The Soulblight Gravelords get new champions; Cado Ezechiar, Sissendra, and Aurelias Hollow King models arrive in Age of Sigmar with a powerful Regiment of Renown!
Creaking bones and clattering armor signal the rise of new horrors for the Soulblight Gravelords. The Barrow Kingdoms march once more in the latest preview, but this time, they bring along some particularly well-known figures from Black Library fiction. Cado Ezechiar, the Hollow King, and his formidable allies step from the pages of Warhammer Age of Sigmar novels onto the battlefield, ready to carve a bloody path in the Mortal Realms.
Cado Ezechiar – The Hollow King Walks Again
It is is important to note that Cado Ezechiar isn’t your average vampire warlord. Once a noble, now a relentless hunter of those who serve the Dark Gods, he exists in a gray area between hero and monster. After losing his kingdom and family, he accepted Neferata’s gift of vampirism without hesitation. That choice led to his exile, and now he roams the realms seeking vengeance.
This new model captures his brooding presence, complete with his iconic flowing cloak and masterfully detailed armor. He’s a spellcaster with a brutal edge, commanding dark magics while remaining deadly in combat.
The Blades of the Hollow King Models– Cado’s Ruthless Inner Circle
Cado doesn’t fight alone. The Blades of the Hollow King box introduces three new models that bring both lethal skill and arcane power to the battlefield.
Sissendra, the Duellist
A vampire who has completely given in to the curse, Sissendra revels in the thrill of combat. Despite her bloodthirsty nature, Cado still feels responsible for her, having turned her long ago. Expect a model full of motion and deadly elegance.
Aurelias, the Death Mage
Unlike the others, Aurelias isn’t a vampire but a mortal agent of Neferata. His mastery of necromantic magic makes him a dangerous foe, and his twin-headed serpent, Kennistrix, ensures his mistress always knows Cado’s whereabouts.
How These Hollow King Models Play on the Tabletop
The Blades of the Hollow King aren’t just cool miniatures; they’re a fully playable Regiment of Renown. That means they can join forces with Flesh-eater Courts, Nighthaunt, and Ossiarch Bonereapers, bringing a unique combination of melee combat and magic to those armies. On their own, they serve as a devastating force within the Soulblight Gravelords, combining resilience, spellcasting, and sheer combat skill.
A Must-Have for Fans of Black Library & Warhammer Lore
<br>For those who have followed Cado Ezechiar’s story in The Hollow King and its sequel The Dead Kingdom, these models are a long-awaited treat. They bring a major character from the novels into the game, giving players the chance to field a legend of Warhammer fiction on the battlefield.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a fan of the books, looking for powerful additions to your army, or just want some stunning new vampire miniatures, these new Hollow king models deliver.
