To the left is the Tall Man, our<br />

last Freak Show miniature for this<br />

issue. While not as tall as The<br />

Monster he stands almost 2.5” tall<br />

from the bottom of his base to<br />

the top of his head and is very<br />

skinny. He must be married to<br />

the bearded fat lady, oh now<br />

there’s an idea for an addition to<br />

the army. She could be as big as<br />

a house, terribly slow, but can<br />

swallow down a figure in a single<br />

gulp. Oh, wait, I’m getting off<br />

track.<br />

He has a torn-up appearance,<br />

Similar to that of The Monster, but not quite as extreme.<br />

The model comes as three pieces (body and two arms)<br />

and went together very easily. There was almost no<br />

cleanup needed and the arms fit into the sockets on the<br />

upper torso perfectly. Being separate, you have some<br />

freedom to move the arms a bit and vary the pose. At<br />

$5.00 USD he’s not overpriced at all and can also serve as<br />

a zombie somewhere between regular size and the really<br />

big Monster sized variety.<br />

Moving on to the<br />

Kingdom of Avalon we<br />

have King Thomas<br />

Killian, the leader<br />

(Warlord) of that<br />

faction. He comes as a<br />

single piece that needed<br />

just a bit of attention<br />

before priming, but<br />

nothing out of the<br />

ordinary.<br />

King Thomas strides into battle wearing<br />

heavy plate armor and a long cloak. A<br />

longsword is his only weapon and his crown<br />

definitely indicates that he’s the man in<br />

charge. Facial detail was very nice on this<br />

figure and he looks like he’ll be easy to paint<br />

to a nice standard. At $4.00 USD he’s very<br />

well priced and could serve as a leader in a<br />

Warhammer Fantasy Brettonian army or as<br />

an NPC in pretty much any fantasy rpg.<br />

is ready to come<br />

crashing down on the<br />

head of any nonbeliever.<br />

Facial detail<br />

was very good on this<br />

model and the pose<br />

gives a very good illusion<br />

of movement.<br />

This is a very good<br />

model with applications<br />

as a player character<br />

Cleric or as a hero-type<br />

in a Warhammer Fantasy<br />

Empire army outside of<br />

100 Kingdoms<br />

Last up this time around is the Vespidian from the Hive<br />

army. As you can see it comes as 9-pieces and once<br />

assembled (take a look in the Hive section of the 100<br />

Kingdoms website) sits on a 40mm base. For a model<br />

with so many pieces it went together quite quickly and<br />

with a minimal amount of cleaning. The wings are<br />

bendable (but be careful because they are on the thin<br />

side and could break) so you can give it an appearance<br />

of just having swooped down on its prey.<br />

Since the body is the largest piece of the model and<br />

looks a bit flat you might think that is the case once the<br />

model is assembled, but it’s really not. The other arm<br />

and the wings really let you give the model a sense of<br />

motion and fluidity.<br />

As the general of the Hive army you’ll definitely be<br />

picking one up if you go with them for 100 Kingdoms<br />

and outside of that you could maybe use them as<br />

insectoid monsters in a fantasy rpg or you could maybe<br />

use one as a Chaos Spawn in Warhammer Fantasy. The<br />

Vespidian will set you back $7.50 USD<br />

At the top-right is the Avalon Battle Monk.<br />

He’s priced at $4.00 USD and comes as single<br />

piece model that had very little in the way of<br />

a visible mold line, but there was a little bit of<br />

flash, mostly on his weapon, that needed to<br />

be cleaned. This was no big deal at all<br />

though.<br />

The monk is wearing basically nothing in the<br />

way of armor, but is swinging around a<br />

rather large two-handed axe/hammer that is
