Isabella Giovanna Luccelli

Isabella Giovanna Luccelli is a fan-made special character for the Estalia army created by the Warhammer Army Project in their fandex for this unexplored part of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world.

Born the daughter of a Tilean merchant prince, Isabella was raised by her extremely pious Myrmidian mother, and this combined with the rampant corruption she saw in her native land caused her to flee to Estalia at the age of sixteen to become an Initiative of Myrmidia's church in the Estalian city-state of Magritta, where she rose to prominence despite the hostility engendered by her origins.

As a Sister of Fury, she fought in the vanguard of an Estalian army against a great horde of Skaven, in which she was the only survivor, felling of dozens of ratmen before she fell. When her fellow Sisters from the main army reclaimed her body, they discovered she still lived - in fact, when they cleaned the blood, sweat and mud from her body, they discovered her to be completely uninjured! Naturally, this was proclaimed a miracle of Myrmida - nothing less than the return of the Last Eagle... we're not actually told what this means in Myrmidian theology, but it was obviously bloody impoertant! So much so that the previous grand master of the Myrmidian church, the La Aquila Ultima, or "Head of the Order of the Eagle", stepped down and let Isabella take her place.

Since then, Isabella has been venerated as a living saint by the Myrmidian church, although her Tilean origins vs. her loyalty to the Estalian sect has only fueled more internal conflict between the two nations. Isabella finds this deeply upsetting, and has been campaigning to find some way to reconcile the deep divide between the two nations over their shared religion. When not pursuing this fruitless mission, she can be found battling the forces of Chaos and the Undead.

On the tabletop, Isabella is a special character version of a Priestess of Myrmidia who uses up a Lord slot and costs 390 points. Her stats are: Movement 4, Weapon Skill 5, Ballistic Skill 5, Strength 4, Toughness 4, Wounds 3, Initiative 6, Attacks 4, and Leadership 9.

For special rules, she has the following:

• Fly
• Tactical Supremacy: Roll 3d6 when taking test to Rally, March, Reform, or Redirect Charge, and discard the highest.
• Blessing of Myrmidia: Isabella and unit she's with have Always Strikes First in the first round of combat.
• Divine Power: Isabella channels Power and Dispel Dice as if she were a Wizard.
• Prayers of Myrmidia: Isabelly can use three Power Level 3 Bound Spells; each is a Remains in Play Augment Spell that targets Isabella and her unit. Command the Legion grants Inspiring Presence, Shield of Myrmidia grants +1 to Armor Saves and a 5+ Ward vs. missiles, and Spear of Myrmidia grants +1 Strength< Armor Piercing (1) and Magical Attacks.
• Living Saint: Isabella is Immune to Psychology, and so are all friendly units within 12". Also, she can re-roll the casting result of her Prayers.

She carries three magic items; the Sacred Sword of Vengeace (Magic Weapon, Ignores Armor, enemies in base contact suffer -1 to hit in close combat), the Blessed Cuirass (Heavy Armor, 4+ Ward save against mundane attacks which may be rerolled) and the Light of Myrmidia (Talisman, enemy missile weapons must re-roll successful hits on Isabella).
