Pontifex Zenestra is the revered leader of the Cult of the Wheel – one of the more influential Sigmarite faiths found throughout the Free Cities. As the Matriarch gives her inspiring battlefield sermons, the raw celestial power of the God-King crackles out from her sacred palanquin to incinerate blasphemers, whilst devoted acolytes bludgeon and hew any foolish enough to approach her without permission. The Great Wheel turns, and the driving force is faith.

This multipart plastic kit builds Pontifex Zenestra, the holy Matriarch of the Great Wheel. This mysterious but inspiring figure exudes the zealous fervour of Sigmar's faithful, sat atop an ornate palanquin decorated with gargoyles, censers, and symbols of the Heldenhammer and the Great Wheel. Zenestra herself carries only an hourglass to measure each turning of the Great Wheel, with a holy sceptre resting across her robed lap – her true weapon is faith.

Two devoted acolytes carry this blessed platform into battle, imbued with seemingly divine strength. They have four different heads to choose from – two bare, two with a hood or skullcap – allowing you to personalise your holy procession to suit your army's aesthetic.

This kit comprises 35 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 90x52.5mm Oval Base.

This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):

1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.

2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
