Total 382 points

Kwanatoba is a great Chief who has united the Federation of Tribes to repel the invaders from the North, whether they be Chaos hordes or the vile Dark Elves. It is said that Kwanatoba could shoot birds from the sky with bow and arrow as soon as he was able to walk. He has fought Chaos on many occasions and he was given a magic feather sent to him by the gods and carried by a Giant Eagle. This feather gives him magical protection in battle, and he always wears it in his headdress. He fought a battle against Krell the Daemon that lasted three days and three nights. At the end of the battle, Krell lay dead at his feet. Kwanatoba was severely injured in this battle and it took many moons for him to recover. The Shamans say that his recovery was a gift from the gods, for his injuries were beyond their powers. Kwanatoba is the greatest of the Shadow Walkers.

Kwanatoba will come to the aid of any tribe that is fighting Chaos or Dark Elves, as he especially hates these foes.
