This new multi-part plastic kit contains 10 cavalry figures that can be built as Skeleton Riders or Skeleton Horse Archers, each offering a different tactical option. Riders can be armed with a cavalry lance or sword to accompany their shields, and the kit includes interchangeable heads, making it easy to customize your undead hordes.
You can use these figures as a single unit of 10 or two smaller units of five, and each set of five contains enough pieces to build a complete command section including a champion, a musician* and a banner bearer – whether horsemen or horse archers.
As the unstoppable Khemrian legions advance with ranks of shielded warriors and regiments of archers filling the skies with deadly arrows, skeleton riders and horse archers fill a vital skirmishing role by using their raw speed to sweep through the enemy flanks before striking them where it hurts most. They are particularly effective at eliminating vulnerable war machine teams and support units, while your heavier units fight in the center of the field.
The new Skeleton Horsemen will soon spring into action. Take a copy of Warhammer: The Old World – Ravenous Hordes so that you have the necessary rules to use the new miniatures in your games.
*And for those wondering how a skeleton can blow a trumpet when it has no lungs, the answer is simple: magic.
