Battle Reference

This guide provides a summary of actions available during a player's turn.

Damage & Status

  • Harm: Each model can sustain up to 3 harms by default. Every excess harm causes an injury. For full rules on harm, injuries, and incapacitation, see the Damage page.

  • Damage Resolution:

    • Hits < Endurance: The target suffers 1 Harm.
    • Hits >= Endurance: The target suffers 1 Injury and 1 Harm.
    • Hits >= 2 * Endurance: The target is Incapacitated.

  • Incapacitated: When a model is Incapacitated, it is removed from the battlefield.

    • All models from the incapacitated model's crew within 3" must pass a Confusion Test (2I) or become confused.
    • A confused model must choose to take fatigue (if it can) or Flee (be removed from the battlefield).
  • Experience (XP): When a Champion is Incapacitated, their crew earns 1 XP. This does not happen if the champion flees and can be used once per game.
