INTERVIEW·WHITE DWARF 407

Doom and Darkness

November 2013·p. 144

THE SHORT VERSION

Mike Anderson uses jockey poses and billowing cloth to give Dark Riders speed. High collars connect them visually to other clandestine Elves. Cruelly altered horses and soulless eyes make their masters’ treatment visible. For the Warlocks, straggling hair and crude weapons replace disciplined equipment with signs of degeneration.

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.

Dark Riders

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.
