Soulblight Gravelords – Vampire Lord on Nightmare Steed
12" 7 3+ 2 When mounted upon an undead steed known as a nightmare, a Vampire Lord carves a gory path through the enemy with each thundering charge. The beast’s ironshod hooves cave in chests and grind foes into the mud, while the undead cavalier astride it lays about themself with a blade or axe, opening throats with every blow. | ||

’FOR GLORY! FOR BLOOD!’: The Vampire Lord and their retinue of favoured knights charge into the fray, driving deep into the enemy lines.
Effect: You can re-roll the charge roll for that CHARGE ability. Then, before the charge move is made, you can pick a friendly Blood Knights unit that is not in combat, is wholly within 12" of this unit and has not used a CHARGE ability this turn to be the target. If this unit charges, then, immediately after the CHARGE ability used by this unit has been resolved, the target can immediately use the ‘Charge’ ability even if it is not your charge phase. In addition, you can re-roll charge rolls for the target this phase.

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.7.0 Combat Range

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.
