hey guys

heres a pic of the model

i think its gorgeous and I was wondering what people thought of the model. Does anyone think it would be a great model to use as a sorceress or even a master/dread?

Also is there any problems with me using this model? I think it has a much bigger base than for the standard model so I'd obviously rebase it to a 20mm base. Weights ftw if it doesnt balance haha

thanks guys

Its likely its on a 40*40 base. I think it would work better in an undead army. As cool as the model is, trying to fit it into a elven army is just not going to work well...

Reaper has alot of great miniatures.
I think it isn't to undead, with the correct colors you could turn it into a more elven feel (and a good fluff ofcourse

).

There is another problem.
Last weekend I was at Spiel 2009 in Essen (Germany) and I bought some miniatures from reaper and confrontation (come on 1 euro for a blister hell yeah).
Now last night I was comparing the hight with an ordanary Dark Elves Spearmen.
And I noticed that most of the reaper models (Warlord range) are some what taller. like there shoulders are were the head of the spearmen is.
This can be good or bad. It can look weird, but it could also atrract more good attantion to your Hero/Lord.
The only one getting near the spearmen is ;

But this is the conclusion I get out off the mini's I have.
Maybe its differint with the one you want.

cheers

That is a really nice mini. The figurehead on a boat prow idea could work with the Druchii fluff but she does strike me as more undead than Dark Elf.

It's... a piece of a ship...
Unless you file and cut off the prow bits, I see no way of making it into any kind of druchii.

Agree with dalamar. But it could be used for a sea-based/themed undead army as a banshee?

That would be an awesome pirate banshee

That was my first thought as well -- great Banshee for a VC army, but wouldn't work as a Dark Elf.

My first thought was "what's all that junk coming out of her back? Are those wings??" Excellent Banshee! Thumbs down to Druchii.

ok, so here are my 2 cents. yes, it would make a fantastic banshee. For the Druchii aspect, i would have to say that its workable. Yes taking of the ship bits would be a bit of a pain, but done right i think it could make a really great conversion. GS some armour on her, reposition the arms, a little bit, and then try to divert attention away from her being taller than the other models, like putting her on a tall rock or something. She could also make a good vampire. Just my 2 cents

Except druchii ship figurehead

But seriously - it she won't work for druchii Better check Reaper range out, there are a lot better druchii-sque minis.
