The Blacktalons assassins are coming to life from the animations with the new Age of Sigmar models- check it out!
If you love the animation and the crazy adventures of the characters in the show, this is exactly what you want! There will be five models in the new set, and they say you will be able to dispatch them on missions of their own, but we’re not 100% sure about new rules for them.
Let’s get into the new models!
The Blacktalons Come to Life in the Age of Sigmar With New Models!
Here is the latest on the new Blacktalons assassins models from Warhammer Community.
These heroes were immortalised in the Warhammer+ show Blacktalon – and soon you will be able to dispatch them on perilous missions of your own devising with cool new models.
Neave Blacktalon is the leader, a force of nature who wields her Whirlwind axes and can ride the winds aetheric at great speed. Her long campaigns in Aqshy and Ghyran have made this Knight-Zephyros a legend, though the toll of reforging has reduced her to little more than a living weapon.
All the models are really cool, and if you play Stormcast or love the animation, then this will be a easy pickup,
In truth, Blacktalon wrestles with fractured memories – uncovering the truth of her past is the focus of her self-titled show.
Neave Blacktalon is a fascinating character, and they did a great job capturing her essence with this new model.
Neave’s mentor is Hendrick the Silver Wolf, a consummate warrior and a respected hero with many long centuries of hard-fought experience behind him. Long ago, he led the Blacktalons – named the Silverwolves under his command – but has utmost faith in Sigmar’s plans for Neave, and acts as counsel and strategist for the group.
Hendrick has all the weapons, and the wisdom to go with them. Neave needs a strategist for the group, and he fills the role perfectly.
Every bit as skillful as Neave, Shakana Goldenblade is the eagle-eyed sharpshooter of the group. She’s accompanied by her Star-eagle, Anda, and the pair act as scout and sniper, alerting the Blacktalons to incoming foes, thwarting ambushes, and unleashing flurries of supremely accurate arrows.
Shakana’s close relationship with Neave is often fraught with rivalry and resentment – she believes the impetuous Knight-Zephyros is too fast to throw her life away in the line of duty, despite the heavy toll inflicted by Reforging.
If you need an archer and a scout, she’s perfect and can hopefully keep the enemy at bay until you’re ready to attack.
Though the Blacktalons are known for swift and precise action, occasionally a profound application of force is the only way of getting the job done. Rostus Oxenhammer brings indomitable strength and unshakeable willpower to the group, a Paladin from Ghur armed with a massive grandhammer. He can always be found where the fighting is thickest, and while off duty is the jovial backbone of the group.
While they move fast, you always need some extra muscle, and Rostus is enough muscle for a whole army!
Lastly is Lorai, Child of the Abyss, an elegant Soulscryer who has worked with the Blacktalons for as long as anyone can remember. She is a talented soul-mage who lends her magical talents to tracking the group’s prey across the realms.
As an Idoneth sorcerer, Lorai has mastery over water in all its forms, while as a Soulscryer she can tune into the spirit and emotions of living creatures, and unleash obliviating magics that can warp and destroy mortal memories.
Last but not least, you get a sorcerer who can not only tune into animals but destroy enemies with her magic!
