Anyone know of any good 25 or 28mm Norman lady miniatures. I'm looking for a married lady of a fief/manor, so with a wimple ala:

Dark Sword does a decent one with Stern Septa, but the sleeves are all wrong. Mirliton does some reasonable ones (I could shave off the cap and putty in the wimple, but they require a minimum order).

You could try for effeminate Arab ancient if there are any that are unbearded. Then green stuff breasts?

I’ve started painting those for the village. I would like to work up a lady for when the Vikings attack. Men were often off playing politics leaving the wife to manage the manor.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Looking at the stern septa from dark sword. Its not bad as a late dark age lady. The sleeves are fine, sleeve decoration was possible and a lady might import fashions from elsewhere in Europe especially if she spent time in court. Fashions were slow moving but some variation in style did exist.
If anything I would be more concerned over the gorget. Bothcan be fixed by painting the dress one colour with the sleeve and collar being stitching, not inlaid fabric.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
