Nekaph

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.

Any enemy unit that is in base contact with Nekaph or a unit he has joined must roll an extra D6 when making a Fear or Terror test, and discard the lowest result.

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.

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.

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.

Nekaph must always issue and accept challenges (if possible). However, challenges issued by Nekaph cannot be refused. In addition, whilst engaged in a challenge, Nekaph strikes a Killing Blow if he rolls a natural 5 or 6 when making a roll To Wound, rather than the usual 6.

Should a Monarch of Nehekhara model suffer a hit whilst within 3" of this model, you may choose to transfer that hit and all of its effects onto this model.
