Sylvaneth – Belthanos, First Thorn of Kurnoth
12" 14 3+ 5 Woe betide unwitting trespassers marked by Belthanos, for by the time they realise their fate, the hosts of the First Thorn will be chasing across valley, river and forest to trap their master’s prey. As the herald of the dormant hunter-god Kurnoth, Belthanos stands above his Kurnothi brethren as their leader. When he leads the Evergreen Hunt forth, primal life energy surges and ensnares foes with fresh buds and choking shoots.
Many of Belthanos’s targets are not aware that they have been marked. The distinguishing feature can be as simple as the tear of a thorn or the prick of a nettle, but there can be no doubt when Belthanos sounds his terrible horn. Once blown, his prey are doomed to hear its maddeningly shrill echo right up until he plunges his Kurnoth glaive deep into their heart.
The Carnelian Greatspite that Belthanos rides is not a true insect but a construct of pure life energy; it is this creature that allows Belthanos such a measure of arboreal control. His aura of spring vibrancy bends the world around him, flushing quarry from the trees for his retinue of Kurnoth Hunters to strike down with arrow and scythe. | ||

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).
The HERO keyword is used in the following Sylvaneth warscrolls:
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.

15.4 Flying
Units with the FLY keyword have the following passive ability:| Passive |
FLY: Soaring above the battlefield, this unit can reach destinations that are inaccessible to other troops.
Effect: As this unit moves, it ignores other models, terrain features and the combat ranges of enemy units. It cannot end its move in combat unless specified in the ability that allowed it to move. Ignore any vertical distance moved for this unit.
| When moving flying units, move them horizontally in any direction, ignoring intervening models and terrain, and place them where you wish, so long as they are allowed to end their move on that spot. Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
