    AoS 2 Cities of Sigmar Discussion: Hallowheart

    I'm increasingly convinced that the real benefit of Hallowheart is not in its unique command ability.

    Casting is a random effect in itself and the command ability is also random in the scope of its buff. While there is a bit of a "feast or famine" dynamic to building around the command ability, the significant issue for me is that using the feature costs two resources: wounds and command points. Both are finite and I think better spent on options that are far less random in their results.

    That which makes Hallowheart really interesting and somewhat unique is instead its resiliency. My army has mostly 4+ or better saves, ignores harmful spells on 5+, and is often immune to battleshock. Few factions get access to all those benefits, which are readily available to multiple Hallowheart builds. Veteran of the Blazing Crusade is a great command trait and surprisingly underappreciated, as an 18" battleshock immunity aura is significant. Plus, Hallowheart has access to a heal spell to hopefully help keep that aura going into the late game.

    With a general on one side of the board and a unit of Hammerers with Dispossessed hero on the other, Hallowheart armies can often fight to the last. Further, in a current meta environment with strong magic from Lumineth Realm-Lords, Seraphon, and multiple Chaos factions, the 5+ to ignore harmful spells can be clutch.

    Lastly, even while not focusing on the command ability, I still get to benefit from Hallowheart spells and additional casting opportunities by fielding Sisters of the Thorn. Their increased movement, let alone additional wounds, help me take objectives while keeping up with the advance of my fighting force.

    Hope this helps and looking forward to the conversation!
