The release of the Latari Elves draws closer, Fantasy Flight gives us a teaser on the units to be released: Deepwood Archers and Aymhelin Scions.
Fantasy Flight Games will be releasing the Deepwood Archers and the Aymhelin Scions later this year. Each unit expansion will allow players to expand their Latari Elves army with the units found in the Latari Elves Army Expansion. These expansions will also contain upgrade cards and additional tokens.
The Deepwood Archers practice until their bows are extensions of them. Their expansion pack comes with two trays of archers, eight archers in total. Their command tool allows them to stay way from enemy units and position themselves for the perfect shot. With two different march actions, they can move into position to fire then shift to line up more shots or evade. Several upgrade cards come included, such as Wind Rune which allows you use a special action modifier to perform a shift with a speed equal to the number of natural runes on the battlefield.

Nock your arrows and prepare for battle with the Deepwood Archers Unit Expansion for Runewars Miniatures Game!
The Deepwood Archers Unit Expansion includes eight Deepwood Archer Figures and two plastic infantry movement trays, enough to field a unit of Deepwood Archers or add on to the units found in the Latari Elves Army Expansion, as well as five upgrade cards.
The Aymhelin Scions march alongside the Latari to defend their homes and their expansion pack comes with two Scions with two trays and eight upgrade cards. The Scion’s unit ability allows it to spend two surge tokens to give the defender a stun token which can then be used to deny that unit a modifier. Enemy unit(s) receive an immobilize token when a Scion collides with it. This works with the powerful melee attack that they possess that uses one red and two blue die. Scion units can be fielded with one tray for fourteen points, two trays for twenty-five points, four trays for forty-two points, or six trays for sixty-two points.
The Aymhelin Scions can also be used as an upgrade within larger infantry units. The Support upgrade uses the Overgrow mechanic. Essentially, when a unit contains the Scion Support upgrade, it can receive a free shift for added mobility. The Frontline Scion upgrade can be exhausted and allows an attacking upgraded unit to add a stun token to the defender. With two surge symbols during an attack to ready the upgrade card for use once again, giving the upgraded unit the ability to take away an opponent’s modifiers as well as distribute damage.
