The Light of Eltharion is armed with the Fangsword of Eltharion and the Celennari Blade.
Celennari Blade: This blade was forged by Teclis using Celennar’s scryer-stone ores. The lunar gem in its hilt allows the bearer to predict where an opponent will be most vulnerable.
At the start of the
combat phase, you can pick 1 enemy
HERO or
MONSTER within 3" of this unit. If you do so, attacks made with this unit’s Celennari Blade that target that
HERO or
MONSTER in that phase have a Damage characteristic of 2D3 instead of 3.
Fangsword of Eltharion: The original Fangsword was a powerful heirloom of Eltharion’s mortal dynasty. The incarnation of the Fangsword wielded by the Light of Eltharion is crafted from sunmetal and has a solar jewel in its hilt, making it even mightier than the sword whose legacy it propagates.
Add 1 to
wound rolls for attacks made with this unit’s Fangsword of Eltharion if this unit made a
charge move in the same turn. In addition, if the unmodified wound roll for an attack made with this unit’s Fangsword of Eltharion is 6, that attack causes 1
mortal wound to the target in addition to any damage it inflicts.
Searing Darts of Light: Darts of brilliance hurtle from the Light of Eltharion’s outstretched fingers, shooting through nearby enemies.
In your
shooting phase, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 18" of this unit that is visible to it and roll a dice. On a 1, nothing happens. On a 2-4, that unit suffers D3
mortal wounds. On a 5+, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds.
Spirit Armour: Instead of protecting a body of flesh and blood, this armour houses the undying spirit of the mighty warrior Eltharion. Though animated by the Light of Eltharion, it is essentially hollow - even a penetrating thrust may simply pass through the glowing form within.
Ignore
modifiers (positive or negative) when making
save rolls for attacks that target this unit. In addition, halve the damage inflicted by attacks made with missile weapons or melee weapons that target this unit (rounding up).
Supreme Swordmaster: The Light of Eltharion is a consummate warrior and one of the greatest swordsmen of all time.
Ignore negative
modifiers when making
hit rolls for attacks made by this unit. In addition, if the unmodified hit roll for an attack made by this unit is 6, that attack scores 2 hits on the target instead of 1. Make a
wound roll and
save roll for each hit.
