We get a look at two more of
Reaper’s Warlord range of
figures and two others from
the Dark Heaven line. The
Justicar (left) is a single piece
model that is armed with a
spear and sword in a
scabbard. He’s wearing
heavy armor and is just
screaming to be a player
character in an RPG or a
leader of a group of spearmen.
He did take a little bit of time with a hobby knife to
get rid of the mold line. It wasn’t thick, but is was
everywhere. Facial detail is excellent and you’ll find
buckles and belts and clasps all over the place. A truly
marvelous figure.
An Anti-Hero (center) is next and he comes as two pieces
(the main figure and the left arm/shield). He actually
needed a bit more time than the
Justicar for cleaning as he had
some flash that needed trimming
along with the mold line that
needed attention. He’s wearing all
of the plate armor that he could
find and a chain skirt is the only
thing that isn’t plate. He is a
walking tank! I know that he’s
billed as an Anti-Hero, but there’s
nothing overtly evil about this figure and he would work
well as a standard fighter. I would have no problem
using him as a paladin either. He’s armed with a
longsword in his right hand and has a short one (or a
long dagger) on his belt. On first look I thought him to
have somewhat of a flat pose, but after adding the shield
arm he comes to live a lot more.
Being from the Warlord line means that each of the
figures above comes with a separate square metal base,
which just fills me with happy joy-joy feelings. They will
both set you back $4.00 USD.

detail to be a step down from the Justicar and the snakes
on her head are just a bit thick. I think they would have
looked better if they were a little thinner. She’s armed
with the typical weapon for a Medusa, a long bow and is
really not worried about catching an axe in the head
because she’ll just turn you to stone. She took a few
minutes to clean up as the mold line and some flash
needed taking care of. This is a figure that any DM can
use in their monster collection and come to think of it, it’s
probably time that I dropped one of them on my party of
stalwart adventurers. She has a
retail price of $4.00 USD which is
quite good for a cavalry-sized
model.
Last up this time is a Bugbear
Shaman. This was probably my
favorite out of this group, but also
needed the most cleaning and
prep work. His left arm is
attached to the base as a semiseparate
piece and he's holding a staff in his right hand.
The fur and facial detail on this figure is excellent and he
will fit in perfectly with the rest of the Reaper Bugbears.
His helmet is actually the skull of a ram and is tied around
his chin with a leather strap. I have my base issue again
with this figure but I managed to get all of the other
Reaper Bugbears, and
Gnolls on to standard
25mm plastic bases so
I should be able to
work with him also.
He also has a retail
price of $4.00 USD and
is definitely worth it.
Next up (top right) is a medusa that comes as a two
piece figure. We’re back to the standard Reaper bases
so that means that I’m back to trying to work her onto
another base. Luckily, she will fit perfectly on a standard
plastic cavalry base so no worries there. You will notice
that her ‘naughty bits’ are showing so you might want to
keep your ‘Disney-watching’ kids out of the room when
you whip her out. Just a heads up. I found her facial www.reapermini.com
