Wargrove of Woe Melee Infantry

Cave Bats

The bat species that inhabit the darkest reaches of the forests are known to be some of nature’s most noisome and nasty assailants. When compelled to do harm, they appear from the shadows in a hail of claws and teeth to cause fatal injury to any caught in their deadly swarm. Out in the wild they are as any other flying carnivore with a taste for fresh blood, often thriving near the top of a territory’s food chain, at least for a time. Those familiar with forests of the Old World know to stay away from unfamiliar caves in the middle of woodlands rich in smaller fauna, for it is likely they are being inhabited as roosts by the foul, flying monsters.

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
• Expendable
  Witnessing friendly expendable units rout does not reduce other units' leadership, unless they are themselves expendable.
• {{tr:guerrilla_deployment}}
  
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Forest Stalker
  Wood Elf units gain accuracy benefits when fighting in forests.
• Weak Against Armour
  This unit's attack can hardly punch through armour and is thus wasted on heavily armoured enemies.
• Vanguard Deployment
  This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
• Expendable
  Witnessing friendly expendable units rout does not reduce other units' Leadership, unless they are themselves expendable.
