Mizrachi (Miss-ra-hi)

Angels can lead many paths in their lives, most choose to remain in Ayamith and enjoy what is a relativly "normal" angelic life style. Some, however, are gripped by wanderlust, these individuals travel the world, normally in secret, discovring its wonders.

To become a Mizrachi is the first step on the path of the wanderer, some become so seperated from Ayamith they never return, others wanderlust is qunched and they return to settle down in Ayamith, most however perish in the wilderness.

When war is sounded some of the Mizrachi return and are grouped together, collectively there skill at scouting is unparalled and they are a valuable asset to the Angelic force in battle.

Angel: M4 WS5 Bs4 S3 T3 A1 I5 1W Ld8

Weapons and armour: Light armour, Throwing Knives

Special Rules: Scouts, Poison Blades, Skirmish

Scouts: Mizrachi may deploy as scouts when circumstances allow it.

Posion Blades: All attacks from Mizrachi, including shooting attacks count as posion.

What do we think about using this as our core?

GS

Non-skirmishing Scouts? Are we Dwarves now? :P

It could work, I assume they still follow Angel rules, but why are their weapons poisoned?

It feels weird to have an un-restricted scouting Core unit. I may have to think about these, call me in a few years ;)

AoAlgebra :lol:

give them 2Xhw and i will love them

they fit the "hole" in the army left by the dissaperance of crystal, i like it ia adds in a scout init like i have wanted but we never got around to (kins of night were rejected, and venginces we supost to have scout says WP).

Woohoo! 4th core, I'm happy.

Oops... added Skirmishers. Sorry again.

What do people think now?

GS

Do they still get Angelic Flight and Angelic Charge?

I'd take poison away, and add XHW. Poison and Scouts as a core? Seems too much. I'd say make it XHW instead.

Angels would never use poision. Other than that, I actually like them. Well done. I dunno about xhws either though. What did we decide to give vengiances? GWs?

Vengances have swordsticks or XHW dont they...

I think giving them XHW would make them to similar to Vengances, no?

Should we have killing blow instead if people despise the poison idea so? (im not sure i understand why angels would not use poison though...)

They have angelic flight + charge as per normal


GS

i thought it was just sword sticks= Xhw or halabard (a concept which i dont understand personaly)

also why wouldent we use poison

DA, the Swordstick is a Staff with a blade on each end of it (think of what the Satyrs in God of War have). They either take it and make strong swings with 1 Blade, effectively a Halberd, or they can make quick slashes with both blades, not a hard concept.

Even better, think of the Saearath blades the Asrai Eternal Guard use ;)

AoAlgebra :lol:

...but ignore the fact that I came up with the concept roughly two minutes after posting the new Eternal Guard pictures... ;)

Anyway.

What are we giving them, then? How about throwing knives (I know it breaks the missle weapon rule, but it's cool).

Yeah, they got the throwing knifes. I like them, they fill up a hole in the core and give a good flexible unit. THey might not be that great with the rumours about 7th edition flying around but I like them

Sean :ph43r:

They have Throwing Knives WP... Dude, you must be in pain from the Antipecker's rising.

Im just trying to think of points cost now... 15-16pts a model? Also, i will give them option for champion (but not full command)

GS

I like these guys, just giving my shout of assention, i think throwing knives and hand weapons would be fine. (or throwing knives AND x2hw)

15-16pts each sounds pretty good. Any more and they will never be used, any less and they will be too powerful.
