Gloomspite Gitz – Moonclan Shootas
5" 1 6+ 1 To the sound of clanging gongs and high-pitched squealing, the Moonclan grots emerge to cause havoc. These stunted creatures, clad in dark and grimy robes, are the vindictive heart of grot armies. When the rabid mania of the Gloomspite seizes them, they attack in a vicious tide. A grot horde pitched to the heights of frenzy will happily spend hundreds of lives to overwhelm an enemy; after all, there are always more where they came from.
Shootas wield crude shortbows and honour the Gloomspite tradition of targeting an enemy that can’t reach you. This is considered somewhat of a luxury amongst the mobs. However, only those capable of making or scavenging a bow can remain within the safety of the rearguard. Arguments often break out if one grot thinks they deserve to be shooting on the back lines more than another, and those with the crafting know-wotz have to ensure they don’t find a shiv in their back from an enterprising rival looking to start their archery career. However, bows provide little in the way of close combat protection, and should the enemy break through to the Shootas’ lines, these grots can do little but clobber them with their bows. | ||

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). | ||

32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
