Reaper also has a truckload of miniatures. Here's the results of a quick search for Barbarian:

This guy seems to have a similar vibe, and it looks like his back is completely exposed, so will have a large skin area.

From Enigma, sorry, name escapes me, but the Massive Darkness range.

Oh, and Troll Trader are one of the only UK retailers, and as Cornwall isn't exactly massive, should be easy to get hold of even if you're in Penzance or somewhere.

Cheers guys lots of good ideas. I like the massive darkness guy. Havnt seen the enigma range in the shop so I'll give them a ring and get it brought across from their mail order place.

After I posted that, I saw that they showed 5 in stock, so should be ok to get one.

Could you ask them to reorder Lox Jarg from the same range while you're at it? I wish listed it on their site ages ago, but it always seems sold out.

Only Arcane appear to have any stock in the UK, and all I got when trying to order from them was the need to open a Paypal dispute!
