Elemental Evil #30 Solar Angel (U)

The Solar Angel is awesome. quite big :)

This is one of the older WizKids 5e miniatures, so the quality definitely doesn't match what they produce these days. However, it gets the point across and that is what counts.

This angel mini is not that great. The overall body/mold and paint is OK, but the face is really bad. No distinguishable features. The white eyes blend into the face so it looks like it has no face. The whole paint job has this dirty appearance with dark dirt like smudges all over, which is very noticeable on the face and smock. One of the legs is a little loose. Fine for the most part but feels like you might knock it out if you force it onto the stand for the base. And that is the worst part. For the most part I don't like these minis that require a stand so the mini stays on the base, and this is one of the worst designs. For me it was hard to put together without almost breaking the thing and now I have it on I feel like I can't use it or it will fall off.

Bought a brick and got two of them. Black smudges on both faces, indistinguishable mouths and eyes, and did i mention two in a brick?

This mighty angel has a very nice sculpt, although it is not the best paint job, at this price you can't go wrong. This one is on my repainting list.

Angels aren't your most needed minis in a fantasy role playing game, but it's good to have one for the important moments in a long campaign. This one is as good as it gets. He is graceful, glorious, radiant, full of the power of goodness but still subtle, not rubbing it on your face. Which means they got the angelic attitude 100% right (unless you think of angels as the rock stars of the heavens). He looks light as a feather, one of the flying minis who really looks like it's flying, or floating in this case. I've got plenty of angelic minis around, but don't really see myself using others than this one in a game. He's that stylish.
