Summoner = Mini painters favorite class

Maybe the biggest reason I love the summoner class, I get to mix painting minis with a bit of role playing. My latest Eidolon painted with three sizes and 2 poses :D

Summoner Minis

I love those Hordes minis for eidolons.

Funny I to enjoy using the Hordes Everblight guys, I used the Teraph & then evo to Carnivean to Scythean with my Half elf, with my dwarf I used a pyre troll then evo to Mulg and painted him like volcano. I like your work. Hey do you have any ideas for a flying eidolon like the orange terrasaur from avatar.

Shadow Lodge

Thanks!

I like the Pyre Troll, got a massive number of trollkin when I bought a big lot and that was a favorite. I hadn't considered using it for an eidolon though. Mulg looks cool.

Not really familiar with Avatar, I've seen the movie but that's it.

There is an everblight serpent with 4 wings that would probably work for you. Wouldn't be hard to add some legs to it. It's one of my favorite models. I think it's called a Seraphym or something like that.

Thats a really great idea, I took a look at it it would work, now I just have to find a head that would fit, Thanks

The head is on the same piece as the body so have fun there! That beast really needs some pinning work if you plan on keeping it together for more than 15 minutes.

Those are gorgeous, Ogre. Very simple but elegant. Love those Hordes minis too.

I just saw these the other day at Reaper and realized they'd be great for customizing eidolons:

Creature Component Packs

Fairy Wing pack

Demonic Wings

Angelic wings

Dragonman kit

(I'm sure these are all available at the Paizo store here too.)

Shadow Lodge

Wow, great find!

I have some extra small versions of my eidolon, I might just pick up a pair of wings and customize one of them. I don't know about you guys but I hang onto the extra bits I get forever. I don't have any extra wings but lots of little skulls and oddball bits.

Warhammer models are always nice for getting extra bits on the sprue. I love Warmachine casts but sometimes I miss the fiddly bits.

Yeah warhammer does tend to give you the bells and whistles (and extra arms legs, drums, swords...)

You'll laugh, but I sometimes buy minis just to make them into bits for future minis I'll paint. I do like buying sprues of arms, legs ,heads,& horns from GW. I also buy bits from Priv Press but there online catalog hasnt been updated in a long,long time

I don't deliberately do this but I have bought mini kits and split them.

Privateer press stuff is a bit pricey to be buying extra to part out. Though I do have some unpainted... hmm.

Yeah! Privateer Press is way over priced, but I use ebay & remain patient while looking for deals. I find people dumping there armies or figs they dont use,I bought Mulg for 39.95 hes a 60.00 mini,great deal just got to keep looking. And yes I have split & hacked many of my unused guys. Oh I did find a cool avatar bird monster, The nazgul king on the fellbeast I just have to green stuff horns on head & add smaller rear wings, but I havent found anyone selling him

Shadow Lodge

Yeah, love the Priv Press molds but I can't pay retail. Between Paypal and the occassional sale (I found a nice deal here on Paizo once) I generally pay between 25%-60% of cover. My trolls I picked up an army and parted it out to friends. I wound up paying $30 for about 20 figures including two Dire Troll maulers.

As far as eBay goes I bid low on lots that look unpopular and don't worry if I miss out.

When I first read about eidolons I thought of this from Zelda.

Totally unintended but as far as puns go it is a good one.
