Catelyn was a terrible 'tactician' and leader. At best, she could have a rule that makes her count as a banner to Men of the North (being the widow of their Liege Lord and the King's mother).
Tyrion on the other hand wasn't actually that bad a fighter. He handles himself well enough to survive two battles. IIRC, He faced down a mounted Knight charging him, and not only survived the attack, but managed to unhorse and kill the Knight. And then he personally led the defense of King's Landing, leading a sally out of a postern gate to destroy a battering ram. He was only injured when a Kingsguard tried to assasinate him at the climax of the battle.
For a profile, I'd probably do something like...
Move 4" (8" with a pony)
F3
S3
D3 (+2 with Heavy Armour)
A2
C5
Wargear: unarmed
can purchase:
Axe 1pt
Heavy Armour 10pts
Pony 5pts
Might: 1
Will: 6
Fate: 3
Special Rules:
A Lannister Always Pays his debts:Tyrion can attempt to bribe the enemy. Before deployment, pick an enemy Hero. Both players roll a D6. If Tyrion rolls highest, the enemy hero is bribed, and joins the Lannister's side - he may now be deployed as normal by the Lannister player, as though he was a part of his army. The Hero's controlling player may expend the Hero's will points to change his roll. If the controlling player rolls a natural 6 (unmodified) then the Hero is too honourable to be bought.
My mind is my weapon. Reflecting his keen wit and intellect, Tyrion Lannister may expend Will points to perform Heroic Actions that affect other models, but not a Combat he is participating in. This applies to Heroic Move, March and Shoot, but not Heroic Strike or Fight.
All dwarfs are b******* in their father's eyes:If Tywin Lannister is in the same army, Tyrion Lannister cannot be designated as the Leader of the army. Heroic Actions performed by either Hero will not affect the other. They can also not voluntarily fight in the same combat (i.e. the Lannister player cannot charge either Hero into a Multiple Fight involving the other Hero. However, the enemy can charge both Heroes at once as normal).
Your Dominion over the Vale starts now!Tyrion Lannister counts as a banner for Hill Tribesmen of the Vale.
