Soulblight Gravelords – Gorslav the Gravekeeper
5" 6 6+ 2 The gaunt and towering creature known as Gorslav once tended the crypts and charnel pits of the Ulfenkarn corpse-gardens, feeding these cursed places with fresh souls by the hundred in order to satiate their malevolent sentience. Silently, the Gravekeeper toiled away in his unhallowed domain, ignoring the screaming terror of his victims as he buried them alive beneath mounds of cold grave-soil. Few know the true origin of this macabre entity. Some say that he was once a mortal – a giant of a man who spent so many long years walking the death-permeated grounds of Ulfenkarn that he himself became a monster. Others swear that Gorslav is not one being but that there are in fact dozens of Gravekeepers, all part of some gruesome order of necrotheurges.
Certainly, he possesses some necromantic power, as he calls upon the winds of death to bring shambling hordes of Deadwalkers to unlife or to stitch up gaping wounds in his rotten, pockmarked flesh. Whatever he once was, Gorslav now seems to possess no emotions or passions; he exists only to serve Radukar and his Vyrkos kin. This he does with relentless brutality, wielding his gravekeeper’s spade with unnatural strength to hack his victims apart. | ||

18.3 Slain Models
The commander of a unit must pick which model(s) in the unit are slain. However, after each slain model is removed, the unit must be in a single coherent group (see 15.1). If this is not possible, continue to remove models, one at a time, until the unit is in a single coherent group. You must remove the fewest models possible to make the unit a single coherent group.
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’
