So I've got a character I like enough to want a mini for. Thing is, I know I'll never find exactly what I want. Fortunately, I know my way around a jeweler's saw and some greenstuff, so I can modify.
Character is a tiefling ninja that uses claws for his main attack (no weapons).
So what I'm looking for is a male humanoid wearing something like Edward Scissorhands' belted leather. Or anything with lots of armor detail that isn't obviously full plate.
Something with large clawed hands, or at least open hands that I can resculpt into claws.
Something with an uncovered male head I can put horns on convincingly, or even a nice tiefling head that isn't an impossible to remove mass of hair.
Now obviously it would be nice to find something like a drow in fancy leather I could just swap hands on and sculpt some horns, but I can mix and match as needed.
Been looking on my own but haven't found anything good yet. Thought with everybody here with countless minis in their collections, maybe somebody has something close they could point me towards.
Pewter or plastic or vinyl, doesn't matter as long as it's to standard scale. I can Frankenstein it all together.
Anyone with any ideas? I think I'm going crossed flipping through Reaper's entire catalog...
Wizkids have several tiefling figures in prepainted plastic (no full plate armor), get one of those, then take hands off a medium monster. Werewolf?? or somthing
Hero forge does custom minis but it aint cheap.

Thats an idea.
Currently I've ordered these off of ebay for parts:

Werewolf

The blademaster there is kind of hard to see in any pictures of him straight up that I could find, but here's a page of somebody that used him for a tiefling conversion that really shows off the sculpt of the armor.
