Reaper Miniatures Bring a Host of New Releases
August 4, 2011 by dracs
The guys at Reaper Miniatures have been in a flurry of activity with a veritable host of new releases over a wide selection of their ranges.
First up are the releases for the Dark Haven Legends range.
Barbed Devil
Barrow Wight Guardian
Both of these would be perfect for use in any fantasy style RPG you might play. The Wight Guardian in particular could provide a an excellent alternate piece for an undead army.
The next additions can be found for the Chronoscope range.
Edna, the Crazy Cat Lady
Sparg, Illyrian Agent
Motorcycle
I particularly like the crazy cat lady miniature here. Who doesn't have a soft spot for crazy cat ladies? Possibly she might find a place in Cthuluhu type games.
For the Pathfinder range we have this almost Piratical looking figure, the Pathfinder agent.
Lastly, Reaper have brought forth some new releases for their Savage Worlds selection.
Gunslinger
Huckster
Texas Ranger
These are three particularly nice Wild West figures and I hope to see them making appearances in people's games of a certain Western style skirmish game.
What do you all think of these? Is there any miniatures you particularly like?
the 3 last figs are a must for GFYG!
Edna FTW!!!
I heart Edna! lol
Wonder if she is someone Darrell plays against at the old folks’ home?
Grand stuff!
I MUST have Edna ! This is a very important RPG NPC for me…
I can just hear her think… “They all go for the cyanide pills… So many guests, so few recipes…”

Edna looks like the pick of this bunch. Great figure.
Finally, Edna! That model is bizarrely awesome, and the cats are great added value. I’m planning on using her in Malifaux as a Desperate Merc (cut off cane, replace w/ pistol). The cats will be a Hoarcat pride for my Marcus collection.
All this discussion about Edna got me thinking… elderly people are very underrepresented in miniatures. Even from a company like Reaper that thrives on RPG-friendly minis, there’s very few minis for older people that aren’t wizards!
I can hear you thinking. Who’ll start the figure company first? Zimmer figures anyone?
There’s an old lady and an elderly barbarian from Hasslefree, and there’s a Cohen the Barbarian miniature in the Discword range from Micro Art Studio… That’s about it, I’d say. There may be more from Artizan designs… Under-represented indeed !
BoW Romain
Not just Cohen I believe the whole of the Silver Horde are available. Saving Ronald Saveloy / Teach of course. Ah gotta love those barbarian heroes who have had a lifetime experience of not dying.
BoW Sam
This is a salient point
There must be an aging group of gamers among the community that deserve to be represented.
Edna could be the start of something big…
if only I could remember what it was…
