Re: The Book of Arktos
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Varkaanan faction, including Arktos.
But "arktos" is the ancient Greek word for "bear", not "wolf". Was this a purposeful joke, to name one of the chief wolves "Bear"? In case anybody cares, the ancient Greek word for "wolf" is "lykos" (Latinized as "lycus"). Hence a "lycanthrope" is literally a "wolf man".

Re: The Book of Arktos
From the wikipedia entry for
"The Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also known as the white wolf or polar wolf, is a subspecies of grey wolf.."

Words are Fun
Arctic is "there are bears here" and Antarctic is "there are not bears here". Etymology is fun.
~Dysole, who nearly typed entomology which is also fun (at least she thinks so) but completely irrelevant to this discussion My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long. This sentence is not seven words long. |

Re: The Book of Arktos
The Werewolf Lord should be added to the list of synergies. Lycanthropy actually changes the class of a figure to 'Hunter', and so any figure you control affected by it is eligible to receive an extra attack die from Arktos' Hunter Attack Enhancement. This also works for any opponent's figures that you are able to temporarily gain control of through Moon Frenzy, if you happen to be running Arktos and the Werewolf Lord in the same army.

Re: The Book of Arktos
Is there a thread for discussing how to play the Vaark army generally?
I really need such a thing. Because I just can't wrap my head around how best to play this faction. |
