4" 6 4+ 2 The Ashen are the priests of Hashut charged with maintaining his mysteries and performing grim sacrifices in his name. The most wrathful of their consistories are revered as Elders.

 End of Your Turn |
EXTRACT POWER: The hateful chanting of Hashut’s priesthood rips energy from the realms.

STOKED FANATICISM: Better to endure grievous wounds unflinching, so say the Zharrdron, than falter under the gaze of Hashut’s hateful priests.
Effect: Ignore the first damage point allocated to each friendly non-HOBGROT HELSMITHS OF HASHUT unit each phase while it is wholly within 6" of this unit. Add 6" to the range of this ability for each daemonic power point this unit 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). | ||

32.1 Contesting Objectives
Unless otherwise specified, if an objective is within a model’s combat range, that model is contesting that objective. If any models in a unit are contesting an objective, that unit is contesting that objective.Each unit can only count as contesting a single objective for the purposes of determining objective control (see 32.2). Before determining objective control, for each of their units contesting two or more objectives, the active player must pick one of those objectives for it to contest. Then, their opponent does the same.
Designer’s Note: For purposes other than determining objective control, a unit can contest more than one objective.
