Here's the other mini I finished this week in addition to the Father of Sorrows.

This is Mike's new character Argosin.







Enjoy!

Very cool! I really like the character of that mini, and the paintjob suits it, really gone to town with the colours of the vial. May I ask who the producer is?

Reaper. With a minor swap of a stopper for a dagger.

Yeah man. Another nice painted mini.
Colors bright colors are vibrant as they should and the earth tones are solid.
The glass work on the vials is spot on. WHat is the color you used on the tops of the vials? Just a white wash?
Only issue i have is the position of the sword. It seems upside down from how his hand is holding it.
Other than that, wicked kool indeed. Keep em coming. :-)

VERY COOL mini & VERY NICELY painted! He looks like a roving drug store.

Yeah, this mini is supposed to be an elven Alchemist.  I docked his ears, snipped off the stopper and put the ritual dagger in its place.  And it is facing the right direction actually.  His hand is small and turned to hold the hilt.  Hard to see but in the correct place.

It is? From the angle of the second pic it looks like the edge of the blade should be turned 45 degrees towards the back. It looks like he is showing the enemy the flat of the blade. It is hard to explain from this way w/o a closer pic of the hand.
Still an awesome fig for sure, no doubt about it. Keep em coming. :-)

Yeah, the two i have in question are the cleric that has the big spiked club and the other is the fighter in full plate with a BFA and a sword and board on his back. The board has an eagle head of some kind on it. :-)

The sword blade ought to be roughly in line with the first line of knuckles on the hand, I think that's what makes it look odd.
But very nicely painted, looking forwards to seeing more.
