The soul-hungering Shyish Reaper is the ultimate manifestation of finality and death. This is no lingering premonition of far-off doom but a screaming scytheblade that arcs towards its victims with terrifying speed, hewing through their physical form and spirit alike. Summoned into being by Nighthaunt spellcasters to harvest their living prey in the swiftest and most brutal manner, Shyish Reapers possess a malignant sentience and a hunger for soul-matter that sees them swing straight for the greatest concentrations of mortalkind. When they strike home, the results are horrendous to behold. Armour counts for naught in the face of such a weapon, which is shaped from the purest energies of death. Moreover, a Shyish Reaper can strike from any angle at any time, sometimes emerging beneath a targeted formation of warriors to slice upwards through them. As the bisected bodies of its victims collapse, their souls are torn loose and sent screaming into the underworlds, there to be judged and punished at the Great Necromancer’s leisure.

KEYWORDS

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.

  • A unit’s combat range extends 3" out from every model in that unit.
  • If any enemy models are within a unit’s combat range and visible to it, that unit is in combat.
15.4 Flying
Units with the FLY keyword have the following passive ability:

Passive
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.


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!
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.

Universal Core Abilities - Charge Phase
Your Charge Phase
CHARGE: With a mighty battle cry, the warriors charge into combat with the enemy.

Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is not in combat and has not used a RUN or RETREAT ability this turn to use this ability. Then, make a charge roll of 2D6.

Effect: That unit can move a distance up to the value of the charge roll. That unit can move through the combat ranges of any enemy units and must end that move within 1/2" of a visible enemy unit. If it does so, the unit using this ability has charged.

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 considered to be units, with the following exceptions:
  • They are treated as if they were units for the purposes of movement, combat range, being in combat and setting up other units. Units can finish a charge move within 1/2" of an enemy manifestation as if it were a unit.
  • If they have any melee or ranged weapons, they can use the ‘Fight’ and ‘ShootCORE abilities as if they were units.
  • If they have a Move characteristic greater than 0" (‘-’), they can use CORE MOVE abilities as if they were units.
  • They can be picked as targets of enemy abilities as if they were units. They are not affected by enemy abilities that do not involve picking targets.
  • Damage points can be inflicted on them as if they were units and they can be destroyed.
  • Manifestations that have a Move characteristic of 0" (‘-’) cannot move. For the purposes of movement, combat range, being in combat and setting up other units, they are only treated as if they were units in the combat phase. Units can finish a charge move within 1/2" of an enemy manifestation that has a Move characteristic of 0" (‘-’) instead of within 1/2" of an enemy unit.
  • Models can move through manifestations but cannot end a move on them.
