8" 12 5+ 5 Greatest of all the abominations spawned by the experiments of the Order Serpentis are the monstrosities known as War Hydras, each one created through dark sorcery and perfectly tailored for the battlefield. Driven forward by the lashes of scarred handlers, these creatures are imprecise but devastating living weapons. | ||

IMPOSSIBLE TO DESTROY: It is almost impossible to kill a Hydra, for they regenerate wounds and regrow severed heads with alarming speed.
Effect: If this unit would be destroyed, before removing it from play, roll 6 dice. Subtract 1 from the number of dice rolled for each destroyed head token this unit has.
If any of the rolls are a 5+, this unit is not destroyed and any remaining damage points inflicted on it have no effect. Then, Heal (1) this unit for each 5+. Finally, give this unit 1 destroyed head token.

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.
