Aekold has the Regeneration special rule, as described on p.113 of the Warhammer rulebook. In addition to this, any character model in base-to-base contact with Aekold Helbrass, friend or foe, also gains Regeneration as long as they are in contact with him. If Aekold is killed during a battle, roll a dice at the end of the game. On a 4+ he recovers and does not count as slain, so your opponent does not gain any Victory points for killing him.
