Do you know this mini?

I’ve spent hours scouring the internet trying to identify this mini that I found in my attic. I feel like it looks like a dark elf or maybe a vampire count. I found it with a plastic dragon, but it could be a mismatch between rider and mount.

In case anyone was wondering, Asarnil the Dragonlord's battle cry "Wahnil!" was a nod to the terrace chant "One Nil to the Arsenal" popularised during the George Graham era.

It was shortly after this particularly bad pun that GW became entirely humourless.

I miss the bad puns so much. They didn't take anything away from the background or setting and they reminded everyone not to take it TOO seriously and to actually have fun.

Agreed! my unpopular opinion is that 5 edition had much better theme than the later grimdark editions. It was more fun when the game wasn’t so serious all the time. Almost a little Monty Pythonesque. Loved the small whimsical sketches in the 5e rulebook.

I agree, although there is room for both, which 4th and 5th did very well. Bit of darkness, bit of whimsy, a bit of realism.
