I need a Hero

The Kings of War lists give you lots of options for Heroes and how to equip them. As I only have one games worth of experience to build a list from then having the models to experiment with those options will allow me to build up the experience needed to choose the right hero for the right occasion. If this just sounds like an excuse to buy more models then you may be right.

I completed my Hero on flying mount in time for the fight against the Ratkin and he helped tie down a flank.

A large base and model always look threatening and can perhaps play your opponents mind more than they should do. A fast and nimble source of Inspire looks like it will always be useful and once the Dark Knights are ready and with the quick Gargoyles may combine to be a fast moving attack group.

This week I have also completed the first of my mounted Heroes and half a Regiment of Reaper Guard.

The plan is to have one each of Dark Lord, Priestess, and Standard Bearer as mounted variants to go along with the infantry variants already completed. The Games Workshop Knight models go together really well and creating the Priestess will be the only real challenge.

In keeping with the Hero production I also ordered in a few bits to create a Dark Lord with the Wings of Honeymaze magical item. This works out to the same points as the Lord on flying mount but is on a smaller base. The Lord with Wings also loses Thunderous Charge (1) but gains the Individual rule.

All of this means I have a few more Heroes to complete along with the regular units.
