Magic: The Gathering Unpainted Miniatures – Archangel Avacyn

Written By:

ArchangelAvacyn

Wizkids range of models inspired by Magic The Gathering bring key parts of the hihly detailed setting physical form. Magic is a highly visual setting; every single card has an illustration on it and they all tell some sort of story.

The Archangel Avacyn is a particular interesting character. Magic The Gathering has a lot of angels in it’s lore, but Avacyn hails from the Innistrad, the horror themed plane. Created by vampire planeswalker Sorin Markov, she exists to protect and bring balance to Innistrad, and she’s a key figure in many of the stories about that place.

The unpainted model is at the standard 25mm scale, and looks like she’s leapt straight out of one her cards. The model is primed; a thin layer of grey paint coats the model, and most standard modelling paints easily pick out the detail on the piece. The angels wings are thick and solidly done, as if they are many feathers stacked on top of each other.  They are sculpted as if they are just about to take flight. Her moonsilver spear is thrust out into the sky and her hair and robes whip about her.

This is a fun piece with quite a bit of utility; it’s a more interesting sort of angel and there’s a lot of fun to be had for the canny hobbyist.
