These models are the fire! Don’t miss the brand new Sylvaneth wood elf releases that dragging Age of Sigmar into the limelight this weekend!

The new kits for the Sylvaneth models are simply brilliant with an almost unprecedented level of attention to detail that has never been seen before in Citadel miniatures.

Each kit, sans Alarielle, has multiple builds or options for the units themselves with tons of accessory bits to personalize them just to your druish tastes.

Plus the have tons of options for posing possibilities as well, as these are for the most part truly multi-part pose-able kits. Each kit even comes with a full color instruction manual to aid assembly even further, and give you a hard copy of their warscroll rules as well.

Here you can see my personal favorite kit the new Kurnoth Hunters who have THREE built options that with a little work you may be able to represent all THREE variants on the tabletop by using the magic of magnets.
