Spotlight: Dark Legion Alakhai the Cunning

In the Lore:
It is said of the Nepharite Overlord Alakhai the Cunning that he was first of his kind that Mankind set eyes upon; that in doing so Humanity knew fear as it had never before experienced in any war that was ever raged throughout its turbulent history.
Alakhai is known as the most cunning of all Algeroth’s Nepharites. His battle plans and war strategies are nigh impossible to predict or to counter. He engages in numerous distractions and deceptions, all designed to weaken his foe and to render them defenceless at the very moment of the attack. Without even realising his vulnerability, the Nepharite Overlord’s enemy finds his army undermined in every manner imaginable, from deployment to logistics. When Alakhai’s attack comes, it is the killing blow delivered from the darkness. It is the executioner’s strike from the least anticipated quarter. The attack is brutal, overwhelming and unstoppable. His victory, when it inevitably comes, is total.

On the Tabletop:
Alakhai is a true beast in melee, cutting though opponents like they were never there. His passive skills Blood Drinker and Bloodbath really make him shine. Blood Drinker allows him to regain a wound lost in battle for every model killed in close combat. Bloodbath gives him a cumulative +2 Strength and AVV bonus for each successful Close Combat test. This really helps him chop through the toughest of opponents.

His active abilities augment his combat prowess as well. Enrage gives him a +2 to his rate of attack and Terror makes opponents in melee auto fail their fear check leaving them even more vulnerable to Alakhai’s onslaught of attacks.

The final active skill he has is Summon the Darkness, this ability limits line of sight to 18 inches helping Alakhai and his Forces to close on the enemy with less chance heavy losses in the early game.
