Flesh-eater Courts – Varghulf Courtier
10" 8 5+ 1 6+ Varghulfs are the most degenerate of all Ushoran’s vampiric brood, their bestial nature reflected in their unholy form. Nevertheless, to the ghouls, the Varghulfs are saintly champions indeed, and they follow them to battle with a rapturous joy. | ||

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’

SEED OF REBIRTH: Should the bearer of this seed ever fall, its rejuvenating energies will grant them new life.
Effect: The first time this unit would be destroyed, before removing it from play, roll a dice. On a 3+, this unit is not destroyed and any remaining damage points inflicted on it have no effect. Then, Heal (D3) this unit.
21.0 Healing
Some abilities allow you to heal a unit. To heal a unit, remove a number of damage points from the unit equal to the number in brackets after ‘Heal’, e.g. Heal (2).FAQ
| Q: | If an ability (e.g. ‘Seed of Rebirth’) would allow a unit that would be destroyed to negate all remaining damage points then heal to prevent that unit from being destroyed, and another ability (e.g. ‘Quenching the Flames’) prevents that unit from healing, would that unit still be destroyed? |
| A: | Yes. |
18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect.| Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
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.
