===Behemoth=== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-flamespyre-phoenix-en.pdf Flamespyre Phoenix]:''' ''Also counts as LEADER if ridden by an Anointed.'' It is a hard to kill SOB who is 2W/1SV less than a dragon but is more than compensated for because of his awesome defensive abilities, and when coupled with an Anointed rider it becomes an annoying bird that SIMPLY REFUSES TO DIE. If is what you are looking for, the Flamespyre won't disappoint all the while turning enemies to ashes and potentially coming back over and over again for more punishment. **The ''Attuned to Magic'' ability extends his survival by adding +1 to saves on a 2+ roll each time a spell is successfully cast (whether unbound or not) within 12", this buff lasts until the players next hero phase. OH MY. Keep your allied wizards close and you can potentially get stacking bonuses since it doesn't actually specify that it only works once each turn. **The Flamespyre's real trick is not only during combat but also when it moves, since its ''Wall of Fire'' ability inflicts mortal wounds simply by flying over other units; no need to roll to hit, wound or cast, the wounds are simply added. ''(though only on one unit at a time)'' If this bird has taken less than three wounds then we are talking about a napalm spray of D6 Mortal Wounds moving 16" each turn, but decreasing as the Phoenix gets more wounds. **If you are lucky, If/when a Flamespyre Phoenix dies ''(remembering your Attuned to Magic Buff, plus any additional saves from having an Anointed means this bird is hard to kill)'' then you roll a dice, on a 4+ the bird comes back with ALL its wounds anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from enemy units, yes, he also teleports. **The Flamespyre gains the Witness to Destiny ability when ridden by an Anointed. As if the other abilities were not enough to keep this bird flying you can now enjoy an ''additional'' 4+ save each time a wound/mortal wound is inflicted on it. Having the Anointed on board also lets the miniature wield a Great Phoenix Halberd (2"/4A/3TH/3TW/-1R/1D), but the Flamespyre prefers to keep moving around burning things rather than getting stuck in protracted combats, so take the Anointed for the extra saves. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-frostheart-phoenix-en.pdf Frostheart Phoenix]:''' ''Also counts as LEADER if ridden by an Anointed.'' Compared to the Flamesypre Phoenix, the Frostheart is an grizzled, old, durable bastard that can protect other units. While it doesn't dole out mortal wounds the same way as its younger cousin, it does have better close combat ability as Ice-Hard Talons have a better hit rate and more attacks overall when compared to Flaming Talons. **Frosthearts also have the ''Attuned to Magic'' ability just like the fiery phoenix, so glue it to Wizards for more survivability. **Frostheart Phoenixes trade Wall of Fire and the ability to respawn for ''Bizzard Aura''. Enemies within 9" get chilled and must apply -1 to their wound rolls when they choose to attack. This does not explicitly specify whether melee or ranged, even though the range of the aura is short, don't forget this as it might become relevant particularly when your Phoenix gets close to the enemy. This is a huge help to fragile friendly units who get the bonus just by being close to your bird. It also means you always get the bonus when charged against enemies!! The range goes down if it gets wounded, but for the most part it will always apply to itself at least, making it harder to kill if nothing else. **Like the Flamespyre, it can be ridden by an Anointed. In the Frostheart's case it probably benefits more, since it is the bird that is more likely to get stuck into close combat, so you'll want those extra attacks granted by the halberd, along with the buff of re-rolling failed wounds granted from the command ability. Though since it also doesn't have the ability to come back from the dead you will be depending on the added protection of the Witness to Destiny ability to keep it on the table. **Whatever version you pick depends on the role you want it to perform: The Flamespyre prefers a mobile strategy of gliding around and looking for units to wipe out with its mortal wound ability and potentially redeploying later in the game to continue burning units. The Frostheart is more of an anchor unit who can protect units with its aura while getting stuck in with its superior attacking potential.
