REVIEW·WHITE DWARF 401

Sisters of Avelorn

May 2013·pp. 16–17

THE SHORT VERSION

The alternate build from the Shadow Warrior kit creates ten guardians of Avelorn. Their magical bows require no ordinary quivers and make an immediate visual distinction from the other unit. Flowing clothing and open faces give the figures a lighter appearance. The High Sister leads a force tied to the Everqueen’s sacred homeland.

Opening Salvo

Jes Bickham introduces a High Elf release led by flying monsters and an airborne chariot. Matt Hutson brings the new army against Ogres in the battle report. Dragon history and sculpting interviews place those models in a wider fantasy tradition. Dreadnought and Titan collections supply a contrasting mechanical theme elsewhere in the issue.

Flamespyre Phoenix and Frostheart Phoenix

Mark Harrison’s Phoenix kit turns one creature into two different stages of a magical life cycle. The younger Flamespyre burns with vigorous magic, while the older Frostheart draws heat from its surroundings. Alternative parts, a mounted Anointed and a foot model offer several ways to use the kit. Extended fold-out descriptions also introduce Caradryan’s named Frostheart mount, Ashtari.

Lothern Skycutter

The Skycutter combines an elegant boat-like chariot with a large Swiftfeather Roc. Alternative positions for the bird’s legs, head and wings help vary the assembled model. Three crew and an optional bolt thrower distinguish its transport and weapons arrangements. A Sea Helm can command from aboard the craft or stand separately on foot.
