Emperor Miniature for Less from HeresyLab: Unboxing
Their site is just full of great minis! They also run a bunch of cool Kickstarters, which you can check out their newest one here. If you saw the Assassin Bundles we were running, that was from them. Basically, anything you could want, they have something for you!
Celestial Knight
For only $25 this is far more affordable than even the small characters now for the Marines. Obviously, this is more impressive (on a 60mm base), but it’s a good line to judge price off of.
Blister Pack
They come in super nice blisters that really keep the minis protected. Some alternative companies don’t have true retail styled packaging, but they sure do!
This is another of the great minis they sent to the studio, just to show you how the kits come. They come in multiple parts but not really a true Multi-part kit. Just be careful building some of the minis because some are a little finicky to build. But overall the detail is amazing, they go together well, and the designs are great.
Alternative Emperor Miniature/Celestial Knight
Rob already built this so he can’t show you what it looks like unassembled. It comes with two head options but Rob went for the head without a helmet. All the detail looks great and it was super easy to build. Just to note, if you were painting this with an airbrush, Rob would leave the cape off.
Size Comparison
It’s on a 60mm base and compares quite nicely to this other hero of the Imperium. It stands basically the same height but the base is just slightly different. You can always move it to a new base or just keep him like he is.
Overall this is a great miniature and very affordable! If you want a leader for your forces, this guy is perfect!
