That is the Retailer Anniversary Particular Version Miniature from 2024. I picked it up nearly a yr in the past when the brand new Warhammer Retailer in Saskatoon celebrated it is first anniversary. The second is developing quickly and there are extra retailer anniversary particular version miniatures, certainly one of which I used to be considering of choosing up… and I figured I could not justify to myself doing so if I hadn’t completed the one from final yr…
Auric Runesmiter
The determine was named “Brakki the Guilded Key”, however I do not suppose that is really a personality from any tales from the black library or a named character of any type from the Fyreslayer battletome… so I am simply going to make use of it as a generic Auric Runesmiter… ought to I ever want one.
To be sincere, I am not 100% certain what an Auric Runesmiter really does for a residing… although I’ve a sense it could be the dude that hammers ur-golf runes into the pores and skin of Fyreslayer warriors that give all of them their powers and stuff…? I am additionally fairly certain they seem to be a playable Archtype in Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound. So I although it will be enjoyable to choose up for that… simply in case anybody ever wished to run one.
I haven’t got quite a lot of Fyreslayers… the one different ones I’ve are The Chosen Axes Warhammer Underworlds Warband… Which is loads, for me…
There is part of my mind that thinks it will be enjoyable to have one miniature for every playable archtype in Soulbound… however as they’re nearly alway Hero-Character fashions… that would get fairly costly… Even when they weren’t, since you may’t purchase (or subject within the recreation) something lower than a full unit, it will get to be loads to gather them ALL!
The brand new Age of Sigmar Retailer Anniversary Particular Version Miniature for 2025 is a Knight-Zephyros – certainly one of Sigmars Hunter/Assassins… They seek out evil chaos sorcerers… and kill them… although I’ve seen the time period murderer used to explain them, I do not suppose stealth or subtlety is their method… I feel there could be stats for them in Soulbound… however I do not suppose there are any for normal tabletop Age of Sigmar… aside from Neve Blacktallon – a named character, who comes with a bunch of strange associates!?
Anyway, it is a neat trying mannequin and I will in all probability decide it up…
(There’s additionally a 40K mannequin – a genestealer holding a marine helmet… and… truthfully… if we had been often enjoying House Hulk, I might completely get that too! However we have not performed in ages, so…)
