  • A Saearath can either be used as a normal spear or a spear-stave. A spear-stave follows the normal rules for spears, but Requires Two Hands and adds +1 Attack.

  1. Man, I have to say that I LOVE what you did with Forest Spirit and, most of all, with Orion!! Finally he is a viable Lord to play, thanks!!

  2. Everything looks beautiful, nicely done! Am glad to see Warhawk Riders no longer have Elven Grace. ;)

    I do have 1 suggestion, if I may...

    Warhawk Riders have a rule that doesn't actually exist: Flying Cavalry.

    I would like to suggest that you create a rule for it on the Warhawk Rider description page, basically giving them Fast Cavalry (this is how we've been playing them anyhows).

    FLYING CAVALRY
    This flying unit is otherwise treated as Fast Cavalry in all regards.

  4. I also noticed a change in the Lore of Athel Loren, which is a bit confusing...

    Was: unit immediately recovers 1 Wound worth of models,

    Now: unit immediately recovers 1 Wound (rounding up to 2) worth of models,

    Rounding up to 2?
