About, lhalf a year ago I stumbled upon a figure on the internet, a figure that for the life of me, I cant seem to find again!!
And that's a real shame because it would fit absolutely perfectly in the concept I have!

From what I can remember it was called something like 'the Chess King' or 'the Chess Man' or 'The Game Master' or 'the Game King' but that could be wrong...

It looked a little like the Dr. Who clockwork men:


I believe he was dressed like a king and was decorated with all manner of Hearts, Clubs, Spaces, Dice and Chess symbols...

Any help in finding this figure would be amazingly appreciated, thank you all in advance!!

Eldar harlequins fit the bill.

Some of the Freebooters Fate miniatures from the Brotherhood range aren't a million miles away from that.

These ones seem to be the closest matches:-

I think the mini you are talking about is the one Col Hammer used as the basis for his Daemonhost conversion:



I can't recall where the base miniature is from though.

I think thats a TK model.

Could be wrong.

Looking at those two, I think you are right Medium, which means it isn't the model I was thinking of. It's just got a very similar pose.

I can't for the life of me find the mini I was thinking of. I could swear it was a Reaper miniature, but I'm not seeing it on their site.

This second guy was part of a chess inspired set...

The mini you are describing is really familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it, either. I don't think either of the two I posted are what I am thinking of. I think it may have been posted here on Dakka... now this is going to bug me!

Now you've got me thinking. I'm sure I've seen a mini like the one you describe, but I haven't the foggiest notion of where.

Clockworks! I don't believe that there is an actual model, so just convert the Harlequin Troupe Master.

Found this Harlie, but I'm still thinking of something different.



Also, just googling "harlequin" gave some really creepy photos of a birth defect that I am going to need to look up now, as well...
