Karazai, also known as “The Scarred,” is a prominent Draconith prince in the Age of Sigmar, a key figure among the Draconith, the dragon-like descendants of Dracothion the Great Drake. Alongside his brother Krondys, Karazai is notable for his deep involvement in the Draconith’s struggle for survival and their resurgence in the Mortal Realms. Distinguished by his passion for scholastic lore, Karazai played an instrumental role in discovering and establishing a telepathic link with the Slann, ancient and powerful beings. This intellectual curiosity and foresight led to a pivotal alliance that proved crucial for the Draconith’s survival. When faced with the threat posed by Kragnos, a powerful Drogrukh who sought the destruction of the Draconith, it was Karazai’s initiative that sought the intervention of Lord Kroak, a revered Slann figure. As a result of Karazai’s actions, the remaining Draconith eggs were given to the protection of Kroak’s temple-ships, ensuring the race’s continuity. This act of preservation was vital in the return of the Draconith during the Era of the Beast. It was then that Karazai, alongside his brother Krondys, led the Draconith to ally with the Stormcast Eternals, forming the formidable Stormdrake Guard under the Pact Draconis. Karazai’s name resonates with a sense of resilience and adaptability, reflecting his capacity to navigate the Draconith through periods of great peril. His contributions have not only safeguarded his race but also positioned the Draconith as significant allies in the ongoing struggles of the Mortal Realms. Karazai’s legacy is one of wisdom, strategic foresight, and an unyielding commitment to the preservation and advancement of his people. If you don’t have an account, please sign up here!

Mortarion NMM bronze not only aligns with his character and lore but also offers an artistically challenging and visually striking way to represent this complex and enduring figure from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Mortarion, also known as the Prince of Decay, embodies the essence of corruption and pestilence. Painting him with NMM bronze creates a stark contrast between the enduring, solid nature of bronze and the theme of decay and entropy that Mortarion represents. This contrast can symbolize the internal conflict Mortarion faces – his enduring nature as a Primarch clashing with his allegiance to the forces of decay and despair.
