Skaven – Deathmaster
7" 5 5+ 2 6+ Deathmasters are singularly adept killers, the pride of the Clans Eshin. A significant part of their training centres around suppressing the naturally self interested Skaven mindset and honing the ability to set aside their own ambitions for the sake of the mission – at least, so much as any ratman can. Skulking unseen, Deathmasters wait for their target to let down their guard before striking with great acrobatic ferocity, wielding an array of esoteric weapons such as warpstone throwing stars and weeping blades, which can kill with the lightest scratch. Trying to land a hit on a Deathmaster is like trying to strike darkness – and when their kill is made, they vanish into the gathering gloom like a wraith. | ||

KEYWORDS | HERO, INFANTRY, WARD (6+) |
Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.Army List
Warscrolls collatedHit 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). | ||
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.
