Dextarius & Ywain Rides Onto The Sands Of Arena Rex
December 18, 2016 by brennon
Dextarius has now ridden out from Area Rex to join the fighting in their epic Fantasy/Historical game of blood and guts on the sands. See what you think of this rather wonderful looking sculpt...
So, let's learn about this mighty horse...
"A prize-winning draft and show animal, Dextarius was a gift to Ywain; a luxe reminder that the man himself was at best a display piece or burden in Imperial politics. While the massive creature lacks the agile hooves and speed preferred by legionary riders, his agile mind and sheer brawn make him a terror in the arena.
With a great weight of armor added to so much horse, any charge is certain to be decisive."
Strangely this fellow can be picked up with or without his rider but I think that you'd have to get Ywain for his extra fighting potential. Plus, the model looks awesome.
The model is of a stunning quality, produced in resin with credit going to Patrick Masson for the sculpting and the illustration done by Yasmine Putri.
As a Beast Dextarius can be included as part of your cohort on the tabletop or you could use him as a rampaging creature that is a threat to all on the sands. I think I'd be happy to have this horse on my side.
What do you think?

such a splendid model. I really need to get into this game.
That is really good looking model.
I think it would look better without the shields strapped to the horses flanks. The Shields don’t look very Greco-Roman and they look like they would be mostly in the way. But. Otherwise it’s another stunning miniature from a range of stunning miniatures.
Wow that company puts out some really nice looking minis. Everything is on sale right now as well!
Here’s hoping for UK distribution in 2017.
interesting looking figure.
It’s nice but I have just listed all my stuff for sale. Just couldn’t get a game and my mates didn’t jump on board. It really needs a uk distrubutor.
Looking great even if it is “only” a horse and not a bull or something interesting like that 😉
