The Lion’s Blade Task Force: Core Features
Detachment Rule: In the Lion’s Claws
- Ravenwing Tactics: When an enemy unit falls back from a Ravenwing unit, it must take a Desperate Escape Test. This adds significant risk to disengaging, trapping opponents under fire.
Deathwing Synergy
- Deathwing units gain +2 to Charge rolls when targeting enemies engaged with Ravenwing units, ensuring a swift and decisive follow-up assault.
Key Enhancements and Stratagems
Enhancements
- Fulgus Magna Teleport Homer: A Deathwing character can reposition themselves and their unit into Strategic Reserves, allowing for flexible redeployment and surprise strikes. Perfect for keeping Terminators where they’re most effective.
Stratagems
- Knights of Iron: Ravenwing units can move through terrain features, ignoring obstacles that would normally provide protection to their targets. This makes them even more effective in exploiting battlefield mobility.
Tactical Overview
- Ravenwing units use speed and precision to destabilize enemy lines, planting teleport homers and locking units in engagement for the Deathwing to capitalize on.
- Deathwing Terminators teleport into combat with enhanced charges and brutal efficiency, leveraging their resilience and power to crush resistance.
