Stormcast Eternals – Praetors
5" 3 3+ 1 The Praetors are the bodyguards of the Stormcast Eternals’ commanders. Their souls are practically entwined with those of their designated ward, allowing them to absorb their master’s wounds into their own flesh through mere physical contact, selflessly enduring while their lord fights on. | ||

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.
