Una the Falconer
Circle Blackclad Character Solo (Lesser Warlock)
Una the Falconer shares a special connection with the beasts that roam the skies. She sees through their eyes, giving her an unencumbered view of her surroundings. Her birds of prey hunt her foes at her direction, darting and diving to tear flesh from bone before soaring high again to ready for another strike.

Weapons[edit]
- Talonstrike - 2" reach, P+S 9 melee weapon
- Damage Type: Magical - This weapon deals Magical damage.
- Bird of Prey - Range = CTRL, ROF d3, POW 10 gun
- Black Penny - this weapon/attack ignores the "target in melee" DEF bonus.
Abilities[edit]
- Lesser Warlock - This model is not a warlock (it's a solo) but has the following warlock special rules: Battlegroup Commander, Fury Manipulation, Healing, Spellcaster, and Transferring Damage. This model must have at least one warbeast in its battlegroup at the start of the game.
- Affinity [Warbeasts with Flight] - The only warbeasts that can be included in this model's battlegroup are Warbeasts with Flight.
- Bird's Eye - Battlegroup models in control range ignore clouds, forests and intervening models for line of sight.
Spells[edit]
- Dog Pile - Cost 2, 12" range, POW -, Offensive Upkeep
- Warbeasts in the caster's battlegroup can charge or make slam power attacks against target model without being forced. They can ignore forests and cloud effects when determing LOS when declaring a charge or slam attack against the affected model. They gain +2" movement and pathfinder when resolving charges or slam power attacks targeting the affected model.
- Guardian Beast - Cost 3, Upkeep
- Once per turn, when an enemy finishes their movement within 6" of the caster, you can choose one of the caster's warbeasts currently in their CTRL range. That warbeast can immediately make a full advance towards that enemy and then attack it with a fully boosted melee or ranged attack.
Analysis of Una the Falconer[edit]
Una the Falconer in a nutshell[edit]
Una is a useful lesser warlock - best off taking one warbeast and spending most of her time using her Birds of Prey as boostable attacks to unjam other models.
Combos & Synergies[edit]
- The Scarsfell Griffon is usually considered the best beast for her to take. 3 initials, stealth and Tracker are all nice. It used to have long leash, which was incredibly good for her, but it was sadly errata'd away.
Drawbacks and Downsides[edit]
- Like all journeyman warlocks, she has short control range, low fury and is fairly squishy.
- Her limited battlegroup means you aren't going to get much work out of her beasts, unless a flying heavy comes along.
- It's fairly easy to have her faster beasts out distance her.
Tricks and Tips[edit]
- While she can take the Storm Raptor, that is generally a terrible idea.
- A boostable black penny gun is awesome. She should be using that every turn she can.
Other[edit]
Trivia[edit]
- Una the Skyhunter is her full warlock version
- Released in Hordes: Exigence (2014)
Theme Forces[edit]
- Call of the Wild - (Article) (Category)
- Secret Masters - (Article) (Category)
- Theoretically she qualifies for Bones of Orboros too, but (currently) that theme doesn't allow any beasts with Flight so she can't actually be played.
