Having painted up a Herdstone for my soon-to-be-coming Beastmen, I obviously needed a Warscroll for it!

I was going to do all sorts of twinky things but, in the end, decided to just keep things simple and, where possible, use existing tools. So, this will seem quite familiar but it does the job with no complications.

You can download a PDF of this Warscroll from the usual place: https://ttgamingdiary.wordpress.com/category/file-downloads/



DESCRIPTION
A Herdstone consists of a single model. It is a tall stone inscribed with foul runes dedicated to Chaos.

SCENERY RULES
The following rules are used for this scenery (do not roll on the Scenery Table on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet).

Arcane: Add 1 to the result of any casting or unbinding rolls made for a Brayherd Wizard within 3" of the Herdstone.

Absorb Magic: Roll a dice each time a Brayherd unit within 3" of a Herdstone suffers a wound or a mortal wound caused by a spell. On a 5 or a 6, the magical energy is absorbed by the Herdstone and that wound is ignored.

Keywords: SCENERY, HERDSTONE

Nice! It just seems a little over-specific to Beastmen to me (even given the context). I think it would be cool if the second rule was:

Absorb Magic: Roll a dice each time a Chaos unit within 3" of a Herdstone suffers a wound or mortal wound caused by a spell, add one if it is a Brayherd unit. On the roll of a 6 or more the magical energy is absorbed by the Herdstone and the wound is ignored.

But that's just my 2 cents. Very well done piece of terrain!

Road to Renown! It's like classic Path to Glory, but repaired, remastered, expanded! https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/778170.page

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.

I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games.
