@Khel Not much is known about Lokhir Fellheart. His last name is suggestive. Could be a nickname. His first name sounds relative to the scandinavian god Loki, who was the master of treachery and deception. He has a title: "Lokhir Fellheart, Captain of the Tower of Blessed Dread." The mask ...

In Naggaroth, the nature is so harsh that nobody dares to dispute our homebase. So we are free to roam the entire world.

I've seen somewhere in D.net that the 2nd RhB is an option for ALL corsairs, not only the champ. Cost 3pts. That leaves a line of shooty corsairs as an interesting alternative to investigate. About the basic ones, I expect that the new Lokhir Fellheart will make an interesting combo with some standa...

5 wide is more maneuverable.

Comparison between corsairs and ordinary DE need to take into account that with hatred, corsair re-roll two attacks when most other units reroll only 1. So the pts evaluation of hatred should be higher. This explains the apparent high cost of corsairs: they benefit more than other units from hatred....

@dggrj - thanks for the answers. Clarifications below: "2 CoC"? - No, only 1. It takes up a single special slot, or possibly none at all if a Master can have it as special-free mount (still unsure). I considered it a good idea to take a CoC for a noble, hence providing a better Ld to overc...

Sure! If the opponent has little shooting, that's OK. You could even mount the sorc on a DS and jump from this unit to a similar one in vicinity, in case it was threaten. Against heavy shooting, I would add a shield, or consider to take corsairs instead. Another option is to hide the cheap unit behi...

I just noticed that the UK websites has updated their range of DE models.
Now harpies are listed as core.
Most new minis appear with "preorder".
Assassins, new sorc, new CO-mounted heroes, new corsairs are there.
