Screaming Skull Catapult

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.

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.

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.

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Skirmish formation.

Any attack made or hits caused by a model with this special rule, or made using a weapon or spell with this special rule, is a ‘Flaming’ attack. In addition, a model with this special rule causes Fear in models whose troop type is ‘war beasts’ or ‘swarms’.

Unless otherwise stated, a model with this special rule makes Flaming attacks both when shooting and in combat (though any spells cast by the model are unaffected, as are any attacks made with magic weapons they might be wielding).

Any unit that suffers one or more unsaved wounds from this weapon must make a Panic test as if it had taking heavy casualties.

Any attack made or hit caused by a model with this special rule, or made using a weapon with this special rule, is a ‘Magical’ attack.

Note that all spells are considered to have this special rule, as are any hits caused by magic items.
