you could get a saurus for less than that talisman, or a plaque of tepok, or drop a musician and get a war banner. i don't really like the talisman. it wound be worth for 5 points, but otherwise... if you have to save 1 wound/turn you would save one every 6 turns. thats 2/12 wounds IF you were in combat from turn one and only had to save 1 wound with it.
