Soulblight Gravelords – Watch Captain Halgrim
4" 5 4+ 2 During the purge of the Cursed City of Ulfenkarn, the traitorous Watch Captain Oleksandr Halgrim was swift to swear himself and his warriors to the cause of its vampire conquerors, rounding up many of the noble scions of the city in the Mournhold dungeons. In return, the amoral soldier sought the ‘gift’ of the Soulblight Curse, for he had long admired the strength and power of the vampire-kin. Unfortunately for Halgrim, several of his fellow officers were outraged by his betrayal of their ancient oaths to protect the city. They bound Halgrim hand and foot and hurled him into a sewer pit to be eaten alive by swarming corpse rats.
Though all that remained of Halgrim was a picked-clean skeleton, Radukar had his Necromancers seek out the Watch Captain and raise him as a Deathrattle officer to lead his Ulfenwatch. Halgrim returned to his post and slew with his keen halberd those who had deposed him, though he found no peace in the act. Reduced to little more than a rotting automaton, Halgrim no longer feels anything at all, aside from a powerful imperative to hack Radukar’s enemies apart with his rusty and pockmarked sabre. | ||

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). | ||

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. 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.
