Lumineth Realm-Lords: Vanari Bladelords

Soldiers and scholars in one whirling storm of steel. The Vanari Bladelords master combat as an art and study its theory just as hard, serving as warrior-guardians to the Scinari mystics. Armed with sunmetal greatswords, they cut a swathe through anyone foolish enough to threaten the sages they protect — elite infantry for a Lumineth army.

What's in the box

How they fight

• Switch between two combat styles — single, perfectly accurate heavy hits, or a whirlwind that punishes packed infantry
• Magic-woven back banners help shield them from enemy spells

Point them at the enemy's best unit and let the blades sing — few Lumineth choices feel as good to play or paint.

Supplied unpainted and unassembled. Glue and Citadel paints sold separately. Temporarily out of stock — an elite unit worth the wait.
