The Drakvald Darkbloods

It is I, Magister Heinrich Darkblood, Lord of my lovely Possessed. It is only a matter of time until all of the Empire is ruled by the Shadowlord, my most powerful master. Meanwhile, my warband will be at the forefront of our mission of bringing 'salvation' to Mordheim...

The Magister

The Magister, Heinrich Darkblood, is the leader of the warband and is consequently very important. He has access to the Chaos Rituals magic, and this gives him lots of deadly attacking spells. He also has leadership 8, making him invaluable when taking rout tests. If you roll a new skill on the experience table, consider giving him a new spell or a survival skill like Step Aside. However, to start with, the magister is not particularly good in close combat. He only has strength and toughness 3 and one wound, despite having weapon skill 4. This makes it worth keeping him away from dangerous targets for the first few battles, until he has some increases to his profile.

The Possessed

My Possessed, called Neee'hari, is without debate the most important model in the Warband. He is deadly in close combat, since he has a gaint claw, giving him an extra strength 5 attack, as well as a tentacle to entangle enemies with more than one attack. He is also extremely durable, due to toughness 4 and two wounds. As a result, he can take on two or three enemies at a time without too much trouble. As a large model, he tends to attract a lot of enemy attention. However, due to the fact that he causes fear, quite a few warriors will not be able to charge him. Also, he has the Sprint skill, so that he can get into combat quickly, and also get into cover if necessary. He also has the Step Aside skill to give hima 5+ save. Altogether, he cost 175 gold crowns to hire, but has proved to be worth every one.
