Lumineth Realm-lords
The Lumineth are often mistaken for angelic beings of pure light, for they glow with the glorious power of Hysh. Their incredible intellects were once turned to the pursuits of art, magic and philosophy, but now they are attuned to the business of war. To fight them is to battle not only the aelven warhosts but the Realm of Light itself.
This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Lumineth Realm-lords miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting faction rules to a range of warscrolls. The rules are split into the following sections:Books

Designers’ Commentary
Battletome: Lumineth Realm-lords
| Q: | When I depict Varinor, Rune of Strength on my battle scripture, are the bonuses to run rolls and charge rolls based on the number of targets? For instance, if I have 2 depictions of Varinor on my battle scripture, and I pick 4 targets, do they each get +4 to run rolls and +4 to charge rolls? |
| A: | No. Add 1 to run rolls and add 1 to charge rolls for each target. |
| Q: | Can I make an unbinding roll before deciding whether to use the ‘Release Arcane Charge’ ability? |
| A: | Only if the unbinding roll is in the declare step of the ability being reacted to. If the unbinding roll is in the effect step, for example in the ‘Unbind’ ability, you must declare that you are using the ‘Release Arcane Charge’ ability before making the unbinding roll. |
| Q: | 1) If Lyrior Uthralle has STRIKE-FIRST (e.g. from the ‘Focused Fury’ ability) and I am using the Warhost of Duality battle formation, can I pick another unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after Lyrior has used a FIGHT ability because of the ‘Strike as One’ ability? And 2) If there are no other units with STRIKE-FIRST and it is my turn to pick the first unit to fight in the combat phase, can I then pick 2 other eligible friendly units to use a FIGHT ability? |
| A: | 1) Yes, as long as there are no other units that have STRIKE-FIRST, or if the second unit picked to use a FIGHT ability also has STRIKE-FIRST. 2) Yes. |

Heirlooms of Hysh
HERO only| Passive |

SILVER WAND: This slender wand, unassuming in its delicate grace and simplicity, is covered with finely engraved, winding Lumineth runes.

| The Anvil of Apotheosis is a hero creator. Using the rules in this section, you can create a custom warscroll for a Hero to use in your Path to Glory campaign. Th is can represent any miniature of your choosing, including one you have lovingly kitbashed or converted. After the Anvil of Apotheosis, you will find 2 Paths for Lumineth Realm-lords units. These follow the rules outlined for Paths in the Path to Glory battlepack you are using (e.g. Path to Glory: Blighted Wilds). | ||
Step 1 - Set a Destiny Point Limit
The Anvil of Apotheosis uses a currency called destiny points. First, you need to set a destiny point limit. This will determine how many destiny points you have to spend on your hero, what type of hero they will be and what their battle profile points cost will be.Pick 1 of the following:

ELEMENTAL FOCUS: This hero has a deep connection with one of the elements of the Hysh- Mhensa and its corresponding rune. If this unit is HURAKAN, replace each rune on your battle scripture with Oreali, Rune of the Wind. If this unit is YDRILAN, replace each rune on your battle scripture with Ydriliqi, Rune of the River. If this unit is SCINARI or VANARI, pick 1 of the runes above and replace each rune on your battle scripture with that rune.

MAGICAL APTITUDE: Either having studied the arcane arts for decades - even centuries - or possessed of innate arcane ability, weaving spells is as natural to this hero as breathing.

Flaws
INTRANSIGENT PRIDE: This hero will never flee from a fight, even when doing so would be the most tactically sound choice.
ARCANE SENSITIVITY: Due to a past spellcasting accident or some quirk of their soul, magic behaves unpredictablv around this hero.

COURAGEOUS RESOLVE: Once these warriors have committed to holding ground, there are few who can match their bold determination.
REALMSHIFT: Whether by a memorised minor spell of travel or the aid of nearby realm spirits, these warriors are able to reposition with sudden speed regardless of obstacles.
UNSHAKEABLE FOCUS: Even in the midst of a confused melee, little can distract these warriors in their attempts to slay their opponents.
BALANCED MANOEUVRES: The ebb and flow of the currents, the rise and fall of the hammer: these warriors have long studied the art of the force applied and then denied.
ARTISAN ARMOUR: Such is the outstanding calibre of these warriors that their commander commissioned for them armour of the highest calibre.
BLINDING BRILLIANCE: From a distance, these warriors appear as a shimmering aurora, making it difficult for enemy missile troops to target them with any precision.
SWORN DEFENDERS: Perhaps these warriors are aelementiri sworn to guard their patron spirit, or perhaps they are the bodyguard of a renowned mage. Whatever the case, their comrades are truly blessed to benefit from their selflessness and skill. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SPEARHEAD
Hurakan Vanguard
Buoyed aloft by the vigour of the wind, the Hurakan Vanguard protect the borders of Lumineth territory with the swiftness of a speeding zephyr. Through their bond with the air, these devoted warriors of Hysh fight within the heart of a hurricane. Its powerful currents carry the aelves and lend their arrows greater strength, while enemies caught within the swirling tumult are completely outmanoeuvred and picked apart.
Led by a Windmage, who buffets foes with churning vortices and marshals the gusts to redeploy their warriors, this force is highly mobile. Cavalry in the form of fleet Windchargers can cover every inch of the battlefield while loosing lethal volleys from their bows. Through careful petitions, these temple disciples are joined by a capricious Spirit of the Wind, whose deadly shafts provide the power to counter large or heavily armoured threats. Once the enemy is reeling from the elemental onslaught, Auralan Wardens lay claim to objectives with determined resilience. Though slower than their Hurakan allies, these pike-wielding aelves are capable defenders whose task is to hold the line amidst the cyclone.

The Wardens’ strength is built upon unity of purpose and a discipline that only those as long-lived as the aelves can hope to master.

Glittering Phalanx
The culture of the Lumineth enshrines subtlety and precision over overwhelming force. While the aelves of Hysh can muster truly vast warhosts when necessity demands, this is seen as a needless and crass expenditure of lives. Far better, they believe, to send small phalanxes of warriors to those places where their skills can have the greatest impact – be that eradicating some troublesome warband or burning a great white-flame rune of arcane purification into the earth at a key nexus.
Auralan Wardens, armed with pikes of burning sunmetal, are the rock against which enemies break; they do not fulfil this duty through crude and bloody-minded endurance but rather by drawing upon the energies of aetherquartz to speed pre-emptive strikes. Auralan Sentinels loose swift arrows, bleeding the foe by precise degrees. Incautious usage of aetherquartz has led to disaster in the past, and so each of these shining formations will be accompanied by a single mote of darkness – a Scinari Cathallar, skilled in turning the negative emotions stored within aetherquartz against the enemy. Cathallars are protected at all times by the war-sages of the Bladelords, each willing to give their life for the good of the realms.

6" 5 6+ 2 It is the noble duty of a Scinari Cathallar to take the spiritual anguish locked within spent aetherquartz and redirect it against their enemies. They are the lone point of darkness in the brilliance of a Lumineth line, capable of wielding despair itself as a weapon. The burdens of a Cathallar forever mark them out from their fellows, for the Lumineth are a people who shun emotion where possible. It is a task that the Cathallars accept without complaint; few know better than they the dangers of using aetherquartz unchecked. | ||

6" 2 4+ 1 Bladelords are amongst the most elite Lumineth warriors. Each has formed a deep connection with the essence of their weapon and views combat as a series of elegant and artful equations. To kill with the perfectly calculated cut or degree of force is seen as the greatest of virtues – not out of a sense of ego or self-aggrandisement, they say, but because it brings them closer to true enlightenment. Bladelords serve as guardians to the mages of the Scinari, souls who share their quest for mental perfection and will give their lives in service of their honoured charges. | ||

These phalanxes of skilled aelven warriors embody the Tyrionic traditions of their people; they do not flinch in the face of danger, nor do they hesitate to wield their pikes to impale oncoming enemies. The Wardens’ strength is built upon unity of purpose and a discipline that only those as long-lived as the aelves can hope to master.

6" 1 5+ 1 The bow is considered a noble weapon in Lumineth society, for the ability to send an arrow soaring through the radiant skies appeals greatly to aelven sensibilities – as does avoiding the need to close with their base adversaries. Sentinels are the archers of the Vanari, each having trained until they can shoot a foe through the eye from great distance. Their bows use a complex series of strings that allow them to moderate range and power, and their armour shines with the power of Hysh, capable of temporarily blinding any foes who weather their storm of sunmetal tipped arrows. | ||

17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
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.

Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Combat attacks
Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.Varinor, Rune of Strength
|
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.If a rule or ability requires a target to be both within a given range of and visible to the unit using that ability, or to a model in that unit, both conditions must be met by the same model in the target. You could not, for instance, target a unit where one model is within range but not visible and another model is not in range but is visible.
| ||
| 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. | ||
18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect.| Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
2.0 Spells
The declare step of each spell will tell you to make a casting roll of 2D6. If the roll does not equal or exceed the spell’s casting value (at the top-right corner of the spell), the spell fails and its effect is not resolved.If the unmodified casting roll includes 2 or more rolls of 1, the spell is miscast: the spell fails, its effect is not resolved, D3 mortal damage is inflicted on the WIZARD that used it, and that WIZARD cannot use any more spells in that phase.
Enemy reactions can only be used if the casting roll equals or exceeds the spell’s casting value. So long as the spell is not unbound (see 4.0), then it is successfully cast: resolve its effect.
EXAMPLE SPELL
| Your Hero Phase | 6 |
MYSTIC SHIELD: The caster's allies are bathed in an unearthly glow that protects them from harm.
Declare: Pick a visible friendly unit wholly within 12" of this WIZARD to be the target. Then, make a casting roll of 2D6.

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 after any non-FIGHT combat phase abilities have been used, 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. | ||
2.1 Battle Formations
Many factions contain one or more battle formations. Each battle formation grants unique benefits to your army. The faction rules for your faction will explain any battle formation options.
13.1 Fight Abilities
Abilities with the FIGHT keyword follow a different sequence to other abilities. When the players are using Combat Phase
abilities as described in 13.0, they cannot use FIGHT abilities.After the players have finished using
Combat Phase
abilities that are not FIGHT abilities, they must alternate picking 1 eligible unit to use a FIGHT ability, starting with the active player. Each unit in combat must use a FIGHT ability if it is able to.Once a player has no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, the other player continues to pick units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, one after another, until there are no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability.
| ||
| Passive |
STRIKE AS ONE: Symmetry is fundamental to aelven nature and culture. These warriors exemplify the concept, fighting in awe-inspiring synchrony.
Effect: When players are alternating picking units to use a FIGHT ability, when it is your turn to pick a unit, you can pick 2 friendly LUMINETH REALM-LORDS units instead of 1. Resolve the second FIGHT ability immediately after the first.
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.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). | ||
32.2 Objective Control
In the deployment phase after all Deployment Phase abilities have been used 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. | ||
| End of Any Turn | 1 |
POWER THROUGH: The warriors use their sheer mass or resilience to drive through a group of weaker foes, leaving broken bodies in their wake.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that charged this turn to use this ability, then you must pick an enemy unit in combat with it to be the target. The target must have a lower Health characteristic than the unit using this ability.
Effect: Inflict D3 mortal damage on the target. Then, the unit using this ability can move a distance up to its Move characteristic. It can pass through and end that move within the combat ranges of enemy units that were in combat with it at the start of the move, but not those of other enemy units. It does not have to end the move in combat.

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.

24.2 Replacement Units
Some abilities allow you to set up a replacement unit. When setting up that unit, it should have the same warscroll type, weapon options and number of models as the original unit, unless otherwise specified in the ability. Many of these abilities specify the proportion of models in the replacement unit (e.g. half the number of models from the original unit). In these cases, you can pick which models from the original unit are set up.The replacement unit is otherwise treated as a new unit; any keywords or abilities the original unit gained during the battle, and any persisting effects that applied to it, do not apply to the replacement unit. Each unit can only be replaced once, and you cannot replace replacement units.
If the original unit was reinforced and the replacement unit has more than half the number of models from the original unit, the replacement unit is considered to be reinforced.
| Because a replacement unit is treated as a completely new unit, it could, for instance, use a Once Per Battle ability on its warscroll even if the unit it replaced used that ability earlier in the battle. | ||

When the last model in a unit is slain, the unit is destroyed and all remaining damage points inflicted on that unit have no effect. Similarly, if something causes a unit to be destroyed, all models in the unit are slain and removed from play.
16.0 Picking Targets
When declaring an ATTACK ability for a unit, you must pick the target unit(s) for its attacks. The number of attacks each model can make is equal to the Attacks characteristic of the weapons it is using. In most cases, models attack with every weapon on their warscroll (melee weapons for combat attacks, ranged weapons for shooting attacks), though some warscrolls specify that certain models in the unit are armed with special weapons or that the unit must pick between multiple weapons when it attacks.If the unit is in combat, it can only target units that are in combat with it. If a model has more than one attack, you can split the attacks between eligible targets as you wish.
- Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.
- 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).
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.

7.0 Manifestations
There are two types of manifestation: endless spells, which can be summoned by WIZARDS, and invocations, which can be summoned by PRIESTS. Each manifestation has its own warscroll, and the spell or prayer that allows that manifestation to be summoned will be found in the appropriate manifestation lore. No more than 1 friendly WIZARD or PRIEST can attempt to summon the same manifestation per turn, and a friendly WIZARD or PRIEST cannot attempt to summon a friendly manifestation that was removed from play in the same turn. Manifestations are not units but can be interacted with in similar ways, as explained next:

A WIZARD or PRIEST’s power level determines the number of SPELL, PRAYER or BANISH abilities they can use per phase, in any combination. For example, a WIZARD (2) unit could use 1 SPELL and 1 BANISH ability in their commander’s hero phase.

FLY: Soaring above the battlefield, this unit can reach destinations that are inaccessible to other troops.
Effect: As this unit moves, it ignores other models, terrain features and the combat ranges of enemy units. It cannot end its move in combat unless specified in the ability that allowed it to move. Ignore any vertical distance moved for this unit.
Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.Banish Manifestation
| Your Hero Phase |
BANISH MANIFESTATION: The arcane forces sustaining a manifestation are disrupted.
Declare: Pick a friendly WIZARD or PRIEST to use this ability, pick a MANIFESTATION within 30" of them that was not summoned this turn to be the target, then make a banishment roll of 2D6. Add 1 to the banishment roll for each additional enemy MANIFESTATION on the battlefield after the first. You cannot pick the same MANIFESTATION to be the target of this ability more than once per turn.
Effect: If the banishment roll equals or exceeds the banishment value listed on the MANIFESTATION’s warscroll, it is banished and removed from play.

18.2 Allocating Damage
After resolving the effect of any ability that inflicts damage points (whether via attacks, mortal damage or both), you must allocate the damage points.When allocating damage points to a unit, the damage points in its damage pool are allocated to it one at a time. Each time the number of damage points allocated to the unit equals the Health characteristic of that unit, 1 model in that unit is slain (and removed from play) and the number of damage points allocated to that unit is reset to 0. Keep allocating damage points until there are none left in the damage pool.
If the number of damage points allocated to a unit is not enough to slay a model, keep track of the number of damage points currently allocated to the unit (most players place a dice or markers next to the unit). While a unit has any damage points allocated to it, it is damaged.

LIGHTNING REACTIONS: Lumineth possess a natural alacrity beyond that of most rivals.
Effect: When players are alternating picking units to use a FIGHT ability, when it is your turn to pick a unit, you can pick 2 units instead of 1. Resolve the second FIGHT ability immediately after the first.
