This was a much better mini than i expected. There is some really nice detail in the backpack and numerous pouches he has, but also layering in the clothing and armour. The hands were a bit disproportionate, as another reviewer has already indicated. That said, I really like this sculpt.
I bought this figure for the sole purpose of using as a character I am now playing. The sword comes unattached and I left it off as it looks better without it. Sword can just as easily be attached to other hip also. Don't let the details intimidate you, easier to paint with detail than you expect. Alas, it does not come with the big stone block base as presented in this picture, it is a standard slot into square base. Wish it did come that way, but most painted pics for Pathfinder figures here are custom-made bases. Still, absolutely worth getting as he serves as virtually any character class.
The hero from the Pathfinder AP logs and a major NPC in the Serpent's Skull AP!
But this mini can be ANY beginning adventurer (male that is ;-) you play. That's why I purchased it in the first place. Have a new character without any considerable armor or gear? Bingo!
His sword and backpack come seperately, so you can choose to glue them on or not. Or convert him with other weapons...
As a sidenote, this backpack is more detailed than the alchemist's.
More mold lines than I'd like, but still a great mini. I combo'd this with one of the spare weapons kit for my ranger getting ready for the Mwangi expanse. I glued the shortsword to the side of the backpack, stuck a spear in the base and glued a crossbow to the other side of the backpack.
Eando was easier to paint then I expected. I thought he looked better without the sword so I left it detached. Painted, his gloves seem a bit large - almost like boxing gloves.
A well sculpted mini that can sub for most classes is always handy to have around. Now I just need to learn to paint like the pros.
The level of sculpting detail on that mini intimidates me.
It looks awesome but I just think how I'd screw it up.
Thin your paints ALOT. Then you layer, slowly. 10-16 coats should be enough. It allows you to ensure any screw ups aren't that obvious, and it looks great.
Anyone know when this mini would start shipping? I'd love to order it for my next campaign, but I don't want to have to split my order and pay two shipping fees.
