Thyra, Flame of Sorrow

A Daughters of the Flame warcaster... oh go on then, if you insist!
The frankly awesome Protectorate of Menoth are due to pick up a brand new assassin-style Warcaster in the new Wrath book.
Let's take a look at the description from Privateer Press and do a little speculating...
A fanatic assassin able to move between the bounds of life and death, Thyra, Flame of Sorrow is the peerless commander of the Daughters of the Flame. Her twin swords, Grief and Lament, weave a path of razor-edged destruction through the enemy ranks as she leads her sisters into battle. Thyra has become a living weapon of the Menite cause, her body and soul devoted to avenging the injustices carried out by those who oppose the Creator.
If she just turns out to be a suped-up Daughter of the Flame, she'll do for me. However, the description promises quite a bit more. I would assume she'll have an Elite Cadre ability to improve the Daughters of the Flame, but I would love to see a Warcaster with Berserk!
What do you guys think... would you like to see a warcaster that nuts?

She sounds interesting, and I think I’d quite like to see her two named swords with a diiferent ability each, ones that compliment each other. And she definatly needs some kind of movement in combat ability like Jump to fly in over units or just the usual move an inch after boxing a model
She might just get the Hyper Aggressive ability… which means she gets to move 1″ if she kills an enemy and there’s nothing else to attack.
Pathfinder, Acrobatic, Weapon Master, POW 12. Now THAT would be sweet. What do you think the reference “able to move between the bounds of life and death” means? Incorporeal?
Yeah… I would say she gets the Ghostwalk spell.
she looks good, along with the cryx wrath sculpt the new releases are looking really interesting
The pose is extremely dynamic, I’ll give you that ! Sure, the armor looks like it’s allowing for a lot of personal movement, against all odds, and the pieces of cloth are flowing all over the place in haphazardly fashion, responding to improbable winds… but it’s all right as long as the mini looks cool ! this is a magical world, after all…

I think when I put her together, I will omit the back banners… They don’t seem to fit.
Nice to see a Menoth Caster without as mask.. it would be more awesome if she’s also a weapons master… being an assassin and all…
