Meet Lady Annika Of Age Of Sigmar’s Soulblight Gravelords
March 24, 2021 by brennon
Games Workshop is previewing more of the new vampire characters coming to the Soulblight Gravelords of Age Of Sigmar soon. This week, we got to meet Lady Annika, The Thirsting Blade who is another of the noble bloodsuckers that comes from the Cursed City of Ulfenkarn.

She might look like a dainty noble who simply swoops through echoing halls with her servants but Lady Annika is an utterly monstrous killer. As you might have guessed from her name, she has an endless thirst and uses her blade, Proboscian, to draw the vital fluids from her victims in an instant.

As she drains her victims, her bloodlust becomes all the more apparent and she will get deadlier the longer she immerses herself in combat. Much like the other Soulblight Vampires from Games Workshop, this is a fantastic miniature and I think it is going to bring a lot of people to The Mortal Realms.
We've said previously that they seem to have brought together the aesthetic of The Old World alongside that of The Mortal Realms in a great way indeed. These characters wouldn't look out of place wandering the streets of Mordheim for example.
Are you going to be snapping up the Soulblight Gravelords?

She looks like she could be long lost sister of Pennywise.
GW painter knocked this one out of the ballpark when they painted the face on that mini (hard to remember it’s a 28mm mini and that face is about 4mm high)
That is quite a mini there.
I really like this sculpt. I may have to get it even though I don’t currently play AoS.
That looks rather epic! God I miss being able to go round Warhammer World, this is just the kind of model I like to pick up as a souvenir whenever I go…
A fantastic new bride for Von Castine players?
I absolutely love this model. Now I need to figure out how to get her on a 20mm square base…
She looks kind of cool and burdened with all kinds of crap like everything else …
If you think this mini is burdened with all kinds of crap, I truly don’t know what minis satisfy you.
I missed the ‘not’ in my reply …
she is nice and clean compared to GW standard character design.
Not sure why she had to be on such a big base though.
Gotcha gotcha
You’re right though.
Not every mini is going to make everyone happy all of the time.
I do think that this one is proof that GW can tone down the excessive amount of ‘detail’ and still have a good model (even if the ‘hair’ has a touch too much ‘glue’ ;)).
I just wish they could do this for the entire range of this faction, because it looks really awkward compared to the rest.
