Deneb

Sculpt from the unaligned faction – Militiaman. Feedback welcome as always. In his design we’ve tried to show his solemn demeanour. Mourning the loss of his city as he knows it, but his quiet determination to try and restore as much as he can of what has been lost.

With Sul gone, and the city in the grip of forces the Militia have failed to control, many have given up. Some however still strive to protect the values of the city they call home. In doing so, they must be willing to forge alliances with whomever they think might further their cause.

The Deneb Militiaman is a member of the unaligned faction. The unaligned are a catch-all faction. For those assets which either due to being mindless constructs, or because their loyalty is easily bought, or otherwise fickle, might fight for just about any organisation at any-time.

The Militiaman is a strong alternative to a factions standard ACT 2 objective capturing unit. The Militiaman’s Obsidian staff can also really hamper an enemies ability to capture an objective by teleporting those it touches off the battlefield.

Sculpt from the unaligned faction – Sellsword. Feedback welcome as always. In his design we’ve tried to show both his bag of marks, and his mismatched armour. Bought, stolen or scavenged at various points in time in his life as a soldier of fortune.

Common as dirt and about as clean, they have moderate skill with a blade, no sense of belonging and a love for marks. These are not the trained and disciplined blades of a La’Certa private company, but they are dangerous nonetheless.

The Sellsword is a member of the unaligned faction. The unaligned are a catch-all faction. For those assets which either due to being mindless constructs, or because their loyalty is easily bought, or otherwise fickle, might fight for just about any organisation at any-time.

The Sellsword is an excellent choice for players who prefer to not make heavy use of the Marketplace or Upgrades. It gives you somewhere to spend your marks to directly power a model’s actions. Even if you do like spending marks, the Sellsword’s Pickpocket action can be used to take them from your opponent!

Sculpt from the unaligned faction – Wyrm Fury Crystal. Feedback welcome as always.

It is said that when the first dragons warred during the ancient times it was due to a curse put upon them by the first Witch. Some refused to partake in their noble races self-destructive rampage. The unilateral slaughter of kin disgusted them. Enraged by their perceived cowardice, many of their own brethren sought and slaughtered these pacifists. This act of fratricide was thought to have driven these mighty dragons mad with rage. They abandoned all reason and lost themselves in an endless blood lust. When they finally died in battle, their bodies wasted away. Where there should have been the rotting flesh of a once great heart, instead stood a pulsating red crystal, emanating unbridled fury.

Sculpt from the unaligned faction – Nautlus Crystal. Feedback welcome as always.

Shimmering blue, looming and smelling strongly of briny sea and salty breeze. An inauspicious offering from the great sleeping one, sent forth from the sunken city. Seen by many as exactly what the world needed to keep the magic of the Tower in check, but others have warned other to beware any gift from the abyssal depths.

Sculpt from the unaligned faction – Tempest Crystal. Feedback welcome as always.

Once held in the vaults of the La’Certa Royalty, a gift to the founders of the line in eons past. This bright yellow crystalline structure, all spikes and shards like an organic growth, large enough to be used as a throne at one point. The sparks of energy that leap from it’s surface, arcing towards any significant chunk of metal is one of the reasons why it was relegated to the vaults. Apparently an entire retinue of Knights guarding the King where left little more than smoking charred skeletons in their armour. The Tempest Crystal is a member of the unaligned faction.

The first sculpt from the unaligned faction – Black Oak Crystal. Feedback welcome as always.

The unaligned are a catch-all faction. For those assets which either due to being mindless constructs, or because there loyalty is easily bought, or otherwise fickle, might fight for just about any organisation at any-time.

The Black Oak Crystals are naturally crystallised from the sap of the great Black Oak, that lies at the heart of the Pallas Forest. Eight foot tall, a dark, almost black green gemstone held in place by a thick growth of gnarled tree trunks and heavy vines. Crafting these stones has long since been an ancient secret of the Coven. However after an unknown group used assassins to try and wipe out the Crone Council, Crone Annis modified the process and paved the way for these Crystals to be traded around the world as a ward against assassins

The 4th sculpt for the Ordo Draco – The Blitz Dragon Knight. Feedback welcome as always.

Of the hundred or so Ordo Draco who ride into battle atop a dragon, around half do so on the Blitz dragons. These dragons have the strongest flight muscles, the largest wings, and the greatest aerial skill. Like most dragons they can breathe fire, but not in quantity or temperature sufficient to be useful as a weapon in combat. With this model we are trying to tell the story of a dragon that has recently dropped off some Knights and is starting a strong wing downbeat to gain elevation.

The Blitz Dragon Knight is extremely mobile. Able to fly at various speeds and elevations giving maximum aerial flexibility whilst avoiding impassable and difficult terrain on the ground. The benefit of this is maximised through their ability to pick up allies and ferry them around the battlefield. Properly timed this can make the normally slow Knights feel able to get wherever they need to win, and do so in time. Blitz Dragon’s also make excellent objective grabbers due to their free flight movement. If they need to they can also pack a punch in combat able to deal damage to multiple enemies at once via Claw & Tail. They are a costly resource to field, but no Ordo Draco strike team is complete without at least one dragon.

The 3rd sculpt for the Ordo Draco – the Zweihander. Feedback welcome as always!

Only the largest and strongest of the Ordo Draco recruits ever master the great two-handed swords required to join the most aggressive Ordo Draco infantry; the Zweihanders. With this model we are trying to tell the story of one of these knights leaping through the air about to bring a devastating blow down on their enemy.

The Zweihander is a damage dealing machine. Able to deal out both area effect damage, and one of the highest damage single target actions in the game. With a cutting augment and proper formation the Zweihander can move and deliver a damage 3 strike that will crit-kill most enemies. Without careful planning they can be slow, so you need to keep that in mind. Fortunately, they are quite tough with VIG 2.
