Terror-Sons of fire cause terror in their enemies.

One with the Flames- The Sons of Fire hurls fireballs from their hands, incinerating their foes. This counts as a ranged weapon with the following statistics.

Range---Strength
16"-------- S4.

Flaming attack, Magic attack

When the enemy that they are shooting at is within 12, the fireballs Strength is increased to 5.

In addition they receive a 5+ ward save.

Fire Spirit- The fire that surrounds the Sons of Fire is a deadly weapon in close combat, burning their opponents. Before other attacks are made, every model in base contact with a Son of Fire takes a S3 flaming hit. This happens before any attacks are made in close combat (even before chargers) all deaths caused by the fire counts towards combat resolution.

Choir
205
Unit size: 1
M4 WS5 Bs4 S3 T4 A0 I5 4W Ld8
Nominate an enemy unit, within 40 inches and Line of Sight, and not in combat. That unit must take a leadership test. They may not use the generals ld for this test and they may not use a battle standard re-roll. If the unit that failed its leadership test is an infantry Or an Ogre-sized model’s unit then they take 2d6 wounds. If the unit that failed its leadership test was a unit on bases larger than infantry units then this unit takes D6 wounds. No armour saves are allowed
against these wounds, though ward saves are.

Whenever a unit loses 20% of their models to the choir, they must immediately flee, as though they failed a panic check

This affects Unbreakable, Immune to Psychology, or any unit that is assumed to automatically assume to pass its ld test.

Angelic Robes: 6+ Ward
Hand Weapon
Unit Strength: 6
Makes it a little more useful, and the second bit is just clarification

Aneali - 17pts
unit size 5-15
M4 Ws5 Bs4 S4 T3 W1 I5 A1 Ld9

Angelic Flight
Angelic Charge
Heavy Armor
Halberds
”Death From Above…”

"Death From Above..."

After all units have been deployed (including Scouts), place a marker anywhere on the field for the unit that will appear.

At the beginning of each Angelic Beings turn, roll a d6.
Turn 1 - No roll
Turn 2 - 4+
Turn 3 - 3+
Turn 4 - 2+
Turn 5 - Automatic

When the angels descend roll the scatter die and the artillery die, if you roll a hit the marker stays in place, if you roll an arrow and a number, move it accordingly. If a misfire is rolled consult the mishap table. Place the unit so the the center model of the first rank is where the marker was, facing the nearest enemy unit.

If the marker lands inside an enemy unit it counts as charged and the angel unit causes d3 impact hits at their basic strength with no armor save allowed (the angels are crashing into the unit and causing some damage). Move the front rank to the nearest edge that the marker landed next to.

Mishap Table
1-2: The angels lose control and crash into the ground. They count as destroyed.
3-4: The angels come in too fast and slam into the ground. They take d6 S4 hits w/ no armor saves allowed.
5-6: The angels stumble as the land. They may not move this turn. If charged, they may only hold as a charge reaction.


SPECIAL WEAPONRY
-These are not magic items but may be chosen by either Vengances or Characters for the points cost indicated.

These weapons replace the models standard weaponry, and no other magic weapons may be taken. Scepters may not be taken in pairs, though they may be taken with a shield.

If taken by Vengences the entire unit must take the same Sceptre.

Scepter of the Storm
-The angel's Scepter is filled with the power of a sleeping storm within it, it crackels as lighting shoots out of it scorching all enemys of the angel in close vicinity. The Scepter of the Storm grants the angel Magical attacks, in addition the angel gains an additional S2 attack when in close combat. These attacks are made at the angels initiative and count towards comabt resolution as normal.
+5pts Per Vengences +6pts Per Character

Scepter of the Flame
-The angel's Scepter is filled with the power of the sun itself and is able to smash through armour as though it wasent there, while in fact the heat of the sceptre has melted it to nothingness. The scepter of the flame grants the angel Magical and flaming attacks, in addition the angels attacks are armour peircing.
+5pts Per Vengences +8pts Per Character

Scepter of the Land
-The angels physical form becomes bound to the land while weilding this scepter, and his skin becomes as hard as rock. Unfortunatly due to his binding to the land the angels wings wilt and die leaving him grounded, however the binding gives him the unatrual ability to survive enemys blows when others would perish. The scepter of the land grants the angel Magical attacks, in addition the angel gains +1 Toughness and a 6+ Ward save. However he loses the special rule "Angelic flight".
+5pts per Vengences +7pts Per Character (do not gain ward save bonus)

Scepter of the Heavens
- Although the name may seem a link to the angelic beings unearthly plain it mearly gives the angels to become one with the air, being able to fade into and out of it almost impossibly, dodging enemy blows as if they were nothing. The Scepter of the Heavens grants the angel Magical Attacks, in addition whenever they are in close combat, due to there ability the opponent is always at -1 to hit.
+5pts per Vengences +7pts per Character

Scepter of Ascension
-The few angels whom choose the path of ascension do not become one with the elements as others do, but rather take on a completly unique path. They drain the power from the chaotic evils that are the winds of magic around them by dissolving them. They are prehaps the most Ethereal of there kind teetering on the edge of exsistence in several plains at once it is hard to say what they truly are. The Scepter of Ascension grants the angel magical attacks. In addition they gain the Ethereal Special rule a 4+ Ward save against all attacks. However because of there odd exsistence they suffer from instability in the same way as Daemons do.
+5pts per Vengences +8pts Character

MOUNT
Nova Dragon
-May be taken as a mount by A cherubim. If chosen the dragon takes up an additional Hero Slot in the army.

-----------------M---Ws---Bs---S---T---W---I---A---Ld
Nova Dragon--6----6-----0----7---6----6----5---4---10

(+370pts mount for Cherubim)

Special rules-
-Terror: Nova dragon causes terror

-Flight: A nova dragon has massive wings and may fly

-Large Target: The Nova Dragon is a large target

-Un breakable bond: If the Cherubim rider dies while riding a nova dragon no roll on the monster reaction chart is needed. The Nova dragon automatically Hates the unit/character that killed its master and will always charge it if the dragon can. If the dragon succeds in killing the enemy character/unit that slew its master it returns to normal control by the angelic beings player for the remainder of the battle.

-Angelic Wards: Being not of this world Nova Dragons gain a 6+ ward save, the dragons attacks are also magical.

-Scaly Skin: 3+

-Arcane Magic: The nova dragon may become a wizard a level 1 wizard at (+50pts). He will always use lore of fire and genrates power and dispel dice in the same way as any other wizard.

Lore of the Ancients
Angelic Blast – (cast on 6+)
Counts as Magic Missile with Range 24” doing D6 S4 hits. If a unit with the Daemonic Special rule takes a wound from this spell they must take an immediate instability test. The amount of models lost to the spell count as the amount the daemonic unit lost combat by.

The Enemy is Weak - (Cast on 7+) Remains in play for one turn
This spell can be cast on one friendly unit within 12" line of sight of the caster including units in close combat. Until the beginning of the caster's next turn the chosen unit may not be wounded on anything better than a 4+. (eg- A dwarf warrior with GW hits the angel. Normally he would be wounding on a 2+, but if TEIW is in play then he would wound on 4+ instead)
All the normal RIP disadvantages (can't cast another spell, and so on) and it'll be good.

Wings of Light - (Cast on 8+) Remains In Play
A warm light envelopes the wings of the angels and lifts them into the air. This spell may be cast on any Angelic unit within 10”. If successful, next turn the unit's Angelic Flight move is increased to 16”. RIP.
It’s a really powerful spell, as of now. I made it RIP and decided to make it within 10", not 18 as it was before.

Azrael’s Protection – (cast on 9+)
Can be cast on any friendly Angelic unit within 18” of the caster. Gives that unit a 5+ Ward save until the casters next magic phase.
It was too powerful.

Seraphaal's last wish- (10+)
All angels within 12" of the caster get +1 to strength, WS and I


Shining Light of the Old Ones Cast on 12+ Lasts 1 turn
This spell can be cast by the caster on himself. Blinding Light bursts forth from the angel, surrounding all nearby units. Very few can bear to look at the light, such is its radiance. All shots at any Angelic unit that is within 6” of the caster have a –2 modifier. Any model in close combat with a unit within 6” of the caster suffers –1 to hit
