Model Advantages and Abilities

Flight	This model can fly. Interaction with terrain: Treat storm terrain as rough terrain while advancing. Treat all other non-impassable terrain as open terrain while advancing. Obstructions can be advanced through if the model has enough movement to move comletely past the obstruction. Obstructions can be moved onto if the obstructions are large enough to accomodate the flying model's base. Models without flight ignores the continuous effects from the following hazards, unless they become knocked down within the hazard: Acid Bath Burning Earth Interaction with other models Other models can be moved through if the flying model has enough movement to move completely past the other model. Interaction with power attacks Ignore intervening models when declaring the flying model's charge target. Do not stop its movement when it contacts an obstacle, obstruction, or another model while charging, slam power attacking, or trampling. Unintential movement is not advancing (pushes slams). This way, a model with flight can be slammed into an obstruction. Other effects While knocked down or stationary, this model loses Flight.   Errata-Razor Wall (2023-12-28) Question: Does a model with flight still take damage going over a razor wall? Answer: Yes. Explanation: Because Flight does not state a specific interaction with Razor Wall, and Razor Wall does not state any specific interaction with Flight, one can safely conclude that there are no special interactions. A model with Flight will suffer the damage point if it enters or ends its activation in the area of the wall template. Infernal Ruling: Unofficial Answer - PP Community forum

Release Trivia

Lore

Possessing immense arcane ability and a talent for the divinatory arts, Issyria has become one of the greatest military assets of House Nyarr. That she has done so while declining to wield a weapon is all the more remarkable. In combat, Issyria uses her powers to perceive the flow of battle, gaining a peerless understanding of each movement and action around her and directing her myrmidons to serve as perfect fulcrums of force. When she enters her meditative trance the world seems to freeze and the best tactical course becomes clear.
