Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique Features | Difficulty | Player Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Support Wizard / Hero | Morbid Amethyst magic aesthetic, ritual tolling bell, macabre robes, and Shyish realm iconography | Intermediate due to flowing fabric and fine ritual details requiring careful sub-assembly or precision brushwork | Position your Knellmage directly behind a solid block of infantry to protect them from ranged threats while remaining in range to cast spells |
Age of Sigmar: Cities of Sigmar - Amethyst Knellmage
The Amethyst Knellmage is a specialized spellcaster who channels the grim powers of Shyish, the Realm of Death, to support the mortal armies of the Cities of Sigmar. While regular soldiers rely on black powder and steel, this dark mystic operates in the shadows of the battlefield, breaking enemy morale and offering vital magical protection. For hobbyists, this miniature presents a fantastic opportunity to work with darker color palettes, rich purples, and highly detailed robes.
Cities of Sigmar: Amethyst Knellmage

Masters of the Amethyst Magic
Standing as a grim reminder of mortality, the Amethyst Knellmage guides the living through the darkest horrors of the Mortal Realms. By ringing their ritual bells, these sorcerers weave protective enchantments around mortal soldiers and manipulate the very fabric of death to unnerve their foes. The model is a standout piece for any collection, adding a grim, gothic tone that perfectly contrasts the militaristic uniform look of standard human infantry.
Faction Integration
Within a Cities of Sigmar army, the Amethyst Knellmage functions as a cost-effective Hero option. They fill a crucial niche by expanding your magic roster without costing too many points, giving you more tactical flexibility during both the hero and combat phases.
Key Benefits of the Amethyst Knellmage
- Grants access to unique spells that manipulate enemy bravery and shut down enemy wizards
- Striking visual contrast to standard troops, serving as a great centerpiece for small squads
- Efficient point cost makes it easy to fit into almost any army list size
Battlefield Matchups
- Low-Morale Armies: The Knellmage excels at forcing bravery tests, making them deadly against hordes or units with low natural leadership attributes.
- Magic-Heavy Factions: Their defensive magical capabilities help mitigate incoming enemy spells and unbind dangerous enemy endless spells.
- Tactical Assessment: By attacking the enemy's psychological stats and magical defense, the Amethyst Knellmage provides crucial asymmetric utility against many different army archetypes.
