Gloomspite Gitz – Snarlboss on War-Wheela
12" 9 4+ 2 The Snarlbosses of the biggest Gitmobs prefer being carried on an ostentatious War-Wheela to riding on wolfback, allowing them to concentrate on bashing the heads of the enemy rather than steering. Though all Gitmob chariots are capable of inflicting horrendous damage on the charge, those of the Snarlbosses do so in style, their paths of destruction marked by scorchmarks left by the flames that jet from the jars fitted to the back of their ride. | ||

BATTLE PROFILE
Unit Size: 1 Points: 120
Base size: 120 × 92mm
Can be reinforced: No
Regiment Options: Any GITMOB
Notes: This HERO can join an eligible regiment as a Top Dog.
 Reaction: You declared a FIGHT ability for this unit |
KEEPIN’ UP WIV DA BOSS: Sunsteala Wheela grots closely follow their boss into battle - after all, if he has an 'accident', they are in with a good chance of taking over as the new boss!
Effect: Pick a friendly Sunsteala Wheelas unit that has not used a FIGHT ability this turn and is within this unit’s combat range to be the target. The target can be picked to use a FIGHT ability immediately after the FIGHT ability used by this unit has been resolved.
 Once Per Battle (Army), Any Hero Phase |
DA GLARE OF FRAZZLEGIT: At a yell from the Snarlboss, the Wheela crews release the Hyshian light absorbed by the metal in their chariots.
Effect: For the rest of the turn:
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks made by enemy units while they are in combat with any friendly Sunsteala Wheelas.
- Add 6" to the Move characteristic of this unit and friendly Sunsteala Wheelas.
| Your Movement Phase |
FRAZZLEGIT’S FLAME STREAM: The rear of the Snarlboss’s ride is fitted with jars filled with loondust mixed with Hyshian energies. When uncorked and ignited by a torch-wielding snotling, they produce jetting flames that give the chariot a boost of speed and scorch enemies as it ploughs their ranks.
Effect: This unit can move a distance up to its Move characteristic. It can pass through other models and the combat ranges of enemy units, but it cannot end that move in combat. Then, pick up to 1 enemy INFANTRY unit that this unit passed across during that move to be the target. Inflict D6 mortal damage on the target.
Designer’s Note: This unit can use this ability even if it is in combat.

Snarlboss on War-Wheela
Remove ‘non-HERO’ from the first sentence of the effect of ‘Keepin’ Up Wiv Da Boss’.
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). | ||
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).
 Your Movement Phase |
RETREAT: The fighters disengage from combat, though at the cost of lowering their defences.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is in combat to use this ability.
Effect: Inflict D3 mortal damage on that unit. That unit can move a distance up to its Move characteristic. That unit can move through the combat ranges of any enemy units but cannot end that move within an enemy unit’s combat range.

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.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’
