Disciples of Tzeentch – Fateskimmer, Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot
12" 8 5+ 2 Heralds of Tzeentch are the captains of the Change God’s scintillating hosts. These daemons have been granted greater individuality and command of magic than the gibbering Horror masses, though ultimately they remain nothing but pawns in Tzeentch’s schemes. There are numerous different ranks of Herald, each with a role to play in their master’s ineffable designs. Obsessed with showing off their status and outdoing their rivals, Heralds of Tzeentch festoon themselves with arcane tomes and trinkets, relics scrounged from the archives of the Impossible Fortress and leaden with magic.
Fateskimmers are Heralds that have, through acts of particular deviousness, earned the right to ride a Burning Chariot. Borne upon a Disc of Tzeentch pulled by a pair of captive Screamers, they rain arcane destruction from on high, hurling spells, hexes and firestorms selected from their favoured eldritch tomes. Cautious and controlling Fateskimmers prefer to lurk upon the battle’s edge, screeching orders while conjuring streams of wyrdflame. Yet some Fateskimmers – those who believe that destiny often requires more deliberate shunts – cannot resist the thrill of smashing their bladed contraption into the enemy, delighting in the rain of blood and severed body parts that such a collision throws up. | ||

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.
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’

| 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! | ||
