Kruleboyz – Kruleboyz Monsta-killaz
5" 2 5+ 1 The use of leashed beasts has always been a cornerstone of Kruleboyz warmaking. To secure these valuable but unbelievably deadly prizes, would-be beastmasters rely upon the infamous hunting bands known as Monsta-killaz. These cunning orruks relish tracking, capturing or killing the myriad monsters that populate the realms. Led by a sly Beastnob, they prowl through the wilderness laying traps and creating distractions so that they might catch a beast unawares and batter it into submission. As befits their devious kind, these orruks employ every underhanded method conceivable to render their quarry helpless, even employing wild creatures of their own, such as the aggressive simians known as Gnarlwood Howlaz.
While they specialise in hunting beasts, Monsta-killaz take great delight in ambushing rivals that interfere with their business. Many of the skills they have mastered out in the wilds can be turned against two-legged foes. Watching a Howla pull a screaming human’s arms out of their sockets is always a good laugh, as is concealing the egg clutch of a Spinecrawler amidst the scroll-cases of some pointy-eared aelven wizard and guffawing loudly as the outraged monstrosity enacts its gory revenge. | ||

| Once Per Turn, Reaction: Opponent declared a RAMPAGE ability for an enemy MONSTER within 6" of this unit |
A TOUGH GROT TO SWALLOW: The spiky-armoured Klutcha-grot is usually gobbled up by the Monsta-killaz’ prey, causing it to choke, retch and vomit up the little git. Of course, sometimes the grot just gets eaten, which the orruks find equally hilarious.
Effect: Roll a dice. On a 2+, that RAMPAGE ability has no effect. On a 1, remove this unit’s Klutcha-grot from the battlefield.

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). | ||
Crit (Mortal)

23.0 Tokens
Tokens are not considered to be models for rules purposes and can be ignored or moved out of the way for purposes of visibility, coherency or abilities. They cannot be picked as the target of abilities. Their purpose is to indicate persisting effects on units they are placed next to. Each time a unit with a token finishes a move or is set up, place the token next to the unit.
Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.3.3 Reinforced Units
When you add a unit to your army roster, you can add it as a reinforced unit. A reinforced unit has twice as many models as its minimum unit size and costs twice as many points. If a unit has a minimum unit size of 1, it cannot be reinforced.
15.3 Pile-in Moves
Some abilities, such as FIGHT abilities, allow a unit to make a short move called a pile-in move to get into a better position for combat. To do so:If your unit is in combat: Pick an enemy unit your unit is in combat with to be the target of the pile-in move. Each model in your unit can move up to 3". That move can pass through the combat ranges of any enemy units, but each model must end that move no further from the target unit. At the end of the move, your unit must still be in combat with all units that it was in combat with at the start of the move.
If your unit is not in combat: Each model in your unit can move 3" in any direction. That move can pass through and end within the combat ranges of any enemy units.

19.0 Strike-first and Strike-last
If there are any STRIKE-FIRST units in combat at the start of the phase, other units cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability until those units have been picked to use a FIGHT ability. After all those STRIKE-FIRST units have fought, the active player picks the next unit to fight.If there are any STRIKE-LAST units in combat, they cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability if there are any units in combat that do not have STRIKE-LAST and have not yet used a FIGHT ability.
If a unit has STRIKE-FIRST and STRIKE-LAST, treat it as if it had neither.
| There may be situations when a unit that has STRIKE-FIRST is not in combat at the start of the phase, but because of moves such as pile-in moves, it is ‘pulled into combat’ later in the phase. In such cases, STRIKE-FIRST has no effect on that unit because it was not in combat at the start of the phase. Abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST or STRIKE-LAST constraints, so you could not pick a unit with STRIKE-LAST to fight immediately after a unit with STRIKE-FIRST. | ||
