Daughters of Khaine – High Gladiatrix
6" 5 5+ 2 Those aelves that become High Gladiatrixes are not merely promoted but instead undergo a bloody apotheosis within the gladiatorial arena. They are marked by their ability to overcome ever more perilous contests of arms – and with brutal, exhilarating flair. At the beginning of a night’s death-games, they may fight a single snarling Frost Sabre, but such will soon be followed by a mob of captive orruks and a duo of rampaging Stegadons. They are their deity’s will made manifest, incarnated in each dazzling display of slaughter.
Though High Gladiatrixes hold no formal position amongst the war covens, few of Morathi’s generals would deny their aid. They are one woman armies, wielding serpentine whips and blades to eviscerate their foes with a contemptuous flick of the wrist. Bands of Witch Aelves and Sisters of Slaughter flock to a High Gladiatrix’s presence, fighting with such fervour that it is said they would follow their idols into the Realm of Chaos itself. The crimson blessings that radiate from the High Gladiatrix intensify with each successive act of carnage until the battlefield is awash with gore. | ||

3.1 Regiments
Armies are made up of one or more regiments, each of which is led by a HERO. You must have at least 1 regiment in your army, and you can include a maximum of 5 regiments. To add a regiment, pick 1 HERO from your faction, then pick up to 3 non-HERO units to accompany them.Each HERO’s battle profile lists which units can be added to their regiment, and each non-HERO unit’s battle profile lists any relevant keywords it has. The battle profiles of some HEROES (such as named characters) may say that they can be added to the regiment of another HERO.
6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.
| ||
| In some cases, il might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||

Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect. Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
