At the beginning of the game, you must nominate a single friendly Lord or Hero and make sure your opponent is aware which model you have nominated – this is the Slaughterbrute’s master. If you have more than one Slaughterbrute, you must nominate a different Lord or Hero for each Slaughterbrute – if you do not have enough Lords or Heroes for all your Slaughterbrutes, the remainder start the game Unbound. Whilst the Slaughterbrute’s master is alive, the Slaughterbrute uses that model’s current WS and LD instead of its own (unless it would normally be higher).
