Seraphon – Skink Starpriest
8" 5 6+ 2 At certain astrological conjunctions, a spawning pool will produce a single skink wreathed in arcane power and marked out for a great destiny. This creature is taken under the wing of their constellation’s senior Starseers, tutored in the astromantic arts and other esoteric disciplines. Starpriests fulfil many roles in Seraphon society; they are diplomats, engineers, prophets and adjutants. Often they are seen in the presence of a Starmaster, acting as living conduits of the slann’s mystical might. Yet Starpriests also possess potent magical abilities of their own, and when conflict rears its ugly head, they gladly bring this arcane fury to bear upon the enemies of the Great Plan.
Any foe who imagines one of these diminutive creatures to be a helpless victim soon comes to regret their foolishness. Wearing a sacred feather headdress of Tepok and carrying a Serpent Staff imbued with raw celestite, a Skink Starpriest summons and wields magic with the skill of a master sorcerer. They can channel the war-god Sotek’s potent essence through their serpentine stave, causing the weapons of their fellow Seraphon to seep deadly toxins. | ||

If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.The BEAST keyword is used in the following Seraphon warscrolls:

The battle profiles of some HEROES (such as named characters) may say that they can be added to the regiment of another HERO.

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). | ||
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. | ||
