Model Review: Alexia the Undying


As a lot of you might be aware I have a soft spot for Alexia. She is my favourite character in the setting and getting a new version of her is something I have wanted for a long time.
I was sent this mini to review and paint by Privateer Press so big thanks to them.


The mini comes in two parts, the body and then the sword with attached forearms.


Her face is nicely detailed with deep sculpt into the recesses of the hood.


I like how they kept her armour the same as her previous two incarnations but with a new cloak. Her old one was rather worn and torn, where as this one looks new. 


Lots of deep folds which will be a great opportunity to practice painting shades of cloth.



This is the first time Alexia has been posed holding the Witchfire (that's the name of the sword) in both hands. This part has two attachment points and connected really well. I was wondering if I would have to pin it but it turned out not to be necessary. 



Here she is assembled, she has a great combative pose. 






This is my collection of Alexia's. I managed to get hold of the Minicrate VIP one from Dragonpup on discord. Huge thanks to them for selling her to me! 


This model is scaled a little smaller than the other versions of Alexia, though it doesn't ever really matter as they will never be on the table at the same time. 



Alexia3 actually has the longest sword, with Alexia2 having the smallest.

The quality of the sculpt was excellent, practically no mold lines and the assembly was really easy.

I'm excited to try her out in a list with a couple of units of the Legion of lost souls which release at the end of January. I think the caster I will use her with first is likely Stryker2.

I hope you found this interesting, if you have any feedback feel free to drop it in a comment below or a message on any of the socials.

If you want to get this model for yourself she is available now. If you are in the UK/EU you can get her here via my affiliate link from The Outpost (A UK webstore)

  1. She looks great, I haven’t been keeping up with Warmachine and didn’t know there was a new sculpt out! I finally painted my Alexia1 this year, even though I’ve had her since she first came out and she was just Alexia without a number!
