Fyreslayers – Auric Runesmiter on Magmadroth
10" 14 4+ 5 The prayers of an Auric Runesmiter are a war cry and their blessings are blazing coronas of flame. Within the thick of the fighting, their chants become burning energy made manifest, for battle is the domain of their ancestral god Grimnir. These members of the Zharrgrim priesthood are responsible for accruing ur-gold, and will take to the fore of battle to deliver their sermons to the warriors fighting to retrieve it. With shouted tales of ancestral heroics, their own battle-joy swells until divine energy sparks out from them in waves. Any warriors around the Runesmiters are inspired by their rumbling chants, filling them with vigour and righteous fury. This causes their ur-gold runes to blaze and sparkle as Grimnir’s essence responds in kind, filling their bearers with fell-handed power.
The most powerful Runesmiters of the Zarrgrim Priesthood will ride to battle upon the backs of 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.
