Naestra and Arahan, Sisters of Twilight

A lifetime spent in the confines of Athel Loren inevitably teaches how CO move through woodlands without hindrance. All models in the Wood Elf army (except flyers using their flying movement) may ignore movement penalties for moving through woods.

The Elves of Athel Loren are the most accomplished and deadly archers in the whole of the Warhammer world, surpassing even the skill of their High Elven brethren. Wood Elf longbows (including magical longbows) do not suffer the -1 to hit penalty for moving and shooting.

If either Arahan or Naestra is slain, do not remove the model from play unless the other sister is killed in the same phase. If either sister is still alive at the end of a phase, both are restored to their starting number of Wounds. In the event of a challenge, both sisters must fight.

For shooting, any shots that would normally hit the rider are split between Arahan and Naestra (ie, when riding a monster, the rider is normally hit on the roll of a 5+). For each hit that hits a rider, roll a further dice:
- on a 1-3 Arahan is struck,
- on a 4-6 Naestra is struck.


Also, if their mount is slain, they will form into a skirmishing unit consisting of the two of them. If both sisters are slain, their mount will always react as if it had rolled a 5 or 6 on the Monster Reaction table.
