Wood Elves (Warhammer) - Heroes

Heroes

  • Noble

The basic Wood Elf Hero Choice. He is similar to a Highborn, but with lower status, both on the battlefield and off. He can also choose a kindred for an additional points cost, but he cannot be mounted on a dragon, and can't take as many magical items or spites as the Highborn. However, he is still a valuable addition to an army. Also, he can be chosen to carry the army battle standard, becoming a beacon for the elves in the near vicinity.

  • Spellsinger

The Spellsinger is the basic wizard in the elven ranks. They can, like the Spellweavers, take the Glamourweave Kindred. Unlike the Spellweavers, the Spellsingers are limited to the Lore of Athel Loren. For an extra point cost, the spellsinger can be upgraded to a higher level wizard.

  • Branchwraith

Branchwraiths are the most powerful dryads. They are only slightly more proficient than dryads in combat, but they can be upgraded to low-level wizards, making them an expensive, but much more durable alternative to the spellsingers. They have the added advantage of being a hero, allowing them to purchase spites (but like the treeman ancients, Branchwraiths may not wield magical artifacts.).

Famous quotes containing the word heroes:

    The world doesn’t make any heroes anymore.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    I shall not want Honour in Heaven
    For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney
    And have talk with Coriolanus
    And other heroes of that kidney.
