55518-U Pavlova Grenadiers

In the Witchlands the forces of the Undead are composed of decomposing multitudes of Zombies and other foul creations. While most of these Zombies are re-animated enemy Elves or Dwarves or other races there are some that were once allies and are now much more 'dependable' and among the finest of these are the once Bog Orcs of the Expeditionary force sent to aid the Dark Czar by Albion.

The Moskova Grenadiers and other regiments make use of these reanimated giants but the finest of them are sent to the infamous Pavlova Grenadiers where they are drilled remorselessly to produce animated dead troops that are actually quite good in battle. The Pavlova are part of the Star Wraith Aleksander's Imperial Guard divisions and are used where the fighting is hardest.

Commanded by the once mortal Lord Byrorc, now a Vampyre noble, formally a gentleorc of the Londinium scene who makes sure his troops perform well by using the services of the K.G.B's malevolent Count Pavlova. The Count is truly ancient and is now little more than dry bones held together by spite and a powdered wig. Lord Byrorc is also fond of experimentation and has been reading the works of the famous Orc novelist Mury Shrilley, as a result his regimental standard bearer is a Zombie of Byrorc's own making; Young Frankski. This former Orc sergeant is driven by a new force known as 'electrical impulse' delivered to the iron bolts driven through his neck.

Currently in pursuit of the retreating Ferach Armee's scattered battalions the Pavlova are more than capable of dealing with all but the largest of the Hunvarian Ogre soldiers in battle. Indeed often the heavy tread and then the mere sight of Count Pavlova is enough to make Elves flee in terror.

Slaughterloo Rules

When using a Unit of Pavlova Grenadiers in a game of Slaughterloo use the Undead statistics for Pavlova Grenadiers as found in the Unit Statistics booklet.

LORD BYRORC (SPECIAL UNIT OFFICER) (60 POINTS)

POETRY IS THE WAY TO THE SOUL: Lord Byrorc is a very charismatic Vampyre and may elect one mortal enemy Unit within 30cm per Turn and reduce its movement by 5cm for that Turn with his poetry.

COUNT PAVLOVA (SPECIAL UNIT LICHE) (+10 POINTS)

Count Pavlova is treated exactly the same way as any other Liche for points cost and behaviour in the game. Additionally when in a Unit of Pavlova Grenadiers he may once per game add an additional +1 to the Unit's Form rating for one Turn.
