Sylvaneth – Kurnoth Hunters with Greatscythes
6" 5 4+ 2 The greatscythe is the weapon chosen by Kurnoth Hunters who show cool implacability and a desire to reap the greatest tally of kills. With a single sweep, these forest spirits can carve through multiple footsoldiers, and with their polearms’ hooked blades, they can drag cavalrymen from their saddles before ruthlessly dispatching them as they sprawl in the gore-sprayed undergrowth. | ||
