Marrowscroll Heralds are senior delegates of the court, sent to deliver entreaties to the other nations of the realms. In doing so, they spread the curse of Ushoran far and wide, leaving in their wake desolation and madness.
Unit Size: 1 Points: 100
Battlefield Role: Leader
Notes: Single
A Marrowscroll Herald is armed with a Bone Scythe.
The King’s Entreaty: The message carried by a Marrowscroll Herald is an entreaty to madness and carnage.
At the end of the
charge phase, you can pick 1 enemy unit within 3" of this unit and say that this unit will offer it an infected bone. If you do so, your opponent must choose whether that enemy unit accepts or refuses the bone.
If it refuses, the
strike-first effect applies to friendly
FLESH-EATER COURTS units within 3" of this unit until the end of the following
combat phase.
If it accepts, that enemy unit becomes infected. For the rest of the battle, roll 2D6 before an infected unit issues or
receives a command, attempts to cast a
spell, or chants a
prayer. Make the roll before the action is carried out. If the roll is greater than that unit’s Bravery characteristic, that unit cannot perform that action in that phase.
Don’t Shoot the Messenger: Marrowscroll Heralds are viewed as divine messengers by their ghoulish minions, who will go to any lengths to protect them.
This unit is not visible to enemy models while it is wholly within 6" of 5 or more other friendly
FLESH-EATER COURTS models.
