Warhammer/Tactics/8th Edition/Host of the Phoenix King

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Host of the Phoenix King is one of three Elven special armies released as part of The End Times. Specifically, the Host of the Phoenix King refers to the "loyalist" faction, comprised of High Elves and Dark Elves who choose to swear loyalty when Malekith is declared the true Phoenix King of the High Elves and an enraged Tyrion draws the Widowmaker to become the Avatar of Khaine, supplemented by Wood Elves.

Canonically, this army defeats the Aestyrion, a splinter faction led by Tyrion and based on those High and Dark Elves refusing to accept Malekith's new rule, and the two hosts are amalgamated to form the Host of the Eternity King.

Special Rules

All units in a Host of the Phoenix King replace Murderous Prowess with Martial Prowess and replace Forest Stalker with Forest Strider and Martial Prowess.

Unit Analysis

Special Characters

Loses a wound and attack compared to his Eternity King version, and his sword is D3 wounds flaming instead of D3+1. He also is a regular level 4 with access to dark and fire magic and loses the miscast protection. A decent choice who gets really good if you play Khaine magic, since he essentially gets lore master for both lores. Will get murdered in 1 on 1 combat with Tyrion Avatar of Khaine since his weapons flaming attacks will make it almost useless against Tyrion with his fireborn rule.
