I bought a comickers magazine at Book off (in Japan)
saw this drawing

and thought that would make a cool miniature!

Anything you would like to be turned into a miniature?

How can she lift that bolter? Her bionic arm would snap off before she could hoist it.

I see you are new to this thing.

You seem to misunderstand how a bionic arm works, it amplifies the strengt of the person augmented with it. Hence carrying the bolter would be a non issue, and most likely its not a Astartes patern one. More likely one built to standard human requierments.

Also, miss Thornhallow is quite a tough lady and a badass if you've read the Koronus Bestiary.

But back on topic, they should really do a line of Rogue Trader themed minis as found in the FFG publications.

It'll save me having to convert her that way

Whoever designed that first mini of her is a sadist.

And yet it is probably the one I'll have to use for the conversion, because it has the least repositioning to do

Yep. Gimme a set of fremen looking like a mix of that and this & I'll be very happy



Second image has disappeared for some reason?

... am now thinking of Fremen-based IG - they'd rock!

Female Commissars? Yes please!
Fremen or Sardaukar IG? Yes please!

Pretty much any piece of artwork done by Rodney Matthews, the guy is my favorite artist ever!

(Artwork for Tolkien's Hobbit btw)

Just about any of Jason Chan's angels. There is a distinct lack of good angel minis in the market.



Other goodies

This Jes Goodwin sketch of an Imperial Guardsmen from the early 90s. The lasgun was made available in some Necromunda sprues, but there was never an actual model made of the trooper:

Most of Jess Goodwin's sketches should be turned into miniatures, those old eldar sketches are great

I was really stoked when Juan Diaz used the Imperial Navy designs from Jes' book for the regimental advisors pack.

This guy:



Also, many of the 1ksons characters that were in the Horus Heresy art books from years past. I really hope that FW does great things for my boys, come their turn in the HH.

Nice one!

There are a lot of interesting concepts in that artbook from the horus heresey card game, forge world takes a lot of inspiration from that i think.

For the Heresy era stuff...Forge World is working a lot from the Horus Heresy card game artwork.

Speaking just of GW "stuff" - I think they could make a killing off from character models pulled from the FFG RPG books. Either allow FFG to contract them or have Forge World or GW HQ work on something. I know I get lots of clammering for those figures...and while you can convert some from regular kits, a lot of the more characterful drawings are outside the scope of your average hobbyist converting.

Cult Marines based on the drawings at the front of each section of the 3rd Edition Codex Chaos Space Marines book would also be pretty slick. Though, those are from a bit less family friendly time...so GW HQ probably wouldn't want to get involved in that too much.

Just in general...artwork that I would like to see as Miniatures - Eggleton, Elmore, Brom, Royo, Caldwell, Long, Parkinson, Frazetta, Gimenez and a few dozen or so other artists. A lot of them have been made into miniatures (either officially through companies like Dark Sword) or unofficially by fans who are also sculptors.

Ah luis Royo, great drawings, wait a minute doesn't Brom have figures?

A properly scaled Turok from warmachine/hordes

Obviously

This guy, the size of Ghaz at least.

Ooh, good call. I always liked that pic

Oh, I so want these kinds of things when FW get to doing 1kSons:
