Warcrow: November Previews

Corvus Belli haben die kommenden Neuheiten für Warcrow vorgestellt.

Sprigs

Sÿenann (4 miniatures)

The Sprigs are an infantry unit that embodies the untamed fury of the forest. They combine exceptional mobility with control capabilities, acting as natural predators that immobilize and weaken their prey before finishing them off.

What do they bring to your army?

• Mobility. They can reach any target on the battlefield
• They slow down and immobilize their enemies, facilitating ranged attacks and ambushes by other Sÿenann units
• Great for flanking and trapping key units

Yaldabaoth Officers

Scions of Yaldabaoth (2 miniatures)

Master Maiële is an Officer who controls Raisen units. Her main role is to empower and coordinate her allies to hinder and weaken the enemy by attacking them. Her design revolves around orchestrating the battlefield from the rear, making her minions more lethal while protecting her own survival.

What does she bring to your army?

• She turns Reasen units into projectile weapons that she can empower and activate for free.
• She makes the most of her army’s Husk, which she can use to absorb some of the damage inflicted on her.

The Tutor is a defensive Officer, key to protecting and empowering nearby allied units, especially effective against enemy charges or assaults.

What does he bring to your army?

• He is an excellent addition to any unit, as he offers the possibility of healing and reducing stress, increasing their morale and conquest value by 2.
• He is the Officer that the Scions need to have a highly defensive unit that secures objectives.

Samara Dithean, Divergent

Scions of Yaldabaoth

Samara Dìthean is an offensive Officer who specializes in controlling the battlefield through the strategic use of the stain. He is a combat spellcaster who thrives in the midst of action, coordinating allied movements while punishing the enemy.

What does she bring to your army?

• He is a very versatile character who makes intensive use of the trace she receives.
• With trace, he can enhance her ranged attack and move allies around the battlefield.
• He takes advantage of allied units when they are destroyed because she gains trace, making Husk excellent company for him.

Feudom Officers

Feudom (2 miniatures)

The Magister is a commander who acts as an inspirational leader and tactical coordinator. His value lies not in his personal combat prowess, but in his unique ability to empower the non-Noble units in his army, acting as a catalyst that transforms ordinary troops into effective forces.

What do they bring to your army?

• Allows multiple activation of units that do not have the Noble keyword.
• Provides extra command tokens by including non-Noble units.
• Takes advantage of forming a mixed army of Nobles and commoners.

The Commander is designed for armies that seek to dominate the battlefield through objective control and unit synergy.

• His “It Shall Not Fall!” ability actively negates the opponent’s strategy. His mere presence on the battlefield influences objectives from a safe distance, forcing your opponent to recalculate their plans for conquest.
• Allows Noble or Knight units to activate twice, either to move to a key position, charge, or use an ability.

Geneviéve, Condesa de Silem

Feudom

Geneviève is an inspirational and tactically supportive commander, designed to lead armies of Knights by coordinating units and improving their defensive capabilities.

Hunters

They are the basic unit of the Northern Tribes.

What do they bring to your army?

• Like all basic units, they are cheap in points (20) and have high availability (up to 3 of them can be included in the army).
• They are an offensive unit, which imposes the vulnerable to attack status and can return damage in defense. Empowered by the abilities of Orc Tribes Characters, they can become a very dangerous assault orcé.

Evoker

The only Mage unit in the Northern Tribes. In addition to casting spells, she can block enemy magic.

What does she bring to your army?

• She provides 1 command token, which can be very valuable.
• A spell that attacks the enemy from a distance and slows them and their nearby allies.
• A spell that enhances the devastating effect of an allied unit when it charges the enemy.
• Can reduce the stress of allied units and regroup fleeing units.

Wisemane 

For 15 points, this is one of the best Supports in the game, improving your unit offensively and defensively.

What does it bring to your army?

• Grants Fearless to your unit, meaning it is immune to the cowardly status.
• Your unit can prevent being repelled when it loses combat without having to stress (i.e., whenever you want).
• Allows you to reroll your unit’s VOL rolls, which, combined with the above points, makes your unit a bastion that will never take a step back.

Alborc
Alborc is a formidable leader who, in addition to be a great warrior, is one of the pillars of the alliance between Orcs and Varanks. This can be translated into gameplay through an ability that allows Orc Characters to join Varank units and respectively (without Alborc, Characters can only join units of their own race).

What does he bring to your army?

• He is the Officer who provides the most command (3). He is a very aggressive fighter.
• He allows you to chain the activation of two allied units (one after the other), which is a very valuable move in the game (activations are worth their weight in gold in an alternate turn system).

Njord, The Merciless 

On the battlefield, Njord is a lethal warrior leader who draws strength from each blow to continue attacking the enemy. His tattoos and 4 wounds make him a difficult Character to eliminate.

What does he bring to your army?

• 2 command tokens, which are very important for the Northern Tribes.
• Being Elite, he has a very high damage output. His attack changes ensure that he will almost always do damage.
• His command ability allows him to ignore damage, making him very resilient.
• He gains new keywords and improvements to his attack and defense rolls as he accumulates wounds.

Skin Changers

A unit with a very good attack, which has two possible configurations: an agile one in the form of an Explorer that allows it to reach any point on the battlefield, and a heavy one with a Wounds value of 4 which, together with some Support that improves its defense, makes it a difficult enemy to eliminate.

What do they bring to your army?

• With Morale 2, any Character that increases their morale or gives them Conquest points makes them one of the best assault units.
