8" 1 4+ 1 Beneath banners fluttering in an ethereal wind, the Craventhrone Guard rain down killing bolts. In life as in death, these murderous spirits served at the behest of Kurdoss Valentian. Their ranks were filled with those low-born peasants possessing a keen eye and finely tuned lack of morals. Many times did King Kurdoss bid them stalk worthy foes in the night, slaying their targets in hails of crossbow bolts or hacking their heads off to place before his throne. But as Valentian was cursed, so were his favoured killers.
The Craventhrone Guard are potent sharpshooters, their projectiles agonisingly drawn from their own essence. Their bolts always seem to find their targets, manifesting in flashes of spectral energy to strike down unsuspecting enemies. This is often to the disadvantage of their master who, denied the chance to rule, takes satisfaction only from combat. Though they loathe him for dragging them into a nightmare, they are forced to obey Valentian in every other respect. Because of this, the Craventhrone Guard take a mocking satisfaction in striking down their targets mere seconds before the Craven King can crush them beneath his heavy mace. | ||

When moving flying units, move them horizontally in any direction, ignoring intervening models and terrain, and place them where you wish, so long as they are allowed to end their move on that spot. Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
