So I have been in a shopping mood for minis and have found some cool cheap ($1-$3) heroclix figures that can be re-appropriated for D&D. This is a character called ZZZAX which I think looks remarkably like a fire elemental. I added a deep red wash and yellow highlights and now I have a impressive elemental. On the left is my finished version on a larger base and the right is the original unpainted figure. The unpainted figure is already quite nice. Attachments:

I forgot to add a standard character fig for scale...these elementals are a nice impressive size compared to standard player figs. Attachments:

Check out my videos on reworking some cheap minis. Very well done. I gave it a like. As I said in my comment I would add the shield if you want these to be more like "fighters" but leave the shield off if you want them to be more like cultists. Either way, well done. ;D

Check out my videos on reworking some cheap minis. When I've tried to make minis from FIMO, they looked too cartoony for my taste. I really like how you used the clay just to change the look of an existing mini. Well done.
