Flesh-eater Courts – Abhorrant Ghoul King on Royal Zombie Dragon
12" 16 4+ 5 At the heart of every cannibal court lurks an abhorrant monarch known as a Ghoul King or Queen. These vampires are tied by blood to their beloved Ushoran, and both his power and his madness flow thickly in their veins. As deranged as their dread master, Abhorrant Ghoul Kings see themselves as honourable lords in service to a benevolent liege, and they feel a patrician’s imperative to ensure that their loyal populace is well fed and happy. In reality, this means that they launch constant raids against the lands of the living, gorging themselves on fresh blood and meat while spreading madness and horror wherever they go.
Possessing a vampire’s physical might and innate mastery over the magic of death, Abhorrant Ghoul Kings are able to animate and control the remains of long-dead titans. Greatly prized is the mighty cadaver of a great drake, for in death, the draconic beasts of the realms maintain a morbid majesty befitting a monarch. Almost immune to conventional attacks, the Zombie Dragon carries its master into the thick of the slaughter, raking with teeth and claws and belching gouts of pestilential fumes that cause flesh to bubble and run like hot wax. | ||

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.
