Eberron: Rising from the Last War #11 Shifter Artificer (C)

Really nice mini that will fit very well with my more charismatic players who always wear fun hats.

What I wanted for my session.

I bought a little over 2 dozen different minis at the same time and all of them arrived safely. The Artificer paint quality was great using the 3 ft rule. It will work great for my games. I have been buying painted minis for some time, and the stuff I have been getting from WizKids Icons of the Realms has been amazing.

Some of the best minis are the most versatile. This mini is one of the best in that regard. It can be the main antagonist in a wild west campaign, a corrupt mayor running a town, or a nearby noble that's being attacked by monsters and needs saving. This mini looks great and can fit into plenty of scenarios.

Good height for a mini, and works well in various environments. Need an artificer? Boom. Need an interesting member of the city like a mayor? Boom. Need a quick Western themed miniature? Again, boom. The best minis are the ones you can get the most use of,

Useful for an artificer, or just a general dapper fella.

It was even more detailed than the image online it was so nice and the miniature is one of my favorites

After seeing one up close I had to get a couple more so when I run a big fantasy campaign again I can use them as like a wizard police group in charge of magical crimes. A nice assortment of details and coloring though the eyes look a bit silly. Always a fan of a miniature that can work in a multitude of settings and this piece has that potential.

I personally really like this mini and would use him as inspiration for a PC. I do think his outfit makes him limited to campaigns set outside of hardline medieval fantasy settings, but most of the ones I run contain a Renaissance/Victorian esthetic where this fits in nicely. I will probably use them as some sort of spy/secret service esque organization. There is a bit of variance in the quality as I bought 4 and paint job was a little iffy on some of them around the face. They also don’t scream shifter so they work as humans or half elves as well, but if you want these for shifter qualities there really isn’t any and honestly I’m ok with that since it lets me us3 them for more characters.
