Una the Falconer |
Una the Falconer shares a special connection with the beasts that roam the skies. She sees through their eyes, giving her an unencumbered view of her surroundings. Her birds of prey hunt her foes at her direction, darting and diving to tear flesh from bone before soaring high again to ready for another strike.

| (1) Warbeasts in the spellcaster's battlegroup can charge or make slam power attacks against target model without being forced. (2) They can ignore forests and cloud effects when determing LOS when declaring a charge or slam attack against the affected model. (3) They gain +2" movement and Pathfinder when resolving charges or slam power attacks targeting the affected model. | |||||||

3 | SELF | - | - | Upkeep | No | |
| Once per turn when an enemy model advances and ends its movement within 6" of the spellcaster, you can choose a warbeast in the spellcaster's battlegroup that is currently in its control range. That warbeast can immediately make a full advance towards the enemy model and then can make one basic melee or ranged attack targeting the enemy model. The attack and damage rolls against that model are boosted. | |||||||
Theme Forces
- Secret Masters. This model gains Sacrificial Pawn [Minion Warrior] in this theme.
- The Wild Hunt
- Theoretically she's on the list of allowed models for Bones of Orboros too, but (currently) that theme doesn't allow any beasts with Flight and so she can't be played there.

Thoughts on Una1
Una1 in a nutshell
Una is a useful lesser warlock - best off taking one warbeast and spending most of her time using her Birds of Prey as boostable attacks to unjam other models.
She suffers when compared to other lesser warlocks as the limited pool of warbeasts mostly have SELF animi and the Razorwing Griffon is generally regarded as underpowered and have a niche animus. Thus she can’t reduce the burden on your warlock by casting support animi for them; in the same way Zaadesh1 or Horgle1 could do in their relevant factions.
Combos & Synergies
- Scarsfell Griffon is usually considered the best griffon for her to take. 3 initials, stealth and Tracker are all nice. It used to have long leash, which was incredibly good for her, but it was sadly errata'd away really hurting her usefulness at that time
- Argus Moonhound a lot of why you bring Una is for gun - although she can't run one herself the moonhound helps her hit.
- Storm Raptor is the strongest flying option in faction and with deceptively mobile can even walk and shoot triggered by guardian beast
Drawbacks & Downsides
- Like all lesser warlocks, she has short control range, low fury and is fairly squishy.
- Her limited battlegroup means you aren't going to get much work out of her beasts, unless you invest in a Storm Raptor
- It's fairly easy to have her faster beasts out distance her, especially when using dog pile.
Tricks & Tips
- A boostable black penny gun is awesome. She should be using that every turn she can.
