Cryptguard

Cryptguards stand as the unwavering protectors of the abhorrants, vested with the task of defending their grotesque masters with a loyalty that borders on fanaticism. They are armed with what they believe to be the epitome of craftsmanship, weapons they perceive as masterpieces adorned with intricate filigree and imbued with lethal elegance. However, the harsh reality Paints a starkly different picture; their arms are nothing more than rusted relics, their once formidable blades now tarnished and soaked in the ichor of decay.

In the twisted minds of the Cryptguards, these weapons retain their former glory, a testament to the grandeur that once was. But to their enemies, they are dreadful implements of war, each slash and thrust carrying the risk of not just physical, but existential harm. The mere scratch from one of these corroded blades holds the power to unravel the sanity of even the bravest warriors, turning seasoned fighters into gibbering wrecks, lost to fear and madness.

This box set allows the assembly of 10 Cryptguards, offering a selection of weapons and heads to customize these ghastly guardians. Each model can be tailored to reflect the unique horror of the Flesh-eater Courts, with options for a champion to lead them, a standard bearer to rally them, and a musician to sound their macabre advance. These options not only provide variety in appearance but also enhance the unit's role on the battlefield, embodying the Cryptguards' dual function as both formidable combatants and symbols of the abhorrants' twisted nobility.

Assembled, the Cryptguards form a menacing phalanx, a grim reminder of the power and perversion of the abhorrants they serve. Each one, from the stoic champion to the eerie standard bearer, plays a crucial role in the dark Saga of the Flesh-eater Courts, a Saga where beauty and horror are intertwined, and where the line between the regal and the repulsive is forever blurred.
