Yo,
I'm about to start GMing Skull & Shackles, one of my players made a Gillmen Rogue with the eldritch raider archetype from ARG but he can find ANY gillmen minis anywhere online. I had thought maybe Reaper had one but I was mistaken, at least nothing in their Pathfinder Miniatures lines (and I haven't looked through the Pathfinder Minis plastic singles available yet but will after posting here).
Does anyone have a link or an idea for a good Gillmen mini for my player?
I was under the impression that gillmen look identical to humans, save for some neck gills. Doesn't that keep your options really broad?
What Sean FitzSimon said. What I'd do is get a Micron pen and after you paint the figure, just draw some lines along the neck to represent gills.

Yeah, Gillmen can easily walk among humans without being noticed unless their gills are exposed. That said, I'd either look for a human with an exposed neck so you can draw in some gill lines or go with something like this guy.
That rogue mini's got a few nice things going for him. For one, his feet are bare and that gives him the look of somebody who spends time in the water. He's also equipped with a crossbow and knife, weapons more commonly associated with underwater combat than swords and bows, and he's only wearing a lightweight, streamlined leather vest and capri pants so he isn't weighed down by a lot of extraneous gear. He's got the look of a swimmer. The other nice thing about him is the bandana around his neck. Maybe he's using it to hide his gills?
I'd look for minis like this guy if I wanted to emphasize the amphibious nature of a gillman PC. Stay away from cloaks and heavy swords that would be difficult to use while submerged.

This guy has an exposed neck for drawing gills on, but has a cloak and boots.
Thanks for your help guys! This community rocks.
Velcro Zipper, that mini was exactly what I was thinking of as it could totally be a gillmen without any extraneous drawing or added features. I understand you could just put gills on any human neck but was looking for something more like this.
I'll email these links and suggestions to my player (he doesn't follow the forums like me). If anyone else thinks of anything, please don't hesitate to post ideas/links. :-)
