Does Malinka have a little kitty cat head medallion on the cord for the pistol holster on her right hip (left side of the photo)?

It looks like a kitty cat head wearing an officer's peaked cap. The head has whiskers on both sides of the face and a jeweled collar...or so it appears to me.

Very nice, but I would ditch the dainty little cigarette and holder and replace it with a cigar.

?

So, turns out I prefer older women.

Indeed she does.

**Grot 6**

Where are these ladies located? I checked the site, and can't find them.

**BrookM**

They aren't on-line just yet it seems, pity.

**BrookM**

Looks like it isn't happening today!

Ivanka and her sisters Launch with a very special deal

Download larger image here

The three Kurganova sisters are now ready for the battlefield!
First there was Kapitan Ivanka Kurganova.
Now there is her younger sister Kommander Malinka Kurganova, and her older sister Admiral Olga Kurganova.

You can purchase each separately, or get your hands on the Kurganovas Limited Edition Box which contains
• the 3 Kurganova sisters,
• Charlie, their fearless, cigar-smoking, war bulldog,
• a brand-new additional optional arm for Ivanka.
Charlie and Ivanka's new arm version are ONLY available as part of the Kurganovas Limited Edition Box.

The Limited Edition box has been designed to be a hot deal, since it's almost 3 Euros less expensive than buying the 3 minis separately, and you've got Charlie and the special variation for Ivanka as well! But don't miss out: there are only 1000 boxes, and then they're gone...

Not only that, but as always, we begin this pre-order campaign with a Special Launch Deal:
For Olga, Malinka as well as the Limited Edition box, be one of the first 100 purchases and get them at our special low launch price before they revert to pre-order pricing.

**wspatterson**

Hm. Well, Ivanka still has the terrible disco fever pose, but I like the new sword arm. I still don't like the pistols; they look like hand flamer barrels were stuck on a bolt pistols.
I kind of like Malinka and Olga, though I preferred Malinka with an eye patch. And the dog is cute.

**BobtheInquisitor**

I can't possibly take these models seriously in the context of frontline combat, not with their obvious fetish gear and climax-hither stares. I can, however, appreciate that they are perfect for portraying professional dominatrixes caught in the middle of an extended "role play" by... I don't know... a zombie outbreak or alien invasion. It helps that I ...er... a couple I know own a set of costumes following a, uh, similar theme. Well, they only have one hat and coat, but uh. Yeah.

Still, it would be nice to see a female commissar model with regulation dress.

According to GW, dominatrix gear is regulation dress for female commisars (yes, this is an official GW female commisar).

Spoiler:

**BobtheInquisitor**

With a painted-on nip slip to boot?

**BrookM**

I caved and ordered the whole set, not sure why, maybe for a future Guard army, should I go mad again. Or I could just slot them into Only War / Rogue Trader somehow.

What do you think I want 'em for?

Can't say I'm a fan of the dog, but what the hell. *add to cart*

**BrookM**

Yeah, the dog isn't all that interesting. I found out I'm mostly getting the whole set because Ivanka comes with an extra arm. At first I wanted to run miss classy with the monocle as an officer of the fleet, but I like them better as a trio of sisters with a warrant of trade and way too much time on their hands.

**Azazelx**

I'm a bit torn on the box. On one hand, I already have Ivanka. OTOH it gives me a chance to build one using the alternate arm and the gasmask, as well as the other two new figures.

I'd say: "Get one!"
Olga would say: "Now!!!"

It choked to death on a cheesecake mini. He might have lived if the spiked high heels hadn't caught in his throat and the oversized breasts hadn't blocked his windpipe.

Poor fella was always weak and sickly.

**H.B.M.C.**

All I heard when reading that was a dull droning noise.

**Tannhauser42**

I picked up the set. I'll use them as commissars in my new Eisenkern regiment of Imperial Guard.

**Raging-Heroes**

Special Launch Deal extended for another 50 units!
I thought you'd like to know that with 150 of the 1000 Kurganovas Limited Edition Box Set already gone in less than 3 days, we've decided to extend the special launch price to 200 units...

Also, just for fun, here's the view of the Kurganovas from the back:

posted October 18, 2012

Since we've started working on the Kurganova sisters, many have asked us for Fantasy versions. But before we go any further, you might want to know that the Sci-fi versions are an absolute hit: we've already sold a quarter of The Kurganovas Limited Edition boxed set in less than 4 days!! So we'd suggest that you don't dally if you want one…

So, back to the Fantasy versions… There are really quite a few characters and races that we could explore with the Kurganova sisters…We have decided to go with something we haven't touched before: imperial germanic style characters.

We have several ideas in mind, but we have not explored everything yet…
Currently, we are thinking about elder sister Olga as a high-ranking, fully armoured officer.
For Ivanka and baby sister Malinka, we are hesitating between two options: either a firearm and machinery specialist / sniper type of character, or a hunter wearing a long cvoat à la Van Helsing.
Or perhaps, one of each.

So we'd like your take on this, ASAP because we are ready to move very fast on this.
You may also build up on what we suggest, or go in an entirely different direction.
But please suggest things that you are likely to want to use in your games.

We're eagerly awaiting to hear from you!

**Alpharius**

Wow!

OK, now I want all 3 in SF and Fantasy versions - great!

**Azazelx**

I'd love to see them done in a Russian style. Kislev stuff works well with WHFB Empire and is incorporated into much of it as well.

**BobtheInquisitor**

OK, I can admit to genius when I see it.

**MightyGodzilla**

Wow that's just awesome.

**Azazelx**

Of those two, I prefer the Witch Hunter. Though the tongue still makes me facepalm a little. (and yes, I bought the damn box set!)

**Ian Sturrock**

Just split the box set with a friend, and picked up Gluttony SF too.

Been looking at buying RH for a while, but this was the offer that pushed me over the edge.

**kronk**

The detail on the back of those cloaks was unexpectedly awesome. They went from cheesecake to flipping fun to paint.

Dang. What the hell can I count these as?

**BrookM**

Commissars, commanding officers, advisory personal for command squads?

**kronk**

I was considering a small IG ally force...
