them all personally. But Banjulhu from the Tor Gaming forum deserves a shout out for his work on the FAQ and his
willingness to always provide feedback when asked.

As to all the others, you know who you are and we are grateful for the effort you put in, no matter how small or large.

 Terminology We Use
Throughout the rules, we will use specific terms
to describe elements of the game. These are set
out below.
d6: Six sided dice, the only dice you
need for this game. You will see this written in
a variety of ways:
d6: This is the basic way of writing it. This
refers to a single 6 sided die.
2d6: This means you need to roll a certain
number of 6 sided dice. In this example it is
two 6 sided dice that need to be rolled.
d6+/-x: This is a means for us to modify
the result of a dice roll. Examples are d6+1,
which means roll one d6 and add one to the
result. d6-2 means roll one d6 and subtract 2
from the result.
d3: This is a 3 sided die. Roll a d6 and
consider results of 1 & 2 as 1, 3 & 4 as 2 and
5 & 6 as 3.
Attack dice: The dice rolled when making an
attack. This can be a melee or ranged attack and the
number of attack dice is equal to the profiles Combat
or Ranged stat +/- modifiers.
Caster: A unit that has the Caster attribute and
casts spells.
Model: A single miniature of any type.
Profile: The stat line and attributes referring to
a particular model.
Base stat: The value of a stat as printed on the
models profile
Modified stat: The value of a stat as printed
on the models profile plus any modifiers that are
affecting the model at that time.
Unit: A single grouping of models with a defined
profile/s. A unit can be either an Independent (e.g.
Eotan) or a Squad (e.g Grenadiers). For example, two
squads of Unmann, and an Eotan equates to three
units.
16
Independent: A unit initially consisting of only
one model.
Squad: A unit that can consist of more than one
model.
Force: The group of units under control of one
player.
LoS: Line of Sight, which determines what
a given model can and cannot see, and therefore
attack.
Inches: All measurements in Relics are in
inches.
AoE: Area of Effect. An area representing the
coverage of weapons that are explosive and not
direct.
BtB: Base to Base. When models bases are
touching edge to edge.
Melee range: When models from enemy units
are in BtB contact. When in melee range, a unit is also
considered in combat range
Combat range: Models within 2 of one or
more enemy models and have LoS to that model are
considered in combat range with those models.
Dice and How We Use Them
Dice. There are plenty of types out there, some
weird, and some normal. Were sure everyone has a
good collection of dice already but not necessarily a
collection of all the types available. Well, fear not as we
use the most common dice there are!
You will only need six sided dice for Relics. The results
of the rolls are worked out one of two ways, depending
on what you are trying to achieve.
Generally, dice will be rolled in groups and you will
need to count the number of doubles you rolled.
When calculating hits count pairs of dice, each pair
counts as a hit. When calculating pairs you may only
count each die once; once paired a die is removed from
the dice pool as it is considered used.
Generally, we are not worried about the value of the
double, just the number of them. However, there are
some situations where we look for specific values.
These will be covered in the respective sections.
Secondly, you may also be required to roll a single die
and compare the result with a target number, or to roll
two dice and add the values together, and compare this
result with a target number. These methods of rolling
the dice and working out the results are discussed in
depth later.
Rerolls
Some rules allow dice to be rerolled. In these instances,
all rerolls need to be rolled at the same time and a die
can only be rerolled once per action. So, if a unit is
allowed to reroll multiple dice (maybe a spell has been
cast on it allowing a reroll as well as the unit having the
ability natively), the player must make all rerolls at the
same time.
Rule Precedence
In Relics, we have four layers of rules:
1. Core rules. This includes expansions etc. So, the
document you are reading at the moment falls in to this
category.
2. Profile Attribute Rules: the attribute rules listed
on a profile such as Hardened.
3. Magic spell rules. Its pretty obvious where you
find these ones....
4. Officially released erratas, found on our website
at http://www.torgaming.co.uk
When deciding which rules should be applied in
Image 1.
Correct
Incorrect
precedence over others, use the following order:
Core rules are overruled by profile attribute
rules, which are overruled by spells.
So, if a profile has a rule that contradicts a core
rule, ignore the core rule. If a spell contradicts a
profile and/or a core rule, use the spell ruling.
Errata, if any, will explain how they affect
existing rules on a case-by-case basis.
Note: In some cases, we break this rule. When
this is the case, we explicitly state so. For example, the
Beorns Earth Commander profile rule states:
This models Command range is never reduced, even
if affected by a spell.
So, in this instance, the profile rule Earth Commander
explicitly states that it overrides spells that would
normally reduce the Beorns Command range. This
does not affect spells that would increase the Beorns
Command range however!!
Additionally, there may be times when a unit has
multiple rules affecting it that may contradict
themselves. In these instances, the more severe rule
takes precedence.
For example, a unit may have a Shaken and a Knock
Down counter on it at the same time. In this situation,
the ruling of Unit may not move from the Knock Down
counter takes precedence over the The unit moves as
if on difficult terrain rule of being Shaken.
Measuring
Measurements are always made in inches (we tried
Incorrect
17
 centimetres but couldnt get on with
them).

When making measurements,

measure from the edge of the
models base to the edge of the item
you are measuring to (building, base Incorrect
of another model, etc). See Image 1

Measuring Between Units Correct

Image 2.
Measuring between two units,
except for a ranged attack, is a simple case of
measuring from the closest point to closest
point. See Image 2

Measuring Ranged Attacks

Measuring ranged attacks is done on a

per-model basis from the shooting unit.
Individually measure each models range in
the firing unit to the closest possible point
on the target unit. If the measurement is
no greater than the firing unit can fire, that
model can take part in the ranged attack.
See Image 3
Pre-Measuring

Players may not pre-measure. This includes

knowing how long your hand or forearm
is and leaning on the table to use them to
figure out if you are in charge range. Yes,
you know who you are. Play fair or dont
play!
Image 3.
This means that the player must announce
any intention to fire, charge, move, etc.,
prior to making any measurements.

Note: There is one exception to this, and

that is measuring of Command ranges,
which may be measured at any time. See
the Command section for further details.

Area of Effect

If an attack, or other in game affect, is

employing an AoE, measure from the edge
of the affected models base up to the AoE
value in all directions.

If the AoE touches any models base, the

18
 Image 4.
Affected

AoE
model is considered affected by the AoE. The affected
model is included in this AoE. See Image 4
Miniatures
Have you seen the Relics range of models? Beautiful
they are, and so different to all the other models out on
the market. If you have not got any yet, why not??
Each player should have a number of miniatures that
make up their force. The total points value of each force
is decided between the players prior to the game or
stipulated in the scenario to be played.
Each army list provides a number of different units
for the players to choose. What the players choose is
entirely up to them, as long as they follow the simple
force construction rules (see Force Creation for
details) and as long as the total value does not exceed
the agreed game size.
Units can be either an Independent unit, or a Squad
unit, as indicated in the units profile.
Independents
Independent units are purchased as a single model
and act independently on the table. They are never
considered part of a squad, even when in coherency
Affected
Not Affected
with one.
Squads
Squads consist of a number of models, dependant on
the profile and the min/max model number value of
that profile. Squads act as a group and must stay within
a certain range of each other (see Squad Coherency).
Generally, squads will be made up of a single profile,
but there are instances of special squads that are made
up by multiple profiles. These units are called mixed
squads.
Mixed Squads
Some profiles can be fielded in mixed squads. These
units will comprise of two or more different profiles.
For example, the Empire Britanan faction has a unit
choice of Hunting Pack. The Hunting Pack unit consists
of two different profiles, the Handler profile and the
Hunting Dog profile.
Squad Coherency
Models that are part of the same squad must stay within
coherency of at least one other model from the squad.
The maximum range that models may be apart is 2.
19
 If, for whatever reason, a squad is split into two
or more groups then the squad is considered to
be out of squad coherency and must abide the
following rules:
The largest part of the squad may
continue to be used as per the normal rules.
If none of the units parts are greater than the
rest, the owning player chooses which part to
use as if it were the largest part.
When the squad activates, the smaller
part/s must move their full current Move to try to
re-establish squad coherency again.
If they are unable to re-establish squad
coherency in a single activation, they must continue
to move their full distance for subsequent activations
until they are back into squad coherency.
For the entire activation, the parts not
considered the largest may not perform any action
other than to move. If one of these unit parts moves
back into squad coherency, it may still not perform
any other action until the units next activation.
Stats
You have the models (if not, why not??) but what use
are they without stats to enable you to use them on
the battlefield?
Each profile is made up of a collection of values called
stats. These stats represent the models ability at
doing certain actions within the game.
Move (Mv): The distance in inches, a model
may move during its activation.
Combat (Cb): This is the attack value, and is
the base number of dice (attack dice) the player
rolls in melee combat.
Ranged (Rg): This value is split into two,
separated by a /. The first value is the attack value,
and is the base number of dice the model rolls when
making a ranged attack. The second number is the
maximum range in inches for the ranged attack. For
example, 3/15 means three dice are rolled and the
ranged attack can be made up to 15 inches.
Defence (Df): The amount by which an
opponents attack dice are reduced by when
20
attacking this model. For example, if this value is 1,
the opponent attacking this model will reduce the
number of dice they roll by one. Note, if this value
is preceded by a plus sign (+), the attacker adds this
number of dice to their roll. (Some things are just
too slow or too big or too bloody stupid to get out
of the way).
Damage (Dg): This is the total number of
damage points this model can take before it is
removed from the table.
Morale (Mr): This value indicates the units
willingness to fight when the going gets bad. The
higher this value is the better!
If a stat has - in it, this means that stat cannot ever be
used by that unit in a game and any modifiers applied
to the unit that affect that stat will have no effect.
Attributes
In addition to the stats, each profile may have a number
of attributes, these will detail any special rules that
apply to the profile.
Each attribute is classed as one of two types, Innate
and Conscious. Each attribute itself will denote which
of the two categories it falls into by the indicator letter
in brakets after its name.
Innate (I)
We consider Innate attributes to be On all the time
and as such require no thought on the players side as
to when and how to use them as the situation (and rule
wording) dictates this. Examples of Innate attributes
are Hardened, Sure footed and Unreliable.
Conscious (C)
We consider Conscious attributes to be Off all the
time. They require forethought as to when to use
them. As such, the player must specifically invoke
the use of the rule at the point they wish to use it.
Examples of Conscious attributes are Control, Fluid
Units and Hide
Attribute Living
All models are considered as having the attribute
Living unless specifically stated on their profile.
Living just means the model is alive and is
therefore used as an indicator for other game
effacts which will explain their use in their text.

Line of Sight
Image 5.
Models have a line of sight (LoS) of 180 degrees
to their front, and LoS is always worked out on a
model-by-model basis. All Troopers have LoS

We recommend you mark the base in some way

to show the models LoS.

We use the models base to gauge LoS. Imagine

the base rises up as a cylinder to a height equal to
the models base (so a model on a 30mm base has
a cylinder 30mm high). A model must be able to
see at least part of the target cylinder to consider
having LoS. We only consider this cylinder as
the target model when trying to spot them, not
the model (not even its left arm that is out stretched members without any issues. See Image 5.

unit. Shooting through a friendly unit is dangerous and
Obscured only done in dire situations. When shooting through a
friendly unit, the target unit counts as Obscured and
There are a number of ways to become
Obscured; these are mentioned in their
respective sections.

Models that are Obscured gain +1 Defence.

E.g. A model with Defence 1 will have a

modified Defence of 2 when it is Obscured.

ignore Obscured.

Line of Sight through Own Unit

LoS is handled differently when it is drawn

through units. The way it is handled is
dependent on whether the unit it is passing
through is a friendly unit or an enemy unit.

Models in a unit can draw LoS through their

own unit, ignoring other members of that unit.
This means that a unit can fire through its own

Commanders
main options with that unit:
Any profile with Command attribute is considered
a Commander. These are a special type of model and
are typically, but not always, Independent units.
The owning player may measure the Commanders
Command range (the numerical value in the Command
attribute) at any time. This is a break from the no pre-
measuring rule.
Units and Command
player may only do one of the following three
1. Move: The unit may move up to their full
allowed distance.
2. Ranged attack: The unit may make a
ranged attack with the following restrictions
The unit may not make a Gang Up
attack.

When a unit becomes active, the player measures the
distance from the unit and all friendly Commander
models.
If a single model in the unit is within any friendly
Commanders Command range, the unit is In Command
for that activation and ignores the Out of Command
rules. If the unit is not In Command, it must observe
the Out of Command rules.
Out of Command
Players do not have a lot of control over units that are
not In Command. When a unit is Out of Command, the
The unit may not move.
The unit must target the closest enemy
unit in LoS. If that unit has at least 50% of
its models Obscured, not visible at all or in
combat; the player can ignore it for target
priority and target the next closest enemy
unit in LoS. See Image 8.
Combat: Units with one or more models
in combat must continue to fight in combat.
They must follow the Stuck In rule when
they activate.

 A unit not in combat may not charge, but may move into combat

If moving into combat, the unit must target the closest enemy unit in LoS. If that unit has at least 50% of
its models Obscured, not visible at all or currently has models in combat; the player can ignore it for target
priority and target the next closest enemy unit in LoS. To determine the closest unit simply measure the
closest model to closest model.

Commanders and Command

Models with the Command attribute are always considered to be In Command.

Commanders and Shaken

When a Commander is Shaken, consider its Command value as half the stated value on its profile prior to adding
modifiers to its range. This continues until the Shaken counter is removed.

Who Sets Up First Actions

Unless specified by a specific scenario rule, the
player with the most units places a unit on the
table first. Then their opponent places a unit.
This continues until all units that are to be
placed on the table have been deployed.
When a unit activates, the player may do one of the
following with it
Move the unit up to its full Move value. No model may
move further than its current movement however.

If all players have the same number of units, roll
a d6, with the player scoring the highest places
the first unit. Any draws should be re-rolled.
Who Moves First?
Attempt to charge or move into combat with an enemy
unit.
Move each models in the unit up to half its Move value
then make a ranged attack.

At the start of each turn, both players roll a d6. If one
player has fewer units on the table than the other
player, they add one to their result.
The player with the highest result chooses to activate
first or second. Any draws should be re-rolled.
Players then take turns to activate a unit and carry out
all the actions they wish with that unit.
Activating Units
If part of a unit is in melee, the unit must get Stuck In and
attack. See the Stuck In section for further details.
If all the unit is in melee, the unit must attack or
disengage.
During any of the above, the player may make use of
any and all rules on that units profile by following
their wording. Some may specify that they must be
used in a specific situation, in which case the rule is not
optional and the player must abide by them.

During a game turn, players take turns to activate their
units. Once a unit becomes active, the player must carry
out all their actions with that unit that they wish to do.
Once a player has completed the actions with their
active unit, it becomes inactive and the other player
activates a unit and carries out the actions they wish
to with that unit.
Additionally, magic users, denoted by the Caster
attribute on their profile, may cast spells before and/
or after movement and/or shooting and even when
in melee or combat. See the Magic section for further
details.

This continues until all units in the table have been

activated.

24
Movement Minimum Charge Range

Models can move in any direction the player wishes.
They must move around impassable intervening
terrain and other models and must not exceed their
Move value during their activation.
Redeploy
When a unit activates, the player may have that unit
redeploy instead of making a normal move.
A redeploying units movement stat, as printed on
their profile, is doubled for that activation.
Models wishing to make a charge must move at
least 2. If, after making the move it turns out the
model has moved less than 2, the model does
not count as charging and does not benefit from
the charge bonus.
This means that during a charge, it is entirely
possible for part of a unit to qualify for the charge
modifier and part of the same squad fail to qualify
for the charge bonus.
Making The Charge

A redeploying units activation ends once its movement
is completed. It may not make ranged attacks, cast
spells or end its movement within combat range of
an enemy unit.
At the end of an activation in which a unit redeployed,
place an exhausted lingering effect counter on the unit,
even if the unit has already has an exhausted counter
from redeploying during its previous activation. This
is an exception to the unique rule requirement of
lingering effects.
Once the charge has been announced, the controlling
player rolls a d3 and adds this value to the units current
Move value for the charge range.
Models in a unit making a charge move must travel in
a single, straight line directly towards the unit they are
charging.
If it turns out the unit does not have enough movement to
make contact, even after the addition of the d3 result, the
unit must be moved directly towards the intended target

Units that have their movement

value reduced for any reason may
not redeploy. Image 9.

To Charge or not to Charge

To charge into melee, the majority

(50% or greater) of the unit must
have LoS to the intended target
unit. A model that is part of a unit
that intends to charge a squad, only
needs to draw LoS to one model in
the squad to have LoS to that unit.

Even though the entire unit charges

if 50% or more of the unit has LoS
to the target unit, only models with Can see the enemy
LoS to the target unit before the unit so get charge

Measuring the range for units is

performed on a model by model
basis. Therefore, if half the unit is in
range, only half make contact.

 unit their maximum Move value, ignoring the
result of the d3.
For example, a player declares a charge and rolls
the d3. They roll a 6, which gives them an extra
3 of movement which added to the units Move
of 5 gives a charge range of 8. After measuring,
the closest models they find out the models are
9 apart.
The charging unit is therefore moved directly
toward the intended target unit their normal
Move of 5
If it is determined that at least one member of a
charging unit has enough movement to make contact,
all members of the unit must be moved the full modified
movement directly towards the target unit in a single,
straight line.
Charge Bonus
Models that have charged during their activation and
are in BtB contact with an enemy model increase their
Combat stat for the rest of that activation by 1.
For example, a Britanan Trooper that charges is
considered to have a Combat stat of 3 for that
activation.
Charging Obscured Models
If a unit charges a unit that is classed as Obscured at
either the start of the charge, the end of the charge or
both, the models contacted by the charge are considered
Obscured when resolving the charge combat rolls.
IMAGE OR FLUFF
26
Charging with Modified Movement
If a model has had its Move value reduced, whether by
terrain or some other gamer rule, the model cannot
benefit from the charge bonus and does not count as
charging.
This is worked out on a model by model basis for a
squad. This means it is possible for part of a squad to
charge, whilst another part of the squad to not be able
to charge. This is normal and fine, the player just needs
to make sure all models move as far as they can and
you keep unit coherency.
Having its Move increased however does not stop the
unit from charging. That just wouldnt make sense.
Making the Most of the Charge
When charging, models dont just stop when they
meet the first model in the target unit. The units will
get stuck into each other and the melee turns into a
swirling mass of bodies.
When moving models during a charge, starting with
the model closest to the target unit, move it so that it
travels as far as it can into the target unit, but does not
come into BtB contact with another enemy unit prior
to the furthest enemy model it can reach. If models
in the target unit need to be shuffled slightly to allow
space for a charging units models, then this is allowed.
However, when moving models, the owning player of
the charged models move them and once a model is in
BtB contact with a charger, the model can not be moved
to make room.
Continue to do this until all models in the charging unit
have been moved.
Terrain
Prior to setting up the table, all players must agree
on the status of each terrain type. The options are as
follows:
Open: This has no effect on movement or LoS.
Difficult terrain: This terrain affects movement
but does not block LoS. Examples include broken
ground, mud or heavy snow. See the Difficult Terrain
section below for movement rules.
Obscuring terrain: This has no effect on
movement but gives Obscured status to any model
within or on the other side of the terrain area. A
grove or light hedges would be examples of obscuring
terrain.
Difficult obscuring terrain: Counts as difficult
terrain for movement and reduces LoS through
it to 3 with models within that 3 LoS range are
considered Obscured. Therefore, models looking into
the terrain from outside will only be able to see 3
into it. Whilst models within the terrain have a total
LoS range of 3 into the terrain. If a model is in the
terrain piece and closer than 3 of the edge, they can
see models outside the terrain as per the normal LoS
rules. A forest with heavy undergrowth would be an
example of difficult obscuring terrain
Impassable terrain: This blocks movement but
not LoS. A chasm would be impassable terrain
Blocking terrain: This is impassable for
movement and blocks LoS.
You assign each piece of terrain one of the above
terrain descriptions and it remains like that for the
whole game.
If both players agree, you can also create new, fun
terrain descriptions for weird and wonderful terrain.
What about a terrain piece that attacks a unit that
occupies it? That would be fun. Feel free to post these
ideas on to our forum so others can enjoy using them.
Linear Terrain move 1d3+2
Walls, hedges that sort of stuff. They are perfect for
hiding behind... Umm, I mean taking up a defensive
position behind...
Any piece of terrain that is no wider than 1 is
classed as linear terrain.
Linear Terrain and Movement
When a linear piece of terrain that is 2 tall or
less is being crossed by models on a 30mm base,
they move at half their normal speed for that
activation.
Any models on a base larger than 30mm can
simple ignore the linear terrain piece for
movement.
No models are able to cross linear terrain that is taller
than 2.
Linear Terrain and Protection
Linear terrain can also affect LoS.
Depending on the size of the spotting models , the
linear terrain can provide Obscured status to models
on the other side
If LoS can be drawn through linear terrain to a target
model on the opposite side of the terrain and the
spotting model is on a 30mm base, the target model is
considered Obscured if they are not further from the
terrain feature than two times the height of the terrain
feature.
If the activate model is on a 40mm or larger base, the
target model is considered Obscured if they are not
further from the terrain feature than a distance equal
to the height of the terrain feature.
See Image 10 on the next page.
Difficult Terrain
If a unit is on terrain that is classed as difficult terrain,
the units movement is treated as below:
If their Move is 5 or less, they move 1d3+1
If their Move is over 5 but less than 8, they
If their Move is 8 or over, they move 1d3+4

Movement Off and On Difficult Terrain
A unit that is moving onto difficult terrain after moving
some distance on open terrain move to the terrain
edge, roll a d3 and move this amount in inches into the
terrain. Models in the unit may not move more than its
base Move stat.
For example, A squad of Troopers are 2 away from a
piece of terrain that modifies movement. They move 2
up to the terrain and then the player rolls a d3 and gets
a result of 3, which equates to 2. The squad therefore
moves 2 into the terrain.
For Example, A squad of Unmann are 4 away from a
piece of terrain that modifies movement. They move
4 up to the terrain then the player rolls a d3 and gets
a result of 6, which equates to 3. As the squad has
already moved 4 and their base Move stat is 5, they
can only move an additional 1 into the terrain. The
other 2 from the d3 roll is ignored.
A unit moving from difficult terrain into the open will
only move the distance they rolled for their difficult
terrain movement check.

Hills and LoS
Ive always viewed hills as a nasty side of gaming when
you get above 15mm.
At the very least they look terrible on the table and
create elevations that would really not be on the table
due to the scale. I did consider them but I just couldnt
find a mechanic I liked that fitted into Relics how I
wanted it too.
The fact you cant shoot over Troopers to hit an Eotan
represents the natural chaos of battle and undulating
ground that the battle is taking place on (no ground is
as perfectly flat as a gaming table) but to really take
hills into account would require a massive chunk of
the table to be elevated which then means you are just
playing on a side of a hill so you may just level it out
horizontally and bazinga, you have a flat table again.
If you really want to use hills, then I suggest using the
rules as is and just allow models on the hill to shoot
over other units if you can draw an uninterrupted line
from the shooter to the targets cylinder.

 Combat with Multiple Units Disengaging

When an attacking model is in melee range with
more than one enemy unit, the owning player
must declare which of the enemy units the
model is attacking and how many of its combat
dice are being used in each attack. See Image
12.
Bugger this, Im out of here.
When a unit in melee or combat range with a single
enemy unit activates, the player may wish to disengage.
If they do, they must announce this before doing
anything else.

32
Working out the Dice
To work out the dice to be rolled in an attack, simply
take a number of dice equal to the relevant attack value
for the attacking model (Combat for melee, Ranged for,
umm, ranged), then apply any modifiers (e.g. Charge
Bonus, target units Defence value, Obscured Status,
etc).
The resulting value is the number of d6 to be rolled in
this attack.
Minimum Number of Dice
When making an attack roll, either ranged or melee, if
the total number of modified attack dice is below 2, roll
2d6 and ignore doubles of 1s and 2s.
Attack Types
To handle the way units work in melee and shooting,
we have two ways for units to make attacks. Both of
these options are available to all units in the game.
The player must declare which attack type each model
is using, and which models are taking part in Gang Up
attacks, if used, and all target models prior to rolling
any dice.
Normal Attacks
The active player makes attacks with each model one at
a time. Rolling the individual models dice and working
out what hits are caused before moving on to the attack
of the next model in the unit.
DO NOT combine the dice from multiple models when
making this type of attack. To speed things up, you can
roll the dice of multiple models together, but ensure
you use different coloured dice for each model and do
not mix the colours when working out the hits.
Gang Up Attack
Instead, the player may split a unit up to make Gang
Up attacks. The active player nominates one model as
their main attacking model and up to two additional
models from the active unit that are eligible to take
part in the attack.
The player works out how many d6 they get as normal
for the first model. They then add an additional d6 to
the total for each additional model taking part in the
Gang Up attack.
This number of d6 is then modified by the target
models Defence value
This way, the player can increase the number of
dice rolled whilst only needing to worry about
the enemies Defence once.
Only the attributes and abilities of the main
attacking model will apply; the other models in
the Gang Up attack only add the 1d6 attack die
each.
A model cannot take part in more than one Gang Up
attack per activation and there can never be more than
three models involved in a single Gang Up attack.
For example, a unit of 6 models wishes to make some
Gang Up attacks. The player may make these attacks as
follows:
Two attacks of three models each ganging up
Three attacks of two models each ganging up
Two attacks of two models each ganging up, and two
attacks by individual models not ganging up
Rolling the Attack Dice
Ok, you have worked out the attack dice you need but
you have not actually rolled them yet? What are you
waiting for?
Once the number of dice has been determined for the
attack, roll them. Count up the number of doubles
rolled; this is the number of hits scored.
For every hit scored, the enemy model or unit takes a
single Damage point.
33
 Removing Casualties
Once a unit has received enough damage points
to equal the Damage value stated in its profile, the
unit has taken enough damage to have a model
removed as a casualty. Remove the member of
the unit that is closest to the originator of the
attack that resulted in the casualty.
For example, if the attack was via melee, remove
a model that is in base contact with the attacking
model. If the attack was ranged, remove the
closest viable target model from the target unit to the
shooting model.
If a model in melee combat inflicts more damage than
can be applied to enemy models within melee range
with it, apply the additional damage to enemy model
from the target unit that is within combat range of the
attacking model. If this is not possible, the attacking
unit has caused overkill. See the Overkill section for
further details.
Area of Effect and Casualties
Casualties caused by an attack using an AoE are
removed from the models covered by the AoE only. If
enough wounds are caused than can be removed from
under the AoE, the additional wounds are converted to
overkill. See the Overkill section for further details.
The owning player decides which models under the
AoE to remove.
Overkill
Ka-splattttt.
It is possible that not all the damage caused to a unit
during an attack can be applied to targetted models
(within combat range of the attackers or eligible target
models for ranged attackers). In these situations, we do
not ignore the extra damage, oh no. Rather we convert
it over to a modifier to be applied to a morale check
that may need to be made because of the attack.
Each time a model attacks in melee or ranged combat
and causes more damage than is required to remove
all the allowed enemy models, keep a note of the extra
damage caused. For melee combat, allowed enemy
models that can be removed as casualties are those
within combat range. For ranged combat, allowed
enemy models that can be removed as casualties are
34
discussed in the relevant sections.
For example, an Eotan is in contact with a Trooper unit
and in BtB contact with a single Trooper (Oh dear....)
and no other Trooper with in combat range of the
Eotan. The Eotan player rolls their attack dice and
causes 2 points of damage. The Trooper in BtB contact
is removed and the second point of damage is noted
for overkill.
Applying Overkill
If a unit that has received overkill is also forced to
check morale, each overkill point the unit received is
converted to a modifier of -1 to the morale check.
For example, the Trooper unit above is forced to check
morale because the Trooper removed took the unit
below 50% of its Damage value from the start of the
turn. The player must apply an additional -1 modifier
to the morale check because of the one point of overkill
caused.
If the unit had two points of overkill on it, the morale
check would be modified by -2.
As with thw whole of Relicia, in the hellish nightmare
region of Xanawang there are many strange archaic
portals dotted randomly far and wide. It has been
noted that some of these portals are connected to each
other but their true nature is not completely clear to
me as yet and it seems as if their full potential has not
yet been truly realised by many of the people of Relicia.
Many among the Vaettir claim to be blissfully unaware
of these devices but from my own observations I am
certain that this is to be false.
One of my appointed guides was a young Vaelad by
the name of Albeuron, I say young but to be perfectly
honest he could well have been over a thousand years
old for all I know. Albeuron was a knowledgeable
character and taught me many Vaettirean poems
and songs, some of which I still cherish lovingly today.
He was a generally pleasant character but he had a
sinister side too, as I discovered on the day I dared to
inquire of the portals. Albeuron did not even attempt
to answer me but instead turned his deathly gaze
intensely upon me, I never dared to return his stare
properly but in that moment I caught a glimpse of
something truly dark hidden behind his eyes, the
memory of which will haunt me for the rest of my days.
Some rules have lingering effects that continue to
affect the target unit for the complete turn and longer.
Lingering effects are applied to a target unit if that unit
receives at least one hit, or is affected by a rule that
applies a lingering effect.
When a lingering effect is applied to a unit, place a
counter on the unit to represent the effect.
A unit can have multiple lingering effects on it at one
time, even of the same type except each lingering effect
counter must come from a unique rule.
For example, a unit hit by Iced Ground from two
different sources will only receive one Knock Down
counter as the counters come from rules with the same
name.
However, no matter how many lingering effects
counters of the same type a unit has on it, you only
apply the modifier of the lingering effect once.
Lingering Effects
When a unit is active and under the effect of one or more
lingering effect, the unit must abide by the following
rules for that activation for each of the lingering effects
on them.
Exhausted
A unit with one or more exhausted lingering effect
tokens on it may not engage or charge into combat. The
unit may not make gang up attacks. Any attack made
against a unit with one or more exhausted counters on
it receive +1 attack dice. Additionally, the unit may not
use any conscious attributes on their profile.
Fire
When unit activates, immediately make a 2d6 attack
against it. If the unit has the Doll attribute, the attack
roll it receives is 3d6.
Freeze
The units current Move stat is reduced by 50%.
Additionally, the units Combat and Ranged stats are
reduced by 1.
Horror
The unit suffers an additional -1 to its Morale.
Knock Down
The unit may not move. Attacks against this unit
gain +1 attack dice. This unit may not make Gang
Up attacks
Pain
The units Defence is reduced by one, as are the
units Combat and Ranged stats. Pain only affects
Living models.
Poison
The units Move is reduced by 50%; additionally, the
units Defence, Combat and Ranged attack stats are
reduced by one. Poison only affects Living models.
Removing Lingering Effects
At the end of the affected units next activation, roll a
d6 for each of the lingering effect counter currently
affecting the unit.
On a result of 2 or more, remove the counter. On a result
of a 1, the counter remains on the unit and continues to
apply its effects to the unit.
Generally, this should be done on a counter-by-counter
basis. However, to speed things up, roll for the same
type counters all together. For example, a unit has 1
Pain and 2 Fire counters on it (ouch). The player can
roll two dice for the Fire counters, then after seeing if
they can be removed, the player would roll for the Pain
counter.
Immunity to Lingering Effects
Some units are immune to some lingering effects.
When this is the case, the units profile will state which
lingering effect they are immune too.
In these cases, the rules that would place a lingering
effect counter on the unit takes effect as normal, but
the lingering effect is ignored.
35
 The ability to keep your force fighting is just as
important as what weapons they have.
During a game, there will be times when you
need to check a units morale. These include, but
are not restricted to:
A units current Damage value is equal to 50% or
less than its value at the start of that turn. Note
this is the units total number of damage points,
not model count, so if the unit started that turn
with 6 Damage, then it would need to check
morale when its damage rating reaches 3 or below.
Making the Morale Check
When making a morale roll, the player rolls 2d6 and
adds the units Morale stat and other modifiers to the
result. See the Morale Modifiers section for further
details.
If the modified Morale roll result is less than 12, the
unit fails its morale test and must observe the rules
below. Boo!
If the modified morale roll is equal or greater than
12, the unit passes its morale test and is unaffected.
Hooray!
If the modified morale roll result is less than 12, the
unit fails its morale test and must observe the rules
below. Boo!
Death of a Commander
The loss of a Commander is never a good thing
(although looking at some Commanders from history,
losing them wouldnt have been so bad). Not only is
losing a Commander bad because it stretches your
ability to control your troops and keep them moving, it
also means units that witness the death and are not able
to come under the command of another Commander
immediately may just lose the will to fight!!
When a Commander is removed from the table, check
all units in the Commanders Command range to see
if they are also in the command range of one or more
other Commanders.
If the unit is within range of one or more Commanders
at the time, the unit is fine and there is no action to be
taken.
36
If the unit is not within range of one or more
Commanders, the player must immediately make a
morale check for the unit.
If the unit fails the morale check, place a Shaken counter
on the unit.
Failing Morale because of Melee Attacks
The unit stays where they are and the player must
place a Shaken counter on the unit.
Failing Morale because of Ranged Attacks
The unit must immediately fall back directly away from
the unit that made the ranged attack a distance as if
they were on difficult terrain. This move is compulsory
and will replace the movement of the unit if the unit
has not activated this turn, or is considered additional
movement if the unit has already activated this turn.
The player must place a Shaken counter on the unit.
Auto Failing Morale
Units that roll a double 1 when making their morale
checks automatically fail the morale check, no matter
what modifiers and their Morale stat value.
Morale and AoE
When a unit takes a hit from an AoE attack, they must
make a morale check. This check must be made even if
they have not been reduced below 50% of its damage
value at the start of that turn. However, the effect of a
failed testing is dependent on the units current damage
value.
If the morale test is a failure whilst the unit is still at or
above 50% strength of starting Damage total results in
the unit receiving a Knock Down counter.
If the morale test is a failure whilst the unit is below
50% strength of starting Damage total, the unit receives
a Knock Down counter and a Shaken counter (but does
not fall back like from normal ranged attacks as it has a
Knock Down counter)
Being Shaken
When a Shaken unit actives, the player must ensure the
unit abides by:
The unit moves as if on difficult terrain.
The unit may not make Gang Up ranged
attacks.
Suffers a -1 to its attack value in melee
The unit suffers these until the counter is removed
from the unit.
Removing a Shaken Counter
When a Shaken units activation ends, the player
must immediately test morale. If it passes, the player
removes the Shaken counter from the unit.
If the unit fails the morale check, it is still considered
Shaken. Leave the Shaken counter on the unit. Do not
apply the Failing Morale Checks when Shaken rules
for the removal check.
Shaken and Obscured Terrain
Whilst Shaken, if the unit activates whilst in Obscured
status, immediately remove the Shaken counter.
The unit may complete its activation as is it was not
Shaken.
Shaken Commanders
Shaken Commanders consider their Command value
as half its current value. This remains until the Shaken
counter is removed.
Failing Morale Checks when Shaken
Unless specified in the ruling that is causing the morale
check, a Shaken unit that fails a morale check has had
its will to fight smashed; remove the unit from the table
as casualties.
Supported Unit
Keeping your units Supported with friendly units is
very important. When a unit needs to check morale,
check to see if the unit is Supported.
To count as being Supported, the range between the
testing unit and the closest friendly unit that is
not in combat must be less than the range to the
closest enemy unit that is not in combat range of
the testing unit.
A unit cannot be classed as Supporting the
checking unit if:
You are unable to measure an
uninterrupted line between the closest
model of the testing unit to any model of the
Supporting friendly unit.
The unit you are measuring to has a Shaken
counter
The unit you are measuring to has a Knock
Down counter on it.
The unit you are measuring to is in melee.
The one exception to the The unit you are measuring
to is in melee restriction is if that unit is in melee with
the same unit that the testing unit is in combat with.

Decimated Squads
When a squad that has a morale value other than
-(except Automatons, see Automaton squad and
decimation) is reduced to less than 1/3 of its starting
strength or is reduced to its last damage point, the
squad is considered decimated.
37
 Activating Decimated Squads
When a decimated squad activates, the very first
thing the owning player needs to do is see if the
squad continues as normal, disperses from the
battlefield or sticks it to the enemy!
Make a Morale check, ensuring you include all
relevant modifiers.
If the morale check is passed, the unit is still
decimated but does not suffer any effects this
turn and continues to fight as normal.
If the morale check is a failure, do not apply the normal
Failing morale rules in this instance. Instead, if the
squad does not have a combat stat, remove the squad
from the table otherwise roll a single D6 and look up
the result below
1 or 2: Remove the squad. The squad counts
as destroyed (casualties) for the sake of scenario
victory conditions.
3 to 6: Squad is enraged.
Automaton Squads and Decimation
Whilst automaton squads do not take morale checks, it
is entirely possible they will go crazy or disperse from
the battlefield. This is because their control systems
are delicate and can be overloaded if the controller is
not careful. The emotions of the controlling unit seeing
the destruction done the automaton could accidentally
cause the automaton unit to malfunction!
Decimated automaton squads must follow the
decimated rules when the squad activates in the
control range of a friendly unit with control. Of course,
automaton squads do not take morale checks!
When a decimated automaton unit activated, make a
morale check using the morale value of the closest unit
with the control attribute. Work out modifiers as if it
is the automaton making the test and apply the result
above to the automaton squad.
If the squad is not in control range of a friendly
controller when it activates, the squads activation ends
immediately as per the Automaton rules, no need to
roll for decimated status.
38
Enraged Squads
Squads that become enraged remain enraged for
the rest of the game unless the squads model counts
increases to a level that the squad is no longer classed
as decimated.
Enraged squads benefit from a permanent +1 to their
melee stat. However, the squad suffers a permanent
-1 to their defence stat. Enraged squads cannot use
any conscious attribute listed on their profile but they
may continue to use innate attributes. When a squad
becomes enraged, discard any lingering effects that
may be in effect on them at that time.
When an enraged squad activates, the number of
options open to it are limited.
If the enraged squad is not already in combat, it must
move directly towards the closest enemy squad. This
move is considered a charge and the squad gains the
charge movement modifier of +D3 even if it does not
make contact with the target unit.
The squad must still abide by the rest of the rules
for charging, so if its movement would normally be
modified in a negative manner, it will not receive the
charge bonus.
If the squad is already in combat, it must fight the
combat as usual taking into account the changes to its
melee and defence stat. The unit CAN NOT attempt to
disengage.
Some units, such as the Unmann, can merge to form a
new, larger unit through an attribute. In these situations,
even if the enraged unit has an attribute allowing it to
do so, the unit cannot merge with another unit during
its activation.
Another unit with an attribute that would normally
allow it to merge with the decimated unit may merge
with the enraged unit. When this happens, if the new
unit does not qualify as a decimated unit, the enraged
status is removed.
If the new unit does still qualify as a decimated unit, the
enraged status is carried over to the new unit.
The Maaj saturates the world, maybe a little more than
it used to thanks to the Vaettir. A bit unpredictable, you
cant rely on those Maaj casters to always pull off what
you want when you want.
Who can Cast Spells?
Units with the Caster attribute are Maaj casters and
are the only profile that can interact with the Maaj and
bring its effects to the table.
They have two values following the Caster attribute on
their profiles. The first value is the Knowledge value
and the second is the Power value.
Knowledge
The units Knowledge represents just how versatile
the unit can be when it comes to the Maaj. Before the
game, the player chooses a total number of spells from
the general spell list where the combined Knowledge
value of the spells chosen is no greater than the units
Knowledge value.
Spells purchased with the units Knowledge value are
in addition to the spells already listed on the profile.
If a Maaj casting units Knowledge value is zero, the
unit may not take additional spells and may only use
those on their profile.
The Knowledge value of a unit is for the whole unit and
not per model in the unit. In the case of squads with the
Knowledge attribute, spells are bought for the entire
unit and not per model.
Power
The units Power represents how good they are at
manipulating the Maaj.
The power value shown on a profile is the power rating
of each model in the unit.
Add together the power value for each model in a unit
to find out the number of power dice available to a unit
to cast spells during its activation.
This is done at the start of each turn for all casters on
the table to find out the caster units power dice for
that turn. As the unit takes casualties, the number of
power dice available to the unit will drop.
Whilst we list the power value per model, the
unit shares the power dice of all its members, so
no need to keep track of individual members, just
group them together and track it for the unit.
The Structure of a Spell
The spells will be made up with a number of
values:
Knowledge: The cost to purchase the spell
before the game begins. This value is added
to the Knowledge value of the other spells chosen
for a caster and the total value must not exceed the
casters Knowledge value.
Spells listed on a units profile do not have a Knowledge
value and are automatically available to the unit during
the game (unless specified on the actual profile).
Drain: Some spells require a lot of concentration
and effort to cast. So, when casting these, the caster
can get knackered if they are not careful and reduce
their ability to cast more spells that activation. The
Drain value is the number of power dice that must be
discarded in addition to the power dice being rolled
to cast the spell.
For example, a player wants to cast a spell with a
Drain of 1. They have a power pool of six, so they must
discard one power dice for this spells Drain, leaving
them with five power dice. They now roll the three
they nominated dice they nominated to cast the spell,
leaving them with two power dice to use for another
spell. If they then wanted to cast a second different
spell with a Drain of 1, then they would discard one of
the remaining power dice, leaving them with only one
dice to cast the spell with.
Target: This tells you who can be the eligible
targets of the spell. This may be Enemy Unit, Friendly
Unit, Unit, Independent etc. So, if it just says unit
then you can target any unit, friendly or enemy. If it
says independent, then it must be an Independent,
friendly or enemy. If it mentions enemy then the
target must be an enemy unit. etc
Effect: The main text of the spell describes the
effect it has when cast.
39
 Choosing Spells
Before the start of the game, a player can choose
any number of spells from the generic spells list
(page 41-43) for each of their Maaj casting units.
The total Knowledge value of the spells chosen
for each unit must be equal to or less than the
units Knowledge level.
When choosing spells for your force, the
Knowledge value of a generic spell increases
by 1 for every two instances of the spell in your
force - just like the cost of units increases for every two
instances in your force (see later). As such, the first two
units that take a particular generic spell does so at that
spells Knowledge value. The next two instances of that
spell in your force, taken by other units, increases the
Knowledge value of the spell by 1.
For example, a Knowledge value 1 spell would cost 1
Knowledge for the first two instances, 2 Knowledge for
the third and forth instances, 3 Knowledge for the fifth
and sixth instances and so on.
Spells listed on a units profile are exempt from this as
they have no Knowledge value.
These chosen spells are in addition to the spells listed
on the units profile.
Casting that Spell
During the activation of a unit with the Caster attribute,
the player may attempt to cast any of the spells they
have chosen for that unit or any of the spells already
on the units profile. The player may cast spells before
and/or after movement but not during movement.
Each unit can have as many attempts to cast the same
spell per activation as the player wishes as long as they
have enough power dice for the casting attempts and
each casting attempt is on a unique target.
In order to cast the same spell more than once, the
spells Drain value increases by one for each additional
casting attempt after the first attempt.
For example, a spell with a Drain value of 0 will cost 1
point of Drain on the second casting attempt. For the
third casting attempt, the Drain will be 2 etc.
Unless specifically stated in the spells description, a
unit can only be targeted by a specific spell once per
40
turn, even if cast by multiple casters.
To Cast a Spell
Declare the spell you wish to cast
Declare target.
Discard a number of power dice equal to the
spells Drain value.
Declare power dice to be rolled during casting
attempt
Measure spells range to see if at least one model
from the target unit is in range
If out of range, discard a power die; return
remaining power dice to models dice pool.
Roll power dice
If successful, apply spell effect
If unsuccessful, discard the used power dice,
spell has no effect.
Making the Spell Casting Roll
Once the spell and power dice have been declared, the
player rolls the declared dice. The spell is successfully
cast if one or more 5s or 6s are rolled from all the
power dice rolled.
Most spells only require a single 5+ to be rolled, but
some spells make use of the total number of 5+ you
roll. In these cases, the spell description itself explains
how this takes effect.
Persistent Spells
A persistent spell, once cast, remains in effect until the
casters next activation, at which point the player has
the option to maintain the spell.
Immediately upon activating the caster, prior to other
actions, the player must declare which in-play persistent
spells cast by that caster they will be maintaining. They
must then discard a number of power dice for each
spell equal to one power die plus the Drain value of the
spell. Each of the maintained spells remains in place
and the spells effect continues.
Any spells not maintained are removed from play.
Whilst a casting unit can target a unit with multiple
persistent spells in a single activation, the casting unit
can only have a single persistent spell maintained on
the target unit at any one time.
For the caster to maintain a second persistent spell on
that unit, the current persistent spell affecting the unit must be removed by the caster at the time of the casters
activation.

Casters Death and their Persistent Spells

If a caster is removed from the table whilst they have persistent spells in play, all the casters persistent spells
are immediately removed from play.

Failure of Morale and Persistent spells

If a caster is maintaining persistent spells at the time the caster fails a morale check remove the maintained spells
from play immediately.

If a unit with persistent spells maintained on it fails a morale check, all the persistent spells affecting it that are maintained
by friendly casters are immediately removed from play.

 The Army Lists

We make every effort to ensure our system is balanced. We even give plenty of time in alpha and beta stages so you,
the player, can help out and feedback.

As such, we do not feel we need to limit units within your force beyond what you want to take. After all, on a battle
field the size that Relics represents its entirely possible that an all Highlander force would be seen

Instead of limiting the player to what they can use in their force by limiting the number of units available, Relics uses
a sliding scale on its points system to determine the cost of units

This approach allows players to build a truly themed force of whatever units they want but goes a little way to penalise
them for not selecting a broad range of units. After all, we all know that a balanced force is best, but we also love to
play those themed armies too.

How does it work?

It is quite simple, when working out unit costs, follow this simple stepped process:

The first two units purchased from a profile cost the points value as shown in the profile.

The third and fourth units purchases cost the points value as shown in the profile plus and additional 10%

The fifth and sixth units purchases cost the points value as shown in the profile plus and additional 20%

And so on. If you end up with a fraction after working out the new cost of the unit, round it down.

48
So, lets look at an example of a player wishing to use five units of 9 Britanan Troopers in their force. The player would
work out the costings as follows

Units 1 and 2: 54 points per unit (9 models at 6 points each)

Units 3 and 4: 59 points per unit (54 +10%)

Unit 5: 64 (54 +20%)

If the player wishes to have units of the same profile but with a different number of models in the units, they will always
work out the costing of the units to save the most points

For example, taking a similar example as above, a player takes two units of 9 Britanan Troopers and one unit of 6 Britanan
Troopers. The player may elect to pay for the units as follows:

Unit 1 and 2: 54 points each (the two units of 9 Troopers)

Unit 3: 39 points (6 Troopers at 6 points each, plus the additional 10% added to the unit cost)

For a total cost of 147 points

They would not work them out as:

Unit 1: 36 points (the 6 Trooper unit)

Unit 2: 54 points (the first of the 9 Trooper unit)

Unit 3: 59 points (the second of the 9 Trooper unit)

For a total of 149 points
