Skaven – Warp Lightning Vortex
- 7 6+ 7+ Warp lightning is often used for the crude but satisfying purpose of destruction, but it possesses more subtle qualities also. By hurling a clawful of warpstone shards onto the earth and rasping the necessary invocations, a Skaven sorcerer can see them grow into sizable prisms, linked by chains of crackling warp lightning. The space within these arcane chains becomes a swirling vortex of corruptive magical energy. Any trapped within this zone find their strength sapped and waning, as if dragged out by the flickering tongues of lightning. | ||

Army List
Warscrolls collated17.2 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).
18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect. Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
