It was the time of the Sundering. Civilization tore itself asunuler and the yods themselves wept to see the beauty despoiled. Brother fought brother, father fought son, and no mother was spared the grief of slaughtered kin. Disguised by a mask of light, malice spread like a disease amongst the unvary. Where it walked, treachery blossomed; where it spoke, corruption spread. Once more Chaos reached out and its vile hhand cast a shadow over the fair lands of Ulebusn. Blinded by the light of our own creation, we forged a new world, ignorant of the prophecies that stalked our every step. So it was that Malekith the Fair, Malekith the Noble, Malekith the Traitor hid amongst us. “The son of Acniarion worked his vile plots under the guise of honout. The prophecy had come true and thus a descendant of the line of Aenarion would pierce the bright heart of our nation. War intensified his thirst for blood, and ambition grew ever stronger, darkening his heart. Evil struck unseen at our souls. Our leaders were betrayed and one by one they succumbed. Those that saw through the deception were murdered before they could spread warning. Malekith, th Master of Darkness, grew ever more pawerlul Betrayal stung the soul of every Elf, treachery ate at our hearts. Those who had once tought tw save the land now broke down the towers and defiled all that was beautiful. Destruction was their jal and murder was their war cry, but we would not bow to the darkness. United under one bariner we fought to save all we had built. Those who chase to enslave us saw thiat ‘we would not fal. In their spite they sought to destroy what they could not id so came the Sundering. They broke the lands with terrible magics, and for a time Ulthuan looked as though ic ‘would vanish beneath the tides. Such is oui glory, in death we still shone. Powers older than the dawn of time fought at our side and saved tis. Victory has its price and to this day we pay with tears. We mourn the loss of our friencls and ever guard against their murderers We are ever-liviag, Our spirit is immortal, and long after th out people crumbles to dust we shall still ive on. For we are the Asur and for as long as there is light then we will shineTHE ELVEN WARHOST “We, the Asm, are a noble people, our lng and proud history stretching back too time when Men were sill fur-clad savages.

The amy list gives, individual model a points value which represents its ilties on the tabletop. The higher a model's points value the better it is in one or more respects: stronger, tougher, faster, better leadership, and so on, The value of the army is simply the value of all the models added together. As well as providing points costs, the list also divides the army into its constituent units. The list describes the ‘weapons and optional equipment that troops can have and occasionally restric the number of very powerful units an army can include. Ie would be very silly indeed if an army were to consist entirely of Tiranoc Chariots or Princes on Gaiffons. The resultant game would be a frustrating and unbalanced affair if not a complete waste of time, We employ army lists to ensure that this does not happen! HOW THE ARMY LIST IS INTENDED TO BE USED Army lists enable two players to choose armies of equal points value to fight a battle, as described in. the main body of the Warhammer rules. The following list has been constructed with chis purpose in mind. The list can also be used when playing specific sees either those described in the Warhammer culebook or ‘others, including ones invented by che players. la this ease, the list provides a framework which the players can adapt aay required. It might, for example, be felt necessary 0 increase or decrease the number of characters or units allowed, or to restrict or remove uptions in the standard list such a5 magic items or monstrous mounts. If you refer to the Scenarios section of th hammer rulebook (Pages 196-213), you'll find some examples of this kind, ARMY LIST ORGANISATION The army list is divided into four sections: CHARACTERS These represent the most able, skilled and successful indi in your army: extraordinary leaders such as Princes and Mages. They form a vital and potent past of your forces. CORE UNITS Core units represent the most common warriors. They usually form the bulk of the army and will often bear the beunt of the fighting, SPECIAL UNITS Special units are the best of your warriors, scouring forces, and chariots. They ure available t0 your army’ in limited numbers. RARE UNITS, Rare units are so called because they are scarce compared to your ordinary oops. They represent unique units, uncommon creatuses and unusual machines CHOOSING AN ARMY Both players choose armies to the same agreed points value. Most players find that 2,000 points is about right fora battle that will this is the maximum number of points you can spend on your army. You can spend less and will probably find ie is impossible to use up every last point. Most 2,000 points armies will therefore be something like 1,998. oi 1,999 points, bur they are still "2,000° points armies for our purposes. st over an evening. Whatever value you agres, (Once you have decided on a total points value itis time to choose your foree,aac ecccnrercmenes Choosing Characters Characters are divided into two broad categories: Lords (dhe most power characters) and Heroes (the rest). The maximum number of characters an army can include is shown on the chart below. Army Max. Total Max. Max. Points Value Characters. Lords. Heroes Less than 2,000 3 ° 3 2,000 or more 4 l 4 3,000 or more 6 2 6 4000 or more 8 3 8 Each +1,000 42 +1 42 An army does not have to include the maximum number of characters allowed, it can always include fewer than indicated. However, an army must always include at least ‘one character: the General. An army does not have 10 include Londs, it can include all ofits characters as Heroes if you prefer. Ac the beginning of the bartle use the Intrigue AtCourt rule (page 12) to choose a General, and make sure that you let your opponent know who it is For example, a 2,500 points army could include a Prince (Lond), a Mage (Hero), and two Commanders (2 Heroes) li, four characters in total, of which one is a Lord) Choosing Troops ‘Troops are divided into Core, Special and Rare units, The number of each type of unit available depends on the army's points valu, indicated on the chart belo Army Core Rare Points Value Units Units Les than 2,000 2 on 2,000 or more 3+ 02 3,000 oF more 4+ 03 44000 or more 5+ 06 ot Ech $1,000 +1 minimum = 40-1 +041 In some cases other limitations may apply to a particular kin of unit. This i specified in the unit entry. For example, the Phoenix Guard Rare unit entry is accompanied by a note explaining that a maximum of one unit of this kind ccm be included in the army. Unit Entries Each unit is represented by an entry in the army list. The unit's name is given and any limitations that upply are explained Profiles. The characteristic profiles for the troops in each unit are given in the unit entry. Where several profiles are required, these are also given even if, as in many cases, they ure optional. ee Unit Sizes. Each entry specifies the minimum size for euch, unit. In the case of Core units this is usually 10 models. In the case of other units itis usually less. There are exceptions as you will see. In some cases, units also have a maximum, Weapons and Armour Each entey lists the standant weapons and armour for that uni type. The value ofthese items s included in the points value. Additional or optional weapons and urmour cost extra and are covered in the Options section of the unit entry. Options. Lists the different weapon, armour and equipment options for the unit and any additional points cost for taking them. It may also include the option to upgrade a unit member into a Champion. While this model usually hus a specific name (the Champion of a White Lions ‘unit is called a Guardian, for example) all che cules that apply to Champions apply to them. See the appropriate section of the Warhammer rulebook for details (pages 108-109) Special Rules. Many troops have special rules, which are fully described elsewhere in this hook. These rules are also summarised for your convenience in the army list. Ie would be a long and tedious business ¢o repeat all the special rules for every nie within the army list itself The army list is intended primarily asa tool for choosing attnies rather than for presenting game rules. Wherever possible we have indicated where special rules apply and, where space permits, we have provided notes within the list as “memory joggers’. Bear in mind that these descriptions are not necessarily exhaustive or definitive and players should refer to the main rules fora full account. Dogs of War Dogs of War are troops of other races who are prepared to fight under your flag in return for money, food, or some other suitable reward. The most common type of Dogs of War unit are the Regiments of Renown, Although the «wo terms are used to deseribe mercenary units, hoth work in the same way in the army list A selection of such regiments are available as part of the Dogs of War range of models. ‘The descriptions and rules for these very specialised units can be found in White Dwarf magazine or the Warhammer Annual. ‘The option to include Dogs of War units is included in the army list as part of the Rare rroops section, However, certain Regiments of Renown are mote commonly aviluble and can be included in an amay as & Special choice instead dof a Rare choice, Some Dogs of War may also take up addltional Rare choices, or choices from your Churueter entries, The rules for individual Regiments of Renown detail exactly which armies may take them and which army list choices they use up.
