Hello i'm currently planning on playing a druid tiefling in my next campaign. I've been looking at buying new miniatures also, does anyone know of any good sites that sell miniatures(I live in the UK, but don't mind buying from the US)
I'm not really looking for one's to paint, i don't have the skill for that.
So if you have any recommendations for sites i'd love to hear that or if you've seen a miniatures I've asked for please link it.
Useful information to have:
Gender of character
Armor worn by character
Weapon wielded by character
Any other distinguishing features. For example, many people think of tieflings as with horns, but if your tiefling doesn't have horns, but does have a tail (or fangs or claws or scaly skin or whatever), then the people helping you to look need to know that.
Also, do you explicitly want prepainted miniatures, or are you also okay with unpainted minis, just knowing that you won't paint them?
As for looking places to buy miniatures, I'd start here at the Paizo store. Once you provide more info it'll be easier to offer further recommendations. I mostly only know good sites for unpainted minis myself.
Of course, my tielfing
Is male.
Wearing hide armor.
Will be using a shield and club.
Grey/dark skin(although not bothered with that)
He will also have horns, a tail, hoof's(but not needed) and long hair/beard.
Main thing's im looking for are the horns/tail/long hair.
I would prefer prepainted, but if there is one that is not painted that fit's i'd take a look at it.
I know this is all very specific but if you can find anything along these lines id be very appreciated.
I'd look at Reaper's Hellborn models if you're willing to paint/convert.
I do not believe you will find a pre-painted mini that is even close to your desired specs, and the Hellborn minis aren't close either. The best I can recommend is something like the Tiefling Fighter or Tielfling Blademaster from WotC, but I haven't found anything that hits your high points.
If you're willing to give up the beard and hooves, and can do a simple weapon swap, you could paint this up like a druid:
Pros: simple weapon swap, you can paint the banded mail to look like leather, he's got a giant animal skin for a cape, so that helps the hide armor idea.
This guy comes with several options, including a staff that makes a serviceable club and an arm that could easily be modded to have a shield on it. It'd look a little weird, and he's got the 'leather duster with no shirt' look that is pretty polarizing.
Good luck! There's not a huge variety of tiefling models out there.
Thanks. I didn't find much beyond what Marshall did. There are some prepainted tiefling fighter WotC minis that would probably work but what I could find are OOP, although there might be some for sale on eBay.
I don't have any other major suggestions, but the store I use is the Warstore, which has a lot of lines of minis and great customer service. It is in the US though so you might find a local retailer better for you.
Thanks to both of you I'll give reaper a proper look through and I might give them a go, I could mod the fighter a little.
I'll also take a look at the war store see what they have and if its easy to get them shipped here.

In the UK, off the top of my head you have:
Non prepainted:

Oh Hasslefree has some neat looking stuff.

Games Workshop Ungor models let you build something pretty close to what you want, but you won't likely find them prepainted or assembled. You could check your FLGS to see if anyone has any single, painted Ungors for sale or if anyone would do some affordable modeling for you.

There is a guy in canada selling some not very well painted ungors:

Thank's for all the help everyone i'm checking all these out now, a lot more places than i thought there was to buy mini's.
His horns are from being a teifling but to hide this fact at the start i'll be RP'ing that he will be wearing hide from an animal yes.
Heroforge lets you custom build your miniature right down to equipment and pose, it has all the options you need to create a character of any core race from Pathfinder oder 5e DnD.
Unfortunately the mini will come unpainted.
There is a prepainted tiefling warlock from Dungeons and Dragons miniatures that might work for you, especially the promo repaint. It has a mace in its hand and it's wearing a leather armor (which is brown in the promo version, grey in the original). Several US-based ebay-sellers have the miniature on offer. It is definitely the closest to your description that I could find. His off-hand is even in a great position to add a shield, if you wanted to do that.
Pathfinder's Faxon might also do the trick after some customization.
