Nighthaunt – The Sternieste Garrison
•REGIMENT OF RENOWN•
The Sternieste Garrison
Mannfred von Carstein is an often unlooked-for and unwelcome presence amongst his fellow undead, for his self-serving nature is infamous. Yet the Mortarch of Night can tip the balance of an engagement, both through personal might and by leading bloodthirsty Fell Bats and the wights of his own Castle Sternieste in devious ambushes. The only question is what ulterior motive Mannfred serves by offering aid... | ||
•REGIMENT OF RENOWN•
The Sternieste Garrison
INCLUSION This Regiment of Renown can be included in armies from the following factions: | ||
 Your Hero Phase | 7 |
STALKING BLADES: The enemy’s minds are filled with doubts as to their allies’ true loyalties, which manifest as tenebrous shades that stalk among their ranks. As soon as the victims’ backs are turned, these gheists dart forth to plunge spectral daggers between the shoulders of those overcome with paranoia.
Declare: Pick the Mannfred von Carstein in this Regiment of Renown to cast this spell, pick a visible enemy unit within 12" of them to be the target, then make a casting roll of 2D6.
Effect: Inflict 1 mortal damage on the target for each other enemy unit within 3" of the target.
Effect: Inflict 1 mortal damage on the target for each other enemy unit within 3" of the target.

Effect: Each time a unit in this Regiment of Renown is set up, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that unit’s melee weapons for the rest of the turn.
 Once Per Turn (Army), Your Hero Phase |
COVER OF NIGHT: Mannfred is a master of misdirection; few can predict where his hosts will strike from next.

Effect: Remove that unit from the battlefield and set it up again more than 6" from all enemy units.
Effect: Remove that unit from the battlefield and set it up again more than 6" from all enemy units.
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.
