Soulblight Gravelords – Vampire Lord
6" 5 3+ 2 The eldest and most powerful of vampires are granted fearsome powers by the Soulblight Curse: unnatural speed, resilience and strength enough to dismember foes with their bare hands. These Vampire Lords are beings of towering ego, each convinced of their innate right to dominate the living. They command vast hordes of undead chattel, sending them forth to ravage and absorb new lands into their twilight domain. Peerless duellists and cunning strategists all, they affect an aura of nobility even as their innermost impulses urge them to glut themselves on warm, fresh blood.
Vampire Lords live for the thrill of combat, moving with a quicksilver grace that allows them to dodge arrows in flight or lazily avoid half a dozen spear thrusts. They sate their hunger even amidst the thick of battle, slicing throats with ornate rapiers or smashing open ribcages with flanged maces to devour the crimson rain that sprays forth. Each mouthful seems to imbue the vampire with even greater vitality, causing wounds in their waxy flesh to reseal and further bolstering their already formidable powers of dark sorcery. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Crit (2 Hits)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack scores 2 hits on the target unit instead of 1. Make a wound roll for each hit.Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.The INFANTRY keyword is used in the following Soulblight Gravelords warscrolls:
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.
