Alain is one of my favorite minis, and it's not just because he's a Cavalier.
But rather because of the amount of detail and thought put into this mini.
Granted the swordhand is a little tricky but that aside, this is an amazing mini!
I own two so far and intend to buy another one!
That's how highly I think of this mini.
I ordered this mini due to my love for the Cavalier class along with the iconic character Alain, and it had just arrived today! The overall sculpt and amount of detail that was put into this figure is simply astounding and I am thankful that I ordered it, even though I had some difficulty trying to find a good position for the sword hand, given that the arm on the mini itself came to an almost 'point' and the back of the hand itself was flat.
Looks cool, I don't even use mini's and I am still buying these things. I think I need help.
They just need to put together a full box set of all 18 Iconics so we can get our fix. (Well, 20, if you count Droogami and the apparently missing Padrig)
Did anyone else have a real hard time getting this to fit into the slot of its base? I got it in, but I was afraid I was going to break something while doing it. Fortunately I didn't break anything.

I haven't opened one, but in general, if your mini isn't playing nicely with your base, you can either shave some metal off the figure stem, or shave some plastic off the slot in the base. (An X-ACTO knife would work fine for either.)
Yeah, I guess I have been kind of lucky and have only had to deal with the opposite problem. The good news is it is in nice and tight, so I won't be having a problem with a loose base.
As a question, are there any plans to release a mounted variant of Alain and or his horse? I would be the first in line to get ahold of it, as in the current campaign I play in i'm often trying to get the most out of my mounted abilities.

As far as I know, Reaper doesn't have any current plans for that.

Really hope that someone will make the suggestion for it, that or for more monster types like Orcs and Gnolls.
I bought this fine fellow and the rest of the iconics from Ultimate Combat and the APG because I need them for PFS.
I GM regularly and decided I needed to have a painted mini for any pregen characters I have to hand out to new players. Not having a mounted version reduces the utility of this character, at least for me.
