Fantasy Flight Gives Us A Closer Look At The Daqan Of RuneWars
March 1, 2017 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games is giving us a closer look at the Daqan of RuneWars: The Miniatures Game in the run-up to the release of the game very soon indeed. See what you think of their characters and models as we check out their artwork and miniatures...
We lead off with the character from the set, Kari Wraithstalker, who you can see here atop her rather wonderful looking scenic base. They really have captured the artwork nicely and it's good to get a look at these models in closer detail.
Kari is incredibly quick and also benefits from having a ranged attack too, something the rest of the Daqan force doesn't have at its disposal. She has rerolls and damage buffs aplenty and even allows you to bring in the Latari Elves to join the fighting. They aren't out yet, but they are just around the corner.
Rune Golems
Next up we're looking at another of the big units for the Daqan, their Rune Golem.
The Rune Golem is the model that really sold me on the world of RuneWars as a miniatures game. This is one of those centrepiece miniatures that really draws the eye. In combat, they dish out a crushing amount of damage and can even help your force by stunning your opponents for other warriors to gain an advantage.
Spearmen
Next, we move onto the core troops of the Daqan with their Spearmen.
The real benefit of the Spearmen is that they are versatile in battle. They have a number of different options open to them where they can either go on the fully offensive or try their hand at being defensive instead. Their ability to gain inspiration tokens means they can shake off conditions and stick around in the fight that little longer. Also, the models look epic!
Oathsworn Cavalry
Last but not least, we have the Oathsworn Cavalry.
Once again we have some cracking looking models coming to life for this game and here is where we see more versatility for the Daqan too. You will want to be charging into battle with these knights, as you might imagine, as when they smash into the enemy ranks they are able to shake and panic the enemy.
Their heavy armour makes them hard to shift in combat too. With a standard defence of two, you will need to inflict two damage to do wounds to them. Not bad!
Do you think you'll be playing as the Daqan when RuneWars hits?

Those are really nice looking.
The sculpts do look nice and they are very well painted. Any idea on what material they are sculpted out of, metal, PVC, hard plastic or resin?
From what I understand they’re being made of the same material as Imperial Assault.
Sorry mate for being dense, but I have no idea what material that is I assume it isn’t metal or hard plastic. So I assume it is some form of PVC. What is the material like ?? Is it flexible or rigid, does it hold detail? Just curious, not trying to be a pain in the @r$e ? cheers 🙂
It’s a soft plastic. It’s alright, a bit prone to bending but can usually be fixed with hit water. It’s not quite the premium hard plastic you get with the likes of GW and details can sometimes be hit and miss; however I have painted a lot of Imperial Assault and had a great time doing so; if these miniatures are to your taste then you will have fun painting them even in soft plastic.
Cheers @onlyonepinman I have tempered a lot of soft plastic minis in the last year (Dungeon Saga and the Undercity) and they are easy to paint after that ….. (I don’t like them too floppy …..*there are follow up line I could use here, but like any sane man I am scared of my missus)
they look great perfect alternatives for AoS eternals?
I was thinking Mantic Basileans.
Not really my thing. It seems like the areas that should be thin like swords and robes are rather thick and rounded compared to the concept art.
