Warcrow: Harvesters

Elite elven cavalry, but not the kind that wins by hitting hardest. The Harvesters are built around mobility, endurance and morale pressure, which makes them a tool for taking an opponent's army apart at its weakest joint rather than trading blows with its best unit.

Three things define how they play. They cross any terrain, so the board does not constrain where they can go. They absorb damage through taint, which means attrition works differently against them than against ordinary cavalry. And they are notably effective against targets with low Willpower, which turns them into a scalpel: you point them at the part of an enemy list that was never going to hold, and it stops holding.

Used properly that is a dismantling job, not a duel. A player who likes finding and exploiting the soft flank will get far more out of them than a player who wants a hammer.

Orientation:

• Elite cavalry for the Scions of Yaldabaoth
• The Scions serve the Architect of Flesh, hence the taint mechanics
• Warcrow is Corvus Belli's fantasy rank and file wargame, unrelated to Infinity
