  • Sered and Syhar Sighthound preview

    Rackham have posted previews of the Sered and Syhar Sighthound figures for Confrontation.

    From their announcement:

    A sneak preview of the next version of the Templar commander for the Griffin army. Soon available in plastic, assembled and painted!

    ” Sered is an Incarnate who has several faces: he is a hand to hand fighter, a commander and a faithful. To make the most of all this potential, he needs a proper escort: his unit needs to be as big as possible and powerful enough to sustain the efforts Sered demands of them. This Incarnate also needs his men to fuel his communions. Sered is a powerful fighter: the commander should have no scruples about sending him to the front line to smite the enemy with the power of Merin. He is the ideal mage hunter, since one of his artifacts protects him against mystic effects. ”

    Exclusive miniatures for the Scorpion army soon available for Confrontation: the Age of the Rag´narok. Here is a preview of these creatures.

    “Carried by the wings of science, Syhar sighthounds are the desert´s eyes, greedily tracking the enemies of the Syhar with a taste for carnage inspired by technomancy rather than instinct. The wings of the Syhar sighthounds carry them with lightning speed wherever the enemy tries to run. Mobility is the first quality of the Syhar sighthounds. No-one is safe from their claws or fangs. Even heavily armored fighters, though relatively protected, find themselves bogged down with the time it takes to get rid of these tough creatures. The slower Scorpion troops then have the time to join the fray and massacre the surviving opponents.”

    There are three photos of Sered (1, 2 and 3) as well as three additional photos of the Syhar Sighthound (1, 2 and 3)

    I really like the Sighthounds. Sered is good to. Can’t wait for these to come out.


    The Grey Knight says:

    The metal Sered was one of the best Giffin miniatures, the new one is really a step back. The pose is a bit “funky”, and the armour on the legs looks to much like power armour.

    Strangly the hounds still hold the same feeling as the metal ones though.


    Marauder says:

    I agree that the old Sered was a better model, but I’m glad this one is different. The old one had lots of details, that probably would have made it difficult to pre-paint. The old one is still around for those that want to pick it up and paint it. If you love Sered and want two poses, than you can pick up both!

    The old metal figure was difficult enough to paint. Mine is still primed.


    Zomboner says:

    I think the sighthounds look great! The first plastic Rackham minis that I’ll probably buy!

    Man, Sered is such a letdown. I’m almos sorry to be selling my painted metal one. He was an absolutel joy to paint, but I’m sticking with my Lions of Alahan and Devourers of Vile-Tys.


    Dr.Mercury says:

    I really really do not like that Sered.
    The hound looks awesome though!


    gavroche says:

    The dog is nice. I might buy it. Looks like it’ll go nicely with the classic metal dirz dogs.
