Skaven – Gnawhole
- 6 4+ - Gnawholes are undeniably a boon when they emerge upon a battlefield. They allow a seemingly endless stream of Skaven reinforcements to be funnelled from the depths of Blight City, and if a pack of ratmen are feeling especially brave, they might elect to plunge into one and hope to emerge from another, outflanking the enemy in the process. The unstable nature of the gnawholes, however, means that delving into them in this way often sees a Skaven accidentally blasted to ashes, unintentionally burrow through a volcano or simply vanish without a trace. | ||

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). | ||
17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
