Kharadron Overlords – Grundstok Thunderers
4" 2 3+ 1 The elite duardin of the Grundcorps are the best of the best when it comes to blasting apart the enemy at range, though they are more than used to taking down the enemy at close quarters if needed until they are surrounded by piles of steaming corpses. The deafening cacophony of fusillades that herald the arrival of the Grundcorps Thunderers has become their namesake. Many will compete in battle to see whose painstakingly optimised weapon can cause the most destruction.
Many are the tools available to the Grundstok Thunderers. Those that use aethershot rifles rely on burning blasts of aether to punch into the enemy. Others that wish for something bulkier but more devastating opt for an aethercannon or Grundstok mortar, capable of mangling anything short of a block of sigmarite. More still opt for more esoteric weapons – such as the decksweeper or the aetheric fumigator – that can shoot devastating blasts that leave ruin in their wake or billowing clouds of gas that choke and poison their foes respectively. | ||

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. | ||
