Soulblight Gravelords – Vargheists
12" 4 5+ 1 6+ A vampire becomes a Vargheist when they are deprived of the chance to feed, often as a punishment for transgressing against their own kind. They retain an instinctive deference towards the elders of their bloodline, but in battle, they become uncontrollable as soon as the scent of hot gore is in the air. They plummet from on high with bone-breaking force, smashing their prey to the ground and ripping them open with fangs and claws. | ||

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)

When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
