I have some monsters I created for a homebrew campaign starting up in a couple months.  I don't have a lot of minis, and am trying to figure out what minis to get that would most closely represent some of these monsters.  Any suggestions?  Here are descriptions of the monsters:

Wendigo: (large monstrous humanoid)

With a hiss mimicking the desolate howling of arctic wind, the large humanoid towers over you; gaunt to the point of emaciation, its desiccated skin pulled tautly over its emaciated frame. With its bones pushing out against its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into their sockets, the creature looks like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. What lips it had are tattered and bloody. ÂUnclean and suffering from suppurations of the flesh, it gives off a strange and eerie odor of decay and decomposition, of death and corruption.

Necromand: (medium undead)

A slender robed, hooded figure silently slides toward you at a rapid pace.ÂIt is a solid form, yet appears to blend easily into and out of the shadows as it glides across the floor.ÂBeneath the shadowy hood of its cloak lies an ashen grey face devoid of emotion; the mouth is crudely stitched shut and a pair of hollow eye sockets stare blankly at you.

Pelegan: (large monstrous humanoid)

The pelegan are an amphibious race distantly related to lizardfolk.ÂDespite their large size and reptilian appearance, pelegan are not naturally hostile.ÂMany are, in fact, playful by nature.Â

Lizardine: (huge magical beast)

Lizardines are huge, reptilian monstrosities.ÂSome experts believe them to be a bizarre mutation of shocker lizards.ÂA lizardine has grey-blue skin and an extremely long and dexterous tail; the end of which is razor-sharp bone.ÂLizardines are voracious predators; preying on anything smaller than themselves.

Barons of Bane: (medium outsider)

This tall, robed humanoid’s face is hooded, although a pair of glowing, snakelike eyes stares out at you from deep within the shadows of its face.ÂA pair of huge bat-like wings extends from its back.


Last but not least, remember the big mutant gargoyle from tomb of horrors? He's making an appearance too. (12 feet tall, four arms, wings, and horns)

These aren't very close, but they are all I could think of:

Wendigo: The Ravenous Ghoul seem to fit for this description, although he is on a medium base. From what I have heard, though, it is a large medium, so it might work.

Necromand: I would choose the Skeletal Reaper, although the Blood of Vol Cultist might work too.

Pelegan: Blackscale Lizardfolk?

Lizardine: The lack of very many huge minis severely restricts options for this one, but I would probably use the Behir for this one.

Barons of Bane: Can't think of an acceptable proxy.

Big Mutant Gargoyle: Horned Devil?

I like using the horned devil as the large gargoyle. For the Barons of Bane, try using Lady Vol...dunno about the headdress, but she's medium, kinda robed, and has wings.

Vol seems like the right one for the Banite...

HC Wendigo isn't a bad idea... Wereboar would be another option.
