There are two more in their resin limited edition lineup.

Where are these from??

That woman is far too good for you MGS

You are probably correct Eilif.
The infinity range do a good job in providing body armour yet you can easily tell that the soldier is a female.
Thinking about it some of the female characters are so OTT how do we know they are not actually ladyboys?

Some of em have all the overstated female stereotyping of drag queens

Vikingscott, those are the Sedition Wars minis from Studio McVey http://www.studiomcvey.com/

Sweeet. Thanks a lot.

Well, Infinity has taken a good deal of cues from the Manga and Anime styles for their artwork, and to some degree, their models... This, imo tends to lead to females wearing armor, yet still retaining a good deal of femininity.There are still a few models from the Infinity line that fall into the OTT category. The various sculpts for the Reverend Moiras come to mind (sorry, my ability to link the pics direct from the site are lacking)

I don't know, I thought the Reverend Moira was rather conservatively attired.



oh
you mean that one:


Do we really need to see the full moon?

definatly! was a moonworshiper my whole life^^

Is, is that one girl's gun attatched to her spine?

If you mean the 3rd from the top it could just be some sort of power/data feed link.

It's the power feed for her bionic/power arm and possibly the gun also.

But she doesn't have a bionic arm! Data link, I could see, though.

Would be kind of cool if the thing around her neck looked more like a night vision scope. Maybe it's supposed to be one, but it looks more like a respirator type thingy.

Oops, I was looking at the top model.

It is an odd choice. why would a gun the size of an SAW be wired to a powerpack the size of a paperback rather than just putting the papeback on the SAW?

I figured she had a HUD in her goggles.

At the risk of undermining my "interested in realism" cred, here is one fantastical miniature that I just love;



2 things right off the top;

- Look at that freaking dinosaur! Ahem...

- While there is quite the "Daisy Duke" vibe to the figure, I find that it's appropriate, and actually enhances the figure. A sort-of-rustic attitude to go with the Western/Fantasy/Post-Apocalyptic feel of the rest of the model.

Really, Studio McVey suffers from an embarrassment of riches in terms of great female minis.

If the critter had a bit and halter and she was holding reins I would like that figure. As it is, I see the critter chucking then eating the rider.

Even if she did not get eaten, ask any female with decent sized breasts how she likes bouncing up and down on a horse without a good bra. We have horses. My wife and her friends usually wear sports bras when riding for a reason. So, no, her attire is not really appropriate if she was going to be a real cowgirl, even on a dinosaur.

This is why we don't invite you to parties, you know

any female with decent sized breasts, how she likes bouncing up and down on a horse without a good bra

Better I say nothing and just leave that thought to your own imaginings

I just dunno what to do with this pair of comments...

A bit? Are you mad? You don't bridle a noble creature like that... besides, as we all know, Velociraptors are far too intelligent for such chicanery...

Besides, you can't compare the butter-smooth, sensuous ride of a bipedal raptor to a common... ungulate. Uch.

Hmmm, One thing that I will add to this, I liked the Tau because all indications were that they are reptilian in nature, and there are very few differences outwardly between males and females of a reptilian species, exce3pt color markings and size of crests/dewlaps, etc. otherwise you really can't tell under the firewarrior/pathfinder/battlesuits what gender they are. Just my 2 cents for fully clothed females.

That's not a raptor, that's a tiny Allosaur. And it does have reigns, on those useful little protrusions on his lower jaw.

There is no room for unrealistic miniatures in the 40k range ... wait!

The Reverend Moiras mooning issue is easily dealt with by painting the buttocks as cloth.

Everyone should walk around with their buttocks painted as cloth. It would be a brave new world.

Don't you mean paint your clothing like buttocks? Get it right!

a large chunk of the reaper models have tastefully dressed female models.

Example.

I don't know if you've heard of a web-series "DrMcNinja" but I think it would be right up your alley, lol

Aye this is a good figure, hmm really need to see what kind of scale difference there are between these and GW figs.

http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/female/latest/60025#detail/IG_668_1

IIRC the scale on the right side of the B/W pic is half inches.
But would it be a problem, if the female miniature is smaller than a GW male one?

It can be. I have a Hasslefree mini that looks like a ten year old in comparison to GW minis.
