Warthrone Brings A Master Mason & A Lady Of War To Battle
February 16, 2016 by brennon
Avatars Of War have added a pair of new heroes to their line for Warthrone. Both slender and stout are the order of the day here with both the Lady of War and the Dwarf Master Mason taking different outlooks on conflict...
Lady Of War
Kicking things off we have the Lady of War for your chaotic factions. She comes with two weapons and has two head options. The first of these is the demonic helmet and the second is her wild haired version with a bare head.
I think that she would work well within a Khornate warband as she has the look of someone who enjoys combat. In saying that she could probably work within Slannesh and Tzeentch too with the right scheme.
I'd actually love to see her hair done in strange colours if she was fighting for Tzeentch. I'd be tempted to paint the blades in the same way too to make them look more magical.
Master Mason
Following on from her and with his mind very much within a tankard of ale we have the Master Mason for your Dwarf armies.
These Master Masons travel around the Dwarven lands and beyond with an aim to bring regular architects and other skilled craftsmen under his wing so he can teach them the ways of tempering magic. I think he'd make a great adventurer in his own right as well as when part of an army.
Which of the two do you prefer?

The lady of looks like Red Sonja, which is cool.
She looks pretty damn good!
Those are really good looking sculpts.
not a fan of the full plate assless chaps
Sometimes, PCs just forget to put on pants.
I thought everyone forgot to put on pants every now and then. Or is it just me? 🙁
Nothing says Dwarven Warrior quite like a warhammer in one hand, a jug of ale in the other, and a slightly inebriated expression. Likewise, nothing says fanatical servant of a brutal warrior god like a… combat thong? Nope, that’s not right…
War game artists and sculptors everywhere should probably watch the following video.
On repeat.

Wow I must say I am very surprised by the lack of hate for the female warrior ? Prodos makes a sculpt with under boob and people lose their shit but avatars of war makes a female with her Arsenal hanging out and a impractical breastplate and people are fine…….and I’m sorry but it just doesn’t sit right.
But I do like the sculpts and look forward to possibly picking one up as I am now doing D&D and they might be useful
Let’s be fair to Prodos:
They took the name of a property aimed at 10 year olds and created a game that featured full frontal nudity (their ‘terminators’) persumably marketing it to the mid-thirties gamers that played it when we were young.
What does this say about the community? At least that rule 34 makes people upset, at the very least.
Cause this is a nice sculpt period. Don’t like it don’t buy it. If keyboard warriors want to save the world instead of clicking on silly online petitions and crying about your hurt feelings try going out and volunteering and work with the homeless and others in real need. Though I guess that would mean getting of one’s ass and doing some real work so ya, just sit in front of your keyboards and accuse others of misogyny and what other keywords you can use to shut down a real debate.
Why do you assume that people who care about misogyny don’t also engage in volunteer work? How do you know? Psychic powers? It is quite possible to care about, and take action with regard to, more than one issue at the same time you know. Equally why do you arbitrarily identify volunteer work with the homeless as making a meaningful difference while acting as if opposing one of the most widespread and societally toxic forms of bigotry in our culture is a waste of time or somehow harmful? It is not as though misogynistic representations of women in all forms… Read more »
Lady of War would make an awesome Slaanesh lord.
Yeah- I think Sigvald the Magnificent also refuses to put on pants before heading out to war.
He gets a cape, though, so we only get to see one cheek.
Add a cape to this if you’re not into a bit of cheek.
Sigvald the Magnificent has a weird “no armour around biceps” thing going on …
Wonderful models.
THAT is how you make a dwarf btw.
I suspect the Lady is also aimed at being an -also- proxy for a Witch Elf thus the sensual nature.
ugh, more of this? well said @vetruviangeek. Hopefully this kind of thing this becomes more of a boutique or niche product. I fully support people with armour having it over vitals or soft spots. @Poosh that’s sort of part of the problem. Every small mini company copies or pays homage to the same sort of late 80s early 90s version of a women. Look at the thong its the dead give away. Modern thongs don’t look or sit like that, Again fine as a niche product. Personally I think it’s time the hobbies view of women evolved. At the very… Read more »
This is where I roll my eyes.
very nice sculpture but bikini armour again, pass. I am just tierd of naked and half naked women minis, I want something more realistic please.
