How about bikini-clad windmills?

I prefer it theoretically, but when I think 'Duck' I think Donald... It's the outsized backsides, they just HAVE to stick out...

That wasn't a duck, it was a chicken. erm... well, it was a penguin with a rubber glove on it's head... HOWEVER... thinking Wallace and Grommet makes me think Chicken Run (one of the Finest Movies of Our Time), and the eponymous chickens... and THOSE I can stick a duck's beak and webbed feet on, and believe...

Yes, makes the Humakti/Death ducks more reasonable...

And the supplements? Or just the amalgamated second edition (latecomer...)? I generally agree, high heels are pointless (ouch...), chainmail bikinis would chafe too much, but generally speaking I see no more problem with semi-clad (or, more realistically, tightly-clad) females than with the usual half-naked male barbarian. It makes the woad easier to apply...
Mind you, I always preferred the 25mm figurines sculpted by Julie Guthrie... fully-clad, often armoured, but still sexy... and anatomically possible!
