From atop macabre conveyances known as Bloodseeker Palanquins, the Sanguinarchs refine the art of blood-blending. In battle, they violently exsanguinate worthy champions, using their ichor in crimson concoctions to invigorate their vampiric kin.

BATTALIONS: This warscroll can be used in the following warscroll battalions:
•
Red Banqueters
WIZARD: This unit can attempt to
cast 1
spell in your
hero phase and attempt to
unbind 1 spell in the enemy hero phase.
MOUNT: This unit’s spectral host is armed with Spectral Claws and Blades.
The Hunger: Those who bear the Soulblight curse constantly crave blood and are empowered by feasting upon their foes.
Each time this unit fights, after all of its attacks have been resolved, you can
heal up to a number of wounds allocated to this unit equal to the number of wounds and
mortal wounds caused by those attacks that were allocated to enemy units (to a maximum of 6).
A Promising Concoction: Sanguinarchs are obsessed with crafting the finest ichorous blends and can further refine such rich pickings to bolster the strength of both themselves and their lackeys.
The first time an enemy
HERO is slain by an attack made by this unit, for the rest of the battle, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons used by friendly
VAMPIRE units while they are wholly within 12" of this unit, and you can carry out 2 different
heroic actions with this unit at the start of the
hero phase instead of 1.
Wail of the Damned: Unnerving howls follow this carriage wherever it roams. Should an enemy get close enough, the spectral host unleashes a deafening wail that tears the soul apart.
In your
shooting phase, roll a dice for each enemy unit within range of this unit’s Wail of the Damned ability. The range of this unit’s Wail of the Damned ability is shown on its
damage table. On a 4+, that unit suffers D3
mortal wounds.
Blood Siphon: With a contemptuous gesture, the Sanguinarch calls forth a torrent of blood from their victim’s eyes, nose and mouth.
Blood Siphon is a spell that has a
casting value of 6 and a range of 12". If successfully cast, pick 1 enemy
HERO within range and visible to the caster, and roll a dice. On a 1-2, the target suffers 1
mortal wound. On a 3-4, the target suffers D3 mortal wounds. On a 5-6, the target suffers D6 mortal wounds.
