I have purchased these packs from my FLGS for familiar proxies.
They are cheap and well made.
I am yet to find a set for the geomancer's stones, etc.
Thoughts?
Proxies for Familiars.
Is that Mata and Kata I see on the right? =P

Check you back yard. I hear they come pre-painted!
I use counter beads for summon stones, falcon from pathfinder reign of winter (also use the raven from the same set), timber wolf, skeleton, spectre, a badger, and a lizard from the D&D line up I can get you the set names and provide pics. Seems a lot of people like to use unpainted models though.
Edited by Sam PraterI'm not really a fan of reaper bones beacuse of their quality. I know they are much cheaper but I prefer to pay a little bit more and get the ones from Dark Heaven Legends (reaper) which much better quality (and metal).

He could, but the sculpt on them is terrible!
Haha I do that:) I use just normal rocks for geo stones.

That's the one I use for reanimate.

thoses ones are less "epic", more like a reanimate to my opinion
Here's my painted version of the same Reaper model for the Reanimate:

Newly-painted door standee replacements (I'll take door #3, Ulma):
I found these in the Ral Partha bulk pewter bin at Gen Con. I wish I could have found more.
Edited by keschnellPainted Raven familiar proxy (From Manor of Ravens):
Great Raven proxy! Wher did you get it?
You can get it at Reaper's site (it's pewter and not plastic). I'm sure there are other vendors who sell it too. You'll see more details in this photo. My photo didn't turn out that great. I glued it to a standard round base for more uniformity and stability.

Edited by keschnellAre these other minis to scale? I have the Skeleton warrior the OP listed and it is noticably larger than the hero figures.
I would say that the only one that a bit too large is the Reanimate from the original post. It's definitely larger than the heroes (all the Reaper bones are a bit larger, but not awfully so), but workable for me (I just like the sculpt, especially once painted). I have used this also for the Reanimate, and it's more to scale if you're okay with it being a former archer:

I think the wolf and summoned stones that I posted are fine to scale. The raven is taller than the heroes, but it's a lot of ravens in a flock, so I think it's appropriate too. I like the Otherworld skeleton minis that were posted and the other skeletons posted are less 'epic' and probably a bit smaller since they aren't wearing large armor. I also have the wolf in the familiar pack in the original post and thought it was too small. It reminded me more of a dog. The D&D timber wolf I posted worked better for me size-wise.
Edited by keschnellI recently sculpted these organic shapes from Milliput to use as geomancer summoned stone proxies. Because all of the other proxies I use are white, I may get some Milliput Superfine White and do them again, and sculpt in the "face" lines from the summoned stone art. I kind of like how these turned out though.
Here are my updated familiar proxies.
Reanimate - Reaper Bones Skeleton Warrior
Wolf - Reaper Bones Animal Companion
Skye - Reaper Bones Animal Companion
Pico - Reaper Bones Familiar
Summoned Stones - Hand Sculpted Milliput
The Shadow Soul does not need a proxy. Need to get one for the Raven Flock. Not sure what I will use for Brightblaze.
Cheers.
Reaper minis. Nice choice!
great choice, maybe I will get some, if envoice fee are not to much to France ...
but I can't see why FFG don't to it themselves, because since bilehall, there will not be more classes nor heroes, so no more familiars.

But Neither pico nor skye need a proxy. they can occupy same space with other figures and pico is never even on board. right?
I use Zombicide black plague's Wulfburgs wolves for wolf proxies. Here you can seem them in basic black acrylic "wiped off" paint technique.
