Bound Spell

Target one of your own Undead units within 12" of the Priest, even if engaged in combat. If the incantation is successful, warriors that have fallen rise again to fight for their king. The affected unit regains D3 wounds (or D3 wounds worth of models), up to the initial number of wounds on the model's profile or models in the unit. Tomb Guard regain D6 wounds worth of models rather than D3. Skeleton Warriors are easier to resurrect than other Undead, so two D6 may be rolled, and the highest dice roll is the number of wounds worth of models that is regained.

The unit may never have more wounds or models than it started the game with. This can effectively bring back models including Champions, Musicians and Standard Bearers) that have been killed if their unit still survives and the spell regenerates enough wounds. Any unit in the Tomb Kings army may be healed in this manner, including undead constructs and chariots. For example, the spell is cast on a unit of Ushabti that has already lost two models and another has suffered two wounds. The player rolls a 5, restoring three Wounds, so the wounded model is repaired (two Wounds) and one of the destroyed Ushabti is brought back with a single Wound.

The wounds must be healed in a strict order. First, any Champions will be healed/resurrected and then other command models. Once this has been done, any multiple wound rank and file models will be healed to their starting value, and then any remaining wounds can be used to resurrect destroyed rank and file models.

Rank and file models are added to the front rank until the front rank reaches at least four models. Then, additional models may be added to either the front rank or they can be added to create rear ranks. If the unit alreadv has more than one rank new models can only be added to rear ranks.

Characters must be nominated separately from a unit if they are to benefit from this incantation. If they are riding a chariot, the player must nominate whether it is the chariot or the character who is going to be healed. Any excess wounds that are not used are lost. In the same manner, war machine crew are nominated separately from any characters that have joined them and the war machine itself.

Models summoned back into a unit that is involved in combat do not count as charging, even if that unit charged into combat that turn.
