Mortis Draconum

Mortis Draconum

Mortis Draconum is a third-generation Draconum trained to test other Draconum for worthiness and slay those that are found lacking.

The Draconum’s latest unique warrior is truly an impressive threat to any opposing army. The Mortis Draconum has Sneak Attack, a new Mage Knight special ability. Sneak Attack allows this warrior to come into base contact with an enemy and prevent them from making a free spin. Given some hindering terrain to hide behind, the Mortis Draconum can flank an enemy and contact them outside their front arc. With its high attack, defense, and damage values, the Mortis makes short work of any opposing figure it engages. Battle Fury protects the expensive Mortis Draconum from capture attempts, so committing it to a melee battle carries less risk. Unlike other Draconum, though, this figure does not have the Magic Immunity ability, so you should be wary of magical attacks.

Scalesworn Thralls are human warriors that serve the Draconum in exchange for being taught Draconum martial arts. When they have proved themselves, the chains are broken but left on their wrists to remind them of humility. Becoming a Scalesworn is a lifelong commitment.

The second of the non-unique Draconum, the Scalesworn Thrall allows you to select the strength of Draconum you need for your army. Each of the Weak, Standard, and Tough ranks is remarkably different in strength and point cost. With multiple slots of Battle Fury, these warriors are not likely to be captured, while their Battle Armor helps protect them against ranged attacks. The Scalesworn Thrall’s range values, while not large, are worth remembering, whether it’s close combat or ranged combat figures you need.
