Even amongst the Soulblight vampires, Lady Annika’s thirst for blood is legendary. In battle, she attacks as a sanguine blur, her enchanted rapier reaping a red harvest as her foes fatally stumble and slip in the gore that inevitably pools about her feet.

Lady Annika, the Thirsting Blade, is armed with the Blade Proboscian.
The Hunger: Those who bear the Soulblight curse constantly crave blood and are empowered by feasting upon their foes.
Each time this unit fights, after all of its attacks have been resolved, you can
heal up to a number of wounds allocated to this unit equal to the number of wounds and
mortal wounds caused by those attacks that were allocated to enemy units.
Supernatural Speed: Many foes have mistaken Annika’s slender form for a fragile target, little appreciating the manic agility granted by her curse.
This unit has a
ward of 4+. During deployment, instead of setting up this unit on the battlefield, you can place it to one side and say that it is set up in ambush as a
reserve unit. If you do so, at the end of your
movement phase, you can set up this unit anywhere within enemy territory and more than 9" from all enemy units.
Kiss of the Blade Proboscian: This pitted and corroded blade should not endure - and yet, it does. The same cannot be said for anything scratched by its mouldering point.
At the end of any phase, if any wounds caused by attacks made with this unit’s Blade Proboscian in that phase were allocated to an enemy
HERO or
MONSTER, and that enemy unit has not been destroyed, worsen the Save characteristic of that unit by 1 (to a minimum of 6+) for the rest of the battle.
