Soulblight Gravelords – The Sons of Velmorn
4" 2 3+ 1 6+ When the Ghurish city of Sentarion was swallowed by the Gnarlwood, King Velmorn sought to defeat the monstrous trees using the Tyrant’s Crown. Yet the sorcerous relic cursed him to a hateful unlife, though his will remains formidable. When Velmorn placed the Tyrant’s Crown upon his head, his loyal sons were slain by a surge of death magic and resurrected as wights. Filled with bitterness, they are nevertheless bound to serve their father for all eternity. | ||

15.1 Coherency
Any time a unit is set up or ends a move, it must be in a single group. A unit is considered to be in a coherent group if each model in that unit is within coherency range, measured horizontally, of at least 1 other model in that unit (ignore differences in height between the two models).For the majority of units, coherency range is 1/2", though some units (particularly those with large models with overhanging parts) have a longer coherency range noted on their warscroll for ease of play. While there are 7 or more models in a unit, that unit is considered to be in a coherent group if each model in that unit is within coherency range of at least 2 other models in that unit.
If it is not possible for a unit to end a move in a single coherent group, that move cannot be made.

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.FAQ / Errata

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.

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.

3.3 Reinforced Units
When you add a unit to your army roster, you can add it as a reinforced unit. A reinforced unit has twice as many models as its minimum unit size and costs twice as many points. If a unit has a minimum unit size of 1, it cannot be reinforced. In addition, some units with a unit size of more than 1 can not be reinforced. This will be noted on their battle profile.
