[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8258951, member: 4534"] My other gaming related hobby is painting miniatures and I try to incorporate them into my games when possible. What typically happens is that I have an idea in mind and I go out in search of a miniature that comes as close to matching it as possible. But once in a while I come across a weird miniature that just screams, "Paint me like one of your French ladies!" Uh, I mean, it screams, "I should be a character in one of your games!" So what miniature did you see and immediately think to yourself that you must use it in a game? If so, post a picture of it if you can and tell us about the character it inspired. It doesn't have to be a miniature you actually own, you can be inspired by something you didn't buy, nor does it have to be a miniature you yourself painted. Do try to give credit to any painters out there though and tell us the name of the miniature and the company so we can buy it. This lovely miniature below is Avatar of Strength (Elephant) made by Reaper for their Dark Bones line of miniatures. When I walked into the game store I didn't know I was going to buy a weird elephant man thing but when I saw it I knew I wasn't walking away without it. I'm of two minds on how I want to use this miniature. Conan: I'm thinking of making this an avatar of some Kushite god the PCs have to defeat. It's just bizarre enough to look like something from a pulp magazine story. D&D: I kind of what to make this a Bard whose instrument of choice is a trumpet.
