About the game
Dragonmasters - Dragonmasters are 4-health units that are part of the Eldarim species and come in five different colors, but are virtually identical to the Dragonlord. They have several advantages and disadvantages when compared to the Dragonlord. The Dragonmaster can only cast magic of the same color as itself. Dragonmasters can carry medallions and magical items matching their color. A Dragonmaster can tame dragons of the same color if it rolls its SFR Logo during the dragon attack. During the retreat step of a reserve movement, a Dragonmaster can "ride" a tamed dragon to any other terrain. A Dragonmaster's logo acts as a 2-point ID. A Dragonlord can do all the same as a Dragonmaster, but it works on any color dragon (including white dragons). It can cast any color of magic. It's logo does nothing in a normal army roll. These are the champions of the Eldarim species. See the Acolytes of the Eldarim kicker for more information
