Thoughts on High Paladin Dartan Vilmon
High Paladin Dartan Vilmon in a nutshell
High Paladin Dartan Vilmon is the cheapest Shield Guard in the Faithful Masses theme (1pt cheaper than Initiates of the Wall and else competing with the Devout and the Templar). He also hits hard, is tough, and turns fellow paladins into viable models. To gain full benefit, you need to bring him together with at least one other paladin, making it effectively 10+ point investment.
Combos & Synergies
- Paladin of the Order of the Wall - they absolutely need Righteous Vengeance to be worth their points.
- Champion of the Order of the Wall - they need Righteous Vengeance less but every little helps
- Harbinger of Menoth - Keep him alive as long as possible with Martyrdom.
Drawbacks & Downsides
- Expensive if you have to pay for him
- Needs other Paladin models to be worth taking
Tricks & Tips
- Try to run turn 1 - then shield guard from in Stone & Mortar stance before charging into the fray.
- Makes a good shield guard for the Harbinger who can martyr to save him.

Trivia
- Released in Warmachine: Superiority (2006)
Other Protectorate models
