LoN: Lord Virion as special character
Hi necromancers,
I really like this project, it is awesome! Just recently I found it on the web and would like to contribute something to it as well.
Cheers,

Be happy to receiving comments on Lord Virion rules:
Lord Virion (counts as hero) – 250 pts
Although nobody knows where he comes from, or when he will arrive, Lord Virion the Grim strikes terror in the hearts of mortals when he rides upon the battlefield with his macabre chariot, filled with bones, to harvest the slain.

Grim Reaper Is Upon Us
Lord Virion the Grim is one of the Dark Lords of Nagash, those fell beings who in ancient times were the foremost of Nagash's captains and apprentices and have become the most feared destroyers of his enemies. No-one really knows the early history of Lord Virion, but it is whispered that he was one of the rebel Priest Kings that followed Nagash's teaching over 4,000 years ago, and that it was he that created the spells and rituals that Nagash used to unleash the plague which destroyed the ancient civilisation of Nehekhara and toppled the great king Alcadizzar.
Whatever his past, now Lord Virion and the Plague Cart he drives have become the very symbol of the last journey which ends at the cemetary gate, and he is a powerful ally for any Undead army. No-one knows when or where Lord Virion will appear next. He simply arrives at the start of a battle, driving his creaking cart of death with its dark cargo of doom into the centre of the action, bolstering the power of the Undead and filling the hearts of the living with despair. Once the battle is over he vanishes as quickly and mysteriously as he appeared.
All enemy units within 18” range of the cart suffer -2 on Ld.
