Global presentation
The Aurlok Nation is simply the most versatile army in the game. In terms of play as visually, it includes very different miniatures but with bases common to different clans, four in total. Each clan has its own advantages and disadvantages:
• Walosi Clan: Slow and average fighters but with a lot of health and can inflict automatic damage through special abilities
• Wolf Clan: good fighters but weak miniatures, capable of several low blows
• Crow Clan: very mobile and resistant miniatures but with few hit points, dedicated to scenario and harassment.
• Auroch Clan: expensive, but resistant miniatures and excellent fighters.
Warband with versatile miniatures
A troop made up of elements from each of the clans will be able to cope with all the situations and the panel of possible opposing factions. Each miniature is also very specialized, with characteristics and abilities. Thus, it is possible to surprise the opponent and leave him no respite if you judiciously exploit each one of them. Playing a different band each time will be a new gaming experience. There is a lot to test while playing Aurlok, providing very different gaming sensations depending on the miniatures, themes or strategies deployed.
Miniatures for all situations
Advantages: Versatility and specialization! The Aurloks have a troop or hero for all situations. It is thus possible to focus his troop on a heterogeneous band, good on all aspects of the game without excel or a homogeneous band focused on a specialty or it will excel. Playing the scenario with a troop made up only of members of the Crow Clan, or playing the fight with a troop made up of members of the Wolf Clan is a strategic challenge!
Weaknesses: Aurloks miniatures are expensive in point. Also you will be very rarely in numerical superiority at the beginning of the game. In fact, each loss will cost you dearly and will deprive you of a miniature difficult to replace in the field. Moreover, the most powerful miniatures such as alchemists or Manitou remain very fragile or delicate to play and take in hand.
