Soulblight Gravelords – Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon
12" 16 3+ 5 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.
Many vampires revere the dragon as a symbol of power, believing that it reflects their own status as an alpha predator. The proudest undead lords take to battle astride a reanimated drake, a cadaverous echo of draconic grandeur that can lay waste to an entire army with its raking claws and rotting, corrosive breath. Those who do not flee before the creature’s dreadful majesty are soon ripped to pieces and devoured. As the undead beast runs rampant, its rider adds their own deadly strikes to the onslaught with a necrotic lance or relic sword, while particularly troublesome foes are exsanguinated by blasts of amethyst magic. | ||

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.

Shooting attacks
Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).Shoot in Combat
This weapon can be used to make shooting attacks even if the attacking unit is in combat.Companion
Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
