FFG just announced a new army, the Latari Elves, for their upcoming Runewars game. Come take a look at this fantastic looking elvish army!
Set to release late May, the Runewars Latari Elves are surely a sight to see. Let’s see what Fantasy Flight Games had to say in the latest announcement.
The Aymhelin—the greatest forest in all of Mennara—stretches from the south of Terrinoth and west of the Ru to the southern ocean. Its great trees reach their ivory trunks up into pure skies, while the spreading canopies cast green-tinged shadows on the forest floor below. It is here the Latari Elves call home, their cities and palaces sweeping gracefully among the trunks of the deep wood. Now, the return of an ancient foe pulls them into the battle for Terrinoth.
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the Latari Elves Army Expansion for the Runewars Miniatures Game. The expansion not only ushers in a brand-new faction to the Runewars Miniatures Game, but offers four new units and eight new figure sculpts, enough to field an army in one of Terrinoth’s many battles.
The Leonx Riders
Though the Leonx Riders of the Latari Elves are of low status, and shunned by some for their passions and roughness, those who forge a bond with the mighty Leonx gain a share of their strength and ferocity. These riders operate alone or in small family groups, much like their beast-friends. Their attacks are unexpected by foes of the elves, and hit with a savage and brutal ferocity. A few of these beast-attuned warriors can turn the tide of a day with the surprising onslaught they bring.
Aliana of Summersong
The greatest of these Leonx Riders is their champion, Aliana of Summersong. With her shimmering Moonblade and Leonx Mount Wildcall, Aliana of Summersong commands the Leonx Riders with a strength and ferocity worthy of one who leads these passionate warriors into battle.
The Deepwood Archers
Few archers can match the mobility and range of the infamous Deepwood Archers, tasked with preventing intruders from desecrating the sanctity of the Aymhelin. The Archers are masters of positioning, able to perform a shift action for the cost of two unique surges during a ranged attack. While the shift can’t be used to disengage, it can be used to match enemy movements and get the Deepwood Archers in the perfect position for their next attack.
The Latari Elves look to be everything you would expect to see from an elvish army. Fast, strong, quick, and of course they have the looks. This expansion is due to release late May and it’s just one of the many armies that will be coming our way for Runewars.
