Farseer Taldeer
"I have come to destroy you, monster."
Taldeer has long been haunted by nightmares of a return of the Necrons that her people fought millennia ago. She follows her visions to hunt worlds were the Necron menace is emerging and leads the Ulthwé forces at her disposal in destroying the emerging Necron troops. Not trusting the Mon-Keigh to leave well enough alone, she will also destroy any of their kind that get in her way to ensure that the Necrons stay buried once she has left.
In Dark Crusade Taldeer's visions have led her to the recently captured Tau world of Kronus. Although her initial intentions had been to simply halt the rising Necrons at the source, once Taldeer learned that it had been human archaeologists who awakened the Necrons in the first place, she pledged to destroy all enemy forces on Kronus to prevent their bumbling interference from disturbing the Necrons' rest again.
Tactics
Unlike in multiplayer, Farseer Taldeer can function as a dedicated caster throughout the fight. Combining the recharge reduction from the Seer Council (one of which is available as an Honor Guard unit), the Farseer Veteran/Hero Upgrades, and all of her wargear, Taldeer's spells recharge in just 1/3 their usual time.
Of course, with the amazing melee power, damage reductions, health bonuses, and the Rune Aura available to her, it would be foolish to leave her in the back lines. Her Rune Aura provides such a dramatic amount of healing to nearby troops that your normally fragile Howling Banshee Squads can operate under fire for much longer than usual. When you get an honor guard melee squad or a Seer Council, attach Taldeer to them for a better meatshield.
