Drakemasters of Caledor

Look to the skies.

In the elder days, the Drakemasters of Caledor soared on dragons whose wings could blot out the sun and whose flames were hotter than forges.  The lords of the air and the princes of Caledor fought side by side against Demons, Druchii, and all manner of beasts, proving themselves the world’s mightiest force.  Now, in an age when ancients slumber and youth is exposed to the horror of war, the Drakemasters have once again made their wyrm-call.  But this time, it is legacy that has answered.  Young dragons, often referred to as Sun Drakes, have emerged from the dens of their slumbering parents, all too eager to whet their fangs in blood and announce their arrival with primal roars.  Though often no bigger than a griffon or manticore, Sun Drakes hunt with all the primordial hunger and pride of their forebears and are determined to prove themselves worthy of remembrance.  For their part, the Drakemasters are all too willing to accept the aid of such creatures.  Any dragon, even a youngling, is a force of incredible power.

* Drakemasters are a Rare choice in a High Elf army.

Dread Knights of Naggaroth

Well, since almost everyone else is getting fancy new monstrous cavalry, I thought it only fair to give some to the most ruthless butchers in all the world.

Comments and criticisms are welcome and requested.

Stagnation is perhaps the one thing the Druchii fear. Every day of their lives, they seek out new stimulus, extremes of pain, lust, and greed to reassert the physical and psychological dominance they were born into. This innate drive to stimulation and superiority has manifested on the battlefield in many ways, and equal to any such manifestations has been the creation of the Great Cold Ones.  Under the brutal and malicious gaze of the Beastmasters, Cold Ones have been forced to fight and breed so that only the most bloodthirsty monsters make it out of the pens alive. These enormous, ravenous, unhinged monsters are then handed over to the wealthiest, most tyrannical knights, who use the most ingenious tortures and methods to simultaneously cow and enrage the beasts.  The results of this deplorable process are the Dread Knights of Naggaroth, shock cavalry that are capable of panicking entire battle lines and reducing enemy elites to piles of gory scrap metal.
