Autarch Matthias

Matthias is a kitbashed HQ unit who I put together with bits from a whole slew of different models, most of them Dire Avengers. Mounted him up on a custom 32mm resin base and I’m really happy with the end result. No wings on this Autarch, he’s equipped for sword-and-board with a Star Glaive.

The friend of mine who gifted me my Dire Avengers is a huge fan of the Fire Emblem: Awakening game, so you might notice a similarity to a certain one-sleeved sword boy – as if the symbol on my Dire Avenger banners wasn’t a dead giveaway! His Force Shield’s gems also definitely aren’t colored to look like the five different gems in the Fire Emblem.

Grace in battle and merciless efficiency are prized virtues of craftworld armies. The warhosts are led by those who epitomise such traits: the Autarchs. These are Aeldari who have walked the Path of the Warrior for decades or even centuries, yet resisted the taint of Khaine’s Red Madness. Theirs is a vital role, for the Autarchs alone tread the esteemed Path of Command.
