Gloomspite Gitz – Kragnos, the End of Empires
10" 18 4+ 15 5+ A roaring, trampling god of earthquakes and wanton destruction, Kragnos is known as the End of Empires. Already a natural disaster made manifest, his rampages are further augmented by his legendary armaments. The shield Tuskbreaker is said to have been cast aside by Gorkamorka himself; the spells of enemy mages break instantly upon its surface, supposedly due to the residual divine essence that suffuses it. The Dread Mace, Kragnos’s massive studded club, is powerful enough to shatter walls of solid rock. Legends say that he retrieved the weapon’s head from an ancient geomantic nexus, and that it is infused with Ghur’s own destructive animus. | ||

BATTLE DAMAGEDEffect: While this unit has 10 or more damage points, the Attacks characteristic of The Dread Mace is 4 and this unit has a Control characteristic of 10.
 Once Per Turn (Army), Any Charge Phase |
RAMPAGING DESTRUCTION: Kragnos rampages through the press of his foes, his hooves flattening all in his path.
Effect: If this unit charged this phase, pick 1 of the following effects:
- Roll a dice for each enemy unit within 1" of this unit. On a 2+, inflict an amount of mortal damage on that unit equal to the roll.
- Pick an enemy MONSTER in combat with this unit and roll 2D6. On a 7, this ability has no effect. Otherwise, inflict an amount of mortal damage on that unit equal to the results on the dice used for the 2D6 roll multiplied together. For example, a 2D6 roll of 2 and 6 would inflict 12 mortal damage (2 × 6).

THE END OF EMPIRES: Where Kragnos goes, the hordes of Destruction follow.
Effect: For the rest of the turn, add 1 to the number of dice rolled when making charge rolls for friendly DESTRUCTION units while they are wholly within 12" of this unit, to a maximum of 3.
 Reaction: Opponent declared a SPELL ability |
THE SHIELD INVIOLATE: Tuskbreaker has the power to guard Kragnos against even the most potent magical force.
Effect: If this unit was picked to be the target of that spell, roll a dice. On a 3+, ignore the effect of that spell on this unit. This unit can use this ability more than once per phase but only once per SPELL ability.
| Passive |
AVATAR OF DESTRUCTION: Kragnos is the embodiment of Ghur’s relentless ferocity. No single strike can lay him low.
Effect: If this unit would be automatically destroyed, it is not automatically destroyed. Instead, allocate 6 damage points to it (ward rolls cannot be made for those damage points).

Change the timing of the ‘End of Empires’ ability to ‘Your Charge Phase’ and the effect to:
‘Effect: For the rest of the turn, add 1 to the number of dice rolled when making charge rolls for friendly DESTRUCTION units while they are wholly within 12" of this unit, to a maximum of 3.’
‘Effect: For the rest of the turn, add 1 to the number of dice rolled when making charge rolls for friendly DESTRUCTION units while they are wholly within 12" of this unit, to a maximum of 3.’
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). | ||

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.

6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.If a rule or ability requires a target to be both within a given range of and visible to the unit using that ability, or to a model in that unit, both conditions must be met by the same model in the target. You could not, for instance, target a unit where one model is within range but not visible and another model is not in range but is visible.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||

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.
