So I've got a build in mind, but I've found it quite difficult to find the right miniature for him. So I look to the pros on this board:
My character is a divine archer paladin of Aasimar race (a human mini will do, even an elf, as long as he's not too skinny; I can sand off the ears). Oh and if at all possible: short hair. I've seen some perfect female archers, but a huge lack of male archer minis. I'd like something more on the lines of a Tower Guard, where's he got some armor, and less hood action. But if you've found one that might fit that description, I'm willing to take a look. I've seen so many miniatures sites my eyes are about to bug out.
This is the first thing that comes to mind. A little pricey for miniatures, but the quality is top notch.
Hope that helps . . .

Oh man... this guy, while a bit more ranger...esque (dangeresque? too?)), he has a certain flavor that if painted right could totally fit a pali. And he's a few bucks cheaper too. Decisions, decisions. I'm still open to other options if someone finds one.

More rangeresque here, but paladins with bows are hard to find.
One more, but more hood.
There is this old code going way back in the D&D world, that Paladins didn't use bows. That they preferred to be face to face with their enemies rather than attack from a distance. Silly Paladins!!!

One of the many, many reasons I never played a paladin in the old D&D world...

Well, in case the OP is still looking:
Male elf plate armored with bow - His hair's pretty short and you could even file down the loose strands to make it even shorter.
Human male short hair bow - The sample model is painted to look less armored, but it looks to me that the way it is sculpted, you could definitely paint him to look more heavily armored. I don't know if you'd want that sword there at all, but it almost looks like it'd come separate, or you could saw it off and smooth out the underside.
Human male armored with bow - his hair isn't very short, but it isn't super long either.
If you don't mind conversion work:
Armored short-haired human holy warrior. You could probably carefully clip off the mace and glue a bow into one of the hands pretty easily--maybe even bend the other arm a little and put an arrow in it.
Short haired paladin/cleric. Again, carefully clip off the sword, drill a hole in the fist and then very carefully prise the hand open, bend the arm, put bow in the sword hand instead.

DQ, Thanks so much for your contributions. These two I hadn't considered before. Adding those as contenders. I'll have to lay the images together and figure out which one looks the best. Thank you for digging.

I actually own this mini, as he was going to be an alternative mini for my cleric. I at least used the backpack he came with, but stuck it on the cleric I chose :)
