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. | ||

Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).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). | ||

| 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! | ||
