Eldar Fire Dragons

Product Information

Fire Bomb: The dragon spews a large fire bomb that explodes on impact, leaving a scorched, flaming crater. By default, this will be an armour saving throw using their model’s Save (Sv) characteristic, but some models have invulnerable saves that can be used instead (see below).

To make an armour saving throw, roll one D6, then modify the result by the Armour Penetration (AP) characteristic of the attack. Traditionally, Targaryen princes received a dragon's egg in their cradle, allowing the infants to bond with the dragons as soon as the eggs hatched. WHEN: Your opponent’s Shooting phase or the Fight phase, just after an enemy unit has selected its targets. Example: A model targets a unit that is within half range of a weapon with a Damage characteristic of D6 and the [MELTA 2] ability.After they are fully grown, they still age with days and can still eat dragon meals, but they do not gain size nor health. The next morning, when the flames have gone out and the ground has cooled down, Daenerys is found among the ashes, naked but unharmed, holding and nursing three living newly-hatched dragons— Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. After Maelor was killed at Bitterbridge, [40] his egg was sent to Lord Ormund Hightower at Longtable.

Daenerys encloses Rhaegal and Viserion within the dragon pit of Meereen's Great Pyramid after the death of Hazzea, although Drogon remains free. In Egyptian mythology, Apep or Apophis is a giant serpentine creature who resides in the Duat, the Egyptian Underworld. This isn’t to say that Wraithguard are strictly better, but if you are looking at a short-ranged heavy-hitting anti-tank unit for your army, you should consider whether you can afford to spend a little more to keep the unit safe by upgrading to the bigger boys. Draconic creatures appear in virtually all cultures around the globe [12] and the earliest attested reports of draconic creatures resemble giant snakes. Born during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen, between 120 AC and 129 AC, after an egg was placed in the cradle of Prince Aegon.

Where a hatchling's flame can set straw aflame, the flames of older dragons, like Balerion and Vhagar in the fullness of their power, could melt steel and stone. Aegon became involved in the wars in the Disputed Lands when Pentos and Tyrosh approached him, inviting him to join a grand alliance against Volantis. Otherwise, the charge is successful and the models in the charging unit make a Charge move – move each model a distance in inches up to the result of the Charge roll.

This might not be a huge consideration overall, as many codices have suicidal units armed with heavy weapons, but it’s worth bringing up here because Craftworlds have an option that compares very directly to Fire Dragons- namely, Wraithguard.EFFECT: Your unit can arrive on the battlefield as if it were the Reinforcements step of your Movement phase. Over the course of one hundred and fifty years, the Targaryens rode their dragons as a symbol of their power, and as a means of transport. Please note: Fire dragons will attack ice dragons and lightning dragons, so do not put a fire dragon with your other dragons on wander.

Screening your units properly also goes a long ways towards protecting them- not just against Webway attacks, but even in the more general case. The polished skulls of the Targaryen dragons look like glittering onyx, and their teeth look like curved daggers of black diamond. Rhaegal and Viserion are freed from the Great Pyramid during Quentyn Martell's ill-fated attempt to tame a dragon. In addition, if a unit is Battle-shocked when it is selected to Fall Back, you must take a Desperate Escape test for every model in that unit before any are moved. The dice that is being substituted is not rolled; instead, the value of the selected Fate dice is used as if it had been rolled (this counts as an unmodified dice roll of that value for all rules purposes).

In King's Landing, Wisdom Hallyne, a master pyromancer of the Alchemists' Guild, tells Tyrion Lannister that their spells are more effective than usual, and wonders if there are any dragons around, as Wisdom Pollitor had once told him that magic had begun to go out of the world the day the last dragon died. Once you have selected an eligible unit to declare a charge, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of that charge.
