Seraphon – Raptadon Chargers
12" 3 5+ 1 Seen as glorious paladins of Tepok, the Raptadon Chargers are storied heroes amongst the skinks for they are bold enough to meet the enemy head on in a crashing onslaught of light and fury. Spawned under asterisms sacred to the wisest of Old Ones, these armour-clad riders have the honour of wielding relic weapons taken from temple vaults, such as lances that emit blinding bursts of radiance upon activation, incinerating flesh even as the diamond hard tip of the weapon rams through armour, flesh and bone.
Raptadon Chargers typically fight in tandem with their Hunter peers in a one-two combination that few enemies have an answer to. First, the Raptadon Hunters surge forwards on the flanks of the foe’s position, raking them with pinpoint volleys of deadly missiles and causing chaos in their ranks. When the enemy staggers forth in a vain attempt to engage their persecutors, the Chargers emerge, racing to engage in a spearhead formation. They ride into battle at blistering speed, their lances spitting deadly bolts of energy and their mounts shrieking in anticipation of the kill. When they strike home, the results are as spectacular as they are bloody. | ||

Companion
Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
