I've been looking for a miniature of a gnome barbarian for a while. Have you seen any good ones? I played such a character recently, and I was a bit disappointed by the selection of official gnome minis, let alone barbarians. The character in question would enter a rage and have his stereotypical garden gnome clothes shred up in a Shatnerian manner. My mental picture is of a very muscular gnome with a sword too big for a normal gnome.
I absolutely recommend this website! I have several different minis that I have ordered from them and am not disappointed with any of them!
I have not sampled from them myself, but I have also heard good things about Reaper miniatures.
Agreed with both comments. Hero Forge offers a lot and lets you customize sizes along with a decent selection of races and gear. I would say they are the way to go for custom minis for the price you will pay and the different materials DO make it worth it if you are into painting them yourself. Reaper minis are good also my DM has a few from them that he likes to reuse for our campaigns and they are pretty well detailed.
Thanks all. I've been aware of Hero Forge for a while, and they are constantly expanding their already wide array of options. I guess I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to learn how to paint minis or commission a single piece to live out my dreams as a diesel gnome. I'm also still holding out hope that the Stonehaven and Reaper folks will make one for me.
I personally enjoy painting minis, so if you wanted to give that a shot I would definitely second the previous recommendations of Reaper Miniatures or Hero Forge. In addition, Stonehaven Miniatures has a pretty nice collection of more obscure races, including lots of Dwarf and Gnome options (I got the Gnome Artificer for one of my characters), and while I don't think they have any gnome barbarians (or fighters, even? they do a lot of elves and humans), Darksword Miniatures has some pretty cool stuff, and WizKids has an official line of quality, inexpensive unpainted Dungeons & Dragons miniatures of all sorts of races and monsters. They also have several pre-painted options if you'd rather not delve into painting them yourself! Most of these that I know of come in blind boxes from D&D or Pathfinder, but sites like TrollandToad have them individually.
Hopefully this helps, and happy mini hunting!

Hi all,
I've been looking for a miniature of a gnome barbarian for a while. Have you seen any good ones? I played such a character recently, and I was a bit disappointed by the selection of official gnome minis, let alone barbarians. The character in question would enter a rage and have his stereotypical garden gnome clothes shred up in a Shatnerian manner.

Thanks for your help.

That's awesome. One day I'll be a painter. One day.
Maybe a Derro, Ulmo Lightbringer or Dwarf Barbarian miniature.
