HiTech’s Daniael Must Have Been Given Some Red Bull

If you were looking at HiTech Miniatures Incantor Daniael and hoping he could fly then you will be very pleased. Check out the new version of this Sci-Fi Knight below...
I still quite like this miniature although the wings still look a little weird to me. I don't know why but they feel as if they don't fit properly in terms of size and positioning.
The feathered style is right however, especially if he is a psychic or preacher of some kind. I might cut off that big axe head though, or at least remove the blades and keep it as a staff.
What do you think?
proportiosn are off in so many places, and the weapon is ridiculously shaped like a paddle of some kind. Really not my cup of tea. The only good part are the legs.
Yes, it feels built rather than born !
You can’t discern the actual proportions of the guy inside the armor… if there is anyone, that is !
These miniatures always feel so cramped and crowded, what with the pipes going every which way… It’s an itty-bitty head in the middle of a cornucopia of huge armored limbs, oversized shoulderpads, seals, parchments, aquilas, books, skulls, wings, gothic icons and archways, banners, spikes, vents, reactors, pipes, weirdly shaped big-ass weapons with handles so thick you can’t close your fingers around them, and other thingamabobs… Everything looks so heavy, so impractical, so nonsensical, so baroque… It’s more static architecture than dynamic armor, more penis-substitute than effective weaponry. The wings just look stuck-on like little banners behind the poor guy in… Read more »

Less is more kinda thing (Not that I tell all the ladies that ofc! But if she needs a chopper that size, I tend not to bother tbh) 😛 I have not seen any of these models in the flesh, which surprises me a bit as… Read more »
I find the pose of the model a bit , like he needs glasses!
the rest of the model looks good do the weapon might need a few cuts … cut the blades of and you got a nice model.
They make bulky stuff guys. The quality is great its strong does not bend melt in the sun and its a pleasure to work with unlike GM’s fail-cast! i have some stuff from there Egyptian style range.
We seen this model before, just without the tacked on wings. I’ll pass on this one.
Yes, we have, now that you mention it… Then again, this whole series looks same-ish : same pose, almost the same armor, plenty of bits sticking out…
It’s like watching Barbie commercials. She’s dressed differently, but it’s the same bland toy with the same bland pose.
