FirstLevelFighter Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'd like to see a variety of non-human adventurer types of different character classes: elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, half-elves, and half-orcs, male and female each, and a representative of every character class or archetype; fighter-, wizard-, and cleric-types, rogues, barbarians, paladins, bards, monks, rangers, and druids Canvas the entire range of the most likely potential characters. Wild elves or elf barbarians would be sweet. More non-specific, adventurer-types that would fit a variety of classes. Gnomes, half-orcs and other under-represented races in non-descript gear with packs, weapons, and other things that could belong on a figure of a number of different classes. Dwarven bards, gnome clerics, dwarf, elf, and half-orc monks, gnome rangers, and elven clerics. How feasible would it be to make transparent or translucent resin elementals, invisible characters, shadow-creatures, energy beings, and incorporeal undead?

Java Fiend Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 doppelganger: gangly, almost-featureless figure Yeah, doppelgangers! There hasn't been a decent doppelganger mini since Grenadier. Y'know, if you sculpt it right, you could have a fantasy doppelganger figure do double duty (doppel duty, heh) as a sci-fi Grey as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGKushner Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 You mean githyanki like these? That's a good set, but how about another set with one riding a dragon? How about one with a leader in a heavy armor with an even more wicked sword? How about one with two-weapons? How about a spellcaster? They've come a long way since the days of the Fiend Folio.

Cade Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I do think it would be cool to have a mini of a doppleganger, but I have to admit, you rarely ever see a doppleganger in its natural form. If ever it's on a battle mat, it's generally using the form of another creature. Many times, players don't even know it's a doppleganger, so it usually makes more sense to use a different mini. Maybe a doppleganger corpse would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I want a miniature of Teddy Roosevelt riding on a grizzly bear, a revolver in each hand, the bear's reins in his teeth, and wearing a hat, high boots, suspenders, but no shirt. Yeah, I know it sounds bizarre, but I need something with which to demonstrate to unbelievers just what an amazing man TR was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah! Actually, I made a base with just a pair of bootprints and some other elements. It does work really well to keep track of an invisible character. I think the resin figures would be fun to paint up. They would be an interesting departure, and could end up looking very cool on the tabletop.

Drkfathr1 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Clear resin would be pretty nifty for ghosts and spectres too. How about some 1/2 fiends or 1/2 dragons? And let me add my name to the list for some Hobgoblins! Gomes...more gnomes...even though its fairly easy to sub haflings for them. Ape-men Human fighters in chain mail rather than just 1/2 plate Human fighters with different weapons, such as axes, flails, and maces. War dogs Dire Wolves Wolf mounted Goblins I'd really love to see some more dragons, but I know size/cost can be a problem. But, how about casting some in resin or plastic?

They would be an interesting departure, and could end up looking very cool on the tabletop. You could take Reapers Heroic Armatures, make a mold, and cast it in clear resin. Hmmm... I might try that. I just need to learn how to make a mold now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeGKushner Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Are there any figures with arm mounted crossbows? Any semi-cybernetic fantasy characters? With iron Kingdoms and other 'steam' tech settings, it'd be a good style of figure to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionmane Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 More cat-people(the lionman and cheetah girl rocked, how 'bout some more?)!! Some highwayman/'Brotherhood of the Wolf"-styled minis, with long coats, tricorn hats, swords,daggers, etc. Native American, Inca, and Aztecs. Some generic "savages"( loincloths, bows, spears, crude shortswords....like the Picts from REH's stories), and in a similar vein, some "Jungle Hero" types, male and female. Some more swashbucker-types, duellists, pirates, and Musketeers, rapier-weilding heroes and villains. And you can never have enough barbarians.
