New Blood.
Disney
My youngest adores Frozen.
One of the things I have to do is get my desires, likes and ego out the way. I dislike frozen quite a lot. I dislike a great deal of the new wave disney.
She adores it and completely immerses herself as Elsa the ice and elemental sorceress.
I would love to get my girls playing games with me and the best way to do it is to meet them at their own enjoyments. So I painted up Elsa and Anna as best I could to match the films. Now I am the first to admit that it’s not a stellar job, I’m not very accomplished as a painter. My daughters imagination and enthusiasm has been fired up with my lane attempts so it is good enough. She wanted to paint a monster for her disney characters to combat in our dungeon so she happily painted a Dungeon saga Troll. She insisted he is red as he likes Jam. She also insisted that he had pooed himself. I think the results bear both these claims out.
Next up, get her rolling some dice in Mantic Dungeon Saga but a very paired back form. Well we will just be rolling dice with the highest number wins. Wins what you say? Anything she wants, I need it to be her game after all.
Nuiance and complexity can come later.
The miniatures are from hassle free and have been put on dungeon saga bases. One thing I did have to do was add green stuff to Elsa’s dress, it was cut very high indeed! A little over sexualised for my tastes, indeed most female minis I’ve come across have been massively over sexualised. The best I have come across are the Elf ‘Madriga’ in dungeon saga, some frostgrave female wizards and some of the wiz kids female stuff for dungeons and dragons. I would like some more convincing female models that portray adventurous women in a bit more realistic manner, not always as muscular she hulks or scantily clad in a mischievous pose. Or some bloody minded combination of these!

Huzza old bean!
They should rerecord the snowman song with the first line as ‘Do you wanna build a warband?’
My kids need no encouragement with those songs! I can’t stop thinking about the tunes in this film or on that flipping pony film!!!
For less sexualised female minis check out Bad Squiddo ,her stuff is great.
I did not know these existed, I’m now £40 lighter. My thanks!
