The Riders of Beleroth are the exalted cavalry of the Children of Beleroth - demons who have been deemed worthy of commanding war-beasts of terrifying size and ferocity. Each beast is a gift from the war god himself, chosen in a blood rite that binds rider and mount into a single, unbreakable will. The bond is no mere partnership; it is a fusion of hunger and rage, where the rider’s commands become instinct to the beast, and the beast’s feral bloodlust seeps into the rider’s soul. Together, they are living engines of slaughter, thundering across the battlefield in a tide of black steel, torn flesh, and unholy fervour.
These mounts are not mere animals but warped titans - plated in armour, with eyes that burn like coals and maws that can swallow a man whole. In battle, the Rider uses their beast’s sheer mass to smash through lines, scattering enemies before the killing blow even falls. The ground trembles beneath their charge, and the air is split by the mingled roar of beast and demon, a sound that has broken the morale of entire warbands before the Riders even came into view.
Among the Children of Beleroth, to become a Rider is to ascend to a near-mythic status. Such warriors are spoken of in reverent whispers by their kin and in terrified curses by their foes. They are living symbols of Beleroth’s favour - proof that the god’s gaze has fallen upon them, and that their deaths will be marked in the annals of war. Yet the price of such glory is steep: a Rider who fails their mount in battle is torn apart by it, their flesh devoured so that no weakness remains in the pact. For those who live and kill without faltering, their legend grows with each corpse left trampled in their wake, until even the most steadfast defenders know the terror of the oncoming black tide.
This set contains 12x Riders of Onslaught, supported and unsupported, along with premium 90mm x 52mm bases.
