Post subject:  I need a non-ordinary wizard

I'm looking for a non-stereotypical wizard mini, meaning
1) Absolutely no beard
2) No pointy hat
3) Preferably bald
4) Male

Bonus points if he is of the "pacific islands" type. Even more bonus points if he's wearing something else than the stereotypical loincloth.

I've already looked at Reaper, Fenryll, Hasslefree and Darksword. Anny help appreciated.

What is a 'pacific island' type? If I knew maybe I can be of help. ???

Well, um, looks like people living there (Hawaii & such).  :blush:

Mind you, that's just bonus points. I'm perfectly satisfied with just the basic requirements labeled 1-4.  :)

Can't say I've ever seen a mini of a Polynesian wizard. :D

You could try converting a necromunda ratskin (not necessarily the shaman). They don't have beards, but some do have a loincloth.

What about "Deepest Darkest Africa" for a style there Mojarn?

Copplestone Castings does some rather spiffy High Adventure / Pulp style figs that might do in a pinch. Unfortunately though they come in packs of multiple figs:

This is the Ngoni Chiefs and Witchdoctors pack

I would also say don't just look at the "magic Users". Look at the monks as well for example. Sometimes other figures fit the bill as well if not better.

Thanks for tips, everybody! I have some ideas already. And Javelin, that's a scary looking wizard. The pose is very dynamic; he's obviously casting a spell with a difficult somatic component. Which manufacturer makes those? Kudos for the paintjob, it must've been a pain to paint that shirt. The trousers seem very well layered, too. :laugh:

Hi Mojarn, here's some Buddhist Monks from the Pulp range:
Monks
Could work at a pinch :D

Hmm. Interesting. Thanks!

I've also thought about doing a head swap to some more mundane wizard with Hasslefree's spare heads.
