Lumineth Realm-lords – Vanari Dawnriders

The Dawnriders maintain tight formation as they charge into the foe, pennants fluttering proudly as they advance. With sunmetal lance and blade do they tear great chunks out of an enemy horde, riding them down with dauntless courage before leaping over the corpses and wheeling about to launch another assault.

BATTALIONS: This warscroll can be used in the following warscroll battalions:
• Dawnrider Battlehost
• Dawnrider Battlehost
WIZARD: The Steedmaster of this unit is a WIZARD while this unit has 3 or more models. That model can attempt to cast 1 spell in your hero phase and attempt to unbind 1 spell in the enemy hero phase.
MOUNT: This unit’s stallion steeds are armed with Dashing Hooves.
CHAMPION: 1 model in this unit can be a Steedmaster. That model is armed with a Sunmetal Lance and a Guardian’s Sword.
STANDARD BEARER: 1 in every 5 models in this unit can be a Standard Bearer. You can re-roll battleshock tests for this unit if it includes any Standard Bearers.
Deathly Furrows: Vanari Dawnriders scythe through enemy infantry, trampling over lesser foes and carving a furrow of death through the enemy ranks.
At the start of the combat phase, you can say that this unit will use its Deathly Furrows ability. If you do so, in that phase, you can either add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of this unit’s melee weapons, but it can only target units that have a Wounds characteristic of 1 or 2 and do not have a mount, or you can add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of this unit’s melee weapons, but it can only target units that have a Wounds characteristic of 1 and do not have a mount.

Lancers of the Dawn: When Vanari Dawnriders charge full pelt at the foe, their lances can punch through the thickest of armour in a blaze of light and explosive magical power.
If this unit made a charge move in the same turn, add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made with this unit’s Sunmetal Lances and improve the Rend characteristic of that weapon by 1.

Shining Company: Vanari warriors often fight in a tight grouping that combines the bright light of each numinous soul into a dazzling brilliance that befuddles enemies.
Subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target this unit if the base of each model in this unit is touching the bases of 2 or more other models in the same unit.

Sunmetal Weapons: The weapons used by Vanari Dawnriders are tipped with pure sunmetal that can burn a victim from the inside out.
If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made by this unit is 6, that attack causes 1 mortal wound to the target and the attack sequence ends (do not make a wound roll or save roll). This ability has no effect on attacks made by this unit’s mounts.

Power of Hysh: Lumineth wizards can use their arcane arts to empower sunmetal, making it burn with an even greater intensity.
Power of Hysh is a spell that has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, until your next hero phase, the Sunmetal Weapons ability for the caster and/or the unit they are part of causes mortal wounds on an unmodified hit roll of 5+ instead of 6. Any number of LUMINETH REALM-LORDS WIZARDS can attempt to cast Power of Hysh in the same hero phase.

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.
19.1.2 Unbinding Spells
If a spell is successfully cast, your opponent can pick 1 of their WIZARDS that is within 30" of the caster to attempt to unbind the spell before its effects are applied. In order to attempt to unbind a spell, first say which WIZARD will attempt to unbind it. Then make an unbinding roll by rolling 2D6. If the unbinding roll is greater than the roll used to cast the spell, then the spell is unbound and its effects are not applied. The number of spells a WIZARD can attempt to unbind is noted on their warscroll. Only 1 unbinding attempt can be made for each spell.
Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, the attack scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified hit roll of 6 always hits. A hit roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Sometimes an ability will allow a single hit roll to score two or more hits. If this is the case, make all of the wound and save rolls for those hits at the same time.
14.5 Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities cause 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 caused.Mortal wounds caused while a unit is attacking are allocated at the same time as wounds caused by the unit’s attacks: after all of the unit’s attacks have been made. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated as soon as they are caused. Mortal wounds are allocated in the same way as wounds and are treated in the same manner as wounds for rules purposes.
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, the attack wounds the target and your opponent must make a save roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified wound roll of 6 always wounds. A wound roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).
Save Roll
Your opponent rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. If the roll equals or beats the target unit’s Save characteristic, the target is saved and the attack sequence ends. If not, the attack is successful and you must determine the damage that is inflicted on the target. An unmodified save roll of 1 always fails. A save roll cannot be modified by more than +1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Designer’s Note: Save rolls do not always succeed on an unmodified roll of 6, and they can be modified by more than -1.
11.1 Charge Moves
When you attempt a charge with a unit, make a charge roll for the unit by rolling 2D6. You can then make a charge move with each model in that unit by moving the model a distance in inches that is equal to or less than the charge roll. The first model you move in a unit attempting a charge must finish the move within 1/2" of an enemy unit. If this is impossible, no models in the unit can make a charge move.| You do not have to pick a target for a charge attempt before making the charge roll. | ||

15.1 Battleshock Tests
You must make a battleshock roll for each friendly unit that has to take a battleshock test. To make a battleshock roll, roll a dice and add the number of models in the unit that were slain in that turn to the roll. If the battleshock roll is greater than the unit’s Bravery characteristic, the battleshock test has been failed. If the test is failed, for each point by which the battleshock roll exceeds the unit’s Bravery characteristic, 1 model in that unit must flee. You decide which models flee. A model that flees is removed from play.| If a slain model is returned to its unit in the same turn that it is slain, it still counts as having been slain in that battle round for the purposes of battleshock tests. | ||
22.3.1 Mounts, Companions and Crew
Sometimes the description on a warscroll will say whether the models in the unit have mounts, companions or a crew. When a model attacks, its mount, companions and crew attack too, and when the model is removed from play, its mount, companions and crew are removed too. For rules purposes, companions and crew are treated in the same manner as mounts.
