Naturally crystallised from the sap of the great Black Oak, that lies at the heart of the Pallas Forest. Eight foot tall, a dark, almost black green gemstone held in place by a thick growth of gnarled tree trunks and heavy vines. Crafting these stones has long since been an ancient secret of the Coven. However after an unknown group used assassins to try and wipe out the Crone Council, Crone Annis modified the process and paved the way for these Crystals to be traded around the world as a ward against assassins

 

Found amongst the unaligned, 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 nature's reach allows any of your strike team to manipulate the positions of enemy models. Crystals also have an aura and attributes that grow in power as the crystal charges. In this case the crystal gains power whenever models from the "Shadow" faction are destroyed. Making this the perfect anti-assassin model.
