Female marauder horsewomen

I would like to have female marauder horsemen for my Slaanesh cav list, but I'm having trouble finding good looking miniatures for the purpose. Has anyone dealt with this problem before?

If by "anyone" you meant "everyone", then yes, everybody has problems finding good female miniatures. GW does not currently and has rarely ever employed a sculptor with any competence in developing female miniatures. And you are looking for horse riding ladies; that is most likely going to make your search double hard. I would like to see what people suggest to help you out. Off the top of my head, I have nothing at the moment.

you could chopp up Witch elves and use WE wild rider legs, as even the men are feminine. Hell, there's even some female WE wild riders.

DE corsairs have dainty legs too.

Or look at 3rd party models. Avatars of war, Raging heroes have great female sculpts

Eww DE female miniatures, yuck WE female models, yack Brit and HE girls minis. Like I mentioned, GW makes no proper female figures. The best looking girls that GW has ever made were those oop deamonettes, especially those mounted daemonettes/seekers. And maybe the DE sorc models are okay.

3rd party is probably the way to go if you want your girls to look half way presentable.

The 6th Ed daemonettes and mounted daemonettes were some of the finest sculpts GW has ever produced. Perfect anatomy, simple and well thought out. They seem to go for a pretty penny these days though.

quickly everyone sacrifice 100 Mortals to Slaanesh so he can bless us with a recast (damn those daemons be fine).

Llquid_Squid: They may be too fine. I wonder if GW got some heat from young gamer's moms for those. If you notice the current range daemonettes have far less boobage and are way more dressed up in general. We may never get a recast of those 6th ed. beauties.

There are rare finds of female cavalry in various lines. Sometimes hard to come by though. In 28mm historical lines you would look for Female Scythians. Used to be a good lines of these, but I have gotten away from purchasing any historical minis for quite a while now.

I did notice that Mantic (Kings of War) has a Basilean Panther Lancer Regiment Sisterhood Female Cavalry. They are clothed a bit much for my taste :wub: , and are mounted on actual big cats, so not sure if they "fit" a WoC army or not.
