Disciples of Tzeentch – Scourge of Ghyran Ogroid Thaumaturge
6" 8 5+ 2 An Ogroid Thaumaturge is a hulking brute whose size and terrible strength belies a masterful grasp of sorcery. Amongst the Arcanite Cults of the Jade Kingdoms, they are worshipped as living idols – a status they are all too willing to exploit. Their eldritch wards draw upon the souls of nearby cultists, immolating the weak whilst protecting the ogroid from harm. | ||

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.
