DESCRIPTION

An Arkanaut Admiral is a single model armed with a Skalfhammer and a Volley Pistol.

ABILITIES

If You Want A Job Done…: Every Arkanaut Admiral knows that there are some foes that you have to deal with yourself.
You can re-roll hit and wound rolls of 1 for attacks made with a melee weapon by this model that target a HERO or MONSTER.

Protect the Admiral!: The skyfarers that follow an Admiral will lay down their own lives to protect them.
Do not take battleshock tests for friendly KHARADRON OVERLORDS units while they are wholly within 12" of this model.

In addition, roll a dice before you allocate a wound or mortal wound to a friendly ARKANAUT ADMIRAL while it is within 3" of any friendly SKYFARERS units with 5 or more models. On a 5+, you must allocate that wound or mortal wound to a friendly SKYFARERS unit with 5 or more models that is within 3" of that ARKANAUT ADMIRAL, instead of to that ARKANAUT ADMIRAL.

COMMAND ABILITIES

Master of the Skies: The Admiral knows how to get every last bit of speed from the skyvessels they command.
You can use this command ability at the start of your shooting phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly SKYVESSEL that has a model with this command ability in its garrison. That SKYVESSEL can shoot in that phase even if it ran earlier in the same turn.

On My Mark, Fire!: An Admiral times the fire of their skyvessel so as to inflict the maximum possible amount of damage on the foe.
You can use this command ability at the start of your shooting phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly SKYVESSEL that has a model with this command ability in its garrison. You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for attacks made by that SKYVESSEL in that phase.

Repel Boarders!: The Admiral directs his crew to drive off anybody that dares to board his precious skyvessel.
You can use this command ability at the start of your combat phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly SKYVESSEL that has a model with this command ability in its garrison. Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that SKYVESSEL and any models in its garrison in that phase.

Up And At Them!: The Admiral leaps ashore, and orders any Kharadron that are nearby to charge the foe.
You can use this command ability at the start of your charge phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly SKYFARERS unit that is wholly within 12" of a friendly model with this command ability. You can re-roll charge rolls for that unit in that phase.

Modifiers
Sometimes modifiers apply to characteristics or abilities. For example, a rule might add 1 to a hit roll or the Move characteristic of a model. Modifiers are cumulative. Modifiers can never reduce a dice roll to less than 1.

If a modifier applies to a random value, work out the random value first and then apply the modifier(s) to it. For example, if an ability adds 1 to a Damage characteristic of D3, the result would be worked out by rolling the D3 and adding 1 to the roll.
Making Attacks
Attacks are resolved one at a time using the following attack sequence. In some cases, you can resolve all of the attacks made by the same type of weapon at the same time (see Multiple Attacks).

1.Hit Roll: Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, then it scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. A hit roll of 1 before modification always fails to hit the target, and a hit roll of 6 before modification always hits the target.
2.Wound Roll: Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, then it is successful and the opposing player must make a save roll. If not, then the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. A wound roll of 1 before modification always fails, and a wound roll of 6 before modification is always successful.
3.Save Roll: The opposing player rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. For example, if a weapon has a -1 Rend characteristic, then 1 is subtracted from the save roll. If the result equals or beats the Save characteristic of the models in the target unit, the save succeeds and the attack sequence ends without causing any damage. If not, the save fails and the attack is successful, and you must determine damage on the target unit. A save roll of 1 before modification always fails.
4.Determine Damage: Each successful attack inflicts damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of the weapon making the attack. Most weapons have a Damage characteristic of 1, but some have a Damage characteristic of 2 or more.
Melee Weapons
In order to make an attack with a melee weapon, a model must be in range of the target unit.
Battleshock test, battleshock roll
In the battleshock phase, both players must take battleshock tests for units from their army that have had models slain during the turn. The player whose turn it is tests first.

You must make a battleshock roll for each unit that has to take a battleshock test. To make a battleshock roll, roll a dice. Add the number of models from the unit that have been slain this turn to the dice roll, and add 1 to the unit’s Bravery characteristic for every 10 models that are in the unit when the test is taken.

If the modified battleshock roll is greater than the unit’s modified Bravery characteristic, the battleshock test has been failed. If the test is failed, for each point by which the modified roll exceeds the unit’s modified Bravery characteristic, one model in that unit must flee. You decide which of the models from your units flee – remove them from play and count them as having been slain.

Allocating Wounds
Once all of a unit’s attacks have been resolved, add up the damage that was inflicted. The player commanding the target unit must then allocate a number of wounds to the target unit equal to the damage that was inflicted.

Wounds are allocated one at a time to models in the target unit. You can allocate the wounds inflicted on your units as you see fit (the models do not have to be within range or visible to the attacking unit). However, if you allocate a wound to a model, you must keep on allocating wounds to that model until it is slain – a unit can never have more than one wounded model.

Some abilities allow you to make a roll to negate a wound or mortal wound allocated to a model; in this case the roll is made for each individual wound or mortal wound as it is allocated to the model in question. If the wound or mortal wound is negated it has no effect on the model.
Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities inflict mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for mortal wounds. Instead, the damage inflicted on the target is equal to the number of mortal wounds that were suffered. Allocate any mortal wounds that are caused while a unit is attacking at the same time as any other wounds caused by the unit’s attacks, after all of the unit’s attacks have been completed. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated to models in the target unit as soon as they occur, in the same manner as wounds caused by damage from an attack.

After they have been allocated, a mortal wound is treated in the same manner as any other wound for all rules purposes.

Command Abilities
If you have any HEROES in your army, you can use command abilities. Some command abilities are available to all armies, like the three on the right, while others are specific to certain models and appear on their warscroll. Some of these command abilities can only be used if that model is your general; when this is the case, it will be noted in the rules for the command ability.

In order to use any command ability you must spend 1 command point. You start the battle with 1 command point for each warscroll battalion you have in your army. In addition, you receive 1 command point at the start of each of your hero phases. You can use the same command ability several times in the same phase as long as you have enough command points to do so. Any command points you do not use can be used in a future turn. A command ability will usually specify when it is used; if it does not, it is used in your hero phase.

Charge roll, charge move
Any of your units within 12" of the enemy in your charge phase can attempt to make a charge move. Pick an eligible unit and make a charge roll for it by rolling 2D6. Each model in the unit can move a number of inches equal to the charge roll. You cannot make a charge move with a unit that has run or retreated earlier in the turn, or with a unit that is within 3" of an enemy unit.

The first model you move from a unit making a charge move must finish the move within ½" of an enemy model (you do not have to pick the target for the charge before making the charge roll). If that’s impossible, or you decide not to make the charge move, the charge fails and no models in the unit can move in this phase.

Once all models in one unit have made their charge moves, you can pick another eligible unit to make a charge attempt, until all units that you want to make charge attempts have done so.
