[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8569635, member: 4534"] Check out the WizKids line of unpainted miniatures. You'll often find various race/class combos in both male and female varieties. i.e. You'll see pack with two male elf wizards, one representing a low level the other a higher level, and another pack with two female elf wizards. While I like a lot of the monster figures from that range, I personally find most of their PC miniatures to aesthetically displeasing to my eye and no fun to paint. I prefer the Reaper miniatures for PCs. . I think both Reaper and WizKids do a fairly decent job with representing women in their lines. Reaper is a bit more prone to having some cheesecake, but, personally, I'm okay with a little cheesecake as long as I have other options. I want to say this is a WizKids druid but it might be a Warlock. [ATTACH type="full" width="215px"]153181[/ATTACH] I have found this frustrating as well.
