Another great Space Elves unit is here in our unboxing of the highly detailed and dynamic Artel W Starborn and Voidborn Ancients!
Artel W miniatures make tons of models and each has its own flair. This time around Rob breaks down the build and unboxing of their amazing space elves alternatives!
We are going to show you everything that the models come with, how long they take to build, and some size comparisons. That way you can decide if this box is worth your hard-earned hobby dollars. Let’s go!
EDITOR’S NOTE: As of right now there are no sanctions in place against ordering from Russia, and the Russian post is still operating.
Keep in mind that the views and actions of the Russian Government do not reflect the views of manufacturers such as Artel W.
Starborn & Voidborn Ancients: Artel W Unboxing & Build
These are just some of the great minis you can get on Artel W’s site. They have over 20 pages of minis and are pumping out new stuff all the time! We’ve also covered a bunch of their releases, so if you want some more info you can check it out here.
These are really awesome with a ton of really cool options. They have so many cool ways to build them, characters, full squads, and even some bigger Dark Space Elf stuff!
When it comes to pricing, they are still a little less than GW and the more you buy, the more you save!
Just a quick note, they are out of Russia so it can take some time every once in a while for shipping. To offset this, they offer free shipping on orders over $100 dollars and give you more discounts depending on how much you buy. So it’s worth it to grab all your stuff in one go and get some sweet discounts. Now back to the minis!
The Box:
One of the coolest parts about getting minis from Artel W is the box! Each one comes wrapped in twine and hand-sealed, just a really fun little addition. Each mini is also very well wrapped and taken care of.
The Bits
They use super high-quality resin and everything is just so packed full of detail! We’ve gotten so much stuff from them and never had any issues with damaged parts or build issues, as they give nice triangle slots for everything to go into.
Assembled Minis
The Voidborn Grotesque alternatives are just so amazing and way better than most things out there. Plus, the more you buy, they start to become a really good deal.
Obviously, they are bigger than a puny marine!
The Bonechanter is really cool and could be used as a bunch of alternatives and is just fun!
Next up, they sent us a few Mistresses of Flesh, and you can guess what these are used for!
This might be one of Rob’s favorites and is another obvious alternative.
Next up are the Spectral Spinners and they are just super sweet! They have so many options and just blow the normal minis out of the water.
This one is by far Rob’s favorite! It’s just so dynamic and how can you not love a mini flying through the world like this!
Size Comparison
They are perfectly sized and would work perfectly in a certain Grimdark faction.
