Forge World have released a new figure in their Warhammer Forge fantasy range – Magisterix Elspeth von Draken on Carmine Dragon.
From their announcement:
For three generations, the noble and gutter-scum of Nuln alike have whispered tales of the ‘Graveyard Rose’ Elspeth von Draken, Magisterix of the Amethyst College and arch-wizard of the Lore of Death. Von Draken is born of a long bloodline touched by the Winds of Magic, a bloodline that has produced both heroes and monsters in its time, and the Dark Lady of Nuln is undoubtedly one of the most powerful Amethyst wizards of the age. Appearing as a spectre of death, gowned in robes so black as to be woven from shadow and bearing a keening scythe, forged with Dark magic, Magisterix von Draken has long been a hidden defender of the Empire, and her life and acts in its defence are shrouded in both secrecy and suspicion.
Magisterix Elspeth von Draken on Carmine Dragon is a magnificently detailed resin kit comprising both Trish Carden’s hugely popular, majestic, Carmine Dragon and Edgar Skomorowski’s jaw-droppingly detailed Magisterix von Draken. Sculpted side-saddle on a towering throne etched with detailed iconography of the Amethyst College and surrounded by alchemical familiar-cherubs, this amazing model is perhaps the most detailed character figure yet released by Warhammer Forge. Experimental rules (PDF link) for this potent wizard and her equally devastating mount can be downloaded from the Forge World website, taken from the forthcoming Warhammer Forge expansion book Tamurkahn: The Throne of Chaos, Magisterix Elspeth von Draken on Carmine Dragon is available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 25th July.
