An Iosan scholar well versed in the arcane arts, Sylys Wyshnalyrr barters his talents to the armies of the Iron Kingdoms in exchange for access to their libraries and safe passage across their lands. Given Sylys’ attention, even the most puissant warcaster would find his own sorcerous ability strengthened, gaining an invaluable edge in battle.

Merc Warcaster attachment! Huzzah! Given he's a Seeker, he'll probably work for the same folks as Aiyanna and Holt. So, everyone but Cryx. Sorry, dragon worshippers, looks like you're still kinda screwed here.

What is a sorcerous edge in battle, you think? Rerolls? Extra RNG? Focus battery?

I'm going with the following as possible *Actions.
One spell cast requires one less Focus.
Reroll the Attack roll for one spell cast.

I don't think you'll see the "cast one of casters spell for free" thing because that's shown up on several other attachments already. Plus with it being a Merc attachment, it can't be Too good (in theory).

Could this model be anymore bland and pointless? even the pose is off.

An utterly unremarkable mini.

The design of that weapon is unfortuntate: it looks like a phallus with a half-unrolled condom on it...

Also not a fan of that hip pad.

meh...

Why does he have a horse saddle on his side?

Its...a pretty awful mini.

The mini sucks. But the blurb makes his rules sound promising.

Can't unsee. . .

I don't think it is a saddle i think it is his last piece of elf armor he is an elf btw.

PP should stop previewing things like this. They'd be much better of telling us nothing until a week before release.

Looks like a bad conversion----the upper body doesn't match the legs---the pose----eh. PP continue to be hit/miss for me. Mainly their Elves.

I'll call a spade a spade... This is NOT one of their better sculpts.

On the up side, the pose is open enough for all sorts of repose possibilities.

Stonewalling: It's the only way to build excitement!

Games Workshop Corporate: "We don't know the meaning of 'long term'."

But in all seriousness, it's an uninspiring model... like all their Elves as someone said above.

Bad even for privateer. Looks like he fell out of Nero's crew in the Star Trek remake.

Stay on-topic, please. There are plenty of other threads for bashing GW.

The first thing I noticed about this mini is the fact that there's only one vowel in his name. Seriously, how do you even pronounce that?

Joking aside, I actually like this model and as I'm thinking of starting Scyrah I'll probably get it eventually as well. Probably sculpt some fire or something on on the free hand to go with the pose.

Apparently "Being and Elf" = "Use the letter 'Y' a lot" when it comes to Privateer Press.

I honestly hadn't considered such things, but now that you've characterized it as such, I'm finding it difficult to respect this miniature.

"Silis Wishnalir." Seriously, they never taught you about Y being a vowel in school? Kids these days...

I agree. Usually I like PP stuff, at least the jacks...but this dude just looks meh.
