Fyreslayers – Doomseeker
4" 5 5+ 2 Hacking through foes in an arc of fire and splattering blood, the Doomseekers fight with no regard for their own safety. These reckless warriors have sworn the barazakdum, or doom-oath in the Azyrite tongue, and have departed in search of a death worthy of legend. Each Doomseeker will make this vow for a different reason. Some will do so to restore their honour after breaking a vow or failing in their duty.
A Doomseeker will take on any foe, no matter how outmatched they might be. Their life no longer holds any value other than to die a meaningful death, so these warriors will slash and maim until their last breath rattles in their lungs.
Before setting off from their lodge for the last time, a Doomseeker will forge themselves a final weapon using the ever-burning flames of their master forge. This creates a weapon that is eternally wreathed in that flame, allowing one final connection between a Doomseeker and their estranged kin. They also carry a runic war-iron in their off hand that absorbs slivers of their rampant energy as they fight, allowing them to become more powerful even as they sustain wounds that should weaken them. When the war-iron glows white-hot, as if fresh from the forge-fire, a Doomseeker is surely at their most dangerous. | ||

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.

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.
