Warden of Saphery

A character with the Warden of Saphery Elven Honour:

• Cannot be mounted.
• May be equipped with a Sword of Hoeth for no additional points. If so, they may not take any additional, non-magical weapons.
• Gains the Deflect Shots, Ithilmar Armour and Killing Blow special rules.

A model with this special rule has a 6+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by a non-magical shooting attack.

A model with this special rule may re-roll any rolls of 1 when making Dangerous Terrain tests. In addition a Wizard with this special rule may wear armour without penalty.

If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound for an attack made in combat, it has struck a ‘Killing Blow’. Enemy models whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or ‘cavalry’ are not permitted an armour or Regeneration save (see page 176) against a Killing Blow (Ward saves can be attempted as normal). If an enemy model whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or ‘cavalry’ suffers an unsaved wound from a Killing Blow, it loses all of its remaining Wounds.

Note that if an attack wounds automatically, this special rule cannot be used.
