These guys look awesome. They look like they could be a powerful force. Also, I love the new perosnality trait.

So the bolt of witherwood is actually a Bullet from a what looks like a submachine gun?

Kyrie with a ranged attack = Bonus!

Squad special power actually reads kick when their down.

Not my favorite Hero/Squad Combo.

I like the squad's abilities even though the sculpts a little strange but the Hero's abilities are a little of a let-down after seeing all of the others so far.

Hero is well worth the points though, 90 pts for a flying range unit (5 attack with highground) is pretty good.

I guess i was hoping to see something a bit cheaper/simpler to make a full Kyrie army possible.


Add in Atlaga's ability to add 1 move to Raelin and other Kyrie squads (Sentinels and Minions) He's a great addition to armies by himself

Greetings, everyone.

A very elegant hero-slaying squad and hero. The sculpts look great and the powers are reasonable and effective/challenging. The only drawback, as with most fliers, is their cost.

How often will these units earn their keep (especially if the opponent holds back/doesn't have a/his hero) against ranged, squad-heavy armies? Nevertheless, lots of fun and no power creep.

Altaga can one-shot any one figure on the board? and it only cost 90pts?

No wonder Charos work for the same boss.

I'm not fond of Ullar's Bolt of the Witherwind.
"All or nothing" attacks has never been to my liking.
But overall I'm happy to see the Kyrie powers and stats go in line/theme with the previous Kyries. The sculpts are great and they are definitely going to be fun to play. Espicially against big guys...

WOW!

I was right! We are getting another preview today between 7:00 and 10:00. I like the combined arbalest power, with height, you can roll up to 15 dice for figure three, not counting Taelord or glyphs! Of course, you wont reach that many wounds on a figure. The most dice you can roll with existing figures on protector 3 is 15 dice factoring 7 inflicted wounds(+7), extreme height(+2), Taelord(+1), common attack(+1), and attack(+1), totaling 15 dice. Good riddance Hulk and Jotun! We have a general hero counter. I am glad I am focusing on swarm armies without soulborgs and only a couple heroes.
