Beyond Winds from the North
6 Miniatures: 1 LadyTélia, 2 Pioneers, 1 Njord, The Merciless and 2 Skin Changers
Hegemony of Embersig
Lady Télia
This is an Elite Scout unit. She shines when playing her solo, deploying early in the battle to eliminate enemy Characters from a distance. Within a unit, she boosts their firepower and improves their effectiveness: an efficient symbiosis where the unit increases its durability on the table and Lady Télia is protected by her companions.
What does she bring to your army?
-
2 command tokens, an aspect of the game where the Hegemony excels.
-
The ability to eliminate enemy Characters even when attached to a unit (by default, you cannot specifically attack a Character, only their unit).
-
Can join Pioneers, increasing their reliability in shooting.
Pioneers
They are a Scout unit capable of taking objectives quickly, protecting them, and driving the enemy out of them.
What do they bring to your army?
-
As Scouts, they can burst into battle at any time and harass a flank or weaken the enemy.
-
A ranged attack is a skill that allows them to attack the enemy without seeing them and do a lot of damage.
-
They can set explosive traps.
Northern Tribes
Njord, The Merciless
On the battlefield, Njord is a lethal warrior leader who draws strength from every blow to continue attacking the enemy. His tattoos and four wounds make him a difficult character to eliminate.
What does he bring to his army?
-
2 command tokens are very important for the Northern Tribes.
-
As an Elite, he has a very high damage output. His attack switches ensure that he will do damage almost every time.
-
His command skill allows him to ignore damage, making him very resilient.
-
He gains new keywords and upgrades his attack and defense rolls as he accumulates wounds.
Skin Changers
A unit with a very good attack has two possible configurations: an agile one in the form of a Scout that allows it to reach any point on the battlefield, and a tough one with a Wound value of 4 that, along with some Support that improves its defense, makes it a difficult enemy to eliminate. They are Ahlwardt's (Ice Bear) favorite unit.
What do they bring to your army?
-
With Morale 2, any Character that boosts their morale or gives them conquest value helps them become one of the best assault units.
