About the game
Mindstealer Sphiranxes are powerful and sinister telepaths. These cruel-hearted beasts enjoy nothing more than toying with their prey, plundering their innermost secrets before summarily ripping them to shreds with sharpened claws. This set lets you add a sinister Mindstealer Sphiranx to your Chaos warbands in Warcry – provided you’re bold enough to try and tame one! Thanks to the included fighter and abilities cards, adding the Mindstealer Sphiranx to your battles is simple. This model can also be added to a Slaves to Darkness army for Warhammer Age of Sigmar army, where it’s a valuable support choice capable of shutting down key enemies and forcing them to fight last. A choice of head and horn assembly options even gives you some choice when building this hypnotic horror! This set is supplied in 22 plastic components and includes a 90mm oval base. It also includes a fighter card and an abilities card for the Mindstealer Sphiranx. —description from the publisher
