Gloomspite Gitz – Snarlfang Riders
12" 2 5+ 1 Snarlfang Riders gravitate to the open plains. They do not fear Hysh’s light, unlike their Moonclan cousins. They covet above all the power of the sun, whose blazing eye they believe can kill with a look. Most other grots fear the sun’s immense power, spreading cautionary tales that personify it as the evil ‘Glareface Frazzlegit’ that burns with decimating light. Not so these wolf-riding grots, who will chase distant Hysh from horizon to horizon each day.
To this end, they have forged an alliance of convenience with the Snarlfangs, a breed of especially large and cruel lupine whose saliva is toxic in the extreme. These wolves see Hysh as the one enemy they cannot stare down, for it sears their eyesight. Thus, the ancestors of these wolves pledged to help the grots in their quest gain power over the sun.
When this deadly combination of grot and wolf catches the scent of prey, they strike with merciless glee. If the crude arrows of the grots – fired from the saddle even at high speed – do not make the kill, their crooked spears and the jaws of their mounts will when they pounce on a vulnerable foe and tear them to shreds. | ||

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. | ||
