No, "Liberty leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix. Would it work if she is in front of all the men? |

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have bitten the bullet and ordered Tilly Tumbleworth from Statuesque Miniatures. (I linked it in a post earlier)
Now I have to wait...

It'd be like that famous french painting, the name of which escapes me. You mean from Allo Allo? You mean "Ze fallen Madonna wit ze big boobies"? |

I'm not a girl and I do love me some boobies, but why are most female minis so overly sexualized? It's getting ridiculous.

Because either the sculptors look like this, or they think all gamers look like that. :I I'd like some "realism" in the figures too. Realism as in female models that look like soldiers and not strippers. |

Exactly. Remember the female commissar with the open coat and no top that's been passed by? I think it was a brother vinni model.

Yeah, at least those look like proper warrior women, not like the Playboy bunnies from Apocalypse Now that wandered into a combat zone...

The models don't look like strippers and most of them are fully clothed. That and they are the best female minis I've seen. The one I bought still has some cleavage but not enough to get people excited! I'm just waiting for it to arrive now. |

Would they not be a bit tall Dazza? The site says they are 32mm tall, bit bigger than most guardsmen.

They must be rocking some big boobies under there to warrant that amount of expanded armour. Clearly the Kadeshi are a fair and civilised race that like their women top heavy.... They are good though. |

Hehehe, I thought of lady Tau too. Shame its for 30mm though, even with the bigger bust size all you would need is a good head bit and you have yourself some female troopers.

Well the model arrived today. As you can see in the picture below, scale is not an issue. Most GW '28mm' minis tend to be closer to 30mm anyways. The fact that she is crouching helps too.  I'm very happy with my purchase and she should look good in the squad. Now to get to painting her... |

Ah yeah, I must confess that I actually ordered the Kurganova Sisters set just for laughs/joy of painting, and they arrived a few weeks ago. They actually are very nice minis--well sculpted, and no casting errors that I could detect. Still debating whether or not to swap their stock weapons out for actual 40K ones and make them more legit seeming female Commissars, or just leave them as is for display purposes.

Haha, I just ordered those a few hours ago when I saw the necro. I was holding my breathe there when you said "I must confess" like there was going to be a scale issue or something else sucked. I'm glad it was a positive review. |
