Cities of Sigmar – Black Ark Corsairs
6" 1 5+ 1 Cruel-hearted and avaricious, Black Ark Corsairs form the hard-bitten crew of the Scourge Privateer wolfships. Wielding a variety of lethal weapons, they thrive in the chaos of a swirling melee, where their superior swordsmanship can be put to deadly use. There are a great many cities founded on the coasts and deltas of the realms, and it is from such locations that the Corsairs ply their trade, whether their customers desire their deadly skills or the strange sea creatures they tame. Their sleek, dark-hulled ships and vast Black Arks are a common sight outside the harbours.
The Corsairs of the Scourge armadas are known for their cunning and lethality whenever their forces are committed. Those who form the body of these forces strike swiftly and well, life on their rolling sea-vessels making them sure-footed even by aelven standards. Black Ark Corsairs can be easily recognised by their sea-drake cloaks, tough but pliable accoutrements that can be used to intercept enemy blades and missiles with a swirl of a hem before the lethal riposte is delivered, whether by finely balanced blade or by a dark-feathered shaft from a repeater handbow. | ||

32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||

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.
