Stormcast Eternals – Lord-Commander Bastian Carthalos
5" 8 3+ 2 5+ Bastian Carthalos is Lord-Commander of the Hammers of Sigmar. As a mortal, he led his warriors in a daring assault against the Everchosen himself, buying time for the God-King to lead the retreat to Azyr. Sigmar looked upon Bastian’s valour with favour, calling on the ninth Great Bolt, Skjordamar, to Reforge his shattered form. | ||

 Passive |
VOICE OF THUNDER: Lord‑Commanders are among the few faithful who can commune with Sigmar in the heat of battle. Their words are like booming thunderclaps, each order ringing across the battlefield.
Effect: Each time a friendly STORMCAST ETERNALS unit wholly within 12" of this unit uses the ‘All-out Attack’ command, no command points are spent.
 Deployment Phase |
CASTELLAN OF AZYR: Centuries spent commanding Sigmar’s prime Stormhost have sharpened Bastian’s tactical nous to a deadly edge. There are few warlords more adept than he in all the armies of Order.
Declare: Pick up to 3 friendly STORMCAST ETERNALS INFANTRY units to be the targets.
Effect: Each target can use the ‘Normal Move’ ability as if it were your movement phase.
Effect: Each target can use the ‘Normal Move’ ability as if it were your movement phase.
 End of Any Turn |
MANTLE OF THE FIRST STORM: Bastian’s armour is among the first of its kind, laboured over by Grungni himself and charged with the same holy energies as the Anvil of Apotheosis. It is a symbol of, and potent boon to, the Thunderborn’s already legendary willpower.
Effect: If any enemy models were slain by this unit’s attacks this turn, Heal (4) this unit.

17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
| Passive |
SEED OF REBIRTH: Should the bearer of this seed ever fall, its rejuvenating energies will grant them new life.
Effect: The first time this unit would be destroyed, before removing it from play, roll a dice. On a 3+, this unit is not destroyed and any remaining damage points inflicted on it have no effect. Then, Heal (D3) this unit.
21.0 Healing
Some abilities allow you to heal a unit. To heal a unit, remove a number of damage points from the unit equal to the number in brackets after ‘Heal’, e.g. Heal (2).FAQ
| Q: | If an ability (e.g. ‘Seed of Rebirth’) would allow a unit that would be destroyed to negate all remaining damage points then heal to prevent that unit from being destroyed, and another ability (e.g. ‘Quenching the Flames’) prevents that unit from healing, would that unit still be destroyed? |
| A: | Yes. |
Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.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.
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). | ||

7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. 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.
