BATTALIONS: This warscroll can be used in the following warscroll battalions:
•
Shrine Brood
WIZARD: This unit can attempt to
cast 1 spell in your
hero phase and attempt to
unbind 2 spells in the enemy hero phase.
COMPANION: This unit is accompanied by Shrinekeepers armed with Goadstaves.
Aura of Agony: Bloodwrack Shrines emit an aura that causes waves of agony to course through the enemy.
At the start of your
hero phase, you can roll 1 dice for each enemy unit within 7" of this unit. If the roll is equal to or greater than the Aura of Agony value shown on this unit’s damage table, that enemy unit suffers D3
mortal wounds. The same unit cannot be affected by this ability more than once per turn.
Bladed Impact: The bladed carriage of a Bloodwrack Shrine can cleave its way through enemy ranks with ease.
After this unit makes a
charge move, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of this unit and roll a dice. On a 2+, that enemy unit suffers D3
mortal wounds.
Bloodwrack Stare: Should a victim’s eyes lock with a Bloodwrack Medusas stare for even a second, their life blood will violently rebel, flooding from every pore until their body collapses into a pool of gore.
Do not use the
attack sequence for an attack made with a Bloodwrack Stare. Instead, roll a number of dice equal to the number of models in the target unit that are within range of the attack. For each 5+, the target unit suffers 1
mortal wound.
Melusai Kin: A Bloodwrack Medusa leads her Melusai kin into battle, encouraging them to follow her example and strike down the enemy with brutal swiftness.
At the start of your
combat phase, you can pick 1 friendly
MELUSAI unit wholly within 12" of this unit. Add 1 to the number of the current battle round when determining the abilities gained by that unit from the
Blood Rites battle trait until the end of that phase. This ability and other similar abilities are cumulative.
Enfeebling Foe: The Bloodwrack Medusa reaches into her victims minds, sapping their strength.
Enfeebling Foe is a spell that has a casting value of 5 and a range of 18". If successfully cast, pick 1 enemy unit within range and visible to the caster. Subtract 1 from wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by that unit until your next hero phase.
