Disciples of Tzeentch – Curseling, Eye of Tzeentch
5" 6 3+ 2 Curselings are grotesque bipartite entities who bartered their very being for eldritch truths. Should a pact be struck, a strange lump appears on their form, growing more pronounced over nights of disorienting pain. From pallid skin grows a ruff of scintillating feathers and an eyeless head, thin limbs twitching and gesticulating.
This homunculus-creature is a Tretchlet, a lesser daemon-form that allows a measure of Tzeentch’s will to possess its host. In return for a mortal anchor to bind it to the realms, they provide the Curseling the intuition to discern truth from falsehood. Those who would slay this peculiar double creature at close quarters find themselves thwarted by the strong sword arm of the host, a formidable warrior in their own right.
Curselings are thieves of the arcane, loathed by those gifted in spellcraft. Yet their existence is a fraught one. Tretchlets are conniving entities, forever scheming to seize control of their host. Should the Curseling not remain on guard, they may find themselves trapped within their own mind, forced to watch as the Tretchlet puppets them onwards. | ||

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, 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. | ||
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.
2.0 Spells
The declare step of each spell will tell you to make a casting roll of 2D6. If the roll does not equal or exceed the spell’s casting value (at the top-right corner of the spell), the spell fails and its effect is not resolved.If the unmodified casting roll includes 2 or more rolls of 1, the spell is miscast: the spell fails, its effect is not resolved, D3 mortal damage is inflicted on the WIZARD that used it, and that WIZARD cannot use any more spells in that phase.
Enemy reactions can only be used if the casting roll equals or exceeds the spell’s casting value. So long as the spell is not unbound (see 4.0), then it is successfully cast: resolve its effect.

1.1 Power Level
Each WIZARD and PRIEST has a power level, shown in brackets after the keyword, e.g. WIZARD (2). A WIZARD or PRIEST’s power level determines the number of SPELL, PRAYER or BANISH abilities they can use per phase, in any combination. For example, a WIZARD (2) unit could use 1 SPELL and 1 BANISH ability in their commander’s hero phase.
