Daughters of Khaine – Khinerai Heartrenders
12" 2 5+ 1 The Khinerai Heartrenders sweep out of the skies, dark streaks that cut swiftly through low clouds. With streams of vapour still clinging to their bodies, they use their momentum to launch cruelly barbed javelins with great force. These missiles travel with such velocity that they can skewer both a mounted warrior and their steed and still embed themselves deep into the ground. The Heartrenders do not stop to watch the gory aftermath of their arrival. Always do they seek new prey, their powerful wings carrying them to another part of the battlefield in moments, javelins materialising out of the mists into their hands. Should a tempting enough target present itself, the Heartrenders will forego their missile assault and dive straight into combat – their spiked shortspears are perfectly weighted for hand-to-hand fighting, and they can swiftly retreat should the enemy bring overpowering numbers.
Heartrenders conceal their faces behind gilded masks, never revealing their true appearance even to their fellow Khainites. Some say that their faces are horrifically deformed and avian, possessing none of the statuesque beauty that the aelves prize. Perhaps this might account for their bloodthirsty nature and the cruel delight with which they pursue and slaughter retreating foes. | ||

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). | ||
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.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. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’

Units with the FLY keyword have the following passive ability:| Passive |
FLY: Soaring above the battlefield, this unit can reach destinations that are inaccessible to other troops.
Effect: As this unit moves, it ignores other models, terrain features and the combat ranges of enemy units. It cannot end its move in combat unless specified in the ability that allowed it to move. Ignore any vertical distance moved for this unit.
| When moving flying units, move them horizontally in any direction, ignoring intervening models and terrain, and place them where you wish, so long as they are allowed to end their move on that spot. Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
