I think this was a concept for a lead miniature – the sort of thing guys that can’t get girlfriends collect, paint, and then use to have tabletop adventures of the imagination. But really, if you had a figurehead like this – even a miniature one – do you really NEED a girlfriend?
Actually, yes, you still need a girlfriend. Because if you try to date a ship’s figurehead you’ll not only have trouble getting into fine restaurants, but also, this gal looks pretty mean. You deserve better.
Great figurehead.
Ah yes… The Dark Maiden. The Figurehead of Capt. Razig’s ship. Such a lovely peice she is.
“There is only one woman in Razig’s life that has been with him since his first voyage and that has stood with him through all the trials and heartaches of life and unlife… his ship. The Dark Maiden loves him true, loves him forever, and loves him jealously. She never speaks, professing her love in the creaks of her timbers that lull the captain to sleep and showing her anguish in the moans of the wind through her rigging. Only she knows where the storm winds will take them and what black schemes dwell within her rotting wooden heart. There was one pact made separate from the crew and Razig, and that pact gave the Dark Maiden a body. When Razig pursues his prey across the land, the Dark Maiden now goes with him. She is almost always at his side and when she is not… nobody knows why. The Maiden keeps her secrets.”
-From the description of the Dark Maiden
Now that is one COOL figurehead. Love it!
Reaper Miniatures are some of the finest gaming miniatures ever produced. If I still collected them (I’ve given away thousands to my gaming pal, Justin) I would sign away much of my paycheck to those fine folks.
