Soulblight Gravelords – Revenant Draconith
12" 16 5+ 5 6+ Creatures both tragic and horrifying, the Revenant Draconith are titans from another age, raised from death by the foulest necromantic rituals. They still possess the strength of Dracothion’s true spawn, but all nobility has been scoured from them. They now exist only to kill, and at this there are few beings in existence more proficient. Descending from the skies like the image of death itself, they fall upon their prey spewing gouts of flesh-melting gas and shredding mortal flesh with claws and teeth. | ||

Companion
Unless otherwise specified, attacks made by this weapon are not affected by friendly abilities that modify hit rolls, wound rolls or weapon characteristics, except for those that apply negative modifiers (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.

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.

This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
