Grey Seer on Screaming Bell

Mounted atop the creaking carriage of a Screaming Bell, a Grey Seer hurls dark sorcery into the enemy ranks. The ensorcelled bell tolls again and again, its warped peals shattering stone and bone, splintering sanity and rending reality itself.

DESCRIPTION

A Grey Seer on Screaming Bell is a single model armed with a Warpstone Staff.

MOUNT: This model’s Screaming Bell attacks with its Rusty Spikes.

CREW: This model has a Rat Ogor crew that attacks with its Tearing Claws and Fangs. For rules purposes, the Rat Ogor is treated in the same manner as a mount.

ABILITIES

Altar of the Horned Rat: Those skaven that scurry to battle in the shadow of a Screaming Bell are filled with the certainty of victory.
Do not take battleshock tests for friendly SKAVENTIDE units while they are wholly within 13" of this model.

Protection of the Horned Rat: An eerie sense of watchfulness surrounds this war engine, and an unholy warding protects it from harm.
Roll a dice each time you allocate a wound or mortal wound to this model. On a 5+ that wound or mortal wound is negated.

Pushed into Battle: The Screaming Bell’s wheeled carriage is heaved into battle by the massed skaven that swarm about it.
This model cannot move unless it starts the move within 6" of 10 or more friendly SKAVENTIDE models. In addition, this model’s Rusty Spikes have an Attacks characteristic of 2D6 instead of D6 if this model made a charge move in the same turn.

Peal of Doom: The ominous tolling of a Screaming Bell resounds above the clamour of battle, crying out ‘Doom! Doom! Doom!’.
At the start of your hero phase, roll 2D6 for this model and look up the result on the table below. The range of the Peal of Doom is shown on the damage table above.
2D6Result
2Magical Backlash: Each unit within 3" of this model suffers D3 mortal wounds.
3-4Unholy Clamour: Add D6" to this model’s Move characteristic until your next hero phase.
5-6Deafening Peals: Roll a dice for each enemy unit within range of this model’s Peal of Doom. On a 4+ that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.
7Avalanche of Energy: Until the end of this hero phase, add 1 to casting rolls for friendly SKAVENTIDE WIZARDS that are within range of this model’s Peal of Doom.
8-9Apocalyptic Doom: Roll a dice for each enemy unit within range of this model’s Peal of Doom. On a 4+ that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
10-11Wall of Unholy Sound: Until your next hero phase, subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks made by enemy units while they are wholly within range of this model’s Peal of Doom.
12A Stirring Beyond the Veil: You can summon a VERMINLORD to the battlefield and add it to your army. The summoned unit must be set up within range of this model’s Peal of Doom and more than 9" from any enemy units. If you roll this result a second or subsequent time during a battle, heal up to 12 wounds allocated to this model instead of summoning a VERMINLORD.

MAGIC

This model is a WIZARD. It can attempt to cast two spells in your hero phase, and attempt to unbind two spells in the enemy hero phase. It knows the Arcane Bolt, Mystic Shield and Cracks Call spells.

Cracks Call: Harnessing the thunderous peals of the Screaming Bell, the Grey Seer channels a reverberating sorcerous blast into the ground beneath the enemy’s feet. Gaping chasms and fume-gouting rents yawn wide, sending screaming victims vanishing into the depths.
Cracks Call has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick 1 enemy unit within 18" of the caster and visible to them, and roll 2D6. If the roll is greater than that unit’s Move characteristic, that unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the difference between its Move characteristic and the roll. This spell has no effect on units that can fly.

Mounts
Sometimes the description for a model will include information about the model having a mount, such as a battle steed, a powerful monster that they can ride, or a massive war machine that they can stand upon. Note that when the model is slain both the rider and their mount are removed.
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.
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.
Casting and Unbinding Spells
A WIZARD can attempt to cast spells in its own hero phase. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same turn (even with a different wizard).

In order to cast a spell, first say which spell the wizard is going to attempt to use (it must be one they know). To cast the spell, roll 2D6. If the total is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.

If a spell is cast, the opposing player can choose one of their WIZARDS that is within 30" of the caster to attempt to unbind the spell before its effects are applied. To unbind a spell, roll 2D6. If the roll beats the roll used to cast the spell, then the spell is not successfully cast. Only one attempt can be made to unbind a spell.

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.

Healing Wounds
Some abilities allow wounds that have been allocated to a model to be healed. For each wound that is healed, remove one of the wounds that have been allocated to the model. You can’t heal wounds on a model that has been slain.

Arcane Bolt
Arcane Bolt has a casting value of 5. If successfully cast, pick an enemy unit within 18" of the caster that is visible to them. That unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If the casting roll was 10 or more, the unit suffers D3 mortal wounds instead.
Mystic Shield
Mystic Shield has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick a friendly unit within 18" of the caster that is visible to them. Re-roll save rolls of 1 for that unit until your next hero phase.

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.
