Drizzling ectoplasm and daemonic fire, the conjured sigil of Tzeentch is so redolent with mutative energies that it can transform those around it into a thousand fleshy forms. To stand close by is to risk horrific transmogrification - though in the final reckoning of battle, some of these mutations are as much a blessing as they are a curse.

Burning Sigil of Tzeentch
Any Hero Phase
RADIANT TRANSMOGRIFICATION: The Burning Sigil channels the energies of the Impossible Fortress; with each pulse comes a handful of blessings and curses as fickle as the bastion’s master.

Declare: This MANIFESTATION must use this ability in each hero phase. Pick each unit (friendly and enemy) within 9" of this MANIFESTATION to be the targets.

Effect: Roll 2 dice, pick either result, then apply the corresponding effect for the rest of the turn:

2-3: Heal (D3) each friendly DISCIPLES OF TZEENTCH target. Inflict D3 mortal damage on each enemy target.
4: Friendly DISCIPLES OF TZEENTCH targets can use CHARGE abilities even if they used a RUN ability in the same turn. Enemy targets cannot use RUN abilities.
5: Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by friendly DISCIPLES OF TZEENTCH targets. Subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks made by enemy targets.

17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
Your Movement Phase
RETREAT: The fighters disengage from combat, though at the cost of lowering their defences.

Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is in combat to use this ability.

Effect: Inflict D3 mortal damage on that unit. That unit can move a distance up to its Move characteristic. That unit can move through the combat ranges of any enemy units but cannot end that move within an enemy unit’s combat range.
KEYWORDSCORE, MOVE, RETREAT
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’

  • A unit’s combat range extends 3" out from every model in that unit.
  • If any enemy models are within a unit’s combat range and visible to it, that unit is in combat.

Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.
Passive
SEED OF REBIRTH: Should the bearer of this seed ever fall, its rejuvenating energies will grant them new life.

Effect: The first time this unit would be destroyed, before removing it from play, roll a dice. On a 3+, this unit is not destroyed and any remaining damage points inflicted on it have no effect. Then, Heal (D3) this unit.
21.0 Healing
Some abilities allow you to heal a unit. To heal a unit, remove a number of damage points from the unit equal to the number in brackets after ‘Heal’, e.g. Heal (2).

FAQ

Q:If an ability (e.g. ‘Seed of Rebirth’) would allow a unit that would be destroyed to negate all remaining damage points then heal to prevent that unit from being destroyed, and another ability (e.g. ‘Quenching the Flames’) prevents that unit from healing, would that unit still be destroyed?
A:
Yes.
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).
Cover
Subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target a unit that is behind or wholly on this terrain feature, unless that unit charged this turn or has the FLY keyword.
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.
Obscuring
While every model in a non-MONSTER non‐WAR MACHINE unit that does not have the FLY keyword is within 1" of this terrain feature, the following apply:
  • That unit is only visible to enemy units that are within its combat range.
  • The Range characteristic of that unit’s ranged weapons is halved (rounding down to the nearest inch).
Unstable
Models can move across but cannot be set up on or end any type of move on any part of this terrain feature that is more than 1" tall.
1.4.2 Obscuring Terrain
Examples: Wyldwood, fortress wall
Terrain Abilities: Cover, Obscuring, Unstable
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.
If a rule or ability requires a target to be both within a given range of and visible to the unit using that ability, or to a model in that unit, both conditions must be met by the same model in the target. You could not, for instance, target a unit where one model is within range but not visible and another model is not in range but is visible.
  • If any part of another model can be seen by an observing model, both the target model and its unit are visible to that observing model.

In some cases, it 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.

FAQ / Errata

FAQ
Q:If a non-FLY INFANTRY HERO (e.g. a Scinari Cathallar) is a Shrine Guardian of a Shrine Luminor, and that Shrine Guardian is within 1" of an obscuring terrain feature, is the Shrine Guardian visible to enemy abilities that target the Shrine Guardian?
A:
Yes.

18.1 Ward Saves
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.

Combat attacks
Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.
Universal Core Abilities - Charge Phase
Your Charge Phase
CHARGE: With a mighty battle cry, the warriors charge into combat with the enemy.

Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is not in combat and has not used a RUN or RETREAT ability this turn to use this ability. Then, make a charge roll of 2D6.

Effect: That unit can move a distance up to the value of the charge roll. That unit can move through the combat ranges of any enemy units and must end that move within 1/2" of a visible enemy unit. If it does so, the unit using this ability has charged.
KEYWORDSCORE, MOVE, CHARGE

Shoot in Combat
This weapon can be used to make shooting attacks even if the attacking unit is in combat.
Shooting attacks
Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).
18.4 Destroyed Units
When the last model in a unit is slain, the unit is destroyed and all remaining damage points inflicted on that unit have no effect. Similarly, if something causes a unit to be destroyed, all models in the unit are slain and removed from play.
16.0 Picking Targets
When declaring an ATTACK ability for a unit, you must pick the target unit(s) for its attacks. The number of attacks each model can make is equal to the Attacks characteristic of the weapons it is using. In most cases, models attack with every weapon on their warscroll (melee weapons for combat attacks, ranged weapons for shooting attacks), though some warscrolls specify that certain models in the unit are armed with special weapons or that the unit must pick between multiple weapons when it attacks.

If the unit is in combat, it can only target units that are in combat with it. If a model has more than one attack, you can split the attacks between eligible targets as you wish.
  • Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.

  • Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).

FAQ

Q:When making shooting attacks, can all models in the attacking unit shoot even if the target unit is not visible to some of those models?
A:
No, the only models in the attacking unit that can make shooting attacks are those that the target unit is visible to.
Q:When a unit uses a SHOOT ability, does it have to shoot with all of the ranged weapons that it is armed with?
A:
Yes.
Your Shooting Phase
SHOOT: The warriors take aim and unleash a deadly volley.

Declare: Pick a friendly unit that has not used a RUN or RETREAT ability this turn to use this ability. Then, pick one or more enemy units as the target(s) of that unit’s attacks (see 16.0).

Effect: Resolve shooting attacks against the target unit(s).
KEYWORDSCORE, ATTACK, SHOOT
Any Combat Phase
FIGHT: Locked in a deadly melee, the fighters strike out at their foes.

Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is in combat or that charged this turn to use this ability. That unit can make a pile-in move. Then, if that unit is in combat, you must pick one or more enemy units as the target(s) of that unit’s attacks.

Effect: Resolve combat attacks against the target unit(s).

7.0 Manifestations
There are two types of manifestation: endless spells, which can be summoned by WIZARDS, and invocations, which can be summoned by PRIESTS. Each manifestation has its own warscroll, and the spell or prayer that allows that manifestation to be summoned will be found in the appropriate manifestation lore. No more than 1 friendly WIZARD or PRIEST can attempt to summon the same manifestation per turn, and a friendly WIZARD or PRIEST cannot attempt to summon a friendly manifestation that was removed from play in the same turn.

Manifestations are not units but can be interacted with in similar ways, as explained next:
ALL MANIFESTATIONS
Models can move through them but cannot end a move on them.
Units can finish a charge move within ½" of an enemy manifestation instead of within ½" of an enemy unit.
They can be damaged and destroyed as if they were units but do not count as destroyed units for the purposes of battle tactics and abilities.
They are affected by all enemy abilities as if they were units.
They can use CORE abilities as if they were units, and they can use abilities on their warscroll. Unless specified otherwise, they cannot use and are not affected by any other friendly abilities, and they do not count as units for the purposes of battle tactics or friendly abilities.
They can only use the ‘Shoot’ or ‘Fight’ abilities if they have weapons of the appropriate type.
MANIFESTATIONS WITH A MOVE CHARACTERISTIC OF ‘-’
They cannot move.
They only count as being in combat in the combat phase, and enemy units only count as being in combat with them in the combat phase.
They cannot make shooting attacks with ranged weapons that do not have Shoot in Combat while there is a visible enemy unit within 3" of them.
MANIFESTATIONS WITH A MOVE CHARACTERISTIC GREATER THAN ‘-’
They are treated as if they were units for the purposes of movement, combat range, being in combat and setting up terrain features, other manifestations and other units.
