Skaven – Krittok Foulblade
6" 6 4+ 2 Canny and cruel in equal measure, Krittok Foulblade has a profound instinct for where his minions' deaths can best serve him. He also understands with a rare clarity that even meagre displays of largesse, however falsely intended, can spur a measure of loyalty from his underlings. This same cold and calculating mindset is extended by the Clawlord to his dealings with the daemon-blade Doomfang, for the raging Verminlord trapped within its steel must be bargained with constantly if its powers are to bolster Krittok's own warrior abilities | ||

BATTLE PROFILE
Unit Size: 1 Points: 140
Base size: 40mm
Can be reinforced: No
Regiment Options: 0-1 Skaven Overclaw, Any SKAVEN
 Any Combat Phase |
DOOMFANG: Though Doomfang offers the ageing Krittok martial power, he must constantly haggle with its daemonic occupant, a fact that can sometimes prove distracting.
Effect: This unit has STRIKE-FIRST for the rest of the turn but it cannot use commands this phase.
 Enemy Hero Phase |
A REPUTATION FOR CUNNING: Krittok's laboriously crafted reputation for deviousness sees his thralls obey him without question.
Effect: You can pick 2 different eligible units to use the ’Always Three Clawsteps Ahead’ ability this phase instead of 1, but at least 1 of those units must have the VERMINUS keyword.
 Passive |
FOSTER COMPETITION: Krittok has created a system in which his armoured swarms are so desperate to earn his favour that they spend only some of their time plotting his overthrow.
Effect: Add 1 to wound rolls for friendly Stormvermin units while they are wholly within 13"of this unit.

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).
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.15.3 Pile-in Moves
Some abilities, such as FIGHT abilities, allow a unit to make a short move called a pile-in move to get into a better position for combat. To do so:If your unit is in combat: Pick an enemy unit your unit is in combat with to be the target of the pile-in move. Each model in your unit can move up to 3". That move can pass through the combat ranges of any enemy units, but each model must end that move no further from the target unit. At the end of the move, your unit must still be in combat with all units that it was in combat with at the start of the move.
If your unit is not in combat: Each model in your unit can move 3" in any direction. That move can pass through and end within the combat ranges of any enemy units.

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’

If there are any STRIKE-FIRST units in combat after any non-FIGHT combat phase abilities have been used, other units cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability until those units have been picked to use a FIGHT ability. After all those STRIKE-FIRST units have fought, the active player picks the next unit to fight.If there are any STRIKE-LAST units in combat, they cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability if there are any units in combat that do not have STRIKE-LAST and have not yet used a FIGHT ability.
If a unit has STRIKE-FIRST and STRIKE-LAST, treat it as if it had neither.
| There may be situations when a unit that has STRIKE-FIRST is not in combat at the start of the phase, but because of moves such as pile-in moves, it is ‘pulled into combat’ later in the phase. In such cases, STRIKE-FIRST has no effect on that unit because it was not in combat at the start of the phase. Abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST or STRIKE-LAST constraints, so you could not pick a unit with STRIKE-LAST to fight immediately after a unit with STRIKE-FIRST. | ||
FAQ / Errata
FAQ
| Q: | Can I use an ability that allows a friendly unit that does not have STRIKE-FIRST to fight immediately after a friendly unit that has STRIKE-FIRST if there are one or more enemy units with STRIKE-FIRST that have not yet been picked to fight? |
| A: | No. As mentioned in the sidebar next to 19.0, abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST constraints, so you cannot pick a unit that does not have STRIKE-FIRST to fight until all other units that have STRIKE-FIRST have fought. |
| Q: | If a friendly unit is the only unit that has STRIKE-FIRST on the battlefield and it has an ability that allows a friendly unit to fight immediately after it, in what order would units be picked to fight? |
| A: | If you are the active player, the unit that has STRIKE-FIRST would fight first, then you could use the ability to allow another friendly unit to fight immediately after it, and then you would pick the next unit to fight (i.e. three friendly units would fight back to back). If your opponent is the active player, the unit that has STRIKE-FIRST would fight first, you could still use the ability to allow another friendly unit to fight, and then your opponent would pick the next unit to fight. |
| Q: | In the combat phase, if all eligible non-STRIKE‑LAST units have used a FIGHT ability, which player gets to pick the first STRIKE-LAST unit to fight? |
| A: | The alternating sequence of picking units to use a FIGHT ability would continue and so the player who did not pick the last non-STRIKE-LAST unit would get to pick the first eligible STRIKE-LAST unit in their army to use a FIGHT ability. |
