4. Vermintide

Casting Value: 8+

Place the large round template in base contact with the caster. Move the template in a straight line 4D6" away from the caster. The template cannot cross impassable terrain or water features. All units touched by the template as it moves suffer 3D6 Strength 2 hits. The caster is never hit and a unit he is with is only hit if another of its models is touched by the template. The spell then disappears. This spell may be cast while the Wizard is in combat, however, no template is used. Instead choose a single enemy unit in base contact with the caster. Hits are distributed as per shooting.
