The Book of Finn the Viking Champion
The Book of Finn the Viking Champion Rise of the Valkyrie - Master Set
Spoiler Alert!
Character Bio: Bold, brash, commanding Finn, brother of Thorgrim, is well respected as a spirited warrior and an inspiring leader. When Jandar rescued Finn from the Dreadguls and brought him to Valhalla, he gave him the indestructible Sword of Guether. Drawing power from this wondrous weapon, friendly forces fighting beside Finn increase their strength several-fold. Finn's swordsmanship is solid, but not supreme. It is his sheer fearlessness and denial of death that binds and motivates his followers. So transcending is Finn's charisma that if he perishes, it is rumored that his spirit will live on inside of them, inspiring them to fight with even greater ferocity.

As an example, Krav Maga agents adjacents to Finn would not get the bonus even if attaking adjacent ennemy figures. But, once Finn is dead, his spirit can give the Krav Maga agents (a unique squad) a +1 attack.

Hey newbies, remember that Finn only boosts melee troops while he's alive! Remember that! Remember! Don't forget! I can't add enough exclamatory sentences here!!!!!! He's only capable of helping a ranged unit when he's dead!

And if you're playing with teammates, have your teammate draft Finn so you can spend more points on Venoc Warlord (and might as well grab Aubrien Archers and/or Vipers) |

Because of wrong translation on the army card into dutch I have been playing wrong with Finn for a month.
In dutch it clearly states that he has an warrior defense spirit instead of warrior attack spirit. I can tell you, you play a whole different game then. Thanks to the helpfull unit index at this forum I saw there were more wrong translations, so thanks for that.

I like Finn; I'm surprised he's only got a handful of posts. He's my number one choice with the Knights of Weston (Although I don't have Alastair or Gilbert). Sometimes I stick him or Eldgrim on an important Glyph. I've contemplated doing the same with Krug.

Re: The Book of Finn the Viking Champion
yeah im from belgium and got the miss translated card 2 my brother thought the spirit was attack ( what was right ) and i said it was defense
with that i never saw finn as a threath because its hard to keep him moving with your main army (except with KoW and Mcdirck Warriors) ps: im new here and it can happen that my english isn't correct Last edited by Orwald; March 24th, 2009 at 03:39 PM. |

Re: The Book of Finn the Viking Champion
Finn is a well balanced hero. He makes an impact alive, and dead. Finn can tangle with the best of them. He belongs in tournaments, but is never there. What I don't understand is why Thorgrim, almost a mirror of Finn, is ranked so low. He could make Q9 or DW9000 even more devestating forces.

I actually agree that Thorgrim seems about as good as Finn, particularly given that Gilbert renders the "better with the knights" argument less relevant. But Q9 and (especially) DW9k are not great places to put Thorgrim's spirit. High defense, low life figures actually get relatively little marginal benefit out of one additional defense die. Contrast that with, say, Braxas, whose 8 life points will last a lot longer by jumping from 3 defense to 4. |

Re: The Book of Finn the Viking Champion
Or, throw it on the Izumuis or Charos and you get that much more chance to counterstrike
