There are plenty of major Warhammer events each year, and to celebrate and support them, we release special edition miniatures that can be bought by attendees before anyone else. With AdeptiCon on the horizon in March, it’s time to announce the next two commemorative miniatures – the Hunter Strikes, and the Steel Rook.
The Hunter Strikes is a Kroot Carnivore caught mid-pounce, striking a mighty two-handed blow with the blade on his rifle. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the Kroot Hunting Pack army set that was just announced at the Las Vegas Open – this really is shaping up to be the year of the Kroot…
As you would expect from a commemorative miniature, this agile avian assailant is festooned with details – most of it edible, in this case. There’s a butchering knife, meathook, a nice bone and a rack of ribs being saved for later, plus a pouch and tools, presumably carrying seasoning.
The counterpart from the Age of Sigmar is a little better armoured, but still retains an avian demeanour. This is the Steel Rook, an alternate Arch-Knight for the Freeguild Command Corps. They continue the animal theme of the Arch-Knights, adding a third, bird option to the bear or fish knights you can build from the main Corps kit. They’re even accompanied by an actual rook, just in case the feathered fashion statements were too subtle.
This glorious pair will be available for the first time at AdeptiCon, which runs between the 20th and 24th of March in Schaumberg, Illinois in the USA, but they will be present at other major Warhammer events throughout the year and around the world.
