The Book of Taelord the Kyrie Warrior
If you cannot see the Army Card graphic, check Hasbro's Unit Page for stats and special powers, plus "character biography" and other non-game unit info.
Character Bio: When Utgar held a gladiatorial contest to determine who his chief warrior would be, Taelord was the hands-down victor. The battle pitted 83 worthy warriors against each other, and lasted a full two days. In the end, only one warrior was left standing: the mighty Taelord. For his savagery, strength and stamina, Taelord was rewarded with a drink from a Wellspring. On the battlefield,
Taelord's natural military superiority extends to all of those who fight nearby. (Hasbro)

-Rulings and Clarifications-
- - FLYING : Stealth Flying
Why is Taelord’s Flying Special Power missing the last line that all other Flyers have: “When this figure starts to fly, if this figure is engaged, he/she will take any leaving engagement attacks”?
We removed the last line of his flying ability to reflect that Taelord has Disengage when flying. (Hasbro FAQ)
- FLYING : Stealth Flying
Does Taelord have disengage when walking?
No. Taelord was given an “early” form of stealth flying. If Taelord begins his move engaged and chooses to fly, he will not take any leaving engagement swipes. However, if Taelord’s flying power is nagated or if he decides to walk away from an engagement, he will take any leaving engagement strikes. (dnutt99)

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-
Strategy Notes:
- - Taelord is probably one of the most controversial figures we have created for Heroscape thus far because of his high cost. Draft him, but draft wisely with him. Don't draft Taelord and Charos together and wonder why Taelord was ineffective while Charos was out Counter Striking away. Taelord has to stay near his allies for them to be affected by his Attack Aura. Because of that, drafting a slow moving squad with a range of 1 may not be the best idea! I'll talk about the exception to this rule (Minions of Utgar) later. For now, draft him with ranged squads and set your army up on height to pick off your opponents 1 by 1 as they advance on your position. (Hasbro FAQ)
Who is affected by Taelord's Special Powers?
- - Attack Aura: All figures you control within 4 clear sight spaces of Taelord.
- Stealth Flying: Only Taelord.
(Hasbro FAQ)
Who else could I draft with Taelord?
- - Minions of Utgar
Here is the exception to the abovementioned "don't draft Taelord with figures that have a range of 1" rule. The Minions of Utgar have Utgar's Orders which allows them to take a turn with a Kyrie warrior who follows Utgar instead of taking their normal turn. For now, the only Kyrie warriors out that follow Utgar are Taelord, and Runa. By utilizing that power, you can keep all your order markers on the Minions of Utgar and move Taelord up whenever they need his Attack Aura. They are deadly enough with an attack of 2 and Deadly Strike. With Taelord, and the possibility of height, they become unstoppable. (Hasbro FAQ)
- Omnicron Snipers
Taelord is uniquely suited to help the Omnicron Snipers cause the most damage to approaching opponents. With his Attack Aura and height advantage, the Omnicron Snipers are a dangerous squad. Their Deadly Shot gives them the ability to double all skulls rolled. Normally they only have an attack of 1 but with Taelord AND height, they can roll 3 attack dice with the possibility of inflicting up to 6 wounds per Sniper! (Hasbro FAQ)
- Ranged Squads
Taelord is not the greatest in melee combat because of his low defense of 3 coupled with a life of 5 and a low attack of 3. He doesn't last long against stronger heroes like Major X17, Sgt. Drake Alexander, or Tor-Kul-Na. Because of that, you should draft ranged squads with Taelord to help thin the enemies lines as they approach. (Hasbro FAQ)
Who does Taelord work well against?
- - Squad Figures
As stated above, Taelord isn't the best against strong heroes, but he can normally hold his own against a few squad figures at once. Just don't leave him open to being swarmed by too many figures. With Stealth Flying, he can easily move onto height, or out of a bad situation each turn, making it tough to corner him. (Hasbro FAQ)
- Raelin the Kyrie Warrior
Raelin is the perfect opponent for Taelord. She has the same attack & defense as Taelord, but her Defensive Aura makes her a target you can't ignore. Try to gain height on Raelin if possible, and have figures ready to move in and utilize Taelord's Attack Aura once you have Raelin engaged. With Taelord's Attack Aura, your figures will make short work of Raelin and can then turn their sights on your opponent's other figures. (Hasbro FAQ)
