Here are the English translations of the descriptions, courtesy of  Aftermath over on Rackham's English forums...

Ophidian Syhes (Ophidian Blister, 10 Euros)

This blister contains three Veteran fighters for the Ophidian Alliance. Because of their low cost (15 AP), the Ophidian Syhes make it possible to compensate at a good price for the low-numbers of the Ophidian army. Further, the Syhes are not content to just take the blows, they return them, and rather well! Equipped with the ability “Sequence/1”, they can have more combat dice than normal, reducing their effectiveness.


Cadwe Minotaur (Cadwallon blister, 15 Euros)

This blister contains one creature for the Free City of Cadwallon. With solid passive characteristics (STR 10, RES 10) and Brutish charge, the Cadwe Minotaur does not fear a fight. And when her adversaries balk at tangling witth her, she can leave them to her powerful crossbow (STR 7). However, this robust fighter does not forget her small comrades. Endowed with Cure/4, the Cadwe Minotaur assures the survival of her comrades in arms, in both Confrontation 3 and in Rag'Narok 2.

Cadwe Assassins (Cadwallon blister, 10 Euros)

This blister contains two Special fighters for the Free City of Cadwallon. As its name indicates, this fighter is endowed with the "Assassin" ability. The effect of this is improved by Ruthless and the special capacity with which the Cadwe Assassin is equipped: no matter what, when he makes a assault, he benefits from the effects of the charge and can use Assassin against his adversary. He is also equipped with Resolution/2, which enables him to undoubtedly win the Initiative test (INI 4) or not to miss his blow (ATT 5)!


Wrecker Dwarves (Cadwallon blister, 15 Euros)

This blister contains three Elite fighters for the Free City of Cadwallon. The wrecker is an impact fighter and constitutes a remarkable deterrent force. A miniature artillery weapon! Endowed with Master strike/3 and a Steam weapon/STR, with a little luck he cancause Damage rolls for STR 20! Faithful to his Dwarven heritage, he also has Hard-boiled and higher than average Discipline (DIS 5). The guild of Architects does not have a habit of swindling its clients!

Flesh Eaters (Devourer box, 40 Euros)

This box contains three elite warriors for the army of the Disciples of the Beast. The three figures in this box are new sculptures. They are provided with new profiles for Flesh Eaters: their characteristics were improved to represent their inordinate power. Also, each profile has its own ability representing one of the three aspects of the destructive teachings of the Beast: Master strike/1, Counter-attack or Sequence/1.


Water Elemental (Elemental Blister, 15 Euros)

This blister contains one Elemental playable with every army from Confrontation and from Rag'narok with the exception of the Limbo of Acheron. Recruiting an Elemental of Water makes it possible to have a powerful and versatile creature, thanks to the ability "Concentration / 2." It will be particularly appreciated by players of Wolfen, Daikinee, Devourers, Sessairs and Drunes, who will fully benefit from the half-dozen spells included with the Elemental of Water.


Dream Warrior (Daikinee Blister, 8 Euros)

This blister contains one Warrior-mage for the Defenders of Quithayran. Endowed with POW 3, these Warrior-mages with their defensive profile can give both magic and martial support to the troops that accompany them. Completely able to defend themselves against elite troops or lesser characters (DEF 5), they also have a very tactical special capacity which replicates the effects of "Luck" for a friendly fighter. Finally, the spells “Emerald Veil” and “Shadowy Fear” enable them to disrupt the strategy of the opponent.

Vous ne parlez pas le français ? Pour l'honte! (mais alors ni je faire!)

Totally digging the water elemental as before and the Dream Warrior is pretty damned fetching too, though I think I'd replace the bat wings with something more fae like. Good stuff!

Nah, I deliberately forgot it after grade 10 (the last year the Canadian Gov't forces kids to take French in school).  I'm not a fan of the language, it's almost as silly as English is, except I don't mind English since my brain was wired in that language

Ok, seeing as no-one else has said it ... what the heck is the cow doing walking on two legs and who the heck gave it a weapon - it looks like a farside cartoon's evil twin. Not exactly bad ass and brooding, but more like something that forgot to take its meds and needs help getting back to the psych ward.

Don't get me wrong, I love Rackham stuff, but that is just not how I ever pictured a minataur.

I dunno, I think that minotaur is pretty sweet.  Perfect for a Diablo II Secret Cow Level army.  Moo!

I'd go Ophidian if the Confrontation scene was bigger around my parts ... but now that I think about it, I'm actually pretty lucky to have a Confrontation scene nearby at all! Hmm, maybe I deserve some snakey things and their platform-boot slaves ... o_O

Everything is loooking really good except the water elemental.  I just think it could be done more fluid and watery.

Maybe it is the cyclops skull head, not sure.

For me, it is definitely the cyclopean skull head...

I'll still end up getting it and converting the head into something else though (just not sure what at this point)...

Too bad I'm not done painting the few Confrontation minis I have. Can't
justify another purchase until then, or until I start gaming.

Now that has to be the funniest thing I have heard on Dakka for ages.

Cannot justify another purchase .....

I can never justify a single purchase I make. If I painted everything I owned ready to game with before I bought another mini, arthritis would prevent me from getting the money out of my wallet to pay for it.
