I'm trying to find an appropriate miniature to use for a character in a game I am playing in. The only problem is, there don't seem to be many fat guys in the miniature world.
The character in question is a grossly obese male human, preferably wearing chainmail. Any weapon or shield would work, equipment is subject to change with him. But for roleplaying purposes and based off of his stats (Moderate constitution, fairly high HP and Str, very low dexterity) I chose to make him a tub of lard.
If anyone out there could point me in the proper direction to find such a miniature, I would be grateful. Plastic, metal, painted or unpainted, doesn't really matter. I'm not horrible at painting them, but my ability to modify a miniature to that extent is sorely lacking.

I haven't got a specific miniature in mind, but have you checked out the Reaper Miniatures website? They have pictures up of just about every miniature they sell and some are even professionally painted. I'm sure there must be at least one obese guy on there, though whether or not he wears chainmail is another matter.

There's not a way, that I can find, to edit the title of a thread. That was what caught my attention more than anything else.

I'm a big fan of the Reaper lines of miniatures, slowly making my way through their selection. As of yet, still no luck finding an appropriate figure, though I have found several that are must buys for me. They have some impressively sculpted figs.
