Last month, I got my first Privateer Press Mini Crate. This month, my second mystery box arrived on schedule. I'll skip the packaging pics because it's basically the same as last time except for the mini inside. Let's take a look at the contents!
Alten van Helsing is an official alternate mini for the Alten Ashley Hordes character. Instead of an absurdly oversized blunderbuss, we have a comically huge crossbow. I dig the vampire hunter vibe. The back of the cloak also has some very impressive trim.
Less pleasant is that nub of resin on the front cloak corner that will need to be trimmed off and filed smooth. It's the only spot it could really be though, I suppose. Otherwise, cleanup is minimal. It's a nice cast all around. I'd also prefer to have all components the same material. Metal on resin joints are a pain to glue, and the parts are small enough to make pinning the pieces difficult. The fit is good though, and he'd look pretty awesome fully assembled and painted.
You can't get this guy anymore now, because these are all limited-edition releases, but I may be open to offers to buy my Alten van Helsing with STEEM!
At the time of posting, there's still a day to get in on the Runeball Wizard next month! And if you sign up for a 6-month subscription, you can also get the Mrs. Walls bonus mini I got last month, too!
