It would be kinda fun to field Valdenar for the Lions, and single handedly destroy the entire opponent company by himself :)

Although, I doubt they would make him as over-powered in this game as he was in the tabletop game. I still remember rumors of people taking out the Tarrasque (a mega-titan monster) using nothing but Valdenar.

Instead, the idea was to bring your company of generic units, and by the end of a Dogs of War campaign...you would level them into your own legendary units.


While you have the latter part correct there, the Dogs of War rules did allow you to hire named characters and Incarnates to fight your battles - just not on a permanent basis. It cost Resource Points and they only stuck around for a single game, like all other mercenaries.

Because named characters tended to be expensive and companies had to be within 50 AP of one another, this was very rarely done.

Valdy was well-equipped for taking on super-big monsters like the Tarrascus - his armor reduced the strength of hits to his RES, if higher, and gave him another wound level. And he was Hard-boiled ... plus his weapon gave him another damage die. Either he or Shurat were probably the best single model fighters in the game.

Named heroes with custom models would be more appropriate for a single-player campaign, or perhaps as reskins of normal units available for RMT.

It would be enough to give him stats close to current RAM golem ;)

We have a lot of plans for the future of the game, but this one is amongst the things that we consider on a very regular basis. We are still talking about how to do it.
I can't talk much about this, but if we can pull it, there will definitely be some sort of "heroic" contribution to the battlefield at some point ;)
