I am currently playing a Psionic Artificer incarnation of my favorite ongoing character, but I am lacking a figure to represent him. I have been searching the internet for a miniature which resembles an elf with a gadgeteer like feel to him. Sadly I have not had any luck so far.

I am hoping to find something on the lines of the image below (from these forums and I believe an Eberron book) an the following miniature:

I would prefer not to use a D&D miniature, since they do not look very well and I prefer to paint and customize my miniatures and characters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I particularly like the second figure shown in the picture of the Shadowbeat Journalists set. Technically it's supposed to be a human, and his vidcam might need to be modded into a repeating crossbow, but it looks like a very cool figure nonetheless.

I think he meant the figure that he gave the link to.

04-21-08, 08:04 PM Try to find the old Chainmail miniatures, not the original 60s-70's stuff, but the non-collectable metal minis that WotC put out before the DDMs. Look for the Grey Elf Sorcerer, its an elf mini with a spear.

This is a conversion I did on it to make it into a Silver Flame based Warlock:

Basically, I just cut the spear off, glued the head to the back of his hand as a punching dagger, and added a little plastic bead to the end of one of the haft sections (that had a ribbon tied to it) to make a wand to stick on his belt.

Otherwise, note all of the pouches he's got.
If you're any good at sculpting, adding a monocle to his face would be pretty easy.

Ooh! I like. Indeedie. :love:

You do some good work Edymnion. Very nice paint job, and I like the conversions.

I will try finding this mini ASAP. I'll have to think of my own changes to it, though, or it just won't be mine. However, I am so taking that monocle idea. :D

Thank you for taking the time to help me out, and thank you for posting your own fig.

Also, thank you ChaoticGood. That particular fig looked too human for this character, but I found some other minis on there which I now want to get.
