HALLAR THE SWORD MASTER (225 points)
+75points for the Sword of Victory.

Hallar of Caledor is the most talented swordsman in all Ulthuan. Scion to one of the most influental and wealthy families in Caledor, Hallar is an Elf of most noble bloodline.

He is capable of slaying a Dark Elf assassin in single combat, or challenging the greatest of the princes of Caledor to a match of swords and emerging victorious. Both prince Tyrion and Phoenix King Finubar take personal lessons lessons from him. After arrving to the Tower of Hoeth to study martial arts, it took him but a score of years to rise into a dominant position in the famed order of the Sword Masters.

Mighty though he is, his personality is flawed by the sin of pride. He belives that he is invincible, and that the High Elves are a vastly superior race compared to any other. Teclis the loremaster is deeply concerned about his young disciple, but Hallar comes from such a noble family that even he can only hope that one day the Sword Master will learn some humility.

In battle, Hallar is a terrible opponent. Usually his enemies do not even get a chance to draw their weapons before they are cut to pieces by Hallar`s twin swords.

Hallar is very handsome, and sports long golden hair. He wears a suit of scale mail made from Ithilmar, the most precious metal in the Known World. He is also know for his sarcastic and witty style of conversation. You may include Hallar in your army as an independent character (1 Lord choice and a Hero choice). He may not be your general. He is far too busy admiring himself to lead an army!

WEAPONS/ARMOUR: Hallar wears heavy armour and is armed with a magic sword and an additional sword. He can thus make a fifth attack using his normal strenght with this additional sword.

MAY RIDE: Hallar may ride a Dragon (for the cost noted for High Elf Dragon). Any other creature would be beneath his dignity! Normally, though, he walks to battle, preferring this spartan way of travel that shows his "humility."

MAGIC ITEMS: Hallar may carry up to three magic items, but first of these must be a magical sword. He prefers the mighty Sword of Victory, but his extensive collection allows him to choose any blade normally available to a High Elf character. He may not swap his heavy armour with any magical armour, though he may still choose a magical shield. He can buy a maximum of 125 points of magic items. Taking Victory means taking a magic item.

SWORD OF VICTORY: This is the magical sword favoured by Hallar. It`s his family`s heirloom, and thus only he can use it. It is a marvel of craftmanship, razorsharp and beautifully decorated with gems. It enables Hallar to always strike first. In addition, Hallar will always qound an enemy on a roll of 2+. The edge of the sword is keen, and gives an additional -1 modifier to any armor save rolls.

SPECIAL RULES

PRIDE
Hallar may not join any unit that includes any other troops than High Elves. He detests fighting with anyone of obviously lower status. If he is leading a unit, no Human of Wood Elf character may join it. He must always issue Challenges when possible, and must always accept if a challenge is issued on him.

PARRY
Hallar is the greatest swordsman in the White Tower, and very possibly in all Ulthuan. He can therefore parry one hit that any of his opponents makes against him. He can only ever parry 1 attack in one H-T-H combat round, no matter how many attacks his opponents have, or how many opponents he is fighting. Hallar can choose wich opponent misses his/her hit.

STYLE
Hallar is blindingly fast and termendously agile fighter. He can dazzle his opponents by his amazing swordsplay. Any enemy models in Base-to-base contact with him must take a LD chek just like for psychology. If the test is failed, then his opponents can hit Hallar only with a roll of 6. If the test is succesfull, then no penalty applies. This ability does not affect any opponent that is not truly alive, like Daemons and Undead.


Witosedikassa tällä jampalla oli T4 ja Ws9. Ne on muutettu T3 ja Ws10. Challenge-säännöt on lisätty "Pride" kohtaan.

Tätä haluaisin jopa kokeilla. Osaahan tuo tapella aika mukavasti... Kenraalina vain ei saa heilua.

Jaah, huomautinkin tuon miekan sopivvudesta nykyedikkan jo, +2 to woundiin on jotain, mitä en ole missään nähnyt. Ehdotuksenihan oli, että se woundaisi vaikka aina 2+ (ei kyllä kovin paljon eroa loppujen lopuksi, tuolla se on hieman kuin S6 asteen pienemmällä armour modifierillä ja lyö ensin. Ja hintaa vaikka sitten 75 pts, sillä olin aiemmin ehdottaessani unohtanut tuon "keen" ominaisuuden.
Tuo tuntuu tietyssä mielssä hieman ristiriitraiselta, muttei pahasti ja on ihan sääntöjensä kannalta kunnossa. Parry on kelvollinen, hyväkin. Tyrionillahan taitaa olla sama sääntö. Ja Pride on sitä peruskauraa erikoishahmoilla, jotka osaavat tapella ja pidän säännöstä suuresti. Style taasen on verrannolinen useisiin magic itemiehin, mieleen tulee ainakin Glamourweaven lähisefekti. Mutta nykyisin hahmoilla on aina omat peruskamansa, vain Sisters of Twilightillä taitaa olla minkäänlaista valinnanvaraa ja vain ratsussa. Tietenkin myös lisäase tuntuu oudolta, tyyppi on miekkamarsu ja pystyy ratsastamaan tai ottamaan kilven, hieman turha kenties? Ja onko tuo fluffi virallista, ottaako Finu-pappa todellakin vielä miekkailutunteja? Ja Tyrkka vielä nykyäänkin aikamuodon puolesta? Tuntuu hieman oudolta.
Siinäpä minun kommentaariotani, muuta en ainakaan vielä rupea sanomaa, enemmän asioihin perehtyneet varmaan jatkavat...

No nyt se Victory on muutettu. Ylihuomenna sitten Empireä vastaan lähtee tuo jätkä. Ja säännöt ovat mitä ovat, enää en lähde niitä muuttamaan.
