Today I’ve got another sweet Forge World unboxing video for you on Elspeth Von Draken on Carmine Dragon.
Recently, Forge World put out this kit as a new release from their Warhammer Forge side of things, and it’s one of the better dragons I’ve seen in awhile.
Even more recently, they followed this kit up another dragon, Warpfire Dragon that is pretty hot too.
Apparently Elspeth is a bad, bad, girl. She’s basically the mistress of death in the Warhammer World, which I think is pretty cool.
The Kit
Elspeth Von Draken available for 70 pounds (~$111) from Forge World.
Appearing as a spectre of death, gowned in robes so black as to be woven from shadow and bearing a keening scythe forged with Dark magic, Magisterix von Draken has long been a hidden defender of the Empire, and her life and acts in its defence are shrouded in both secrecy and suspicion.
This model is a complete resin kit that depicts Elspeth von Draken riding a Carmine Dragon side saddle. She is seated on a towering throne etched with detailed iconography of the Amethyst College and surrounded by alchemical familiar-cherubs. -Courtesy FW’s site
Unboxing
For now though, enjoy the video. Oh and don’t forget to checkout my unboxing of the newest 40k flyer, the Storm Eagle from last week. -MBG
