Thane's 18 headed hydra project. (back to Players' Armies page)

This is actually the heads from 3 Reaper Hydras put onto one body. She looks insane, because it is! She represents 1140 points on the table. On her first run out, she was nearly killed by a unit of elephants, but barely survived and went on to glory!

Here are some shots from various angles.

Dementia is tough to kill. 24 wounds, with regeneration on 18 of them, is a lot of work. However, she is still just a 24 wound single model, so a good rank and file cavalry unit can often force a morale test. Big units of lance cavalry or other first strike can kill a lot of heads before she can fight back. There are about a dozen spells that can kill her or render her useless in one shot… Confusion can turn her against your own troops! But if you feed her units piecemeal… well, you'll just be feeding her units.

I've begun tracking her exploits. Some of these are a bit old, but still stand out.

Dementia won the Best Conversion Award at Tacticon in 2003!
