Takes 1 lord and 1 hero choice.

born in lybrasia and as a child was lost to the king there (had a scorpion birthmark was the only way to recognise him )and raised by a gaurd until he made an inadvertent mistake and was sentenced to die fighting a giant lybrasion scorpion unarmed. He manged to kill the scorpion and as the blood of it flowed over him he felt invigorated and strong. the blood of giant lybrasion scorpions is said to have many powerful effects and as it washed over him his birthmark glowed brightly for all to see t , upon seeing this the king realised he was his son and joy returned to the city, one night however as they were hunting a Bull that had been a gift Phesphestus fell but as he was about to be gored a scorpion rose out of the ground and killed the bull before it could. After this he was known affectionately as Echnaton and always accompioned him to battle drawing his mighty chariot, and calling more scorpions as Echnaton was a king too. After many prosperous years king phesphestus died and he was buried with Echnaton. after awakening he ordered his lichpriests to repair and re-awaken Echnaton so that they could once more reclaim the lands that were theres.


King phesphestus always rides to battle in his chariot drawn by his loyal friendm echnaton.

Well thats it thanks to everyone who helped in creating him and I suggest others try as well as it is a lot of fun to make your own special character. B)

Sounds pretty good, let us know how he did in batle, since that's the ultimate test to see how he works out .

Kingphesphestus - May 6, 2003 07:24 AM (GMT)
I played skaven the yesterday and he caved in the entire right flank single handedly.

Maelduin ab Sardis - May 6, 2003 07:50 AM (GMT)
Was that because the skaven player made some some mistakes or beacuse he is a tad too powerful?

Kingphesphestus - May 6, 2003 07:56 AM (GMT)

I dont know everytime i play my brother my chariots destroy him. This one just took less damage. But his an alright player but once i get on his flanks skaven startr running, so ill play against some other races and see. B)

He looks good right now I'm makeing my own special charectar but good job on this one

Kingphesphestus - May 23, 2003 02:47 AM (GMT)
Ive finished testing him and it seems that he is pretty fair and is a little worst than settra, but his cheaper so i think its balanced.
