Shimmering blue, looming and smelling strongly of briny sea and salty breeze. An inauspicious offering from the great sleeping one, sent forth from the sunken city. Seen by many as exactly what the world needed to keep the magic of the Tower in check, but others have warned other to beware any gift from the abyssal depths.

 

The Nautilus Crystal is a member of the unaligned faction. The unaligned are a catch-all faction. For those assets which either due to being mindless constructs, or because there loyalty is easily bought, or otherwise fickle, might fight for just about any organisation at any-time.

 

The crystals are an unusual group of objects found amongst the unaligned with unique properties. They grant an action to all the other models in your strike team in the form of their gift. In this case Abyssal Wave allows your characters to force their opponents to choose between being pushed back or suffering damage. Crystals also have an aura and attributes that grow in power as the crystal charges. In this case the crystal gains power whenever models with the “Tower” keyword are destroyed. Making this the perfect anti-mage model.  The aura can also allow allies to defend against fire-based  attacks.
