Megalith Games: New Website and Fierce Nordgaard Scarjarl Berserker


Megalith Games: Besides launching our new website a few hours ago, we also have a new release for you guys! The Scarjarl has been unleashed and is ready to lead the brave men of Nordgaard to glory!

Among the ferocious human Skannfyrd of Nordgaard are the berzerkers known as Ulfhednar - warriors possessed by primal fury. Some rare individuals who have spent years following the teachings of Ulfeinar, God of Fury, gain a measure of control over their condition so that they can restrain their rage until battle. These veteran leaders are known as Scarjarls.

Protected by rune-scars and a tenacity to shrug off mortal wounds, the Scarjarl is a melee warlord of great offensive capabilities. Once he becomes seriously wounded, he goes into a berserk frenzy enabling him to make six or more attacks per turn with his two-handed sword! His status as light-infantry also enables him to accomplish long charges.

This warlord performs best when thrown against the enemy's core troops, where he can destroy most of a unit in one turn as a one-man slaughter-house. Against enemy elites he is also effective when facing them one at a time but not when engaged by many; this is because the Scarjarl is not a particularly defensive warlord and so should be supported in such cases so that fewer enemy models can engage him.
