Warcrow: Pierre Besson, Grand Magister

A war hammer wrapped in silk is roughly how the Grand Magister reads, and the Feudom's heaviest lists are built around him.

He is a High Command profile, and he does not hedge. Where other commanders give you a safety valve, he commits wholesale to the cavalry charge doctrine the faction is known for. He is also among the largest single investments available anywhere in this range, and what comes back for the outlay is control over tempo: the army fights when he decides it fights.

That is a preference rather than a straight upgrade. If your instinct is to react, to hold your shape and answer what the other player does, a cheaper commander will serve you better and he will feel like dead weight. If your instinct is to pick the moment and force the whole game through it, he is the model that makes the rest of a Feudom list make sense.

Context for anyone new to the range:

• Warcrow is Corvus Belli's fantasy rank and file wargame, unrelated to Infinity
• The Feudom is the knightly human faction, built on cavalry
• One of the most expensive single choices you can put in a list
