Post images of progress on your Special units for Darkforged 2024 campaign!
Very late starting this post, sorry about that!
I’m working on some MOM miniature K’daai Fireborn, nearly done!
Still need to clean up the base!
These are such cool miniatures, and it was a fun challenge to rank them effectively on 40mm bases to stand in as K’daai Fireborn.

Great! I have also done some K’daii this month. I used the firebulls by Jota I belive. I love the models, but I think that they are a bit small. But that is just a pet peeve at this point. Had I known I might have upscaled, but a friend printed them for me and I am not picky enough to ask him to do the same figs again just a bit bigger.
I have also written up some lore.
LORE:
The Bulls of Al-Sindar
Every creature that walks, swims or floats across this world desires freedom. The freedom to roam, the freedom to act or just the freedom to exist. Creatures of a magical nature are no exception to this rule.
It is not unknown that the people of Araby trade with the Dawi Zharr, even if it is performed carefully and reluctantly. It was during one of these trading ventures that a young Drexxl Shadowtusk, at this time but an apprentice, would stumple upon the collection of Al-Sindar.
Al-Sindar was a powerful mage in his time, with an appetite for control. During his long life he had collected all manners of djinns, efreets and spirits of the desert, and caged these within unremarkable containers. These containers ranged from urns, oil lamps and even a chamber pot. According to the legends of Araby, such beings would grant wishes or boons, but this mattered not to the great wizard, for he was just a collector
This intrigued the young Drexxl. He was not much beguiled by the promises of wishes or petty boons, what caught his interest was the imprisonment of such powerful beings. The thought that even they could be caged.
Thus it was that the collection of Al-Sindar was acquired by the young sorcerer. But this was not a collection he would keep on his shelf. For any prisoner of the Dawi-Zharr also makes for an interesting toy.
At first Drexxl would mock the spirits, always keeping their freedom and hope just out of reach. Then came his experiments. It turns out that whilst not a pleasant experience for either part (and especially agonizing for the vessels original inhabitant), more than one being can be incarcerated within a vessel. Thus it came to be that Al-Sindar’s collection was subjected to the terrible torture of lodging with demons of hashut, evil spirits and the tormented souls of others unfortunate.
The result of this was an amalgamation of fire and pain, the inhabitants of each vessel merging into beings of flame and agony in the shape of mighty bulls.
When the need calls for it, lord Drexxl Shadowtusk has been known to unleash his creations. When set loose, the remnant of the desert spirits finally have a taste of freedom so sweet. But it is a false hope. As whilst they are emancipated from their cages, they are still bound, merged and shackled to the being that they themselves have become. Thus they are the slaves of the sorcerer-prophet, and forever the slaves of themselves.
