Isaiah, Dread Harvester – Grymkin Solo (resin/metal)
PIP 76037 MSRP: $37.99
Among the dread rots of the grymkin, there is one dark soul spoken of in hushed tales meant to terrify misbehaving children. His name is Isaiah, and they call him the Dread Harvester. Myths claim that dread rots visit the wicked and exploitative mortals living in rural areas, claiming them as their own, but the folklore surrounding Isaiah is far more brutal.
It is believed that Isaiah punishes not just the wicked individual but the entire community for allowing such sins to take place without retribution or justice. The stories say entire villages will vanish on those cursed nights when Isaiah and his legion of dread rots come to pay a visit.
TRADE POINTS: Isaiah is a Grymkin dragoon solo, meaning he begins the game mounted on his frightmare steed and then has a separate model for if he becomes dismounted. Like other Dread Rots, Isaiah is capable of collecting corpses and giving them to other models in the Grymkin army, but Isaiah is also an excellent support model and combat solo to lead Dread Rots into battle.
His Leadership [Spectral Onslaught] ability makes it so that he, and any nearby Dread Rots, gain the Ghostly ability when charging, allowing them to ignore both terrain and free strikes when doing so. In his mounted form, Isaiah cuts through enemies with his Wicked Scythe, while in his dismounted form he throws his own severed pumpkin head at them, turning any he destroys into Dread Rots for nearby units. This solo works best when paired with at least one unit of Dread Rots (PIP 76015).
Defiled Archon – Grymkin Solo (resin/metal)
PIP 76038 MSRP: $39.99
Above all things, the grymkin despise Menoth and his creations. When the infernals invaded and the gods of Caen began to unleash their Archons into the mortal world, it is no surprise that the grymkin viewed the Menite Archon with equal measures of contempt and sadistic curiosity. As the forces of Menoth were embattled, protecting the souls of the faithful from the infernals, the grymkin managed to capture a few Menite Archons and drag them down into their nightmarish reality.
Time passes differently on the other side, so no one can be sure how long these Menite Archons truly suffered for—all that’s known is what emerged after: twisted mockeries of Menoth, clad in blasphemous armor, reading heretical versions of the Canon of the True Law, and borne aloft on wings of screaming flesh. Thus, the Defiled Archons have been set lose on Caen to wreak havoc and punish the wicked.
TRADE POINTS: Defiled Archons are powerful Grymkin solos that excel at spellcasting. In comparison to all other Archons released for other Factions, the Defiled Archon is the “wizard” or, in this case, “evil priest.” Each Archon has innate boosted magic attack and damage rolls, is capable of casting two spells a turn, and can teleport after casting a spell once per activation. This makes the Defiled Archon an unpredictable threat that can be hard to pin down as it flies around the battlefield, Desecrating the ground and burning its foes with Hellfire.
Unlike other Archons, the Defiled Archon does not protect the souls of friendly models but instead punishes enemies who claim souls for their own. Additionally, any model hit by one of the Defiled Archons spells suffers the Arcane Attraction penalty, granting Grymkin warlocks and other spellcasters additional range on their spells when targeting that model. Abilities such as this make the Defiled Archon an excellent addition to any Grymkin army and theme force, and it works well with any warlock in the army such as The Heretic (PIP 76004) or The Dreamer (PIP 76003).
