Avatars of War new release: Dark Elf Sorceress

[Autumn Leaves]

Looks alright, multi purpose as well.
This model can be dark elf, Slaanesh or wood elf at a pinch.

[DarkMark]

So who'll be calling theirs Marilyn?

[Urgat]

It would be better if she were leaning forward/running. Given that pewter is malleable, it should be easy to make it look like she's running- which will make more sense with the hair and the face.

Considering what he aimed for, if you think that, it means he totally failed...

[Sheena Easton]

Nice concept but not a huge fan of the execution - mainly because of this:

The back flap makes it look like she's breaking an all-mighty wind.

Yes, Flatuella The Pungent is casting her Wind Of Death...

He's obviously never watched dragonball Z

[MajorWesJanson]

Crazy hair + pointy weapon- Shardnet/Impaler wych for my Dark Eldar!

[Scaryscarymushroom]

Ooh. Good idea.

[kabum]

I find the mini absolutly great!
The hair is flying and with some good painting can be and astonishing mini. Is a petty we cannot see a painted (professionally) model.

[Karak Norn Clansman]

the waist proportions do seem abit off

Really? She looks like a normally built woman to me. For an elf.

[Miredorf]

The "anime power-up" effect is usually drawing power from within - usually to some level of physical strain. There's none of that here - she's just daintily walking across the room...while yelling. Maybe she's walking over a giant fan. The other use of that effect comes from meditation, in which case she should be eyes closed and lips closed, with a more purposeful pose (both hands on staff; no staff, hands up in stereotypical meditation pose; etc.).

Painting eyes white like if they were turned up in extasis would enforce the effect of ''power up'' probably.

EDIT: i also think the waist looks a little bit too big, like if she had been mother....Several times :P

Actually, I think the waist looks just fine. At a glance, the proportions (waist, chest, & hips especially) look much more realistic that most female miniatures. GW's heroic scale blows everything way out of proportion, and even among companies that produce more accurately scaled miniatures, most female minis have anatomies that are only feasible with extensive plastic surgery.

This one manages to look suitably comic-book without also looking like a Dark Elf Barbie Doll.

Edit: The hips are a little large.

[eldargal]

The hips are nice wide childbearing hips, I approve. Actually nice to see a female Elf with some curves in my opinion.

[Little Joe]

The hips are great, like Eldargal said. No need for way too skinny girls all the time. She could use more clothes, must be chilly to go to battle like that. I hope to see a painted version soon, because I think it would look a lot better.

I do not like the hair though, it is a bit like the dwarf rune master's beard (though I like mine as a darker kind of dwarf). This way she looks like a banshee to me.

EDIT: @nakedness: Or she distract any male oponents by a swing of her hips. Makes men drool, no magic needed.

[75hastings69]

Very poor sculpt IMO especially for Felix. Looks like a dolly that someone has practised doing bits on!

Not impressed, easily one of the worst AOW minis IMO.... still at least it will get cast well unlike GWs crap... so every cloud eh!?

[Urgat]

The hips are nice wide childbearing hips, I approve. Actually nice to see a female Elf with some curves in my opinion.

Doesn't fit elves though imho, I like elves when they don't look like humans with pointy ears. At least in the drawings, GW manages to make them look suitably alien.

[Miredorf]

I definitely meant hips, not waist. Sorry but english is not my native language .

Eventhough i love AoW and wish for their success, i think they are suffering lately from a growth as a company thats getting a little bit out of hands. Last models from Felix look like if they had been done in half the time usually put in older ones.

EDIT: i personally would rather keep a slower pace of releases but maintain their famed high quality, which is the sole reason they have gotten to the status they have now (either that...or hiring more personal).

And what would be strange with this for a Dark Elf Sorceress?

[anselminus]

i like it ^^

[Valrak]

Looks fantastic, really hope they start to do some mounted stuff

[Valnir]

Nice model, just waiting for them to do an awesome Dark Elf Assassin "hint Hint"
