Lady Ravenclaw Rides Into Battle From FireForge Games
October 23, 2019 by brennon
FireForge Games are riding into battle alongside the valiant Lady Ravenclaw this week as she got added to their webstore for Forgotten World and the Albion faction.
Lady Ravenclaw is another of the Grail Knights, riding out across the land looking for ancient treasures to deliver to her King (or Queen). I really like the look of the model both on foot and mounted on that mighty barded warhorse too. Comparing the two, I reckon that the mounted version has the edge though as she looks dominating, especially with that dark helmet.
Here we also have some Lloyd-views of the model where we can see the back of both the on foot and mounted versions of the model.
She seems like an ace addition to a Fantasy army which is ready to ride into battle under the glow of the grail. I like the idea of using Lady Ravenclaw, at least in her on foot format, as a bit of a dungeon delving hero, perhaps as a paladin maybe?
As it stands, this is an awesome looking new release for the game and I like that they've managed to make her appear female without having to resort to plenty of old fashioned techniques. Are you going to be picking her up to use in your knightly force?
Make sure to drop some comments below!

It’s a nice miniature and it would probably fit nicely in my Bretonnian army, but I don’t think it looks particularly feminine anywhere other than the head of the dismounted version. Swap that head for a helmed one and that model immediately stops being female
I think her ‘frame’ as it were hints that it’s a woman rider if you look at the back of the model. But, that’s just me maybe.
It’s hard to tell really whether it’s a bulky woman or a lithe man. It’s only the head that really gives a clue. The mounted version just looks like a knight.
“The mounted version just looks like a knight”
In essence, nothing wrong with that either. I can see the feminine element to the sculpt though.
Well, Lady Ravenclaw looks all male to me, the mini just has long hair (and let be honest that doesn’t magically make you female like it used to do), in fact it reminds me of that one vain Chaos lord model GW use to sell (my overall opinion). And I am not alone in this assessment, my art major brother thinks her hips are more like a man’s hips (a somewhat important detail) and the bridge of her nose is too masculine (his opinion). However I think I know the reason why they are marketing her this way as far… Read more »
I know exactly why it’s been done, but this only further proves what I have always said. You can either have realistic looking female miniatures or you can have miniatures that look female on the table. You can’t have both.
Clearly you didn’t read the article I stuck in (its just one of many out there) to quote : “Better-fitting armor for female soldiers could also improve armor-fitting for all soldiers down the road. The Army has begun investigating how to make armor plating that better fits the human body — a process that could lead to science fiction visions of futuristic body armor fitted to both men and women.”-Live Science staff I think we all the know what the “science fiction visions of futuristic body armor fitted to both men and women.” they are referring to looks like,Mass Effect… Read more »
