Dane Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm trying to find some varied earth elemental figs for a potential dwarf summoner character I want to roll up someday. He'll specialize in summoning earth-based creatures, especially elementals. Problem is, the smaller-size classes of earth elementals (those of Small and Medium size) are poorly represented by the companies I've seen thus far. I absolutely ADORE the new Reaper earth ele, but he's too big to be a low-level summon. Anyone seen anything Small or Medium sized? I'm not a huge fan of the one Reaper has in the elemental pack. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Okada Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I know what you mean. But if you paint metal minis, repainting DDM is always another good option. With proper repaing, medium-earth elemental of DDM look OK IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madog Barfog Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Older minis are usually smaller. There is a set of AD&D elementals (http://www.hacklopedia.com/miniatures/Ral_Partha/Ral_Partha_History.shtml for details) that has an earth elemental in it. I think it's small. There's also this one: http://www.hacklopedia.com/miniatures/earth_elemental.shtml He may be a little large; I can take a measurement if you like. If you can find FF1 (The Fiend) from Citadel's Fiend Factory (http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Fiend_Factory_-_FF), he makes a great earth golem type creature (sorry, I have no pic on my website for that one yet, but maybe I'll dig one up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemist Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The magma elementals 02-451a and 02-451b from Ral Partha Europe might work if you got rid of their fiery crests. They appear to be medium sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for all the resources, everyone. Definitely a few steps in the right direction. Barring that, I may just go to the beach, gather up a few fistfuls of pebblies, and greenstuff them into small humanoid armatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Now that sounds like a great idea! No offense to the manufacturers, but there's nothing more "earth elemental" than earth itself! -mojoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyrmgear Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I gotta say (and absolutely no offense meant to anyone here, just sharing my opinion ), when I think of of Dwarf-summoned earth elementals, I kinda picture something more ... hewn, I guess. I think of Dwarfs as master stone workers and the summoning of an earth elemental would (again, in my own imaginings) take on the vision of the summoner. So a Dwarf earth elemental would have crisp lines, maybe a few celtic-knot ornaments and a dwarf-like visage. I think that summoned critters should reflect the race that summons them; so Elf earth elementals would be thin and sinewy, Dwarf blocky but well shaped, Orc very earthen (pile of rocks), human very 'human-statue' like, etc. I have never seen anything like this; had I the skill I would sculpt my own, alas...
