Warcasters, on their own, are one-figure armies. Changing one out can change the way the rest of the force plays rather dramatically. Kommnader Savaryn is a Winterguard warcaster coming soon for Warmachine. Get a look at his figure and a bit about what he can do on the battlefield in this preview.
From the post:
A recognized prodigy even in childhood, young Valerii Savaryn would pore over strategic manuals of the day, especially those written by his hero, the great Gruvaldt Irusk, Supreme Kommandant of the Motherland’s forces. With his warcaster talent manifesting around at the same time, Savaryn was admitted into the Druzhina at a young age, completing his studies at 15 years of age. The stone-faced youth rose rapidly through the ranks during the troubles his tattered nation endured over the past decade. Valerii Savaryn was transferred into the newly formed Winter Korps in 620 AR at the rank of commander, though few doubt his aspirations are set much higher.
- Possesses Battle Plans.
- Can make both melee and ranged attacks in the same activation, and his sword, Headsman, has the Critical Decapitation special rule.
- His Checkmate feat says, “Savaryn can use his Battle Plans three times this activation. Additionally, while in Savaryn’s control range, friendly Faction models ignore cover and concealment when making ranged attacks and their weapons gain Blessed and Damage Type: Magical.”
