Gale Force Nine Bring You A D&D Half-Shade Paladin
December 20, 2013 by brennon
The Dungeons & Dragons Collectors Series is continuing well with another model on the way, Vasen Cale the Half-Shade Paladin. See what you think of this strange wanderer from Gale Force Nine...
And now for the blurb...
"Paladin Vasen Cale is doomed to straddle the worlds of light and shadow. While Loyal to the god of the sun, Amaunator, Vasen cannot deny his heritage as the son of Erevis Cale, shade assassin and Chosen of Mask, the god of shadows. The day has come when Vasen must assume his role in the Sundering. He knows not what that role will be, only what his father tells him in dreams: do not fail."
...sounds like the perfect NPC or if you like the idea of playing one of these creatures then you could always use him as such. As it stands he is part of the ongoing Sundering series for The Forgotten Realms.
I prefer the darker version as Erevis Cale, I think he looks better than the lunging shield stance.
What do you think?

If I had a shield on my forearm the last place I would want the shield is a way from my body
Can you imagine how tiring that would be, apart from leaving oneself exposed.
Much prefer the Casen Vale, and liking the back story
Overall looks a decent set
It’s that sort of smaller shield that you can bash with, perhaps. A targe, or something.
What’s up with you, Chibi, you’re being awfully negative in your comments, lately ? 🙁
Erm no it isn’t a buckler as can be seen from the second picture and which part of
“Much prefer the Casen Vale, and liking the back story Overall looks a decent set” is negative?
I don’t perceive any greater expectations for the quality of sculpting than your own, Romain. Maybe you just don’t express them as much
Sorry I thought the forum was a place to offer honest opinions about models.
I don’t see that my attitude has changed from the time I started commenting on BoW. and am rather disappointed that I am being criticised for a fair critique.
I’m not accusing you of anything, let alone being unfair, and you are, of course, entitled to your opinion… really, you’re taking this the wrong way. Again. You’ve been like that a lot, lately.
I will ask once more and then I’ll let it go : why are you so defensive and contrary ? are you stressed ? who peed in your porridge ?
I mean, just look at the vocabulary you use.
Goldilocks peed in the porridge.
You accuse me of being negative when I have been positive about other models.as well as the ones here.
So I do not understand why you needed to make the statement in the first place.
I have a right to put your remark in perspective. That is all.I have done.
“I have a right…”… “You accuse me…”
You have a right to say what you want, I never challenged that. I’m not accusing you of anything. I acknowledge your remarks about shields and such. I’m ALSO genuinely concerned about your tone : you’ve never been that defensive on BoW before. Is there anything wrong ?
Got to say I agree with @brennon & @chibi. I’m not keen on the shield model either. His stance looks very unnatural to me.
Some of the Battlefield in a box pieces in the video looked good, there are a couple pieces I’ll be looking out for.
