When choosing heroes for your Er’Sael orc army, you should know that it is unrivalled in its use of magic. The army special rule is called “Arcane Knowledge” and is tied to the Magic Test. Therefore, when building an Er’Sael army, you will need to pay close attention to the spells purchased for your Mages.
The Mages are:
- Black Shepherd. The basic Mage in the army, who, besides having an access to magic spells and items, supports a unit during prayers.
- Alchemist. Allows you to purchase one of three special potions. During battle, the chosen potion can be used to aid the army once at a crucial moment.
The Er’Sael army is also accompanied by three Champions:
- Champion of Shadow. His area of expertise is turning unlucky rolls of your opponent into wounds.
- Champion of Sael. A very important Champion for supporting the Er’Sael Basic Unit. That unit will be more likely to benefit from several different forms of support.
- Champion of Slaughter. This straightforward Champion ensures that if the enemy has suffered losses while fighting your unit, you will have a chance to perform further attacks.
When commanding the Er’Sael army, you will feel certain superiority when it comes to wielding magic. Your opponent may aid themselves with a Dispel once, perhaps twice. But the power of the Arcane Knowledge is unstoppable…
