Acolyte Miniatures Showcase 32mm Fantasy Range With Wizard
August 15, 2017 by thisisazrael
Acolyte Miniatures have released a 32mm wizard as part of their fantasy range.
The pose with spell books bound to his side and a spell in mid flow, I think really sets this guy apart, especially with the furrowed concentrated brow.
On Facebook Acolyte had to put out a joking disclaimer that the model is "in no way based on any living or dead Labour party leader"
I must admit when I first saw the back of the model I was a little disappointed the cape was so plain, especially given the wonderful detail on the armour and books, however on reflection I feel it is probably more in keeping with the character to have a less ornate cloak.
What do you think of this spellcaster?
nine love the detail.
I looked at their website. The entire Fantasy Range looks great, however, they cost more than metal equivalents. At that cost I could get Dark Sword Miniatures.
Hey, thanks for the feedback, it’s very much appreciated.
The pricing was something we were looking at and have adjusted it accordingly on the website, so please check it out.

For the cloak, despite it being a rather plain look, there is the major possibility for some freehand work with it.
@sotf A really good point I hadn’t considered as I’m still a paint by numbers painter 😛

I like this miniature, and i like the fact that they didn’t try to make something of the cloak just for the sake of splattering it with ‘details’. I think i might get this.

I like him. I hate to auto-throw indie minis at 40k but he’d make a brilliantly understated inquisitor.
