Concept Notes

I've always really liked the concept of the Warwitch, and felt that it is entirely under-developed in the army of Cryx as it stands. I've also always liked the idea of the Journeyman Warcaster, and felt other factions need to get in on this action. Those two ideas came together when I came up wiht a back story for this sweet Hasslefree miniature I got at Gencon 2007 (http://hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=787 ; her actual name is Taxxis and her Troll is Deth), and the Warwitch Bograna was born.

The main idea is that she's not really strong enough to be a warcaster in her own right, but can work with warjacks and be a tremendous supporting force. I figure she's work best with her own battlegroup of a Leviathan and Defiler, who play off of her spell list and powers. To give her something close to the punch of being an offensive spellcasting threat without increasing her Focus, I added that "+3 to magic attacks" ability from the Basilisk Krea. With only 4 focus and no feat, Bograna can't really stand up against true threats, but she can power up a warjack or two or seriously hurt a unit here and there.
