Gargoylian Follow-Up
A few weeks ago I wrote about the Gargoylian in Cursed City. Since then, I’m still thinking about gargoylians. Specifically, do I need to acquire more gargoylian models? The first step is, what sets come with these adorably blood-thirsty magical creatures? Quick note: The Cities of Sigmar Army box and Spearhead box both recycle the Cavaliers, so there are no unique gargoylians to be had there. I’ve identified five sets that come with gargoylians, with eleven total models: Freeguild Cavaliers Now, most people will tell you that this set comes with one gargoylian. I believe it comes with two. Look at that weird bird thing! Have you ever seen a bird with a chin?! GARGOYLIAN! Tahlia Vedra Lioness-of-the Parch This is a big hero model but Warhammer.com pictures don’t have a good shot of the gargoylian, so here’s a painted up version over at CAM2D at Tumblr.

The Art of Cursed City
Cursed City is a beautiful game. The artwork is incredible. There is an air of mystery, misery, and despair cloaking every facet of the game. The cards and components are darkly beautiful. The marketing art is iconic. Saying nothing about the miniatures either, which are a cut above even GW’s high standards. I’ve included some of my favorite images below. Sadly, I don’t expect to see more Cursed City content. But maybe GW will throw another set of heroes or monsters in a White Dwarf.

Blackstone Fortress – Broggan Brother Proxies
Here’s a poor picture of quick paint jobs on some proxies for the retinue characters the Broggan Brothers in Blackstone Fortress. These guys are House Bharteth – Law Enforcement Ogre/Ogryns I was going back and forth between those and these. I went with the House Bharthen models because I liked their look just a bit more. Some passable free options are here, and here.

The Gargoylian in Cursed City
If you’re like me, and only tangentially associated with Age of Sigmar lore, you might have also been wondering: Well, they seem to be magical creatures of varying size and form that inhabit the same Mortal Realms. This is the only reference to gargoylians on Warhammer Community: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/kI158RMr/cities-of-sigmar-who-or-what-exactly-are-gargoylians/ I don’t have many/any proper AoS books myself, so I can’t contribute too much more information. They don’t make an appearance in the Soulbound Ulfenkarn City at the Edge of Death book. But I can talk about White Dwarf 496. One of the oddities of the Cities of Sigmar heroes is the addition of the gargoylian companion. It’s listed as an Empowerment, but with no other text, other than what is on the card. A gargoylian companion essentially provides a short-ranged attack at the cost of a 4+ die. There is a 50/50 chance of causing 0, 2 or 4 damage to…
