Skaven – Verminlord Deceiver
10" 13 4+ 5 Verminlord Deceivers are the least seen of all their daemonic brood. They are the hidden paw and favoured assassins of the Great Horned Rat, utterly one with shadow. Even the Nightlords of the Clans Eshin may struggle to detect such a daemon's presence, save for red eyes flashing in the darkness and a susurrus of whispers slipping from empty caverns. These are deliberate ploys by the Deceivers, masters of illusory concealment and teleportation magics. If they truly do not wish to be perceived, only the most incisive observer can hope to detect them. | ||

Army List
Warscrolls collated7.0 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.

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). | ||
Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.Crit (Auto-wound)
