WizKids has announced the first Mage Knight CMG expansion using the new rules of the revamped Mage Knight Collectible Miniatures Game.  The Dark Riders Expansion brings mounted figures back to the game, but this time they have more flexibility.  With the Dark Riders Expansion riding warriors can dismount in the middle of combat.  The rider's stats affect the mount's stats, and mounts and rider can be killed independently of each other.  Dismounted riders can even run across the battlefield and jump on another horse.  In addition new subfactions bring new relics and another game mechanic called 'Items' into the fray, bringing additional levels of complexity, strategy, and fun to Mage Knight conflicts.

But perhaps the coolest aspect of the Dark Riders Expansion is the return of the dreaded 'four horseman of the apocalypse,' which are now available to all as 'Unique' figures within the Dark Riders Expansion -- meaning that they can be added to any warlord's army.
