DESCRIPTION

I must apologize for the formatting. This will get sorted as the rules are refined and settle a bit more.This book follows in the tradition of Warhammer Armies and Ravening Hordes to provide rules for all of the major Warhammer factions. It includes army lists, references, allies rules, and chaos mutations for Khorne, Slannesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch, the Horned Rat, and Khaine. It is intended to work in tandem with Warhammer: an Old Grumbler's Rules. These rules are meant to focus on the early editions of Warhammer and cherry pick the very best rules. Though, they do draw extensively from a broad range of Warhammer rules.We lay no claim or ownership to the intellectual content as it is all registered intellectual property of Games Workshop.

Chaos Dwarf RulesArmor: Chaos Dwarves do not suffer from encumbrance

Chaos Dwarves are Chaotic Evil

Hobgoblin Rules

Animosity: such is their distrust of hobgoblins due to their treachery that other green skins will preferentially take their animosity against the nearest hobgoblin unit (at least within 2M or archer range) instead of other green skins, the inverse is true of the hobgoblins. Other green skins may not lead a unit of hobgoblins.

Panic: All green skins would like nothing more than to see hobgoblins suffer and flee. Consequently, other green skins will not panic at the sight of hobgoblins fleeing or breaking.

Page 10: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

Envelopment: Sneaky Gits, even if they lose the first round (but are not broken), may lap around with as many models as they see fit, so long as they are able to lap around they may not be pushed back. They break and route as per normal.

Hobgoblins are Evil

WarmachinesDEATH ROCKET9

1. Point in a direction2. Choose a number 1-12 and roll that many D63. Use a weighted scatter, doubles causes a misfire, otherwise continue

as normal. 4. Place the 1” radius template in the direction indicated by the

weighted scatter and the distance indicated by the dice, direct hits means the rocket goes in the direction the rocket is facing.

5. All models under the template take a S5 hit -2 armor6. Any unit suffering a casualty must take a panic test, cavalry,

monsters, and chariots take the test against their mounts’ unmodified Cl.

6. All models within 2D6” suffer the determined effect

Earth Shaker Misfire Chart

1 Boom! The round explodes within the Earth Shaker. Place the 2” radius template directly atop the Earth Shaker and resolve it as if it had struck there. Remove the warmachine as it is destroyed.

2 Too much powder! The Earth Shaker fires as normal scattering 12” directly away from the Earth Shaker. The Earth Shaker itself takes a hit of SS (strength equal to the strength of the warmachine itself.)

3 The Earth Shaker has overheated (ignore this result if this is the first shot fired) causing the powder to fire prematurely. The Earth Shaker fires as normal, except that it scatters 12” directly toward the Earth Shaker. The Earth Shaker permanently loses 2T.

4 Short Fuse! The fuse was short causing the round to detonate midflight. Place a 4” radius template D(distance guessed)” toward the target. That is, if you guessed a range of 31” you would roll a 31 sided die. Any model touched by the template is hit on a 5+ and takes a 5S blow -1 armor.

5 A crew man has injured himself (a random crewman takes a 4S hit.) The Earth Shaker does not fire this turn as they sort out what happened

6 The crew has made a routine mistake and must unload and reload the Earth Shaker. It does not fire this turn nor the next

Dark Elves

Team Rules Dark elves are either Order Evil or Chaotic Evil

HATE OTHER ELVES : Dark elves have hatred of all other elves

BEASTS : Don’t cause panic in fellow dark elves, not affected by cauldron of blood, no dark elf characters may join, do not use general’s Ld

KHAINITE : can’t be joined by non-khainite characters and are always chaotic evil and always worship Khaine.

SLAANESHI : Some Dark Elves deviate from the norm and follow Slaanesh instead of Khaine. When determining the number of chaos attributes each unit gets also determine if the unit follows Khaine or Slaanesh. This will affect which kinds of attributes they might receive. Units of opposing worship suffer animosity toward one another.

DARK INFLUENCE 10: characters have D6-3 chaos attributes, units have D6-4 chaos attributes.

N IGHT V IS ION 11: Plus 6” LOS at night

Allies: To Fight:Skaven High ElvesNippon Wood ElvesChaos Dwarves LizardmenChaos EmpireBeastmen BretonniaVampire Counts Fimir Ogres Orcs and Goblins

Cauldron of blood12: khainite units within 12”

replace their frenzy with autofrenzy and can’t lose it and gain +1 combat resolution and +2 Cl but -2 Ld as the witch elves become more determined but less orderly. A Cauldron of blood may be purchased for any Witch elf character +100 pts. It is accompanied by two standard witch elves. Up to 3 additional alter guards may be purchased. Alter guards may purchase additional gear as per the witch elf entry in the army list. The cauldron of blood may be moved (depending on your model) upwards of 5” per turn and may not charge or reserve move.

DWARVES

Dwarf Standard RulesSTURDY : Dwarves never suffer penalties for encumbrance

RESOLUTE : Dwarves may always reserve move

GRUDGES : Dwarves hate Goblinoids and have Animosity toward elves

PEOPLE OF STONE : All Dwarves have Magic Resistance 1 (6+ ward save against all magic)

GOLD FEVER : Dwarves will never willingly abandon gold. If there is a gold hoard on the field and the dwarves know of it and are personally tied to it, the Dwarves may not leave the field of battle except through rout. They are immune to panic and become subject to frenzy should an enemy model touch the gold. Test for frenzy immediately.

GearGROMRIL : 5pts 3 coverage and 3 thickness

DWARVEN ARQUEBUS 14: Same rules as a normal Arquebus, except at less than ½ range they get +1 to hit.

M IN ING P ICK 15: Mining picks are not designed for close-combat, but rather for splitting hard rock. Therefore the dwarf suffers -1 to hit, -3 initiative, and gains +3 strength and -2 armor penetration.

M INER ’S CAP 16: The models cannot have their LOS restricted to less than 12” but as a consequence they may also be seen. They may be used just like torches to start fires in buildings.

PAVIS 17: 5+ coverage, 1 thickness, benefit only applies against ranged fire, unit may use ranged weapons and pavis at the same time. May not countermarch.

RANGE F INDER 18: The Engineer may guess two distances and may choose the better one after measuring but before rolling artillery dice.

14 Dwarves 6th ed.15 This was sorta made up, but it is loosely based on the idea of “improvised weapons from warhammer 3rd ed, and that miners are supposed to have great weapons that smash through rock.16 Completely made up, except that the models have ‘em.17 This item appears regularly in Warhammer Ancients Age of Chivarly and it seemed appropriate to add it.18 Largely made up

Page 15: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

PERISCOPE 19: The Engineer gains LOS through one interposing blocker shorter than a cavalry-sized model. E.g. a line of infantry, a wall or a hedge.

RANGE MARKERS 20: Before deployment, the dwarf player reveals to the Gm that he/she has come to the field with range markers. Range markers are small signs or posts placed on the battle field with measured and known distances for the dwarves. Intuitively, these markers must be staked into the ground with ample time before the enemy arrives. As a consequence every unit in the dwarf army counts as having an M value of 0.” The advantage is that the dwarf player will know the distance from the range marker to where the engineer is deployed, allowing for more accurate fire. The GM need only tell the dwarf player the distance once. Markers can be removed by the enemy without penalty by models who come in base contact.

OATHSTONE :

No other character model may join the unit, other than a huscarl and the model possessing the stone; or a battle standard if the stone is possessed by your general.

The Character may place the stone as a charge reaction, immediately following a successful move to engage, or during the movement phase.

Once the stone is placed the following also apply If the unit flees the dwarf player loses the value of the

unit in Victory points, even if they subsequently rally21.

The Character with the stone must issue and accept challenges

The unit forms into an infantry square, place the stone in the center

The unit gains rank bonuses equal to its greatest dimension and foot print (e.g. a 3x4 square would get a total of 3 ranks, whereas a 4x4 would get 4, and a 2x3 or 3x3 would get none as no dimension is great enough to constitute a rank)

Any other dwarf unit in 12” gains +1 Cl so long as the square holds.

The unit gains an additional magic resistance (for a total of 5+ ward save).

BOOK OF GRUDGES : The General and the unit he/she is with gains hatred against the foe.

Shield Bearers: If your general has shield

bearers other units within 18” may use her/his Ld, and Cl modifiers, subordinate commanders may have their radius increased to 3D6”. Shield Bearers are a special class of infantry with the following stat line.

Unit Type M WS BS S T W I A Ld Int Cl

WP

Shield Bearer (2)

3 5 3 4 4 1 3 1 9 7 9 9

They wear gromril and carry hand weapons. If a shield bearer dies, another dwarf from the unit the character has joined may drop his/her shield and take up carrying the

shield. Against arcing fire the shield bearers benefit as if they had a large shield. Due to his/her height advantage a dwarf character atop shield bearers gains a +1 to hit. If there is one or no more shield bearers the character must abandon the oversized shield and walk.

Gyrocopters22

Fly Speed of 10”

Shooting hits are randomized 1-5 Gyrocopter, 6 Pilot.

Close combat hits are randomized as well 1-3 Gyrocopter, 4-6 Pilot

Armaments:

Bombs: The Pilot carries crude ceramic grenades which he may attempt to lob or drop from the gyrocopter. Place the 1” radius explosion template anywhere within 4” of the gyrocopter’s flight path that turn. Roll to hit including any range or movement modifiers. And scatter the template the distance that the pilot missed by. Any model touched by the template is hit on a 3+ and takes a 3S hit with a -2 armor modifier.

Steam Gun: May only be fired during the shooting phase. Place the flame template in front of the barrel of the gun. For each model touched by the template roll to hit using the Pilot’s BS. Each model hit takes a S3 hit -1 to armor.

Close Combat: In close combat the pilot may make attacks to the front and side. Before blows are struck any flyer or model over 10’ tall must pass an i test or be struck by the propellers. This is dangerous for both the gyrocopter and the unfortunate monster. The gyrocopter takes D3 hits of S equal to the monster’s T+1. And the monster takes D3 S6 hits. If the gyrocopter takes a single wound in this fashion it plummets to the ground.

Gear: Anvil guard are equipped with large shield, great weapon, hand weapon and gromril armor

Special Rules:

Immune to Psychology- the Anvil guard is immune to psychology

Ancestral heirloom: The anvils of doom were crafted in a bygone era, there are none left who carry the knowledge to make them anew. Consequently the loss of a single anvil would be an irreplaceable loss. The capture or destruction of an anvil is worth an additional 100 victory points.

19 Same… just thought it would add flavor and interesting tactical hi-jinx20 European armies were known to do this to increase the accuracy of their weapons, especially at distances greater than 200 yards.21 This is where one might imagine slayers come from.22 Largely made up, but they feel right.

Page 16: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

Randomize hits: hits are randomized just like shooting at a warmachine.

Strike Runes: Runes take a significant amount of preparation; the sigil must be shaped before it can be struck releasing its power. Consequently, runes are generally crafted before the battle so that they may be unleashed at the right moment. A player may buy runes from the list of sorcerous runes. Each rune may only be used once. However, if need be, runesmiths may craft new runes during a battle. This process requires 2 full magic phases to complete and may be cast on the third turn. To release a rune the runesmith must roll to hit the rune (Runesmith’s WS vs. the difficulty of the rune) if he/she strikes it the sorcery is released. Runes may be struck in the same phases as spells. A runesmith may strike as many runes as she/he has attacks each turn. Runic sorcery is effectively magic, however they may not be dispelled such is the absolute manner of Runes. At least no Dwarf has shared this lore to weavers of the magical winds. Magic resistance applies as normal.

The Empire

Gear of the EmpireHEAVY BREAST PLATE 26: Empire soldiers are typically equipped with thick cuirasses and breastplates designed to ward off black powder weapons. These heavy breast plates provide 1 coverage and 3 thickness but encumber like heavy armor.

FULL PLATE ARMOR +5PTS : 3 coverage, 3 thickness

HOCHLAND LONG RIFLE +10PTS

36” range 4 strength armor piercing like arquebus, move or fire, every other turn, may single targets out at -1 to hit (which is none cumulative for individual/skirmishing models)

May only be used by engineers

FUSILLADE AND CARACOLE2 7

Whilst charging, pistoliers may fire a single pistol, and enter the combat with a sword drawn. In the event that the horses are held at bay due to pikes, halberds, or spears, the pistoliers may opt to fire their second pistol (even against an opponent who is moving to engage)

In the event that a pistolier wishes to discharge two pistols in a single turn, the unit must initiate a “caracole” maneuver as their final maneuver for it’s movement phase. A Caracole is a complex maneuver. If the maneuver is passed the unit may fire both pistols during the shooting phase and reserve move.

FORESTER

Foresters count woods as open ground. Woods additionally offer them hard cover and act as a defended obstacle when charged.

REPEATING HANDGUN +7PTS :

Like arquebus, except 3 shots May only be used by engineers

26 This was largely made up, but it seemed appropriate that the Empire would employ armor designed to stop black powder weapons, just as humans did during the late 1400’s-1600’s27 People actually did this.

Page 19: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

REPEATER PISTOL +5PTS

Like pistol, except 3 shots May only be used by engineers

P IGEON BOMBS +10 PTS EACH2 8:

See 7th ed. Book May only be used by engineers

Volley Gun29

Has 3 sets of organ gun barrels, each of three. Each turn the volley gun may fire a set of three barrels, each of

which is fired at the same guessed range like a cannon and bounced individually.

Strength 5, range of 24”

The crew reloads 1 barrel each turn.

Steam Tank30

1. During the movement phase determine the number of steam points you wish to generate, 0-5. All steam points must be used this turn

2. A single steam point may be used to :1. Move 3” straight forward2. Move 2” backward3. Pivot up to 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise4. Fire the steam cannon (only once a turn)

3. Roll a d6, on a 6+ something bad has happened, roll a further d6 and add the number of steam points generated and consult the “Imperial Steam Tank Boiler Chart”

4. Otherwise you may use your steam points to move the steam tank.5. Any model that is in the Steam Tank’s path must pass an i test or

suffer a S7 hit. 6. The enemy may charge, move to engage or already be in base contact

with a steam tank. They may attempt to wound the tank. However, the tank is not obliged to stay in close combat and can simply putter away. It need never take a break test.

7. For each wound that the steam tank sustains add +1 to the first die roll in rule 1. above.

8. The commander is armed with a repeating handgun9. Steam tanks take psychology tests as normal. However, rather than

flee the engineer lowers the hatch and hunkers down; doing nothing for the entire turn. If steam points must be expended, they are used to get away.

Firing the Steam Cannon

Range 36” Str 6 Wounds d3, -4 armor modifier

The cannon is fired in the same manner as a normal cannon, except that it can only fire directly forward. Should the cannon misfire, roll a d6 and add the number of steam points generated this turn and consult the “Imperial Steam Tank Boiler Chart”

Magic:Empire Mages may use any color.

Afraid of fire

32 Most rule sets for warhammer make handguns just as expensive as crossbows and long bows, this is problematic. In editions of warhammer before 6th ed. hand guns fired every other turn, as they rightly should, but their cost often did not reflect this. Historically, gunpowder replaced arrows, not because of lethality, range, or accuracy (as long bows were certainly up the mark in all these regards) it was that arquebusiers were cheaper to train so a greater number could be brought to the field, simply out numbering traditional longbowmen who took a life time to train, if not many years. Consequently, handgunners are presented, with corners cut (WS -1, daggers, cheap handguns) to represent this.33 In Pike and Shot battle fields, swordsmen were often used to counter pikemen and needed to be maneuverable. Additionally, the Empire rulebooks routinely refer to the swordsmen as expert fencers, whom I would imagine to be much more adaptive and creative in their weapon use.

standards) Unless attached to a unit of Shore riders as a champion (lvl 3 or

lower) Sea elf characters may not ride horses.

High Elves VALOUR OF AGES 41: High elves may reroll failed

psychology tests when fighting dark elves Fight in 3 ranks42, High elves armed with spears may make

attacks from the 3rd rank in a similar manner to models in the 2nd rank

High Elves may have white, and Blue as primary colors and red, green, and black as secondary colors.

High Elves are Good Order

INTRIGUE 43: high elves are subject to byzantine intrigues and politicking. If your army contains one or more high elf characters, rank your characters in Ld order (highest to lowest) and roll a die. The result corresponds to the elf in order of Ld, that elf becomes your army’s general. If the die result is greater than the number of characters your army has or is a 6 you may choose your general.

ORACLE OF ASURYAN 44: At the Shrine of Asuryan Phoenix Guards come to know their ultimate fate, when they will die. For each model at the beginning of the game, roll a D3-1 and add up the total and record it for yourself and the GM. Each time that a phoenix guard model would die you may choose to prevent his death by expending one of these points.

Each point can only be used once. Poison toxin counters are removed if a toxin wound is prevented.

GearL ION CLOAK 45: 2 coverage no thickness, only effective against missile fire

ITHILMAR ARMOR 46: Cost of 3 ½ pts (1 1/2 pts more to replace light armor and ½ pts more to replace heavy armor) Provides a 5+ save but any blow that would normally pierce light armor also pierces ithilmar

armor, additionally it has the same encumbrance effect as light armor.

DRAGON ARMOR 47: Cost of 4 pts, heavy armor, and makes the model immune to fire attacks

Bonuses Points

37 Warhammer Rules 3rd ed.38 Warhammer Rules 3rd ed.39 Warhammer 3rd ed.40 The phalanx rule is derived from Warhammer ancients, but it seemed appropriate to differentiate the Sea Elves’ fighting style from the high elves, comparable to the “eternal guard” being differentiated in later editions.41 6 and 7th ed. high elf army books42 High elves 6th, 7, 8th ed.43 High Elves 6th ed44 This rule is largely derived from the Warhammer ancients rules for Greek Phalanxes wherein the player was allotted combat resolution points that could be added at will to represent the God’s favor. It seemed appropriate to combine this rule concept with the idea that they are meant to die at a certain time. 45 High Elves 6th, 7th and 8th ed. Though modifier to represent a hide save, as arrows would still pierce the cloak.46 Mordheim with some modification.47 High Elves 6th, 7th and 8th ed.48 The army organization is fairly arbitrary, though borrowed loosely from warhammer ancients wherein armies organization had categories like “cavalry,” “infantry,” “Auxiliaries,” and “Artillery.” The current setup has an interesting dynamic wherein a greater number of Kindred superiors results in fewer Characters, and more Sea elves results in fewer allies.

LizardMen

Saurus/Lizardmen RulesLizardmen are neutral Order

IMMUNE TO PANIC58: Lizardmen are immune to psychology; they never have to take panic tests, except in close combat. They do not take fear tests and pass any psychology test they must take, excluding WP test. They may not flee as a charge reaction.

Totem Warriors59

Due to their privileged position in society, no unit in the Lizardman army may declare a charge or move to engage until the highest ranking totem unit has either declared a charge, fought a round of combat or is dead. They may declare charges the same turn, so long as the higher ranking one declares it first. Additionally, no totem warrior unit may start the game with more models than a lesser totem warrior unit.

TOTEM H IERARCHY

Temple GuardEagle and Jaguar WarriorsAlligator Warriors

AQUATIC : some lizardmen have the ability to move through water features without penalty. They may not reserve move in water. They may not shoot whilst in water. Encumbrance still affects swimming movement. Additionally models with this rule may deploy as scouts in water features and may not be targeted by missile fire or charges until the unit attempting to shoot or charge them passes an intelligence test or the aquatic unit moves. They pretend to be logs.

EAGLE WARRIOR : Eagle warriors pursue 3dM and discount the lowest value

SACRED DUTY /SLANN : Where there is a Slann Mage and a temple guard regiment, the Slann mage must join the regiment.

During a battle the temple guard may not voluntarily leave the Slann mage.

The Slann mage may be placed in the front rank, the rear, in the center of a square formation or in the middle of the unit where he/she disrupts ranks.

Slann Mages upon Palanquins may see over temple guard and be seen. He/she is a large target

The Temple Guard carrying the palanquin occupy a 2”x2” platform and fight as if they were in a 2x2 formation.

Ranged 1- Palanquin, 2,3 – Temple Guard 4,5,6 Slann Mage Close combat, attacks may be made against the Slann mage but

against the temple guard’s Ws. Protecting the Slann is more important that maintaining rank

and file for the temple guard, temple guard will preferentially take on the role of palanquin bearer over standing in rank.

Due to their occupation holding the palanquin, each temple guard lifting the Slann loses an attack

The palanquin has a move value equal to the number of guard holding it, should it be reduced to the 0 the Slann may choose to walk.

Should a Slann have to walk he/she is reduced to a Lvl 1 mage and may only use Minor spells60

Level 6Slann Mages that are Lvl6 may have 6 minor spells and 4 Major spells

MagicSlann and Skink magic users may use White, Green, Blue as primary colors and red as a secondary color

Newts/Skinks/ChameleonsPOISONOUS IF EATEN :61 If a newt is slain by a model that would conceivably kill it by eating it then it suffers from a S5 toxin. Ghouls, Minotaurs, most large monsters, wolves, etc.

CAMOUFLAGE : Chameleons are adept hiders, enemies wishing to shoot or charge them must pass an int. test. Additionally they have no minimum deployment distance if deployed out of LOS or they may be placed more than 12” away from the enemy but within LOS. In either case outside of the opponent’s deployment zone.

StegadonRUNS AMOK62: A stegadon is not affected by the loss of its crew (though the crew can panic and direct the stegadon to safety,) though it will be frightened by taking wounds. A stegadon that suffers a quarter or more wounds in a single turn must take a panic test. In the event that the stegadon fails it will flee directly away from the source of harm moving onto or directly through any intervening units friend or foe. Any unit moved through in this way suffers impact hits as if it had been run into.

H IGH UP63: models in the Howdah may only be targeted by models 10” or taller or mounted or armed with pikes, halberds, or spears. Conversely models in the howdah may only attack models under 10” or not mounted if they have a spear, pike, or halberd.

GREAT BOW : The great bow that is carried on the back of a stegadon may only target models in the front arc of the stegadon and requires 2 skinks to man it. It follows the rules for a 2 man bolt thrower. 30” range S5 -2 to armor

DEY IZ SMALLER : Orcs and Goblins are unaffected by panicking friendly units of smaller stature (based on racial hierarchy)

Goblinoids can never be commanded/lead by a goblinoid of a lower tier with the exception of the general. Subordinate Commanders may only apply their Ld bonus to units of an equal or lower race.

Animosity69

WHEN NOT TO TEST

1. Enemy in 12” or charge reach (2M) and in LOS2. Hated Enemy in LOS3. Already in close combat due to animosity4. The unit has fewer than 5 goblinoid models5. The unit is fleeing or off the field6. Individual characters do not test, though they are

bound by the result of any unit they are in

TAKING THE TEST

1. During the compulsory phase roll a die for each Goblinoid unit (except black orcs.) If the result is a 5 or below all is well and you stop here.

2. On a 6+ consult the chart below.

Animosity Chart1. Get ‘Em!If you unit is armed with ranged weapons then it will halt for the turn and fire upon the nearest Goblinoid unit that had to take an animosity test. (e.g. they won’t shoot comrades that are fighting the enemy or are too small to test themselves.) Where two units are equidistant the unit will prefer the unit that is lowest on the hierarchy. If there is no acceptable target they will squabble instead.

If your unit is not armed with ranged weapons it will charge the nearest goblinoid unit that also had to test for animosity that turn and is in charge distance (2m”) If the nearest unit is outside of this range, they squabble instead.

2. Troops not armed with Pikes, Halberd or spears get at -1 to hit a giant72

3. Giants may climb castle walls or onto the second level of a building. A Giant may be blocked by its width of models (4 orc sized for example) in a similar manner to a model using a ladder. Climbing takes a full movement phase wherein the Giant started within 2” of the wall/building.73

4. Fall over: A giant must test to see if it falls over in any of the following situations:74

The giant is beat in close combat The Giant is fleeing during the compulsory movement

phase The Giant crosses an obstacle Right before the Giant decides to jump up and down on an

enemy

To see if the Giant falls over roll a D6. On a 1 she/he falls over. When the giant dies she/he falls over. Falling Giants take a S5 hit.

Scatter the direction and place the Giant template (use which ever template you prefer, esp if it matches your Giant model) All models touched must pass an initiative test or suffer a S5 hit, no armor.

Once on the ground a Giant may not make attacks, though she/he retains their WS of 3. It takes a full turn to stand back up. Naturally, a Giant may not pursue if on the ground.

5. Special Attacks, roll a d6 and consult the appropriate chart

Versus Big Things (Troll or bigger)

1 Yell and Bawl

2-4 Thump with Club

5-6 ‘Eadbutt

Versus Tiny Things (Cavalry or smaller)

1 Yell and Bawl

2 Jump Up and Down

3 Pick Up and…

4 Stomp and Grind

5-6 Swing with Club

Yell and Bawl: The combat stops after this “attack” and the Giant’s side wins the combat by 2d6.

Thump with Club: Target a single model in based contact. That model must pass an i test or suffer a single 8S hit -4 armor causing d6 wounds. If 6 wounds are caused the club is lodged in the ground and the giant may not attack the following turn.

‘Eadbutt: Target model takes a S6 hit causing d2 wounds, no armor. If the model is wounded it may either not attack this turn if it has not already, or it may not attack next turn if it has already attacked this turn.

Jump Up and Down: Test to fall. If pass causes 2d6 S5 -3 armor hits. Take a WP test, if the giant fails she/he must continue to jump up and down every turn until the unit is destroyed or routed. Units armed with pikes, halberds or spears are esp. dangerous to jumping giants. After inflicting hits against such a unit roll a d6. On a 6 the giant was pricked on a point and immediately flees from combat to console its toe. It may not be pursued. 75

Pick Up and…: Target a model in base contact. That model may make a single attack. If it wounds it is safe. Otherwise roll a d6

1 Stuff into bag: the model is now in the “bag” make a note.2 Throw back into combat: The model takes a S5 hit. The unit

takes d6 S3 hits.3 Hurl: The model takes a S5 hit. Target a random enemy unit

in 12” that unit takes d6 3 hits.74 Warhammer 8th ed. though really giants really haven’t changed much75 Warhammer 3rd ed.

4 Squash: the model is dead5 Eat: the model is dead. Take a WP test. If passed giant throws

victim (See 3.) If failed the giant munches away and will not pursue or follow up.

6 Pick another: the 1st victim is stuffed in the bag. The giant picks up another victim roll again to see what she/he does

Swing with Club: d6 S6 hits -3 armor.

Trolls

Special Rules

Smash Armor: the troll’s large club smack makes most armor irrelevant, Trolls’ attacks have a -2 armor modifier.

Fear: Trolls cause fear in models under 10’

Stupidity: Trolls suffer from stupidity (Ld test at beginning of each turn)

Regeneration: At the beginning of every turn any living troll that has suffered 1 or more wounds may regain a single wound on the roll of a 4+. Wounds caused by fire may not be regenerated in this manner.

Vomit: Trolls’ stomachs create some of the most caustic substance in the known world. Consequently, once per game a unit of trolls may elect to vomit upon the enemy. Each troll forfeits all of its profile attacks and instead automatically inflicts a single S5 hit with no armor save. Against character models roll for armor. If the armor saves it is destroyed. Roll a d6 for each other item the character has. On a 6 that item is destroyed. The character still takes a S5 hit. Destroyed weapons become improvised.

Thump Attack76: Trolls may elect to forego their usual attacks in favor of a single thump attack. -2a, +2Ws, +2 S, D3 W, -3 armor.

STONE TROLLS

Scaly Skin: Stone trolls have rough stony skin, giving them a 5+ coverage with a single thickness

Magic resistance: Rocks are intrinsically magic resistant and stone trolls’ diet which includes rocks helps them in this regard. They have magic resistance 2, meaning they will automatically disregard any magical attack or spell’s effects on the die result of a 5+.

R IVER TROLLS

River and Swamp strider: River trolls do not suffer movement penalties due to fresh water features, but may not reserve move through them.

Fanatics

Page 31: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

Up to 3 fanatics may hide in a single night goblin unit They stay there, hidden, until a non-flying enemy comes within 8”

whereupon they are immediately released. When released all movement on the board is momentarily paused,

the fanatics are immediately each moved 2d6” in predetermined directions

If they collide with a unit, move them 1” beyond that unit. The unit struck takes d6 S5 -2 armor hits

After the fanatics have made their initial move, unpause the other units and their controllers may opt whether to continue with their maneuvers or halt for that phase

During each subsequent compulsory phase each fanatic moves in a random direction 2d6” The roll of a doubles in these subsequent movements indicates that the fanatic has strangled himself or collapsed from exhaustion.

Collision with difficult terrain, linear obstacles, or buildings will also kill the fanatic. Buildings take d6 S5 hits.

A unit that moves through a fanatic takes hits as above. A unit that stops atop a fanatic takes an additional d6 hits and the fanatic is removed as a casualty.

Special Rules

Count as cavalry

To move, nominate a direction during the declare charges phase, they then move 3D6” in that direction during the move chargers phase. Any enemy unit they had LOS of at the beginning of the turn and are within that distance and direction are charged or if distance would put the unit directly on top of an enemy they could not see.

Squig hoppers ignore all terrain movement penalties even

impassable terrain, with the following caveat: they cannot cross water features (swamps, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers, oceans etc.) They may only cross such a feature if their move would put them on the far side meaning they just jumped right over it. If they otherwise fine themselves in a water feature they are removed as casualties.

Hoppers pursue like normal squigs, 2d6”

In the event that the squigs route from combat the riders are shaken off and it “pops” like loose squigs, see squig entry below

Special RulesSquigs: follow animal trainers in the 3rd ed. Book. With the following exceptions, Squigs and herders must be purchased in ratios of 3:2 though an excess of herders is fine, in the event the unit panics or the herders are all dead the unit “pops” like 6th ed. loose squigs, that is, each squig moves 2d6” in a weighted scatter direction. And they move in this manner each compulsory phase. If they land upon a model they make two attacks and immediately jump again, they may only be attacked back by models of higher initiative, weapons that provide initiative modifiers vs. flyers would benefit against squigs in this manner. After making their attacks, jump them in a weighted scatter direction again, continue this process until they don’t land on a model. If you roll doubles, remove the squig from play as they have exhausted themselves or simply “popped” from over stimulation.*Squigs pursue 2d6”80

80 Since animals pursue at a rate different than handlers, it seems implied that the squigs’ M of 4 reflects the herders’ movement, whereas we might infer that the 2d6” commonly referred reflects their actual movement

1. nominate target, 2. guess distance, 3. scatter as normal, (See Misfire chart in the event of a misfire

result on artillery die) 4. then move the template D6” toward the target point (this may

lead to overcompensation)5. place 1” radius template, model directly under take 6S D3

wounds -2 armor, otherwise all models even partially hit suffer 3S.

Doomdiver Misfire Chart

1. The giant slingshot is pulled back too far and snaps whipping through the air. The goblin crew take d6 S5 hits and the catapult is destroyed.

2. The ammo gobbo panics at the last moment scrambling to escape. Thwang! The doomdiver fires as normal, except that it is scattered twice, treats further rolls of misfire that turn as 12 and does not move d6” toward the target as he is somersaulting through the air.

3. Creeeek! The crew have winched the band back to far causing the frame to whine. The Doomdiver takes an 8S hit. If this would destroy the Doomdiver the crew takes d6 S5 hits.

4. Bounce! The goblin is launched nearly horizontally. Draw a line d6 x10” straight forward from the doomdiver, the first model/Unit/terrain in this line takes d6 S4 hits.

5. Whut! Itz ‘Iz Turn! Whether its a mishap with the machinery or confusion over who is the ammunition, the crew for the entire battery is caught up squabbling or running about confusedly.

6. Wild shot. The doomdiver fires in a random direction 6d x 10”, don’t scatter or adjust toward the target

Crew/Ammo: Doomdivers come with a finite crew and ammunition, each time a doomdiver catapult is fired remove one crew as a casualty. Consequently doomdivers may be purchased as batteries of multiple catapults that would all draw upon the same pool of goblin crew/ammunition. Obviously, a doomdiver may not fire himself, so a doomdiver catapult may not fire if it has a single crew man left, similarly doomdivers are affected by normal crew loss rules. In the event of the warmachine’s destruction the crew may either gun other orc and goblin warmachines or form into a regiment in their own right, though armed with only hand weapons. Use of Goblins as ammo can cause panic to the remaining doomdiver crew.

Panic: Doomdivers cause an automatic panic test to be taken by any goblin unit they hit

Special Rules:

TUNNELING TEAM :

After scouts are placed, place a “tunneling” marker.

Starting with the 2nd turn roll a die at the beginning of each compulsory phase. On a 4+ they emerge.

When they emerge, scatter the tunneling marker like a stone thrower. Place the leader on the marker, and all the other runners in the unit within Square root of the US” of the leader and within 1” of any other runner.

If a misfire was rolled consult the following chart

Tunneling Misfire Chart (Roll a d6)

1-2, Collapse! All the rats are buried in the ground, dead.

3, I think we’re there. Move the marker 3d6” toward the Skaven starting edge and deploy the runners

4, Just check to make sure! The Leader tentatively pokes his head out of the ground to make sure they have come up in the right spot, deploy the unit in a block of equal ranks and files, it may not charge this turn or reserve move

5, Are you sure these are our plans? The enemy player may place the marker anywhere on the board, deploy as normal.

6, I told you to turn left! The unit finds themselves in completely the wrong place and doesn’t show up at all

Where the marker was place on impassible terrain deploy the leader on the closest edge. Where they were deployed under an enemy place them in base contact as if they were charging, but also fighting from low ground.

Skirmish

Scout

Assassin GearSMOKE BOMBS

If the assassin breaks from combat, flees, or withdraws from combat the enemy must pass an initiative test in order to pursue him

97 Night runners in Warhammer armies 3rd ed were +1 Shock elites, but had nothing to distinguish them from black Skaven except gear differences. Here we followed the trend of later editions where they were not +1 Shock elites but had different gear and mobility98 Night runners have been featured both as skirmishers and as standard block infantry, this seemed like a reasonable compromise

Pestilens and nurgle take wound on 6, Each subsequent turn the bearer benefits from a -1 to hit from archery after 1st round of combat

DON ’T CAUSE PANIC : Other Skaven need not take a Panic test if a unit of giant rats panics

Animal handlers (See Old Grumblers Rules)

Poison Wind Globadier

99 Much discussion went into Plague monks, in the 3rd ed. Plague monks did not have frenzy, but they didn’t have any other rules either. One got them presumably because they allowed for the purchase of banners. In later editions they had frenzy and additional hand weapons. We opted to make them plagued to represent their role in spreading diseases to humanity and civilization, We also considered having them generate magic dice like Horrors of Tzeentch…. Lots of ideas

POISON W IND GLOBES :

1. Range 8”. 2. Place a 1" radius temp anywhere within 8”3. scatter the template D3” 4. A natural result of 6 is a misfire. 5. In the event of a misfire place the template directly above the

globadier, the globadier is automatically hit. 6. Any model under the template is hit on a 4+. 7. Any model hit takes a wound on a 4+, globadiers, due to their

protective gear, take a wound on a 6+. 8. Poison wind globes also act as soft cover against any ranged

weapons fired through it. To enhance this potential cover, poison wind globadiers always shoot first, regardless of turn order. To keep track, keep the templates where they land.

GLOBADIER DEPLOYMENT : May be deployed either as a pair attached to a friendly unit, just like a normal weapons team, or as a unit unto themselves of sizes between 5 and 10.

MOVEMENT

The Doomwheel moves during the move chargers phase. Otherwise treat the doomwheel like a light chariot with a randomly determined move distance of 3d6” but may not reserve move. Doomwheels move at half rate up hill and double rate downhill.

WARP-L IGHTNING

During the shooting phase the doomwheel may release three bolts of warplightning. If the engineer is still alive you may decline to release thee bolts. All three bolts have strength equal to the same artillery die roll. However each has a different range of 3d6” Bolts automatically hit. If several targets are equidistant away (within 1” margin of error, or in base contact, strike the model with the greatest total armor thickness) Models receive no armor save and suffer d6 wounds. If a MISFIRE was rolled consult the chart below

1-2 Backblast! The rats suffer d3 S3 hits. If the warpstone generator was struck in close combat the striking model takes d3 s3 hits no armor

3-4 Damaged. The warpstone generator is damaged and will hence forth generate 1 less bolt

5-6 Out of control! The stern wheel is temporarily jammed by a stray flare of warp lightning. The doomwheel moves in a random direction next turn. In subsequent turns it moves as normal.

CRUSHING THINGS

When the doomwheel runs into something it causes d6+2 impact hits at S7 -6 armor. The doomwheel may penetrate ranks like a wedge if it kills sufficient models between it and the rear of the unit to clear an entire path wide enough for the model. In subsequent rounds of combat the wheel does only d3 impact hits

CREW ATTACKS

As per normal, the doomwheel’s crew and animals may attack in close combat. Note that the engineer is high up, so he may only attack down with a pistol or other long weapon, and conversely may only be attacked by models over 10’ tall or wielding spears, halberds, or pikes

Doomwheels are fought in the same manner as chariots. That is, hits in close combat and ranged are randomized.

DAMAGE TO THE PARTS

Engineer

The doomwheel will go in a random direction every turn, roll a scatter die and it goes in a straight line. The warp-lightning bolts are released each turn if able

The Wheels

If the wheels are destroyed the whole doomwheel is smashed to pieces, the crew perish as well

Warpstone Generartor

For each wound suffered by the generator roll on the misfire chart.

The Rats

The movement of the wheel slows by d6” for every 2 wounds suffered by the rats. If all the rats are dead the doomwheel cannot move nor generate power

OTHER

The doomwheel flees and pursues 3d6

L IGHTNING FIELD

Any spell cast at or within 6” of the doomwheel is automatically dispelled on a 4+, a magic user within 6” must on a single die roll less than their magic level if they wish to cast a spell

The rats are immune to psychology and otherwise bound to the psychology of the engineer above should he alter the controls

Large Target

Fear 6”

Warpfire thrower

F IR ING THE WARPFIRE THROWER

1. Point the crew in the correct direction or nominate a target as per shooting rules

2. Place the flame template with the narrow end at the end of the barrel and in the direction of the target

3. Roll an artillery die and move the template that many dice forwards

4. Any model touched by the template takes a flaming S5 hit causing d3 wounds with a -2 armor penalty

5. If the die result was a misfire consult the misfire chart6. Any unit suffering a casualty must take a panic test7. May stand and fire

WARPFIRE M ISF IRE CHART

1-2 Kaboom! The crew is annihilated in a mushroom cloud of flame, any model within d3+1” are also hit as if by the warpfire thrower

3-4 Fuel Catches Fire! The model with the barrels runs 2d4” in a random direction. At which point the barrels explode harming everyone within d3”.

5-6 Blockage! Fuel squirts onto the crew. Work out damage as if the crew had hit themselves with the warpfire thrower

OTHER RULES

ENCUMBRANCE

The weapon is heavy and counts as 2 thickness (note its not armor) encumbering like a suit of heavy armor.

LOSS OF CREW

By him/herself an individual Skaven cannot operate a warpfirethrower. If the crew suffers a casualty the weapon is effectively useless, the crew may hide in a friendly regiment they were attached to, or if party of a company of such weapons teams may stick around and join another team should the odd crew die.

FLEEING

The fuel is extremely volatile. Should the crew flee farther than 5” for any reason they explode in the same manner as the 3-4 result on the misfire chart.

Warp Lightning Cannon

Page 43: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

F IRE THE WARP-L IGHTNING CANNON

1. Nominate a target point in LOS (mark with a die/coin/token/chit/what-have-you)

2. Guess/estimate/reason/fathom/reckon a distance within 36”

3. Roll to hit using the leader’s Bs factoring in all to hit modifiers (range modifiers are based on the range of the gun)

4. If you miss the GM will move the target marker to the left or right, perpendicular to the line of fire of the cannon, a number of inches equal to how much you missed by.

5. Measure out the distance you guessed toward the marker and roll the artillery die. If the result is a misfire roll a D6 and consult the chart below. If not add the result in inches to your guess from before.

6. Then roll the artillery die again, this result represents the bounce of the lightning arc and the strength of the hit. Add this distance to the guess and the previous extra distance. Any model that is overlapped by the “bounce” is hit. A misfire for the second artillery die, means that the arc did not bounce and dissipated or grounded into the earth.

7. Finally, at the end of the “bounce” place the 1.5” radius template to represent the “crackle” of the energy blast. Any model touched by this last template is also hit.

Warp-lightning Misfire Chart

1-2 Meltdown. The cannon explodes in a green fireball. Sabotage perhaps?

3-4 Energy overload. The gun is sent reeling by all the energy whirling about within. Roll a scatter die and turn the cannon to face in the indicated direction. Every model in a line 4d6” long and terminating in a 2.5” radius template is struck with S10

5-6 Spluttering Fizzle. The gun wheezes out a black green plume of smoke but otherwise does nothing this turn.

Ratling Gun

Range 15”, Strength 4, -2 armor, Move-or-fire

F IR ING THE RATLING GUN

1. Declare a target as per normal shooting restricitons2. Roll a die, this result is the number of shots fired3. You may opt to roll another die and add the result to the first4. This process may be continued as rolling as many dice as the user

likes. However any doubles with previous dice will constitute a misfire; consult the chart below based on the number of the doubles

5. Barring a misfire, determine if the target is in range. If they are roll to hit as normal ignoring multiple shots penalties.

RATLING GUN MISFIRE CHART

Double 1 or 2, Jammed! The pump powering the firing mechanism loses pressure before the crew can fire. No shots are fired this turn.

Double 3 or 4, Whoops! The steam pump controls malfunction and a cloud of green steam surrounds the crew as the gun spins around wildly. Roll the scatter die – all the shots (including those rolled that caused the misfire) are fired in the direction shown by the arrow and target the first unit in LOS and range. Roll the hit.

Double 5 or 6, Blam! The weapon builds up excessive pressure and the release mechanism locks shut. No shots are fired this turn, the weapon explodes and the crew is torn to shreds.

Ratling guns may stand and fire

Vermin Lord Greater Daemon of the Horned Rat

Page 44: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

Special Rules

Vermin Lords follow all of the rules for Greater Daemons found in the Magical Creature Bestiary, reproduced here for convenience

OTHERWORLDLY CREATURES :

Daemons are otherworldly entities existing on a separate plane from mortal beings. Consequently they benefit from a 3+ ward save versus mundane weapons and attacks

All attacks made by daemons are magical

DAEMON PSYCHOLOGY :

Daemons are immune to psychology except tests induced by equal or greater deamons

Greater Daemons cause fear 12” to all things

When a daemon would normally take a panic or break test, roll as normal using WP instead of Cl. If the daemon would normally fail instead the unit takes wounds distributed as per missile fire equal in number to how much it failed the test, no armor/ward save.

Large Target

DOOM GLAIVE : wounds from the Vermin Lord cause d3 wounds

Vermin Lords are lvl 4 and may use either black-red or black-green

May not be the general or subcommander

Screaming Bell

MOVEMENT

The bell has an M value equal the half the rats pushing it (in base contact) to a maximum of 5”. The bell moves like a heavy chariot. It may wheel and charge with unit, but it may not turn or march. The Bell takes damage going through obstacles and rough terrain in the same manner as a chariot. Screaming bells are placed in the middle of the front rank like a standard bearer. Unless the Skaven unit is at least 4 models wide on either side of the screaming bell, the bell effectively nullifies any rank bonuses for the unit pushing it.

F IGHTING THE BELL

The bell is large enough that it may be singled out by ranged fire. Otherwise shooting and close-combat against the Screaming bell is comparable to fight a chariot.

Shooting Close Combat

1 Grey Seer 1-2 Grey Seer2-3 Bell Carriage 3-4 Bell Carriage4-5 Screaming Bell 5 Screaming Bell6 Striker 6 Striker

If the bell is struck by S6 or greater it immediately counts as being struck out of sequence roll immediately.

On the charge the bell causes d6 S6 impact hits and the grey seer and striker may both participate in close combat. Depending on your screaming bell model, the Grey seer maybe gain 360 LOS from an elevated position so that he can see over interposing terrain and models (within reason)Though they are a template weapon, a cannon will only hit one part of the screaming bell and should be randomized like other ranged weapons.

FLEEING AND PURSUING .

Should the pushing unit flee they abandon the bell, note that the grey seer and striker are unbreakable and will stay with bell. In pursuit the skaven push the bell at their pursuit speed with only a reduction of speed should their number fall below 10 pushers.

Assassin Rules May be surreptitiously deployed in a friendly Skaven infantry unit at

the beginning of the game. (Make a note) The assassin remains hidden unless he/she attacks either at range or

in close combat or chooses to leave the unit or there are fewer than 5 models in the unit.

Once revealed the Assassin replaces a rank and file model anywhere in the unit of the controlling player’s choice.

Units may not use her/his Ld, Int, Cl, or Wp. If she/he is in a unit that breaks or flees they must flee with that unit. May be deployed individually as a scout

The Realm of BretonniaBretonnians are Good order

Magic: Bretonnians may use white, green, blue.The Blessing of the Lady100

The Lady of the Lake is the Patron Goddess of the Bretonnian people. In battle she protects the righteous from harm. Before the battle starts, after deployment, but before turn order has been established, the Bretonnian player may decide to pray for the protection of the lady. If he does then on the first turn his soldiers (excluding allies) may not move as they must pray to the lady. In subsequent turns, models with the knight’s vow gain a 5+ ward save against missile and magical attacks. If a model flees or refuses a challenge it loses the favor of the lady and consequently the 5+ ward save.

Allies: May ally with Halflings, Old Worlders, and Wood elves to

fight chaotic or Evil foes

Mercenaries: Half Orcs, Ogres, dwarves, norse, old

worlders

Knightly Virtues: Bretonnian martial society is largely

defined by a hierarchy of pledges and oaths. These oaths are a series obligations, reciprocal relationships and ideological tendencies that ultimately manifest on the battle field in various ways. What follows is a series of virtues or vows that are taken during a knight’s life in order and are cumulative.

THE KNIGHT’S VOW101

A Knight of Bretonnia may not use a ranged weapon under any circumstance. Additionally, such is their disdain for cowardly bows and firearms that kill a man at distance, Knights hate any enemy model that carries a missile weapon.

A knight shall always accept a duel. If a knight of Bretonnia refuses a challenge, he has forfeited his family’s honor. You automatically lose that model’s victory points regardless if he should fall in battle. Additionally, the unit he is with may no longer use his Ld or coolness modifier.

Models with the Knight’s Vow look upon the lower classes with contempt. They do not suffer any psychology imposed by fleeing or otherwise models with the peasant’s duty rule.

No knight unit may be joined by a model with a lower vow.

QUESTING VOW

Models with the Questing Vow may not use a lance of any kind. (Grail knights are not bound to this restriction)

An army bearing Questing knights must also have a baggage train in order to sustain the knights on the constant trek

Questing knights may reroll any failed coolness, WillPower, or Leadership test.

GRAIL VOW

Models with the Grail Vow always begin the game with the blessing of the Lady

They are also immune to Psychology They make magical attacks may issue and accept challenges as if they were all hero models.

Peasant’s DutyUltimately Peasants are the very feet upon which Bretonnia stands; though this would never be admitted by the aristocracy, believing themselves superior both morally and physically. Strangely enough, the ruling class has convinced the peasants of the truth of their worldview. Consequently, models with the Peasant’s duty may use the Leadership of any model with the Knight’s Vow within 6”

Additionally, if the army contains a baggage train, it must contain a unit of peasants.102

Captured standards from peasants do not confer victory points; neither may they claim victory points for banners they capture

No unit of Peasants may be led by a Bretonnian hero (Magic users, on the other hand, may) of level 3 or greater.103

Other Special RulesIMPETUOUS : Young nobles of Bretonnia are so eager to prove themselves and earn their knighthood that they will often throw themselves at the enemy. After charges have been declared by both sides, if an enemy is within 2M” of the knights errant, they must pass a Cl test in order to restrain themselves from charging the enemy. If the unit fails and charges they become immune to psychology for the duration of the turn.

FLYING CAVALRY : Models with this rule get benefits for both being cavalry and flying. That is, they act as flyers, but also gain a standard cavalry save, have 2 unit strength, and are affected by spells that would normally affect cavalry or flyers. Also as armor is quite weighty, and flying with it of even greater burden, encumbrance modifiers are

doubled on a Pegasus inflight. So a Pegasus knight wearing heavy armor and shield would have a fly move of 22”

GRAIL RELIQUE : The relique acts as a single model though actually composed of 4 models. For all intents and purposes it is both a standard bearer and musician and must be placed in the front rank accordingly. Additionally, wounds that would be allocated against it are instead resolved against the remainder of the unit as another man rushes to fill the place. The armor of the relique bearers is the same as rank and file members in the unit. Also the unit benefits from the blessing of the lady, if the player opted to pray.104

4MAN CATAPULT :

Min Range: 14” Max range:64” , 1” template, S6, D4+1 wounds, -3 armor.

DEFENSIVE STAKES : 105 Professional Bretonnian bowmen can lay down defensive stakes before a battle to offer a level of protection. Set up the stakes at the start of the game when the unit is deployed. For deployment order purposes the unit counts as having movement 0”. Every model in the front rank has a stake base placed in front of it. The stakes must be placed in the deployment zone too. If the unit makes any move the stakes are removed. Enemy units charging the bowmen measure to the front of the stakes, all other measurements are to the peasants themselves. No unit gains any charge bonus when they charge the unit’s front.

Tomb KingsTomb Kings are Neutral Order

MagicLiche Priests of the tomb Kings use Black and White Magic, tomb kings are neutral in disposition, though vengeful upon any who enter their realm uninvited.

HierophantTomb Kings Armies are supported by a hierarchy of priests. At the head of this hierarchy is the Hierophant responsible for sustaining each particular army group. Before the battle you must elect from your higher most ranking liches to be the hierophant. All undead units in play and not lead but a lich or Tomb lord may use his/her Ld, Cl, Int, and WP. In the event of this model’s death, at the beginning of each tomb king compulsory phase each unit takes a WP test, if failed the unit suffers wounds equal to how much it failed the test by.

Tomb LordsTomb Princes, Kings and Pharaohs

C U R S E

the model/unit/units responsible for the death of a tomb lord must pass a WP test or take wounds equal to how much it failed by.

FEAR

Due to their incantations and being sustained beyond the expiration of their physical bodies, Tomb Lords cause fear in living creatures. However, due to the presence and wherewithal of the

Page 50: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

soul still inhabiting the husk of a body, Tomb lords are still subject to fear themselves.

MY W ILL BE DONE

Any unit joined by a tomb lord may use his Ld, Cl, Int, and WP instead of the Hierophant. during the movement phase you may declare a charge with that unit. Take a WP test, if it is passed the unit may charge like a normal unit. During close combat you may take a WP test, if passed the unit gains +1 WSDuring the shooting phase, you may take a WP test, if passed the unit gains +1 BSDuring the Reserve Move phase, you make take a WP test, if passed the unit may make a reserve move if a normal regiment would be able to.

MAGICALLY SUSTAINED

Tomb Lords are sustained by magical incantations, magical attacks weaken these incantations, any wound suffered by a magical attack is doubled.

Undeath Unless magically compelled, the undead may not reserve

move or charge though they may move to engage. Undead Cavalry may charge.

Undead have no sense of self-preservation and are consequently unbreakable; they may not opt to flee under any circumstance including magic nor may they be pushed back except by magic

The Undead are immune to poisons, diseases, suffocation, thirst, starvation, cold, and heat (though not ice/cold magic and heat/fire magic.) As you may have surmised, yes, the undead can walk underwater through water features. Note that Tomb Lords and Liches are not technically undead, they still have the wherewithal and survival instincts of the living, though they too are immune to these mortal banes.

All Undead models cause fear in living creatures regardless of size.

When a unit would normally take a panic or break test, roll as normal. If the unit would normally fail instead the unit takes wounds distributed as per missile fire equal in number to how much it failed the test, no armor saves, though ward saves may be taken as normal.

Undead use the Leadership, Coolness, Intelligence, and Will power of the controlling Hierophant, Liche Priest, or Tomb Lord

The undead may always choose not to pursue

It came from BelowTomb Swarms and Tomb Scorpions need not be deployed at the beginning of the game. Instead they may lie in wait below the ground. After scouts have been deployed place a marker for the unit. During the compulsory phase roll a die for each burrowed unit to see if they emerge.

Turn ResultFirst Turn N/ASecond Turn 4+ to emergeThird Turn 3+ to emergeFourth Turn 2+ to emergeFifith Turn Emerge Automatically

When the creature(s) emerge scatter the marker with an artillery die. Then replace the marker with the creature and all other creatures in the unit within 2”. The creatures may then act and move as normally including charging.

If the marker ends up beneath impassable terrain or under a unit place the creatures on the closest edge. If it was an enemy unit they count as having charged.

If a misfire was rolled consult the following chart

1-2: Magic DissipatedThe energy that awakens these creatures dissipates. The creatures are destroyed and the enemy may claim victory points.

3-4: Too DeepThe creatures are unable to surface in time for the battle, however the enemy does not get victory points.

5-6: MissalignedYour opponent may place the marker anywhere on the battlefield and deploy the emerging unit.

The casket of souls is guarded by two tomb guards with great kopeshes.

Using the Casket of Souls: During the magic phase you may attempt to use the casket of souls by expending magic dice just like you would to cast a spell. The casket is successfully activated on a threshold of 24. If cast, all enemy or allied models with LOS to the caster must take a WP test. If they fail they immediately suffer 1 wound that cannot be regenerated or saved by armor, ward saves apply as normal.

Vampire CountsVampire Counts are Evil neutral

MagicVampires and Necromancers use Black Magic. And may use Green, Red, and white as

secondary colors.

HierophantLike their Tomb King progenitors Vampire Count armies are magically sustained by a

central figurehead. The Vampire Counts’ general fulfills this role. All undead units in

play and not lead but a character model may use his/her Ld, Cl, Int, and WP. In the

event of this model’s death, at the beginning of each Vampire Count compulsory phase

each unit takes a WP test, if failed the unit suffers wounds equal to how much it failed

the test by.

Undeath Unless magically compelled, the undead may not reserve move or charge

though they may move to engage. Undead cavalry may charge. Undead have no sense of self-preservation and are consequently

unbreakable; they may not opt to flee under any circumstance including magic nor may they be pushed back except by magic

The Undead are immune to poisons, diseases, suffocation, thirst, starvation, cold, and heat (though not ice/cold magic and heat/fire magic.) As you may have surmised, yes, the undead can walk underwater through water features.

All Undead models cause fear in living creatures regardless of size. When a unit would normally take a panic or break test, roll as normal. If the

unit would normally fail instead the unit takes wounds distributed as per missile fire equal in number to how much it failed the test, no armor saves, though ward saves may be taken as normal.

Undead use the Leadership, Coolness, Intelligence, and Will power of the controlling General, or character model in their unit.

Ethereal May pass through terrain without penalty. The only exception to this are

linear obstacles and houses. These objects were created with the intentionality of safety and protection. Ethereal beings may not cross the threshold of a house unless the door is already open and may not cross linear obstacles. Nor may ethereal beings harm these obstacles.

May not cross water May not be hurt by mundane attacks Afraid of fire and light Ethereal creatures will suffer casualties for failed WP tests like other

undead unless they are within a bound location. This should not apply to most games as they will be summoned to fight for an undead army. However, should the Gm see fit, they may protect a site that they are bound to, for example their burial mound, or an ancient hoard of treasure/weapons, or a place they were sworn to protect in life.

Wolves and batsWolves and Bats do not normally participate in pitched battles between embittered foes.

Rather they must be magically compelled. If the general dies they must take a monster

reaction test and act accordingly. Note that wolves also being undead will

simultaneously crumble in addition to their reaction.

GhoulsGhouls are the remains of depraved and ravenous men driven mad by cannibalism and

ousted from civilized company. To sate their appetite they lurk in shadows and

opportunistically bound on hapless foes. Consequently they are vicious but ultimately

cowardly creatures. The following rules are intended to represent this behavior:

If beaten in close combat they automatically break, If the enemy breaks from combat Ghouls will not pursue. Instead they will

feast on the fallen. They count as unformed whilst feeding. Ghouls live to feed on fresh meat but they will stop under the following

circumstances:1. They are charged by the enemy

2. The enemy is within 12" at the beginning of the compulsory phase, roll a D6 on a 4+ they have the wherewithal to stop and immediately conduct a reform maneuver

Wights semi-ethereal, Wights occupy a spiritual place between animated

skeletons and geists. Consequently, they obey all rules for ethereal except they are vulnerable to mundane attacks like skeletons.

Wight Blade: Magical attack, killing blow.

BansheeHowl: 8” range causes 2d6+2-WP wounds, models immune to psychology/unbreakable

may ignore the effects of this ability. Against warmachines divide the hits randomly as

per shooting and ignore any that strike the warmachine/chariot itself. Buildings and

terrain are immune. In certain situations where hearing might be restricted the GM may

apply modifiers, e.g. howling wind might cancel it out, or snow might dampen the range

whereas a tunnel or cave might amplify it..

Additionally the wood elf player may replace any single terrain during the terrain placement process with a wood.EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP 109: wood elven longbows may fire 36” instead of 30”MEEK 110: Wood elves suffer double the effects of encumbrance and may never have toughness greater than 3, unless magically induced.

Wood Elves are good Neutral

Particular RulesFEIGNED FLIGHT 111: This is the same as the voluntary withdrawal from close combat, with the exception that they need not take a Ld, though they still automatically rout if caught. This ability may not be used if the unit is engaged to its flank or rear.

POUNCE ATTACK 112: if the model charged and has double the initiative of the target it may double its attacks for the first round of combat.

BARK ARMORS1 1 3

Dryads have a 4+ save due to their bark, though it can be pierced by any strength attack.Treemen also have a 4+ save due to their bark, however, it may only be pierced by attacks that would normally be able to pierce a shield.

TRAPS1 1 4 2PTS

Some wood elves are cunning and are able to deploy traps in a combat setting. A trap may only be placed once and activated once. To place a trap the unit must remain stationary for an entire turn and may not move. A model may only be equipped to carry a single trap. During the movement phase place a 20mm square token next to a model laying a trap. Any model that moves over a trap activates it on a d6 result of 6; 5 or 6 if the trap was placed in a wood, scrub, hedge or other cunning place. A model that activates a trap takes a S4 hit with no armor save.

WardancersImmune to psychologyTALISMANIC WAR PAINT : 5+ magic resistanceDANCES : choose a different dance at the beginning of each turn.Whirling Death: +1AWoven Mist: Enemy suffers -1 to hit

Darting waltz115: the wardancers gain +2i and +1MTaunting performance: the wardancers taunt a single enemy unit within 2M”. that unit must pass a Cl test or charge the wardancers. If the unit is out of that range and has ranged weapons it will also take a Cl test or shoot the wardancers with a +1 to hit due to the wardancers making themselves an easy target.

Vanishing footsteps: if a portion of the unit is hidden from LOS of the targeting enemy or behind cover, it counts as hidden and may only be targeted if the enemy passes an initiative test. Sideswipe: the wardancer unit forms into a snake. This snake can move along the sides of enemy regiments (within an inch.) Both the wardancers and the unit may exchange blows. These attacks contribute to combat resolution, with the following exceptions: no flank charge is awarded, and the wardancers are free to continue moving during the reserve phase and subsequent turns/phases as if it were not engaged in combat. Though, while blows are exchanged missile fire should be randomized between the two units due to their proximity.Declare that the unit is performing this maneuver during the charge phase and treat the unit as if it had declared a charge. The Unit only pulls of the side swipe if it gets the charge, otherwise it is charged as normal.

WaywatchersHide116: the unit must elect that it is hiding and must be contained within a wooded feature. The waywatchers then may not move. They may only be targeted by your opponent after passing an initiative test. Waywatchers charge at half rate distance when hidden but gain an additional +1 to hit.

Treemen/womenWhen a treeman/woman dies roll a die. On a 6 nothing happens as he/she is too rooted into the ground to collapse. Any other result, scatter and place the treeman template at his/her feet. Any model covered must pass an i test or takes a 6S hit -3 armor. Rooted to the spot117

DryadsDifferent types of Dryads118

As one might imagine there is a great variety to the number of trees that a forest spirit may choose to inhabit and that these different trees would have different properties. Dryads collectively as a unit may choose a single tree type or none at all.Ash: +1A Oak: +1S +1TWillow: -1 to being hit in close combatApple: +25 victory points each after the game.Yew: 1S toxin, Poisonous if eaten, any model that would conceivably bite or eat a dryad to kill it takes a 3S Toxin. Esp herbivores.Pine: After the battle a single unit affected by a poison or disease may be healed, preventing the enemy from gaining those victory points. Similarly in game, during the movement phase the dryads may move into base contact with a friendly unit. So long as neither unit does any other action that turn they may remove their poison counters.

This seemed a bit odd and made them a bit over powered… besides branches that inflicted a S4 hit seemed questionable, bearing in mind that getting stabbed is S3. Further note, linguistically, the word dryad refers to a spirit that has possessed an oak tree specifically.

Page 57: Ravening Hordes: An Old Grumbler's Rules

Standard Allies Rules Unless Allies hate the enemy they suffer from -1 Cl for rout and panic

tests129 This represents them having less of an investment in the battle.

Allied forces are armies in their own right and consequently must fulfill the requirements for army organization. They must be composed, at minimum, of a general and a single core unit

The ally contingent general’s Ld, and Cl modifier only applies to forces from the ally contingent. Similarly, allied troops do not benefit from the main army general.

Standard Mercenary Rules Mercenary contingents must fulfil all criterion of an army, they must

meet all requirements for unit types and sizes and must include a general. Or, the contingent may be a single unit of any sort and a general.

Your army must have a baggage train if able If the mercenary contingent becomes aware that the main general

was slain roll a die and add the following modifiers+1 if the mercenary commander has been slain+1 if a baggage train is in 12” +1 if the friendly table edge is within 12” If the result is a 6 or more the mercenaries will finish any

engagement they are currently fighting and move as quickly as possible toward the table edge. They will only shoot if shot at and if it does not impede their hasty withdrawal. They will not engage or fight anyone unless charged or attacked. If they come within 12” of a baggage train they will attempt to kill the defenders, sack the contents and leave the next turn.

On a 6 or less they continue to fight as normal.

Mercenary Professionalism Mercenaries automatically pass any test to restrain pursuit. In close combat Mercenaries get +1 Cl and +1 Ld when rallying or

routing. If the enemy outnumbers your mercenaries by at least 2:1 and they

push them back, they may “offer terms.” When terms are offered, the combat comes to an immediate halt and neither unit may move that turn. The terms are that the mercenary unit will leave the battle field, taking no further part in the battle. In return they will not be attacked and will be allowed to leave unmolested. To determine if the mercenaries accept roll a die and add [(US of enemy/US of Mercs)-2] if the result is 6 or more the Mercenaries have accepted the terms and withdraw. Terms cannot be offered if either party hates the other.

Hiring Mercenaries is intrinsically cheaper than training, and arming one’s own citizenry. To represent this Mercenary contingents cost

15% less. Any Race/army/force that could be chosen as an ally may be hired as a mercenary.

After the battle Mercenary units demand payment, the player hiring mercenaries loses the full value of each mercenary unit that survives that battle. However, a player cannot gain victory points for killing mercenaries. This rule is void, if the killing of the mercenaries is important to determining victory points due to an outside consideration e.g. there is an outpost and the only possible defenders for miles are the mercenaries at hand, their loss in this case would have more serious implications if there were another immediate threat to the outpost after the initial battle.

Mercenaries’ prestige is not tied up with the rest of the army, consequently any victory points that a player might normally gain for prestige is void if it is gained through mercenaries. E.g. the stealing of a standard, saving of innocents, and looting. Points are stilled gained for models killed by mercenaries and tactical accomplishments.

The Albionites are an amalgam of a number of sources, “Warhammer Ancients: Shield Wall” Irish (even though McDeath depicts them as scots, Dal Riata or Pict may be more appropriate), Dogs of War (which included the Giants of Albion and their druid companion) and the Dark shadows 2000 campaign where the Truthsayers, dark emissaries and fen beasts come from.

Order NeutralNipponese Characters are limited to gear available to Nipponese Troops

Magic: The magic users of Nippon fall into two camps, they are either trusted and sagely masters who may use Green, Blue and White, or they are spiteful sorcerers who may utilize black and red magic. Alignment: Unlike the overall team alignment, the green, white and blue magic users are good and cannot ally with chaotic or evil aligned teams. Correspondingly, the spiteful sorcerers are evil and may not ally with good teams. Relatedly, Monks are good and may not ally with chaotic or evil teams. Ninjas are evil and may not ally with Good teams.

Sashimono: The Sashimono is a small banner attached to the

back of a warrior. While predominantly used for identification, the cumulative effect of the sashimono is dazzling and overwhelming suggestive of a much larger force. Any model with a sashimono may double its unit strength.
