A trio of tavern talent worth saving…

October 10, 2021

I think the intimidating innkeeper probably surrounds himself with people he can manipulate, coerce and bully, hence here are three more bar staff who perhaps have no choice but to work in this tavern due to their circumstances and use their ‘social skills’ to keep the patrons happy, when the adventurers arrive they may be able to discover what hold the innkeeper has over them and liberate them or at least change the ‘management’?

L-R ‘Strumpet’, ‘Brigitte’, ‘Gretchen’…. First up we have the Reaper Miniatures - Townsfolk II (Strumpet) SKU: 02584 Sculpted by Bobby Jackson. She is mounted on a 30mm lipped round dungeon base most likely from Fenris? Although she does have an integral base, it was sufficiently small and thin to reduce and enable the mini to be incorporated into the resin base. Like the previous bar staff, I’ve tried to keep the paint pallet simple to reflect her status. Next is Reaper Miniatures - Gretchen, Oktoberfest, Fraulein SKU: 50118 Sculpted by Werner Klocke. Mounted on a 30mm lipped round dungeon base again from Fenris (I think?) I know Klocke’s sculpts can be an acquired taste, but he actually packs a huge amount of character and detail into his minis and I hope I have done justice to the sculpt with my actual painting and style of painting? You’ll have to decide… but I think she’s ready for the bar room. The final one in the trio is Reaper Miniatures - Brigitte, Naughty French Maid SKU: 50084 Sculpted by Werner Klocke. Also mounted on a 30mm lipped round dungeon base probably from Fenris. This is a Chronoscope Steampunk mini, but I think she fits in with the bar staff, especially as the base I’ve mounted her on has an integral spilt bottle. The mini comes with a tab, so it was easy enough to clip off before affixing her to the base.
