Spirit of the Woods Syl-Iriah from Raging Heroes is now shipping!

Syl-Iriah embodies the forces and magic powers of the forest and, with her unique silhouette, she stands out on the battlefield and commands attention.

She comes in two versions and many accessories:

- Legendary Syl-Iriah is perfect to represent the avatar of a goddess character or to be used as a count-as for any large monster/creature in your army. She towers above the battlefield 170mm high and can fit on a 40x40mm base.

- Heroic Syl-Iriah is certainly the most impressive character to lead a footmen unit. She can be used as a sorceress or as any supernatural warrior. Standing 100mm tall and fitting on a 20x20mm base, she can also make a very elegant and striking general.
Renew

- Both versions come with three left and three right arms that hold two swords, a lance, a magical staff, a harp, and a bow.

Here she is in both Heroic (100mm tall) and Legendary (170mm tall) versions:

Oh look. It's Ariel by any other name.

Nice sculpt though.

Ariel had three pairs of wings, an impressive rack... of antlers, vines growing on her swirling dress, and a giant spear/lance/sword/harp? Man, I know it's been a while since I've seen the movie but I didn't think my memory was all that bad!

Goon.

HUGE fan of you guys' stuff! Wish the conversion rate wasn't so killer in general to buy things in pounds, but your models certainly are eye-candy!!

Well since GW don't issue an Ariel fgure...
Which was not the greatest imho but it must have been one of the early editions, by today's standards not many have aged well.

some sweet stuff on the site
This Minion musician is intruiging:

But it looks like the rider is bumming the beast?

Think you really need to study anatomy more carefully

Who runs bartertown?

I made the mistake of pulling the site up with my wife looking over my shoulder. Looks like painting a couple of thier minis is in my future!

Looks like I'm going to be collecting Wood Elves...

Now, if only someone made amazing looking Treefolk so I could use them for Treekin counts-as...


That would be very cool.

Nice model.. The harp option is amusing

Lets see, in the middle of a battle you can choose between a sword, a lance, a bow, a staff or a harp.. Time to jam out while the enemies kill you!

Harp of Entrancement.
40pts
Once per battle, Syl-Iriah may play the lament of the woods, all enemies in range of this haunting tune pause in sudden and overwhelming sense of loss.
All enemy units and characters in 12 of Syl-Irah must make a leadership test or not move, shoot or charge in the next turn, units will defend themselves in cc as normal but with a -1 to WS.

I like the harp!

Perhaps you underestimate the power of a bard.

No joke! I would buy at least 2-3 units.

Her new rules wouldn't limited to just her harp. Back when she was first announced we had some fun in the Warhammer Proposed Rules section, she was one of the many homebrew big scary things we felt the game was missing.

Edit: Raging Heroes just released a newsletter announcing Syl-Iriah shipping out, and with it a nice 10% off coupon for those who did not take advantage of the original pre-order discounts, simply use the discount code: Syl-Iriah

That might help out your conversion rate woes RiTides

That's funny, pulling up the site would have the opposite effect on my wife (due to cost, not coolness factor)

Indeed, if only! Perhaps someone will think of this soon...

And I agree, that was a perfect opportunity for a David Bowie pic AgeOfEgos

Edit: Indeed it does help, Kirbinator! Will have a good think on it... some things are going on ebay for me so perhaps I'll have more funds shortly...

Only good for 48 hours though...

Oh, that Ariel!

I don't think I've seen an actual model of her... ever.

I had mercifully forgotten how bad that thing looks...

Goes to show how much things have improved with this model from RH.

Yeah, I remembered there being a model, and knew who the guy was talking about when he said Ariel, but then when I looked the fig up, I almost didn't want to subject anyone else to having to gaze upon it. Almost.

Looks like Celine Dion started taking testosterone injections and grew wings.

I like the harp as it suits the concept really well imho

Just thought, the staff weapon could be given some fabric to make a banner and you have a one woman command group


I quite like the size option concept too btw

Oh for some spare funds
keep up the good work Raging-Heroes and good luck

For any interested in helping create whfb compatible rules for Syl-Iriah beyond simply using her as a direct stand-in for a generic lord character, I've started working on some here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/320780.page

That looks like a................I don't know.

But it looks cool.

We are very pleased to present Syl-Iriah in her Heroic version as painted by Thomas DAVID.
You can easily include Syl-Iriah in your armies as a General, a Queen or a Sorceress thanks to the 6 weapons and accessories that come with her.

Our Heroic Syl-Iriah page shows all the details as well as the recently posted assembly instructions which also apply to Syl-Iriah Legendary. As a reminder, Syl-Iriah Legendary is a large-size version of Syl-Iriah. She can easily be played as a large Creature or a Goddess Avatar.
