Battle​

Body Bags

Body Bags are moved in the same manner as a loot casket. However, due to their heavy nature the following applies:

  • The move loot casket action becomes basic rather than simple
  • models with the fly, Jump Boosters, Levitate, etc. or any similiar special rule, lose that ability while carrying a Bodybag.
Grinding it out

Any Body Bags that go into the grinder during your activation will earn that player Victory Points depending on how far into the Grinder it is. Body Bags that are thrown in at the edge earn 1 Victory Point, past the first Grinding Wheel earns 2 Victory Points, and between the 2 central Grinders earns 3 Victory Points. Also Body Bags are heavy so may only be dropped into the Grinder from above, however, if the fighter has the Hurl Skill, they may throw Body Bags into the grinder from below, However, this always earns 1 Victory Point when done this way.
