I've been suddenly struck by the desire to make a 28mm miniature of my Guild Wars 2 MMO character, and I'm a little stumped as to what figure to use as a base. He's a mushroom themed Sylvari (basically a plant elf) Mesmer (Illusionist mage, more or less). This boils down to a somewhat slim humanoid wizard, wearing robes and wielding a two-handed sword, with a mushroom cap instead of hair. Now the mushroom part is easy, nearly anyone can sculpt a passable cap, and the face isn't too important since I'll be covering it with what I can best describe as a barklike texture. What is an issue is finding a relatively slim, robed, mystical figure with a greatsword, which is an uncommon combination of weapon and attire, at least in miniature form. Any ideas? |

Look through the Reaper Bones range for Wizards (most are skinny, some have swords & you can trim the pointy hats off ;-), Elves, etc. I could point you to specifics, but my own collection is currently buried under lots of boxes… :-( |

DisasterWargamer, That figure might work well as a base, although that's a bit plainer than my character usually dresses (MMO fashion tends to be over the top). The face is also the right overall shape, making it easier to sculpt a more Slylvari face on him (assuming I'm careful removing the hair around it). The odd thing is that I did a series of very similar figure finder seaches before posting this topic and he never showed up in my results. That's definitely the front-runner, though I'm still open to other options if you folks think of any more. |

20thmaine, You've got the right idea, his main deal is creating illusionary clones of himself. Well, that and shooting lasers out of his greatsword. He doesn't really use it as a sword. |
