Fighter's Overview

Leader

• Blazing Lord
  • Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 20; 190 Pts.
    • Rule: Leader, Brute
    • Weapons:
      • Sword-Range 2"; Attacks 4; Strength 5; Damage 2/6
  • Fighter Commentary - He is the only leader available to the Scions so you have to take him. You do however get someone very useful for the points. His 2” range strength 5 weapon helps make up for his very average movement, and gives him an easier time to wound most of his foes than your average cultist leader. His damage is a respectable 2/6 which can be buffed with a double to get up to 9 damage on his crits. His leader triple will buff up the attacks of his Allie’s within 6” that have a range of 3” or less and helps the whole warband be killer, just like their leader. All in all you could do a lot worse.
