Pretty much says it all in the title, one of my players needs an unpainted miniture to use as his Deva Cleric. I don't like the official stuff that much and two of my players are good painters from playing warhammer so thats no issue just need a base miniture.


The cleric is fairly standard looking but a deva although the paint job can reflect that, meaning a decent amount of flesh to armour would be good. As a final caveat we are in the UK so a UK supplier would be best.


Any advice much appreciated.

Gosh, yes, the new WotC minis are so depressing, aren't they? I still have some unpainted ones from the dawn of 3e and I can't wait to get some paints and start painting them again.


Female or male? Because I'm looking for a similar fig, a male fighter - pref without beard - using a warhammer but no armour (he's a 3.5e multiclass fighter/sorcerer). Elrond - the GW fig I'm using at the moment - just is tooooooo Graham Norton for this gig.


I haven't painted since the early noughties but there are a large range still of third-party unpainted minis - the Warmachine (futuristic)/Horde (fantasy) ones are sold at our FLGS, and they have a good range of non-standard fantasy figures above and beyond the LOTR kind of stuff.

Can't you just paint a bald human purple?

Thanks Reaper Minis was okay found some acceptable models but still looking for alternative sources if anybody can help.


As for painting a human thats the intention, just need the right human model.

Is the Cleric male or female, do they wear armor or not.  Are you wanting the miniature to show more or less flesh?

Some armor, no shield and a good amount of flesh would be preferable. anything wielding a mace type weapon would be best but the player can do conversions and replace a sword if need be. Oh and male

These are some that I could see being used as Devas, with a little repainting or tweaking.  All are available through Reaper Miniatures
