Flesh-eater Courts – Crypt Infernal Courtier
12" 6 5+ 2 Crypt Infernal Courtiers are winged abominations whose hooked talons can shred steel and whose screeches can freeze a mortal heart. To become a Crypt Infernal, a ghoul must consume their sovereign’s blood mixed with drake-flesh. By doing so, they are granted a monstrous form, albeit one exalted by ghoulkind. In the eyes of fellow cannibals, they shine with a holy radiance, their purity further proven by the alabaster pinions that adorn their backs. Those who have not received Ushoran’s blessing are instead greeted by the sight of leather-winged fiends dropping from the sky to land amongst them, unleashing sonic shrieks that burst eardrums and eyeballs even as the rancid stench of rotting carrion fills their mouths.
Crypt Infernal Courtiers command the Deadwatch, the winged bodyguards of the nobility. When an abhorrant takes to the skies upon a mighty beast from their menagerie, they are often accompanied by their most loyal Infernals, hand-picked and bearing their own noble epithets and titles. To be permitted to touch a Crypt Infernal’s wings is a rare honour amongst ghouls, though any who approach these champions without permission risk being messily devoured. | ||

3.1 Regiments
Armies are made up of one or more regiments, each of which is led by a HERO. You must have at least 1 regiment in your army, and you can include a maximum of 5 regiments. To add a regiment, pick 1 HERO from your faction, then pick up to 3 non-HERO units to accompany them.Each HERO’s battle profile lists which units can be added to their regiment, and each non-HERO unit’s battle profile lists any relevant keywords it has. The battle profiles of some HEROES (such as named characters) may say that they can be added to the regiment of another HERO.
Those HEROES can join an eligible regiment as a Flesh-eater Noble.
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’

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.

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! | ||
