Female Gnome Sorceress

The wife and I, have recently rediscovered D&D and have begun to play with our small gaming group.  I am interested in purchasing a Female Gnome Sorceress and have it painted to her specks.  We have found out, to our sadness, that their are few if not limited mini of the female sorc gnome out their.  We found one, which is close to what she wanted, but it was not painted anywhere near what she wanted and it had a spell book with it.  I am wondering, if you guys can modify and paint a mini for D&D, so we can use it on our 1 inch square battlemaps and etc...  basically the same size mini, that you would buy at the local store, which comes 8 in a box, and they are rubber, i think..   Now I know, that rubber is out of the question and not desired, but I am not sure, what you guys can do and what would it cost me.  I would be willing to call whoever I needed to call and discuss what I am wanting and you can tell me, what it would cost to do it...  Please advise.  sorry, if i posted this request in the wrong area.....

You might want to let people know what your wife's specifications are (and which miniature from which company wasn't quite right).

I'm sure Custom Hobby himself will be in touch shortly, and if he can't help himself, he'll be able to point you towards someone who will  :icon_wink:

So, apart from a gnome sorceress, what are the other specifications for this figure?
:hal:

Do you have a picture of the figure in question? If you want it converted then I can help with that. What exactly do you want it to be in the end? Some of us may know of miniature lines you have not found yet.

Reaper Miniatures makes a female gnome sorceress.  I don't know if this works but I thought it your discription pretty well:

Long term exposure to the Orb of Confusion will give you...er.. confusion!

Well, it would seem, someone else, has found the same pic, that we found.  That is the one, that was anything close to what she wanted for her Gnome Sorceress.  Like I said, I would be willing to call anyone, to discuss what we want and price.  As you can see, the staff is to large for my wife's taste, she wanted a walking can or stick.  Also, the book, was not what my wife wanted.   Plus, if possiable somehow get a Pseudo dragon on the base as well, but thats not required.  I think DnD did make a psueduo dragon one, recently in their box sets.  As for the colors, well, that would take awhile for me to type, it would be better to just chat.  Also,  their were some other shots of that gnome, that had a square base and nice detail within the bottom as well.

Edit: removed double post :tip-hat:

Also, she wants a more revealing sexual\sensual gnome, if possiable.  Her character name is Daisybell something frak bushmeadows, if that gives you an idea of her character and the way she is playing her..hahaha

I know this is listed as a female dwarf but maybe it could be used as a gnome. A walking cane could be added to the back hand i would think.

I that would work but I think that she was a fig with more revealing clothing something like the below.  I know this isn't a gnome but I want to see if this is more like it:

for the dragon, GamesWorkshop makes something like a pet one for the arm, easily modified for the base or tree or whatever:

That's a good idea, although she may be a bit tall. With the back hand a quick addition of some putty-work for the stick and that front hand is begging for a familiar for the wrist. And speaking of that, hit the Reaper page again and search for "familiar". A few of the familiar packs have small dragons in them that may well suit.

Try this lady in waiting. I know it says 25mm human but she's actualy about the same size as the Hasslefree dwarfs.

Speaking of which....

Quoteshe wants a more revealing sexual\sensual gnome

Try this or this (some convertion required), or even this (heavy convertion required to remove the guns).

Not necessarily revealing but certainly small enough, gotta love the witch's hat.

I can't think of any others right now but I'm sure I've seen them out there.

sorry about the mulitple posts, my skills with computers are not that advanced...heh..    Now my question is, what do you mean by conversion services?

Custom_Hobby

Don't worry about the posts. Conversion is when you take a miniature that is close to what you want, then remove parts that you dont and add or sculpt the right ones back on. After that you are free to paint it up as what you had in mind.
