Dominar Morghoul Skorne Paingiver Warlock Unit Escorts Troopers

Limbo This model has not (yet) been updated with Mk IV rules, as of 2022.12. Privateer Press have promised it will get updated ... eventually. You can view the Mk3 models that have been updated on this page. Note that the rest of this page is about the model's Mark III rules.

After a lifetime spent bloodying his hands on behalf of others, Morghoul has emerged from the world of shadows to command a house like no other—the paingivers. In battle, Dominar Morghoul is attended by two paingiver escorts who aid him in crippling his foes so that his blade may find purchase, and he empowers his army with mortitheurgical might so that they may shift like the sands of the desert to swiftly fell their foes.

Thoughts on Morghoul3

Morghoul3 in a nutshell

Dominar Morghoul is very like his previous version of Lord Assassin Morghoul - blinding a lot of enemies, some buffing, a little debuffing, and the ability to finish the enemy off. Acrobatics and Apparition between them give him a pretty impressive threat profile as he can get through most enemies without stopping.

Like most warlocks in warlock units he's had some of his power spread to a couple of unit members who are probably worth three points each.

Maximising his Feat & Spells

• Night's Reflection with its blind is basically the ability to render an enemy unit either irrelevant for a turn, easy prey this turn, or both. (It also sets up casters for the kill). It's equally good against battle engines and is generally a standout spell.
• Mirage cast on the Dominar himself is a statement of intent. How recklessly do you want to play him? And you probably want to do this after the feat.
• Occultation is just good.
• His feat should be used early - preferably with Nihilators to clean up as much infantry as you can. Or with Bloodrunners to exploit gang chains as they don't actually have these abilities.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• No damage buff
• It's hard to trigger Hidden Blade and without it he's not that great an assassin.
• Legion beasts frequently no-sell Night's Reflection and blind-related synergies.
• Archons are immune to blind across the board.
• Few direct battlegroup synergies. There's Mirage and there's Night's Reflection. The last one is dependent on list building, enemy model nature and placement. Can work but no guarantees.
• Arm 14
• Few warbeast points

Tricks & Tips

• His escorts can frequently do a really good job of jamming up heavies.
• Mirage is useful on his unit in the endgame. Remember: upkeep, then place. Also remember you can't place models out of formation with the unit commander.
• Blind - then reposition back behind something safe
• Night's Reflection can let you massacre an entire unit. Or just keep it out for a turn as it can't shake Blind.
• The aforementioned blinding spell is also a good way to control certain battle engines. Be careful for battle engines that have native Eyeless Sight or the ones that can gain it from models such as Alyce Marc or the Bog Trog Mist Speaker.

List Building Advice

Strategy

Morghoul wants to win by attrition with a highly effective back pocket assassination. Night's Reflection is an amazing spell, either shutting down a unit for a turn and setting it up for the kill, or shutting down a battle engine for a turn. His feat lets you kill anything in charge range - parry, acrobatics, and overtake are amazing mobility and frequently a pocket MAT-fixer as it gives you backstrike bonuses. (Woe betide the caster who doesn't realise they are in charge range). And he himself can be a finisher although he is no Morghoul2 when it comes to personal threat as applying Blind costs many more resources. So his strategy boils down to "win the attrition game with infantry while forcing the opponent to play round the assassination".

Morghoul's feat and spells support an aggressive infantry line with a relatively small battlegroup.

Theme thoughts

    Disciples of Agony    
He was one of the few warlocks allowed in this theme even before the remix, and it goes with him. It provides him with a damage buff from either a Battle Boar or Blackhide Wrastler - and allowing him both Bloodrunners and Nihilators, both of which get on extremely well with his feat; the Dominar uses surprisingly few minion units here. Unfortunately it's mostly beasts to crack armour mixed with infantry for infantry-slaying, so it's a bit of an army of parts.

• Nihilators really love the Overtake/Berserk combination. And both Occultation and Apparition do good things for them.
• Paingiver Bloodrunners do surprisingly well with Morghoul's feat; Parry and Acrobatics both get them to targets and overtake does wonderful things to get Gang-chains going on targets that thought they were safe. Also with a caster with occultation the more stealth the merrier.

    Masters of War    
This is the other common way to play him. You can take a couple of units of Praetorian Swordsmen to shatter armour and keep them safe with his spells, and Swordsmen love delivery methods. So do Ferox.

• Cataphract Arcuarii love Occultation and the feat; acrobatics really lets them get at their target.
• Legends of Halaak can be protected on the way in and are very hard to hide from under Morghoul's feat.
• Praetorian Swordsmen love everything the feat does. Acrobatics to get into back arcs or to high value targets. Parry and sidestep work together awesomely. And he has two spells to protect them.
• Praetorian Ferox can threaten almost the entire table with Morghoul's feat
• The Supreme Guardian can be placed with Mirage in this theme (not in Exhalted due to Immovable Object) which increases its melee threat to 13". A respectable number, though casting Mirage on the battle engine does telegraph your plan/threat range.

    The Exalted    
It doesn't gain so much from his kit although it's far from unplayable and a surprise Hakaar the Destroyer charging through models and overtaking can wreck a lot of things. This works even if it's not an outstanding choice; Morghoul has no damage buffs, and Immortals and Ancestral Guardians are P+S 13/14 and he does little for warbeasts. Also there's little point to giving Immortals Overtake - and Incorporeal covers most of both Acrobatics and Parry so the feat's not all that great. It can save you a soul on the Extoller Advocate though.

• Immortal Vessel gives him +2 to hit with his Blind spells and lets him channel them safely. Close to a must-have.
• Keep in mind that in this theme Construct models gain Immovable Object, which prevents them from being placed - this means Mirage won't work on your construct models in this theme! Your beasts or Morghoul can still be placed with Mirage though.

    Winds of Death    
Lacks the melee infantry he loves. Models in the theme do love to shoot Blind targets. The theme also allows the Immortal Vessel. Maybe not the first choice but not a bad one either.

    Support models - Various themes    

• Aptimus Marketh gets two upkeeps and his blind spell. Which is basically everything he wants.
• Extoller Soulward lets you land Blind and may be wanted to take out incorporeal models as Morghoul lacks a zap.
• Immortal Vessel gives him +2 to hit with his Blind spells and lets him channel them safely. Close to a must-have.
• Hermit of Henge Hold provides either a damage buff or the Telemetry ability if you're not rocking the aforementioned Immortal Vessels. This can shore up both his lack of a damage buff/debuff and/or his to-hit with NIght's Reflection. Mad Visions can also help Morghoul or key models stay alive. Keep in mind the Hermit's SPD 5. Note that in DoA you can take the Paingiver Task Master which can give the Hermit Reposition [3"].

Battlegroup

Other than leeching Fury from it Morghoul 3 has very little direct interaction with his battlegroup. As such it is normally chosen after the army and using little more than his core warbeast points, in order to fill in any gaps that the rest of the army has left.

Rules Clarifications

Rules Clarification : Blessed and/or Creator's Wrath     (Edit) Blessed ignores spell buffs even if they're not directly on the target. (For example, Haley3's Temporal Distortion spell is cast on Haley and gives a DEF buff to everyone within 5". Blessed ignores it on everyone, not just on Haley.) (Locked thread) You only ignore the DEF/ARM buff if the spell directly adds to the stat (for example Arcane Shield gives +3 ARM). Whereas a spell which grants an ability, and the ability gives a DEF/ARM buff, would not be ignored by Blessed (for example Cloak of Ash gives a model concealment, and concealment gives +2 DEF). (Infernal Ruling) If a spell buffs DEF/ARM and [something else] then you ignore the buff but not the [something else]. (For example, the spell Death Ward grants +2 ARM and the defender chooses which column suffers damage. You would ignore the ARM bonus, but the defender still picks the column.) This ability only ignores buffs from spells, not buffs from feats (such as Stryker1's Invincibility +5 ARM) or abilities (such as Protective Aura's +2 ARM).

Rules Clarification:  : Magical Damage      (Edit) (Click Expand to read)

* The "Damage Type: Magical" is not inherited by "secondary" damage from a weapon. That is, stuff like arcs (Electro Leap) or hazards (Scather). (Infernal Ruling) All spells have "Damage Type: Magical" (refer errata). This is inherited by "immediate" secondary damage (such as Eruption of Spines). (Infernal Ruling) and might be inherited by "lingering" secondary damage (see below). If a spell leaves a template in play that does damage to models that walk around in it, then: if it is not described as a hazard it will do magical damage to models that walk around in it. (Example: Razor Wall) if it is a hazard then it will not do magical damage to models that walk around in it. Instead, it does whatever damage type is specified by the spell description. (Example: Breath of Corruption). (Infernal Ruling) If a weapon/spell includes Magic Damage and another kind of elemental damage it will still damage Incorporeal models. Incorporeal models are not affected by the rule "if an attack does multiple types of damage and a model is immune to at least one it is immune to the entire attack." The phrase "immune to non-magical damage" should be interpreted as "immune to damage that doesn't include Damage Type: Magical" (not interpreted as "has immunity to Corrosion and Electricity and Cold and etc.")

Rules Clarification : Decapitation - None yet. (Edit)

Rules Clarification:  : Warcaster Unit or Warlock Unit     (Edit) (Click Expand to read)

This summary is specific to Warcaster/Warlock units. You may also want to check the Warcaster and Warlock pages respectively, for the "regular" rules clarifications. All models in the unit count as part of the battlegroup. So, for instance, Butcher3's argus can be moved via his Energizer spell. Warcaster units can have attachments. They can even attach units (such as the WSC). (Infernal Ruling) The non-caster models are trooper models but are not normally Grunt models. Therefore they're not normally eligible for stuff like Revive. If any member of the unit start to do their reposition movement, the warcaster or warlock in the unit would no longer be able to feat.(Infernal Ruling) Press Forward Order vs Spells cast at Any Time (Edit) You must issue orders before anything else. If you issue a Press Forward order, you must run or charge. If you cast spells before moving, you can't run so you must charge. If you cast spells before moving, then start the spellcaster's Normal Movement but have no valid charge targets, you are in a situation where you must charge but cannot charge. In this situation the spellcaster must either: forfeit their Combat Action, use their Normal Movement to make a full advance, then their activation ends. (Note that you cannot cast more spells after the full advance). forfeit their Normal Movement, then their activation ends. (Infernal Ruling) Steamroller 2018 The non-caster models can contest scenario zones & flags. The caster model cannot contest. The caster model can control zones and flags by itself, but: to control a zone, the entire unit remaining in play needs to be in formation. to control a flag, the entire unit remaining in play must be within 4" of the flag. Units Buying Attacks (Edit) If you make attacks with model [A], then start making attacks with model [B], you cannot 'go back' and buy more attacks with [A]. Because: A model can only buy additional attacks during its Combat Action. A model in a unit must complete its Combat Action before the next model starts theirs (with some exceptions, like CMA).

Rules Clarification : Officer      (Edit) Even if they're not on the Officer's card, an Officer can give (and benefit from) any non-standard orders that are on the unit's card (such as Shield Wall). Refer main rulebook. A Ranking Officer can't do this, though. When the Officer dies, the Leader model becomes the new Unit Commander (you don't get to choose). But if your unit doesn't include a Leader model, then you do get to choose any of the remaining models to be the new Unit Commander. You don't swap the model, but it may be worth putting a token down so you can tell that grunt apart.

Rules Clarification : Parry - None yet. (Edit)

Rules Clarification : Pathfinder      (Edit) Pathfinder (Edit) - Pathfinder does not apply to involuntary movement (pushes & slams). (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Stealth      (Edit) Stealth models are not invisible and you can target them - you'll just auto-miss most of the time. You can target them with a charge. You can target them with an AOE, have it auto-miss and scatter, luckily land on top of them anyway, and that will hit them.

Rules Clarification : Acrobatics      (Edit) Charging through models (Edit) You can't charge all the way through your charge target, with the intention to turn around and face them once you're on the other side. Because you aren't able to satisfy the "must keep the charge target in melee range" clause at the point after you are through the model but before you turn to directly face. At that point the target is behind you, not in your front arc, and thus not in your melee range. Your melee range only extends to your front arc. Refer to the latest errata. You can still "skim" through the edge of their base, if you're careful and smart with your positioning.

Rules Clarification : Tactics vs Granted     (Edit) Granted = The unit loses the ability as soon as the model that grants it is taken off the table. (think "G for Goes away") Tactics = The unit keeps the ability for the entire game, regardless of who dies. (think "Tac-Tick = K for Keeps")   Granted [ Vengeance ] If the model granting Vengeance dies, the unit will not get any Vengeance attacks. It is "If you have Vengeance, and you were damaged last turn, you get a move+attack." It is not "If you get damaged, you get Vengeance next turn." If you lose Vengeance halfway through resolving Vengeance, then you stop resolving Vengeance immediately. (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Reposition      (Edit) Models out of formation cannot move via Reposition. Refer to the "Out of Formation" rules in the core rulebook. End of Activation (Edit) You cannot resolve two end-of-activation movement effects (refer to "End of Activation Movement" in the core rulebook). For EOA stuff that doesn't involve movement, though, it gets a bit more murky: Some EOA abilities explicitly state your activation ends as part of resolving the ability (like Reposition), and some don't (like Refuge). Whether it is explicit it or not, by definition an EOA ability is the last thing you can do for that activation. For instance, if you resolve Refuge and then continue your activation to cast more spells, then you have not used Refuge at the end of your activation. You cannot do an "at any time" ability during or after triggering an EOA ability; you cannot cast spells, purchase additional attacks, use a mini-feat, etc. If you start resolving an EOA movement (such as Reposition) then you cannot trigger abilities that occur "at any time" (such as Go To Ground). Because you can't trigger it while resolving the EOA movement, and after the EOA movement your activation has ended. (Infernal Ruling) For units: if any model in the unit starts resolving the unit's EOA movement, then no model in the unit can trigger an any-time ability. (Infernal Ruling) See also the training article: LPG - End of Activation.

Rules Clarification : Steady      (Edit) If you are hit by a knockdown effect during your own turn then ... nothing happens. Unless it was a Slam or a Throw that knocked you down. In that situation, there is a core rule that says "models immune to knockdown that become knocked down from a slam or throw must forfeit either movement or action when they activate". But that core rule doesn't apply to other knockdowns (lots of players assume it does) Steady models are still susceptible to other effects of knock-down attacks (if there are any). For instance, a Head Butt attack causes damage and knockdown - a Steady model would still take the damage. A knocked down model that gains Steady will remain knocked down, because the "cannot be knocked down" is not retroactively applied. Steady models who make a tough check during an advance can continue advancing. (Locked Thread)

Rules Clarification : Hidden Blade - None yet. (Edit)

Rules Clarification : Swift Hunter and/or Overtake     (Edit) The free move must be resolved before other abilities that involve attacks (such as Quick Work or Berserk). Refer Step 12 vs 14 in Appendix A. This ability does not trigger off special attacks, only basic ones. An important difference: Swift Hunter can be triggered by any attack, including out-of-activation attacks. Overtake only works on attacks during your Combat Action. Even stuff like Impact Attacks won't trigger it. If you make a free strike during your Combat Action (for instance the enemy used a special rule to move during your Combat Action) you can trigger Overtake on that free strike. It still counts as being during your Combat Action. (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Flashing Blade      (Edit) Flashing Blade is an unlimited spell. Flashing Blade is optional. All attacks generated are basic attacks. Flashing Blade will not hit friendly models. Simultaneous melee attack (Edit) There are several abilities/spells that allow a model to make simultaneous melee attacks vs everything in range (Blood Reaper, Cyclone, Flashing Blade, High-Impact, Thresher)       Some have Infernal Rulings that pertain only to themselves, but the clarifications below are applicable to all of these abilities:   [Show/Hide] Targeting/Timing To make a multi-melee-attack (MMA) you have to make individual melee attacks vs every model, and this means you need to target every model with a melee attack. If a model "may not be targeted by melee attacks" (such as Una2's feat) then you have to 'skip' it when you resolve the attack. (Infernal Ruling) The attacks are effectively multiple separate attacks. If you have a buff to your "next attack" (such as Tune Up) then it only works vs the first model you roll dice against, not vs every enemy. (Infernal Ruling). The attacks are simultaneous. If a model is out of LOS when you start the MMA, then you may not attack it during the MMA (even if the MMA kills what is blocking your LOS). You need to target everything, then resolve all effects that trigger on "target" before starting any attack rolls. Then complete all attack rolls and do everything that triggers on "hit" before starting any damage rolls, and etc. In practice and to save time though, if neither player has effects that trigger on "being targetted, hit, damaged, etc" then they'll normally do the hit and damage rolls on a model-by-model basis. If a model collects tokens from destroyed models (for instance the Cryx Harrower that collects souls), it cannot collect any tokens until all MMA are resolved. Charging If you charge and cast a spell to generate MMA, then none of those MMA count as a charge attack. You've "paused" your charge. If the charge target survives the spell, then you get to make a normal charge attack vs it. If your MMA is simply tied to your weapon, then only the damage roll against your charge target is automatically boosted - other models caught in the MMA suffer an unboosted damage roll (although you can spend focus/fury to boost it) Triggering other abilities Most abilities that give the attacker a bonus move/attack tend to use the phrase "destroy one or more enemy models with a melee attack" and as such you'll only trigger this ability once. For example Berserk, Quick Work, Black Spot, etc Other abilities, that trigger on "hit" or "damage", can be triggered from every attack in the MMA. Many abilities only trigger off a basic melee attack, so don't work with special MMA (like Thresher). But if your MMA is basic (like High-Impact), things might get a bit complicated. In particular: If you have Beat Back on the attacker, it is resolved after the attack. Every model that survives the MMA is eligible to be Beat Back-ed, and the attacker chooses the order. Pick one, push it and follow it, then decide if you want to Beat Back another survivor. Each push will recenter the directly away / directly toward part of the push. (Infernal Ruling) If you have Electro-Leap on the attack, it is resolved after all attack rolls but before any damage rolls. The models that you just attacked will have electo-leaps bounce between them (as they will generally be the closest to each other). After the Electro damage is resolved, you can roll melee damage vs any models that survived the electric damage. (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Mirage      (Edit) The upkeep needs to be paid before you can get the Apparition move. Refer Step 4 vs Step 5 of "Control Phase" in the core rulebook. Rules Clarification : Apparition      (Edit) Apparition is an "Other" Control Phase effect, so it happens at Step 7 of the Control Phase. It happens after paying for upkeeps, Power Up, etc If you have another "Other" Control Phase effect, you get to choose the order to resolve them. If a model is B2B with you when you use Apparition then they will be exactly 2" away afterwards. So you'll still be in the melee range of anything with RNG 2 or higher. Unit members must always be placed in formation. Refer to the "Placed" section of the core rulebook. If a trooper can't be placed in formation (because it's more than 2" out of formation to begin with) then it can't be placed at all. The unit commander is always "In Formation" by definition, so can be placed where it likes.

Rules Clarification : Night's Reflection - None yet. (Edit)

Rules Clarification : Occultation      (Edit) Rules Clarification : Stealth      (Edit) Stealth models are not invisible and you can target them - you'll just auto-miss most of the time. You can target them with a charge. You can target them with an AOE, have it auto-miss and scatter, luckily land on top of them anyway, and that will hit them.

Rules Clarification : Blind      (Edit) Blind prevents magic attacks. However spell-casters, spell slaves, etc can still cast non-offensive spells. Blind vs Eyeless Sight (Edit) If a model is Blinded, and then given Eyeless Sight, then that model ignores Blind ... but it is technically still Blinded. So if you somehow later lose Eyeless Sight (for instance walking out of the range of Menoth's Sight), it will immediately go back to suffering the effects of Blind. (Infernal Ruling) Also this means stuff that only works vs Blind models (ie Hidden Blade) will still trigger vs a "Was Blinded but then got Eyeless" model.

Rules Clarification : Stealth      (Edit) Stealth models are not invisible and you can target them - you'll just auto-miss most of the time. You can target them with a charge. You can target them with an AOE, have it auto-miss and scatter, luckily land on top of them anyway, and that will hit them.

Rules Clarification : Pathfinder      (Edit) Pathfinder (Edit) - Pathfinder does not apply to involuntary movement (pushes & slams). (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Blight Storm and/or Anatomical Precision and/or Affliction     (Edit) With an AOE, only the model directly hit by the AOE will take auto-damage, other models in the AOE take normal damage. You don't get auto-damage on stuff which isn't an attack, like Electro Leap and Flak Field. If someone is immune to damage, you can't trigger the auto-damage vs them. Because you never got a damage roll in the first place. (Infernal Ruling) When this ability is triggered by a spell (ie Blight Storm or Affliction) then that does not change the source of the damage to the caster, nor change the damage type to magical. It merely changes the result of a damage roll. (Infernal Ruling)
