0-1 Locust Swarm - 35pts per base
Unit size 3+
In the desert of Nehekhara, despite the unforgiving sun, some creatures cling to life. Occasionally, when the rains come down and bring life to the river, vast swarms of Locusts emerge from the ground, drawn by the moisture in the air. These insects are voracious and hungry, and spend their short lives hunting for food along the river, devastating swathes of land. However, unlike in other parts of the Old world, these insects do not die. Foul necromancy from Nagashizzar spreads across the land and infuses these insects with unholy vigour. Flying in front of Nagash’s legions, these swarms spread death and disease, devouring anything they come across.
M 1 / WS 2 / BS 0 / S 2 / T 2 / W 3 / I 2 / A 3 / Ld 10
Special Rules
Swarm
Fly
Poison
Droning Horror
Fused with the dark magic of the Supreme Lord of Undeath, the drone of the swarm takes on a horrifying sound that cannot be ignored. It grates on their senses, setting their nerves on edge and even the stoutest warrior hesitates as the swarm bears down on him
Any enemy unit within 6†of a Locus Swarm must pass a Ld test if they wish to fire a missile weapon, or in the case of wizards, if they wish to cast a spell. If failed they cannot ignore the drone of the swarm and suffer a -2 to any to hit roles. In the case of warmachines that fail and do not roll to hit, the player controlling the swarm can choose to make the warmachine player re-roll the artillery dice. This rule also applies to stand and shoot if the swarm charges a unit, however in this case there is no range limitation. Any wizards that fail the test will miscast on double if they roll a double ‘2’ in addition to the normal double ‘1’.
This rule does not affect units that are Immune to Psychology.
