Fyreslayers – Auric Runefather on Magmadroth
10" 14 4+ 5 Glorious lodge leaders and warriors both, the Auric Runefathers take to battle with the fury of Grimnir burning in their very veins. So fearsome are these grizzled and venerable kings that enemies have been known to flee rather than trade blows with a Runefather’s greataxe. Each one carries a mountain of responsibility upon their broad shoulders, ensuring their lodge receives a steady flow of ur-gold through which it can release the essence of their dead god. A Runefather’s rule is measured by foes they have defeated and ur gold gathered during their reign. Many of the riches and artefacts they accrue are sealed in vaults to which they alone bear the key.
Particularly storied Runefathers sometimes ride to battle on the backs of fire-breathing Magmadroths. These great salamanders are the descendants of Vulcatrix, the beast that died in battle with Grimnir centuries before. It is said only those who possess exceptional will and prowess can tame these creatures. Those that ride to war atop a Magmadroth command all attention on the battlefield and can single-handedly break apart enemy flanks with sheets of flame and arcing blows – even the superheated blood of the Magmadroth is a volatile threat should the enemy’s blades cut deep. | ||

17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
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.

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 Grimnir’s Chosen.
The WARMASTER keyword is used in the following Fyreslayers warscrolls:
Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.Companion
Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).Those HEROES can join an eligible regiment as a Vulcatrix’s Chosen.
