I want to paint a miniature and give it to my girlfriend for christmas gift. Problem is that I have too much to choose from.

The miniature must meet the following three req's:
-Be a GW product
-Not cost more then Ł10 (if part of a multi-mini blister then divide the blister price by qty of minis inside)
-Represent a female character

Any suggestions?

Hi,

possibly a LotR fig? Arwen or Eowyn maybe. Easy to recognise and represent beauty and all that other chick stuff :p . (just don't get her the Balrog! :o She might take it the wrong way.)

Cheers,
Freshmetal

The SOB saint looks like an excellent mini, perhaps that.

You obviously haven't seen my GF when she's ticked off... I think Balrog is pretty describing :O

*Hurrries and turns off the monitor as GF enters the room*

Cheers! :)

Mmmmmm.....Balrog......mmmmmmmmmm   :p  
Seriously, any of the SoB would be nice, or the LoTR suggestions would work also.  There are also the Escher gangers from Necromunda, they are good too.  :)

my 2cents,

At least you get warm, then. When my drill sergeant is in bad mood I think the Ice Queen of Kislev would be a more fitting mini.  }:)

Sigh - I can't see my wife getting thrilled over a model I made for her - in my case it had to be an entire game I'd designed - using GW miniatures. This was some 13 years ago.... then again, if I had to give her a miniature today, it'd have to be a sailing ship - and still in the box. She builds them herself, and is far better than I am.
There's an idea - would she be interested in painting it herself?

Well, Sister was the choice last time round. Now I was thinking something maybe around the lines of an Eldar Banshee...

Necromunda miniatures are locally unavaible.

Vanvlak, this is not an option. A painted miniature is a much better gift then an unpainted one.

I found it that in a country with so small number of wargamers, a miniature can be a good gift idea simply because it is so non-standard.

Here are some suggestions.

1) A female Tanith first trooper (see Tanith Ghost 1 here)

2) Warrior Woman or Rocket girl in the Last Chancers.

3) Phoenix Lord Jain Zar.

4) Howling Banshee Exarch.

I don't know if any of the more exotic ones (Tanith, Last Chancers) are locally available, though.

Pity you only want GW miniatures; Reaper Miniatures has a shedload of female minis.

In fact, I bought a couple hundred bucks worth a few days ago, so I can give them out as Christmas presents to my RPG-gaming friends.

Oh, and there's some truly stellar miniatures available from chronopia/confrontation/celtos etc.
