Ashrigag, Eater of Souls (200 points)
+ 40 points Soulbolt


Ashrigag was once a ruler of a small kingdom on the edge of the old world. He was an evil, cruel man who killed for pleasure and never gave a thought to give mercy to anyone that defied him. A few attempts to rebel from the peasants were easily taken under control by Ashrigag's Obedient military. Rebels were slaughtered and peasants started to grow nervous, especially when the dead started to wander the streets. no-one knows if Ashrigag himself had studied the dark art of necromancy or if it was his pure evilness that woke the dead but eventually a man of higher athority heard and send a message to the emperor. The message told of the deeds of evil done by Ashrigag and his guards. the generals gathered an army to overtake the castle and kill Ashrigag. They succeded in overtaking the castle and killing Ashrigags militia but they did not succeed in killing the ruler himself. In the fight Ashrigag had gotten his lower arm cut off by the commanding officer of the raid, Ashrigags body was never found. He had escaped into his secret tunnel where his laboratory had been, his laboratory of death. He had risen a small amount of undead in this laboratory and had set them out on his kingdom, but the main purpose of this laboratory was to create his most prized of possessions, Soulbolt. this was a twisted evil weapon that could literary suck the life out of its victims. Unfortunately Ashrigag bled to death in his secret lab still clutching the cursed weapon in his had. The castled was looted and burned and soon Ashrigags skeletal body, fully armoured, was open to the light of day once more. months passed and soon a young man, no more then 20, came in search for corpses clutching a strange arabic book in his hand. He stumbled across Ashrigags body and thought that, even thought the missing arm was unfortunate, it would make a prize undead minion. As Ashrigag rose he started to remember the past, the overtaking of his castle and his death. he noticed that the boy had brought along Ashrigags weapon. The mispronounced incantations proved most unfortunate when the boy could not control his new minion. With one sweep of the monsters clawed hand he took the boys life. As he watched the boy slip away he picked up his weapon and touched it to the human, his life force drained into the cursed thing and then was propelled through the wall. After he connected the cursed weapon to miss "misplace" arm and gave it a name, Soulbolt. Ashrigag left and started to raise more undead with the boys book. This took Many months but he thought, "soon my imperial friends the day shall come when you will regret killing Ashrigag, Eater of Souls.

Soulbolt
At the beginning of a game roll a D6, this is how many soul counters Soulbolt starts out with. After Ashrigag has killed someone or something, put counters on Soulbolt equal to the amount of wounds he inflicted.
In any of the undead shooting phases Ashrigag may remove up to one counter from Soulbolt to shoot a bolt of pure life energy at an opposing model or unit. This bolt inflicts a d3 strength 5 hit on the target with no armour save allowed not even for magic armour. Each hit that wounds causes not 1 but a D3 wounds on the target. The Soulbolt counts as a wight blade in h-t-h combat, so cannot shoot (Ashrigag only).
