Title: Suggestion for a Mongolian Shaman figure?
Post by: H.M.Stanley on March 14, 2015, 06:58:37 AM

I'm  back on BoB and have just been finishing off some more White troops.

The Whites started off as a single unit option for my Chinese Warlord force, but now appear to developing a life of their own!  :D

As i have The Mad Baron figure (note to self, must pick up the mounted Baron figure too) i thought it only proper for him to have a Mongolian Shaman to, erm, advise [read: introduce random chaos into the game, as per Chris Peers' WI 179 suggestion].

So, ideas for a suitable Mongolian Shaman figure gentlemen?

Thanks,

James

I think that you can do the conversion on the basis of figures Indian shaman (if any - the theme is not mine and I do not know whether there are such).

Thanks Cuprum.

A Buddhist Priest would certainly be easier ... :)

Copplestone makes a pack of Mongol Characters-whenever I need a shaman, I just designate the figure from that pack (the one holding the bird) as the shaman.

A good call but I like the Dixon Shamans now that I've seen them :)

I agree with Cuprum. These Dog Soldiers were done by Copplestone for Foundry:

The Pawnee Killer would do the job but again the Dixon figure is an actual Mongolian Shaman figure  :)

Which figure is this? I can't seem to find any Mongols on the Dixon site at all, let alone a shaman pack.
