CHOOSING YOUR ARMY'hen composin= yo?r army> some r?les m?st be followed to ens?re that the res?lt is a coherent force. Armies can

be taen from any )antasy Ba<les* +th A=e Army Boos. s?ally the army 8which nits> opons etc yo? tae in yo?r

army9 is wri<en down on a piece of paper> called an Army 1ist.

Army list entries are diDided into the followin= cate=ories*

● 1ords and (eroes. A maIim?m of J0K of the oints of yo?r army may be 1ord and (ero characters

8combined9> and a maIim?m of HJK of the oints of yo?r army may be 1ord Characters. )?rthermore> the

nits are common eno?=h for yo? to be able to tae each diLerent Core nit ?p to mes.

● Special. Special nits are typical of the army> altho?=h not so m?ch as to be part of its Core secon. Each

Special nit can be taen ?p to H mes in the same army.

oints on #are nits. )?rthermore> each #are nit can be taen ?p to 2 mes in the same army.

Aside from this> there are other re@?irements that yo? m?st pay a<enon to when b?ildin= yo?r army*● he sie of a ba<le is determined by the oints limit on the armies. Each nit yo? add to yo?r army list has

a oints Dal?e. 'hen addin= ?p the oints Dal?e of all yo?r nits> this total can neDer eIceed the

determined oints limit. Somemes> it is not possible to reach the eIact a=reed ?pon points limit> and yo?

are therefore allowed to be sli=htly below the limit 8b?t not by more than 20 oints9.

● EDery army m?st nominate one of its characters as the ,eneral. his implies that the army m?st incl?de

at least one character who is able to be the ,eneral of the army. )?rthermore> eDery army m?st contain a

minim?m of nits 8eIcl?din= characters9. All nits with the 'ar /achine troop type co?nt as a sin=le

● Somemes> the armies that clash on the ba<leNeld are m?ch bi==er than ?s?al. Armies of 000 oints ormore are considered ,rand Armies. All limits for the n?mber of repeated nits and characters are

do?bled for this ind of army. his incl?des 8non7character9 $ne of a 4ind nits> which can be taen ?p to

2 mes in a ,rand Army.

● Somemes> the armies that clash on the ba<leNeld are m?ch smaller than ?s?al. Armies of less than :J00
