Skywardens

Skywardens are elite formations of Arkanaut warriors granted the power of flight by portable aether-endrins. They swoop from on high to skewer enemies upon longhafted skypikes or hover at short range to incinerate them with vulcaniser pistols.

DESCRIPTION

A unit of Skywardens has any number of models, each armed with a Vulcaniser Pistol and Skypike. 1 in every 3 models can replace their Vulcaniser Pistol and Skypike with an Aethermatic Volley Gun and Gun Butt. 1 in every 3 models can replace their Vulcaniser Pistol and Skypike with one of the following weapon options: Drill Launcher and Gun Butt; Grapnel Launcher and Gun Butt; or Skyhook and Gun Butt.

FLY: This unit can fly.

CUSTODIAN: 1 model in this unit can be a Custodian. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that model’s melee weapons.

ABILITIES

Drill Launcher: A handheld version of the drill cannons found aboard Kharadron gunships, the drill launcher fires a projectile that bores into its target before detonating.
If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a Drill Launcher is 6, that attack inflicts 3 mortal wounds on the target and the attack sequence ends (do not make a wound or save roll).

Grapnel Launcher: Grapnel launchers are used to entangle the enemy and stop them from making their escape.
Enemy units cannot retreat if they are within 3" of any models from this unit armed with a Grapnel Launcher.

Hitchers: Kharadron kitted out with buoyancy endrins can attach themselves to a passing skyvessel and move alongside it.
If this unit is wholly within 6" of a friendly SKYVESSEL immediately before the SKYVESSEL uses its Fly High ability, you can say that this unit will hitch a lift instead of making a normal move (as long as this unit has not already made a normal move in the same phase).

If you do so, after that SKYVESSEL has moved, remove this unit from the battlefield and set it up again wholly within 6" of that SKYVESSEL, more than 1" from any terrain features or objectives and more than 9" from any enemy models.

No more than 7 models can hitch a lift on the same SKYVESSEL in the same turn.

Skyhook: Skyhooks are used to pull the bearer towards the foe.
Add 1 to charge rolls for this unit if any models from this unit are armed with a Skyhook.

Skymines: Skywardens surround themselves with airborne mines that explode on contact.
If an enemy unit that can fly ends a charge move within 1" of any friendly units with this ability, you can roll 1 dice for each model in that enemy unit. For each 6, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Timed Charges: Skywardens are practised at striking hard and then retreating quickly amidst timed explosions to cause massive damage.
Roll 1 dice for each enemy unit that is within 3" of this unit immediately before this unit makes a retreat move. On a 4+, the unit being rolled for suffers D3 mortal wounds.

KEYWORDS
ORDER, DUARDIN, KHARADRON OVERLORDS, SKYFARERS, SKYWARDENS
Flying
If the warscroll for a model says that the model can fly, it can pass across models and terrain features as if they were not there when it makes any type of move. Any vertical distance up and/or down is ignored when measuring a flying model’s move. It cannot finish the move on top of another model.
Melee Weapons
In order to make an attack with a melee weapon, a model must be in range of the target unit.
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.
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.

Normal Moves
Moves made in the movement phase are referred to as normal moves, to differentiate them from charge moves (made in the charge phase) and pile-in moves (made in the combat phase). A model making a normal move can move a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move characteristic shown on its warscroll.
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.
