Warhammer Age of Sigmar Lumineth Realm Lords Vanari Bladelords

TAG     : Warhammer Age of Sigmar Lumineth Realm Lords Vanari Bladelords
GAME : Age of Sigmar

The Vanari Bladelords are an elite infantry unit within the Lumineth Realm-lords army, representing the pinnacle of Hyshian (the Realm of Light) martial discipline. They are not simply warriors; they are living weapons, each movement honed to perfection over centuries of dedicated training.

Lore & Background:

• Martial Purity: Bladelords are dedicated to the pure art of the sword. They are not concerned with arcane power or elemental magic, but rather with the absolute mastery of physical combat.
• Guardians of Purity: They often serve as bodyguards for vital Lumineth characters, particularly the Loremasters, Arch-mages, and Scinari Cathallars, protecting them with their unparalleled skill. They also guard sacred sites and ancient knowledge.
• The Way of the Blade: Their training is arduous and spans countless years. They learn to move as one, their greatswords flashing in perfectly synchronized arcs, designed to parry any strike and deliver devastating counter-blows. They embody the balanced martial aspects of Hysh.

Appearance & Equipment:

• Elegant & Deadly: Visually, Bladelords are striking. They wear fine, often light, plate armor adorned with flowing robes and intricate Hyshian runes. Their aesthetic is one of grace and lethal precision.
• Sunmetal Greatswords: Their primary weapon is the Sunmetal Greatsword, a beautifully crafted two-handed blade that hums with the refined power of Hysh. These weapons are often depicted as shimmering with a subtle light.

Role on the Battlefield (Age of Sigmar): The Vanari Bladelords are a premium elite melee infantry unit designed to be a potent offensive threat and a vital defensive bodyguard.

• Exceptional Melee Output:
  • They wield their Sunmetal Greatswords with incredible skill, often having a high number of attacks, strong hit/wound rolls, and excellent rend, capable of slicing through heavily armored foes.
  • Many Lumineth units benefit from various buffs, and Bladelords can become truly terrifying when supported by a Scinari Cathallar or other Heroes.
• Martial Perfection: Their abilities often reflect their supreme skill. This might manifest as:
  • Ignoring Rend: Some of their abilities might allow them to ignore a certain amount of an enemy's rend characteristic, making them surprisingly resilient.
  • Re-rolls: They might have re-rolls to hit or wound, ensuring their attacks land with lethal accuracy.
  • Extra Attacks: Triggering extra attacks on specific rolls, or when fighting in certain situations.
• Bodyguard Ability: This is a hallmark of the Bladelords. They typically have an ability to protect a nearby Lumineth Realm-lords Hero (often within 3 inches), allowing them to intercept wounds meant for that character. This makes them invaluable for keeping your important spellcasters or commanders safe.
• Reliable Saves: Lumineth units generally have good defensive profiles, and Bladelords are no exception. Combined with potential ward saves or other defensive spells from their army, they can be surprisingly durable for relatively lightly armored Aelves.

Strategic Use:

• Hero Protection: Their primary role is often to form an impenetrable wall around your key Heroes. March them up the field with your Loremasters or Cathallars, knowing they'll absorb the hits.
• Precision Strike Unit: While defensive, their offensive capabilities are not to be underestimated. Point them at a crucial enemy unit, especially one that relies on heavy armor, and watch them cut it down.
• Objective Holders: With their good save and potential durability, they can be good for holding vital objectives in the mid-field, especially if they have a Hero they can protect.
• Synergy with Lumineth Buffs: They shine brightest when supported by other Lumineth units, such as Auralan Wardens (for protection), Sentinels (for ranged support), or spellcasters (for defensive or offensive buffs).
