Wyrd: The Horomatangi – Commander of the Cult and the Hordes
This ancient beast from Malifaux was a powerful spellcaster and brutal overlord that commanded the Gibbering Hordes that were unfortunate enough to live near its territory.
The Horomatangi first first started terrorizing Earth in the mid-sixteenth century, but it lost all of its magical abilities on the other side. It tried to regain these powers by attacking the Maori people in New Zealand, but failed and was eventually beaten back into the depths of the ocean by the Ngaatoro sisters.
The appearance of the Burning Man and the arrival of magic has started to wake the creature from its slumber. It is building up strength and taking control of the Hordes once more.
On the table, Horomatangi can serve either the Cult of the Burning Man or the Gibbering Hordes. Unlike most Commanders, Horomatangi is a Titan and has less Scrip to hire its forces.
Horomatangi makes up for this deficiency with its incredible power. Its high Armor of 12, which increases to an amazing 13 in Glory, makes this ancient beast incredibly difficult to hurt.
Defense is not Horomatangi’s specialty, however: violence is. It is dangerous either in melee or at range, and its passive Cloud of Steam Ability ensures that it is dangerous for enemies to even be in proximity to Horomatangi.
The Bellow of Command Action is a potent Morale Action that can provide a big bonus to allies or a big penalty to enemies. Alternatively, Horomatangi might choose to simply lay waste to its foes with an endless assault generated by its Mighty Willpower Action.
