Cities of Sigmar – Executioners
6" 1 4+ 1 Marching alongside the vanguard of the Darkling Covens are the skull-masked Executioners, warriors whose two-handed draich blades are so well-made and balanced that they can cut a man in two at the waist.
It is said of this secretive warrior brethren that they openly worship Khaine the Bloody-Handed, the aelven god of war; that they are not truly aelves but are in part shadowkin from Ulgu; that they bathe in spiced blood instead of sleeping; and that they endure a constant agony that can only be relieved by the act of the violent kill. As to the veracity of these rumours, the mistresses of the Darkling Covens never speak. Perhaps it is those same doyennes who first circulated such legends, for a shield of terrifying rumours can protect a citadel district far better than any moat.
True virtuosos of slaughter, these warriors have mastered the art of severing heads with every swing of their curved draichs. Crimson arcs of hot blood spurt into the air as the Executioners leave a trail of diced cadavers in their wake. | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||
