Taekolta - Argol

The Coalescence is, by its very nature, a wholly deadly place. Its barren, frostbitten lands are anathema to life, and in desperation, some venture into the forests to survive, seeking refuge and food among the trees.

Many, however, never return, for a horror stalks the woods. The Skjalos know it as the Woodland Shade; the Iokeans call it the Night Warden; the Aventine simply whisper of it as the Butcher. The Nyskolta alone call it by name - Argol, the father of murder, and spawn of the great enemy.

Even they, though his devout, dare not seek the creature out, for its domain lies deep within the pines, a kingdom of one, set in a forest of wilted trees whose verdance has been lost amidst the gore of thousands dead, hung between the branches. Within that cursed place lies only the eternal aroma of rot and decay, a land so corrupted by the presence of a creature so anathema to life that it is said the winds dare not blow, nor the birds sing, for fear that Argol’s wrath might follow.

Kit Contents

• One core Argol model.
• Three left arm options - one raised, one at rest, and one carrying a dismembered Storm Navigator.
• Optional additional dismembered Storm Navigator parts.
• One hexagonal 125mm base with mounting points for three 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.

Skjalos Guard - Samara Battle Tank

Ancient vehicles hailing from a time of expansion and progress, the Samara tanks were designed during the distant age of the Skjalos Guard - an age of mighty generals, conquering the world and building an empire.

As the years have worn on, many such vehicles have fallen into disrepair, each an analogue to the Skjalos Empire as it stands: venerable echoes of legend, poised at the edge of oblivion. These war machines have since been replaced by newer vehicles, less intensive to produce, but equally less destructive, designed more as patrol vehicles than battle tanks. As such, the Samara is rarely seen anywhere but settlements far from the heart of the Sykaran wastes, but those still operable are all that most commanders require, able to lay waste to any would-be invaders with the generous application of heavy incinerators.

Kit Contents

• One turret and turret weapon option.
• One hull section.
• One left track, included as a single part or as two-part sections for ease of painting.
• One right track, included as a single part or as two-part sections for ease of painting.
• One hull-mounted casemate weapon.
• One hexagonal 40mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.

Iokean Peacekeepers

Guardians ancient beyond mortal memory, the warriors of Ioke have ever been renowned as the most powerful protectors of humanity, each sworn to keep the Creed Iokane until their very last breath. Yet, each has tread beside the weary path of humanity, step by step, to its invariable doom, each a witness to unconscionable acts of horror in the name of survival, of a greater good, or as an offering to a deity born of blood and death.

Though the Creed Iokane must be upheld at all costs, an oath to preserve human life from itself has been borne more bitterly by some than others, and when called to settle matters between human settlements in the Sunderlands, rumours alone of the impending presence of Peacekeepers are often enough to quell many a dispute.

A breed apart from most in the Iokean Dominions, Peacekeepers specialise and thrive in the destruction of human settlements whose demise has been deemed necessary. Brandishing huge mauls and incinerators, and each standing twice the height of their prey, Peacekeepers leave any such settlement in silence, but for the crackling of burning bodies.

Kit Contents

• Five body options.
• One incinerator option for each body.
• One hammer option for each body.
• One circular 40mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.
• One hexagonal 40mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.

In addition, the following extras are included: five bodies with pre-assembled bodies and arms.

Navigators in Storm Armour

Originally equipped for the excavation of vital materials and relics of the Primordial Imperium, the Navigators of the Aventine Dynasties were equipped in storm armour to protect them from not only the dangers of mining, but also the dangers of those things that linger in the deep. The Aventine fleet and army rely so heavily upon ancient technologies scattered in the ground that even in the harshest climates, excavation teams are sent out on recovery missions on event the slightest hint or rumour.

Clad in armour to shield them from even the most aggressive environments, Storm Navigators have also, in times of direst need, functioned as part of war efforts, as heavy troops. Though rotary weapons are part of their standard gear anyway, even their excavation tools - ion lasers and heavy drills - are deadly even as repurposed weapons.

Kit Contents

• Five body options.
• One drill option for each body.
• One gatling cannon option for each body.
• One ion cannon option for each body.
• One hammer option for the Navigator Captain.
• Two options for arm gestures for the Navigator Captain.
• One circular 32mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.
• One hexagonal 32mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.

In addition, the following extras are included: an ion cannon, a drill and a gatling cannon, detached from arms.

Employed exclusively for those deemed beyond salvation, the Aphaera Gunship first appeared shortly after the Covenants of Astyri encountered the Skjalos Guard for the first time.

After discovering most, but not all, of their emissary strewn over several miles of the Sykaran Wastes, the Aphaera was built, specifically for the purpose of destroying the Skjalos Guard. Equipped with four laser destructors and a rad-missile bay, it marks one of the most heavily armed craft the Covenants have yet fielded, ideal for obliterating enemy fortifications with its las-fire, then turning its occupants slowly and excruciatingly into bubbling pools of viscera.

As heavily armoured as it is armed, the Aphaera is hardly a craft designed for speed or dogfighting, but its omnidirectional engines grant it a near unmatched ability to quickly reposition and fire at incoming enemies.

This kit includes:

• One Aphaera Gunship
• One flight stand for mounting the gunship to a base.
• One circular 160mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.
• One hexagonal 160mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.

When a settlement is approached by an Iconoclast, an emissary of Astyri, an offering is made: to join with the hosts of Kolym Hysta, and become part of a Covenant, to be saved from the curse of mortality and blessed with life eternal.Those that accept this offering join the ranks of the Minatarii - unknowingly volunteering to an eternity as a footsoldier, a single cog in the great war machine of Astyri.

Retaining but a small fragment of their autonomy, these Minatarii are armed with blades or heavy weapons, and layers of steel are bolted into their very bones as armour.

As the flesh decays, through the inconveniences of war and age, it is amended as needed with metal, until all that remains is their mind - a thing so ruined by an eternity of war without rest or respite, that if it even could think for itself, it would have nothing of its humanity remaining.

This kit builds a total of ten miniatures.

This kit includes:

• Fourteen head options.
• One torso.
• One backpack.
• Ten pairs of legs.
• Five pairs of arms with rail rifles, posed at different angles.
• Five pairs of arms with phase carbines, posed at different angles.
• Four pairs of arms with Ochystan blades, posed at different angles.
• One left arm with a phase carbine.
• One right arm with an Ochystan blade.
• One circular 28.5mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.
• One hexagonal 28.5mm base with a mounting point for 5mm diameter x 2mm thick cylindrical magnets.

Arms, torsos and legs are interchangeable, and can be mirrored in your slicing software of choice to create a more diverse set of models.

In addition, the following extras are included: a phase carbine, Ochystan blade and rail rifle, detached from arms.

Where the Legionary fires their rifle, the Ymirae tears a man limb from limb or an Åselon spews forth a wave of bullets, the Cenobite covens unleash their mystic might to devastate their foes. Manifesting sorcerous bolts of flame and rending unfortunate warriors into shreds of meat and bone with telekinetic mysticism, the Cenobites are the Skjalos Guard’s war-casters, drawing the power of fallen spirits and wielding them as a potent weapon.

This kit contains all the required components to build 1 Skjalos Guard Cenobite. The body, both arms and the head are also included as seperate components, and are interchangeable with other Skjalos Guard infantry kits.

This model stands approximately 58mm tall, and is designed to fit on a 32mm circular/30mm hexagonal base.

Scouring any darkfrost deserts, mountains of steel and ice, even crossing the still seas of ice, the Haratarii warclades make their hunting grounds. A single quarry, a target given directly by the distant mind of Kolym Hysta, is tracked and followed relentlessly by these pursuing executioners. Wielding powered demiglaives or a two-handed blade, these are solely equipped and dedicated for combat, slicing through anything that comes between them and their target. Stalking it for mile upon mile, unrelenting and undaunted by any challenge, like lightning they strike, rushing their target with unnatural speed turning it (and any in the vicinity) into a little more than a visceral marker where they once stood.

This kit contains all the required components to build 10 Covenants of Astyri Haratarii with either glaives or two demiglaives.

These models stand approximately 45mm tall, and are designed to fit on 40mm circular/40mm hexagonal bases.

Making up the bulk of the Skjalos Guard are the Legionaries: footsoldiers equipped with a variety of ranged and melee weapons, ready for long expeditions into the icy wastes of the North. Despite their being the most conventionally equipped warriors at the disposal of the Skjalos Empire, their predisposition towards close quarters warfare should never be underestimated - though disciplined warriors, they, like their commanders, make war on the battlefield in a way more akin to barbaric killers than organised soldiery; rushing forward and perhaps shooting as an afterthought, before getting stuck into their foe with axe, bayonet and blade, and in many cases simply bludgeoning their opponents into a bloodied mess with their rifles or bare hands if the chance arises.

This kit contains all the required components to build 10 Skjalos Guard Legionaries.

This kit comprises ten pairs of legs, seven head options, 9 torso options, and multiple posed pairs of arms for wielding axes, maces, las-pistols, blister pistols, shotpistols, flame pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, shotrifles, blister rifles and assault rifles, plus a host of additional items to customise your models with: holstered versions of each weapon, grenades, radios, machetes, meat cleavers, binoculars and canteens.

These models stand approximately 35mm tall, and are designed to fit on 32mm circular/30mm hexagonal bases.
