REVIEW·WHITE DWARF 407

Dark Riders

November 2013·pp. 7–9

THE SHORT VERSION

Scouts carry spears, shields and holstered crossbows beneath concealing scarves. Their saddle equipment suggests long independent patrols beyond friendly lines. Helmeted, bare and cowled heads offer varied personalities, while the Herald can carry an axe or crossbow. Branded, emaciated steeds reinforce the cruelty of their masters.

Doomfire Warlocks

Cursed sorcerers must replenish their failing souls through sacrifice to escape Slaanesh. The plastic riders express that fate through hollow eyes, ragged hair and crude blades. A masked Master adds an especially disturbing focal point. The review connects the figures to Malekith’s prophecy and the outlawed male sorcerers of Hag Graef.

Har Ganeth Executioners

Skull masks conceal the identities of the executioners while their two-handed draichs make their purpose clear. All wield the weapons left-handed, an unusual choice that helps distinguish the regiment. Cloaks disguise the kit’s assembly joins. Ten figures include command options and an amphora-like drum decorated with crossed blades.
