Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of our Female Resistance Fighters! These 32mm tall metal figures all feature separate, poseable heads and separate SMG weapons allowing different combinations for more variety.
Also released are the first of a range of Resistance Fighter Accessories designed to fit the Resistance Fighter figures. Protect your resistance fighters with the Helmeted Heads and arm them for the stuggle with the Resistance Fighters Weapons 1.
The Female Resistance Fighters set is priced at £11. Alternatively, purchase 2 sets for £10 each or purchase 3 or more sets for £9 each.
The Resistance Fighter Accessories are priced at £1.90 each. Order 2 or more Helmeted Heads, you'll get a 10% discount on those items and if you order 2 or more Weapons 1 sprues, you'll get a 10% discount on those.
In time I will add specialist fighters and more head and weapon options, but don't hang around – Recruit your Resistance Fighters today for the struggle against oppression!
I have also just put the finishing touches to the new Online Store. You can reach the store via the link on the www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk homepage, or directly at http://statuesqueminiatures.shop033.com. Eventually, I'll redirect the old address to the new shop. I hope this new store will provide a better shopping experience, as well as allowing me to easily offer quantity discounts and special offers! If you have any issues with the Online Store please contact me.
If you could just model those legs and the berets for the ladies I would probably buy about 40 or 50 of them to add to cadian bodies. If you could run a series of ladies arms I would really love it!
Just realised I'd made a mistake with the Resistance Fighter Accessories discount. Arrrgh! Turns out the discount didn't apply as a mix and match discount. So now, if you order 2 or more Helmeted Heads, you'll get a 10% discount on those items and if you order 2 or more Weapons 1 sprues, you'll get a 10% discount on those.
Sorry for the confusion- I'm still learning the new shop..
I like a lot all your range of female models, they look like real women and not like 'others' companies, that seems to think that a woman is a brute with breasts...
In addition to the already (quite) commented-upon fact that these women don't have ridiculously sized chests, and are wearing no armor calling attention to their busts, I think that the best thing about them is the very good quality of the faces. Several female miniatures that I've seen have such fugly heads/faces that they look like men wearing bad wigs. UGLY men wearing bad wigs...
These on the other hand actually look like women. And like actual "resistance fighters" or whatever you want to call them/use them as.
The coats are pretty ace too, and the fact that there's a little bit of variation between the 4. Price is pretty good too - I might just have to think about these for some IG lady renegades, or possibly Alpha Legion "cultists"...
Keep up the good work, make some more great stuff like this, and keep us here on Dakka posted!!
Thanks again, folks. Regarding ridiculous chests, some of the other Statuesque figures may have some of that going on but I wanted these girls to be the grunts, so reckoned too much cleavage may draw too much attention to them!

Should do, I reckon. Here's a quick shot of some of the Statuesque girls hangin' out:
I spent a lot of time trying to make sure these digi-sculpts matched my previous work as well as possible, including having the heads reprinted at 5% (0.25mm!!) bigger. The most expensive 0.25mm I've ever had to pay for, I think!
The only problem I have with these miniatures is that they all share the same face. Some sculptors like Scibor and Werner Klocke reproduce their one lucky face sculpt for all miniatures they produce. A second or third female face would be an improvement (and I am not talking about the same face with a different hat/cap/helmet).

Maybe they're all clones?
In all seriousness, I agree with you. Perhaps a little more variation in facial features would be a good idea. More variety can never hurt.
I hear you, guys. The intention for these figures was for them to be the red shirts or grunts of the Resistance Fighter range so I didn't want too much individuality, though I will say they appeared more individual on screen! Oh well, it's something to improve for next time and I'm having a lot of fun working on the faces for the next releases.
One thing to remember is that painting them will provide a lot more individuality. Even the clothing, as it's not a uniform, can be painted in different colours and shades, some camo, that kind of thing, to really bring some more variety to a larger squad.
I would suggest you make some bald heads, should be easy to do and I'm sure allot of people would buy tons of them. Just the torso would be a good idea as well, so people could do female IG or similar.
I purchased 2 some months back. Very very good sculpts! Little flash, even less mold lines. When standing next to other companies minis they are 1 or 2 mm taller if they are standing straight, but I use them for infinity so they are just tall women. If I can I will put up a comparison pic... but that depends on if I can figure my new phone out...
These are rather nice. I'm glad to see more than one-shot figures that are usually released (not that there's anything wrong with those ladies either). I have been considering IG or SoB allies for my Sallies, so this does present me with more options. Going to have to think about this more.
scipio.au wrote:These look great, and I especially like the fact that they look "real". I saw the thread from work but was actually too scared to open it there...
Interested in these! Will second that everyone needs comparison photos on how the scale with other miniature lines. And I don't mind that their faces are a bit uniform: they're done well and with a bit of paint they'll look different from one another.
L-R Infinity Ghulam, Statuesque, Mantic Corporation, Statuesque, Games Workshop Imperial Guard (a rather battered looking Ebay purchase!)
My GW collection is a bit limited these days, but as you can see GW figures are somewhat bulkier. My figures are more at the Infinity end of the scale, also working nicely with Mantic, Sedition Wars, Hasslefree, Pulp City, Crooked Dice, some Reaper, amongst others. The weapons are a bit smaller than some, as I'm not a huge fan of enormous weapons as you can probably tell by the way I've lopped the end of the Mantic rifle!
However, the intention for the Resistance Fighters is to create a complete range with specialist troopers and leaders, allowing you to make a whole gang (perhaps even an army) of Statuesque girls.
Lines are crisp yet soft.
Fabrics held up convincingly ( something GW sucks at )
Pose are natural and dynamic ( GW can only do bald and screaming with 2 arms in air )
Perfect faces ( GW cant sculpt femalel faces )
Agreed on the quality, I've ordered miss Tumbleworth and miss Foxwell for my games of 7TV. Excellent casting quality, exquisite detail, superb additions to the rest of the stuff I've been hoarding for this game. Might have to order these ladies along with miss Come-Lately to complete the action team. I do like that the girls all have matching uniforms, nicely done!
If you had some more weapon options and a couple of poses, these would become my new IG army. The entire thing. Seriously, this stuff is hot. Heavy weapons poses would be a boon.

You sir, > GW
This is unnecessary, and not even clever or correct. GW isn't a sculptor. GW is a company that over the years has hired many of the best sculptors in the world.

Yeah, they're all a bunch of hacks who can't sculpt a face, fabric or a decent pose. riiiiiiiight.
These Statuesque Miniatures are great, but you can easily praise them without trying to score "geek cred" points from slagging off GW's sculptors. Especially when it's so clearly wrong. It just weakens your premise (that the SMFRFR are good figures).
Look a little big for Guardswomen, but I might buy a set any way including the sniper gal just for funsies, maybe see if I can use them for infinity too. They look about the right size and look to be part of a Ariadna force as Caledonian Volunteer counts as.
I wouldn't replace Infinity models for anything, what with them being so good on their own, but these look like they'd be great civies.
Fantastic faces, really much better than GW's, who look like they've been soaked in a punch bowl of testosterone. Great proportions too. If I didn't have such a huge back catalog of miniatures to work on, I'd definitely buy a few of these. Maybe in the future.

I think GW has a certain style when it comes to both their poses, the depth of detail, concept art, and other art direction factors that all those sculptors you listed are subject to that Statuesque Miniatures is not.
For the factors listed above (fabric, female faces, poses, etc.,), if someone doesn't like the effect of GW's art direction constraints on their sculptors, they're obviously going to assess Statuesque as being better than GW.
And I'd agree with them if they did so as I don't like GW's general aesthetic that is makes it's sculptors adhere to. Compare the Perrys work for GW's 40k & WFB line with the stuff they do for own historical miniatures company. GW fails for me because of the unified aesthetic they have doesn't appeal to me while these miniatures definitely do.
While they do have an overall aesthetic, the details of that vary across each individual range of figures they have, and even from faction to faction.
Categories like "female faces", "poses" and "fabric" don't really come into this though. The Perrys' female faces are quite different to Jes Goodwin's, which is different again to Diaz. The Perrys' work on Empire troops is different to their work on the LotR range.
It's fine to dislike the "MOAR SKULZ" and "screaming bald man" stereotypes that GW uses, but to apply that kind of dislike to not only across the entire range but each sculptor's individual work is clearly just wrong and makes that poster look foolish.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I mean - does the Perrys' "fabric" suddenly improve when they're working on Hundred Years War figures as opposed to Gondor infantry? Did Mark Copplestone's faces suddenly change to be wonderful when he left GW?
scipio.au wrote:The Perrys' work on Empire troops is different to their work on the LotR range.
And this is the crux of the issue.
Statuesque stuff looks more like when the Perry's do LOTR stuff (which they seem to approach in a style like their historical stuff-- more realistic than their Empire stuff).
You may not like other people pointing out the things they don't like about GW, but do like about Statuesque. But for what they like, these miniatures are indeed better than GW. When it comes to 40k and WFB, I can only describe GW's approach to sculpting female faces as 100% poo. Since we know those same sculptors are capable sculptors, I blame the warhammer aesthetic and GW studio art direction.
Since Statuesque doesn't fall into those same categories of things I dislike:
Well I said I'd order some of the new Female resistance Fighters and I did
Ordered 7.30 pm 6th August
Delivered 9.30 am 8th August
Very good customer service there
The figures are excellent 3 part castings with no visible mould lines at all
A separate heads featuring a peg & socket design to aid gluing, the body and the weapon with the hands cast onto it. Again the wrists have sockets to aid gluing without needing to pin
The women are on the realistic (delicate) side of thingz size wise (think Infinity or Sedition Wars) rather than being heroic in scale (GW Imperial Guard), something to concider of you plan to try and use the heads elsewhere.
Yeah, I have nothing to justify to you, now do I have any interest in keeping the argument running.
As for my "defence" of GW. I don't personally care why you or anyone else likes or dislikes any particular range of figures, sculptor, or other artistic work of any kind. You're entirely welcome to dislike GW, their overall style (incredibly diverse that it is), the way they run their company (I'm not a fan), finecast or anything else. I just find the particular points you made to be... shall we say, incredibly broad, and therefore way too long of a bow to draw, and the manner that you did so simply to be "piling on" no useful reason than to be a cool kid on the internets. There's a lot of that about.
I'll bow out of the argument simply by stating that while I think you're completely wrong on all three points that you made, I'll agree to disagree.
Hopefully we can both agree that these figures are nice ones, and leave it at that.
Note that the wyches are great models but still very masculine faced.
I would point out that those Wyches aren't just masculine, they are actually mono-gendered heads. That is, there are no different heads to use with the female heads... also no different legs to use with female torsos. GW "female sculpts" consist of boob plates because that's literally the only thing that makes the miniature a female. Legs, arms and head are all from the same pool. So of course GW's female sculpts end up looking "man-ish".
How this answers for the terrible character sculpts (that is, sculpts that have no interchangeable parts), I have no idea. Other then their "heroic scale" has the same effect on realistic females as it does on realistic males (that is, it obliterates the realistic part).
On topic: Andrew (or anyone), for people in the US that would be interested in ordering these grand ladies, what is the best course of action? Are there any US based retailers, or is it a strictly order from you affair?

For the time being, Statuesque minis are only available direct from me. I've had lots of orders from the US and around the world with no issues so far. For the US the shipping is a flat rate of £3.50 regardless of how many figures your order. I've got to say, since launching Statuesque at the end of 2010, I've been very impressed with the world postal services!
Buzz if you want I can time shipping to the US and give you a PM once I get my girls. I expect it'll be pretty prompt from the rest of the thread's good comments and my previous experiences getting things shipped in from the UK
I get a lot of small orders of minis from the UK. Usually takes about 5-10 days to Australia, but very occasionally 3 weeks. About a week is the most common amount of time though, by far.
I've added these (and the character models) to the big list. Any ETA on more in the series?
Hmmm... I could get on using the link to the resistance fighters but then clicking on any of the store links just gets me stuck on a blank page waiting for googleads to load (which is the same problem I had earlier)...
So yeah, I can get onto maybe 2 pages of the store (the resistance fighters link and one of the arm packs links in the first post) but the rest are not loading.
Hmmm, don't know what's going on there. I'll contact the support people for the webstore and see what they say. Sorry about the problems anyway! If you're still having problems then of course you can contact me at statuesquemini@gmail.com, let me know what you're after and I can forward you a Paypal invoice.
Here's wee preview of two new Resistance Fighter Accessory sprues that will be available soon: Gasmask Heads and another Weapon Sprue including a grenade launcher, a sniper rifle and a light machine gun.
There's another weapon sprue and a girl with a big gun coming too!

Oh, definitely considering them, just harder for me to justify without a game (rather, it's hard for me to paint minis w/o a game, so I've learned to be cautious about buying pretty chunks of metal that sit around for years...)

I use my girls for my Infinity army, they fit in quite nicely! (photos of the comparison in my gallery)
Just took some photos of the third accessory sprue to be going on sale. These guns were something of a whim, just for fun. Obviously I had to take some artistic licence with the design of the guns in order for them to fit the figures, but I think they'd make nice options for some weird war or anachronistic pulp action!
I agree with points a) and c), there (although mostly (c)). But there's no shortage of cool, cheap (or even free) systems for which these models could be used. 7TV has been mentioned already, but as they could happily fit into any 20th Century, 21st Century or near future gaming system, you could run them in Bolt Action, Force-on-Force, Tomorrow's War, Alien War, Infinity or any of a range of interesting skirmish games. None of these is hard to play, and you can either run them as proxies of existing troop types, or make up your own statlines.
The other radical option - and one for which I am becoming an increasingly fervid advocate - is to go write your own rules and have a bit of fun.

3 out of 4. It's not a sorta Sten, there was no way to fit the magazine of a Sten onto the figures, even taking even more artistic licence! But it is a sorta something. Keep guessing!
Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of Rosa of the Resistance, a hero of the struggle against oppression, combining brains, brawn and a very big gun! Measuring approximately 32mm unposed, Rosa joins our growing Resistance Fighter range, all featuring interchangeable heads for more variety.
Also released are more pieces for the Resistance Fighter Accessories range designed to fit the Resistance Fighter figures.
Protect your resistance fighters from deadly gas with the Gasmask Heads.
Arm them with some heavier weapons with the Resistance Fighters Weapons 2. Included on the sprue is a grenade launcher, a sniper rifle and a light machine gun.
The Retro SMG sprue allows for a bit of weird war or retro pulp action.
Rosa of the Resistance is priced at £4.75. Purchase two Rosas for £4.50 each ; three or more for £4.25 each.
The Gasmask Heads, Weapons 2 and Retro SMG sprues are priced at £1.90 each. Purchase two or three of the same sprue for £1.75 each ; four or more of the same sprue for £1.60 each.

Helloooo new Escher Heavy!
Edit: Hmm, I guess she would work as an Orlock Heavy too.
Once this line is slightly more fleshed out, and I have a little money (and have made progress with my Chaos Marine troops units) I think that I am going to get some of these to make one more Cultist squad of all ladies.
Thanks to everyone who's picked some figures so far!
Anyways, I've been fiddling around with some bits and pieces and I've put together this conversion of Inigo Wilde to show the Gasmask heads on a male figure. I think it shows they're suitable for any figure that features a more proportional head, whether male or female. He's also holding on of the resistance fighter SMGs with the left hand filed away. He looks suitably creepy and sinister I reckon!
Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of Lila of the Resistance, sniper and weapons specialist!
Measuring approximately 32mm unposed, Lila joins our growing Resistance Fighter range, all featuring interchangeable heads for more variety. Lila can be armed with either a sniper rifle or an S.O.E.-supplied Experimental Energy Cannon.
Lila of the Resistance is priced at £4.75. Purchase two Lila for £4.50 each ; three or more for £4.25 each.
Also starting now, Statuesque Miniatures is running a Sale with 10% OFF all figures, excluding accessories. Use the code LILA2012 to get your discount! This discount is in addition to the quantity discounts we offer across our range. The sale runs until 16th December 2012.
Statuesque Miniatures is two years old today! I'd like to mark this in some way, with the chance to spread the word about Statuesque and offer you the chance to win some prizes!
The Statuesque Miniatures' Social Media Extravaganza
I have a lot of exciting things planned for 2013, our third year - more releases, expanded ranges, new genres and maybe even some male miniatures!
As such, I want to be able to reach as many people as possible to show them all these exciting things as they happen. We already have a Facebook page, the Khorosho Productions blog and a Twitter account but I want MORE followers! So how about a prize draw? Or three?
When the Facebook page, Twitter account and Khorosho Productions blog reach 1000 Likes and 500 Followers respectively, I will hold a prize draw including all the names on each list! Three prize draws with a total prize pot of over £165.
Full details can be seen HERE. So spread the word, come and see what Statuesque Miniatures has to offer and maybe win some goodies!
I've just finished Indigo Wilde, and started on Lila so I'm in the Statuesque zone at the moment
If you take any photos feel free to post them on the Facebook Page, or if you're shy send them my email address. I really get a kick out of seeing painted figures, regardless of ability, as it completes the process I started when I sculpted them.
The same goes for everyone else, folks - I really like to see painted figs! If you're feeling confident, Platoon Britannica are running a Statuesque painting competition at the moment, too.
And don't forget the sale is still running: LILA2012 code for 10% off all figures!
I've also been having fun over the festive period finishing off the next batch of figures for the printer. Completed are a bad ass Commissar (the Commies are moving in to try and influence the Resistance), a couple of NCO types plus more head and weapon options and some other figures I'm not telling about yet!
I'm not normally one to show renders of my work but the new Zbrush update came with some snazzy 'cell shaded' render options that I've been playing about with. Please bear in mind I know nothing about the rendering process as I only sculpt for printing!
First up is Commissar Vespera Venko. Some Resistance groups come under the sway of the various political factions in play in the world of Secrets, Spies and Saboteurs. Commissar Venko is tasked with aiding and advising her assigned Resistance Cell.
She will be a two-part casting with an optional gasmask head.
Next are the Resistance Fighter Cell Officers. These figures will be sold together and both feature separate right arms (cut at the handily placed arm-band) that can be swapped between the figures. Doing this actually changes the pose quite considerably, so along with the usual separate heads, these figures should have a lot of posing options. I've also designed a weapon option sprue for even more variety. For later release I have more figures planned that will use this arm sprue, as it provides me with another method of adding variety to the Resistance Fighter range.
I hope to get these, along with some other bits and pieces, off to print this week with production hopefully late January/ early February.

Robbery Alph, nothing but a harmless armed robbery with pistols and coshes.
Thanks guys. While Vespera likes to dress up in high heels, corsets and stockings in her spare time, she decided she needed more sober attire if she were to be taken seriously by the Resistance.

I was going to do helmet heads actually. Hmm but gas masks...
On a side note, I think the real reason I'm buying these is I have a strange urge to buy all of the Statuesque minis from the Resistance line and the S.O.E Kill team...
Andrew! Admit it! You've been putting mind control devices in your minis haven't you?
KalashnikovMarine wrote: Andrew! Admit it! You've been putting mind control devices in your minis haven't you?
Shhhhhh! Nobody is supposed to know that. It works particularly well on Orlando as hardly anyone buys Inigo, the one and only Statuesque male (for now anyway)!
I'm finding the different head options quite handy for differentiating squads for my gaming; helmets on one squad, berets on another and gasmasks for the kinky death squad! At the moment I'm working on the 'Cracking Hairdo' sprue and, I must say, I'm having a lot of fun. Should've been a hairdresser...
If I was going to do an entire Resistance "army" I'd use helmets for the general troops, berets for the sergeants, then the officers for... well officers and yeah gas masks for the kinky death squad.
BrookM wrote: I take it these hairdo heads will be compatible with the 7TV line yes?
I think the Statuesque heads are a bit smaller in general than the Crooked Dice ones (at least smaller than the Fembot heads I did, I don't know about Ian Mountain's heads) but they should look good. CD heads on Statuesque bodies might look odd but the other way round could work. I think the CD necks would need trimming a bit.
Could you please do some bald female heads, there are no good ones on the market that I know of. I'd be willing to buy 50-100 of these if you did them.
Female torsos would also be great in the style of the IG torso.

Yes this, and also non-bald, non-helmeted heads. Female heads and army torsoes will sell loads, since there's a lack of good customizable military females right now.
To be honest, conversion parts for another manufacturer's figures isn't high on the list of priorities. This isn't me being snooty against companies that provide that kind of thing, rather I don't think I would gain much satisfaction from doing it. I enjoy designing and sculpting complete characters (as should be obvious from the number of silly names in the range ) . The separate heads allow for more variety but I still set out to sculpt an individual such as Rosa or Lila or even the girls in the Resistance Fighters pack.
Also, I'm not entirely convinced a female torso would be much use as what would it go with? I'd likely have to sculpt legs to match and arms with weapons for them to look right as a complete figure. By that time, I'm getting dangerously close to a female facsimile of another manufacturer's design. A split at the waist also isn't the best plan for female figures as there's an awful lot going on in that area to do with the position of the hips relative to the shoulders. It's a big part of sculpting a female miniature in my opinion, especially to make them look feminine on the table top without resorting to too ridiculous breasts!
I wrote a long post of my blog about the design choices I took with the Resistance Fighter range and how it influences the next range I'm planning, the Faceless Oppressors. You can read it HERE. Rest assured this range will include female troopers (though they will be released after the initial launch). I've decided since I wrote that blog entry to do the Faceless Oppressors in the same manner as the Resistance Fighters, with complete bodies and separate heads and weapons.
Of course, the Resistance Fighter heads will look good on figures of many of the more finely proportioned ranges out there, but the intention was always for them to be used on the Resistance Fighter figures, first and foremost.
Complete bodies with separate heads works better IMHO, just look at the extras from the Crooked Dice range and Bolt Action with their own "Figure Head System" to avoid having too many of the same minis.

Yup, it's my preference, too. I think many people would be surprised by how different the same model can look just with a different head position. Add in a variety of different head styles and weapon options and they're even less similar.
Come the next release I'll have 4 fighter bodies, 2 officer/sergeant bodies, 2 specialists (with more coming), a commissar, 3 head spues (more on the way) and 4 weapon sprues (again, more coming...). And I'll keep adding to the range as time goes on (senior officer, medic, radio operator... lots of ideas)! Plus the SOE girls go great with the Resistance Fighters as character figures.
For the Faceless Oppressors, the current plan will be 3 troopers, 2 NCOs, Heavy weapon team (2 figures) plus a special weapon sprue and HW upgrade sprue. I'll also add different weapon option sprues and different head/helmet designs. And then there will be the female troopers, though I've yet to finalise the production plan for them. All in all, lots of variety!
Keep the minis coming, I especially like the Resistance fighters, who wear a certain type of clothing that goes well with the 7TV setting and style, especially the original headgear of the beanies and berets.

Will do. I think Karl and Graeme of CD and I share a certain fondness for retro stylings, especially retro females! I'd be a happy man if I could just spend all my time sculpting girls in berets, trench coats and boots, though I'm rather shocked that after 2 years I still don't have such a figure in my range!
As much as I love their Pandora King and May Killian minis, I want a girl along the lines of Cate Archer for my spy cast.
There's always Agatha Fox that I did way back when (my 9th sculpt evar!): PHOTO She's still one of my favourite figures I've done. Flogged her to Reaper, though the casting they used for their shop photo is all bent.

Figures arrived safely, extremely quickly and with a few extras - extremely impressed and happy. Might use for my Judge Dredd Sov War era resistance fighters
thanks
Looking forward to seeing what else appears...........
First up is Commissar Vespera Venko. Some Resistance groups come under the sway of the various political factions in play in the world of Secrets, Spies and Saboteurs. Commissar Venko is tasked with aiding and advising her assigned Resistance Cell.
She will be a two-part casting with an optional gasmask head.
Next are the Resistance Fighter Cell Officers. These figures will be sold together and both feature separate right arms (cut at the handily placed arm-band) that can be swapped between the figures. Doing this actually changes the pose quite considerably, so along with the usual separate heads, these figures should have a lot of posing options. I've also designed a weapon option sprue for even more variety. For later release I have more figures planned that will use this arm sprue, as it provides me with another method of adding variety to the Resistance Fighter range.
I hope to get these, along with some other bits and pieces, off to print this week with production hopefully late January/ early February.
Looking forward to this, Venko is definitely going to be joining my Commissar Cadre, while left-hand officer will become a member of my Inquisitor Henchmen team, I just love the detail on that model. Add some "Lila"s and we'll be in good shape!
Left hand officer's going to be fun to paint. She's getting a unique paint job from the rest of the unit because with a cigar and pose like that I've mentally promoted her to femme John McClane.

Kalashnilov!!! That video is killah! How did I not know about that?!?!
Now, who can I use for BA and Murdoch? Hmmm...
Andrew, any thoughts?
(and, in my defense, I just watched the A-Team movie the other night and that Liam Neeson pic was the first that came up in my search. I apologize to the purists.)

Best chorus of any song ever amirite?
If it were me I'd say Rosie with some chains would make a good BA (still need to find a VAN... or at least an APC painted up in the famous red and black pattern) and Bella might make a good Murdoch if you GS'd a baseball cap up for her from her beret, her jacket's a little too fitted to pass off as a flight jacket, but if you have space wolves stuff or fur like bits on hand you could work up a collar like my flight jacket (the standard issue military one that is) easily enough. If you have the skill level (and I've seen your work so I'd guess you do) give her a decent case of crazy eyes and you're set!
a fur collar and cuffs and a ball cap would be a piece of cake...
I just picked up four rhino/predators, but IG and Inq Henchmen need a Chimera, yes? (BRB) yup...
gonna have to hit up one of the boyz at the FLGS and see if he wants to trade for an Ork trukk. That would be cool, you know, cuz red wunz go fasta!!
(OK, I know it's only got a red stripe, but you know what I mean)
A Chimera just isn't going to work, I need a VAN or a trukk that I can make LOOK like a van
...Hannah(bal) can be the Inquisitor, right? I'm thinking it's diorama time...
EDIT: I got my trukk, it's conversion time y'all. This is gonna be KILLAH!
BrookM wrote: Just received my resistance fighters and retro SMG's, lovely stuff! Also thanks for the gas mask heads, verrrry subtle mind control in action there!
Mwahahaha! You're welcome and I'm glad they arrived safe and sound.
@Hdbbstephen and Kalashnikov Marine: I like the way your minds work! I'd probably go for Rosa and Bella as BA and Murdoch as well. Bella already has a fur trim on her collar which makes things a bit easier. Rosa is the biggest and toughest of the Resistance girls so seems appropriate for BA and I guess her dog tags could be painted gold if you didn't fancy GSing some bling!
One more time, all together now: I love it when a plan comes together!
Oops, Edit @ Jehan-reznor: The weapon isn't separate as I decided to minimise the number of parts to cut out unnecessary pinning. However, it wouldn't be too tricky a conversion to change her gun, or to use the upcoming Cell Officer weapon option sprue.
Thanks for the comparison pic, Melvin. Loving Agatha's outfit! Since you're going for a more retro vibe with the girls, I can recommend the Wargames Factory american plastic figures for a source of bits and pieces to add to your girls, not to mention bolt action rifles. My order arrived today and I must say they're great figures; couple of dodgy poses but some great ones too. They also scale nicely with my girls. But it's the wee packs, pouches and extra equipment I'm really after to customise my army.
I've considered doing a sprue of bits and pieces like that but to be honest, I reckon they would just be a pain in the ass in metal. Plastic is probably easier to work with for such tiny parts.
That is one nice thing about playing guard then getting some Resistance girls, plenty of grenade bits, backpacks and the like to gear them up properly. I'd guess the SM pouches would look a little oversized on them though.
Just a quick note for an offer I'm running at the moment due to an overstock.
The Resistance Fighter Accessory sprue Weapons 1 and Gasmask Heads are BUY ONE GET ONE FREE until Monday 28th January, or while stocks last. Order 1 of these sprues and receive 2 copies, order 2 and receive 4 and so on!
Don't forget that the Gasmask Heads may also work on your male figures with a bit of conversion work; they need protection too!
Hopefully early February if production goes smoothly. There's no reason that it shouldn't. Things slipped by about a week as the printer forgot to send me a quote. That said, I just paid the invoice (ouch!), so things are moving again now.
For Andrew and Kalashnikov, I picked up my Trukk for the conversion on Sat, been busy with some Wood Elves so it'll get some attention as soon as the ladies are ready to ship!
Here she is, freshly recovered from the Mek-boyz' shop and ready for re-conditioning!
Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of the next wave of Resistance Fighter figures.
Liaising with the higher command and leading their comrades into battle, the Resistance Cell Officers are vital in the fight against oppression! These figures feature interchangeable heads and weapon arms for more variety. The Cell Officers set is priced a £9. Purchase two sets for £8 each and three or more sets for only £7!
For a limited time only, you can pick up a set of Cell Officers and two Female Resistance Fighter sets for only£25 with the Resistance Cell Special Offer, saving £4! Buy two Cells for £24 each and 3 or more Cells for only £23 each! This offer will run until the 3rd of March.
Commissar Vespera Venko has been tasked by the E.S.U. command with guiding receptive Resistance Cells along the path to political enlightenment! Commissar Venko features two choices of heads: an officer's cap with a steely gaze or a faceless, sinister gasmask. Commissar Venko is priced at £4.95. Purchase two Venkos for £4.70 each and three or more for only £4.45!
Everyone likes to look their best, even when going into battle, so the Cracking Hairdo Head sprue is perfect for the more diserning Resistance Fighter. The Cracking Hairdo Head sprue is priced at £1.90. Purchase two sprues for £1.75 each and four or more for only £1.60 each!
A beret is an essential part of any Resistance Fighter wardrobe, so here's the Beret Head sprue for all your beret needs. The Beret Head sprue is priced at £1.90. Purchase two sprues for £1.75 each and four or more for only £1.60 each!
And finally, the Cell Officer Weapon sprue allows you to arm your Cell Officers with a variety of deadly weapons. The Cell Officer Weapon sprue is priced at £1.90. Purchase two sprues for £1.75 each and four or more for only £1.60 each!
Those are some really lovely models. Nice to see some tasteful models of women who are actually dressed reasonably, with decent head sculpts and some nice poses.
Hope that helps you get your heads around the sizing of the figures. Both the Dust Tactics figure and the Infinity figure are crouching a fair bit more than they appear in the photos, so standing would be a few mm taller. Venko is also wearing some modest heels; she likes to look intimidating!
Hi, just a quick note to say that any new orders (after 6pm UK time 17/2) containing SM010 Female Resistance Fighters or the SMS Resistance Cell Deal will not be posted until I have received a restock of the Resistance Fighter figures. I'd hope to be restocked within 5 working days.
All orders currently placed (as of 6pm today UK time) were for figures in stock and will be sent immediately. So basically, if you've made an order already it will be posted tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on how long it takes to pack them all.
Sorry for the inconvenience but the demand for little metal women has been greater than anticipated!
Yeah it's nice that they're selling well but I feel a bit daft having to put in a restock order so soon. It just very difficult to gauge how things will sell and I'd already spent a lot getting the figures to production so didn't want to spend money on unnecessary stock that could have hung around for a while.
I've made sure it's clear in the product listing that there will be a delay, and hopefully it won't be too long.
I hope other sellers take not of your message here and the product listing update. THAT is good customer service... and regardless of the circumstances, nothing to be embarrased about.

I suspect the head sprues are the major booster, having one means you can justify 4 more resistance fighters, having 2 different sets means another 8 are quite a sensible purchace as they can all be unique (in the way we delude ourselves buying new shinies)

That's the evil mastermind plan- Mwahahaha!
I'm proud of how the range is turning out; the officers and extra heads have really added more variety as you say. And there's more to come, too!
Got my order of head sprues, Comissar Venko and the Cell Officers through the door this morning and very nice they are too
(thanks for the nice quick posting Andrew)
The 2 pony tails on the 'cracking hairdos' head sprue are actually separate pieces so by leaving them off (and green stuffing the attatchment points) you can add a further degree of difference.
I really like the ribbed sweater on one of the cell officers... if my freehand skills were better I could go for a paint job like Sarah Lund's famout jumpers in 'The Killing'
Oh God. Now I'm trying hard to justify NOT buying these miniatures. Like, all of them. I just don't have a system to play them in since I also want my miniatures to hit the table for an excuse to show them off.
If I play them in infinity, what troops will they represent? I was thinking using them as Impersonation tokens and color and use appropriate heads on each of the different factions for them. They could certainly fit the Ariadna aesthetic well, and the berets will help them look like Fusiliers.
That's the correct part in the post to you now, BrookM. Sorry again about that. I packed a lot of orders that day, I guess I should have had another coffee!
Anyway, the restock for Resistance Fighters arrived yesterday, so you can order again safe in the knowledge they will be sent out to you ASAP. There are still 10 days left to pick up the Resistance Cell Special Offer!
Wow... I hardly ever check this thread, now I'm so glad I did. Those are incredible!
I have really been wanting some decently clad (and well sculpted!) female guard. I am waiting on the Black Widows from Dreamforge's kickstarter, but these are extremely tempting.
Absolutely fantastic release and I will be following this thread from now on!
Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of Eva of the Resistance, a hero of the struggle against oppression armed with a deadly RPG launcher! Measuring approximately 32mm unposed, Eva joins our Resistance Fighter range, all featuring interchangeable heads for more variety.
Until March 31st Eva of the Resistance is priced at the special launch price of £4.50. Purchase two Evas for £4.25 each ; three or more for only £4 each!
Please note, due to changes in the Royal Mail pricing structure coming on the 2nd of April, I will have to alter our Postage and Packaging prices to coincide with this. I've yet to decide on the future P&P policy but if you want to take advantage of our current flat-rate postage of £2.50 to the UK, £3.00 to Europe and £3.50 to the rest of the world, now is the time to order!
BrookM wrote: Are there any plans for alternate arms for Eva?
Not for Eva, though it wouldn't be too tricky to use the Cell Officer weapon arms and a bit of putty work. You'd either need to use putty to build the top of her coat sleeve above the armband, or chop up her RPG arm. Similarly, with some minor conversion work the Officers could be armed with her RPG.
Sweet! And, good news on another front, we've found an apartment and will be moving this week, so I should be able to place my order before the post deadline!
I should be able to get cracking on "Project A" mid-April...
I saw those a wee while ago. You did a lovely job of the conversions and instigated a rush on head sales! I owe you a pint for that (or maybe, should you make another order, some free sprues would be more appropriate given the geography involved...).
My package arrived yesterday!! The models have a very high level of detail and smoothness. Commissar Venko only has the hint of a mold line - very well done!
Mathieu Raymond wrote: I'll say, it always warms my cockles that someone in the company actually writes "Thanks" on the invoice.
And a heartfelt 'thanks' it is too, for all orders big or small. I get a really kick out of sending my figures all over the world and I'm grateful for every order, especially in this era of Kickstarter. It's not something I say very much, but every order really is helping Statuesque grow just as much as any Kickstarter pledge. Without your orders there would be no Statuesque!
Anyway, here's a reminder that the current offers end tomorrow - the free sprues with the Resistance Fighters and Cell Officers as well as the introductory price of Eva. Sadly P&P will have to go up on international orders too, due to a price increase from the Royal Mail, so now is a great time to order!
Your postage was extremely affordable, so it going up slightly is not a big deal, especially for the quality you ship. Can't wait to use your cracking hairdo heads on a few custom minis.
Mathieu Raymond wrote: And you just made me realize that I can use your girls as an Ariadna sectorial force. I just need a few more to bring my group up to 17 minis.
Ever thought about making a "Special Forces" special? Grab five of the individual gals for a little rebate?
He is offering great prices already. Let the man make a few bucks.
Thanks Yodhrin. I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised by the metal castings. I also put a lot of effort into making the figures as painless to assemble as possible; I learned from the first four Statuesque figures that skinny arms are rather tricky to pin and now I feel the Resistance Fighter range is a very easy, yet adaptable, range to get on the table.
In other news, I'm pleased to announce that Fenris Games will be stocking Statuesque Miniatures at Salute on the 20th of April! They will be carrying the entire range, so get along to Stand TB02 to check out the girls (and Inigo...) in person!
Ooh missed these til now. Looking good, Mathieu! I particularly like the red coat and blue jeans combo! Thanks for the second order too. It was posted yesterday so the girls should be winging their way to you as I type!
Thank you Andrew. I've finished basing them, on a thin piece of cork to simulate old pavement, and the lip of the bases are painted as if they were standing on the FRRM logo from Infinity. They really, really turn out fantastic.
In other news, I've been fiddling about with the newsletter system and I think I've got the first Statuesque Newsletter sorted and scheduled to be sent on Friday. It will include details of Statuesque at Salute with Fenris Games, a couple of sneak peeks and also a weekend P&P special offer that those of you who won't be attending Salute may be interested in.
Anyway, if you fancy signing up to the Newsetter, head over HERE and we shall see if Friday will indeed bring the scheduled email!
So now we're offering FREE Postage and Packaging on any order of £50 or more! This offer runs until Sunday night, 21st of April.
That was you don't have to miss out on a bit of saving if you're not going to Salute this weekend. Did I mention the Statuesque Miniatures range will be at Salute with Fenris Games? Stand TB02? I'm sure I must have...
I've decided to discontinue a number of figures once the current stock runs out. There are a variety of reasons for this- too fiddly, not matching current Statuesque style or simply poor sales (Inigo!). Most will be reborn in some form or another, particularly little Ezmeralda who will be stalking long-forgotten halls again soon. Catch 'em while you can!
IdentifyZero wrote: Surprised Mei-lin sold poorly... she is pretty awesome. Like the above dude I own all the figures (Except inigo & Ezmeralda) lol and I love them all.
Mei-Lin has sold well in her time, as have they all except for Inigo and to a lesser extent Ezme. However, sales of these now tick over and the cost of restocking them isn't paid for for a while. I'd rather spend the money on new figures that better match the range as it is today.
With the latest batch of figures sent to the printers earlier this week, I have been able to get back to work on the Faceless Oppressor range. I have now finished the basic trooper pack, though in a change from the original plan, this pack now contains four figures rather than three. With the two NCO figures, this means six unique poses even before the Heavy Weapon troops are included.
Each figure features a separate, poseable head and separate rifles which can be swapped with the weapons from the Special Weapon sprue - a flame thrower, grenade launcher, squad automatic weapon and an energy weapon. The renders show the figures on 25mm bases.
Next I will be finishing the NCO pack of two figures. They are already posed and nearing completion. Each figure will have a separate head as with the troopers and two separate arms. The arms will be able to be used on both figures allowing plenty of variety. I also plan to make a sprue of NCO weapons, such as laser pistols, energy pistols and possibly some close-combat weapons. Any ideas as to what to include would be much appreciated!
The original plan was to release the Troopers, NCOs and Heavy Weapon Teams at the same time. However, I think I will likely release the Troopers and NCOs first, giving me time to perfect the Heavy Weapon teams. It will be less of an outlay for me (and also for the customers!) but I intend to get the Heavy Weapon teams released as soon as possible after the initial launch.
The launch is still a few months away, with plenty of Resistance Fighter goodness still to come before then, but I'm really pleased to have completed this first stage of the preparation!
Cheers,
Andrew Rae
@BrookM: Nice idea! If I were to do her again, I would probably include a normal dog as an option too.
Ooooh. I've just found my count-as Loup-Garou. I couldn't stand my friend always saying that the minis look like a ripoff of Freejack, so this will be poifect.
Will the flamethrowers they get be compatible with the Resistance? For Project A I will be using the gals as Veterans for my IG army, & I'd love to have a flamer for them...
BTW I have assembled the first three - Resistance Cell officers and the Commissar:
(I can't decide if I am going to be using these bases, as they are quite a bit larger than "official" 40k bases)
I am really impressed with the quality of the molds, almost no mold lines and it was a breeze to pin the arms as the shoulder mounting area was so nice and flat.
Looking forward to finishing out my order later this week.

I've got a flamethrower on a sprue for the Resistance Fighters that should be released in May, just need to finalise mould allocation. The FO weapons won't fit the Resistance Fighters. I considered it, but decided not to limit myself in that way. The weapon stock is attached to the weapon on the FOs rather than the figure as on the Resistance fighters and the hand positions are slightly different. Basically, I what I learned from doing the Resistance Fighters I used to make the Faceless Oppressors even better.

Glad they went together easily for you. I made a particular effort to design the Resistance Fighter range in a way that would go together easily despite being metal so I'm glad it paid off for you. Regarding bases, if you would like 25mm round bases in your next order let me know. I originally switched to 30mm because my supplier's mould had broken so the 25s weren't available at the time I needed them. I actually prefer 25mm bases but the thought of switching all the packs and changing all my photos is a bit daunting.
Looks great BrookM! I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail. I was thinking about adding one or two schnauzers from this mini from dark sword which I just picked up lately.
In lieu of a new release (I dropped a printed part...), I've decided to run the Resistance Cell Special Offer again for a limited time. £26 for the Cell Officers and two packs of Resistance Fighters, saving over 10%, even more if you purchase multiple cells!
The offer runs until the 27th of May or while stocks last.

It depends what games you play, I guess. In skirmish games they would simply be characters but in a battle wargame they could represent some kind of bonus, perhaps to moral or leadership, which would portray the troops giving that little bit extra for the camera!

There would definitely be a use as an objective, or bonus, especially in a campaign or set of narrative battles...can't wait to get my hands on them and add them to the "Project A" set!
I think a wee update on the status of the next releases is in order.
Due to family commitments, I will be away from Thursday 4th July until Tuesday 9th of July. Any orders that are placed after 5pm UK time on Wednesday 3rd of July will not be sent until Wednesday 10th of July. Sorry for the inconvenience, but a long threatened family gathering means I must make the perilous journey northwards...
I had hoped to have the next wave of releases on sale by now, but unfortunately the castings weren't dispatched when promised. Hopefully, I will receive the castings on the 10th so sales can finally begin. There have been a lot of delays with this release, including moving home, so it will be good to get them on sale! Thanks for your patience.
The releases will be Tallulah Caine and her cameraman Carter, and the Resistance Fighter Recon Team of two figures. There's plenty planned for the future too, so hopefully we can get back to some regular releases now I'm fully settled in to my new home.
First of the new releases is the Resistance Recon Team. As will all figures in the Resistance Fighter range, these figures feature separate heads allowing you to use any head from the range. Additionally, the accessories they hold in their left hands - a pair of binoculars and a radio handset - can be used on either figure. To top it all off, the weapon arms are also interchangeable and fully compatible with the Cell Officer Weapons Sprue and the Resistance Cell Officers!
The Resistance Recon Team is priced at £9. Purchase two sets for £8 each and three or more sets for only £7 each! In addition each purchase of the Resistance Recon Team placed up to and including the 31st of July will receive a FREE Cell Officer Weapons Sprue!
Next is the release of Tallulah Caine and her trusty cameraman Carter. These figures are something of an update of the news TV news team I sculpted for the Frothers Unite sculpting competition in 2009. They were only available briefly in the winners set and since then I've been asked a number of times what happened to them, so I thought I better finally sculpt some replacements!
Tallulah Caine and Carter are priced at £8.00 for the set and as usual there are discounts for multiple purchases. Head over to the shop to pick up your news team!
Of the five figures that are to be discontinued once current stock has sold, Kitzie Rama is now out of production. Additionally, stock of Inigo Wilde is low and stock of Havana Gray is very low. Head over to the shop to grab them while you can!
That's it for this month, I think. Remember to keep an eye on our Facebook page and Twitter account for the latest news from Statuesque Miniatures!
