Kragnos the End of Empires

Kragnos

Kragnos is a deity of earthquakes and upheavals. He was a member of the mortal race known as the Drogrukh who ascended to deity during the Ancient Age of Myths, but were magically imprisoned in a mountain due to Lord Kroak's intervention. After Alarielle performed her life ritual, he was released into the realms, sparking the Era of the Beast.

Millennia had passed since Kragnos' imprisonment, and though he had been rendered comatose by the spell that bound him, his destructive impulses were somehow unquenched. He dreamed of laying waste to all who would escape his mace, smashing cities and pounding chasms in the earth to bring down the works of those who would resist him. As the Drogrukh god languished in the rocky womb of Twinhorn Peak, empires in the mortal realms rose and fell as the ages of myth, chaos, sigmar, and the wars of souls passed.

However, the Ritual of Life performed by Alarielle caused him to awaken. The life magic caused the many trees surrounding the mountain to dig their roots into it and invade the prison of Kragnos. It then seeped into him, infusing him with strength and vitality enough to smash through the mountain in an act of elemental ferocity. The pounding of his hooves echoed in the minds of greenskins—especially Bonesplitterz—across Ghur, causing them to be instinctively drawn to him.

After awakening, Kragnos decided to find the remnants of his people and destroy the city of Excelsis for daring to invade his homeland. In the process, he amassed a small band of Gargant followers. Upon realizing that Done was destroyed, he went into a rage and only saw the WAAAGH! Gathered by Gordrakk to test his godbeast battering ram. He took this as an insult and fought the Ironjaw leader. After defeating Gordrakk, he assumed leadership of the Horde and led them to Excelsis.

Kragnos lead the WAAAGH! to the city that had just fallen victim to a Skaven attack. He personally intervened in the later phase of the siege, followed by a horde of Gore-Grunta cavalry. He proceeded to create a hole in the walls of Excelsis, previously weakened by the Skaven attack and the efforts of the WAAAGH! himself. Upon entering Excelsis, Kragnos wreaked havoc throughout the city before being tricked by Morathi and Lord Kroak, who conjured up an image of the Draconith. Enraged, he charged at them and was unknowingly teleported via Ghur to the swamps of Thondia, where he was sighted by a tribe of Kruleboyz.

Kruleboyz: Some Kruleboyz orruks nominally worship Kragnos. However, they do so either to avoid his wrath or because they see him as a means to an end. The Kruleboyz of Thondia are trying to poison the continent, causing the land that once housed Donse, home of Kragnos, to be pulled apart and the god of earthquakes going into such a rage he would start a WAAAGH! that would take them through the realms.

This kit comes in 74 plastic components that allow you to build one Kragnos, the End of Empires. Multiple build options are available, such as three different faces and two different neck and head poses (allowing him to look left or right). The model is supplied with your Citadel 130mm Round Base.
