Is there any Nuns or religious types currently available, does anyone know?
I've done a search through the forum and scanned through the webstore, but have come up blank so far.
Nearest I could find was some banter about nuns in the 2012 "what we're making" thread.
I bought some Nuns in 15mm at York to use for scenario purposes and just wondered if there was any available to do the the same in 10mm.
Thanks in advance :)
Aren't there monks in the beggar range?
They aren't listed but I think I got something like that in my beggar army pack???
Just had a look Roy, there are some women in the beggar range which, with a tiny bit of green stuff would easily pass for nuns :)
Yep, there's nothing exactly right but there's some conversion options. The female beggars, as getagrip says, they could work. It depends on what kind of look you're going for really? Proper nuns in big robes or something more skimpy?! There's a pose in the Beggar children as well that's in big robes and could maybe work. Plus there's some Monks in the Late Medieval range, code ELM37.
Thank you.
I'll take a look at the Beggar range with a view to converting.

Pretty sure Leon will send you exactly the ones you need. The women in question have a "realistic" cleavage which you could cover by pushing a bit of green stuff into (hard to describe but the sculpt would make this really easy). They are also carrying various stuff (broom and one has a rolling pin I think).
Anyone got a piccie guys?
These are the Peter Pig 15mm figures I picked up at York to use in my ultra modern gaming (C20th nuns fashion not really changing much)

A monastery requiring evacuation or getting casualties to the Sister's mercy being a couple of ideas I've had.
In 10mm I was thinking about what I could use for Sci-Fi Zombie games.

In 10mm please Leon ;)
We could use them as missionaries for the Aztecs :D
NO - Religion and the A word.......

any chance of these in 10mm Leon?
I was going to do a joke asking for Mother Teresa instead and began looking at pictures ... and realised how easy it would be to convert such a figure (presuming you had a suitably-clad figure to start with).

For those wondering Diana Spencer was 1.78 m / 5'10" tall. So that would make Mother Teresa ... Tiny :o
I'd enjoy a game of Aztecs trying to capture and convert Mother T. to their religion and an item in their diet.
Zombie Aztecs ... :P
The one problem with the beggar women is their size, they would dwarf any historical figures sent to rescue them :o
I've never seen a photo, but hidden in the WW2 Russian range is SV33, "Wounded with female first aiders". I keep meaning to order a pack just to see what they're like, but keep forgetting!
Cheers,

The "monks" are the children code, FBG10. IIRC they are convertions of the medieval peasant monk running with the bill in ELM37. The other monk is walking with a stick.
I'm sure I've posted photos on the forum somewhere, but I'm typing on my phone at the moment so can't readily search.
Cheers!

Thank you for the info. about the scale issue.
I thought it might be a problem, but was going to see what they compared like.
SV33 is a good shout :-bd

Just did a forum search and found this on Kiwidave's post and blog - I think they're the right ones

QuoteThe wounded chap with nurse and the gunner's assistant are from SV33
Lovely painting. :)
Personally think the beggar woman would make a better nun ;)
Yeah, SV33 probably wouldn't look right as nuns, but I'm sure I could think of something for them ... as I'm also after the ww2 french refugees and they could all fit in together once painted.
Cheers all, once again.
What about SC13 Arab civilian range? The standing lady might work for conversion?

Ooh, where have they been hiding?
Feel an order coming on ;)
Hi
If you're looking for a few for a one off scenario you could look at Preiser - they have Nuns with baggage and a Nun with children:-

Pricey but prepainted :).
I have seen some Arab architectural type figure you could use but they are not very good :(.
Cheers

True and not all nuns wear black habits ;)

They wear pink in Burma. It's rather cute. Light blue in Slovakia. White here in Thailand. And Japanese nuns like to relax playing football.
Thanks all for your suggestions.

Okay. So getting back to the bare, naked truth of our beliefs...
I'm looking for a woman. Clothing: Nun.
