5. Talons of NightCasting Value: 12+

Remains in play. Talons of Night is a magical vortex that uses the small round template. Once the template is placed, the player then nominates the direction in which the Talons of Night will move. To determine how many inches the template moves, roll an artillery dice and multiply the result by 3. Any model touched by the template suffer a Strength 4 Hit with the Armour Piercing (1) special rule. If the result on the artillery dice is a misfire, centre the template on the caster and roll a scatter dice and a D6. The template moves the number of inches equal to the result of the D6, in the direction shown on the scatter dice (if you roll a Hit!, use the little arrow shown on the Hit! symbol). In either event, in subsequent turns, the Talons of Night travels in a random direction and moves a number of inches equal to the roll on an artillery dice. If a misfire is rolled in subsequent turns, the Talons of Night are removed. The caster can choose to increase the power of the spell so that it uses the large round template instead. If they do so, the casting value is increased to 15+.

Ancestral Warrior444331418

Ancestral Warriors have the Ethereal, Fear and Unstable special rules.

Choose a point on the battlefield – that point need not lie in the caster's line of sight or forward arc. Next, roll 2D6+3. This is how many models comprise the new unit.

When placing this unit, it must be wholly within the spell's range and at least 1" away from all units, buildings and impassable terrain. It can be placed facing any direction, and in any legal formation, as long as the unit's front rank contains at least five models. This unit does not have any upgrades or command models. Units summoned by this spell cannot be dispelled, and do not award victory points under any circumstances. Finally, if a summoned unit cannot be placed because there is not enough room, the unit does not enter play at all, though the spell's lore attribute may still apply.
