Fielding Cursed Pharaohs

[hellweed]

So if im to understand this right, any character with the dark surge ability can move mummies at the double. But the Pharaoh can't dark surge anything save for the mummies. Same goes for his inspiring ability. Any other hero that has the ability can inspire all shambling unite, but he is limited to only inspiring ONE unit in the game.

I think his only saving grace is his high nerve. Does anyone else field one?

Dark Surge allows you to move the target 1" for every 4+ rolled, so it's not quite the same as at the double. He's basically an alternative vampire lord, because he's fairly good in melee as well as having dark surge (his is double the vampire's but only useable on mummies). He also has regenerate.

His nerve is also ridiculous, it's as much as a regiment. At minimum (so rolling 12 on 2d6) you'd need 8pts of damage on him to kill him (12+8=20). The vampire can be killed on only 4 damage. His nerve is extremely good, it's better than any other non monster riding character in the game afaik.
