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:

    “Many heroes lived before Agamemnon; but all are unknown and unwept, extinguished in everlasting night, because they have no spirited chronicler.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

    “We become male automatically because of the Y chromosome and the little magic peanut, but if we are to become men we need the help of other men—we need our fathers to model for us and then to anoint us, we need our buddies to share the coming-of-age rituals with us and to let us join the team of men, and we need myths of heroes to inspire us and to show us the way.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)

    “Many heroes lived before Agamemnon; but all are unknown and unwept, extinguished in everlasting night, because they have no spirited chronicler.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65 B.C.–8 B.C.)
