I really feel your pain. I have complained for years that GW has absolutely no idea how to sculpt women, and their ham-handed attempts at “sexy” are laughable. Hips do not exist in their miniature world. Their attempts to express femininity have all the subtlety of mudflaps on a semi while still missing the mark.

The mini you landed on seems like a great match for your criteria, and demonstrates that even sculptors like Werner Klocke (who has plenty of fan-service-y sculpts) can produce an understated femininity.

[…] cycle involved kidnaping and rape. Their sculptors always had issues creating female models without objectifying and sexualizing them. But those were minor problems compared to the new rule […]

Also, I linked your post in the forum of the Infinity miniature game. We have a thread there about female sexual objectification (which is already 111 pages long) in the game. The Spanish company which makes Infinity has some of the best gravers in the world. However, they are a wee bit macho and that irks some of the players…

@ Alphast:

Heh, it’s kinda funny because they are a UK company, but yeah, I get what you mean. The old Dwarfs are pretty cool though. They are odd, but in an interesting ways. :)

That’s one of the many reasons I don’t own Games Workshop stuff. Frankly everything is disproportionate, ugly and has this typical “American” feel. Reaper on the other hand has always amazed me with interesting poses, attire and graving.
