Deciding how to customise your Heroes with artefacts is key when writing lists. The right choice in the right place can be game changing, and Battletome: Lumineth Realm-lords is filled with magical artefacts to enhance your Leaders with powerful effects. While each has its place, today, we’re looking at some you’ll definitely want to consider!
1. Mountains’ Gift
Available to Lumineth Realm-lords armies dedicated to Ymetrica, the Mountains’ Gift does a little bit of everything you want from an artefact. With boosted damage, some extra resilience, and the chance to ignore the effect of spells, it’s a great all-round option that’ll work well regardless of who you’re fighting.
2. Simulacra Amulet
Lumineth Realm-lords armies rely on their support units to survive, with Cathallars and Stonemages offering powerful bonuses to nearby units. However, these units are also pretty fragile and easily picked off by enemy spells or shooting. The Simulacra Amulet helps them last a little longer, giving a dead Hero a 50% chance of returning to fight again!
3. Blade of Leaping Gold
Available to Scinari Cathallars, the Blade of Leaping Gold turns these supporting Heroes into respectable close combat characters – giving them the potential to slay a rival Hero or deal a killing blow on a monster! Perhaps your opponent will be more careful about taking them on next time. Long time Warhammer players may recognise this relic – and its effect – from several editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, where it was a magic item crafted by the High Elves of Ulthuan. Looks like either it made it to the Mortal Realms intact, or Teclis got nostalgic…
4. Phoenix Stone
For those willing to take a gamble, the Phoenix Stone is a potentially incredible artefact – if, that is, you can roll a 6 when you need it. When a friendly Hero dies near the holder of the Phoenix Stone, they’ve got a chance to come back! This includes Teclis and Avalenor, the Stoneheart King! Even if it might not work every game, it’s worth it for the moment when Teclis pops back up, fully healed after a tussle with Archaon!
There are even more artefacts in Battletome: Lumineth Realm-lords! Make sure to pre-order your copy this weekend alongside the incredible new models, and let us know which of these is your favourite on Facebook!
