Huron Blackheart: Master of the Maelstrom (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes a ranged attack, an unmodified Hit roll of 6 is required to score a hit, irrespective of the attacking weapon’s Ballistic Skill or any modifiers. Before the battle, CHARACTER units with the Leader ability can be attached to one of their Bodyguard units to form an Attached unit. The creature is also rumored to be able to read thoughts and transmit them to Huron, which has allowed him to survive many attempts on his life by assassins. I do feel as if this might have worked better as a longer novel, or even a series, with all of the characters given a bit more room to breathe, and the story moving at a less breakneck pace. The survivors soon learnt to fear his fury, swearing allegiance to the Tyrant and becoming his slaves.

Seeking revenge for the severe damage inflicted on Chogoris, the Great Khan of the White Scars, Jubal, led a daring attack upon Seethnar -- the vast void station seized by Huron Blackheart as a main dockyard for his piratical war fleets in their assault upon the Yasan Sector.This resulted in several fringe worlds that harboured Renegade ships in the past being turned into lifeless husks. His rise was meteoric from this point on, as he ascended first to the Chapter's 3rd Battle Company and then joined the Veterans of the Astral Claws' elite 1st Company, where his superlative combat skills saw him raised to command other Space Marine Veterans with far more practical experience than he. These books allow for a more intimate form of storytelling than the usual galaxy-shaping battlefields of the setting as a whole. Huron Blackheart, also known as the Blood Reaver, is a powerful chaos space marine pirate lord and leader of the Red Corsairs. In protest, Huron also withheld Badab Primaris' planetary tithe to the Administratum and further blocked the passage of trade through his realms in protest over the adepta's failure to provide him and his allies sufficient resources to police the Maelstrom.

TARGET: One unit from your army that is within 6" of that enemy unit and would be eligible to declare a charge against that enemy unit if it were your Charge phase. Unlike armour saving throws (which use a model’s Save characteristic), invulnerable saving throws are never modified by an attack’s Armour Penetration characteristic, but otherwise follow the normal rules for saving throws.

Though Lufgt Huron became an increasingly unstable commander, throughout the Badab War he remained a brilliant tactician who favoured strategies of stalwart defence married to high-speed counter attack and subtle flanking actions. For each roll of 1, that test is failed and one model in that unit equipped with a Hazardous weapon is destroyed (selected by the controlling player), unless that model is a CHARACTER, MONSTER or VEHICLE, in which case it suffers 3 mortal wounds instead. Lufgt Huron, also known as " Huron Blackheart" and the " Tyrant of Badab," was once the Chapter Master of the Astral Claws and self-claimed Imperial governor of the world of Badab Primaris in the Maelstrom Zone of the Ultima Segmentum. Upon his restoration, he found himself with a Daemonic familiar dubbed the Hamadrya as part of whatever this bargain entails.
