Flesh-eater Courts – Veremord’s Shamblers
•REGIMENT OF RENOWN•
Veremord’s Shamblers
Crypt-keepers dread the coming of Veremord. This student of necromancy is a master at breaking wards set around tombs and corpse-pits, pilfering the bodies within for his growing horde. Key to Veremord’s success is the arcane smoke that billows from his Corpse Cart, vapours that eat through magical defences. | ||

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.
15.1 Coherency
Any time a unit is set up or ends a move, it must be in a single group. A unit is considered to be in a coherent group if each model in that unit is within coherency range, measured horizontally, of at least 1 other model in that unit (ignore differences in height between the two models).For the majority of units, coherency range is 1/2", though some units (particularly those with large models with overhanging parts) have a longer coherency range noted on their warscroll for ease of play. While there are 7 or more models in a unit, that unit is considered to be in a coherent group if each model in that unit is within coherency range of at least 2 other models in that unit.
If it is not possible for a unit to end a move in a single coherent group, that move cannot be made.

18.3 Slain Models
The commander of a unit must pick which model(s) in the unit are slain. However, after each slain model is removed, the unit must be in a single coherent group (see 15.1). If this is not possible, continue to remove models, one at a time, until the unit is in a single coherent group. You must remove the fewest models possible to make the unit a single coherent group.FAQ / Errata

3.5 Regiments of Renown
In addition to creating your own regiments, you can also spend points to include 1 Regiment of Renown. Regiments of Renown are pre-built regiments, each with their own special abilities. The rules for each Regiment of Renown will specify which factions can include it. A unit in a Regiment of Renown cannot be your general even if it is a WARMASTER.- You cannot include more than one Regiment of Renown in your army unless otherwise specified in the notes column of that regiment’s battle profile.
- Units in a Regiment of Renown cannot use (but can be picked as the target of, if otherwise eligible) any faction rules from the faction they are allied into, including enhancements and lores.
- If an ability allows you to set up a replacement unit (Core Rules, 24.2) for a unit in a Regiment of Renown, that unit also counts as being part of that Regiment of Renown.
