Beauty and the Beast Take 2- Models chosen Dark Sword Miniatures 5th Anniversary Mini - ‘Melissa’ SKU:DSM1309 Sculpted by Tom Meier, Citadel Miniatures C23 ‘Oriental Ogre’ (July 1985) Sculpted by Jes Goodwin and Dunkeldorf Miniatures ‘Isolde the Guard Chicken’ sculpted by Sonny Bundgaard. Following on in the same style as the previous Beauty and the Beast entry, here we have another great sculpt from Dark Sword Miniatures. She captures that ‘Conan the Barbarian’ or D&D feel through her rather revealing outfit which I guess reflects the perceptions of heroines during the the 1980s hay day in fantasy war gaming. As with the Elven Princess, I’ve used x3 Citadel Miniatures Bretonnian Knight’s Dear shield transfers to give added detail to the cloak. She is accompanied by two Schnauzers that come with the mini, but I’ve discarded her original base for a stepped 40mm Fenris? dungeon base. The same style of base has been used to mount the Oriental Ogre who has a really horrible flash/mould line across his face, that I had to incorporate it as a big scar. Similarly to Skrag, I wanted to give this ogre a companion and chose the similarly simply-armoured chicken from the recent Dunkeldorf Kickstarter. maybe this Ogre is a follower of the Rooster? I’ve got a load of Dunkeldorf Miniatures in my pile of shame from their Kickstartera, so perhaps they need to jump the queue to be seen next?
