The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior Age of Annihilation, Master Set Basic Side Army Card
Spoiler Alert!
No PDF download for printing at this time. Biography: Loviatäk is a shocking sight to behold. Anyone worthy of the Spined Armor is someone best avoided by those who value their lives. All questions about her gleaming golden axe or its procurement are met with an introduction to its edge. Her father Taelord taught her well; but his name was not what raised her in the army’s esteem. Ranks in Utgar’s army are earned with displays of savagery, and Loviatäk rises higher among his champions each day. Yes, savagery is vaunted among Utgar’s forces. Strength is the only trait that matters to him, leaving cleverness a distant and forgotten relative. With so little care given to his minions’ minds, would anyone notice if a warrior were of uncommon cunning? Will anyone see the pattern in Loviatäk’s killings, before the end arrives?

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
This is by far the figure I'm most excited about from AoA wave 1.
She is obviously a good choice in a Death Knights of Valkrill build and with her Deadly Strike gives Taelord a little more value in that army. However, I'm more interested in utilizing her Dynastic Leadership power. Evil Raelin is the best figure to pair her with in most builds. Loviatak Evil Raelin Zombies x5 480 pts. Zombies get extra benefit from the move boost since you're moving so many figures per turn. Loviatak Evil Raelin Marro Drones x6 480 pts. Loviatak and Evil Raelin together are only 20 pts. more than Su-Bak-Na. Nice to get a second option to boost a Drone army. Much like the Zombies, you will be getting extra benefit from the +1 move when you're moving 6 or 9 figures in a turn. Often with a Drone army, when you hit that 9 Drone roll it is so crowded that some of the Drones get clogged up and can't reach anyone to attack. Boosting their move to 7 will help them swarm more effectively. Loviatak Evil Raelin Tor-Kul-Na Nagrubs x3 490 pts. Tor-Kul-Na gets extra benefit from the increased move by nature of his Stomp. The Nagrubs with 7 move will help stragglers catch up to Tor-Kul-Na in time for his dinner. Loviatak Evil Raelin Ornak Nerak Blade Gruts x4 500 pts. I think Ornak's Red Flag of Fury power may have its best use case in a Loviatak/Evil Raelin build. You'll be able to bring Brutality Aura and Terrifying Aura to the front lines at the same time. Loviatak Evil Raelin Atlaga Minions of Utgar x2 490 pts. Utgar's Orders is suddenly a very useful power. Dropping Atlaga for another squad of Minions is obviously an option, but I have to try out the super speed build. Isamu, Marcu Esenwein, or Marro Warriors will fit in nicely to any of these builds if points allow. I like that her and evil Raelin are not just there to give the army +1 move, but also offer support auras that will make you want to move them into the thick of battle at some point. It will add interesting play decisions for activation timing, order marker management, and board positioning. She adds so many options for army builds, gives a new way to experience old units, may enhance the usefulness of some of those units, appears to be very balanced, and is extremely thematic. It is going to look awesome having Loviatak and Evil Raelin on the board alongside a horde of Utgar forces. For 80 pts. I may even add Loviatak to random armies by herself just for Brutality Aura. With having seen so many units over the years, it has become harder for me to be excited about a new figure, but I'm really blown away by Loviatak. |

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
Taelord's daughter?
75% chance of benefiting the Minions just as much as her dad? 80 points? Is this just errata'd Taelord? Also, who is the mother? Quote:

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
Neat piece to go with minions honestly, a rerolled die might be lower 'power ceiling' but the consistency it can bring will go a lot way with things like minions I'd think. Wish she had that 1 extra life point but not a bad figure overall.

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
If the only second Unique Utgar Kyrie in the army is eliminated, does that cancel Dynastic Leadership?

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
I don't believe you control destoryed figures, so I think you loose the bonus.

Yes, you would lose the bonus.

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
Is the intention that Brutality Aura be once per attack as opposed to once per turn? Because as written a squad of 4 figures all attacking in melee while within 4" would only be able to reroll the non-skulls for one attack and the others don't get to. Perhaps that's strong enough for her point cost, but if so it definitely isn't approaching Taelord statistics. Still, she'll get used more than Taelord just because she fits into an army easier.

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
Her and Evil Raelin with minions, now that's a lot of damage. 1 less defense enemies and reroll attack dice. Throw in marrow warriors for a 7 move squad and you got a fun army.

Re: The Book of Loviatäk the Kyrie Warrior
Her Brutality Aura could give the Deathstalkers a nice boost since they prefer rerolls over added dice to activate Maul.
