Nighthaunt – The Sorrowmourn Choir
•REGIMENT OF RENOWN•
The Sorrowmourn Choir
Arkhan the Black is Nagash’s most loyal and long-serving servant. Though supposedly destroyed by the Light of Eltharion, there are whispers of the ancient liche and his Morghast bodyguard being spied in the far lands of the realms, exploiting or snuffing out sources of magic. | ||
•REGIMENT OF RENOWN•
The Sorrowmourn Choir
INCLUSION This Regiment of Renown can be included in armies from the following factions: | ||
 Passive |
UNHOLY SACRAMENTS: Such is Arkhan’s command of necromancy that even magic withers in his presence.
Effect: Add 1 to the number of dice rolled when making banishment rolls for the Arkhan the Black in this Regiment of Renown, to a maximum of 3.
| Your Hero Phase | 8 |
SKELETAL SPLINTERING: The magics weaved by the caster calcify the bones of their enemies, causing them to break as they try to move.
Declare: This spell can be cast by the same WIZARD more than once per phase. Pick the Arkhan the Black in this Regiment of Renown to cast this spell, pick a visible enemy unit within 18" of them that has not been picked to be the target of this spell this turn to be the target, then make a casting roll of 2D6.
Effect: Roll a number of dice equal to the number of models in the target unit. For each 5+, inflict 1 mortal damage on that unit.
Effect: Roll a number of dice equal to the number of models in the target unit. For each 5+, inflict 1 mortal damage on that unit.

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.

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.
| ||
| 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. | ||
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).
3.5 Regiments of Renown
In addition to creating your own regiments, you can also spend points to include 1 Regiment of Renown. Regiments of Renown are pre-built regiments, each with their own special abilities. The rules for each Regiment of Renown will specify which factions can include it. A unit in a Regiment of Renown cannot be your general even if it is a WARMASTER.- You cannot include more than 1 Regiment of Renown in your army unless otherwise specified in the notes column of that regiment’s battle profile.
- Units in a Regiment of Renown cannot use (but can be picked as the target of, if otherwise eligible) any faction rules from the faction they are allied into, including enhancements and lores, unless they have a keyword that matches that faction’s name.
- If an ability allows you to set up a replacement unit (Core Rules, 24.2) for a unit in a Regiment of Renown, that unit also counts as being part of that Regiment of Renown.
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.
