A wonderful figure for spellcasting PC's and villains alike. The Snaketongue Cultist fits the appearance of a sorcerer or mage with a nicely detailed staff and light green robes (be careful, the robes are a lighter color than what is portrayed here). Interestingly, this mini's robes do not cover his feet, revealing boots. This could help personify an adventuring mage who is appropriately dressed for dungeon-diving, unlike other magic-oriented minis who dress in what could be the equivalent of delicate silk gowns. The best part though has got to be the face, or should I say, lack of one. The hood of this mini contains no facial features and is nothing but a black void. The mysterious hooded/cloaked figure, especially one designed to have knowledge of the arcane, always has a place in a fantasy setting. Without a doubt, this is one of the best figures to represent a mage of any kind. Get one ASAP!

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. My players loved this miniature and instantly wanted to inspect it when it was put on the game mat. It makes an excellent NPC or evil magic using baddie. The Desert of Desolation set was one of my favorites in the DDM line. The sculpts and paint jobs tend to be excellent and the variety of miniatures is hard to beat.

One of my favorite miniatures for NPCs and monsters. The mysterious cloaked spellcaster with simple flat black plastic under the hood works well for any humanoid race. Get more than one of these!
