The Hammer of the Undead Aristocracy
Few sights on an Age of Sigmar battlefield command as much dread as a unit of Blood Knights bearing down at full gallop. These are not shambling undead — they are cursed vampire warriors encased in baroque plate armour, mounted on monstrous undead steeds, and utterly devoted to the hunt. When a Soulblight Gravelords general needs a killing blow delivered with finality, Blood Knights are the instrument of choice. Getting five of these models assembled and painted is one of the most rewarding projects the Soulblight range has to offer.
What's in the Box
This kit builds five Blood Knights — heavily armoured vampire cavalry who serve as one of the most powerful hammer units in the Soulblight Gravelords army. The multi-part plastic sprues offer genuine customisation, with options to build a unit leader (the Kastellan) and a standard bearer among the five riders. Each model is mounted on a base-included base sized for cavalry, and the sculpts are richly detailed — layered armour plates, tattered heraldry, and the tormented musculature of the undead warhorses beneath them reward careful painters at every stage. These are multi-part kits that require plastic glue and assembly time, making them best suited to hobbyists comfortable with the build process or eager to level up.
Who Should Pick These Up
Soulblight Gravelords players building out a competitive or narrative army will find Blood Knights near the top of most priority lists — they hit hard, look spectacular on the table, and anchor a battleline in a way few undead units can. For painters, this kit is a genuine showcase piece. The armour surfaces take layered metallics beautifully, and the colour contrast between pallid undead flesh and rich, dark plate gives experienced painters plenty to explore. Newcomers to Age of Sigmar should be aware that this is a multi-part kit requiring hobby glue and clippers — paints and brushes are sold separately — but the finished result is absolutely worth the effort. These also make an outstanding gift for any Soulblight collector who doesn't yet have cavalry in their ranks.
