[QUOTE="MonkLover, post: 5191442, member: 82105"] I have just come back into the game after a 15 year absence from the gaming table. I am soon going to be playing a dragonborn warlord in a new campaign. I have however noticed that there is an incredible lack of affordable dragonborn minis out on the market. I am also not a big fan of the official D&D prepainted plastic minis. I used to paint minis back in the 80's, and have gone through my collection of RAFM, Ral Partha, and Citadel minis from the late 80's and found nothing suitable to use but the Suaron Paladin mini from Curse of the Azure Bonds in the Forgotten Realms box set produced by Ral Partha ( I miss them), but I have not found anything that suites my vision of my character. After doing a little searching on the net I have found a mini produced by Reaper that could serve my needs with some modifications. However I have not touched a paintbrush to a mini since the early 90's and have never performed any serious conversion work on a mini besides bending the limbs to adjust the figures pose a little. I would like to use the Reaper miniature [URL="http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/03442"][COLOR=#0000ff]03442: Gulark, Reptus Warlord[/COLOR][/URL] as the base. I was thinking about then performing a head swap with a head from either the Reaper 03457: Dragonman Conversion Kit ([URL="http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Dragonman%20Conversion"][COLOR=#810081]Dragonman Conversion[/COLOR][/URL] ) or a dragon head from Hasslefree Miniatures ([URL="http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=1308"]Pack - Dragon Heads[/URL]).
