Slaves to Darkness – Soul Grinder
10" 16 4+ 5 Deep within the phantasmagorical nightmare-scapes of the Realm of Chaos lies the Forge of Souls. It is a domain of clanking cogs and blazing essence-forges in which the arms and armaments of the greatest champions of Chaos are crafted. Sometimes, when a daemon is banished in an especially humiliating fashion, their bitterness will lead them to seek the insane overseers of the Forge. To these seekers is offered a bargain: an opportunity to re-enter the Mortal Realms far sooner than the terms of banishment typically allows in exchange for paying a tithe of souls to the forgemasters. Daemons who accept these stipulations are transformed; their essence is sealed into frames of hellforged, piston-driven iron, while their limbs sprout blazing cannons and other infernal weaponry. They become Soul Grinders, fusions of metal and raw Chaotic energy, unleashed upon the hapless realms.
Soul Grinders are formidable engines of destruction, capable of scything down ranks of lesser troops either from afar or in the midst of a melee. Ultimately, however, they are doomed to an eternity of servitude. The masters of the Forge are forever shifting their quotas and recalculating the souls that must be claimed, ensuring that those who have become their immortal instruments can never escape the pact they so foolishly made. | ||

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). | ||

Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).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.
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).
