REVIEW·WHITE DWARF 398

Knights of Rivendell

February 2013·pp. 30–31

THE SHORT VERSION

The six plastic Knights charge on running horses with their cloaks swept backwards. Elaborate armour, lances and shields retain the visual language of Rivendell. Spare components allow a Captain and banner bearer to be identified within the warband, and fallen Knights add scenic possibilities. The review highlights both the movement of the figures and their straightforward construction.

Slaughterbrute and Mutalith Vortex Beast

Two builds from one plastic kit embody different kinds of Chaos horror. The Slaughterbrute combines immense limbs and an expressive head with the blades of a binding ritual embedded in its back. The Mutalith replaces ordinary anatomy with tentacles and a conspicuous orb of raw magic. A fold-out display introduces the creatures in more detail, noting alternative heads and the unused vortex’s potential as an objective or conversion component.

Dragon Ogres

The new plastic Dragon Ogres combine heavy upper bodies with three distinct reptilian forms. Weapon choices range from paired hand weapons to enormous two-handed blades and hammers. Scarred faces, fins, scales and spines create variation while retaining the creatures’ shared identity. The review highlights their imposing size and the parts that distinguish a Shartak from the rest of the regiment.

Chaos Chariot and Gorebeast Chariot

A single kit produces either a horse-drawn Chaos Chariot or its heavier Gorebeast counterpart. Alternative yokes, front panels and impact weapons change the vehicle’s silhouette as well as its draught creature. Numerous heads and weapons allow the crew to show allegiance to particular gods or suggest a character mount. The review draws attention to the armour, scars and blades that make both versions look built for violence.
