==={{PAGENAME}} in a Nutshell===
Warpborn Skinwalkers are some of the toughest infantry in the game. The only other infantry with as many wounds as they do are either Convergence and made of metal or Khador's Man-O-Wars. The Alpha's Gang ability gives them the offence they need.
 
Circle isn’t really a faction that leverages hard to kill models very well and you will notice that a few will die to ranged attacks before they can reach the front lines. Their biggest issue however is the low volume of attacks you get for quite a steep points package.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
The tough benefit from being tougher. Anything that gives a mass ARM buff
* [[Baldur the Stonesoul]] with his feat.
* [[Morvahna the Autumnblade]] - Restoration gives +2 ARM and they get revived at effectively 1+d3 hp and Mortality lets them hit at effective MAT 10 and P+S 16.
* [[Morvahna the Dawnshadow]] finds them a great unit to bring back with her feat and a good target for Carnivore.
* [[Brennos]] can heal them up after they have been revive or otherwise taken damage.
* [[Grayle the Farstrider]] has Tactician:Wolf Sworn and the Death March spell, both of which work well for them.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* One mediocre attack per model. They are hard to kill - but don't do much work themselves. A shield not a sword.
* One of the few circle options without pathfinder.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* Without unyielding, their arm isn't that great.  Running to engage can often make them safer than not.

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

  • All models of a unit are Trooper models.
  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)
Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.
