Hunters were highly-trained ex-military operatives and members of secret government agencies most comfortable clinging to the shadows and dealing with threats in their own deadly ways. After the Demon invasion, methods and weapons once held secret were shared as Hunters switched their crosshairs from one another to the monsters that had invaded their world.
The archetype of the Hunter is obscure, cloaked in mystery and subterfuge. In one way they are an Assassin, a Ninja, a knife in the dark. In other ways, they are the Ronin, a highly-trained warrior with no master. In yet more, they are the Destroyer, a force of blazing gunfire and deadly accuracy that lays waste to any foe that stands in their way.
Their weaponry was/is a mix of hyper-advanced technology and theoretical science. Their people are boisterous groups of practical hard-asses who have survived the Demon invasion thus far by remaining a few steps ahead and keeping the Cabalists and Templar a few steps behind. They are also men and women that have been subjected to indescribable horrors long before any Demon touched Earth's soil.

Ah, the Hunter, or Huntress which I noticed after having unpacked the box.
It's a marvelous wonder of tiny technical details, especially in the face region.
Like with all other Hellgate statues it has a beautiful base with an extra, in this case roof of a building where the Huntress is stalking, much like told in the lore of Hellgate: London.
The gun which she wields is a really nice piece and to me who know nothing of guns it looks realistic yet innovative.
It's impossible for me to give this statue less than 5/5, just looking at her makes me remember the highly detailed fighting sequences in the books. Hide.

If you like an atmospheric piece, this ticks all the boxes. The pose is wonderful and there's a lot going on here. The idea of a decayed and deserted London is perfectly captured by the pinnacle which looks like it could collapse and come crashing down at any time.
The hunter herself is a lithe, almost frail creature, made to look even more so because of her precarious perch and the fact that the viewer in all likelihood knows what she is up against. Her femininity contrasts with the superbly detailed armour and weaponry, the obvious confidence displayed by the pose, and her determined scan of the streets below as she looks for a target.
Paint apps are excellent, details are awesome, and the statue is a lot bigger than I expected.
Highest recommendations, folks! Hide.
