curve upwards. His long hair is tied into a ponytail andreaches down to his belt. This is a very nice model as-isbut I could not help thinking of how I could modify it.I’ve been playing a good deal of World of Warcraftlately and you could easily clip the hands off of theweapon and replace one with a large axe or sword andthe other with a blunderbuss and turn him into a Taurenhunter. Of course, now I have the problem of trying tofind a blunderbuss big enough.3014 Nightstalker Assasin $3.99I guess the first thing I have to sayis that I spelled the name of themodel the way its shown on theblister, so it’s not a typo on ourpart. The model is a single piecesolid cast model, with a metal integratedbase. For an assassin, he iswearing one heck of a lot ofclothes, in fact, besides the one armsticking out that is holding a longknife, and a small speck of faceshowing under his cowl, there is noskin and very little body detail atall due to the large gown (that looks like it has a petticoatunder it) he is wearing. It’s very clean as far asflash and mold lines, and the model has no weak pointsor balance issues. In fact it’s above average in weightdue to the large robes the guy is wearing. The only realdetail on the model is a row of skulls that decorate thehem of his gown so this will be one of the easier piecesto paint.3016 Toreth, Male Dark Elf $3.99Toreth is a single piece model that stands on a small attachedmetal base. He is wearing heavier armor than thenormal run of the mill elf, and it doesn’t look all thatinherently evil so he could just as easy be used a goodguy or a bad guy elf. The longsword he holds as if hestanding at attention so it’s point straight up. The metalin sword is not very rigid, so in all likelihood you willhave to straighten it out and then becafeul during playnot to damage it. Also, hisbase is so small that it doesnot provide a whole lot ofstability, so it would be agood idea to mount him on alarger base, and this shouldnot elevate him too high becausethe attached base has avery slim profile. Therewere only a few minisculemold lines on one of his legs,and the only flash on himwas attached to the base sothis guy comes really clean.I also really like the detail on this model as everythingabout it is very sharp and distinct, and his facial featuresare just great. I don’t recall ever seeing any work fromthis sculptor before (John Winter) but this model is impressiveenough for me to remember to look for him inthe future.3017 Charnel Grub $6.99Obviously, the Charnel Grub is supposed to represent aCarrion Crawler and it does a great job! This modelcome sin seven pieces, but six of them are tentacles thatattach to the mouth area of the model. The tentacles areall cast on a single metal tab and are bendable but stillfairly thick so they should not break too easily. This isone big, ugly, squishy looking giant bug and it’s justwonderful! The I know that it makes me look like somekind of sick freak but this is just a cool figure. The bodyis well done and the mouth and pincers are very neatlysculpted. There was no flash to clean and the mold linewas virtually non-existent. Even with this being a venerableD&Dcreature it couldalso do perfectlywell as a menaceto your partymembers in apulp, modern oreven sci-fi game.It’s very versatileand highly recommended.3018 Hadrian, Mercenary Sergeant $3.99This is a solid cast model that comes in two piecesmounted on an attached metal base. His right handholds a really big sword that he is actually holding overhis head as if its made of paper (yes, he has really bigarms). The mold lines, at least what few I could find,are very mild and all in places making it very easy toremove. There was no flash to be found, but since thesword tip comes attached to the base of the model, thereis a nub of metal that needs to be removed from thesword. This model is not found wanting in metal, this isa pretty beefy guy, so thereare no weak points to befound. The joint betweenthe two pieces is at theright wrist, and the wristsits nicely into the cuffhiding the joint quite well.This guy is marketed as asergeant, but I think theway he carries himself andhis high class attire, I thinkhe would do just fine as aCaptain or even royalty.In fact, looking at him32
