Skeleton Warriors

When a Deathrattle king sends out the call to war, his skeletal thralls respond in their endless multitudes, arming themselves with ancient, pitted weapons and grasping battered shields. These revenant warriors fight in total silence, butchering the foe without rage, hatred or mercy for as long as their master wills it.

DESCRIPTION

A unit of Skeleton Warriors has 10 or more models. Some units are equipped with Ancient Blades, whilst others go to war with Ancient Spears. Units of Skeleton Warriors also carry battered Crypt Shields for protection.

SKELETON CHAMPION: The leader of this unit is a Skeleton Champion. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of a Skeleton Champion’s Ancient Blade or Ancient Spear.

STANDARD BEARER: Models in this unit may be Standard Bearers. Subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of enemy units whilst they are within 6" of any DEATH Standard Bearers.

HORNBLOWER: Models in this unit may be Hornblowers. A unit that includes any Hornblowers can always move up to 6" when it charges, unless its charge roll is higher.

ABILITIES

Serve in Death: Add 1 to hit rolls for Skeleton Warriors units that are within 18" of any friendly DEATH HEROES.

Skeleton Legion: Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of this unit’s melee weapons if it has 20 or more models. Add 2 instead if it has 30 or more models.

Crypt Shields: Add 1 to save rolls for a unit carrying Crypt Shields against attacks that have a Rend characteristic of ‘-’.

KEYWORDS
DEATH, SKELETON, DEATHRATTLE, SUMMONABLE, SKELETON WARRIORS
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.
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.
