Beowulfthehunter Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think the title is pretty dead on. I need a model with long hair, pointed ears, and a beard. Long Tooth or Razor claw suggestions would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetravis! Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think the title is pretty dead on. I need a model with long hair, pointed ears, and a beard. Long Tooth or Razor claw suggestions would be nice. I've been using elves and just sort of scruffing them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoplasm Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah, it sounds pretty much like elves with a different paint-job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I always thought Piotr Irongale looked Shifter-y. Otherwise, yeah, elves with painted or sculpted on hariy patches. Especially Bobby Jackson's later elves - they have an etheral quality about the face that makes for excellent Eladrin or Shifter (with the right paintjob.)

joshuaslater Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Shifter? I'm guessing it's nothing to do with a transmission? Illuminate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Terrain Monkey Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It's for that game you haven't played yet claim isn't as good as Savage Worlds . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Shifter is a race originally from the Eberron setting of D&D 3.x which also made its way into 4e. They are fundamentally "lycanthropically descended non lycanthropes". That is, they have some were- traits without being full weres. Some shifter types appear to have traits of Wolves, such as longer jaws and fierce cutting teeth, and other have Feline traits, like claws and softer body fur. Similar to this. Simplistically, they're "half werewolf" or "half-weretiger". There was a very long explanation in the Eberron setting book, where they had their own lands and cultures etc. A longer explanation can be found here.

kristof65 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wait a minute. It sounds like Shifter's were a shifty way of bringing furries in to D&D. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, after reading Bryan's description and looking at a few of those pictures, I'd second Bryan's Piotr recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Terrain Monkey Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Don't forget you could probably get away with a Lion-Man or armored Lupine model if you think you'll be headed towards the prestige class that is aimed that way as well. Other than that I know a lot of minis aren't sculpted with beards, but a bit of quick paint work can scruff up any model quickly and easily.

Qwyksilver Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Shifters are basically Wolverine without the Adamantium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaslater Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Back on topic: I'd recommend West Wind Games "Death Elves" for a model close to the pic Bryan linked up. They've got the right face for it. I did break out my bootleg copy of the 4.0 books looking for it until I reread Bryan's post to see it's an Eberron thing. Hope that helps in your search.

Mad Jack Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Depending on what sort of shifter character you're trying to do, you could get away with doing a bit of knifework on some of the half-orcs or maybe even orcs... What class and weapons are you going for? It's probably going to be easier to find a class/gear aprropriate mini and then modify it into a Shifter...
