Ossiarch Bonereapers – Morghast Harbingers
10" 6 4+ 2 The deathly seraphs known as Morghasts are viewed with respectful wariness even by other Bonereapers. Although they wear the colours of the legions, they are the direct embodiments of Nagash’s will and his eyes and ears within the Ossiarch Empire. The complex necromantic rites of their creation, known to involve the sacrifice of seers and wizards, are entrusted only to the most senior Mortisans. The air around a Morghast is constantly filled with the despairing mewling of lost souls, while the foul spirit-energies that suffuse their halberds and blades allow them to cleave their victims’ physical bodies and tear the metaphysical essence beneath to shreds.
Morghast Harbingers were created as agents of Nagash’s omnicidal fury, shaped and armed to annihilate those who dare defy him. They range ahead of the Ossiarch armies, flying with a swiftness that belies their size and scanning the lands beneath for worthy victims. Upon sighting such a target, they plummet like huge birds of prey, slamming into their quarry with bone-shaking force before dismembering them with fell blades. Harbingers are accustomed to obeying Nagash’s commands alone, and only a direct command from a high-ranking Liege-Kavalos or Emissarian can contain their single-minded fervour. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Crit (2 Hits)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack scores 2 hits on the target unit instead of 1. Make a wound roll for each hit.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 model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’

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.

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! | ||
