Slaves to Darkness – Darkoath Savagers
5" 1 5+ 1 Screaming blood-curdling vows to the Ruinous Powers, the Darkoath Savagers have travelled far and wide in their quest for renown. Battling alongside their tribal kin is no longer sufficient to amass the glory they crave; the Savagers’ hunger for prestige has driven them far from their hearth and onto the first true steps on the Path to Glory. They intend to carve out a place for themselves in the greatest Chaos hosts, and many warbands have travelled to the Eightpoints to offer their blades at the foot of the Everchosen’s throne.
Though they have their own champions, each Savager warband will ultimately mass around the Godspeakers, those tribal elders who have been granted a degree of prophetic powers by the Dark Gods. It is these seers who interpret the whims of the Chaos Pantheon, which often involve the capture and desecration of sites of particular arcane power. The Savagers fear failing in these vows to the gods far more than the blade of any foe. They will fight beyond the point of mortal injury to claim such ground, knowing that their deities look favourably on those who battle without fear and scorn any who show a hint of hesitation. | ||

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). | ||
32.1 Contesting Objectives
Unless otherwise specified, if an objective is within a model’s combat range, that model is contesting that objective. If any models in a unit are contesting an objective, that unit is contesting that objective.Each unit can only count as contesting a single objective for the purposes of determining objective control (see 32.2). Before determining objective control, for each of their units contesting two or more objectives, the active player must pick one of those objectives for it to contest. Then, their opponent does the same.
Designer’s Note: For purposes other than determining objective control, a unit can contest more than one objective.
