There is no such thing as "too many Assassins` miniatures".

Agreed!

Well spotted on the Imperial assassin!

Cool figure.

I'll have to wait, just blew all my money on some other stuff that was going OOP.

I'm still waiting on my order from October. Hasn't even left processing yet.

Otherwise I probably would've grabbed a few more bits.

Still waiting on those exoskeleton wearing troopers they previewed for their cyberpunk game as well....

Same. Turns out Artel was ill, hence, the delay.

A bit disappointed with the customer service - it wouldn't take much to ask a friend to send out a notification of delay.

I received two orders from Artel, both about....25-30 days total from order to arrival in the US. I know that doesn't help anyone, but they were both small orders. Definitely not a fast service, but looking forward to the minis (one was a gift).

Sorry, friend. It`s harder, than you think, though.
Still, that`s my fault and I apologize for it.

FWIW, I had to wait for my package (almost two months) as I ordered during another busy season but it was worth the wait. I figured they only did the fancy rope tied purity seal thing for big wigs like youtube channels and such but even a garden variety gamer like myself got the special packaging. It was even better inside when I looked at the casting quality.... lookin' at you moth eaten mould linin' flash haloing Forgeworld!

I hope you get well soon! Wish you all the best man.

Surely that's the way they intended it to be built, yes?

That would be Captain Stellina "Two Hats" Jaquesson, of the house of Jaquesson, descended from the house founder, Artur "Two Sheds" Jaquesson.

Quite possibly. Resourcing is tough at the best of times. Fair enough comment.

It’s not a natural pose but it is biomechanically feasible. It’s a kind of taunting flourish that renaissance duellists might use to feign being wide open. Just think “palm up” and it makes more sense. The frilly cuff is hiding a lot too.

With the blade in that position the only way he could be holding it is supinated, or palm up.

Yeah, that's definitely a palm-up pose.

Um, isn't his sword hand backwards? It's like his wrist is rotated almost a full 180deg from where it's supposed to be; the knuckles should be out, not in.

Indeed, you can actually see the knuckles pointing down and the thumb up. Very usual pose for épeé fencing:



The one of the mini looks like a variant of the salute pose:



Love the pose, btw. The only thing that looks kind of weird is that the guard should be on the other side of the hand.

His elbow isn't angled outwards though, not very much anyway. I can replicate that pose easy enough, and I'm certainly not a particularly flexible person.

Here’s a better image. I think the angle of the render is making us think the elbow is further out than it is.

Its quite a relaxed "come at me" guard. If you were using it for real then your hand would be across to the left of your body with the blade covering you.

As others have said the render makes the elbow out of joint. I am able to replicate most of the pose with a military sabre and use that sort of posture with Rapier

I absolutely adore how Artel does faces.

...wow, this is amazing! And serendipituous, just yesterday I assembled some of those ^^

Incidentally, if you ever decide to actually sell STL files, I will be very interested in buying a lot of those.

Holy crap... must download! I was a fan of your company after getting your miniatures but this is an incredible New Year's present. Thanks! I'll definitely be printing out a chapter master... and a warseer... and probably a banshee... or two...

An absolutely fantastic move on your part, Artel.
