Looking for a suitable N'Longa model (african shaman)

I've based my Daemonhunter inquisitor on Solomon Kane and now need to find a suitable model for N'Longa. I don't play fantasy at all so really have no idea what's out there in the range that will suit. I want a model armed with a staff preferably without armour and with an african tribal look (furs, feathers, pelts whatever). Any ideas would help and at least give me a small range to choose from.

The good news is that there are a LOT to choose from here.
The bad news is that they'll probably be undersized (likely 25mm scale) and they don't sell individuals from this range, AFAIK:

Try copplestone castings,sold in the US by RLBPS.To see pics you have to go to the Copplestone site.They also don't sell individual figs but the price of 6 of them is about what you pay for a GW character anyway.I have some of their stuff and the things I have are big,like 30mm,so they should fit with the GW.

Hey I just thought of something else.This is for 40k right ? How about a savage orc shaman?They make some pretty cool ones.

I don't know the stories... but I doubt N'Longa is an Ork. LOL

Yeah well I don't think Solomon Kane is a inquisitor daemon hunter either
It's been a long time since I read the Howard books so I may be wrong.We are talking about the R.E. Howard guy right? Oh and oaflord

Oh Snap!
Oaf... Yer still a flippin' idiot. Some things just don't change.
(Is that "Oh, Snap" -able?)
Fitter... please, don't take either of us too seriously. I was being serious, though playful about it. As for Oaf... Well, see my comment to him above.

Solomon Kane was a witch hunter. Too late for the historical Inquisition, but certainly a viable 40k inquisitor character template.

Shirokoma agreed ,though I remember him having the whole thing more thrust upon him by circumstances than actually volunteering for it.But as I said agreed he is a perfect template for a inquisitor.What was N'longa?

Hope this makes up for my attempted humour... A quick peek on the WWW gave me this...
Kane on the left, N'Longa on the right... I see Kane in Inquisitor for sure, but as far as the shaman goes, this is as far as I got... not sure if the scale is right though...
Anyone know what the scale is on these guys?

Oaf those are the copplestone castings guys,they are a large 28mm.Some of his stuff is close to 30mm,so compatible with GW.

Well. Um. Maybe. I dunno.
Actually, I think that the Savage Ork Shaman would be perfect.
That's just me.
