Warcry/Tactics/Spire Tyrants

Spire Tyrants Tactics

“We are His Chosen!” Already native to the Eightpoints, the Spire Tyrants are elite gladiators who work in the fighting pits of the Varanspire. Having mastered the arena, they seek further status in service to Archaon. They are more like Warriors of Chaos-lite, or heavily armored Mauraders. Their band includes both a chaos duardin and a bestigor.

Faction Overview

Even the blood and thunder of the arena ceases to hold any allure for the Spire Tyrants. Instead, they seek greater tests, venturing out into the lethal wilds of the Eightpoints. There they look for worthy foes and challenges, hoping to earn infamy enough to gain the favour of the Everchosen. These champions retain the names and epithets they earned in the arena. They also maintain the arrogance and showmanship that defines the greatest gladiators, favouring bloody eviscerations and decapitations over a simpler, more efficient kill. The sight of such a gruesome death can steal the nerve from even a veteran fighter.

Prove your might in the battlefields of Warcry with the Spire Tyrants! Versatile, deadly and armed to the teeth, this warband is ideal for players looking for a take-all-comers warband with plenty of dirty tricks up its sleeves.
