Among Cygnar’s greatest living battlefield generals, Archduke Alain Runewood has given up the comfort and safety of his estates in aid of his country and his king. Wherever his command fights, Runewood leads from the heart of battle. His tactical acumen is finely honed, and his inspiring presence pushes his sword knights to fight fearlessly in the face of even the most dangerous foe.

I like. Fething awesome. I kind of wish he had a greatsword though as he seems to have no shield.

I like a world where that is not a great sword.

I like him, and the steelhead guy (Stannis?). I love the idea of "normal" non warcaster generals trying to compete in the world of mangled metal.

Wow, that is a fantastic mini right there. I'm really liking the feel of the Wrath stuff coming out and can't wait to see what more stuff the Protectorate gets.

That man has very tiny legs and a very impractical sword.

My reaction exactly...he looks good otherwise, but his legs are too skinny, and the sword is kinda ugly.

By greatsword, I mean like this:
Not that clunky thing that he's holding. Reach would be nice too.

I don't know why, but there seems to be something off with 90% of PP sculpts. These legs are just awkward

I thought this was going to be a circle warlock, but it's some cygnar warcaster.

I love the Sword Knight figs, and this guy's no different. Makes me want to get into a D&DE campaign and make a sword and board Fighter as an excuse to use one of these.

There are far better figures available for DnD at far better prices than Warmahordes stuff.

Meh, I immediately dismiss the opinion of someone who says all PP figs are just plain bad.

Agreed... keep it to the model pictured, without generalizing an entire company's models in one go
I didn't like this model the first time I looked at it, but it's grown on me.

Honestly, I think it's less that his legs are too small and more that his head's too damn big. Might see how Stalin-onna-horse's head compares and do a swap.

I like the fig and hope that it brings me some incentive to bring the swordknights to the table, as they are my favorite cygnar melee sculpts.

That indeed is a really nice model. Stands out without being too much IMHO, really nice sculpt.
I think PP should whack up some kind of deal for starter-sets or whatever during all this GW 'kerfuffle' atm; they could make a killing I expect.
Remember Infinity's deal on starters not so long ago? Imagine if that was this week!

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."
