Sylvaneth – Arch-Revenant
12" 6 4+ 2 Wielding wickedly sharp glaives and borne to battle by zephyrspites that clasp their torsos, Arch-Revenants serve Alarielle as war leaders, scouts and special agents. Far afield do they roam, marshalling wargroves in accordance with the Everqueen’s will and reporting all they see back to Alarielle through their low, keening songs.
Arch-Revenants work in close tandem with their Kurnoth Hunter brethren, though their presence is received with caution by the Sylvaneth. The Arch- Revenants were planted by Alarielle at the height of her war aspect, when she had emerged from her long hibernation and wrought devastating vengeance against those that would harm Ghyran. This furious resolve is seeded within them, and bombastic aggression radiates within them like a midsummer storm. Though not blind to the intricate social hierarchies of their race, these spirits have little time for politics, and their brusque manner sees few glades eagerly receive them. Yet their fiery nature is an undeniable advantage over their foes. Other Sylvaneth are filled with brimming battle-lust when nearby a passionate Arch-Revenant, surging forth to enact Alarielle’s designs. | ||

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.
