Hand of the Shadow Crown

The Shadow King’s right-hand Elf is just as committed to the Druchii’s destruction as his murderous monarch.

The Shadow Warriors, Alith Anar’s masters of irregular warfare, are the elite warriors of the Elven race. From among their number, the Shadow King raises up the greatest warrior with the greatest grasp of strategy and tactics to be his ‘hand’, who advises him and carries out his will with a furious precision. On those occasions where Alith Anar’s force must split into two, the Hand of the Shadow Crown leads the second contingent, bringing death to the Dark Elves with the same ruthless efficiency as his unswerving liege.

Abilities

  • Loose!
    The authorisation to loose arrows without adherence to drill makes for an irregular - and therefore far deadlier - hail of pointed death.
  • Martial Prowess
    High Elves excel as warriors, having trained in martial disciplines for the equivalent of many men's lifetimes.
  • Slippery
    Those who are "slippery" cannot be cornered or pinned - they simply "slip" away…

Attributes

  • Encourage
    This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
  • {{tr:guerrilla_deployment}}
  • Fire Whilst Moving
    This unit can fire while on the move.
  • Stalk
    This unit can move hidden in any terrain.

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Good Range
    This unit has a larger range than most other units of the same class. This allows it to take out hostile missile units before they can come into firing range.
  • 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.
  • Stalk
    This unit can move hidden in any terrain.
  • Master Ambusher
    This unit can move whilst hidden in any terrain, firing in any direction even whilst running!
