Blades of Khorne – Skarr Bloodwrath
5" 7 4+ 2 From youth, the warrior who would become Skarr Bloodwrath was marked by the daemonic. As he grew in stature and infamy, his flesh turned an arterial crimson and the mark of Khorne was scored across his hide. Wielding the Bloodstorm Blades, the so-called Slaughterborn cut through all that stood before him while heedless of his own life. When finally he was vanquished by some nameless adversary, not even death could stay the ultimate berserker. On some forlorn battlefield, the Slaughterborn rose from a pool of heroes’ blood, his rebirth consecrated in an explosion of gore – and his hunger for carnage undiminished.
Skarr’s immortality through battle has seen him become a blight on the realms. There is no set period in which his crimson resurrection occurs. Sometimes the Slaughterborn vanishes for years after falling; sometimes he returns in mere moments. Yet, eventually, return he always does. Skarr’s psychotic fury is a beacon to fellow Bloodbound, who travel for leagues to fight alongside him. Wrathmongers in particular feel a kinship with Skarr, often acting as an impromptu retinue – though the Slaughterborn pays them less than no mind as he kills and kills again. | ||

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). | ||
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.Crit (2 Hits)

24.2 Replacement Units
Some abilities allow you to set up a replacement unit. When setting up that unit, it should have the same warscroll type, weapon options and number of models as the original unit, unless otherwise specified in the ability. Many of these abilities specify the proportion of models in the replacement unit (e.g. half the number of models from the original unit). In these cases, you can pick which models from the original unit are set up.The replacement unit is otherwise treated as a new unit; any keywords or abilities the original unit gained during the battle, and any persisting effects that applied to it, do not apply to the replacement unit. Each unit can only be replaced once, and you cannot replace replacement units.
| Because a replacement unit is treated as a completely new unit, it could, for instance, use a Once Per Battle ability on its warscroll even if the unit it replaced used that ability earlier in the battle. | ||
