Designer’s Notes
I knew from the beginning this was going to be an expensive piece to produce because it essentially combines two complete decorative workflows into one.
I’ve been working on King Horan and the Skullduggery storyline for at least seven years now, and I know we’ve built a loyal group of collectors who have followed every chapter along the way, so the final installment had to feel special—it had to go out with a bang.
The mountain of skulls immediately grabs your attention, but my favourite detail is actually just under it. I spent a lot of time on the sandblasted cross-section of the earth below, giving a subtle nod back to Temple of the Dragon by revealing Darthor’s buried remains beneath the battlefield.
Without a doubt, this is the release I’ve been most excited to share in 2026.
Feature Highlights
Triple-Tech Masterpiece
The first Milkyway piece to combine Technicolor Dreamwork, double-layer sandblast, and Micro-SB detailing—bringing together the best of all three decorative techniques.
The Final Chapter
Aftermath concludes the seven-year saga of King Horan, the Skull Emperor, bringing one of Milkyway’s longest-running storylines to its definitive end.
Hidden Storytelling
Look beneath the battlefield to discover Darthor’s buried remains—a subtle callback to Temple of the Dragon that rewards longtime collectors.
