Daughters of Khaine – Khinerai Lifetakers
12" 2 5+ 1 The Khinerai known as Lifetakers are swift-attack specialists and elite ambushers who serve to deliver aerial sneak attacks that blindside the enemy from above. Tucking their wings close, they plummet downwards at high speed. At the last moment, they spread their leathery pinions, halting their descent as they swing their sickleblades with maximum force to scythe down foes. Forged from priceless shadow-metal, these weapons are designed to slice open throats and remove heads with a single blow.
Even as nearby enemies rally to pin the Khinerai Lifetakers in combat, the Khainites rise above the melee in a flurry of beating wings, looking for the next vulnerable targets to strike. Somewhat less frenzied in their ferocity than their Heartrender kin, Lifetakers possess an uncanny ability to read the battlefield. They respond with fearsome speed to enemy breakthroughs or apparent weaknesses in the enemy line, striking home in a spray of viscera. | ||

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.

| 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! | ||
