Great mini with some flaws

Paul Duggan — May 10, 2011, 12:12 PM

The quality of the sculpting here is really fine, but some things about this mini bother me enough that I wanted to review it as only average.

1) the pose. Its a perfect reflection of the original illustration, but it suffers a lot if you want to, say, make a unit of these fighters to use in a game. They all stand there with their shield held loosely in hand?

2) the armor became unbelievable in transition to mini form. The illustration has a bit of this issue where the metal thigh armor seems skin tight, but the way the miniature accentuates this and misaligns the way the legs intersect with the groin looks incredibly uncomfortable as any kind of actual armor.

I'd like to see a resculpt of this in a more dynamic pose. I hope Paizo won't be quite so tied to mimicing original art as compared to how a player (or GM) would want the piece to appear on a battlemat.
