Seraphon – Terradon Chief
14" 5 5+ 2 Airborne daredevils chosen by the sky-god known as the Great Coatl to dominate the skies, Terradon Chiefs ride their flying companions into battle with breathtaking boldness, scything through their foes and leaving blood and disorientation in their wake. These are amongst the largest and most martial of all skinks, marked out by their imposing bone war-masks and a skyblade of refined celestite that can carve through a Steam Tank’s hull. They are granted free rein to lead winged cohorts of fellow Terradon Riders into battle, carrying out swift and agile offensives beyond those of their more stolid and single-minded saurus kin.
Skink Chiefs prize Terradons due to their remarkable speed, which allows them to reach any corner of the battlefield in the blink of an eye. Their favoured tactic is to urge the creatures high into the sky and then swoop down in a sheer, vertical dive, urging their beasts to release the orbs of meteoric rock they clutch in their talons. Often masked by the glare of Hysh, this air strike comes so quickly that enemies do not even notice their peril until the murderous missiles start crashing down amidst their ranks, crushing skulls and bursting apart in a lethal spray of stone shrapnel. | ||

If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail.

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’
