Beasts of Chaos – Ravening Direflock
The spectral crows of a Ravening Direflock are harbingers of doom, filling the minds of those who hear their piercing caws with an inescapable sense of dread. They circle over the battlefield, harrying those who try to flee the carnage. SUMMONING: This endless spell is summoned with a spell that has a casting value of 5 and a range of 12". If successfully cast, set up the parts of the endless spell within 3" of each other, wholly within range and visible to the caster, and more than 1" from all models, other endless spells and invocations. Only BEASTS OF CHAOS WIZARDS can attempt to summon this endless spell. PREDATORY: This endless spell is a predatory endless spell. It can be moved up to 8" and can fly. The parts of this endless spell must remain within 3" of each other. Harbingers of Dark Omens: Those who hear the cawing of these fell creatures experience terrifying visions of their own impending doom. Models cannot issue the Rally or inspiring Presence commands while they are within 6" of this endless spell. This ability has no effect on BEASTS OF CHAOS units. The Stalking Shadow: A Ravening Direflock casts a doom-filled shadow onto the battlefield below, stirring panic in those that find themselves beneath its encroaching torment. Roll a dice each time an enemy model issues a command within 6" of this endless spell. On a 5+, that command is not received (the command ability still counts as having been used) and the command point that was spent to issue that command is lost. | ||
Rally
At a shouted command, injured warriors stagger back to their feet and prepare to fight once more.You can use this command ability at the start of the hero phase. The unit that receives the command must be more than 3" from all enemy units. Roll 1 dice for each slain model from that unit. For each 6, you can return 1 slain model to that unit.
You can only return models to that unit that have a combined Wounds characteristic of 10 or less. For example, if the unit that received the command has a Wounds characteristic of 2, you can return a maximum of 5 models to that unit.

9.4 Flying
If the warscroll used by a model says that it can fly, you can ignore other models and terrain features when you trace the path of its move across the battlefield (it flies over them). In addition, when a model that can fly starts or finishes a move on a terrain feature, instead of tracing its move across the battlefield, you can trace it ‘through the air’, as shown in the diagram below.A flying model cannot finish a move on top of another model or finish a normal move, run or retreat within 3" of an enemy unit.
19.1 Casting Spells
In your hero phase, you can attempt to cast spells with friendly WIZARDS. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same hero phase, even with a different WIZARD. In order to attempt to cast a spell, pick a friendly WIZARD, say which of the spells that they know will be attempted, and then make a casting roll by rolling 2D6. If the casting roll is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.
