Another Kickstarter from Midlam Miniatures. The figures are always high quality and their service is par excellence!
“The Nuns of Midlam Abbey live lives almost totally separated from the brothers, a condition which is overseen by the Abbess, Mother Mia. They are renowned for their weaving, intricate tapestries, fine wines and healing arts.
There are many reasons that women choose to enter the Abbey. Some are daughters of minor nobles who prefer the life to marrying some terrible old Knight. Some are drawn to the nunnery through their faith, some in their quest for knowledge and some seek peace and shelter from a harsh and unforgiving world.
For the most part, they are respected and held in reverence, but some ask questions. They are said to have a number of members of the lost village of Hexham amongst their number and have accepted the confessions of former Moon Cultists and let them into their order. But against all speculation and rumour, they are protected by the the walls of the Abbey, the Seal of the Baron of Midlam and their faith in the Lord.” Midlam Miniatures

Thanks I always enjoy painting these Midlam Miniatures Kick-starters.
Great work on the nuns without guns Dave
Ah yes, but you obviously didn’t peek under their habits!
I was not expecting to see a post about Nuns today, but I will CONFESS that I have kicked THE HABIT of scrolling through blog-posts too quickly and I stopped and admired this fine of group of tiny SISTERS. I like them a lot — fun and funny!
Just keep counting those black beads and playing dominoes and all will be forgiven.
Nice, they look really cool.
Thanks I like these small kickstarter groups from Midlam miniatures.
Certain terms related to a nun’s attire might sound ribald or suggestive when taken out of context or misunderstood. Here are some examples:
1. **Habit**: While it simply refers to the distinctive clothing worn by a nun, the word “habit” can also imply a routine behavior, sometimes associated with vices.
2. **Veil**: This head covering might be misconstrued or associated with sensual connotations.
3. **Wimple**: This cloth covering the neck and sides of the face might sound unusual and potentially suggestive to the uninitiated.
4. **Scapular**: This long, wide piece of cloth worn over the shoulders could be misunderstood due to its unfamiliarity.
5. **Cincture**: This belt or sash around the waist could be misinterpreted as a provocative accessory.
6. **Rosary**: While it is a string of beads used for prayer, the term might be misconstrued in different contexts.
7. **Cowl**: This hooded garment might sound like a suggestive term to some.
These terms, while entirely appropriate and respectful within their religious context, could be misinterpreted by those unfamiliar with their meanings.
“Nice” Chuckster!
