Kharadron Overlords – Codewright
4" 5 3+ 2 There are some Kharadron who can boast an eidetic recall of the Code. These savants do not purely parrot information to their fellows, but rise through the ranks by virtue of insight, knowledge and a canny eye for the parts of their people’s constitution that allow profitable improvisation. Having memorised the Code’s every amendment, they understand its nuance better than any other. Their brains are organised like meticulous blueprints, each with its own chambers, cellars and hidden compartments corresponding to the Code’s rules and exceptions. When a new amendment is learned, the landscape of their mind changes accordingly. The crewmates of such legal wizards fight all the harder when they know their shares will rise as a result, and a Captain is always grateful for any loophole through which they can sail their vessel to a better payday.
Hefting the complex apparatus known as a ledger domain on their shoulders, the Codewright relies on his pistol in battle, though many a heavy book wielded in anger has broken an enemy’s spine in its turn. That which they lack as warriors they more than make up for in terms of judicial mastery, their Captains and Admirals making full use of every opportunity for profit they provide. | ||

6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||
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’

17.2 Mortal Damage

3.1 Regiments
Armies are made up of one or more regiments, each of which is led by a HERO. You must have at least 1 regiment in your army, and you can include a maximum of 5 regiments. To add a regiment, pick 1 HERO from your faction, then pick up to 3 non-HERO units to accompany them.Each HERO’s battle profile lists which units can be added to their regiment, and each non-HERO unit’s battle profile lists any relevant keywords it has. The battle profiles of some HEROES (such as named characters) may say that they can be added to the regiment of another HERO.
Those HEROES can join an eligible regiment as a Guild Officer.

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. | ||
