Rodrik L'Anguille is an 
Empire Unique Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Hunter and the Beast available to 
The Huntsmarshal's Expedition faction.
Recruitment[]
- Recruited with:
Wulfhart's Hunters - Chivalrous Fools
Description[]
The Bretonnian swordsman Rodrik l’Anguille may have the appearance of a Questing Knight, but his disposition is that of a downtrodden man with a complicated history. His escapades prior to his arrival in Lustria are unknown, but like all Paladins he must have proven himself with a great feat of arms at some point in the past. Against all the odds, he survived a doomed foray into the treasure-seeker’s death trap that is Xlanhuapec, though at the great cost of losing his entire retinue. Regardless of how little is known of his past, Rodrik has survived for months alone in the Lustrian jungle, where others would barely survive for hours, marking him out as a most resilient soldier indeed.
Attributes[]
- Melee Specialist
- ▲ Armoured & Shielded: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage. Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
- ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.

Talent Tree[]
Strategy[]
Rodrik is pretty much a beefed up Paladin. Due to the requirements of Wulfhart's Hunters, you may need to declare war on whoever is occupying (or to trade settlements for it) to obtain Xlanhuapec. With the buffs obtained from his own personal quests, he should be powerful enough to take down large monsters (which is surprisingly quite common in Lustria, considering the fact that all factions in this region has access to various types of large beast) or duel against other melee lords, or chasing and hunting down spellcaster characters on a mount, especially if you combine it with something like "Accusation" of Hertwig to or "Prey of Anath Raema" of Kalara in order to make the duel/chase easier for him.
