Agata, Queen of Carnage |
The barbarous farrow Agata calls herself a queen, and her kingdom realm is one of slaughter and blood. Waging a never-ending campaign of vicious savage raids and seemingly random attacks across the Iron Kingdoms, Agata is a ferocious and unpredictable opponent. Her qualities as a leader are similar, and they have earned her esteem among the most vicious sorts of farrow in western Immoren.

Thoughts on Agata, Queen of Carnage
Agata, Queen of Carnage in a nutshell
Agata is a cross between a Kayazy Eliminator and a Praetorian Swordsmen, alternatively you can think of her as the more nuanced version of Maximus.
She is a melee monster who can make a boosted P+S 17 charge attack with combo strike or kill a couple of enemies before sprinting away to a degree of safety. She has lots of movement shenanigans and can get deep into enemy line but this is mired by quite a low natural threat range. Once in melee she does require dedicated effort to remove, but she does need assistance getting there.
Combos & Synergies
- Lord Carver is her Veteran Leader.
- She can slam two times under Helga1's feat, with Parry, +1 speed and Side Step she can also get some very interesting slam angles.
- Sturm & Drang - offer Deceleration and Telekinesis 2 very useful spells for delivering a model into melee. Shield guard is just an added bonus.
- Azazello unfortunately a lot of his kit doesn’t work with her as she already has the abilities. But his feat is great and Beacon improves her threat range.
Drawbacks & Downsides
- She needs screening - the enemy will try to shoot her off the board. It's easier than trying to melee her off, at least!
- Will Work for Food has a range of melee solos, some do her job better. Thornfall Alliance has fallen out of favour with the similar theme bonuses and greater options offered in Vengeance of Dhunia
- Her 8.5 inch threat range can be a problem, often she won’t get a choice in what she wants to engage unless your opponent forgets about counter charge.
Tricks & Tips
- When you counter-charge, try to do so to the side of the enemy to set up next turn's charge.
