Settra the Imperishable

Settra gains the Arise! special rule and, unlike other models with this special rule, may use it even when engaged in combat.

If a model with this special rule loses its last Wound to an enemy attack, the unit that made the attack must immediately make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, the enemy unit suffers D3 Strength 2 hits, each with an AP of -.

Each time this model suffers an unsaved wound from a Flaming Attack, your opponent may roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3, the flames quickly die down and this model escapes further harm. On a roll of 4+, the flames take hold and this model loses one additional Wound.

Note that excess wounds caused to a model will have no additional effect except in the case of a character that is part of a challenge, in which case this special rule counts for Overkill. Excess wounds do not ‘spill over’ onto other models in the unit.

A model with this special rule cannot make a Regeneration save against a wound caused by a Flaming attack.

The number of Impact Hits caused varies from model to model, and will be shown in brackets after the name of this special rile. Often, this is determined by the roll of a dice.

Resolving Impact Hits: Impact Hits can only be made by a charging model that moved 3" or more and that is in base contact with the enemy. Impact hits are attacks made in combat that always strike at Initiative 10 (regardless of modifiers), and that hit automatically using the unmodified Strength characteristic of the model.

A unit with this special rule reduces the number of wounds suffered due to the Unstable special rule by the number shown in brackets (shown here as ‘X’).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest value for the entire unit. For example, if a character with Indomitable (2) joins a unit with Indomitable (1), the whole unit uses the character’s Indomitable (2) special rule.

A Wizard with the 'Lore of Nehekhara' special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or a spell from the 'Lore of Nehekhara'.

During the Command sub-phase of their turn, this character may attempt to exert their will upon those around them by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, choose one of the following modifiers. Until your next Start of Turn sub-phase this character, their mount and any unit they have joined gain that modifier (to a maximum of 10):

• “Forward to Glory!”: +D3 Movement.

• “My Worthy Champions!”: +1 Weapon Skill.

• “Strike like the Cobra!”: +D3 Initiative.

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. In other words, using it more than once on the same unit during the same turn has no further effect.

Models with this special rule are ‘Undead’. Undead models cannot march (unless they have the Fly (X) special rule and choose to move by flying). In addition, all Undead models have the following universal special rules:

• Fear  • Immune to Psychology  • Unbreakable  • Unstable

A character with this special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice versa.

A model with this special rule can make a 'Regeneration' save. The armour value of a Regeneration save is shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (X+). A Regeneration save can never be modified by the AP characteristic of a weapon and can be made in addition to an armour save and Ward save. However, any wounds saved by a Regeneration save are still counted for the purposes of calculating combat result.

Note that models with this special rule are often vulnerable to the Flaming Attacks or Magical Attacks special rules.

Settra must always accept a challenge unless Nekaph, Emissary of Settra is engaged in the same combat. In which case, Nekaph must accept the challenge on Settra’s behalf.

If your army includes Settra, he must be the army’s General and must be chosen to be the army’s Hierophant, even if he does not have the highest Level of Wizardry in your army. In addition, Settra has a Command Range of 18".

During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may attempt to resurrect the fallen (see page 154) by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, a single friendly unit that has the Nehekharan Undead special rule and is within 12" of this character recovers a number of lost Wounds. However, magically repairing gigantic undead constructs is much harder than raising skeletons from the sand. Therefore, how many Wounds are recovered depends upon the unit’s troop type and this character’s Level of Wizardry:

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘regular infantry’, ‘heavy infantry’ or ‘swarms’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character‘s Level of Wizardry +D3.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘light cavalry’, ‘heavy cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character‘s Level of Wizardry +1.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘monstrous infantry’, ‘monstrous cavalry’ or ‘light chariot’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character‘s Level of Wizardry.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘heavy chariot’, ‘monstrous creature’, ‘behemoth’ or ‘war machine’, it recovers a single Wound.
