Slaves to Darkness – Flamers of Tzeentch
9" 2 5+ 1 6+ Bounding in a disturbing fashion, Flamers of Tzeentch spring towards the foe spouting the warpfires of Chaos. Yet the Changer of the Ways is fickle, and fires that have burnt out may once more leap to life, guiding even more flames to the target. | ||

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’
