Flesh-eater Courts – Varghulf Courtier
10" 8 5+ 2 Long-limbed and bestial in appearance, a Varghulf is a vampiric creature within whose cursed blood the Boon of Ushoran runs deep. While they often prowl low to the ground like some creeping sloggoth or bog-haunter, these are no mere carrion-feeders; they prefer fresh meat, especially if it fights back. Their jaws have strength enough to crush plate armour or tear out the throat of a rhinox in one powerful yank. When truly overcome by hunger, Varghulfs have been witnessed punching through the thick hulls of Ironweld steam-hulks, their disturbingly dexterous fingers dragging out the crew like a famished soldier scrabbling for their rations.
So feral are Varghulfs that they rarely walk amongst a court, even on feast days; instead, they dwell in sacred cloisters deep beneath the earth. Only righteous battle can entice a Varghulf to quit their abode. Surrounded by swaying and howling ghouls, they are festooned by the Cardinals with garlands of slick sinew and organs before taking to the field. There, they enter a rabid frenzy that is terrible to behold, rampaging through the enemy ranks at will. Any wounds they suffer soon close again, for the Varghulf’s gory feast infuses its very being with necrotic power. | ||

The SERFS keyword is used in the following Flesh-eater Courts warscrolls:
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.

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.
