A Struggle for Power

Of all the mysteries of Albion perhaps the greatest is the purpose of the enigmatic figures known as Dark Emissaries and Truthsayers. These ancient wizards are erstwhile enemies and their secret battle hints at a greater struggle yet to pass. Truthsayers, the druidic warrior-wizards, the benevolent protectors of the Ogham magic grant their aid and wisdom to the followers of Sigmar and his allies, their only purpose to thwart the Dark Master and his lackeys.

However, wherever there is one the other will surely follow. If a warband successfully finds either a Dark Emissary or Truthsayer and the other warband does not then roll a D6 at the start of that warbands turn, on a roll of 4+ the opposing character appears to fight alongside the warband and is deployed at a random table edge (see 'Surprise Attack' for details). If the opposing warbands are both of 'evil' or 'good' alignment then the Dark Emissary or Truthsayer may not be sought out for the battle.

Rating: Truthsayers  increases a warband’s rating by an UNKNOWN AMOUNT of points.

The Lore of Light

2. Light of Battle: The power of light infuses one of the Truthsayer's allies, encasing them in a protective barrier of pure light.

That model has an additional save of 5+ that can be reduced in an ay against all attacks until the start of the Truthsayer's next turn. Difficulty: 6
    
3. Gift of Life: Life is at the essence of the Truthsayer's magic. Harnessing all of his power the Truthsayer restores a fallen comrade miraculously back to life!

6. Voice of Command: The booming resonance of the voice of the Truthsayer echoes across the fens and enemies quake with indecision and doubt.

Difficulty: 9
