Imagine having a nightmare about something like a Shadow Stalker with ten times as many Damage points, a 8AD beam instead of 3AD, range 30" instead of 18", and a big pulse type weapon for anyone who thinks it's a good idea to close to 20" to help break its stealth.
Meet your nightmare. :twisted: The Dark Knife is not as well armed as other Ancients but its speed and super manoeuvrability should make it more entertaining to play - at least it
can move around at a decent speed, unlike some of the others.
This is the AoG re-release. It's also upside down. Or rather, judging by the screenshot I took from "Into The Fire", the original model is upside down, as the one in the screenshot appears to have five discs on the lower half whereas the original model has five discs on the upper half. The model had a metal strip fixed to what was its bottom, which was supposed to go into AoG's little black hex base. The model would probably have been unstable on a base that size, plus the soft metal bends easily and the strip would eventually have snapped off. Since I wanted the base at the other end anyway, I snapped it off myself, cut a slot into the new bottom, and glued in a short Games Workshop stem with epoxy, which also served as filler around the stem top.
The colour scheme of olive drab with black markings and fluorescent yellow "lights" round some of the discs also comes from the screenshot from "Into The Fire".
