FuzzyIzmit Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I have a few characters that I would like to get in pewter for a game that is coming up and I need some help finding them...or suitable for converting, please let me know..I am all ears! Male gnome mage, preferably w/o weapons, but can have spear, darts -- my idea is Balto Burrowell, but quote "He is close but not it". Male orc or half-orc with warhammer (here come the harder ones) --most needed--Female dwarf monk with NO armor and can easily be modified to be bald Female orc or half-orc cleric, preferably with mace. I was thinking the female ogre shamen, but I think she might be too big to pass of as half-orc If anyone has any ideas on minis that would one or any of these, please please please tell me... Thanks!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Offer Frosch money. He's a conversion nutter....... otherwise, it might come down to which is easier- weapon swaps, or greenstuff boobs on an orc...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyIzmit Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 I know I am going to have to do some "cosmetic changes" but I really need a female dwarf with no armor at least...unless someone else has some other ideas for her. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheprera Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Let me check my old Ral Parthas/Grenadiers at home. I might have one, but no promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourningcloud Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 well hasslefree has severel unarmored female dwarves, and they're every bit as good as reapers. Svala, female dwarf comes to mind to fit your needs-she's got a hammer, but it will easily be removed, and her fist (very large, gloved, meaty dwarven fist) looks cocked to throw a mean punch. the no hair part... your on your own for that one. you'll never find a mini to fit that exact Description. anyway it seems to me that a female dwarf's hair would be like her male counterpart's hair-a matter of pride that would never be cut (whether or not your DM subscribes to the female-dwarfs-have-beards theory), even for entry into an esoteric order of martial monks... Female orc or 1/2 cleric-thats easy!! the new kiakara female warlord mini-just remove the funky bat-winged thingy and place your hammer/mace at your discretion. or alternately neroli, the new DHL female 1/2 orc due out this month. sure shes got a sword, but theres plenty of ways around that-either convert, or make her worship a god of war, such as Tyr, from the Fgttn Realms, whose favored weapon is long sword. problem solved. as for a gnome mage, your best bet is A) balto (sorry) or B) nebbin, gnome illusionist from wotc. the metal version of this extremely hard to find (even on ebay), well concieved mini, from back when wotc first launched 3.0 and was still in the metal mini business, is quite honestly a poorer sculpt than the more recnt plactic one they put out (i have seen the metal one, and own the plastic, and the plastic is just a superior mini) as part on the D&D minis game (you can get them on ebay for like $1.00) as for the easy one, male orc with hammer, use the hammer you just cut of svala, female dwarf, and glue it to any orc which catches your fancy!! hope this helps. me, i do it the easy way-i let the beauty and artistry of the miniature inspire me to create a character for that particular mini. i feel this often boost rather than (as im sure some of you are screaming,) hampers my creativity. and i never have the trouble of finding that "perfect miniature" for my cool new character. (course the fact that i'm an uber-wiz at conversions doesnt hurt either!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyIzmit Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks for the Svala idea...I have been having a heck of a time finding female dwarves without armor...I know the rest I will have to get inventive, but I really didnt want to spend all my time trying to figure out how to hide platemail under clothing. This is all still a work in progress....we shall see how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourningcloud Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 hey fuzzy, iff'n you end up doing any conversions, post em so's we can see how they turned out. id particularly like to see the svala, if you go that route. and for gods' sake, keep some hair on that dwarf girl!!

FuzzyIzmit Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 Oh, no worries, I will post them...and yes, she is going to be sans-any hair. Having hair shows vanity, you see, and that is not a monkly pursuit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvok Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 You know, it would be a lot easier to find the right mini if class restrictions were still in play. Just one more reason I hate 3rd Edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 There is no reason why a DM can't restrict certain race/class combinations in their world. Or allow whatever one wants. Rulebooks are to give some basic mechanics and guidelines for play. Ultimately it's the DM's world. (S)he can do whatever (s)he darn well pleases. If a player wants it, and the DM is willing, who cares. We have a player in our group with a Warforged Cleric (War/Healing) 2, Bard 1 with intelligence and charisma penalties and no ranks in perform. He has some sort of a plan that the DM knows about, but the rest of us are completely confuzzled. But he likes his character and is having fun, and in the long and short of it, that's all that really should matter. The open d20 license is all about the House Rule. Go nuts with them if you want. Restrict and/or allow to your hearts content, and your groups. Just come up with a good reason in your world for restricting something or anything. It's a chance for creativity.
