Magnar Nylstrom – The Nordic War Chief

Magnar Nylstrom – The Nordic War Chief

Male Human (Barbarian, Fighter)

Leaping forward with unbridled momentum, this premier Artifact commands immediate authority on the tactical grid. Dual-wielding heavy axes over a shattered, debris-strewn base, his dynamic posture and thick northern armaments embody the peak of frontline leadership. Keepers can deploy this imposing figure to anchor a raiding party, represent a hardened faction commander, or challenge players with an unyielding marshal of the frozen wastes.

Tabletop Lore

The War Chief of the village of Skildavold, Magnar has ruled since the Himlingr first made themselves known to mortals of Nordheim. Among the Chiefs, he was chosen as their champion; a proud warrior with a stout heart and stern hand, with unwavering loyalty to his clan, and his divine. Magnar is thus seen as the patriarch among the various villages of Nordheim, the closest thing to a jarl or king that the region has, with his rule graced by the divine.

Highlight

The exceptional mid-air lunging pose captures an intense battle sequence, making this model an outstanding centerpiece that projects kinetic danger from every angle.
