Soulblight Gravelords – Scourge of Ghyran Corpse Cart
4" 7 6+ 2 6+ Trundling wagons piled with corpses dredged up from the Ghyranite swamps, Corpse Carts act as lodestones for deathly magic. They are driven by Corpsemasters skilled in the arts of necromancy, gaunt figures whose cursed goads drive the risen dead onwards with uncanny focus, driving them into the enemy in a mass of rotten, grasping limbs. | ||

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.

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.
