Looking for renaissance astronomer and magician

[fastolfrus]

Trent do a set of Russian Boyars (and a Tartar hetman) based on Bilibin illustrations. Six figures for only £7.50 from North Star.
One or two of them might be suitable, but perhaps a bit static in pose (but cheaper for 6 than a current GW single)

Crusader do a set of "Adventurers III - Rune Lords", again through Northstar. Four figures for only £7.50
They have a couple of reasonable types

Or how about Lead Adventure Miniatures? They have some glorious Renaissance figures

There are a few pieces in the Bruegelburg range that I would have thought would fit the bill nicely: http://www.lead-adventure.com/index.php?cPath=22&osCsid=c03f224124b00d82b3ceb466bf9a4c88

And there's also this nice c16th bishop that I think would make for a fairly simple conversion:

Try Stuff of Legend and then Ebay citadel produced loads of clerics and wizards in the 1980s and 90s .

Also http://blackchapelminiatures.com/en/altreich/40-alchemist.html

Ral Partha europe and other role playing and D&D ranges normally have robed figures which may be suitable.

Good hunting

The GW one is easy to customize as he is made of seperate parts:

I made a pope from mine:)

Thanks for the tips everyone! Some pretty brilliant sculpts and a couple of companies I hadn't heard of before

Somehow I'd completely forgotten about the Bruegelburg range. I have plenty of the VSF stuff and loved the style they have. Gotta order me some Bruegelburgers as well. Definitely could use a few of those.

And thanks to WillieB! Got a Mercator from him.

I have the third one in my post (furry hat and spyglass) if you're interested. Non-ridiculous price, unpainted and in Helsinki

I might have to take you on that offer then

Ex-cel-lent!

I've never seen a Pope on a wargame table!

Do you plan to make a whole unit of them? 

[traveller]

It will be a Pope Platoon!

No he will be used for the Sack of Rome 1527
