Model Advantages and Abilities

Resistance-Cold	When this model suffers a cold damage roll, remove one die from the damage roll. No errata for Resistance-Cold (Create)
Pathfinder	This model treats rough terrain as open terrain while advancing. While charging, slam power attacking, or trample power attacking, this model does not stop its movement when it contacts an obstacle. No errata for Pathfinder (Create)
Battle Wizard	Once per turn, when this model destroys or removes from play one or more enemy models with a melee attack during its activation, immediately after the attack is resolved it can make one Magic Ability special attack or special action. No errata for Battle Wizard (Create)
Magic Ability	This model can make the following Special Attacks or Special Actions. Doing so counts as casting a spell. If a Cost is listed, the model does not pay that cost. A cost might be listed because the Special Action or Special Attack is also a Spell listed on a Leader model. If a model uses a Special Action or Special Attack to cast a spell in this manner, they cannot buy additional melee or ranged attacks unless otherwise stated in the spell, because using a Special Action or Special Attack is a Combat Action choice other than using Initial Attacks. Hunter's Mark Cost RNG AOE POW DUR OFF 2 10 - - Turn Yes Friendly models can charge or make a slam power attack against target enemy model hit by Hunter's Mark without being forced or spending focus. A friendly model charging or power attack slamming an enemy model hit by Hunter's Mark gains +2 SPD while resolving the charge or slam. Hunter's Mark lasts for one turn. No errata for Hunter's Mark (Create) Ice Bolt is a RNG 10 arcane attack. A model hit suffers a POW 12 cold damage roll. On a critical hit, the model hit becomes stationary for one round unless it has Resistance:Cold. Winter Storm Enemy models that begin their activations within 10 inches of this model lose Eyeless Sight, Flight and Pathfinder that activation. Winter Storm lasts for one round. No errata for Winter Storm (Create)
Prowl	While this model has concealment, it gains Stealth.   Errata-Prowl (2024-2-17) Question: Does Prowl prevent a model from losing stealth while it has concealment? Example 1: A Warpwolf Stalker with Prowl has concealment and is shot by a weapon with Flare. Thus the model gets -2DEF and loses Stealth. However, as soon as the model loses stealth, it gains it back by having Prowl and being in Concealment. Example 2: A Soul Stalker is targetted by Spyglass and thus loses Stealth for a round. However, when it was shot by an AoE also hitting a cultist, the cultis dies and Agathon now casts Occultation on the soul snake, does it gain Stealth again despite having lost it? Answer: For now stealth will not be reapplied in the above example. Explanation: So we will be using the ruling from MKIII until we have time to go through the different abilities. For now we are looking into the issue brought up by this thread for now. Mainly due to the volume of rules we need to address this first prior to moving on the the other issues, similar to this. Also it is due to the fact we have a previous edition ruling that we are applying to this scenario. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck Infernal - PP Community forum

Thoughts on Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress

Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress in a nutshell

Lanyssa is taken for her Hunter's Mark ability which is extremely powerful when running a lot of warjacks or beasts thanks to the free charge. Infantry charging farther never hurts either. She also brings a magic attack if needed.

Combos & Synergies

• Any warbeast or warjack that doesn't charge for free.
• If you can somehow catch a warbeast with flight or pathfinder on the other side of a forest, he Winter Storm ability just might work without her getting killed, but this won't happen often.
• Lanyssa particularly enjoys working with the northkin kriels. Northkin Elder can buff her ice bolt to pow14, and she gets stealth from the Storm of the North snow drifts.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Winter Storm is a trap! If the enemy starts near enough to Lanyssa that they get shut down by this then Lanyssa is in easy range to be killed - and she isn't that tough.
• Positioning her is tricky. Too close to the front lines and she dies. Too far away and she can't use Hunter's Mark.
• Non-mercenary/minion theme forces allow for only one minion/merc solo. Thus she competes with a lot of other options, many of with are better than her, like Ragman, Sylys, Orin, the Mist Speaker or even a Gobber Tinker.

Tricks & Tips

Not much tricky about Hunter's Mark. It's best used with things that already go quite far to up the threat to extreme levels.
