Nice work, I like the choices of SMGs

These are very cool, in a pulp kind of way. Just wish I...

a) had some money
b) had a system to play them in
c) didn't have a million tonnes of models to paint already

I agree with points a) and c), there (although mostly (c)). But there's no shortage of cool, cheap (or even free) systems for which these models could be used. 7TV has been mentioned already, but as they could happily fit into any 20th Century, 21st Century or near future gaming system, you could run them in Bolt Action, Force-on-Force, Tomorrow's War, Alien War, Infinity or any of a range of interesting skirmish games. None of these is hard to play, and you can either run them as proxies of existing troop types, or make up your own statlines.

The other radical option - and one for which I am becoming an increasingly fervid advocate - is to go write your own rules and have a bit of fun.

Just took some photos of the third accessory sprue to be going on sale. These guns were something of a whim, just for fun. Obviously I had to take some artistic licence with the design of the guns in order for them to fit the figures, but I think they'd make nice options for some weird war or anachronistic pulp action!

Tommy gun, PPSH, Sten... sorta and MP-...40 I want to say. So much win!

3 out of 4. It's not a sorta Sten, there was no way to fit the magazine of a Sten onto the figures, even taking even more artistic licence! But it is a sorta something. Keep guessing!

Reminds me a bit of the Carl Gustav M45

Wow.... and I have a knowledge of obscure firearms bordering on the obscene, never even heard of that one. Good job Brook!

Oh please, I'm by no means an expert on these things, I've never fired one in my life!

Helloooo new Escher Heavy!
Edit: Hmm, I guess she would work as an Orlock Heavy too.

Looks like my 7TV Americans have found another hero!

She looks like a keeper.

Also, is it just me or do some of the resistance fighters have a real Patty Hearst vibe?

Rosa looks like a wonderful Metros heavy machine gunner... Do want.

Hmm, makes me want to write some kind of sexy Call of Cthulhu skirmish game.

Once this line is slightly more fleshed out, and I have a little money (and have made progress with my Chaos Marine troops units) I think that I am going to get some of these to make one more Cultist squad of all ladies.

Thanks to everyone who's picked some figures so far!


Anyways, I've been fiddling around with some bits and pieces and I've put together this conversion of Inigo Wilde to show the Gasmask heads on a male figure. I think it shows they're suitable for any figure that features a more proportional head, whether male or female. He's also holding on of the resistance fighter SMGs with the left hand filed away. He looks suitably creepy and sinister I reckon!

Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of Lila of the Resistance, sniper and weapons specialist!



Measuring approximately 32mm unposed, Lila joins our growing Resistance Fighter range, all featuring interchangeable heads for more variety. Lila can be armed with either a sniper rifle or an S.O.E.-supplied Experimental Energy Cannon.

Lila of the Resistance is priced at £4.75. Purchase two Lila for £4.50 each ; three or more for £4.25 each.

Also starting now, Statuesque Miniatures is running a Sale with 10% OFF all figures, excluding accessories. Use the code LILA2012 to get your discount! This discount is in addition to the quantity discounts we offer across our range. The sale runs until 16th December 2012.

Have to say that I really love the Rosa figure.

If I knew a new figure was due I'd have held my order back for a week

Oh well I could always try your Indigo Wild conversion too,

so ordered again (I do apreciate how fast you ship!)

EDIT: I forgot to use Andrew's discount code (actually I was too busy drooling over Lila to read that bit), so he refunded me the 10% anyway

How cool is that from a company ! Everybody should rush out and take advantage of his offer

No worries Anthony.

Yeah don't forget your discount code like Orlando here did! LILA2012 for 10% off!

Tommy gun, PPSH,

PPs43 not Ppsh...

I have recently brought from Statuesque.

Tilly and Rosa, excellent minis, well sculpted and nice to paint.

I brought some gasmask heads as well.

Top notch all round.

Statuesque Miniatures is two years old today! I'd like to mark this in some way, with the chance to spread the word about Statuesque and offer you the chance to win some prizes!

I have a lot of exciting things planned for 2013, our third year - more releases, expanded ranges, new genres and maybe even some male miniatures!

I've just finished Indigo Wilde, and started on Lila so I'm in the Statuesque zone at the moment

Liked, followed and followed

If you take any photos feel free to post them on the Facebook Page, or if you're shy send them my email address. I really get a kick out of seeing painted figures, regardless of ability, as it completes the process I started when I sculpted them.

The same goes for everyone else, folks - I really like to see painted figs! If you're feeling confident, Platoon Britannica are running a Statuesque painting competition at the moment, too.

And don't forget the sale is still running: LILA2012 code for 10% off all figures!

I'll post a photo for you when I can track down the cable I need to use with my decent camera

At the moment it's in one of those 'safe places' you're convinced is a good place to store important things..... then immediatly forget where it is

Female heads. If you make female heads, you will not be able to keep up production, I swear.

Someone needs to make some decent female heads.

I think I've got some decent female heads ready for the next release. No hats or helmets, just cracking hair-dos!

I've also extended the SALE until 31st December! It seemed a bit Scrooge-like to end it just before Christmas. Discount code LILA2012 for 10% off.
