8" 2 6+ 1 5+ Pyregheists are malevolent spectres obsessed with committing the living to the flames. They represent Nagash’s judgement at its most twisted, for each was in life an embalmer or cremator who sought to preserve the souls of mortals from the Great Necromancer. There can be no greater crime in Nagash’s eyes, and thus he transformed these holy men and women into pyromaniac nightmares. | ||

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.
