January 2017·pp. 50–55

Kairic Acolytes

Outwardly ordinary cultists become masked, physically transformed warriors when the Arcanite cult reveals itself. The plastic kit’s cursed weapons, shields, dark scrolls and magic-eating vulcharcs give the new infantry a distinctive combination of martial and sorcerous imagery.
