Amazonia Gothique John Blanche




Aka Kinky Chaosette



With the  release of Belladonna for Necromunda.  I thought It a good time to share some photos of this wonderful Model gifted to me By John Blanche and his wife a few years ago .   Looking forward to picking up the new sculpt and creating some Amazonian Femme Millitantes !













Sculpted By Micheal Perry

Based on John's famously powerful depiction of a female warrior clad in actual Armour 

( something of rarity in the Male fantasy led 80's wargaming community ! )











The dandelion clock haired Femme Millitante appeared on the front cover of  WD 79 in 1986 heralding a new era of Nottingham based GW & WD with John Blanche Artistically at the Helm.






 



White Dwarf 82 saw the Poster take on model form as the Kinky chaosette limited edition model , along with the warlock of fighting fantasy magazine fame .

  1. A great showcase of minis and art. You've connected a lot of dots that I mightn't immediately have done. Great seeing it all in one place too!

  2. The Belladonna illustration is by Rachel Pierce and she was sculpted by Nicholas Nguyen.

  3. The original "kinky chaosette" is such a classic -- and that goes both for the illustration and the model. It seems you have the "official" version that was in WD, right? What a fantastic little treasure to have in your collection, Neil!

    I love the way the new Belladonna model taps into the classic illustration, although I will admit I don't really like her bionic leg -- it just seems a bit too angular -- looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with the model.

    Also, one of these days I am finally going to recreate that girl with the flamer that also appeared in the INQ rulebook...

  4. Cheers matey, yeah i only have a handful of other folks models but she takes pride of place . That bald headed warrioress has always reminded me of a 40k tank girl . Should be not too tricky to recreate her with that khornate barbarianess from aos .
