Title: Need help finding a necromancer/evil wizard
Post by: Justin Buck on February 06, 2016, 09:42:20 AM
As the title says.  I'm looking for a necromancer or evil wizard figure in 28mm.  I plan on using the wizard as the leader of a group of skeletons and cultists.  I don't want him, or her, covered in skulls, but looking gaunt/skeletal like.  My google fu isn't working.  Any help would be great.

There are some really subtle, not covered in skulls/crazy accessories from the Dark Eye / Das Schwarze Auge range from Ral Partha Europe. They've finally started taking decent photos of them. Slightly small against WHFB for example, so bear that in mind. I actually prefer it for lower level mages and characters.

As usual, Reaper is a good resource if you search their online store for mage or necromancer. Of course, every second one is covered in bling so not as useful :D

Best skeletal wizard made ever. I'm tempted to paint it light blue and purple :D

Go look at the Frostgrave wizard packs. The Lich Wizard and the Necromancer packs should be just what your looking for:

Darn, I was going to give you the number of the scary guy down the street....he could use some business. I'm pretty sure he would have had the skills you needed.

I like the simplicity and character of this guy. Quite tall though. I am painting him up for frostgrave (eventually).

Thought the casting seems to be missing a right thumb, and is even shown missing in the pic on the site. Bit of green stuff though...

I really like this one from Reaper. He comes in Bones so is very cheap too.

Jos Gebblar is my favorite Necromancer from Reaper:

I've liked Mantic's Mhorgoth the Faceless.

Thank you all for your responses.   
Zoggin-eck: I didn't see any necromancers that I wanted, but I did see some other figures that have made it onto the wish list.
beefcake: I really like that guy.  I forgot all about Heresy Miniatures.
Gabbi: He takes "skeletal" to a whole new level.  I have that figure floating around here and was also planing a light blue and purple scheme for him too.  :)
Digitarii: I think that Lich might be the one, not too keen on his apprentice tho  :?  This might work out since I still need to order a box of Cultists too.
KGatch113: Haha, you can keep that number  :) I have enough of them in my neighborhood!
ShortscaleDave: There are only a few figures I like from WestWind.  Their figures look like something is missing but you can't put your finger on it (or thumb  lol)
Bartman: When I get some free time, I'm going to have to go through the Reaper site with a fine tooth comb.  Too many figure to just casually peruse through.
DeafNala: I like him, ha has been put on the list that never ends  :D
Sotf: Mhorgoth looks like he means some serious business!

Thanks again.  I need to do some convincing to the boss why I need to add more to the twin mountains....

What about this Reaper fig? Replace the bow with a staff, perhaps?

From the sound of it you are looking for this little fella here:

http://www.coolminiornot.com/127144

Necromancer, by a company called Tins Bits. Sadly it is out of production, but I know where to get one.
So if you want it just drop me a private message.


So long!

Matthias the Twisted by Reaper Miniatures (not mine, I can't paint that well!)

(http://miniature-heroes.co.uk/images/2867a.jpg)

I have the figure and have my own painted up...he's wonderful.  I'm using him as a Nosferatu-esque Vampire but he'll serve double duty as a Necromancer.

Another Reaper fig: Bledsoe, evil cleric.
