Out of 4 shots, this was the least dark. Whatever. The Regnum heroes are a brooding bunch now I guess... |
- 2 Mounted ASBs (3 total)
- 1 Mounted Wizard (3 total)
- 1 Mounted Hero
- 1 ASB on foot
- The Captain, on foot
The ASBs are nice cheap sources of Inspiring, and the hero is a quick, disposable unit, ideal for chaffing things up or disordering enemy units that need it.
The Mounted Wizard is a wonderful mobile casting platform, and this will be my third mounted wizard. Mounted and swapping lightning in for fireball seems like a decent option... but I am years and years behind on the Kings of War scene... there are a lot of spells and configurations I haven't tried.
Most of these are very straightforward units. The Captain, however, is not.
Previously, I'd have argued that he isn't worth it, and that if you want to mess with the deployment phase, the Scrying Gem is a much, much cheaper way to go about doing so.
However, I have heard rumblings on the internet about changes to the poor Captain with Clash of Kings 2019. However, I don't have the book yet, and no one elaborated exactly on what the changes are... so we'll leave discussions regarding the Captain for an indeterminate future date, hopefully after a few games exploring his new abilities!
Here's Cap's updated statline as of COK19:

Updates in bold ;)
My book is still in transit, so thank you very much for the info! The internet posters got Rallying, and that was it. Very interesting changes... will definitely need to give the Captain another go. Thank again for the info!
