Some new Units for the Shadow Tribe

[Ruther]

As i'm a real fan of the SoK Shadow tribe i always wanted to make them look abit darker and more scary. Some time ago another Company realased some figs i fell in love with instantly and wanted to add them to my Shadowtribe  Forcelist.






I want to use them instead of the Bloodhunters from the Devoutlist wich are the legal cavalery choice for the Shadowtribe. Now i'm interessted in your opinion as i need some well balanced stats for them.

I created my stats from the Bloodhunter statline, just tweaked it  abit towards the actual look of the Figures and added the SoK special abilitys.

Shadowtribe Bloodhunter: 

Warrior

Mount
CC    RC    PW    LD    AC    W    ST    MV    AR    DEF    SZ
10     -       -     -       2      -     5      5       -      -       -

Special Abilities:

Opinions and Comments are wanted and welcome

Who hasn't proxied a mini or two for their army from this company?  Like'em, love'em or hate'em, they have really kicked it up a notch in the industry, and made people take notice.  Enough about that.

As for your troop, I love the stats.  I would enjoy seeing this on the table.  If you wanted it to be an individual, would you use the mounted axeman stats from the Firstborn list? 

[Ruther]

Its not a bad idea. I took the Firstborn Axeman Stats and the Aonbar Horsewarrior and tweaked them abit to make it fit for the Shadow SoK's
So thats what came out:

Shadowtribe Marauder:

Warrior
CC    RC    PW    LD    AC    W    ST    MV    AR    DEF    SZ
14     8       -     13     3     3      5      -      17     -4      3
Mount
CC    RC    PW    LD    AC    W    ST    MV    AR    DEF    SZ
10     -       -     -       2      -     5      5       -      -       -

Special Abilities:
Commanding Presence
Forest Warrior
Ice Warrior
Ferocity
Cause Fear
Mounted Troop

Equipment:
Dark Axe (ST+5)
Warshield

Struckture: 1 Marauder

I think you should keep doing this--I was thinking of starting a Shadow Tribe army and would love to have some cool troops like this.  Cheers.

[Ruther]

I think about a Hunter and Dogs for the Shadows and a Monarch on Foot (big nasty Dark Barbarian with a huge Axe^^)  atm. I post it if i get any satisfieing results.

[joshuaslater]

The Monarch on foot is a great idea.  Or a unit of Shadow Tribe guys in the style of the Confrontation minis---dark, scary, with big axes.  Cheers.

[Ruther]

As promised the Monarch on Foot:

Shadow Berserker 

Warrior
CC    RC    PW    LD    AC    W    ST    MV    AR    DEF    SZ
14     8       -     15     3     3      5      3     15     -6      2

Special Abilities:
Commanding Presence
Forest Warrior
Ice Warrior
Ferocity
Cause Fear
Steadfast
Berserk

Equipment:
Morningstar on Chain ST+5(x2)   (negates opponents charge bonuses. Once Engaged in CC may not break away)

Special Rules:
If the Berserker is not in Close Combat, he can whirl his Morningstar around him. The attack has a reach of 2 inches and counts as a Sweep Attack (Sweep Attack rules apply).

Struckture: 1 Shadow Berserker

Pointcost: 85

Enjoy

That rocks!  Great idea for a Shadow Tribe individual.  Thanks.

[Morfdoggs]

That looks really good Ruther I think I might use him in my next game against the firstborn.

[joshuaslater]

I would love to see this model too.   

[Ruther]

I actual have the modell from the picture of my Shadow Berserker. It was a special Mini made after a Comicfigure in Germany.  Thats the Mini:

Benwick

I think after all the years i should actualy paint him
