Interesting thought, she could be a Partisan like Acosta perhaps.

It's Black Dragon Uhlans with Character CA. Is that a confirmed thing or just your speculation? Just speculation as I was planning to paint my Uhlans in Black Dragon colours already I don't know where the lore is at these days with Vlad marrying the Empress, but in the past the horse lords and their Uhlans were uneasy allies with the Empress. So the lines about Enemy or Ally made me think along those lines.

Great minds think alike- I recently picked up some Uhlans that I'm painting as Black Dragons. Did you get the Black Dragon shield set from the online store?
If not, I encourage you to do that! The Uhlans look so much better if they have the shields than if you just paint them black. I was hesitant at first to modify the shields to be the same shape as the Uhlan shields, but once I started using small hobby nibblers, a half-moon hobby file, and some fine-grit sand paper they were super easy to modify.
For the inside curve I used the nibblers to cut just below the main part of the shield and then make a second cut to the side of the centerline. Leave enough material so that when you file the cut edges with the half-moon file you have enough material to have flat sides and a nice inside curve.
For the outside curve I used the nibblers to cut off the lower outside corner of the shield and then used the file to get to roughly where the curve should start and end. Then I dragged the shield across the fine-grit sandpaper, rotating the shield as I dragged it, to finish off the curve to match the Uhlan shield.
You then have 7 more Black dragon shields for other conversions. I used one of them to make one of my Iron Fang Kovniks into a Black Dragon Iron Fang Kovnik (he paints up so nice in black and gold) and then I used another as a left hand buckler on a Juggernaut to make an Iron Fang Juggernaut. For the Juggernaut, get a pair of old Destroyer shoulder spikes from the online store for the shoulders and it looks just like a giant axe-wielding Black Dragon warrior. I then took another shield, ground down the sides and the back to be a flat-backed lozenge with just the dragon and put it in the center of a Spriggan shield to make a Black Dragon Spriggan. They both painted up surprisingly nice in black and gold.
I'm saving the rest for future conversions. If I can get a 2nd Kovnik Markov for cheap I'll make a Black Dragon version of him. Otherwise I can't think of any other good conversion targets. Do you guys have any suggestions?
You can't just tell us this without showing any pictures of it now can you? He's not allowed to do this is he?

As a Greylord I decree this is illegal and pics must be shared.

I do not know the lore at all, so I was thinking Merc with faction ties.

Interesting thought, she could be a Partisan like Acosta perhaps. Acosta is maybe not the best example. But I was thinking a decorated veteran Iron Fang working as a Mercenary could be a powerful symbol of political turmoil in Khador.

Somehow I don't think a model decorated with Khadoran medals will work as a mercenary, could happend, just seems unlikely.

If she's a solo I think she's going to be more like Pyrrhus in menoth, a super killing machine, with maybe some support stuff thrown in there. Because you're right, khador doesn't really do support, or at least doesn't do support that isn't good at killing.

She looks to have similar armor to Butcher/mows to me. Here's hoping for Mow Mama caster.
