Age of Sigmar: Fyreslayer Battlesmiths Bring The Ward Save To Their Fiery Kin
Looking to amp up your Fyreslayer survivability? Then bring a Battlesmith with you to the tabletop for the Ward!
It might start as a 6+ Ward but Battlesmiths bring some other tricks to the tabletop, too. What can these tall tale telling devotees of Grimnir do? Let’s take a closer look!
“These bombastic ballads set ablaze the ur-gold runes of Fyreslayers wholly within 12”, inuring them to incoming damage with a 6+ ward.** Once per battle they can go even harder on the recitations, tossing in a few spicy synonyms and adjectives to give one unit a 5+ ward.”
That’s actually a pretty large footprint. Which is going to be handy because it does require the friendly units to be WHOLLY within. That said, they’re probably going to want to be in shouting distance for the cool stories the Battlesmith tells anyhow.
If this was the Battlesmith’s only trick, it would be worth bringing along already. However, there is another ability that might just be even better.
This is an incredibly potent option for your Fyreslayers to get back into the fight. When the Battlesmith issues this command to a unit, they get to bring a model back on a 4+ instead of a 6+ which is kind of bonkers. And he can issue those commands at 18″ away due to his Totem keyword.
Considering how much synergy the Fyreslayers have for fighting, dying, getting buffed from their fallen friends sacrifices, and then having them get back up this seems like a good way to feed that engine.
The battletome for the Fyreslayers is going up for Pre-Order this weekend! Things are about to heat up of the followers of Grimnir.
Fight, die, live to fight again!
