A master of the Hurakan temple, Thyrielle travels across the realms, urging the air aelementors to rise up against the forces of darkness. She is guided on this quest by the vulpine spirit Tzul, who can sense minute fluctuations in the wind currents. The sightless archer Orieth calls upon these slipstreams to see his arrows find their mark, while the acolytes Sirikith and Anara seek to attune their own elemental senses through hard-fought experience. This multipart plastic kit builds Thyrielle's Zephyrites – a complete warband for use in games of Warhammer Underworlds. It comes with fighter cards and warscroll cards for the warband. Thyrielle's Zephyrites are a Mastery-style warband that would synergise well with Mastery decks, available separately. This set contains 5 plastic miniatures: 1 Sirikith 1 Orieth 1 Anara 1 Thyrielle 1 Tzul This set also includes: 4 double-sided fighter cards 7 warscroll cards (in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese) —description from the publisher
