Warhammer Quest - Chaos Sorcerer Lord and Familiars

I finished up a Chaos Sorcerer Lord and a pair of familiars this weekend. The Sorcerer Lord came from Warhammer Quest: Shadows over Hammerhal and the Familiars came from Warhammer Quest: The Silver Tower. 

Chaos Sorcerer Lord and Familiars

Chaos Sorcerer Lord

The Chaos Sorcerer Lord is, I think, the main adversary in Shadows over Hammerhal (much like the Gaunt Summoner is in Silver Tower)...?  I haven't looked into it as much as Silver Tower, as we won't be playing it for a bit... Had I been aware of that earlier, though, I probably would have put them on a more impressive base!? 

This Sorcerer could show up in any Slaves to Darkness army (which I have a few units for)! Or could be a daunting foe in a game of Warhammer - Age of Sigmar: Soulbound (the Role-Playing Game!). 

Familiars.

The familiars of the Gaunt Summoner aren't adversaries, per se - they do not move and attack, nor may they be the target of the Heroes attacks. They end up being used as tokens of sorts. When the heroes roll destiny dice, if there are any duplicate dice, those dice are discarded, the heroes check the Consequences of Destiny chart. Depending on the number of the dice discarded, there will either be an Unexpected Event (1,6) or one of the familiars will appear on the familiars show up somewhere on the board (2-5). 

If any threes are discarded, Blot, the familiar above, is placed on the table nearest the player with the most Skill cards (must be a minimum of 2, otherwise blot doesn't show up). While Blot is on the table, Heroes cannot use skill cards! 

If a Hero moves into the space where a familiar is hanging out, the controlling player and the player to their left both roll a die. If the controlling player's roll is lower, the Familiar curses them and flees. If it is higher, the familiar is moved to the Hero card until it is discarded to make use of the Boon. 

In the case of Blot, the curse is that the Hero picks a random skill card that they have and turns it upside down and it remains as such until their next respite and while it is like that it cannot be used. Blot's Boon is invoked when the Hero would draw a Skill card and draws four, instead of two! 

Getting ever closer to being able to play! I hope we can start The Silver Tower by the end of June!
