 CREATING AN ARMY
Preparation
Agree with your opponent on a points value for your respective
armies. The points value of your army must not exceed this limit,
not even slightly (nor may your army be more than a few points
below the agreed limit). If, for example, you agree on a limit of
2000, your army will be a 2000-point army for the purposes of
army selection, even if it does not contain exactly 2000 points.
Also, agree with your opponent whether the scenario to be used
should be decided before assembling your armies. Note that
most objectives are best achieved with a good number of rank-
and-file regiments.
Document on an army roster everything that your army includes,
the lore your wizards utilise, and how many points each unit
costs. Designate a character from among those with the highest
leadership as the general. Note that neither the battle standard
bearer nor regimental champions can serve as the army
general. This roster is kept secret but must be shown to your
opponent once the battle is over. Spells are assigned just before
you deploy your army.
Limitations
At least half of the total points value (50%) of the army must be
spent on regiments, including magic banners for regimental
standard bearers (but excluding regimental champions).
Some options in the army books are labelled 0-1, indicating that
they are rare and only one such option can be included in the
army. If you play a large battle, you might want to agree with
your opponent to allow two of each rare regiment rather than
just one.
No regiment may include fewer than 50 points worth of models.
This price excludes regimental champions, magic banners, and
any models concealed within the regiment (such as Night Goblin
Fanatics).
The minimum size for infantry and cavalry regiments is five
models. For monstrous regiments, the minimum size is three
models. Champions do count towards this number as they are
an integral part of the regiment.
Note that a regiment may only include a champion if the
regiment's entry in the army book allows for one. Also, note that
a regiment may only include one champion model (unless
otherwise specified).
3
Standard bearer and musician
Every regiment gets a musician and a standard bearer for free,
except for fast cavalry and monstrous regiments. These two
latter types of regiments get a free musician but have to pay 10
points if they want a standard bearer. Note that a few rank-and-
file units are unable to take standards and musicians; this is
specifically mentioned in the army books. Keep in mind that
skirmishers cannot have standard bearers, only musicians. If a
regiment with a standard bearer deploys in skirmish formation,
the standard is forfeited, and the standard bearer is replaced
with a regular trooper.
Every regiment that includes a standard bearer may have a
magic banner. The entire regiment and all characters within it
benefit from the effects of magic banners. Battle standard
bearers also benefit from the magical banner they carry.
Equipment and magic items
The special members of a regiment; champions, musicians, and
standard bearers, have the same equipment as the rest of the
unit.
No character model may have more than one shield, piece of
armour, missile weapon or melee weapon (in addition to the one
hand weapon they automatically carry). Only regular mounts
may be given barding; monsters or flying mounts may not.
All magic items (and all other entries that take up a magic item
slot) are unique; your army may only include one of each. A
character may only carry a magic item if they could have taken
the item's mundane counterpart (e.g., a model may only take a
magic shield if it could have taken an ordinary shield). Since all
characters are assumed to carry a hand weapon, all may take a
magical hand weapon. All magic items retain their mundane
properties (e.g., a magical two-handed weapon provides a +2
strength bonus in addition to its magical attributes).
A character may hold only one magic weapon and use only one
piece of magic armour. Every character who can wear a piece
of armour may also wear a magical helmet. There is no limit to
the number of enchanted and arcane items a character may
carry, except the total limit on magic items outlined in the army
books. Only wizards may carry arcane items and familiars. Note
that special characters cannot be given additional magic items
or additional equipment unless specifically mentioned in their
description.

The first time we were given an in-depth background article on
a Warhammer Fantasy Army. White Dwarf 146, from Balder
Asmussen’s private collection.
ARMY WIDE RULES
Full-Plate Armour
Empire Knights wear full-plate armour. This type of heavy
armour provides a 4+ armour save on its own.
Auxiliaries
The Empire army may include auxiliary contingents comprising
Flagellants, Free Company, Kislev Troops, Halflings, Dwarfs,
and Ogres. Only half of the total number of regiments (rounded
up) in the Empire army may be auxiliaries.
Detachments
Soldiers of the Empire train daily in specialised tactics that hinge
on discipline – the detachment system. Detachments are
smaller regiments that stay close to their parent regiment to
protect flanks and offer support through the use of missile
weapons or by harassing the enemy's flanks.
The following types of soldiers can serve as parent regiments
for detachments: Reiksguard Foot Knights, Halberdiers,
Spearmen, Greatswords, and Swordsmen. Each can have two
5
detachments. The regiments that may serve as detachment
regiments are: Halberdiers, Spearmen, Greatswords,
Swordsmen, Free Company, Crossbowmen, Handgunners, and
Archers. This implies that Free Company, Archers,
Crossbowmen, and Handgunners can only be detachments, not
parent units, while Reiksguard Foot Knights can only be parent
units, not detachments. Which regiments function as parent
regiments for detachments is noted on the army roster.
The combined size of the two detachments cannot exceed that
of their parent regiment (including the regimental champion). In
other words, it is possible for a parent unit to have just one
detachment of the same size as its parent regiment. Like all
regiments, no detachment can be smaller than five models and
must cost at least 50 points. A detachment may not have a
command group and will cease to function as a detachment if
joined by characters. Detachment regiments never induce panic
tests in nearby friendly units (for being destroyed, broken, etc.).
Furthermore, as long as the detachment is within 8 inches of its
parent regiment, the following special rules apply: (1)
Detachment regiments may use the highest Leadership value
present in their parent regiment. (2) Detachment regiments may
utilise the musician of their parent regiment, thereby executing
manoeuvres as if they contained a musician themselves.
Note that detachments do not gain any benefits from magical
banners or other magical items carried by their parent regiment
unless those items increase the Leadership value of the parent
regiment. Also, skirmishing detachments do not benefit from the
Leadership value of their parent regiment, as skirmishers take
all Leadership tests based on their own basic Leadership value.
Finally, a detachment within 8 inches of its parent regiment may
declare a charge reaction if the parent regiment is charged. This
can either be (1) stand and shoot or (2) counter-charge. In the
case of the latter, move the enemy first, then move the
detachment. In this situation, the detachment is permitted to
charge the enemy in the flank even if it would normally be
required to charge the front, provided it is physically possible to
move the detachment into the enemy's flank.
Experimental Weapons
The Empire has access to many experimental weapons.
Repeating Handgun: Functions like a normal handgun with the
following exception: each successful hit against the same target
allows one additional roll to hit (up to a maximum of six 'to-hit'
rolls per handgun).
Repeating Pistol: Functions like a normal pistol with the
following exception: each successful hit against the same target
allows one additional roll to hit (up to a maximum of six 'to-hit'
rolls per pistol).

Crewed by three halflings. May take up to two extra crewmen
for +5 pts per model.
0-8 Steam Tanks 250 pts
An Empire army can never field more than eight Steam Tanks.
However, only one Steam Tank can be included for each full
1000 pts worth of regiments in the Empire army.
THE STEAM TANK
The Steam Tank is a large chariot powered by a steam engine.
The Steam Tank has its own unique profile, causes terror, and
is unbreakable. The default Steam Tank option includes a small
cannon and has the following characteristics.

• Pivot up to 90 degrees.
• Move 3” forwards or 2” backwards.
• Fire the small cannon or the steam cannon.
Having declared how many steam points you want to use this
turn; it is necessary to see if the steam boiler holds out. Roll a
1D6, if this number exceeds the Steam Tank’s current number
of wounds, roll on the Imperial Steam Tank Boiler Table below
to determine what happens.
The imperial steam boiler table
If you failed the above-mentioned test, roll 1D6 and add the
number of steam points you just declared. Consult the table
below:
1-4: Nothing happens. The Steam Tank functions normally.
5: Great clouds of steam burst from a pipe somewhere. The
Steam Tank is covered in a cloud of steam. The Steam Tank
may not shoot this turn, so all your steam points must be spent
on moving.
6: A leak has developed. You cannot spend more than two
steam points this turn regardless of the number you just
declared.
12
7: The driving mechanism jams. You cannot move the Steam
Tank this turn, but you may fire. Any excess steam points are
wasted.
8: The steam pressure rises too fast. The Steam Tank must
move directly forward 15”, charging the first unit it encounters
(friend or foe) or dealing 1D6 impact hits if already engaged in
combat. The Steam Tank may do nothing else this turn.
9: A minor explosion causes structural damage. The Steam
Tank suffers one wound and does nothing this turn. The
maximum number of steam points the Steam Tank can use is
henceforth one less than declared. If this result is rolled several
times, it will reduce the maximum steam points that can be used
by one each time.
10: A major explosion wrecks the boiler. The Steam Tank
suffers one wound and cannot move again in this game (it may
still shoot, however).
11: The Steam Tank explodes (count as slain).
Moving
The Steam Tank moves like a chariot except that (1) it cannot
pivot on the spot for free, (2) it obliterates any obstacles it
encounters, (3) it can neither pursue nor overrun (nor flee, since
it is unbreakable).
The Steam Tank declares charges as normal, and the enemy is
allowed normal charge reactions. The Steam Tank halts its
movement when it reaches an enemy unit.
The Steam Tank cannot charge unengaged skirmishers or
independent models on bases of 20x20 mm or 25x25 mm.
Simply move these models out of harm’s way if the Steam Tank
comes into contact with them.
The Steam Tank does not fight in melee combat as such but
delivers 1D6 S7 impact hits on the charge. The Steam Tank may
always disengage from melee combat.
It is perfectly legal to move first backwards, then forwards
(spending two steam points), and in so doing disengage from
combat and then charge again (making impact hits). It is only
possible, however, to charge once per turn.
Shooting
The Steam Tank may be equipped with a small cannon and/or
a steam cannon. Both may fire once during the shooting phase
(even if the Steam Tank is engaged in melee combat) if
sufficient steam points have been allocated for this purpose
(one for each weapon fired).
The small cannon fires exactly as a small cannon, except that it
cannot pivot for free but must fire directly forward. The cannon
has range 36”, S7 and deals 1D3 wounds. The first time a SPECIAL CHARACTERS
misfire is rolled for firing the cannon, the Steam Tank suffers a

Variants
The default option Imperial Steam Tank comes equipped with a
small cannon and an engineer armed with a repeating pistol (at

crewmen may fight in the melee phase. Each
crewman is armed differently. The list of experimental
weapons includes one of each of the following: (1) a
Hochland long rifle, (2) a repeater hand gun, (3) a
blunderbuss, (4) a man catcher, (5) a hook halberd,

ARCANE ITEMS
Acolytes 10 pts each
One Imperial Light Wizard on foot may be accompanied by up
to five acolytes helping the wizard muster the intricate Winds of
Magic.
An acolyte is strictly speaking not a magic item and therefore
their presence cannot be nullified. Nevertheless, being
accompanied by one or more acolytes means the Light Wizard
can carry one less magic item than usually permitted.
15
An acolyte has the same characteristics as an ordinary human
(such as a state trooper) and carries an additional hand weapon.
He must follow his master around the battlefield just as a
familiar.
As long the Light Wizard is in base contact with one acolyte,
both are unengaged, have not marched, or made a failed
charge, the Light Wizard may cast one Light Magic spell per
magic phase with one less power card than usually required.

choose his spells.

In the Warhammer Armies supplement for the 3rd and 4th editions, Bretonnia was depicted as a harsh, corrupt feudal society. However,
by the 5th edition, Bretonnia emerged as a realm of chivalry, transforming it into a fairy-tale kingdom where even peasants could become
barons. This chivalrous rendition, though formidable on the battlefield, offered limited troop choices, mainly knights and men-at-arms,
omitting the ordinary peasants and war machines. The 6th edition redressed this, reintroducing war machines and emphasizing peasant
levies, marking the return of a darker Warhammer World. In Warhammer Renaissance, players have a choice: field the darker, original
version of Bretonnia with its war machines and peasants (default option) or opt for the romanticized Bretonnia blessed by the Lady of the
Lake, featuring the Lance Formation and devoid of common peasants (see the “Heroic Army” appendix). Both interpretations are
recognized in Warhammer Renaissance. Picture from the battle report in White Dwarf 153, from Balder Asmussen's private collection.

HEROIC ARMY
Players who wish to field the Bretonnia army as it was played in
5th edition can utilize these Heroic Army rules. The Heroic
Bretonnia army may not include peasants or war machines.
Knightly characters will not join Men at Arms. Instead, a heroic
Bretonnia army may ask for the Lady’s Blessing, the knights
may ride in the Lance Formation, and the archers may use the
Arrowhead Formation.

The Lady’s Blessing

Before deployment the Bretonnia player may announce that he

is asking for The Lady’s Blessing. If he does so, all knights
dismount and kneel, praying for the Lady of the Lake to bestow
upon them protection against enemy missiles. This
automatically allows the opponent the first turn (whether the
opponent want first turn or not, there is no choice), but also
grants all Bretonnia knights (chevaliers and knightly characters)
as well as any unmarried female wizards a 4+ ward save vs. any
sort of missile fire (mundane as well as magical).

The Lance Formation

Regiments of Bretonnia Knights riding horses may deploy in

either normal formation or lance formation and may change
between the two formations during the game by means of a
complete reform manoeuvre.
Diagram of the lance formation in combat. White Dwarf 204,
The lance formation has a single knight in the front rank, two in

the second rank, three in the third and so forth. Line of sight of
the entire regiment is measured from the front model.
Please note a significant drawback concerning the lance
The lance formation can perform no manoeuvres (like pivot on formation. It can only charge enemies within the front model's
the spot) but can only wheel (remember no model can move line of sight. Hence, it is possible to place models outside line of

 DOGS OF WAR
White Dwarf 225, Balder Asmussen’s private collection.
In the turbulent realms of the Warhammer world, there exists a
brotherhood as varied as it is infamous – the Dogs of War.
These mercenaries, bound not by kingdom or creed but by the
glint of gold and the promise of glory, hail from every corner of
the known world, offering their swords to the highest bidder.
The Dogs of War are no mere band of brigands or common sell-
swords. They are a complex tapestry of legendary figures, each
with a story soaked in blood, each with a legacy forged in the
crucible of battle. From the blighted depths of Sylvania to the
shimmering shores of Lustria, their names are whispered with a
mixture of fear and awe.
Amongst their number, you will find the infamous mercenary
general, Borgio the Besieger, whose appetite for conquest is
only matched by his indomitable will to survive. You will tread
the perilous path of Asarnil the Dragonlord, an exile from
Ulthuan who soars high on Deathfang, his scaly steed, selling
his allegiance to those in dire need of aerial might. You will stand
shoulder to shoulder with the notorious Birdmen of Catrazza,
whose death-defying aerial dives bring swift death from above.
27
The Dogs of War do not march to the beat of a single drum.
Theirs is a symphony of disparate cultures and methods of
warfare. Pike regiments stand in solid phalanxes beside duelling
swordsmen from the southern realms. Cannons stolen from the
Dwarfs of the hold, or hired from the workshops of Nuln, fire
alongside the notorious Halfling Hot Pot catapult.
In this tome, you shall find not just descriptions of these sell-
swords, but also the history of their battles, the tales of their
most heroic deeds, and the secrets of their martial prowess.
From their mercantile deals with the trading princes of Tilea to
the clandestine contracts with the scheming nobles of the
Empire, the Dogs of War ply their trade with sword and cannon,
with stealth and strength.
ARMY WIDE RULES
A Dogs of War army is a mercenary army fighting for a Warlord
situated in The Old World. This Lord or Lady would typically be
of Tilean origin but may come from anywhere in the Old World.
Even though the army may comprise of a variety of races, the
General and the Paymaster (the Dogs of War equivalent of a
Battle Standard Bearer, see below) must be Human Characters
and the army must include at least one Human Regiment with
origins in The Old World (this excludes Norse, as Norsca isn’t
considered The Old World as such).
Furthermore, Human Regiments from the Old World are
mainstay. The number of such regiments in the army restricts
the maximum number of any other regiment or war machine the
army may include. For example, a Dogs of War army with two
Human Regiments with Old World origins can include up to two
Halfling Bowmen, up to two Cannons and so forth.
Dogs of War armies do not include Battle Standards but Pay
Chests and Paymasters who carry them. The regiment
containing the Paymaster (there can be only one) becomes
unbreakable as long the Paymaster remains alive. Furthermore,
Dogs of War units within 12” of the Paymaster have their LD
boosted by +1. Contrary to Battle Standard Bearers,
Paymasters suffer no restrictions on what equipment they may
carry but they cannot be mounted.

 HIGH ELVES
Ulthuan, the ancestral home of the High Elves, sits amidst the
Great Ocean. It's a beautiful and tough realm that mirrors the
dual nature of its people, being both graceful and yet merciless
in battle. High Elves are remnants of a bygone era, their
civilisation casts long shadows of its past glory.
Despite being in decline, the High Elves never step away from
the world's affairs. They continue spreading knowledge and
civilisation, often standing as a bulwark against chaos. But these
proud warriors also involve themselves in intrigues and conflicts,
and internal rivalries are not uncommon.
High Elven society is a complex feudal hierarchy. Noble houses,
some older than Ulthuan itself, constantly strive for dominance.
Their history is as nuanced and intricate as their Elven
language, filled with hidden meanings. Prestige among nobles
is often linked to their mastery of this complex language.
The military power of the High Elves mirrors their rigid social
hierarchy. The archers are trained from youth, their skills honed
over centuries. The stalwart spearmen form resolute lines that
seldom yield to the enemy. Above them ride the noble knights
of the Silver Helms, their valour shining as they plunge headfirst
into the heart of battle.
In High Elf society, the noble blood that grants one the right to
command often fails to ensure competence. Birthright, rather
than merit, dictates leadership, leading to a military commanded
by those whose abilities often fall short of their noble titles. The
case of General Forenrond is a glaring example. Despite his
high birth, his strategic blunders are legendary, hindering his
troops more often than leading them to victory. At the same
time, warriors of exceptional talent like Tyrion often find their
path to leadership blocked by the rigid constraints of ancestry
and court intrigue. Despite these obstacles, such individuals
often bear the weight of war, their skills shining brightly on the
High Elves by Mafu Street.

battlefield. Unfortunately, their full potential remains
unrecognised, hampered by a system that values lineage over
merit, resulting in inefficiencies that the High Elves can ill afford
in these trying times.
The realm of the High Elves remains a beacon of hope in a world
on the brink of chaos. Their story a stark reminder of sacrifices
made for duty and honour. As their numbers dwindle, they
continue their dance of life and death, echoing their former glory.
ARMY WIDE RULES
Elven stoicism
Dark Elves despise High Elves, yet the feeling isn't mutual. High
Elves, excluding non-elf entities in their army, remain resolute
against Dark Elves. When a resolute unit undergoes an LD test
- be it panic, break, or otherwise - they can roll an additional 1D6
and discard the highest result.
Lightweight barding
High Elf armour is lightweight, ensuring Elven cavalry face no
movement reduction for donning barding.
Dragon armour
When High Elf Battle-Standard Bearers, Heroes, Lords, and
Dragon Princes wear non-magical heavy armour, this is always
assumed to be Dragon armour, granting immunity to fire and
flaming attacks.
Dragon rage
High Elf Dragons, fiercely loyal, roll 3D6 for the Monster
Reaction Table, unlike the standard 2D6.

MAGIC WEAPONS
Forenrond’s Sword 0 pts
The bearer of this ancient heirloom becomes the general by
birth-right regardless of his/her LD value (even if the bearer is a
regimental champion or battle standard bearer).
The bearer forfeits all normal attacks on his profile and instead
makes 4 attacks that hit and wound on 2+ and allow no armour
save, and each wound multiplies into 1D3 wounds.
As the bearer of this blade is brave but incompetent at
commanding, the High Elf player suffers the following
disadvantages: The High Elf player never chooses sides,
always (and this means always regardless of all other rules)
deploys before his opponent, and never takes first turn (unless
his opponent insists that he does). Furthermore, the army
cannot make use of the scout and vanguard special rules. Can
only be taken in armies of at least 2000 pts.
Do you think it is worth it? Then take it.
Bow of the Old-World Colonies 20 pts
Longbow. May shoot as many (non-magical) shots as the bearer
has attacks using the bearer’s strength.

Can only be taken by a Shield Maiden of the Everqueen. The
whole regiment becomes equipped with magic flaming arrows
which hit with S4. Arrows of Isha cannot be nullified and does
not disappear if the bearer dies.
Fangsword of Eltharion 40 pts
-3 to armour save. All models in base contact with the bearer
suffer -1A.
Moonbow 40 pts
Longbow. Hits are at S6 and allow no armour save, each wound
multiplies into 1D3 wounds. Hits penetrate like a single shot
from a bolt thrower. Any Regiment of Dark Elves taking a
casualty from the Moonbow must take an immediate panic test.

 WOOD ELVES
When the High Elves abandoned their Old World colonies, some
opted to stay behind. These remaining elves evolved into the
Wood Elves. Forsaking the towering spires and intricate
architecture of their former civilizations, the Wood Elves found
solace in the ancient groves and shadowy glades scattered
throughout the Old World. Among these refuges, the Lorelei
Woods in the Empire and Athel Loren in Bretonnia emerged as
their most significant strongholds.

Their society underwent a transformation, centring itself around

the forest. They formed alliances with its ancient inhabitants,
including the inscrutable Treemen and wild forest spirits like the
Dryads. In doing so, they diverged from the aesthetic and
cultural traditions of their elfin kin, becoming something entirely
unique. They adopted aspects of the woodland environment into
their appearance, attire, and weaponry.

The Wood Elves maintain an army as diverse as the forest they

call home. Wielding longbows of unparalleled craftsmanship,
the Glade Guard serve as master archers, neutralizing enemies
before they can penetrate the forest's boundaries. Way
watchers and War dancers engage in daring reconnaissance
and guerrilla warfare, while the mighty Treemen and sprightly
Dryads offer robust physical support. And then there are the
Elven Lords, noble warriors mounted on swift horses, who
embody the valour of the Wood Elves.

Mike McVey’s War Dancers, White Dwarf 144. From Balder

Wood Elf War Dancers 16 pts
War Dancers with shields. The shield does not provide an
armour save but increases the War Dancer’s ward save from 6+
to 5+.
Immune to psychology, natural dispel 4+, ward save 6+ (5+ if
they use shields). War Dancers always move like skirmishers
(and the enemy suffers -1 to hit when shooting at them) but War
Dancers do not suffer the penalties for skirmishing. They may
use a character’s LD. They can take a standard bearer and a
musician. They can negate enemy rank bonuses. They can get
bonuses for having extra ranks when forming up for melee
combat. They can claim victory points.
In addition, War Dancers can move over other units (friends and
foes alike) provided they have enough movement to get clear of
the unit. War Dancers may always march regardless of enemy
units being within 8” at the start of their move. Note that War
Dancers lose this particular ability when joined by characters
who are not War Dancers themselves.
In each round of combat that they fight, the War Dancers must
choose one of the following war dances to perform. They cannot
choose the same dance in two consecutive rounds of combat in
the same combat engagement.
1/ Whirling Death: +1 attack.
2/ Woven Mist: all enemies suffer -1 to hit against the War
Dancers.
3/ The Shadows Coil: the War Dancers strike no blows, and no
enemy models may strike at the War Dancers. The combat is a
draw regardless of combat resolution.
45
4/ Storm of Blades: all War Dancers in the troupe strike against
the same model, regardless of whether they are in fighting
position or not.
• May swap shields for additional hand weapons for +4
pts per model.
• The regiment may be joined by a War Dancer
Champion equipped like the rest of the regiment for
the price of 30 pts + the cost of one trooper (may take
1 magic item).
0-1 Wood Elf Way Watchers 18 pts
Way Watchers with Wood Elf Longbows.
May scout. Must skirmish.
Way Watchers wholly positioned within a wood are always
hiding. Enemies must roll 4+ to charge or shoot at hiding Way
Watchers (or they must choose another target). If hidden when
they charge an enemy partially within the wood they occupy, the
Way Watchers gain +1 to hit against this enemy. Furthermore,
when hidden, the Way Watchers are positioned above ground
level in the canopy of the wood itself. In this position they can
see over the battlefield as if standing on a hill.
If an enemy unit enters (touch) a wood occupied by Way
Watchers, the enemy activates traps set by the Way Watchers.
Roll 1D6 to see what happens.
1/ Nothing: the enemy unit avoids the trap.
2/ Spikes: the enemy unit suffers 1D6 strength 4 hits as from
shooting.
3/ Snares: the enemy unit is caught in snares and stops its
movement one inch into the wood.
4/ Nets: as above. In addition, the enemy unit is unable to strike
back if it is charged in the next Wood Elf player turn.
5/ Camouflaged pit: the enemy unit suffers 2D6 strength 5 hits
as from shooting.
6/ Impaler: a single model in the enemy unit suffers a strength 7
hit which inflicts D6 wounds with no armour save. Determine
which model in the front rank is hit randomly, no ‘Look Out, Sir’
roll is allowed.
• May take additional hand weapons for +2 pts per

 DARK ELVES
as the Sundering, the culmination of a protracted civil war where
the faction that would eventually become the Dark Elves
contended that Malekith was the rightful heir to the Phoenix
Throne, the paramount seat of elven authority.

Malekith's rule is considered more just by the Dark Elves

because he offers positions to the most capable individuals.
They practice a meritocracy, which is a stark contrast to the
ineffective and unfair feudal system of the High Elves. Despite
the High Elves' refusal to acknowledge Malekith's claim, the
Dark Elves view him as their true leader and the legitimate
Phoenix King. They see him as embodying the strength and
resilience required to lead their race. In their eyes, Malekith is
an able sovereign as he surrounds himself with only the most
ruthless and shrewd advisers.

The Dark Elves have an unwavering desire to reclaim Ulthuan

and reestablish their dominance over the elven homeland. To
achieve this goal, they are constantly plotting and scheming,
with Malekith's mother, Morathi, playing a central role in their
covert machinations.

Dark Elves have a notorious reputation for their cruel practices

as slavers and raiders. They frequently embark on naval
expeditions and lightning-fast land raids, capturing prisoners to
serve as slaves in their cities. Their twisted society thrives on
the suffering of these captives.

Dark Elf society follows a strict hierarchy, where power and

card or a dispel card in each magic phase. Witch King’s Armour
supplies an armour save of 3+. In addition, enemies suffer -1 to
hit (both in melee combat and against missiles) against the
Witch King and his mount. The Witch King may wear this armour
(and even the Spellshield) and still cast spells. The Spellshield
is a shield and supplies a 4+ natural dispel. Any successful

per power card spent. No armour save allowed. Destroyer is a
magic weapon. If an opponent with magic items or spells is hit,
The Destroyer will steal a random item or spell from that model
on a roll of 4+ with 1D6 (roll for each hit, but only one power can

power until a new power is stolen. The old power is discarded if
still unused when a new power is stolen.
Tullaris of Har Ganeth 200 pts
Hero. Wears heavy armour and carries the Executioner’s Axe

Executioner’s Axe is a double handed weapon. If a roll of 6 is
rolled when attempting to wound, the enemy is slain outright (no
armour save allowed). Works on roughly man-sized models only
(not models on 40x40 mm bases or larger). If the victim is not
killed outright, each wound multiplies to 1D3 wounds. The Black
Amulet is an enchanted item which confers a ward save 4+. Any
wound saved is rebounded against the attacker (no armour save
allowed).
Shadowblade, Master of Assassins 150 pts

Follows the Assassin rules explained in the character section.

Crone Hellebron, The Hag Queen 450 pts
Lord. Frenzy. Wears light armour. Hellebron is unique because
she carries two magic weapons. She makes seven attacks with
the Deathsword, granting her S10, and one with her Parrying
Blade (a common magic item, all enemy models in base contact
lose on attack). Rides a Manticore. May take one additional
magic item.
Normal assassins may hide in a Dark Elf infantry regiment.
Shadowblade, however, may instead choose to deploy in an
enemy infantry regiment of humans, elves, orcs, beastmen gors,
bestigors, chaos marauders, chaos warriors, saurus warriors,
zombies, ghouls or hobgoblins. You may reveal that he is
hidden in the beginning of any of your turns. Roll 1D6, on a roll
of 1 Shadowblade was discovered before the battle (count as

regiment you nominated as the one Shadowblade was hiding in.
You may place him directly into combat if you wish. This counts
as his move on the turn he is revealed, in subsequent turns, he
may move normally. Carries two poisoned hand weapons (+1
strength, 1D3 wounds), light armour, a Potion of Strength (a
common magic item, +3S, one use only) and the Heart of Woe:
If the bearer is slain in combat the heart explodes. All models
within a radius equal to the bearer’s original number of wounds

+1D6. Any wound inflicted multiplies into 1D6 wounds. Normal
armour save applies.
MAGIC WEAPONS
Whip of Agony 10 pts
Additional hand weapon. Make the additional attack as a
separate attack. If this is a hit, the target must take a leadership
test at its own basic leadership with 3D6 (2D6 if immune to
psychology); if failed, the target cannot strike back in this melee
combat phase. No roll to wound is taken. Ridden monsters must
use their own leadership, not the rider’s.
Dark Sword 10 pts
A wounded target loses all attacks on his profile for the rest of
the game.

ANIMOSITY
At the start of the turn, before the movement phase, each Orc &
Goblin regiment (excluding Trolls, Ogres, etc.) not engaged in
melee combat or fleeing must undertake an animosity test. War
machines, chariots, and all other units don't test; only regiments.
For an animosity test, roll a single die. On a roll of 1, roll again
(if you roll 2-6 initially, nothing occurs).
If you roll 1-5 on the subsequent roll, the unit members squabble
or remain stationary. During this player's turn, the unit is immune
to psychology and cannot move, shoot, or cast spells. However,
wizards can still attempt dispels and use Dispel Magic Scrolls.
On a roll of 6 for the second dice; the regiment must move 2D6”
towards the nearest enemy unit, following the quickest route
(abiding by standard movement rules). Stop the regiment if it
gets within 1” of the enemy. In the subsequent movement
phase, the regiment must declare a charge against the closest
enemy. If no enemy is within charge range, the regiment must
move as swiftly as possible towards the nearest foe.
TYPES OF ORCS & GOBLINS
This army book provides options to field various types of Orcs
and Goblins: Common Orcs, Savage Orcs, Black Orcs,
Common Goblins, Night Goblins and Forest Goblins.
Hobgoblins are excluded; they're part of the Chaos Dwarf Army.
To field a character of a specific type, you must recruit at least
one regiment of that type. For instance, you can't field Forest
Goblin Shamans without taking at least one unit of Forest
Goblins (Infantry or Spider Riders).
The same principle applies to war machines. I.e. you cannot
field Bolt Throwers with Common Goblin crew if your army does
not include a regiment of Common Goblins (either Infantry or
Wolf Riders).
Finally, the above principle applies to chariots as well. I.e. you
cannot field Orc Boar Chariots if your army does not include a
regiment of Common Orcs (either Infantry or Boar Riders).
Common Orcs
Ignore panic induced by Goblins.
Big’uns
Some Orcs are termed “Big’uns”. They aren't a distinct race, just
particularly large and fierce Common Orcs.
60
Savage Orcs
Savage Orcs are frenzied. Even if they lose their frenzy, Savage
Orcs still ignore panic caused by Goblins.
Savage Orcs never wear armour other than shields, relying
instead on magic tattoos. These tattoos function like light
armour and in addition provide a 6+ ward save, which is
increased to a 5+ ward save if the regiment is joined by a
Savage Orc Shaman (the Shaman himself also benefits from
the 5+ ward save when part of a regiment).
Black Orcs
Black Orcs aren't affected by animosity. Black Orc characters
joining non-Black Orc regiments quell animosity (the regiment
simply disregards the animosity rule).
Black Orcs ignore panic caused by Goblins and other Orc types,
Black Orcs only benefit from the leadership of Black Orc
characters and the general. They feel too superior to heed
others.
War Boars
Common and Savage Orcs can ride War Boars, which improve
the riders' armour save as if barded,
Boar Riders don't endure the movement penalty actual barding
would impose, but they can't serve as fast cavalry due to the
boars' unruly nature.
Due to their tusks, Boars have +2 strength on the charge.
Common Goblins
All Goblins fear Elves unless they outnumber them two-to-one.
Without any Orcs in the army, all Common Goblin character
leadership values increase by one (this includes the special
character Grom).
Night Goblins
Like Common Goblins, Forest Goblins fear Elves unless they
have a two-to-one numerical advantage.
Night Goblins hate Dwarfs (excluding Chaos Dwarfs).
A Night Goblin Shaman possesses one magic mushroom, which
he can consume to gain extra magical abilities. In any magic
phase just after the Winds of Magic are dealt, a Night Goblin
Shaman may eat his mushroom and receive 1D6 extra magic
cards that only he can use. However, when doing this, the
Shaman will automatically fail his toughness test and explode if
he subsequently fails his Waaagh! test.

attacks are poisonous (+1 strength), and they are immune to
poison themselves. In addition, Monstrous Spiders can crawl
straight over obstacles, difficult rocky terrain, buildings, and

The Wyvern is a large flying monster that cause terror. It has a

4+ armour save due to scaly skin.

Night Goblin Infantry 2½ pts
Fear Elves unless they outnumber them two-to-one. Hate
Dwarfs (not Chaos Dwarfs).
Night Goblin Infantry may conceal Night Goblin Fanatics. Up to
three Night Goblin Fanatics may hide in a Night Goblin regiment.
The fanatics are released the moment the Night Goblin regiment
concealing the fanatic moves within 8” of a visible enemy unit or
a visible enemy unit moves within 8” of the Night Goblin
regiment (assume a 360-degree line of sight for this purpose).
The moment the fanatics are released, all movement stops. This
applies even to an enemy charging the Night Goblins. It applies
to fliers, teleporting units, and all other types of units.
A unit that has been halted because it triggered the release of
the fanatics cannot move any further this turn unless it has
declared a charge or is teleporting. In that case, the unit may
choose to finish the charge or teleport move, once the effect of
releasing the fanatics has been resolved.
The only situation where movement is not halted within a
distance of 8” from a Night Goblin regiment concealing the
fanatics is if a flier descends from flying high closer to the
regiment than 8”. This is not a good idea, as it means the flier is
more likely to be hit by the fanatics; thus, it is a situation rarely
seen.
When the fanatics are released, move each fanatic 2D6” out of
the unit from a point decided by the controlling player, in a
direction decided by the controlling player.
In subsequent turns, each fanatic moves in a random direction
(use the scatter die). If, in subsequent turns, the 2D6 for
movement shows a double, the fanatic gets entangled in his ball
and chain and slays himself. If a fanatic’s move takes him into
water, wood, obstacles, steam tanks, buildings, impassable
terrain, etc., he is slain as well.
66
If the fanatic hits a unit (friend or foe), he goes right through it:
position the fanatic on the other side of the unit 1” away or as
far away as his movement takes him. In doing this, he delivers
1D6 S5 hits with no armour save allowed.
The same thing happens if a unit, for some reason, encounters
the fanatic. This could be because a unit chose to charge
through a fanatic to reach its target.
If a fanatic moves through a regiment in melee combat, it will
randomize hits among both sides if it moves through models in
base contact with the enemy. Otherwise, only the regiment the
fanatic moves through receives the damage.
After having released the fanatics, the movement phase
continues. The unit that triggered the fanatic's release, whether
it was the enemy or the regiment where the fanatic was hiding,
cannot move any further unless it was conducting a charge. In
this case, the unit may complete the charge but doesn't have to.
It is not possible to engage a fanatic, but it is legal for both sides
to charge through fanatics if they are standing in the way of a
charge. Fleeing troops that must flee directly away from the
enemy may have to move through a fanatic.
it is legal for Orcs & Goblins to target their own fanatics with
missile fire. The death of Fanatics does not cause panic in the
Orc & Goblins army.
Fanatics are released whenever the unit they hide in enters a
building, whether there are enemies within 8” or not. Release
the fanatics the moment you enter the building in a direction of
your choice.
Whenever a fanatic causes a panic test, take the test
immediately and resolve any flee move immediately before
resuming with ordinary movement.
Fanatics are immune to psychology, they never test for fear,
terror or panic.
• May be armed with one of the following weapons:
spears for +½ pt per model, or double handed
weapons for +2 pts per model, or short bows for +1 pt

• The regiment may include up to three hidden Night
Goblin Fanatics for +30 pts per model. One Fanatic in
the army may be given a Mad Cap Mushroom,
increasing his potential damage to 2D6 S5 hits for
+20 pts. Note that Fanatics do not count towards the
minimum 50 points cost required for all regiments.
• If not armed with short bows, the whole regiment may
be equipped with shields for +½ pt per model.
• May be joined by a Night Goblin Champion equipped
like the rest of the regiment for the price of 10 pts +
the cost of one trooper (may take 1 magic item).
Night Goblin Squig-Hoppers 25 pts
Night Goblins mounted on Cave Squigs.
This type of regiment cannot take a standard bearer, musician,
or regimental champion.
All Squig-Hoppers in the army deploy together within 2” of each
other. As soon as the battle begins, each Squig-Hopper acts as
an independent unit.
Squig-Hoppers are immune to psychology and do not take
Animosity Tests. Even though the unit consists of both a rider
and a squig, treat the Squig-Hopper as just one model, using
the characteristics of the Squig.
The Squig-Hopper bounces in the compulsory movement
phase. The controlling player declares in what direction the
Squig-Hopper will bounce and moves the model 2D6” in that
direction. If the roll for movement was a double, the Squig-
Hopper bounces in a random direction instead as determined
by the scatter die.
Whenever a Squig-Hopper bounces upon a unit (whether friend
or foe), the Squig hits automatically. The rider never fights in
melee combat, he is too busy holding onto the Squig.
A bouncing Squig-Hopper landing upon a unit immediately
bounces again. If the Squig-Hopper lands in a water feature, it
will drown. If a Squig-Hopper lands on a terrain feature where it
cannot stand (such as a sliding roof), it will bounce again. If a
Squig-Hopper bounces into a wood, it slams into a tree and
knocks itself out (count as slain).
When a Squig-Hopper is charged, it will bounce directly away
from the charge. If caught it is destroyed.
It is legal to charge through a Squig-Hopper to reach another
target. The Squig-Hopper will immediately bounce away from
the charge. If it doesn’t get clear of the charge, it is destroyed.
Squig-Hoppers bouncing off the table count as slain, but the
death of a Squig-Hopper never cause panic test in the Orcs &
Goblins army, so don’t worry about it.
Night Goblin Squig-Hunters 6 pts per Night Goblin and 12
pts per Cave Squig
Night Goblins armed with prodders (spears).
This type of regiment cannot take a standard bearer, musician,
or regimental champion.
A Night Goblin Squig-Hunter regiment is a mixed regiment
consisting of both Cave Squigs and Night Goblins armed with
prodders. To begin with there must be at least one Night Goblin
per three Cave Squigs in the regiment. The Cave Squigs will
67
attack any model that is not a Night Goblin with a prodder, so it
is unwise to let characters join this regiment.
The regiment moves at the Night Goblins' movement allowance
(4”) and uses the Night Goblins' LD (5). When shot at with
missiles, randomise proportionally to determine the distribution
of hits between Night Goblins and Cave Squigs.
The Night Goblins are armed with prodders which function as
spears. Thus, if a regiment consists of two ranks of Cave Squigs
followed by two ranks of Night Goblins, all ranks can fight,
unless it charges, in which case only the Cave Squigs can fight
(as per the rules for spears). Which kind of model can the enemy
hit in melee combat, Cave Squig or Night Goblin? The kind of
model they are in base contact with.
Each Night Goblin can control three Cave Squigs. If, at any time,
the number of Cave Squigs rises above what the Night Goblins
can control (or rather, the number of Night Goblins falls below
that of Squigs), then all excess Cave Squigs go wild.
A wild Cave Squig moves and fights in the same way as a Squig-
Hopper except it always moves in a random direction
determined by the scatter die. The moment the Cave Squigs go
wild, move all of them in a random direction at once (this may
take some time, so if you need to catch the tube to get home
tonight, don’t bring this regiment to your battle).
As long as the Cave Squigs are in rank-and-file formation they
are unbreakable and thus immune to psychology, but the Night
Goblins are not. If a regiment of Squig-Hunters fails a
panic/terror/break test or for other reasons is forced to flee, only
the Night Goblins flee, the Cave Squigs go wild.
Squigs gone wild bouncing off the table count as slain, but the
death of a lone bouncing Squig never cause panic test in the
Orcs & Goblins army, so don’t worry about it.
Night Goblin Netters and Clubbers 6 pts
Night Goblins with nets and clubs.
In the first round of each combat engagement the Netters &
Clubbers participate in, the regiment will throw nets at their
enemies, entangle them, and then beat them with their clubs.
Consider the netters and clubbers to be equipped with double
handed weapons that strike first in any round of melee combat.
Treat them as if they have the strike first rule two times! Usually,
the strike first rule will only nullify the strike last rule of double
handed weapons, but the nets are so effective that Netters &
Clubbers strike first regardless.

May take up to two War Boars for +5 pts per model. Each extra

Goblin Doom Divers 67½ pts
Has an endless supply of Common Goblins waiting in line eager
to fly (which count as three common goblin crewmen).
A Goblin Doom Diver shoots like a large stone thrower except it
uses a 2” template rather than the usual 3” template only the
model under the exact centre of the template suffers a S10 hit
causing 1D6 wounds, no armour save, while other models hit
only suffer an ordinary strength 5 hit.
If the template scatters, you may roll a 1D6 and steer that many
inches in the opposite direction of the arrow. If this distance is
more than you veered away, then the Doom Diver has over
compensated, and the template is moved over and beyond the
spot you aimed at.
When the Doom Diver misfires, it sends one Doom Diver
1D6*10” in a random direction (no scatter, no flapper). The
second time it misfires it falls apart (counts as slain).

Stone Thrower with three Common Orc/Goblin crewmen. May
take up to two additional crewmen (+2½ pts for Goblins, +5 pts
for Orcs).
Snotling Pump Wagons 40 pts
A Snotling Pump Wagon is a scythed light chariot (on a 40x40
or 40x60 mm base) crewed by a bunch of Snotlings (with the
same characteristics as a Snotling Base). The pump wagon is
unbreakable. When it is destroyed no one cares – Snotlings
never cause panic.
A Snotling Pump Wagon moves 3D6” in the first turn, but then
the Snotlings get tired, and the wagon only move 2D6” in
subsequent turns.
The wagon moves in the compulsory movement phase in a
direction nominated by the controlling player. If the roll was a
double (triple in the first turn), the pump wagon moves in a
random direction as determined by the scatter die.
When the pump wagon moves into base contact with a unit, it
counts as charging (and the charged unit is allowed a charge
response) If it charges into a friendly unit the wagon immediately
disengages (after having delivered impact hits).
Upon ramming into a unit (friend or foe), the pump wagon
delivers 2D6+2 strength 4 impact hits instead of the usual 1D6

 MAGIC BANNER Q&A

What happens if an Orc character has joined a regiment with

the Evil Sun Banner and it needs to re-roll a failed animosity
test? The question is relevant since this banner is for Night
Goblins only. The answer is that the regiment are allowed the
re-roll. Animosity is a kind of psychology rule, and characters
must follow the psychology reactions of their regiments. The
same logic applies to the Stalker Banner, any characters in a
regiment must follow the movement of the regiment. The other
Goblin Only Banners would not lend their benefit to Orcs having
joined the regiment.

GARGANTUAN SPIDER

 CHAOS DWARFS
Advert for the Chaos Dwarf army book. White Dwarf 180, from
Balder Asmussen’s private collection.
As the sun casts a molten gold hue across the ashen
landscapes of the Dark Lands, a formidable force emerges from
the towering ziggurats and smog-filled skies. The Chaos
Dwarfs, those corrupted kin of the noble Dwarfs, are on the
move, an ominous tide of darkness and greed.
At the vanguard, regiments of Chaos Dwarf Warriors march in
determined step, their high helmets reminiscent of ancient
Assyrian warriors. These helms, towering and ornate, bear the
weight of their dark legacy and mirror the twisted spires of their
homeland. The warriors' eyes, filled with avarice, are set on a
new prize: the bounties and men of the Empire.
Following closely are the Blunderbusses, their firearms ready to
spew forth death, and the Earthshaker Cannons, with the ability
to tear the world asunder. Amidst them gallop the Bull Centaurs,
their terrifying form a blend of dwarf and beast, roaring with the
anticipation of battle.
73
From the skies above, the Warlord on his Great Flaming Taurus,
a monstrous beast with wings set aflame, surveys the march.
The creature's fiery breath and the Warlord's dark armor stand
in stark contrast to the bleakness below, signaling the might and
terror of the Chaos Dwarf leadership.
The treacherous Hobgoblins, allies to the Chaos Dwarfs for
reasons of convenience more than loyalty, hunch behind. Their
sneering faces seem to contemplate treachery even as they
await orders. Watching over them, the Bull Centaur Taur'ruk,
mighty chieftains with rune-covered armors, shout promises of
gold and plunder to those who would capture the Empire's men
alive. "For the mines hunger for slaves," he bellows, "and the
forges thirst for the sweat of the vanquished."
It is well known among them that the Chaos Dwarfs have no
intent to annihilate their enemies entirely. Instead, they seek to
drag them in chains, subjugate them, and put them to work in
the hellish mines and forges of their accursed city. This fate,
many argue, is far crueler than death.
Centuries ago, trapped amidst the cataclysm that is Chaos, the
Chaos Dwarfs turned from their brethren, pledging allegiance to
Hashut, the dark deity of fire and greed. Their transformation,
both physical and moral, bound them to a path of tyranny and
relentless ambition. The high helms they now wear serve not
just as armor, but as symbols of their dark stature and the weight
of their treacherous history.
As the Chaos Dwarf procession nears the position of the Empire
army, dread settles over the land. The men of the Empire are
no strangers to threats. Yet, the looming battle with these
ancient adversaries, with their promise of chains and dark
servitude, sends a chill down their spine. For in the heart of
every soldier is the realization: this is not just a battle for land or
honor, but for their very souls.
ARMY WIDE RULES
The master race
The Chaos Dwarfs are a superior race, but there are not many
of them. Therefore, they bolster their ranks with various inferior
greenskin races. A Chaos Dwarf army may include characters
and regiments that are not Chaos Dwarfs themselves. However,
the army general must be a Chaos Dwarf character, and the
army must include at least one regiment of Chaos Dwarf
Warriors, Tower Guards, or Blunderbusses. If it did not, it would
not be a Chaos Dwarf army.
Contrary to normal Dwarfs, Chaos Dwarfs do not hate Orcs &
Goblins, they do not suffer from Elf Grudge, nor do Chaos
Dwarfs get any benefits towards dispelling enemy spells. Chaos
Dwarfs do not have access to Gromril Armour, but Chaos Dwarf
characters and elite troops may take Chaos Armour instead
(granting a 4+ armour save that becomes 3+ when combined
with a shield).
As a superior race, Chaos Dwarfs (and their cousins, the Bull
Centaurs) never take panic tests caused by greenskins of any
kind.
Greenskin slaves
Chaos Dwarf armies may include Common Goblins, Common
Orcs and Black Orcs enslaved by the Chaos Dwarfs.
Common Goblins and Common Orcs are subject to Animosity.
Black Orcs are immune to animosity.
Common Orcs ignore panic tests caused by Common Goblins.
Animosity tests
In the beginning of the turn, before the movement phase, each
Orc, Goblin and Hobgoblin regiment in the army not engaged in
melee combat or fleeing must take an animosity test. War
machines, chariots and all other units in the army do not test,
only regiments. Remember that regiments of Orcs and Goblins
within 12” of a Hobgoblin regiment don’t have to test either.
For an animosity test, roll a single die. On a roll of 1, roll again
(if you roll 2-6 initially, nothing occurs).
If you roll 1-5 on the subsequent roll, the unit members squabble
or remain stationary. During this player's turn, the unit is immune
to psychology and cannot move, shoot, or cast spells. However,
wizards can still attempt dispels and use Dispel Magic Scrolls.
On a roll of 6 for the second dice; the regiment must move 2D6”
towards the nearest enemy unit, following the quickest route
(abiding by standard movement rules). Stop the regiment if it
gets within 1” of the enemy. In the subsequent movement
phase, the regiment must declare a charge against the closest
enemy. If no enemy is within charge range, the regiment must
move as swiftly as possible towards the nearest foe.

Black Orcs ignore panic caused by Common Orcs and Common

Goblins.

Common Goblins fear Elves they do not outnumber at least two

to one.

Hobgoblins

In addition to Orcs & Goblins, the Chaos Dwarf army may

include Hobgoblins, a species quite similar to goblins, but
stronger and meaner. Hobgoblins are not put to work in the
mines of the Chaos Dwarfs, instead they function as slave
masters, helping the Chaos Dwarfs oppress the other greenskin
species.

Hobgoblins suffer from animosity in the same way as Common

Goblins and Common Orcs do. However, if Common Goblins
and Common Orcs find themselves within 12” of Hobgoblins at
the beginning of their turn, they don’t suffer animosity that turn.
They are simply too busy keeping an eye on the treacherous
Hobgoblins to squabble amongst themselves.

If Hobgoblins are destroyed, break, or flee past units of

Common Goblins, Common Orcs or Black Orcs, these units do
not take panic tests. In fact, the sight of Hobgoblins running
away or being killed evokes nothing but cheers of joy and
whoops of laughter from other greenskins. No characters except
Hobgoblin characters will ever join a Hobgoblin regiment as the
other races don’t trust them (and who can blame them?). For Chaos Dwarf by Mafu Street.
the same reason, Hobgoblin characters cannot join non-
Hobgoblin regiments.

which is 12” deep as wide as the Blunderbuss regiment itself.
Only models behind a hill or a tall wall, such as a building, are
not hit. In the case of monsters and chariots ridden by
characters, both the character and mount are potential hits.

Roll to hit using BS as normal. Roll one die to hit for each enemy
model within the firing zone. There is no short-range penalty.
The only to-hit penalties that apply are for soft and hard cover
(i.e. no bonus for skirmishing, either).

All models hit suffer a strength 3 hit. This is increased to strength

4 if there are two ranks in the shooting regiment, and strength 5
if there are three ranks or more. If the target is a regiment with

76
models with several wounds, the wounds are carried over to one
model at a time as usual.
It does not matter if independent characters not armed with
Blunderbusses has joined the regiment, they still count as being
armed with blunderbusses when calculating the strength of the
shot. It does not matter if the last rank is not complete either, as
long as the last rank consist of at least four models, it adds
strength to the shot, if it is less than four models, the rank does
not count.
If the closest target is a large target, the Blunderbuss unit may
concentrate all fire against that target. Roll once to hit for each
Blunderbuss model in the first three ranks of the shooting
regiment. Disregard the usual area effect when concentrating
fire, only the closest large model within the firing zone may be
hit. If it is ridden by a character, randomise the hits as normal.
If charged by a unit that is more than half its charge distance
away, the Blunderbuss regiment may stand and shoot. Each
model in the charging unit suffers a potential hit (there is no to
hit penalty for making a stand and shoot reaction with
Blunderbusses). Disregard the usual area effect when taking
stand and shoot reactions, only models within the charging unit
may be hit.
When a Blunderbuss regiment enters a building, their ‘fire zone’
is as wide as the face of the building they are firing from,
however, the firing zone cannot be larger than it would be
possible, had the regiment been in the open. The hits are

White Dwarf 162, from Balder Asmussen’s personal collection.
Chaos Dwarf Earth Shaker Cannon 165 pts
Crewed by three Chaos Dwarfs wearing heavy armour. May add
up to two extra crewmen for +10 pts per model.
An Earth Shaker Cannon works like a large stone thrower. In
addition, all units hit by the template (not necessarily wounded,
just hit) may not move or shoot or cast spells (but can use magic
cards and attempt dispels, use Dispel Magic Scrolls etc.). This
effect lasts into the next magic phase, the victims’ next
movement phase, and the victims’ next shooting phase.
Affected units may, however, take compulsory moves and flee
moves, and they can be moved by means of spellcasting. It may
be a good idea to place a marker to remember the effect.

Works exactly like a small stone thrower. Crewed by two Chaos
Dwarf Warriors wearing heavy armour. May add up to three
extra crewmen for +10 pts per model.

Note that you must field a Hobgoblin regiment to include one or

Bolt thrower. Crewed by two Hobgoblins. May add up to three
extra crewmen for +4 pts per model.
0-1 Chaos Dwarf Juggernaut 200 pts
The Juggernaut is an unbreakable large chariot. A small fortress
armed with guns moving around on the battlefield!
79
The Juggernaut is pushed by a Bull Centaur (i.e., it has a
movement rate of 8”). In melee combat only the crew may
attack, not the Bull Centaur. It is somewhat slow, so it cannot
pursue or overrun, and does not double its movement when
charging. Unlike other chariots, the Juggernaut does not halve
its movement rate when reduced to one wound.
The Juggernaut is crewed by 5 Chaos Dwarf Warriors equipped
with heavy armour and blunderbusses. These may fire in one of
four different directions each turn, even if the Juggernaut
moved. The firing zones are equal to that of the chariot’s base,
i.e., 50 mm wide to the front and rear, shooting with strength 4,
or 100 mm wide to the sides, shooting with strength 3. The crew
may swap their blunderbusses for crossbows for free.
The Juggernaut is armed with an alternative type of organ gun,
fired from the Juggernaut’s front (i.e., strength 7, 1D3 wounds,
no armour save, maximum guess range 36”). The juggernaut
can fire the cannon even if it has moved. Only two barrels can
be fired each round, but it never needs to pause to re-load. You
cannot pivot the Juggernaut when shooting, it can only fire
directly forwards. The first roll of misfire (except bounce rolls)
means the organ gun cannot shoot any more this turn nor the
next turn, but the Juggernaut can move. The second misfire
(except bounce rolls) means the organ gun AND the Juggernaut
explodes.
0-1 Chaos Dwarf Whirlwind 75 pts
The Whirlwind is a scythed light chariot pushed by a Bull
Centaur (i.e. it has WS4 and a movement rate of 8”). It cannot
pursue or overrun and does not double its movement when
charging. Unlike other chariots, the Whirlwind does not halve its
movement when reduced to one wound. Furthermore, it is
immune to psychology.
The Bull Centaur does not fight in melee combat but operates
the machine instead. Each combat round the Whirlwind deals
1D6 strength 4 hits automatically to the front (this is in addition
to any impact hits it makes when charging).
0-1 Chaos Dwarf Tenderizer 75 pts
The Tenderizer is a scythed light chariot pushed by a Bull
Centaur (i.e. it has WS4 and a movement rate of 8”). It cannot
pursue or overrun and does not double its movement when
charging. Unlike other chariots, the Tenderizer does not halve
its movement when reduced to one wound. Furthermore, it is
immune to psychology.
The Bull Centaur does not fight in melee combat but operates
the machine instead. Each combat round the Tenderizer makes
one automatic strength 7 hit, no armour save allowed, causing
1D6 wounds to the front (this is in addition to any impact hits it
makes when charging).
