Female Monk from Otherworld Miniatures

Otherworld makes really great miniatures. They started out with monsters looking like they did in 1^st edition AD&D Monster Manual and later on did a range of adventurers looking like adventurers would look like if they went on a real adventure. They have suitabel gear and sensible clothing and armour – no chainmail bikini in sight.

This is the DAH18 Human Female Monk character. Great looking mini armed with a pole-arm, just as a first edition monk would be (Hmm, it would have been good to see her with a bo-stick, though. Just to see what it would look like :-) )

I painted her clothes in light colours (Coat d'Arms Unbleached Wool, Vallejo Pastel Green and Green Ochre) and used Army Painter Soft Tone ink on that to get shadowing. I usually go for darker colours, so this was interesting to try for a change.

I think she turned our rather well, if a bit cross-eyed. 

Anyway, I’m thinking of starting a Frostgrave campaign and she will fit well as an infantrywoman. Lots of more great minis from Otherworld to choose from if you want Frostgrave soldiers or wizards. 

If you’re interested in finding more miniatures of realistically clad females you can’t find a better place than Bad Squiddo Games/The Dice Bag Lady. She’s got a great selection of miniatures from a whole lot of manufacturers. Worth a visit just to be inspired. Great stuff!
