Flesh-eater Courts – Abhorrant Gorewarden
12" 7 5+ 2 Gorewardens are the guardians of a charnel kingdom’s borders and marches. These winged vampires squat atop tumbled fortifications, forever alert for trespassers and salivating in anticipation of fresh meat. When a foolish foe passes some unspoken boundary, the vampire releases a soul-shredding shriek before taking flight upon leathery wings, soon joined by a hunting party of other airborne horrors. Gorewardens are natural predators, able to sniff out vulnerability at a glance before descending to rip their prey into shreds. Before long, whatever remains of the enemy retreats back over the border in disarray, leaving their wounded to be dragged to the Gorewarden’s lair and devoured.
Gorewardens are drawn from the most loyal members of a sovereign’s extended family. They are rewarded for their faithful service not only through blood rites that see them sprout powerful wings but also by being granted the ‘keys to the kingdom’, rusted relics plundered from overrun castles that they regard as symbols of authority. Gorewardens are prone to fanaticism; after all, Ushoran himself entrusted them with their sacred duties, and to fail him would be a terrible crime. Many wear the bones of slain enemies as ruffs imitating a sunburst, marking themselves as holy warriors of the Summerking. | ||

Units with the FLY keyword have the following passive ability:| 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.
| 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! | ||
