Lumineth Realm-lords – Vanari Dawnriders
14" 3 3+ 1 Dawnriders are the vanguard of a Vanari warhost. The charge of one of their echelons is as a spear punching into the foe. Theirs is the task of carving open a battleline for the Lord Regents to exploit, and they draw upon aetherquartz to grant greater speed and power as their lances strike home. Dawnriders adhere to schools of mounted combat that emphasise the swift slice, riding in close formation so the power of their sunmetal lances is concentrated into a single scouring impact. Tales abound of Dawnriders trampling through hordes that outnumber them ten times over, the burning light magic that surrounds their charge scorching enemies to cinders.
These cavalrymen forge incredibly close bonds with their steeds. The stallions ridden by the Dawnriders are thoroughbreds from the wide plains of Xintil, independent creatures possessed of greater intellect than their equine peers. They are not broken in conventionally; instead, they choose to stand alongside aelves they deem worthy, which ensures that both aelf and steed possess a keen instinct for the other’s intentions. They navigate together, the stallion charging fiercely into the fray while its Dawnrider wields lance and blade to clear the path forward. | ||

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)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.Universal Core Abilities - Charge Phase

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).
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. | ||
