    “It is no small thing, to truly kill something. Ending a life is easy, but to truly kill something, you must go further. Kill its memory, kill its inheritance. Find every root and branch of its family and burn them. Salt the very earth that it walked upon. Only when you have left no trace that it ever existed, have you truly killed something.”
    Attributed to Kwan-Xi, warrior philosopher of the Jade City of Shyish.

    The ruins lay tumbled throughout the skeletal dead trees like a giants toys, thrown aside and discarded by their owner. Weathered granite and dusty marble, choked with twisted ivy and broken roots, statues whose features were lost to the uncaring passage of time; they all lay abandoned in this forgotten corner of the Darkwood.
     
    Ilaranim repressed a shiver – even for the cold and eternally dying forest of the Darkwood, this pace was devoid of the song, the pulse of life that all treekin felt. It was a cold, dead space, a void that lay empty of everything. Everything, except that which the King’s Reeve, Blessed Loclaranam, had brought her here to see. He stood with her now, in the shadows of twisted boughs and gently falling drifts of snow, his huge bulk smoking with puissance and the musk of animals. His presence made her sap run hotter, a heat that bloomed throughout with the whispered promise of so much, if only she would join her song to the Hunt and run.
     
    “I do not understand, Great One. What gifts can be found here?”
     
    “Patience little sister. Our guest is… shy.”
     
    “Guest? I see no one, feel nothing –“ Ilaranim froze as a deep rumbling growl spread through the frozen air. It was a predators warning, and more than that, more than a simple beasts call. It filled the ruins like thunder, was something you felt in your soul as much as heard with your ears. It was the promise of fear, of hot breath on the back of your neck, and sharp teeth in your flesh.
     
    “I will tell you of the Jheck, little sister, and of their godling. I will tell you of the great she-wolf they worshipped, and of how she and all her pups were hunted and killed by the hands of the Crone.”
     
    Amongst the ruins, Ilaranim caught a flash of silvery-white fur. It moved like smoke, difficult to follow and impossible to grasp.
     
    “I will tell you of the single pup, the runt of the she-wolf godlings litter, that they wounded and thought dead, and of the mistake that the Huntsman of the Crone has made.”
     
    And in the cold, moonlit air, it stepped into view. A great white wolf, impossibly large, its lupine form wavering like fog in the frozen night. It stood, painfully lean, agony carved into the snarl that twisted its lips around its maw. Crimson blood fell from a gaping wound where one eye used to sit, the other gold-rimmed eye burning with a pain and anger that was more than animal in nature. The primal, divine growl filled the cold air still, an almost physical force that Ilaranim could feel pressing against her.
     
    “This is our gift. The Child of the God-beast, wounded and raging, and but a fraction of the power of its dead kin. But more than enough. More than enough to tear the rotted heartwood from this Grove.”

    EDIT: I'll also note that stacking multiple +1 to save from the same source is something that will be very easy to FAQ, and if Fyreslayers do end up being kinda broken because you can stack them up to 2+ rerollables this will be the kind of fix that won't need to wait for a points adjustment opportunity.

    There is no need to stack battlesmith to arrive to 2+ (it's quite clear battlesmith will be faqed) they start with 5+ , 4+ with 1 battlesmith, 3+ with the prayer, then u can go 2+ with cover or with the Auric battalion. 

    Speaking of movement HG with prayer or Trait can run and charge , considering they can auto-run 6 and that the runefhather CA give them +1 charge stackable they can cover a lot of ground, we are speaking of 17-20 inch in one round. With vostarg Lodge u don't even need to use cp to run 6 and to add the first +1 charge. 

    As @Qaz was saying a model cannot contest more than 1 objective but a unit can contest even all the objective simultaneously. 

    BTW just to be clear, I'm not moaning about how op fyreslayers are :D just pointing out combo and strength I see in the new battletome, I'm converting a force of fyreslayer too :D

    Actually a well buffed unit of 30 hb with hermdar Lodge, Lord of the lodge battalion and buff from 2 priest and battlesmith coul be an horror like this:

    2+ rerollable save, 4+ fnp, - 1 to be hit - 1 to be wounded, fight 2x phase and unbreakable 

    And thats not even accounting for rune Alliance ability or specific magical items. 

    Regarding the wolly within the runefhather on maghmadrot with 24"diameter and large base will have no problem, the battlesmith can take standard to augment his range to 18 with 36 diameter.

    How do the sizes match up from your GW figures vs. the ones from RN Estudio? They look like they'll make great "standouts" from the rest but I'm never sure about how scale actually lines up. 

    This one is a 54mm, it's about the height of a ironjawz warboss or slaughter priest, but considering it should represent a demigod of some sort I feel it's appropriate for him to be taller then the troopers, and considering the size of the God-beast a smaller figure would have been overshadowed.

    And as promised..... Here we have our general! 

    A demigod and his God-beast made real by the sheer faith of the barbarian tribe of ghur... Balder & Habrok

    There's still some work to do, I have to add cork to the base and make it more scenical  and I have to add the weapon to Balder, but the final effect and pose would be really close to this. 

    In game he will be an anointed with frostheart Phoenix. 

    Hope u like it!
