Need a mini - fantasy cleric for conversion

I\'m trying to get through a minor custom conversion for a friend and I\'m not happy with the base mini I found for it. I\'ve had horrible luck finding:

Slim build
Chain mail shirt
flanged mace - 1h
no facial hair
dreadlocks
no helmet
no shield

I managed to sculpt the dreads thanks to forum feedback (the sandpaper and a couple jabs with a pin worked wonders!) -- but I\'m still not satisfied with the base mini.

The current piece is in the WIP V thread -- but if anyone can recommend a decent mini for me to start over with I\'d really appreciate it.

Well I\'ve done a quick look and I haven\'t found anything yet... Does it have to be purely chainmail or could there be some plate armor too? Oh and human male right? I\'ll keep looking though.

*edit*
What about this guy? You could probably remove the shield, or replace the arm.

That\'s not bad, actually.

Here\'s what I have now - roughly 50% complete. This one also has a good deal of plate, which is something I\'d rather avoid. I can always sculpt/file some of it though - which I\'m going back to do on the current WIP.

The mini above is a Reaper mini - but the mini needs to be male. I actually went through a wall of Reaper minis (and GW, and, and, and...) for about an hour before I settled on this one.

Hmm - was on reapers site the other day and they have a new three pack of clerical types - no armor at all on them.

I had used the fantasy fig finder to try to find one for you but came up with nothing that really worked. Lots had helms. I was also doing a pretty specific search so that really cuts down the numbers. I also went through the reaper mini gallery 2000s-3000s... and the classic and current empire, brettonia and dogs of war ranges by GW... lol Too much free time.

The GW Empire priests has one of the three random blisters that comes very, very close. I could even get away with the bulk of the figure, but...

Which one? I had looked at them, and was going to suggest the one who had the two handed hammer, but he has the breast plate as well.

How about something like a barbarian - it wouldn\'t be too difficult to sculpt the chainmail over a bare torso, etc?

Can\'t offer TOO much help I\'m afraid as I\'m more 40k :p
