MasterDisaster Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi I've been keenly keeping an eye on Kaeris' updates each week in the wave 2 beta as I liked her crews models since I first laid eyes on them. I'm now seriously considering buying them but I am having trouble finding a suitable model to use as The Firestarter until there is word of the new Masters getting plastics. I've managed to find a nice Fire Elemental model which will be used as the Eternal Flame however for The Firestarter I'm truly stumped! Does anybody have any ideas on where I can get my hands on something suitable? My skills with modelling putty and greenstuff are non-existent so something which literally needs building, basing and painting would be ideal!

i_was_like_you Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Depends on what you're envisioning it to look like. Reaper probably has something appropriate. Helldorado's fire ifrit might also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Reaper's medium fire elemental could make a pretty good firestarter: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Bones%20fire/latest/77083 Side note - there's a near perfect Eternal Flame available from them as well: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Bones%20familiars/latest/77196 And most importantly, perfect Pyre markers: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/bones%20fire/latest/77080 http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/bones%20fire/latest/77081 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rythos42 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 To be perfectly honest...whenever I read the Firestarter card, I think of a Fireman gone horribly wrong. With the brownish/greyish fire retardant coat and hard hat, but on fire, with a hose that spits out fire. ...I can't find a model for that, with a 30 second GImage search. Also, be warned about searching for "fireman model". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDisaster Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Thanks for your input guys! Some great suggestions all round. I found one image yesterday that struck me and a big winner only to find out that the model isn't available yet as far as I'm aware. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loudnraging/raging-heroes-the-toughest-girls-of-the-galaxy/posts Half way down if a model called Yoko the Psyko, Pyromaniac. Imagine a Jailbird type with a HUGE flame thrower who looks awesome for a proxy! Keep the ideas coming though please the more ideas I can come up with the better! EDIT Just came across these guys... What do you guys think? http://www.taban-miniatures.com/shop2/popup_add_image.php?pID=598 http://www.taban-miniatures.com/shop2/popup_add_image.php?pID=467 They lack something to represent the flying but they seem like madmen looking to burn everything they can! EDIT 2 http://elementgames.co.uk/wargames-and-miniatures/fantasy-miniatures-games/bushido/hotaru Also just found another model that kind of works, thoughts?

rythos42 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yoko is too pretty, as is Hotaru (for me). I like the fat dude with the flaming rope, but he doesn't look quite crazy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 How about one of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 How about one of these: I love'em! I did check out the Helldorado line of models for a suitable proxy but I must have overlooked these guys. They both look pretty BA. Back to google for me, I think you may have found me my proxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
