Warzone Resurrection Unit Spotlight: Dark Legion Nepharite of Algeroth

Unit Spotlight: Dark Legion Nepharite of Algeroth

In the Lore:
Nepharites are the most powerful creatures serving within the ranks of the Dark Legion. They are the evil lieutenants that drive the armies of darkness at the behest of the Dark Apostles. Nepharites exact tyrannical control over their minions and the slightest failure is rewarded with a fate more unimaginable than death. They always radiate calm and lead their army with cold efficiency and command their forces with mighty battle cries. They vary in rank and power with the most powerful being designated Overlords, who answer only and directly to their Apostle. Nepharites are fearsome towering behemoths capable of unimaginable vigour and evil. All Nepharites hunger for power and seek the favour of their Apostle.

Nepharites of Algeroth are the most brutal of all Nepharites; the homicidal embodiment of war itself. Each is enormous with a mighty musculature and commanding physical appearance. They are devoted to the art of war, always leading their forces from the front. They gladly participate in the wanton destruction being carried out and stalk the battlefield searching for new victims. All, except the highest echelons, march to war carrying the vicious pole arm known as the Azogar; its wide chain-bladed head tears all but the mightiest of opponents to bloody shreds in seconds. They march to battle, clad in a shining dark armour, adorned with vile heraldry and repulsive patterns. Many also carry the mighty Fist of Malice machine gun, a weapon which is as much a mark of position as it is a death dealing propeller of Dark Symmetry. The Nepharites take great malicious gratification watching the foes of Algeroth become nothing but a bloody mist when hit with their Fist. Some prefer to deal a less than fatal blow with their ranged weapon, so they can take sadistic pleasure watching and hearing their victim writhe and scream in pain and terror as they walk slowly towards them. They smile as their dead eyes pierce their victims soul and the Azogar shreds their sternum.

On the Tabletop:
The Nepharite of Algeroth is a beast in melee, wielding the vicious Azogar polearm. He is also armed with the Fist of Malice HMG which gives him some punch at mid ranged firefights. The Forceful Blow passive skill gives the Fist of Malice Critical Force and Damage 2 for all its hits. If your enemies are close and bunched up Turn to Burn a Resource card and use the Unholy Flachette shotgun template.
He is a great buff hero as well with the Active: By My Will special skill allowing all Undead Legionnaires within 8 inches of him to run which is something Legionnaires cannot usually do.

The Active: Algeroth’s Warcry special skill can potentially stun all enemy models within 3 inches, which can be brutal in melee.

He may also take 2 Dark Symmetry powers for the cost associated with the chosen powers.
