Kharadron Overlords – Arkanaut Admiral
4" 6 3+ 2 The Admirals of the airfleets are courageous figures with stout hearts and unbending willpower. It is by the wit and the word of each Admiral that their crew prospers or flounders – but more than that, when out in the realms’ wild skies, it is the difference between life and death.
Admirals are at the bleeding edge of the fierce meritocracy of Kharadron society. Each works their way up from the ranks of the Arkanauts to the position of Captain through sheer consistent excellence, and then they have to pass a stringent examination before the Admirals Council before taking their vaunted rank. Their knowledge is far from purely theoretical, as any who have seen them swinging their skalfhammers will attest – powered by their backpack-mounted generators, these weapons can crack a ship’s hull with ease. Should the Admiral thrive by balancing the right amount of daring with enough hard won wisdom, they will accrue more and more shares. Should they fall behind, they might find themselves having to sell off their assets and even their ships. This tends to lend each Admiral a serious gravitas; in matters of war and trade alike, they are cold as stone and unyielding as titanium. | ||

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). | ||
Shooting attacks
Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).Shoot in Combat

The battle profiles of some HEROES (such as named characters) may say that they can be added to the regiment of another HERO.

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. | ||
