Skaven – Verminlord Warbringer
10" 13 4+ 5 Warbringers are the most commonly seen of the Verminlord broods. They embody the Great Horned Rat's desire for carnage, his hunger to sweep away all that stands proud and replace it with shattered ruins through which rodents swarm. Arrogant, belligerent and territorial, Warbringers are often found dominating the Clans Verminus, who share much of their bloodthirsty world view. This stewardship, however, resembles less a protective guardian spirit and more a fell-handed tyrant bidding their screeching minions to fight with ever greater ferocity - or else face their inevitably fatal judgement. | ||

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).
