The Book of Cyprien Esenwein
The Book of Cyprien Esenwein Fields of Valor - Collection 7 - Heroes of Elswin
Spoiler Alert!
Character Bio: Sometimes it is difficult to perceive the difference between good and evil. This is not the case with Cyprien Esenwein. He is pure evil. On Feylund, his undead army of vampires, zombies and skeletons controls most of Annellintia and all of Morindan. He favors his Skeleton Cavalry for their speed and resilience. He fights with his vampires, often indistinguishable from the rest of the army. On Valhalla, Utgar has given much authority to Cyprien. His pure evil nature and lust for power has impressed Utgar. Cyprien fights alongside his army and leads by example, taking on the opposing armies’ greatest champion. Often, the opposing champion is cold and dead before he realizes what has happened. With each fallen champion Cyprien grows stronger. Cyprien is feared by all; even Drake has felt his chilling touch. To make matters worse, Cyprien has begun drinking the waters of the wellsprings, and he has received visions of his undead army. He believes eventually a portal will open and his entire army will join him on Valhalla. The combined attack of a huge Marro army and Cyprien’s army would bring certain doom to any opposition.

Such a cool hero! Very awesome and fun abilities. I'll be very interested in seeing how he will play out. His ability to kill 2 units in a turn is very good. He can even multi-wound very well too. Hopefully he's not too expensive. Havign a built-in healer is amazing. He has very decent defense, very high life, and has stealth flying to boot!

I will be spending a LOT of time figuring out how to beat this guy before GenCon because I know he's going to be a popular selection. I also know that he's got some counters....
Q9 if you don't want chase him. Krug if you can get him engaged. I also think that SuBakNa could smack him down. |

Yea, you have to hope that the opposing army doesn't choose a blas/glad/q9 army, cause vampire armies will get crushed

Well it looks like we've found the first weakness to Vampires...... A Blast/Glad combo with Major X17 mixed in there.

Chilling touch is probably how he'll be healing himself most of the time...
Come to think of it, he needs to fight squads to heal efficiently, and heroes are innately weak to squads... Playtesting will tell. Handle origin: I used to film comedy skits with my friends. I didn't want any cursing in them, so I made up new insults, like "dendrik". Then Sir Denrick came out, and the rest is history. |

I really like this guy. I can see him tearing up an orc army. With his old lady beefing up his special he gets even nastier. Then the whole Stealth Flying, movement 8 thing...*shudders*

I think that X17 and Cyprien would make a great combination. X17 can tie down a bunch of smaller enemy units, you know, keeping them fresh for him while he flies around the board taking out the larger ones. Then when he gets hungry, he can fly back to see what X17 has for him for dinner. X17 would be like his refrigerator.

I like this guy a lot. I think I will be taking him with swarm armies frequently. I'll use him to feast on my Orcs. Ten points killed for a wound removal? That's fair. As an undead, he's immune to zombification. |
