Agrimony, Crone of the Dying Strands

Template:Cryxbox This model is playable only in an Unlimited format.

The terrifying and ghostly witch Agrimony, more often whispered of as the Crone of the Dying Strands, is herself enslaved to Captain Rengrave, the first citizen of Cryx. She is nearly as old as her master, once having ruled her own island and standing apart from the pirate kings of old, who feared her curses.

Thoughts on Agrimony

Agrimony in a nutshell

She is a support solo for Revenants, and as such is a premium choice in a Ghost Fleet list. The tools she brings (anti-Tough bubble, magical weapons on a stick, and ranged RFP) will be very much appreciated as that theme force is otherwise fairly restrictive. Tactician helps when playing lots of infantry but as Blackbane's Ghost Raiders don’t need it she is better sticking with Revenant Crew of the Atramentous units.

Combos & Synergies

• Tactician [Revenant] will make the activation of your Revenant Units much easier - especially when you consider you're likely to run around 30 of them in a regular Ghost Fleet list.
• Captain Rengrave still gives her +1 to hit with Bone Shaker

Drawbacks & Downsides

• She only really works in a Ghost Fleet theme.
• She has no weapon so she can't charge to speed herself up.
• Blackbane's Ghost Raiders are Revenants but don’t really need anything she is offering.

Tricks & Tips

• Ranged Remove From Play (via Bone Shaker) is a great tool to have. One of the prime targets for those abilities are units with Leader-only special abilities (like the Revenant Crew, Croe's Cutthroats or Black Ogrun Ironmongers).
  • If you RFP the Leader, it is not Field Promoted (you designate a new unit commander instead), so that unit will lose the Leader-only special rules forever.
• As her only attack is a Magic Spell, she will remain Incorporeal all the time, unless your opponent has a way to remove it (like the Krielstone).
