Welcome to my review of my latest Avatar from Malifaux (Wyrd Guys). This time it is Somer and Peaches or Avatar of Indulgence;
The Box
As you can see it is a pretty standard Wyrd box which is the smallest possible box you will see for the size of the miniatures. And like all instances of these boxes you will need to deal with bent parts on occasions but from my experience nothing great than you get from other companies. As usual you get the miniature artwork on the front which matches the book. So overall a feeling of familiarity.
The Bits
Thats a lot of bits……..
Now comparing this to the aSeamus kit I have also reviewed Somer takes the number of parts to the next level with a lot more metal than resin in this kit than the Seamus one.
The Cards
Like all Avatars Somer comes with the standard 2 rule cards. Which is much easier on old eyes
The Miniature
So first a confession I was not a fan of the miniature when Wyrd first previewed it something didn’t sit right but not one to let my gremlins suffer I picked him up anyway and I must say I am mightily impressed with him now (will teach me not to trust Wyrd).
First up the resin piece (back bacon)
It is the same resin we saw with aSeamus and is well finished although the detailing is not as impressive but expected due to the nature of the miniature.
What I will say is this is one BIG pig.
The Build
As you would imagine this is not the most difficult of miniatures to put together. Everything fits relatively well but some GS work is needed to fill in the odd gap going on with the metal-to-resin pieces.
The one issue I had with this build was that I had to find pictures on the internet of the finished miniature to see how the moonshine still fitted onto peaches perhaps I was being daft when I put it together but I needed the pics to get everything right. Although not essential a little diagram would not have gone a miss.
The Scale
The usual scale picture with the usual characters as you can see this is the fully painted mini for a change I forgot to take pics of the bare metal/resin like I would normally do.





again I approve great concept.







Not bad although the left hand is a bit off, looks like he is doing an international sign for something…
