The Cryptguard are ghouls of uncommon tenacity and worth, elevated to an elite station by performing some great feat of endurance in the sight of their vampiric liege. Charged with protecting their unholy masters, these faithful mordants wield weapons gifted from the royal armoury – rusted, gore-caked blades, soaked in decades of maddening energies and infectious filth.

This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Cryptguard, devoted ghoul retainers for the nobility of the Flesh-eater Courts. The Cryptguard carry a variety of cursed weapons into battle – you can outfit each ghoul with a chipped and battered sword, or a long-handled and well-worn halberd. The kit also provides components to build a drummer musician, a standard bearer waving a flag of flayed skin, and a Crypt Captain champion with uniquely grisly headgear.

The kit includes plenty of cosmetic options to help you assemble a truly varied horde of ferocious ghouls. You'll find a variety of alternative arms and armaments, as well as loads of interchangeable heads – each more gruesome than the last.

This kit contains 100 plastic components, and 10x Citadel 25mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require 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.
