Painted The Siren Villain - samuraitrev - 09-29-2022 09:05 PM
Greetings warm and cold blood denizens of the dark.
This delectable Villain is made a company called Rocket Pig Games https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/921872760/harpy-siren-miniature-for-tabletop-games?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=siren+miniature&ref=sr_gallery-1-31&sts=1&organic_search_click=1 it cost me only £6 ($6.65) at the time.

Pros and cons of this miniature:
Pros
Fits the theme thematically well.
Great value
Good scale
Cons:
I don't like fixed bases but many 3D bases have them. I didn't want the tree trunk.
Mould lines still evident but the process is improving.
I don't like how the lower feathers are joined together.
Conclusion
This model is exactly how a Siren should look. Beautiful but alien. There's a lot of miniatures out there that look really outlandish and not what I was looking for at all.
Now, on the AToE Villain card you only get a head shot so I based the colour scheme on this. You could argue it's the moonlight etc. on the picture but I wanted to use blues and mixed with some greens to link to the sea. I created the sea base btw as I thought it would suit The Coast expansion better. It didn't work perfectly as I couldn't remove the tree trunk as it would have destroyed the model. As it happens, I like to imagine she's out to sea, gripping onto some driftwood luring some poor saps to their watery doom.
I would rate this miniature 3/5
Thanks for taking a look folks and I'll be back with more stuff soon! I intend to get some more AToE stuff straight onto the painting table.
As always, comments welcome. I would like to hear your thoughts on the miniature, the painting or any random stuff that pops into your head
Happy gaming and painting out there

Great paint job but the fig doesn't do it for me. Sirens should not have "chicken Feet".
The pose is weird but nice Butt.

I hear you on the chicken feet. I know they're going for the avian feel but it's a bit too Tzeentchian for me. I'm glad you approve of the paint work

Impressive work as always. The basing especially looks great on this one.

Thank you. I'm just basing 8 figures at the moment. I'm hoping to post some of them this weekend. 2 Villains and an Ally. The rest I will show in time...
Thanks for looking everyone. If any of you out there have done any painting, please feel free to post pictures of it. I always like to take a look.
