Or how gravity works. Unless the left one is attempting to steal the cup.

Didn't have a problem with her on her own- had kind of a warlord sensibility to it that I didn't expect- but in the context of the whole set... not my taste at all.

I like to think she did learn, but has since decapitated that dude for trying to insist that she conform to the world when she has the power to make the world bend to her will.

Good call, i put one in the post about the campaign but not the title :/

Also It is now funded and working towards the first stretch goal.

Love the pose that lady is in. Taking what is otherwise a traditional harem lady, usually either standing demurely at the side of a man or dancing seductively, and putting her in a traditionally male pose of supreme power is unexpected and feminist as feth. Love it!

There are a lot of words I'd use to describe that model, and "feminist" is far from one of them.

Yeah, right? I had the same reaction from the single one, and then... something changed that opinion. Too bad, really.

I know someone who would love the fire dancer mini (she's into fire dancing and burlesque) but I can't think of any way I could ever mention it to her without coming across super creepy.

Seems pretty straight forward, just say you saw it on a forum or on Kickstarter (which recommends things), give the NSFW politically incorrect/Conan/Frazetta-esque warning, send the link. Or just get the dancer, paint it, and give it as a gift. Easy peasy.

A little illustrative or sculpted naughtiness wouldn't raise the eyebrow of any burlesque performers I know.

I wonder how much of the nudity will actually carry through to the pewter.. looking at the genie, the metal is actually a bit more covered. That's cool for me.. since I would be sculpting on coverings anyway but I could see other backers being a bit pissed..

What, out of interest? Is nudity anti-feminist now?

I'm interested to see the guards and I'd love some of that terrain, but sadly there's no indication it's EU-friendly. The present set of models are well executed but I don't do diaramas so they're little use to me.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?

For me it was more that the lady on the chair breaks stereotypes in a cool way, the rest are just bog standard sexy ladies doing sexy things. Would have been much more interesting if they did a total reversal of the Conan tropes and made the dancers nude beefcakes worshipping the old lady and posing seductively.

Fair enough. I'm waiting to see what the Male Slave and Guard stretch goals look like before judging too much - it was maybe a missed opportunity to not go with the 100% subversive version up-front, but I don't think it's fair to start invoking ism's at this stage given the core model clearly indicates they've been thinking about this sort of thing at least to some degree.

I don't want to get too deep into this, but I'd like to say that it doesn't need to be a complete flip to be pretty positive. It says that the Sultana is both in charge (Supreme Ruler) and a lesbian or at least bisexual. Plus, it says that a woman in power doesn't have to have oiled up muscle men as her preference (unless they would have all been prettyboys). It's good to note that even her personal guards are female, though.

In terms of models, though? Meh.

I liked their previous models. I like the concepts

However I have alot of similar and unpainted models :( still very tempted as its not expensive - as long as i don't get hit for customs charges again

Can we please keep the personal politics out of this? It has seeped into everything else and reading news about miniature games and models is one of the few places I would like to be able to browse without seeing labels and virtue shaming being spewed about.

Okay, I find the set tacky. There, just an aesthetic judgement, no morals.

That is some weird looking musculature and proportions on the Sultana... I also initially thought she was wearing a domino mask, but no, that's just how her face turned out. Cat is also suffering from lumpy body syndrome.

The fire dancer and fan bearers turned out pretty good though! Better than what should be the centerpiece.

You could probably get these, do a quick basecoat and sell them for a decent amount on ebay. It's amazing how non-discerning fans of titty miniatures are.

So wait.. a set of cheap NPCs doesn't have good anatomy and suddenly anyone backing this is a perv with bad taste? Sorry but GW was doing bad anatomy and proportions before it was cool.
