Lord Fengr, Ironsworn Ruler (Mounted) – The Obsidian Cavalier

Lord Fengr descends from his throne to lead the Iron Vow from the vanguard, mounted upon a war-steed forged of muscle and soot. This Artifact captures the absolute monarch mid-charge, his curved blade poised to reap the souls of those who dare impede his subterranean conquest. He is no longer a static judge but a mobile engine of annihilation, a sovereign of the deep bringing the silence of the forge to the front lines.

Highlight

For the Keeper, this Artifact represents an evolution in tactical threat, transitioning from a stationary mastermind to a high-speed “Line-Breaker.” The sheer kinetic energy of the rearing steed provides an imposing vertical presence on the table, signaling a shift in encounter stakes from attrition to a desperate struggle against crushing momentum.

Encounter Insight

Deploy Mounted Lord Fengr as a “Shock Vanguard” to shatter the party’s defensive lines. His increased mobility allows Keepers to strike at vulnerable backline casters before cycling back to trample the frontline. In combat, reward players for successful “Unhorsing” maneuvers, but punish them with high-impact “Trample” attacks if they fail to control his movement. To achieve a professional finish, apply deep, oily metallics to the barding and a volcanic, inner-glow effect to the horse’s flaring nostrils and eyes.

Features

• Rearing War-Charger: A dynamic, high-tension mount featuring heavy barding and a sculpted mane that flows with the violent energy of the charge.
• Masterwork Ironsworn Plate: Detailed bio-organic armor segments that transition seamlessly from the rider to the mount, emphasizing their symbiotic link.
• The Monarch’s Falchion: A broad, curved blade held in a lethal downward sweep, optimized for reaping targets from the saddle.
• Cracked Volcanic Base: Set upon a 50mm scenic base that depicts the scorched, crumbling earth typical of the deep strata.

Ideal For

• Pivotal mid-campaign boss battles or the vanguard of a subterranean invasion.
• Representing high-level Blackguards, Hell Knights, or Dark Sovereigns.
• Collectors looking to master complex organic and metallic textures across a large-scale Artifact.

Tabletop Lore: The Black Hoof

When Lord Fengr leaves his dais, the very foundations of Lowtown tremble. His mount is not a living creature but a “Vessel of Breath,” an alchemical construct inhabited by the collective rage of the Ironsworn. It is said that where the horse treads, the ground is permanently scorched, leaving behind black, glass-like hoofprints that hum with the frequency of a dying star.
