1.1 Army Roster
These rules will explain how to create an army roster to prepare for a battle. You can find a blank army roster printable copy below:

Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.
Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.

Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.

The non-MONSTER DAEMON keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:

• Karanak
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.
Companion
Unless otherwise specified, attacks made by this weapon are not affected by friendly abilities that modify hit rolls, wound rolls or weapon characteristics, except for those that apply negative modifiers (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).

The MONSTER keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:

Battle Traits
Once Per Battle, Any Hero Phase
BLOOD-DRENCHED: As blood gushes down blades, armour and teeth, the fervent warriors of the Blood God are driven into a divine frenzy.

Declare: You can use this ability if at least half the number of units on both players’ army rosters combined (rounding up) have been destroyed. For example, if your roster had 9 units and your opponent’s roster had 4 units, then 7 units would need to have been destroyed.

Effect: The following effects apply for the rest of the battle:

Wild-eyed Brutality: Ignore positive modifiers to save rolls for friendly BLADES OF KHORNE units.

Blood Haze: Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLOODBOUND units have Crit (Mortal).

Weapons of Murder: Add 1 to the Rend characteristic of Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLADES OF KHORNE non-MONSTER DAEMON units, including Blood-hungry Companion weapons.

Bloodlords Supreme: Add 1 to the Damage characteristic of Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLADES OF KHORNE MONSTER units.

Crit (2 Hits)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack scores 2 hits on the target unit instead of 1. Make a wound roll for each hit.
3.3 Reinforced Units
When you add a unit to your army roster, you can add it as a reinforced unit. A reinforced unit has twice as many models as its minimum unit size and costs twice as many points. If a unit has a minimum unit size of 1, it cannot be reinforced. In addition, some units with a unit size of more than 1 can not be reinforced. This will be noted on their battle profile.
17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’

  • A unit’s combat range extends 3" out from every model in that unit.
  • If any enemy models are within a unit’s combat range and visible to it, that unit is in combat.
