KNIGHTS
fast Moving War Machines for Space Marine by Ian Plckstock
Knights are fast-moving powerful war machines, thirty to forty feet tall and controlled by a single warrior, that
fight on battlefields throughout the galaxy in the service of both Eldar and Imperial armies. Recruited from
feral worlds where lesser versions of these machines are used to herd mighty Megasaurs, Knights take to the
field of war alongside other members of their noble families. With their devastating visor-mounted psychic and
shock lances, the mere gaze of a Knight can bring death to its enemies.
Those who joined the Exodus came from all levels of Eldar
society but were united in their determination and powerful
will to survive. The Exodites were a group which had long
been aware of the dangers of indulgence and hedonism by
choice, they choose worlds where their life would be hard so
as to avoid the trap of sloth. To a great extent, this suppressed
the natural Eldar character of immense emotion and intellect,
and did indeed save them from the Fall. Among the Exodites,
the intensity of the Eldar nature is expressed as a powerful
loyalty to their individual clans and a strong determination to
achieve objectives.
The struggle for survival on these worlds was indeed grim. To
enable them to deal with the harsh conditions, the Exodites
converted the sleek war machines they had bought with them
into tall walkers which they piloted across their new planets,
tending the virgin worlds. The ruling warrior Elite gradually
developed a system of status and honour which
brought about the society now known as the Eldar Knighls.
Dwelling in tall keeps, the Knights strove to hasten the
planets' evolution and bring life and order out of the primeval
maelstrom.
After the Eldar Fall, the craftworlds sought out the colonists to
offer them a place on board. The Exodites coldly told their
craftworld brethren that they preffered to stay where life was
simple if harsh, and dangers were obvious. Though the
craftworlds and Exodite colonies trade with one another, the
Exodites still maintain that the easy lifestyle on the
craftworlds is dangerously close to that which brought the·
downfall of their race.

THE BIRTH OF THE ELD AR KNIGHTS

Long before the Dark Age of Technology, numerous barren
planets were visited by Eldar seed ships. These inhospitable
worlds were prepared for the long process of terraforming and
then seeded with the essential ingredients to sustain life. The
Eldar plan was to create new worlds to colonize in thousands
of years time. These worlds were known to the Eldar as
Lilaeihan or Maiden Worlds.
As their civilisation neared its collapse, a number of Eldar
groups denouccd the easy decadence offered by Chaos and 1n order to produce the food neccessary to trade with the

clans each led by a warrior elite. engineering.

The Megasaurs in turn provided protein rich food for the THE REDISCOVERY

their machine-bodies, protecting the megasaurs from predators Thousands of years later, the planets were brought back into

While the Eldar shared their duties equally throughout the
clan, the Human nobility enforced a feudal system on those
below them. A sub-class of Drovers looked after herds, as the
nobles would not soil their hands with such work. The
Drovers' walkers were not. by law, armed with weapons even
though they lived in constant danger from raiders and
predators. This ensured that the drovers had to rely on the
Knights of the nobility for protection and nullified any chance
for revolt. As well as nobles, each house could field large
numbers of men at arms, either mounted on horses or on foot.
These were equipped much like Planetary Defence Force and
Imperial Guard units elsewhere in the Imperium, though with
not nearly as much heavy weaponry.
On many of the worlds, groups of artificers and technicians
became the most important of the nobles' subjects. They
initially simply maintained the Knights for the nobles but soon
learnt to speak with one voice, threatening to withdraw their
services from any Lord who failed to take heed. They styled
themselves as a priesthood for the half forgotten mysteries of
technology and were called Sacristans. As their power grew,
they arbitrated between the different houses to ensure they did
not wipe one another out in bitter feud. The ever present
dangers of their worlds meant that the Knights couldn't
survive wars of attrition and genocide, and this necessitated the
use of chivalric values to settle disputes. Eventually the
Sacristans on many worlds ritualized these virtues of Honour,
Duty and Valour and passed on these traditions from
generation to generation. With the acceptance of these values
the nobles became known as The Chilvary.
In addition to the threat posed by hostile houses, the Chilvary
had to fight constant battles against swift Carnosaurs which
prey upon the herds. Hunting the Carnosaurs honed their
fighting skills to a deadly art, preparing them for the periods of
violent warp activity which created monstrous beasts. When
such a beast was sighted, all the Chilvary would go on quests
co seek out and destroy the creature before it tainted the land.

Eldar Knights
The Eldar Knight suits operate in a similar way to the
craftworlds' Aspect Armour, Each Eldar Knight suits contains
a spirit stone which acts as a buffer and stores all the pilots
feelings, his passionate excitement and desire to satiate the
dark side of their nature. When the pilot leaves the Knight suit
it is like waking from a bad dream, which quickly fades from
memory, leaving the Knight free to pursue other tasks in the
clan. As the Knight suit is passed on from Knight to Knight
the spirit stone stores all the experiences of previous wearers.
These experiences supply's the personality for the machine
which is shared with each and every pilot. When the lone
Eldar pilot links to the Spirit Stone, he becomes part of

lance consists of a crystal linked to the Knights spirit stone.
The spiritstone uses the crystal to focus all it's pent up psychic
anger into a single blast that can overwhelm targets brain and
turn them into gibbering imberciles. The psychic lance is also
particularly effective against daemons and warp enitiies,
destroying their control over the material universe, and
banishing them back to the warp.

Human Knights
Human Knight suits do not have a permanently impnnted
personality. Instead the Knight has a throne, which is
imprinted with aspects of his own personality. The throne is
plugged in to the armoured Knight suit and may be transferred
from one Knight suit to another, though this rare occurance
usually only undertaken if the old suit is damaged beyond
repair or a Knight passes his old suit to a younger relation.
Imprinting your personality is a lengthy, sometimes
dangerous, business. It has become a rite of passage for young
nobles - this is how they become an adult. When he is old
enough, a noble son who wishes to become a Squire
undertakes a vigil in the family's chapel or sacristy, remaining
seated in the throne throughout the long night. He is
surrounded by the ancient thrones and battle banners of his
forefathers which are kept in the sacristy, reminding him of the
long traditions of honour and chilvary he is expected to
maintain.

 SPACE MARIN£ RULES FOR KNIGIITS
FORMATION
Detachments of Knights must follow the formation rule, No
Krught in the detachment may be further than 6cm away from
another Knight. If for any reason the Knights become
separated by further than 6cm, then they must assume an
acceptable formation next time they move. The Knights may
stay out of formation so long as the detachment doesn't move.
ORDERS PHASE
Detachments of Knights are given orders in the Orders Phase
exactly like normal troops. Knights follow the normal tum
sequeru;.e for moving and firing as printed in the Space Marine
rulebook.
MOVEMENT
Knight, move in exactly the same way as vehicles i.e. Knights
with advance orders can be moved up to the their speed value
as noted on their profile. Knights with charge orders may
move up to double their speed value.
Terrain
Just like Titans, Knights are unable to move through some
types of terrrain, while some terrain will slow them down.
Because of the Knights smaller size, they are a lot more
flexible and can move with greater ease than Titans.
One noteable exception from Titans is the Knights ability to
move, through woods normally, many of the Maiden Worlds
are covered in forests and the pilots chlldhood within the
forests lend a sort of affifnity with trees to their Knights
'personality. The ability of the Knight pilots to move through
close terrain is one which Titan princeps would love to learn,
but their Titan personalities never seem to grasp it to the full.
36
The restrictions incurred by various terrain is indicated on the
terrain chart below. The modifiers to hit are the same as those
printed on the terrain chart in the Space Marine rulebook but
have been included here for convenience.

FIRING
Knights fire in exactly the same way as normal vehicles.
Knights with first fire orders may fire
in the first fire segment,
Knights with advance orders may fire in the fire in the advance
fire segment and Knights with charge orders may not fire at
all.
Knights follow all the roles for range and WS as printed in the
Space Marine rulebook and fire their weapons as if they were
vehicles.
CLOSE COMBAT
Just like vehicles, if Knights have Charge orders they move up
to double the distance printed on their speed value and may
enter close combat. To enter close combat the Knights must
move into base-to-base contact with an enemy unit. All
Knights have a special lance attack which is dealt with in a
special way. It the Knight detachment charges into close
combat then it recieve the benefit of using their lances (see
below). If the Knights allow themselves to be charged, then
the close combat is resolved in the usual way as if the Knights
were vehicles and using their Close Assault Factor.
Imperial Shock Lance
The shock lance is used by Human Knights to deliver high
voltage electromagnetic shocks to enemies they are close
assaulting. The engines of the Knight suit are fitted with huge
dynamos, as the Knight builds up speed, literally charging into
combat, the dynamos revolve, storing electric charge in
capacitors mounted in the Knights visor. When the Knight
enters close combat the charge in the capicitors is so great it
can do nothing but earth itself, usually via the enemy troops,
delivering a devastating electric shock which bum infantry to
the bone, and shorts out vehicle weapon systems.
When an Imperial Knight detachment equipped with lances
charges into close combat it doubles its CAF for the first round
of combat. But Knights may only assist each other in multiple
combat when fighting Super Heavy vehicles, Titans or
Gargants, as they risk discharging the lance on each other.
Krughis who are charged themselves recieve no benefit from
their lances, as their lances will not be'charged'.

Eldar Psychic Lance
The psychic lance is used by Eldar Knights to deliver a
massive psychic blow to enemies in close combat. As the
Knight charges into close combat, the spirit stone replays all
the previous close assaults that have occured in its thousands
of years in existance, flooding the entire machine and pilot
with psychic fury. These energies spit and froth from the
machine in arcs of lightning, making the sight of a charging
Eldar Knight awesome to behold. When the Knight enters
close combat the psychic energies are of such an intensity that
the spirit stone is screaming from the feedback. At this point
the pilot diverts the psychic energies into crystal mounted in
the Knights visor. This focuses the psychic energies into a
catacylsmic blast that burns the minds of infantry, jams
weapon systems and fuses electrical components.
When an Eldar Knight Detachment charges into close combat
with infantry stands or vehicles the following procedure
should be followed. Before the combat is resolved, roll a 06
for each unit that is in base-to-base combat with the Knight.
On a roll of 1,2 or 3 the combat is resolved as usual, on a roll of
4 or 5 the target CAF is reduced to zero for the rest of the close
combat. on a roll of 6 the target must make it's saving throw to
avoid being destroyed, if the target makes it's saving roll then
the combat is resolved as usual. Knights who are charged
themselves reeieve no benefit from their lances, as the Knights
have to build up the psychic fury needed to charge the lance.
When the Eldar Knight detachment charges into close combat
with a Titan or Gargant the following procedure should be
followed, roll a 06 for each Knight in base-to-base combat
with the Titan, on a roll of 1,2 or 3 the combat is resolved as
usual, on a roll of 4 or 5 the titans CAP is reduced by 06, on a
roll of a 6 the Titans CAF is halved for the rest of the close
combat.
The Eldar psychic lance is particularly potent against Greater
Daemons. If the Knight charges directly into close combat
with a Greater Daemon, then the Greater Daemon must make
an immediate saving throw to avoid being destroyed. The save
is modified by -1 for each Knight in the base to base contact
with the Daemon. The chaos player may add+1 to their saving
roll for each Chaos card they use. The Chaos player must
nominate how many cards they wish to use before rolling for
the save. If the saving throw is failed the Greater Daemon loses
it's control over the material universe and is banished back to
the warp.
FIRING AT KNIGHTS
When firing at both Eldar and Imperial Knights they are
treated just like vehicles, with one noteable exception. both
Eldar and Imperial Knights carry a shield defense.
Eldar Shields
Eldar Knights use a system of disruptive holo fields similar to
those employed by the Eldar Harlequins and Eldar Titans. The
holo fields act to diffract a Knight's image as it moves; the
faster it moves, the more widely spread the the Knight's image
and the harder it becomes to target. To represent this each
Knight recieves an additional saving throw based on it's orders
for that tum. This is taken before the Knight's normal saving
throw and isn't modified for any reason. Look up the Knight's
orders on the table below to find the save recieved by the
Knight for fire against it. Holo fields are useless against
barrage weapons, and the Knight recieves no extra save
against weapons or attacks which use a template. If the Knight
fails it's save for the holo fields it recieves it's normal saving
throw, if the Knight fails this roll. as well, it is destroyed and
removed from play as usual.
Orders Save
Charge 3+
Advance 4+
First Fire 5+
Fall Back 4+
Human Shields
The shields carried by the Imperial Knights are a derivative of
power field technology. Human Knights carry a small but
powerful directional generator. This works by creating a
powerfield across a 90° arc to the front of the Knight. To
represent this any hits fired at the front of the Knight recieve
no save modifier. The Knight's saving throw to the front
cannot be affected by weapon save modifiers. Shots which
strike the Knight from the side or rear are allowed to use their
save modifier as usual. Barrages are considered to hit the
Knight from the direction the weapon is flied (this represents
the Knight's shield deflecting the fire before it passes him).
Indirect barrages are considered to come from the centre of the
burst template. If the Knight fails it's saving throw it is
destroyed and removed from play as usual.
 IMPERIAL KNIGHTS
Since the Knights Inclusion In the Imperlum, Imperial Knights have earned themselves a fearsome reputation as bold
warriors who will risk all for the Emperor. Many an Imperial commander has called upon the services of the Noble houses
to break an unrelenting foe or to smash through enemy Does with their high speed and devastating Shock lances.

The Praetorian Knights is one of the most common types of
Knight suit used by the Imperial Knights. Built to roughly the

vicious close assault weapon. used to sweep infantry aside and
crack open armour. The other arm mounts a heavy amwnenl
of some sort. usually a battle cannon or an auto-cannon,
aldwugh some are equipped with multi-melta. The Praetorian
Knights are multi-role Knights tha1 can hold there own at long
range and still be devastating in close combat, As with most
Imperial Knights, the Praetorian Knights are fitted with the
devastating Shock Lance.

who like to personalise their armour. The Fire Gale carries the
deadly Maelstrom laser. a high powered lascannon that is
feared throughout the Maiden worlds and is well capable of
destroying most heavily armoured opponents. The Fire Gales

Jnfanlry units which may stray too close to the Knight. The
Fire Reaper carries a potent triple barreled lucannon for
dealing with massed armoured targets. The Fire Reapec carries
a vicious power fist to enhance it's ability in close combat. The
Fire Storm shows how versatile the Fire Knight is by

 STORM THE BREACH
UR.BAN CONFLICTS IN SPACE MAR.INE. BY GAVIN THOR.PE
Many battles are fought In heavily urbanised areas where cover and possession of buildings is vital to victory. This article
helps you to fight Space Marine battles in cities and other urban complexes.
One of the ultimate tests in combat is an urban conflict, with
reduced lines of sight, limited fire arcs and many areas that are
perfect for enemy ambushes adding to the overall feeling of
tension that underlies a battle. where foes could be metres
away and out of sight. The pressure put upon soldiers during
such battles is very heavy, the need for perfect co-ordination
and reflexes plays strongly upon the nerves of even the super·
human Space Marines. Death can stalk a fighter in many ways,
but a bolt or las-shot from some hidden foe is one of the most
ignoble deaths that anybody could face (or rather, not face).
Despite this, it is often essential that an anny attack a city, they
are sites of power generators, the nexus to continent-spanning
transport systems, and the seat of local authority, or perhaps
even the habitation of the planetary Governor. The suppression
of all these factors make assaults on urban complexes
paramount in any campaign that is relying on surprise and
speed for it's victories. If you can steal the heart and brain of
any army, all that is left is useless, and can be easily removed
at your convenience.
Buildings are one of the most important terrain features in
Space Marine games. They provide hard cover for infantry
stands and excellent fields of fire for support troops such as
Devastators. In most games at least one Objective marker will
be placed on a building, or in a space in the middle of a group
of buildings. The following rules are for players who like to
have lots of fortresses, power plants, temples and bunkers as
well as ordinary buildings. The type of game that uses these
rules is called a City Fight.
30
The Basics.
City Fight battles are a version of assault scenario. One player
is the attacker and will find that capturing buildings is the best
way for him to acquire VP's. The other player must defend his
city and will gain more VP's for breaking the enemy than by
occupation of his own property. Unlike other games of Space
Marine, City Fight does not use Objective markers, instead
every single building on the table is allotted a number of VP's
that vary according to the building's importance to the
attacker or defender.
Forces and Deployment.
Before the battle the players will have to decide who is
attacking and who is defending. This can be done by mutual
agreement, tossing a coin or some other method. It is best if
you decide this well in advance, as it will make a great
difference to your army selection. The attacking player picks
his force as normal. We recommend games between 5,000
and 8,000 points are best; too few points and the defender will
find it impossible to cover all of the major pieces of terrain,
too many and the attacker will be hard pressed to make any
headway. The defender chooses his forces slightly differently.
He may purchase the fortifications, published in the Space
Marine Battles book (also in WO 144), at the printed cost,
with the exception of Strongholds (see The City section
below). Normal army cards will cost him double, so a l 00
point card effectively costs 200 points. Once both armies arc
selected you are ready to fight.
The deployment zones for a City Fight are slightly different
than those for normal battles or other types of assaults. The
deployment for the defender is exactly the same as given in
the assault rules. He may set his forces up to halfway across
the table. He may set-up hidden, which means that a counter is
placed for each detachment, and the troops may not be
targeted until they are revealed. When an enemy model
approaches within 25cm of a hidden set-up counter place the
models on the table. One must be placed on the counter's
position, and the others will be set-up within the normal
coherency rules. Models may be placed in close assault and
will be dug-in when revealed, flip the counter to show the
dug-in face. Models that fire at a dug-in model receive a
further -1 LO hit modifier, this is in addition to all the usual
modifiers for cover. A model that is dug-in counts as having
First Fire orders and will lose the dug-in counter if it moves
for any reason. The hidden set-up and dug-in rules arc covered
more fully in Space Marine Battles. The attacker deploys
second and may not place his troops any further than 30cm
from his table edge, unless they have special deployment rules
(such as Eldar scouts). Once both players set-up it is the first
tum. with the Initiative automatically going to the attacker, as
cities are usually the primary target of a fast-moving assault
column and the defenders will only have a short time to
prepare.
Victory Points.
Instead of Objectives, City Fight armies gain VP's by
occupying buildings and destroying the enemy. The attacker
gets normal VP's for breaking enemy formations, but the
defender gains double the printed value for enemies broken.
There are a number of ways to obtain VP's from the buildings.
The VP's are awarded in the End phase as usual, and are
received under the following rules.
Secured: If a player has models occupying a building in the
End phase he will receive the VP's given in the building
description, unless one of the following conditions apply:
l> There is an enemy model within the same building,
2> The model is on Fall Back orders,
3> The model is subject to a condition thar will prevent it from
moving and/ or firing in the next turn. i.e. the victim of the
Eldar Warlock power Psychic Lock.
There is also a special option open to the attacking army. An
anacking army that has assured itself that a building does not
contain any more traps or secret entrances can delete the
building from it's worries and continue the attack To represent
this an attacking model that fulfils all the requirements for
Securing (see above) allows the attacking player to mark the
building as Secured. After you have calculated VP's for the
tum the attacker should place an appropriate counter on any
buildings that his forces have Secured. The attacker may then
move his troops from the building without losing the VP's.
When you calculate the attacker's VP's a building that is
marked by a Secured counter counts as if the attacker had
models inside it and he will receive the appropriate number of

Victory Points. A Secured counter does not effect the game in
any other way and the building may be reclaimed as normal by
the defender in future turns, and the counter should be
removed if the defender enters the building later on (or Guards
it, in certain cases).
Guard: Certain installations may be Guarded, with the
guardians attempting to prevent enemy troops from gaining
access. A model is said to Guard a building if it is 5cm or
closer to the building. If there is an enemy unit within 5cm,
then neither side may claim the VP's for Guarding. Other than
by firing or close assault in the usual manner, the unit
Guarding the building does not affect the ability of the enemy
to possess or attack it in any way.
A building only ever awards VP's from one source. A
building that is Secured and Guarded by the same player will
only allow him to gain VP's from the Securing, the Guarding
does not confer additional VP's. Similarly, a building that is
marked with a Secured counter and has an attacking stand
inside it does not count twice, the VP's arc awarded once only.
Securing takes precedence over Guarding, and Guarding takes
precedence over Secured counters (see examples). This is
easiest to remember if you calculate the player's VP's in the
following sequence; award for Securing and place/ remove
Secured markers. Award for Guarding and remove any
Secured markers, finally award the auackcr VP's for any
Secured markers still on the table. You should calculate VP's
at the very end of the turn, after rolls for Rallying or breaking
free of psychic anacks, etc. have been attempted.
Victory Levels are the same as those given in the table on the
Space Marine play sheet.

Since the building is no longer secured by the attacker the
Secured Marker is removed and neither side gains VPs for
this building.
31
 Power Station.
Occupation of power stations is vital in a City Fight, where a
defenders whole command structure can be broken if the
enemy deny him the power he needs for communications and
transport. Power stations are usually a group of buildings and
generators rather than a single edifice. Models making up a
power station should be clearly grouped as a single objective, a
wire fence around them can be a good way of indicating this.
One of the buildings should be designated as the control
centre, it is this building which must be Secured to gain VP's,
all the other structures count as standard buildings.

There should also be a model of the main generator or reactor.

THE CITY.
The following is a description of different types of buildings
and the rules for using them. You don't have lo play a City
Fight game lO use these rules, you can use the special rules in
an ordinary battle or an Assault scenario. The Victory Point
values are only for use in City Fight battles, use an objective
marker if you want lO give them a value in an ordinary game.
The reactor cannot be Secured (unless you like living in
conditions similar to the heart of a star) and is the structure you
measure from if you want lo gain VP's for Guarding. If a
reactor is destroyed there is a chance that the volatile
generators and conductors within its walls will explode. If this
is the case, roll a D6. On a roll of 5 or 6 it explodes, hitting
everything within a radius of 2D6cm from its centre, including
any other buildings. Models in the blast must make a save with
a -1 modifier or be destroyed. Titans will lose a shield or suffer
a hit as appropriate. ·
If a reactor is destroyed or the control centre Secured by the
attacker, then any defending troops in Strongholds,
Watchtowers and similar fortifications count as having no
orders for the rest of the tum. while commanders desperately
try to remedy the sudden loss of power. Any building weapons
cease to function until the start of the next tum, as power is
being re-directed from another source. Power stations can hold
between 5 and 10 infantry stands.

City walls.
If you want to fight a battle just outside the city limits then you
will want to include a model city wall (a modified Mighty
Fortress wall (i.e. lotsa pipes an' plates an' grills an' nails an'
red paint an' squigargagarglcoylcs an' stuff- cd.) makes an
impressive focal point for a battle). City walls should stretch
from one table edge to another, either from side to side or
turning in towards the defenders base line at some point Its
furthest section should be no further than 35cm from the
defenders base line. If a City wall is in play the defender can
set up anywhere on or behind it, rather than in the normal
deployment zone. The City wall should be divided into
sections between 15 and 25cm in length. For the purposes of
destruction each section counts as a seperatc building. City
walls can take three hits before collapsing, so you need
counters to mark them when they fail the first and second
saving throws, they follow all of the normal rules for
collapsing buildings if they fail to save against a third hit. City
walls fo1Jow the rules for fortifications and may be equipped
with powerfields, weapons and a Scanner tower as detailed
below.

33
A City wall should contain al least one gate large enough LO
admit a Titan sized model. The gate can be targeted separately
if the firer is within 50 cm of the wall section it is in, and it
counts as a vehicle with a saving throw of l+ which can take
two hits before it is destroyed. At the start of the rum, before
initiative is rolled, the player who Occupies the gale section
must declare whether the gate is opened or closed. Any model
may move through an open gate, no models may move through
a closed gate. The gale may be attacked in Close Assault and
has a CAF of +20 though it does not roll dice to add to this
score (so any enemy who can roll 21+ with their CAF will
cause one hit).
Models may be placed on the ramparts and gain the -2 to hit
modifier for being in a building. Models that are flying high
will only suffer a -1 to hit penalty when firing at troops on
walls, as a lot of the cover will be negated by the firers greater
elevation. There will only be a -1 to hit modifier if the firer is
located behind the wall, as most of the defences arc positioned
10 withstand attacks from the front, It takes an entire tum for a
model positioned al the top of the wall LO reach the bottom, and
vice versa. City walls are assumed to have lifts and other
devices to move tanks up Lo the ramparts, so almost any model
can be positioned at the top. Only Titans and super heavy tanks
are prohibited from being placed on top of a City wall. The
occupants of a City wall may only be close assaulted by
models on the inside unless the attacking model is a skimmer
(in which case it can fly up to the ramparts as usual). The
normal rules for attacking a building apply. Models on top of a
City wall do not get the extra saving throw given by
fortifications as the protection provided docs not completely

your opponent agrees). A Fortification may be equipped with a power field generator,
to defend it from incoming fire. Each generator will supply one
power field which will be permanently knocked down by the
first shot that hits it, Because powerfields have LO flick on and
off to allow weapons inside the field to fire, any hit on the field
will bypass it on a roll of 6 on a 06- the shield still remains but
the hit is worked out on the building. The number of generators
one building can contain is limited by its size. A building can
have one generator per size point. Larger fortifications made
up from several Strongholds and/ or watch towers combine the
number of powerfield generators. Each Powerfield will protect
up to 7 size points of building.
An occupier may destroy the powerfield generators at the
endof the tum (to prevent them from being used by an attacker
who is almost certain of gaining possession, for example) and
this is automatically done in the End phase. City wall sections
are very large and so do not combine generators, they only

fires salvoes of semi-guided rockets at attackers while they arc
still advancing into the outskirts of the area the fortification is
protecting.
Las-battery: The Las-battery is an array of large scale Las-
cannon, similar to those that make up the barrels of a Titan
Las-blaster. Their primary use is for destroying recon troops
and other light vehicles, though they can also shoot attacking
infantry in significant numbers.
Gatling bauery: The Gatling battery is a multitude of large

35

Dcathrcaver: The Dcathreaver is a large shuriken cannon that
fires mono-molecular edged discs, over a metre in diameter.
These slice through troops and armoured vehicles with equal
case, causing great rifts to appear in the enemy line.
Repulsor: The Rcpulsor uses the warp-field technology seen in
such devices as the Warp-wave generator mounted on Wave
Serpents, and is also a popular device for creating anti-gravitic
skimmers. The Rcpulsor is not a single weapon, but a series of
conductors that are positioned around the fortifications walls.
These generators send out a blast of energy that sends models
reeling from the buildings walls. Troops are scattered, while
vehicles can be left overturned and useless. The Repulsor does
have a central generator which can be targeted and destroyed
like other building weapons.
When the Repulsor is discharged you must determine how far
the wave emanates from the building, which will be 306cm.
The only way to avoid this is to use dexterity or brute strength
to avoid the rather erratic spread of energy. Any model caught
in the wave should roll a 06. If the model scores a 5 or 6 it is
unaffected and will remain in place. If it scores a 1, a
particularly powerful section of the field forces the model to
make a save with a -3 modifier, if it makes it's save it is moved
to the edge of the field as described below. Any other result
means that the model is pushed back to the edge of the field,
directly away from the building, and may do nothing for the
remainder of the turn. If a model cannot move the full distance
(i.e. it is pushed into a building) then it must make an
unmodified save or be destroyed. Other buildings within the
field are unaffected. The Repulsor takes a while to charge up
and so can only fire in the advance fire segment.
Eldar buildings may also mount weapons that are equivalent to
the Titan Wing Missile launchers and Lascannon, and follow
the details given in the Renegades book.
Orks
Attak-Kannon: The Auak-Kannon is simply another variety of
the Orks favourite weapons, the Battlecannon and the
Autocannon. It lobs huge shells at approaching troops and
makes a satisfyingly loud bang when the ammo detonates,
sending armour rippling through the air or shooting great clods
of dirt and shrapnel into the sky.
Belcha; The Belcha is obviously based on the fire throwing
armaments of the Imperiurn, such as is mounted on the
Hellhound tank. It is supposedly the breath of Gork, but is in
fact large amounts of burning embers and smoke flushed out
of a funnel-shaped barrel. It uses the template given for use
with the Hellhound and the Inferno G1.m and will hit covered
models on a 4+.
Bigblasta: Bigblasta's are the next step up from Battlecannon.
They fire huge shells which can smash apart infantry
formations or rip armoured vehicles to smithereens. The
Bigblasta is a barrage weapon, but cannot fire indirectly.
Skorcha's: These are simply a number of Scorcher turrets
taken off wrecked Gargants or souped up from the remains of
a Wartrak Scorcher. They ignore to hit modifiers for cover,
since the flames lap round any intervening terrain.
An Ork fortification can also mount a Deth Kannon or Cluster
Buster, which follow all of the rules in the Warlords
supplement.
Squats.
Mortar: Mortars arc huge weapons which fire high-explosive
shells for great distances. The Squats use them to barrage
distant troops, as the enemy attempts to deploy his baulc line.
A Mortar fires it's shells in a very high trajectory and so
cannot fire at troops who are closer then 50cm co the weapon.
The Mortar has a number of barrage points equal to a roll of
06+4 (giving it between 5 and 10).
Anti-storm boltcrs: The fortification mounts a number of
boilers that can hurl a lethal amount of ammunition into
nearby attackers. The bolters are all controlled from a central
pod, which can be targeted as any other building weapon.
Blaze Cannon: The Blaze Cannon is very similar to the
Human Inferno Gun and the Ork Belcher, except that it not
only fires superheated steam or flames, but also a hail of shells
which are intensely heated by the inferno surrounding them.
The cannon fires a plume of fire half a second before
secondary turrets spew forth a hail of fist-sized ammunition.
Troops not incinerated find themselves bombarded with
white-hot metal shards.
The Blaze Cannon fires using the flame template used by
Inferno Guns and Hellhounds. Any model half or more under
the template will be hit on a roll of 4+. Targets hit must take
any saving throws with no modifier. After working out the hits
from the flames, leave the template in place. Any models
under the template that have survived will hit by a hail of shot
on a 5+, requiring them to make a saving throw with a -2
modifier. Titans, and other vehicles with Void or Power fields,
will lose two shields, one from the flames and another from
the burning shells.
Squat fortifications may also mount a Las or Galling bauery as
detailed in the Imperial building weapons section of this
article
Chaos.
Chaos Hellwrecker: The Hellwrecker is a huge cannon that
fires large shells sec with a timer fuse. They soar into the air
and explode just above the heads of enemy troops. Such is the
blast that any cover afforded by the terrain only offers limited
protection. The Hellwrecker fires a barrage, with barrage
points equal to a roll of the artillery dice. If you roll a misfire
the Hellwrecker explodes and destroys itself, you must also
make a saving throw for the building the Hellwrecker is
mounted on with a -2 save modifier. The Hcllwrecker blasts
away intervening terrain and so it's to hit roll is not affected by
modifiers for cover.
Camageclaw: The Camageclaw is strange in that it is not a
ranged weapon as such. The weapon consists of a huge multi-
taloned claw mounted on a long arm, which lashes out at
troops who are close by. The Camageclaw can attack units
within 10cm of the building. At the start of every close assault
phase, before any other combats arc worked out, it may make a
number of attacks equal to a roll of an artillery dice. Each
attack is worked out as a normal close assault, with the
Camagcclaw being treated as having a CAF of +4. Second and
subsequent targets do not count as being secondary attackers.
The Camageclaw can only be destroyed by close assault
opponents if their score is twice or more than the Claw's. Even
if it is beaten it may still use any attacks it has left. The
Carnageclaw does not claim benefits for being a secondary
attacker, and does not allow other attackers to claim this
bonus. If the artillery dice roll is a misfire then the trapped
spirits within the machine have gone berserk. The Claw will
auack 06 friendly troops instead, chosen by the opposing
player.
Chaos fortifications may also mount the following Lord of
Batlle and Titan weapons; The Death Storm, a Rocket
Launcher and Mella-Cannon. These follow of the rules given
in the Space Marine rulebook and the Renegades supplement.
Since the writing of the main rules there have been many new
models and troop types released. In view of this fact I'd like to
take you through a few points that have caused some dispute or
confusion over the intervening years.
Buildings and occupation.
The rules say that only infantry can enter buildings. Fine, but
what really counts as infantry? There are two methods of
resolving the problem, and I leave the choice to you as to
which you prefer. The first is two lists of 'Can enter' and
'Can't enter', as follows.
Can enter: Any stand that consists of five infantry models, as
well as commanders, Robots, Chaos Champions, etc. Mole
Mortars can be set-up in basements. Weapons such as Shokk
Attack Guns are obviously infantry. Daemons. Greater
Daemons and Avatars are big enough 10 cope with any internal
obstructions. Rapiers, Hop-splats and other field artillery can
start the game placed in buildings, but may not enter or leave
them during the normal course of events (This represents the
army preparing a position by knocking down walls, etc).
Can't enter: Boarboyz, bikes, jctbikes, speeders. Rough
Riders, Disc riders, Juggers of Khome. Trikes and similar light
vehicles are not permitted to try and crawl their way up those
echoing stairways. There is too little room to allow these
models to manoeuvre properly. It states in the rules that
Dreadnoughts follow vehicle movement restrictions, and this
applies to Eldar War Walkers as well.
Method number two is a bit more deep, but can prove more
realistic. Any of the troops mentioned in the 'Can't enter' list
above may enter buildings but incur a penalty if they do so.
While in the building these troops cannot achieve the speed
and agility that allows them to fight well in close assaults. If
any of the models enter a building they receive a -3 modifier
on their CAF. This system allows you to indulge your
imagination a little. Picture that Jetbike screaming round spiral
stairways, the flitting shadows as it purrs down boulevards of
statues, the horrendous screech and bang as the rider
encounters a closed door ... (you've got the idea by now, I
expect).
Of course, there is also a really complicated method which 1
will risk mentioning briefly, and this involves dismounting
(aaaarghl). Ycs, you can replace disc riders with a cultist stand,
or bikes with the appropriate tactical stand, and other such
tom-foolery. (actually, it does work OK. but can bog things
down if the troops arc constantly mounting and dismounting.
as would be found in a City Fight game or you keep mixing up
those who are dismounted and those who have been killed).
A model which cannot enter a building is unable to close
assault troops inside one. (stands to reason, dunnit?).
Hidden set-up.
During playtesting a rather strange occurrence took place,
which has led me to twiddle the hidden set-up rules a tad. It
was the first tum, my Speed Kultists went screaming across the
table towards a seemingly harmless, insignificant Hidden Set-
up counter by a bridge. After the smoke had drifted away my
Warlord was horrified to sec a Leviathan standing proudly
amidst the tom wreckage- 'Where did dat fing cum from?" he
cried .....
Hi, as the opponent It should have been pretty obvious that the
set up counter was the Leviathan, what else has the ability LO
stand boldly in the middle of First Avenue and shout 'Shoot
me!'.
Thanks, Ian. But with all that aside, it is rather unlikely that a
building-sized vehicle can duck down behind a hedge.
Accordingly J suggest that the following vehicles should be
placed on the table al the start of the game; Titan, Gargani,
Leviathan, Colossus. Cylops and Capitol lmpcrialis models.
Other super-heavy vehicles can be hidden as normal.
37

Terrain Layout,
Terrain is one of the most important factors in a City Fight.
Auaining the correct balance of cover is not too difficult, and
here are a few guidelines to help you.
It is very unlikely that you could. place too much cover. The
best layout has very dense 'blocks' of buildings, which it is
impossible to draw a LOS through, while leaving some longer
LOS in the form of avenues. parks, etc. Long roads should not
be too straight, and important objectives, such as a power
plant, are best placed halfway across the board, though as far
Lo the neutral sides as you like. There should be five or more
Factories, placed as you would normal objectives. The amount
of important installations that are deep within the defenders
deployment zone can seriously unbalance a battle. The idea is
to generate terrain that allows the attacker to gain VP's, but
only after considerable effort. U you find that the auackcr is
blowing away your front line of defence, but is failing to
Secure more than three or four standard buildings, the major
terrain pieces arc Loo far back.
A good idea is to build some 'city blocks'. Since troop stands
actually represent a group of foot troopers, it is sometimes
annoying that they don't perform with the flexibility you
would expect (i.e. hiding in narrow alleys, etc.). The city block
can be used to overcome this. Simply mount a group of
buildings on a single grey board. You can allow enough room
to actually place troop stands, but the intention is that the
whole section counts as a building for the purposes of
movement. In other words, most vehicles cannot be moved
onto the base board. as the whole model represents twisting
alleys and other inaccessible locations (and don't make the
base board twice as large as the area actually covered by
buildings. that's just cheaiingl). It is best if you have a 2-3cm
'lip' around the edge of the buildings making up the city block.
Note that mounting anything other than standard buildings in
such a way seriously alters the effort required to attack or
defend important buildings. But don't let this stop you from
fighting battles this way, it just makes the game even more
infantry orientated, as a city fight should be.
Hints and Tips for attackers:
Always remember tllat the most valuable source of VP's are
the buildings themselves. You will probably find it very hard
to kill enough troops to break more than a handful of
detachments (at best).
The enemy will be hidden to start with. so be prepared to alter
your battle line slightly if you encounter something you cannot
cope with (my Leviathan escapade should not occur in your
games, but it is a good example of what I mean).
Don't completely shun vehicles, tanks like Vindicators arc
useful for winkling stubborn infantry out of their hidey-holes.
If you can get a detachment of barrage firing weapons it is
possible Lo give your enemy some nasty scares. Pound his
Temple or Power Station consistently, while your other troops
move in for the kill. The Guard option on some buildings
allows you to snatch some VP's with light vehicles, while you
wait for slower moving infantry to Secure them.
Remember to advance though the buildings, if possible. Each
one you Secure adds vital VP's to your total, so grab as many
as early as possible (this is espccialy important to Khomate
players, who gain certain bonuses for some of the models
when they are in the lead).
It is preferable to advance slowly and methodically, snapping
up 'easy' targets and amassing your troops for assaults on
Temples, Strongholds and other primary locations. It is much
better to try and close combat troops inside buildings than to
wait for ages taking pot shots, a troupe of Harlequins or
similar close combat specialists can storm buildings with
remarkable efficiency.
Hints and Tips for defenders.
Assign prorities to the various locations. making Temples and
other high value structures a primary building. Your best
troops should be positioned within these places, with a small
contingent of tanks on First Fire orders.
Don't think that tanks can only be used offensively. If you can
buy a detachment of vehicles with long ranged weapons, you
can start taking out opposing transports and similar troops.
Their armour also makes them handy for holding up lightning
raids by bikes and similar vehicles.
The same applies to barrage weapons, most buildings arc quite
good at withstanding hits, and it is a good way of taking out
large numbers of enemy troops, while still preserving cover
for any counter-offensive you may launch.
Rcmerneber that you also get VP's for buildings, so don't be
afraid to launch the odd counter-auack to reclaim some of
your land. Also be aware that dug-in troops automatically
count as having First Fire orders, meaning you should be able
to pound the attackers as they move up, since it is essential
they keep moving, and will have to Advance or Charge most
of the Lime.
That's it! Enjoy rampaging through thrc streets and painting
the town red, racing down Detonation Boulevard and other
such recklessness. Erm, running out of room. so I'1I say good-
bye now ..... Good Bye!

 The Power Within
By Gavin Thorpe
This article introduces some new troop types for Space Marine players.
Included are Imperial Adeptus Primary Psykers, Space Wolf Rune Priests and
Chaos Magi.
The new troop types in this article are all psykers, and follow
the roles given in the expanded psychic system, presented in
issue 3 of the Citadel Journal. If you have any ideas for other
types of troops, either using the expanded system or the
ordinary rules, don't hesitate to send them in to us at the
normal address.
--------- SPACE WOLF RUNE PRIESTS---------
While most Space Marine Chapters have psykers known as
Librarians, the Space Wolf Chapter is more unorthodox. It's
psykers are named Rune Priests and their abilities and outlook
are much different to those of other Chapters. The Space
Wolves are renowned for their ferocity and skill in close
fighting, and the Rune Priests are no exception. They are
found in the thick of the fighting, slaying many foes with their
weapons. as well as with their minds.
As with other Librarians, it is the Rune Priests who are the
keepers of the Chapter history. However, the Space Wolves
have few written records and the tales of their battles is
sustained by the spoken Sagas. Before embarking on a Great
Hunt, the Rune Priests tell the Sagas of such men as Ranalf,
Durfast, Berek Thunderfist and Jaeger Silverclaw, not to
mention the tales that are centred on their great Primarch,
Leman Russ. These tales inspire the Marines to the greatest
heights of courage and heroism, and it is for this reason that
the stories are painstakingly handed down from Rune Priest to
Rune Priest.
A Rune Priest may only be included as a Special Card for
Space Wolf companies. Space Wolves cannot choose an
ordinary Librarian. A Rune Priest stand is a command unit and
follows all of the rules given in the Space Marine rulebook.
A Rune Priest has a Rune Staff, which allows him to store
unused force cards, to be used later in close combat. A Rune
Priest may use the following psyhic powers each tum:
Courage of Russ: The Rune Priest instils vivid images of
Leman Russ in the minds of nearby Space Wolves, goading
them into acts of extreme valour. The power works on a roll of
5+ and has the following effects on all Space Wolf models
within 15cm. Affected models are immune to all Morale
checks, they will automatically pass with no need to roll. The

Rune Priest 10cm None +5 Bolt Pistols
Space Wolves may re-roll their dice for close assaults, the
second roll is final. The Courage of Russ lasts until the start of
the next orders phase.
Wolf Howl: The Rune Priest utters a loud and haunting howl
which strikes terror into the hearts of his enemies. As the howl
intensifies the enemy are overcome with pictures of wolves
tearing at their flesh. and past scenes of Space Wolf triumphs.
This power works on a roll of 6+. All enemy models within
15cm must make an immediate Morale check. Roll separately
for each model, with those failing being removed as crew
abandon vehicles and others running to hide. Affected units
count as destroyed and VP's should be awarded as usual. A
detachment which is broken by Wolf Howl will have a -1
modifier to the resulting Morale check. Models which do not
usually check morale, such as command units, are unaffected
by Wolf Howl.
Fangs of Fenrls: Shadowy shapes appear around the Rune
Priest, and can be vaguely discerned as the great wolves of
Fenris, the Space Wolf home planet. These huge beasts charge
the enemy and rip them to pieces. Fangs of Fenris works on a
roll of 5+. The Rune Priest selects a target within 25cm, this
model is attacked by the shadow-wolves. Fight a close combat
immediately, the wolves have a CAF of +5. If the wolves
destroy their target then the Rune Priest selects another within
5cm of the last target. Fight another close combat against the
new target Second and subsequent targets gain the additional
06 for being secondary attackers. This will continue until a
close combat is drawn or lost by the shadow-wolves, who will
then dissipate into the realm from which they were
summoned. The Wolves are not substantial beings and cannot
be shot at by troops on first f呸e orders.

 ADEPfUS PSYKER
Adeptus psykers are remarkable individuals. They have passed
all the tests posed by the Inquisition and have an innate ability
to protect themselves from the predatory denizens of the Warp.
Unlike Astropaths, Adeptus psykers are strong enough to resist
Chaos without undergoing the blinding ritual of the Soul-
Binding. They are usually attached to the Imperial Guard and
are often seen stalking the battlefield, sealing the fate of foes or
using mystical energy to blast their enemies.
Adeptus psykers are not quite as powerful as the Librarians of
the Space Marines or the Warlocks of the Eldar, but there are
many more of these in Imperial service and so it is a rare
Imperial Guard campaign that cannot draw on the services of a
few of these eccentric Imperial servants.
An Adeptus psyker stand can be represented by a collection of
spare infantry models. Adeptuspsykers often have a small
bodyguard of Beastmen and Ogryns. A typical stand could
consist of a Commissar (the psyker himself), an Ogryn, a
Beastman or standard bearer and two troopers. The presence of
an Adeptus psyker bolsters the confidence of nearby troops,
while his telepathic abilities allow him to communicate orders
to the soldiers around him. An Adeptus psyker stand is a
command unit and follows the rules given for Commissars in
the Armies of the Imperium supplement. An Adeprus Psyker
may use the following powers each tum.

nearby units with courage beyond normal expectations. This
power works on a 4+ and has the following effects. Each
Imperial unit with.in 15cm of the psyker (including the psyker
stand) is immune to Morale checks and may add + l to its CAF.
The power lasts until the start of the next orders phase.
Telepathic Link: The psyker reaches out with his mind and
directs the fire of his comrades by means of his telepathy. This
power works on a 3+. Until the start of the next orders phase
the psyker may spot for friendly barrage attacks with unerring
accuracy. Any indirect barrages that use the psyker as a spotter
need not roll for scatter, treat the firing model as if it had direct
WS to the target. All the normal rules for spotting apply to the
psyker.
Righteous Fire: The psyker calls forth the power of the
Emperor to hurl gouts of cleansing fire at the opposing army.
This power works on a 5+. The psyker may make an
immediate ranged attack that has a 50cm range and I attack
dice. It will hit on a 4+ and the target most make its saving
throw with a -2 modifier. This counts as a psychic attack and
therefore prevents Greater Daemons from saving themselves
with Chaos cards. Please note that the attack is a physical
missile and follows all of the normal rules for WS and cover .

 Nurgle Magi
Nurgle is the lord of pestilence and decay, and his followers
are often but a hair's breadth from being walking corpses. The
Magi of this foul god are often corpulent, maggot-ridden
examples of utter deterioration. They shamble into battle, or
are borne upon palanquins carried on the shoulders of
stumbling zombies or upon a tide of constantly moving
Nurglings.
The powers bestowed to them by the Lord of Decay reflect the
utter dedication Nurgle and his followers have for their cause.
Withering gazes tum men into piles of rotten flesh and bone,
buildings crumble and fall into ruin at the chanting of a verse.
A Chaos Magi of Nurgle is constantly surrounded by a swarm
of Ilics, which buzz into vision slits and jam weapon
mechanisms. Any enemy in close combat with the Magi suffer
a -1 penalty to their CAF.
Nurgle's Stench: A foul odour begins to exude from the Magi,
causing nearby troops to wretch and vomit, collapsing to the
ground as the unholy fumes corrode their innards. This power
works on a 4+. Any model that is not a follower of Nurgle
Slaanesh Magi
The decadent followers of Slaanesh have given themselves
over entirely to the needs of the flesh. No sensation, no matter
how perverted or strange, is unbearable to them. The Magi of
Slaanesh revel in disgusting orgies of ecstasy and degradation.
They welcome the feel of pain, turning mind-numbing horror
into a sensory thrill that they can barely stand. Slaanesh
followers do not only revel in the sensations they feel
themselves, they also gain great pleasure from inflicting pain
and suffering on others. The sight of their enemies writhing in
ecstatic agony sends a mind blowing buzz coursing through
their drug befuddled minds.
Slaanesh Magi arc surrounded by a mystic aura and douse
themselves in many exotic scents and perfumes which
seriously hinder the judgement of nearby creatures. Any non-
Slaaneshi model (friend or foe) which starts the turn within
15cm of the Magi must roll a d6, on a roll of 1 they may not
move or shoot that turn and have their CAF reduced by -2. test
before placing orders.
Promise of Slaanesb: A whispering voice of alluring beauty
gently enters the minds of nearby non-worshippers. With
haunting promises of pleasures beyond belief, the melodic
chant persuades the affected soldiers to lay down their arms
and join Slaanesh in wonderful fulfilment. This power works
on a roll of 4+ and affects an area covered by a barrage
template, placed within 50cm and LOS of the Magi. Each

(friend or foe) within 15cm must make a saving throw with a
+ 1 modifier or be destroyed. This means that models which do
not usually gain a saving throw will succeed on a roll of 6.
Corrupting Glare: The Magi sweeps his gaze across the
battlefield, turning all he looks upon to crumbling dust or
rotten flesh. Buildings are eroded in seconds, while the telling
tale of decades works upon the flesh of those who meet his
malevolant stare. This power works on a 5+ and if successful
allows the Magi to attack D3 targets within 50cm and in LOS,
including buildings. Any model looked at in this way will be
hit on a roll of 4+ and must save with a -2 modifier or be
destroyed.
Corpulent Flesh: The body of the Magi begins to swell to
impossible proportions, his guts spewing through tears in his
skin. As he fattens his skin takes on a leathery feel and soon
becomes rock hard. This power gives the Magi an unmodified
saving throw of 4+. So tough is his skin that he may also make
a saving throw to prevent himself being killed in close combat.
This lasts until nullified.
stand affected must make a morale check or be destroyed. A
roll of 1 will always fail even if the model has a morale value
of 1. Models which are unaffected by morale will not be
affected in any way.
Temptation of Daemons: The Magi summons a horde of
lesser Warp entities, known as Succubi, who are enslaved to
Slaanesh. Directed by the Magi to subvert the craven warriors
of the enemy, they swirl across the battlefield and try to
possess the bodies of the foes of Slaanesh. This power works
on a 5+. Place a Barrage template within 50cm of the Magi,
within LOS. Every model under the template must win a close
assault or be possessed and destroyed. The Succubi do not
have a normal CAF, instead they roll 306 to determine their
close combat score.
Lewd Enchantments: The Magi starts to chant in a hissing,
sibilant tone. To others on the battlefield the Magi takes on the
form of their heart's desire, a beautiful female in most cases
(though Orks normally see a large cannon!). When ordered by
their commanders to attack such exquisite beauty they blanche
and disobey the order. This power works on a 4+. Whenever a
model wishes to shoot at the Magi they must make a morale
check. If they fail they may charge or shoot at another eligible
target. A roll of one will fail, even if the model has a morale
value of 1+. Models which are immune to morale checks are
unaffected by this power. This power lasts until nullified.

Chaos festers everywhere within the galaxy. From the depths
of Hives, where Scavvies pray in ignorance to Nurgle, to the
lofty spires of Terra, within whose ivory walls decadent nobles
secretly succumb to the promises of Slaanesh. It is the task of
the Inquisition to root out these subversives and destroy them.
No matter how tireless the efforts of the Ordo Malleus there
are always new fools willing to risk their souls on the chance
of achieving their dreams. As a threat to the stability of the
lmperium, these petty worshippers are of little consequence,
more sinister are the well organised and highly militant Chaos
cults. These societies are often very powerful, thrusting their
tendrils into every aspect of society, from politics to religion,
education to military forces. At the heart of every cult there is
a controlling cabal of dedicated suppliants; the Coven. These
powerful individuals wield their followers like immortal gods,
directing them, betraying them and slaughtering them, all to
achieve the purposes set in°their minds by their twisted deity.
The leader of the Coven and supreme head of the cult is
somebody who has intimate knowledge of the cult's patron.

Tzeentch Magi
The Magi of Tzeentch are the most adept Chaos followers,
being granted incredible power by the master of sorcery. They
are very capable of twisting fate, so that everything from the
elements to your weapons seem to be conspiring against you.
Not only are they highly skilled in the subtle manipulation of
the mind, they can also wreak havoc with bolts of pure Warp
energy, mutating their victims into hideous creatures that are
barely recognisable. These spawn live briefly and with frantic
energy, bounding and capering across the battlefield before
they finally expire.
Terror Wave: The Magi gathers together all the negative
emotions of his enemies. For a brief while they are strangely
heartened. When he has gathered enough power the Magi hurls
the feelings at the opposing army, a solid wall of terror, pain
and hatred surges through the enemy ranks.
This power works on a 5+. Place the Terror Wave template
touching the Magi at the centre, so that the arrow in the middle
is facing in the direction you want the Wave to pass. Roll
D6x 10, this is the distance in centimetres that the Wave moves,
in the direction of the arrow.
Any enemy model the template passes over must make an
immediate morale check. A roll of one will always fail in this
case, even if the model has a morale value of l+. This will not
affect models which are not subject to morale. Roll a 06 for
any model that fails its test, on a roll of 1-2 the model is
destroyed, the troopers scattering and hiding, or crew
abandoning their vehicle. On any other result the model is
simply immobilised until the start of the next tum and they will
have a -2 modifier to its CAF while they are terrified and may
not move or fire. If the Wave moves into contact with a
shielded Titan the Chaos player must roll immediately to see if
the power is nullified by the shields. If the Titan is affected roll
a hit on the Head damage chart.
The Terror Wave continues to move 2D6x5cm in the direction
of the arrow at the start of any subsequent psychic phase, after
They are usually led by a Chaos Champion, who has already
served the god over untold years, but occasionally the society
is headed by a Magi. Chaos Magi are potent sorcerers, granted
strange powers by their deity. Sometimes twisted and
malformed by the corrupting influence of their masters, they
use their psychic abilities to bring political destruction on their
enemies, and physical destruction when the time has come to
throw off the veil of normality and seize the planet in the name
of Chaos.
Chaos Magi are available to any Chaos force. You are allowed
one of the special Chaos Magi cards for your army. This does
not take up a minion card allotment, but must be of the same
Chaos power as one of your Daemons (i.e. you couldn't have a
Chaos Magi of Tzeentch if you didn't have Magnus the Red or
a Lord of Change). They do not have a patron daemon but may
be the recipient of Chaos cards as normal.
Chaos Magi are command units and never need to be given
orders or test for morale. The Magi gains the psychic powers
appropriate to his god, as listed below.

attempts to nullify it have been made that tum. If the roll is a

possible to have more than one Terror Wave in play at any one
time as there is only so much emotion in a battle.
Mind Warp: The Magi uses this power to project images into
the minds of nearby enemies. The images are scenes directly
from the Warp. Past personal tragedies, future disasters and
mind-tearing pictures of the Immaterial universe that the
Chaos gods dwell in.
This power works on a 5+ and affects all enemy units within
25cm. Affected units must score a 5 or 6 on a D6 or be placed
on Fall Back orders. Models which roll a one on the dice are
automatically destroyed with no saving throw. Psykers within
range may re-roll the dice, the second result will count, even if
it is worse. Titans will suffer damage to the Head location if
their shields do not nullify the attack and they fail to roll a 5 or
6.
Inferno or Change: The Magi thrusts his arms forward. gouts
of pink and blue flames streaming from his fingertips. As the
mystic fires envelop the enemy they begin to corrupt and twist
everything they touch. forming hideous new forms with the
intensity of the raw power contained within the burning magic.
This power will work on a roll of 4+. Using the flame template
that is used for the Inferno Gun and Hellhound, position the
template so that it is touching the Magi stand and covers the
intended targets. Any model under the template will be hit on a
4+, irrespective of cover. Models that are hit begin to warp and
change, they must make a saving throw with a +l modifier or
be destroyed, this means that troops who do not usually have a
saving throw will succeed on a roll of a 6. Unlike other attacks,
there is no automatic save, if any model, regardless of its
saving throw, rolls a 1, it is destroyed as the fabric of its being
is twisted to destruction, its molecular structure stretched
between realities.

 SNAKEBITE CYBER-WYVERN
By Paul 'humle- smasha' Sawyer
' Due to their suspicion of 'new-fangled' technology the Snakebite clan has a larger propor-
.--_.,..• tion of Painboys and Runtherds than Mekboys. This is most evident as the Snakebites
. charge into battle mounted on vicious Warboars and massive Squiggoths - creatures exclu-
,, sive to the Snakebites. These creatures aren't the only result of Painboy/Runtherd co-oper-
ation, however. These traditionally-minded Orks have taken a typically Orky mount- the
• , Wyvern, and replaced parts of it with bionik bitz, the result being the Cyber-Wyvern.

呸illlllP. Favoured Oddboys are often rewarded

by their Warboss by being allowed to
form Cyber-Wyvem squadrons. These
squadrons are formed into two distinct types: Painboy and
Runtherd squadrons. Joining a Cyber-Wyvem squadron is a
great honour for many Orks who proudly don their ancestral
armour and ceremonial sword. A squadron of Cyber- Wyvems
is a majestic sight - enough to bring a Jump to any Snakebite's
throat as these mighty creatures pump their powerful leathery
wings to gain height and speed before soaring in to attack their
hapless victims.
Cyber-Wyvems are classed as Skimmers and so can fly over
impassable terrain and difficult ground without the usual
movement penalty as long as they do not end their movement
in impassable terrain. Cyber-Wyvems can also make pop-up
attacks.
The Cyber-Wyvern has an armour-plated underbelly which
gives it a saving throw of 4+ from ground-based attacks. There
is no saving throw against attacks from other skimmers (Squat
Overlord Airships, Space Marine Thunderhawk Gunships,
etc.) as the fleshy part of the Cyber-Wyvero is exposed to
attack.
As Cyber-Wyvems are piloted by Oddboys they are exempt
from the normal Ork command rule and therefore do not have
to stay within !Ocm of a command unit.

CREATING A SNAKIBITE CYBER-WYVERN

Creating the models for Snakebite Cyber-Wyverns is really
very simple. To start you will need 3 Man O' War Ore
Wyverns (for each squadron), 6 plastic Ork 'Eavy weapons
plastic sprue (for each Painboy Cyber-Wyvern squadron), 6
battlewagon turrets from the Ork Horde plastic sprues (for
each Runtherd Cyber-Wyvem squadron). You can get all of
these components from Games Workshop's Mail Order staff.
In addition you will need a pair of clippers, a bottle of Super-
glue, a tube of polystyrene cement, a sharp craft knife, a set of
needle files and a small piece of thin plasticard.

base of the head. Once you have removed all the handles
you will need to remove part of the stik.kbomb head, this is
to allow them to sit squarely on to the plasticard (see
diagram). You can do this by simply filing one side of the
head flat.
Now, cut two pieces of plasticard 4mm by 6mm for each
model. Line up two Stikkbomb heads over the plasticard
and glue them in position with polystyrene cement. Once
the glue is dry you are ready to attach the Squig-bombz to
the Wyvem - simply superglue the plasticard under the
wings and up against the body.

EPIC SPECIAL CHARACTERS

By David Corby, Michael Taylor and Gavin Thorpe
These additional Special characters are written by me (Gav) while the Blood Axe
Kommandos and Warpbeadz rules were sent in by veteran Ork player (what a guy!)
Michael Taylor. David Corby supplied the Squat Ancestor Lord rules. Thanks to them
both. Hope you enjoy them and feel inspired to think of your own.

The following special characters can be used in any appropriate army. For obvious reasons you can't have more than one of a special
character in an army. Suitable models are easily convened. The Ork special characters can be represented by any appropriate Nobz
model with a suitable banner. If you are particularly nimble fingered (more than me anyway) you can try and do little conversions.
Irongutz' Doomdredd should be made suitably imposing, the Zooma of Mekboy Bignailz should have appropriate armaments, and
soon.

Mad Doc Grotsnik

Mad Doc Grotsnilc is one of the most famous Painboyz in Ork
civilization. He was Boss Painboy to Ghazhgull Thraka during
the Armageddon campaign. and many medical inventions that
have changed Ork society recently have been pioneered by
him. It is was Mad Doc Grotsnik who first transplanted a
squig's brain into an Ork body, and with the aid of various
Mekboyz he has devised many wierd and wonderful Bionik
bits for patching up wounded Orks. Unfortunately, Mad Doc
Grotsnik cannot see the difference between normal surgery
and 'eksperimentin', and tries out new techniques on his
patients, even in the thick of banle,
Mad Doc Grotsnik has a 'bodyguard' of Madboyz who escort
him around the battlefield looking for casualties which he can
try to treat, and his Gretchin helpers constantly scurry around
him. Mad Doc Grotsnik and his aides follow all the normal
Madboyz rules. If an Ork or Gretchin stand is killed within
10cm of Mad Doc Grotsnik roll 106. On a roll of 5 or 6 he
manages to save them and they are not removed. On a roll of 1
his experimentation leads to more casualties, remove the
nearest troop stand from the same formation. If two or more
stands are an equal distance from Mad Doc Grotsnik the Ork
player may decide which one is removed.

Enjuneer Rotfang Bignailz rose to prominence after joining a
Waaagh! on the planet Skumgrot's Rock. He managed to build
an entire Great Garg ant big mob in a matter of weeks, and still
had enough spares left over to make numerous smaller
vehicles. His Apprentices have improved on many of his
designs, and a large proportion of the Mekboy Dragsters and
Speedsters that are on the battlefield owe some of their more
intricate innovations to Bignailz.
Enjuneer Bignailz may not be targened unless he is the closest
model. like a command unit, However he must be given orders
and checks morale as normal. In addition. any Ork vehicle that
is destroyed within 10cm of Bignailz is not removed on a 06

Bignailz carries around a large Kombi-weapon, which is
rather unpredictable. To find out how many attack dice it has
roll I 06 just before you fire. The result is the number of
attack dice for that tum. If you roll a 1 it bas backfired and

 Blood Axe Kommandos
The Blood Axes have always tried to employ the troop types
and tactics of the Imperium, from camoflage clothing to Land
Raider tanks. One if their more successful copies of human
military practices is the use of Kommados. The Komrnandos
are highly trained. and can infiltrate deep into enemy territory
to launch surprise attacks or set up ambushes.
As well as this they are potent close combat experts, allowing
them to get to grips with the toughest foes. This combines to
make them a higly effective, if somewhat limited, force. For
when they have achieved their primary mission. the Blood Axe
Kommandos carry Stikkbombz and Bolt Pistols. allowing
them to attack their enemies from a distance.

Weirdboy Warphead
Weirdboyz are Orks with raw psychic powers. When a
Weirdboy uses his powers he channels pure Orkiness through
his mind, sometimes leading to his head exploding and the
subsequent loss of vitality (Death!). Becuase of this most
Weirdboyz don't like being dragged around by huge
Warbosses, intent on making them risk life and limb. For this
reason they are normally locked up in tall Battletowers so they
can't escape.
Weirdboy Warpheadz are locked up in Battletowers so that
they don't get too carried away and blast apart the entire
battlefield. The Warpheadz actually like channelling Ork
Waaagh! power through ternselves and are addicted to the rush
of blood, the crackling sensation along the nerves and general
feeling of being the living incarnation of Gork or Mork.
These rules use the expanded psychic rules written in issue 3
of the Journal. Weirdboy Warpheadz are treated like any other
Weirdboy, accumalting Waaagh! power in the end phase, his
head exploding and so on.
Wcirdboy W arpheadz do not have to release their energy in a
psychic blast like ordinary Wierdboyz, they can use some of
the energy to draw Warp cards during the psychic phase. For
every 4 points of Waaagh! power given up the Warphead can
draw a Warp card and use these to cast the following powers.
The Weirdboy Warphead is a command unit and replaces the
ordinary Wierdboy in a Bauletower already purchased for
your force (so you must buy at least one Battletower to use the
Weirdboy Warphead). As a command unit the Warphead does
not need to be given orders and is immune to morale checks.

Because the Kommandos can move swiftly and react to the
enemy's deployment, they can be repositioned once both sides
have set up. They can be moved a distance up to their charge
movement (normally 20cm) and can move closer to the enemy
if you wish, though no closer than 5cm. If both sides have
scouts of this type (such as Eldar Scouts) roll a dice or toss a
coin to determine who has to move first
Because of their role in Ork warfare, Blood Axe Kommandos
have a high degree of intelligence (for Orks!) and initiative.
This allows them to act on their own without orders from Da

 Ancestor Lord
Squats are renowned for their longevity, and often live for
three hundred years or more. A few squats live much longer
than this and begin to develop psychic powers, and are known
as Ancestor Lords.
These Ancestor Lords are wise and have a long experience of
life and its problems. Their peacetime role is as advisors t the
Squat Warlords and Kings, on maners of trade, engineering
and other dilemmas that may arise.
When the Squats go to war the Ancestor Lords use their
considerable mental strength to protect their comrades, foretell
the future and entrap the enemy.
The Ancestor Lord replaces the existing Squat Living
Ancestor. An Ancestor Lord is a command unit and so never
needs orders or to check morale.
An Ancestor Lord has a Force Hammer which may store

may use the following psychic powers during the Psychic

LEGIONS OF CHAOS ®

LEGIONS OF CHAOS
By James Funnell
Titans are massive awe inspiring machines of death that mercilessly stalk the battlefield, Chaos
Titans represent the ultimate perversion of man and machine, a terrifying mix of flesh and metal
dedicated to the art of slaying for slaying's sake.

Hi there, I expect there are a few among you dedicated gamer
types who have sat down to read this article and thought "who
on Armageddon this James Funnell chappie", in which case
stop reading from the back and have a look at the editorial. For
those of you who look at the pictures first you will have
realised that I suffer from a terminal case of milliput on the
brain and Chaos Titan fever. Luckily I recently had a brief
relapse and some reader-friendly conversions are on their
way.
During the dark days of the Horus Heresy brother fought
brother. The great armies of the Imperial Guard turned traitor
and several of the mighty Titan legions declared their
allegiance to the Warmaster. The Heresy may be over but the
Warmaster's deadly legacy remains!With the failure of the
Heresy the Traitor forces were driven into the Eye of Terror.
The Emperor knew it would be suicidal to follow them so
there they remain, waiting to board space bulks and attack the
worlds of the mortals once again.
During their ten thousand year sojourn among the Demon
worlds the warping power of chaos has twisted and corrupted
the Titans into gigantic engines of terror that roam from battle
to battle eternally wreaking the carnage that they were built
for.Chaos Titans often appear as giant effigies of their patron
power with fearsome knashing heads or other unnatural
appendages.
Current Epic rules allow you to mount a lashing Chaos Titan
tail in addition to the Titans standard weapons. The rules
presented here represent the huge diversity amongst Chaos
Titans and allow you to utilise a variety of abilities and
attributes instead of (and including) the Chaos Titan tail.
Each Titan in your army may have one general attribute for
free. To determine what Attribute/Ability your Chaos Titan
has roll 206 and consult the general attribute table.
It is preferable that your model has any obvious attributes
modelled on to it ( note that some attributes are not always
visible, ie-Long legs/Daemonic protection ), also there is no
need to try and model "Flaming".
Tzeentch, Slaanesh and Nurgle Titans may have one General
Chaos attribute each.
To reflect the fury of a Khomate Titan's advance and its desire
to enter close combat, Khornate Titans may only be given
Advance or Charge orders. To make up for this Khornate
Titans are allowed two rolls on the General Chaos attribute
table.
Although the models shown below have been subjected to a
vicious milliput ordeal, this is by no means the only way to
convert Chaos Titans and I suggest that any sane Journal
readers delve in to their bits box for some appropriate parts.

GENERAL CHAOS ATTRIBUTE TABLE
2D6 AITRIBUTE
2 Tentacles - Writhing tentacles cover the Titans
body and grabbing any enemy model in reach. The
Titan gains + I CAF and may make a single grab
attack every turn. The grab attack has a Range of
10cm and will hit on a 4+ with a -2 saving throw.
3 Chaos Cannon - A number of big guns have been
attached to various parts of the Titan. These may
fire at the same time as the Titans other ranzed
weapons and have a Range of 50cm 2 attack dice
requiring a 5+ to hit with a - I saving throw
modifier.
4 Daemonic Protection - The Titan is particularly
favoured by its Chaos patron who protects it from
enemy psychic attacks. This gives the Titan a 4+
psychic saving throw.
5 Agile - The Titan is gifted with long legs and an
incredible sense of balance. This allows the Titan
to make anextra0-90 degree tum if'it bas advance
or charge orders.
6 Chaos Tail - A long sinuous tail lashes about
behind the Titan. The Titan gains a +3 bonus ro its
CAF during close combat.
7 Chaos Head - The Titan sports a vicious looking
head with snapping jaws and ominous looking gun
ports. The Titan gains a +2 CAF bonus and a
single ranged attack with range 25cm, 5+ to hit
with no saving throw modifier.
BUBONIS
DAEMONIC PLAGUE TITAN OF NURGLE.
Since the dark days of the Horus Heresy the renegade Titan
legions have dwelt in the Eye of Terror. For thousands of years
they have been proving themselves to the Dark lords in the
hope that the most worthy of them might be granted the
ultimate reward, Daemonhood!
Bubonis is one such Titan, once the command of Grand Master
Mamie Bubon, man and machine have become one and now
lead the much feared Festering Death Titan legion to war
against all-comers.
The legion of Festering Death, formally known by the
Imperium as the Silver Scythes bad been based on the rim of
Imperial space when the Heresy swept the lmperium into civil
war. Overlooked by many and far away from the bulk of the
fighting the Legions commanders quickly succumbed to the
lure of Chaos and entered the fray, siding with the Lord of
Decay. The Legion set about bringing famine and pestilence to
the worlds on the rim and unleashed ancient plagues upon the
planets, thus winning their Lord's favour.
SPECIAL RULES
Bubonis is a Greater Daemon and all normal rules apply, the
Titan is entitled to 3 chaos cards and he may use these to
negate the effects of a hit, the card must be played before
damage is rolled. Any units charged by Bubonis may not shoot
him in the first fire phase and must take a morale check or go
on to Fall back orders.
LEGIONS OF CHAOS
8 Scales - The Titan is covered with a layer of hard
scales that hamper incoming fire. The Titan has an
additional 5+save against all weapon hits. this
saving throw is modifiable as usual.
9 Flaming - The Titan is wreathed in magical fire
that causes opponents to back off and burns
unprotected troops. +2 CAP, any troop stands that
are in contact with the Titan at the beginning of the
close combat phase are killed on the roll of a 6 on
ld6.
10 Cyclops - The Titan is blessed with a single
penetrating eye that notices every detail, The Titan
has a + I bonus to hit when shooting at troops in
cover. Hence a Titan with this attribute shoots at a
troop stand in hard cover there will be a -1 penalty
to hit and no penally for shooting at troops in soft
cover. Cyclops can not be used in conjunction with
barrage weapons.
11 Long Spines - Many sharp spines protrude from
the Titans body making close assault difficult The
Titan gains a +2 bonus to CAF and may no longer
move rhrough woods (the spines catch in the
trees). infantry that attack the Titan suffer an
addiucnal-Z penally to their CAF.
12 The Titan is not in favour and may not have any
general attributes.
Whenever Bubonis moves he leaves a trail of sticky
contagious slime behind him, the slime trail is 4cm wide and
the template that is provided on the back inside cover should
be used to represent the slime. The slime remains in play for
the rest of the game and any troops who are not his minions
will take a single hit with a -2 save modifier if they touch the
template. Also any models that are in close combat with
Bubonis will take a hit on a 4+ with a -1 save modifier before
combat is resolved
Bubonis was once a Warlord class Titan and as such be can
make one 90 degree tum during his movement. He has 6 void
shields to protect him from incoming fire
1200 years ago Nurgle rewarded Bubonis for his loyalty and
devotion with special plague cannon. These are barrage
weapons that fire a festering ball of rotting waste that' s infused
with many sickening diseases. This hits its target and splatters
over a wide area hitting anything underneath with 8 barrage
points, any model that is hit suffers a -1 save modifier. After
shooting has been resolved leave the template in position and
roll on the plague outbreak table at the beginning of your
movement phase.

battle group, this battle group must be made up of Titans from
the Legion of Festering Death and may be picked from the
Titan Legion cards at the end of the article, as these are
Bubonis' followers. Titans from the Legion of Festering Death
can have general Chaos attributes and Nurgle specific Chaos
attributes.
If Bubonis is destroyed then any Titans from the Legion of
Festering Death will lose all of their general Chaos attributes.

concoction of maggots, slime and other foulness over its
opponents. Place the stream of corruption template anywhere

against the Titans base and the rounded end over the target
models. Any model caught under the template is killed on a

any of these attributes first roll a die to see how many attributes
the Titan may haverMinirnurn of one per Titan), this is
dependant on the size of the Titan. You may then choose

 HOW TO MAKE THE HEAD
the head piece from a Beast of Nurgle is quite large and it is

BUBONIS necessary to cut the actual head away from the "bib". To do
this make two straight cuts either side or the head so that a
triangular wedge ( with the head at the centre ) is removed
from the "bib" , don't make the wedge too big as we will be
BUBONIS IS MADE FROM A NUMBER OF using the "bib" later on. File the head down a bit and slot it in
DIFFERENT PARTS, YOU WU..L NEED . to position between the body section and the carapace.in the
space left by the removed overhang.
1 Plastic Warlord Titan Sprue ff you wish you can now glue the "bib" on to the rear of the

The Banners from a Palanquin of Nurgle picture on left)

The Read from a new Beast of Nurgle
1 Greater Daemon of Norgle Body section (the one with the

Tentacles from the old Beast of Nurgle
2 Arms from a Greater Daemon of Nurgle (one left and one
right)

To start your model glue the Rubble claws over the Titans
moulded feet and then attach the body section as usual, don't
glue the carapace on yet.
Next you wil1 need to take the carapace and drill some holes in
it, make the holes big enough so that the tentacles will fit
inside. It is also necessary to cut away the front overhang-
that's the bit with the Imperial eagle moulded to the top. You
can now glue the carapace to the rest of the Titan.
It is now time to attach Bubonis' main body,(thc Nurgle body
piece) this should fit quite well on to the front of the Titan THE ARMS The arms are also simple, although you may wish

the bottom of the Nurgle body piece fits between the Titans will look like the hand is gripping the Plague cannon, but be

even the entire hand off ( I know, l did it myself). After the
hand has been posed it is a simple matter to glue it on next to
the Plague cannon.

THE TENTACLES
Assuming you have drilled the boles into the carapace all you
have to do is cut the tentacles away from the rest of the metal
and position them as you like in the holes.

TO FINISH
This is up to you, your Bubonis model should now be ready
for painting although I recommend filling the gaps in the
model with some milliput. Also you may like to model
Bubonis' slime trail on to his base. again milliput would be
ideal., although I used some Bostic all purpose clear glue.

THE PLAGUE CANNON

These are simple to make. Take the two Titan heads of
Nurgle and cut of the rear tab ( the one that usually fits in to
the hole in the Titan body, ) and the tongue, you can now glue
these on to the front of the Gargant Gut buster cannons.
Attach the finished Plague cannon to the ann mounts on the
Titan.

Following the recent article on GOFFIK ROKKERZ in
Warhammer 40,000 I decided it would be unfair if everyone's
favourite little men (sorry Orks) were without some awesome
music to listen to. So here they are strait from the keyboard of
James Epic Mad Funnell.-LETS ROKK! !
DA MOST SPECIAL RULES
Soon after the ingenious Mekboys had created the Jamme,r
one particularly intelligent Ork (IQ=60) pointed out that he
could not hear the music as loud as he would like to. It was
soon afterwards that the Orks realised that this was the case for
any Ork who either tried to listen from a building or from
about 3000 meters away. Not loud enough at all ! !
After this astounding discovery was made the Mekboys set to
work building giant amplifiers and Jammer enhancement gear
and finally came up with Da TOUR WAGON, A giant tracked
platform that contained all the gear that the boyz could ever
want.

now explode on the roll of a 5+ on a D6 if be attempts to use
his powers.
Any Orks within 6cro of the Tour Wagon will pass morale
tests automatically and gain a+ I to their CAF in close combat,
but due to the disorientation caused by head banging these
Orks will suffer a -1 to hit penalty when shooting. Da Tour
Wagon is accompanied by a number of Orks,(weJI quite a lot
actually). There are 5 stands of Bouncer Orks that accompany
the wagon, they must stay within 5cm of the wagon at all times
and the wagon may transport these five stands (no others) if
you wish. The bouncers share orders with the wagon and
count as Goff boyz,
If the wagon is destroyed all Ork units within 6cm of the
wagon must take a morale test, if this is failed the Orks will go
in to berserk frenzy and must charge towards the model that
destroyed the Tour wagon next tum. If the Bouncer Orks pass
their morale test they will stay with the wreck and guard it -
they are placed on first fire orders for the rest of the game, if
they fail the morale check and charge off then they must move
back towards the destroyed tour wagon at charge rate until
they are within 6cm of it.
All Tour Wagons are equipped with a variety of big noisy
cannon, these are fired by unfortunate Orks and Gretchin who
are thrown in to the special ROKK insulated gunning
compartments by the big, bossy Bouncer Orks. And they make

Da Tour Wagon counts as a super heavy vehicle for movement

and pinning. It is allowed any orders but must stay within
1 Ocm of a Ork command unit to receive them.
The Tour wagon and anything within 6cm will get an
unmodified save of 4+ on a D6 if attacked by a psychic power.
 GOFFIK ROKKERZ

good sound effects too !

Da Tour wagon is also equipped with a special Mega Woofer
sound blaster, this is a giant speaker with a truly tremendous
output Once per game the Mega Woofer can be overloaded
and used as a weapon. Take the Inferno gun template(big tear
drop) and place the pointed end so that it touches the Tour
wagon, place the rounded end over your target. Any model
underneath the template will be bit on the roll of a 4+ on a D6
with a -1 to their saving throw, Titans shields arc ignored and
Titans will suffer a hit on the head if they arc affected. Any
unit that contains models which have been hit but not killed
can not be given orders next tum as they have been temporarily
deafened by the sound blast. This includes Titans as thei:r crew
are hooked in to auto systems that allow them to hear the
battle. Troops without orders may not move, but may shoot in
the advance fire phase.
The Tour Wagon is protected from incoming fire by 1D3
powerfields. If the wagon is bit and it has remaining power
fields roll a D6 , on the roll of a 6 the shot passes through the
shield and hits the Tour wagon instead.

MODELLING DA TOUR WAGON

MODELLING THE GOFFIK ROKKERZ TOUR WAGON.
YOU WILL NEED ....

1 Sprue from an Ork Mega Gargant ( The one with the hull pieces)
3 Gun turrets, the ones from the Lead Ork Battle Wagons work well (or anything else that's handy),
5 Stands of Ork Boyz, some Wildboyz, Madboyz and a Warboss.

HOW TO MAKE DA TOUR WAGON

• Take the bottom hull piece and glue on the front spikes and rear ramps

• Cut the tops off of the two side tracks so that they are level with the top of hull piece

• Gluc the rwo side tracks Lo the bull and add a turret to the bottom turret mounts.

• Take the Lop hull piece (the small one) and glue it towards the back of the bottom bull piece, stick a turret to tbe top of this.

• You need some pieces to go on top of the tracks, T used the arm mounts from my Mega Gargant sprue but you could use anything.

• Rummage through your bits box and find some bits that you can use as loud speakers, drums etc. Stick these aJJ over your wagon
, put the drums in front of top hull piece leaving enough room for a drummer to stand behind.

• Take some Madboys and trim down the bolrplstols ( make them look like drumsticks ) , cut tbe Madboyz off of their base and stick
them behind the drums.( super glue is best)

• Take the Warboss and trim down his gun ( make it look like a microphone), cut him from his base and glue him to the centre.front
of the bottom hull.

• Take the Wildboyz cut off their axes and glue them on to the Odes chests with the handle towards the Wildboys band, cut them
from their bases and stick them all over the bottom hull piece.

• The Tour Wagon is now finished you should paint it in the colours of the Goff clan.

THE BOUNCERS
• Make up 5 stands of Orks and paint them in Goff Ork colours, these arc the bouncers.

terrifying warriors, Bubonis and the
Legion of Festering death.
I expect many of you screamed at the
thought of only being able to purchase
additional attributes for Nurgle Titans.
Well now you can calm down because
in this second installment of Legions
of Chaos 1 will tell you a tale about
Skylok mighty winged Daemon Titan
of Tzeentch and his loyal followers,
the Suns of Damnation Titan Legion.
Now you will be able to purchase

SKYLOK WINGED
., TITAN OF
TZEENTCH
. Like Bubonis Skylok escaped the
carnage of the Horus Heresy and fled·
to the Eye of Terror after the
Warrnaster was killed. Here he now
waits in eternal conflict for a chance to
wreak his vengeance upon he worlds
of Mankind once again.
Once the Heresy was under way Grand
Master Sarlon Hess of the Burning
Stars Titan Legion was one of the first
Jmperial commanders to come under
! the Warmaster's sway. He announced
his traitorous intentions by mounting a
lightning raid upon the important
i Imperial fuel dump on Stienor IV,
immobilising an entire Imperial space
fleet for a whole month. His name and
Stars were promptly stuck from
Imperial records and they are now
known as the Suns of Damnation.
Wherever they go the mighty form of
Skylok swooping through the skies is
an ominous sign of awaiting death that
causes fear in all that behold him.
SPECIAL RULES
Skylok counts as a greater daemon and
all normal rules apply, This means He
is entitled to 3 Chaos cards which may
be used to negate the effects of any
unsaved hits. The card must be played
after you fail Sky loks' saving throw
but before damage is rolled.
Skylok inspires terror in all his
enemies and any units charged by him
may not shoot if they are on first fire
go on to fall back orders.
Because Skylok has huge wings his
movement is totally different to any
other Titan. Skylok can fly and and
follows all the rules for flyers as
described in Titan Legions.
Skylok must move between lU and
30cm and can make a single 90° turn at
the beginning or end of his move, this
move must be in a straight line but he
can ignore terrain as he flies over it.
At the end of Skyloks' move he may
declare that he is flying high, place
him on the top of a cup or something
similar to represent his height. When
Skylok is flying high anything on the
table will be able to see him and he
will be able to see them. Any enemy
models wishing to shoot Skylok while
he is flying high must add 25cm to
their range as gravity is against them.
This penalty does not apply to Skylok
himself.
If Skylok does not fly high then he is
permitted to make a special Death
Swoop attack. With an ear bursting
screech Skylok swoops down on an
unsuspecting enemy vehicle and
attempts to pick it up in his talons.
To make a Death Swoop attack Skylok
must first forfeit half of his movement,
then if he he moves over any enemy
vehicle (Titans, Super heavy tanks and
infantry stands can not be picked up)
he may attempt to pick it up. Roll a 06
if you score a 2 or more then Skylok
has successfully grabbed his target and
flown of with it.
Once Skylok has grabbed a vehicle be
may drop it at any time in the rest of
the current movement phase or during
any subsequent movement phase.
Once dropped the victim is
automatically destroyed and anything
that it falls on will be destroyed if its
armour save is worse than that of the
vehicle that is being dropped on it. If a
Titan is hit it will loose 1 shield. If it
has no shields choose a location and
roll the aim dice as usual, if the hit
locations armour save is worse than
that of the vehicle that is being
dropped then roll on the locations
damage table.
Skylok may only have one vehicle in
his talons at a lime.
Skylok was originally a Warlord class
Titan and as such he is equipped with 6
void shields.
Skylok is armed with a potent array of
magical weapons. Powerful Lightning
cannon protrude from his carapace
ready to spit electric death while he
can bring a Beam of Power in to
existence to burn large targets to a
crisp. Skylok has also bean gifted with
the ability to cast The Magic of
Tzeentch.
Skylok may caJI upon the power of the
Magic of Tzeentch once per Psychic
phase, Place a barrage template
anywhere within 25cm of Skylok, any
model underneath will be hit on the
roll of a 5+ on a 06 and must make an
unmodified saving throw or be
destroyed. If any Infantry stands are
destroyed in the attack then these will
be transformed in to Pink Horrors.
Place a Pink Horror stand where the
infantry stand used to be, the Horrors
will come under the control of the
Chaos player from the next turn and is
worth no victory points.
SKYLOKS' FOLLOWERS
If you take Skylok as part of your army
then you must also buy him followers.
Skylok must have at least 3 minion
cards accompanying him and he can
have a maximum of 5 minion cards.
Skylok also allows you to purchase a
Titan battle group from the Suns of
Damnation Titan Legion cards at the
end of this article. These are Skyloks'
followers and any Titan picked as a
minion for Skylok will be from the
Suns of Damnation Titan Legion.
Titans from the Suns of Damnation
Titan Legion may have general Chaos
Attributes and Tzeentch specific
Chaos Attributes.
Jf Skylok is destroyed then any Titans x
from the Suns of Damnation Titan
Legion will lose all of their general
Chaos attributes, Tzeentcb specific
attributes will not be affected.
TZEENTCH SPECIFIC
POWERS
Tzeentch specific attributes may also
be purchased al additional cost for any
Tzeentch Titan (Not Skylok), if you
wish to buy any of these attributes first
roll a die to see how many attributes the
Titan may have (minimum of one per
Titan), this is dependant on the size of
the Titan. You may then choose
attributes freely at the cost indicated.
To buy attributes for Titans multiply
the attribute cost by the modifier . To
use these attributes it is necessary to
have the model suitably converted.

Titan from the same Battle group. If a Titan is more than 25cm from
its baule group in the orders phase it must go on to advance orders
until it is back within 25cm of another Reaver Titan from the group
in the orders phase of a subsequent cum.

Reaver Battle Titans can not be broken so they do not need to make
morale checks. 5 Victory points are awarded to the opposing player
for each Reaver Titan destroyed.

 呸MEGA WARS呸
EPIC AND 40K CAMPAIGN SYSTEM
By the Journal Team
When armies group together with infantry numbering in the
thousands, vehicles and Titans of mass destruction
overshadow them, dwarfing them with their immense height.
When this happens brothers you know war is upon you. War
on an immense scale. It' you have ever wanted to fight a
massive 40K and Epic campaign then this campaign sy. tern is
for you.
When we first got together here in the Journal bunker we had
a good long discussion over what we were going to put in the
Journal. One of the first things we discussed was a campaign
system for Epic and 40K. Over a 3 month period ,, e all
worked feverishly to com pi le our ideas into a workable
system which combines the two games smoothly together.
The results of which are in these pages right here.
Unfortunately the rules for Mega Wars have proved to be too
long lo fit into one Journal so we have split them in half. ln
this, the first part, we give you all you need to get started.
deployment, choosing armies and the turn sequence and rules
itself. In the second part we will show you more advanced
. rules such as missions, fortifications, experience. multi player
campaigns and campaign scenarios.
We have also fought several campaigns over the last few
months to playtest these rules and make sure that the呸 work
properly to ensure the game is as fun as possible.
4
We will be detailing our campaign and its results in Journal
l l. It is a fairly complex campaign involving three armies.
Watch this space for more derails.
This system is fairly flexible so you can fight just an Epic
campaign or just a 40K campaign. Of course you can be
really clever and fight a Warhammer campaign or any other
w argames system you like for that mauer.
\\ ithout further ado we proudly introduce (fanfare, drum roll
etc.) 呸1ega Wars.
PREPARING THE CAMPAIGN
Before you can begin a Mega Wars campaign you need a map.
The best \\ a呸 to make your map is to gel hold of some large
sheets of card and polystyrene. Glue the card onto the
poly ,t) rene and mount this on a wall somewhere. This will
prov ide a rigid board which will not move about when the
pins. ,\ hich represent armies are put into the board, the
pol呸 styrene prevents them from falling out.
Thea get a long ruler and draw a grid on the board. Each
-quare should be approximately half an inch square. You will
need to make the grid fir properly with a good number of
squares in it. We recommend 60 X 40 squares as an ideal size.
Or y ou could 呸 30 X ..+O. or 40 X 40 or even 60 X 60, the size
j.., up to you and depends upon how big a campaign you want
to fight. 呸take sure chat the grid is painted in black so that
when the board is painted green you can still see where the
grid lines are.
Xext the map needs to be painted to show the terrain you are
playing over. The implcst way to do this is paint the whole
map green and then paint on forests in a darker green, hills and
mountains in brown and white for snowcapped tops and
an呸 thing ehe that takes your fancy really. Leave towns and
citie for now. We shall be covering rules for towns, cities
and other fortifications in the next Journal.
CHOOSING AN ARMY
Choosing an army is the hardest part of a campaign. Firstly
both of the players should decide upon a points value that they
,, ish to play with. Everything is bought in Epic points values
so you will need a huge amount of points. 50,000 points is an
average size for a campaign army. You then need to spend all
of your points Lo create the biggest army you can imagine
from the Epic Company, Detachcrnent and Special cards.
Normal re. trictions apply to the amount of cards you choose
but you are free to select any cards that you want.
Obviously you will never have enough models to represent
everything you have just bought, so you will need LO split the
army up for tactical purposes. There are no restrictions on
how you split up your army except that you must be able to
represent all of the troops in each contingent on me tabletop.
Other thao this limitation there are no restrictions on your
contingents, From now on each of these contingents shall be
referred to as an 'army'.
In the special case of Tyranid armies they must keep their Epic
armies within the hexagonal brood structure so that they gain
rhe Hive Mind cards each game. Each separate army needs a
hive structure instead of the army as a whole. Each sepcrate
Chaos army must also conform to the normal for Epic Chaos
armies with cards being under Greater Daemons. Other types
of army are free to split their company or detachment cards
however they see fit.
Each player needs to write individual army Lists for each army
he has. Titans must have the weapons that your models are
armed with written down on the army list. They cannot be
changed once the campaign has started.
Epic and 40K armies
If the army has an army rating of 15 or less and all of the
models in the army can be represented on a 40K tabletop with
rules to go with them then it is a 40K army. If the army racing
is over 15 then it is an Epic army.
It is best to remember to have a lot of smaller armies that will
make good scouting armies because they can be lost very
easily, if you are good at rolling 1 · s that is. Remember that a
40K army may not have an army rating of above 15. So create
these armies with this upper limit in mind.
Wargear and weapon options
For your 40K armies you will need a separate points value for
the wargear. special abilities. weapon upgrades and grenades
that you cannot buy using Epic poincs values. This should be
a predetermined amount decided by you and your adversaries.
Around 3000 points should be enough for an average force of
50,000 points. This can then be used however you want to up
to the points limit and within the limitations of the equipment
themselves. Write down which weapons are with which 40K
army. They may be swapped and changed about just prior to a
battle but after the battle bas begun they cannot be changed.

Each army is represented by a pin on the map. You will need
lots of large pins to use for this. Make sure they arc big
enough LO paint numbers or letters on the top of chem so that
呸 ou can tell them apart. Make sure that the numbers on the
pins correspond to your army lists so that you cannot get your
armies mixed up.
Each player must start with one HQ base. The HQ base must
be protected at all times because this is where the Campaign
Commander is (that's you, you know) and is also where the
orders arc transmitted from. If you lose your HQ base then
you cannot send any more orders and you are out of the game
completely. The HQ base also has several other special rules
which are covered in the End Phase section.
Xext each army must have its army rating written on the top of
rts army list. An army rating is a number which represents
now big a force it is. This army rating is used to determine
whether an army outnumbers another or not before a battle
begins. Work out your army rating as the following list
indicates. After you have added up the total round up any odd
J.5 · s tO a full number and round up any odd numbers of
models in squads to a full 5.
Some weapons have a limitation on ammunition. Such as
Whirlwinds and Shokk attack Guns in 40K for example. In
these cases keep a track of how many shots they use and once
they are out of ammo they cannot fire this gun again during
the battle. They do however carry extra stocks of ammo but
cannot replace it during the battle. It will be done in the End
Phase before the next battle.
Some of the wargear cards can only be used once per battle,
such as grenades and Seer stones and the like. These can be
used once per battle that the character is involved in provided
the character carrying them is alive. This represents the
character having lots of the wargear but has limited stocks and
can only have one for each battle.
Strategy cards will be covered in the advanced rules part next
issue so put them aside for now.

DEPLOYMENT
Now that you have your armies and your map you need to
o.s deploy your forces for the long campaign ahead. Deployment
as in any game is very important and you must make sure that
you have the right armies in the right places for any plan of
2 attack to work well.

and 10 squares from the North and South sides. Position each
10 army pin in the deployment zone alternately, starting with the
player who chose Ute board edge, until all of the army pins are
in the map. You are now ready to begin the campaign.

Winning the Campaign
Winning the campaign is very simple. The objective is to
destroy the enemy totally. The best way to do this is to get to
the enemy's HQ base and wipe out the enemy commander. In
this way you will win the campaign automatically. You can of
course create your own victory conditions with any variations
you chose. In the next Journal we will detail various
campaigns you could fight and their special victory
conditions.
Grid References
A grid reference is given in two numbers the first is along the
bottom of the map and the second is up the side. Remember
"Along the corridor and Up the stairs". Tbe following way of
determining a random grid reference is for a 60 X 40 map. It
is easy enough to convert the system to whatever size map you
are using.
To work out a random grid reference you will need some dice.
Roll a D6 first. A I indicates a number between 1 and 10. a 2
between I I and 20, 3 between 21 and 30 and so on. Next roll
a DI O and this is the number between those brackets that the
'Along the corridor' number is in. For example you roll a 5 on
the 06 and l on the DI O so the grid number is -41, or a I is
rolled on the D6 and a O ( or I 0) score is on the DI 0. This is
grid number l 0.
The second number is worked out by rolling a D4 first. A I
indicates a number between I and 10. a 2 between 11 and 10
and a 3 between 21 and 30 and so on. Next roll a D lO and add
it to the score in exactly the same way as above. This is the
'Up the stairs' number. For example you roll a I on the D4
and a 2 on the DI 0, the grid is number 2.
Now put the two numbers together and you have a random
grid reference. For example a 4 is rolled on the 04 and a 6 on
the DI 0. Then a 3 is rolled on the 06 and a 1 is rolled on the
DI 0. The grid reference is 36/21. When you are asked to roll
for a random grid reference follow the above procedure.
TURN SEQUENCE
There are 3 turns a day. Each turn progress' in sequence
according to the table below. The turns are Morning,
Afternoon and Night. There are many different advantages
and disadvantages of fighting at different times of the day.
Keep a track of whether it is morning, afternoon or night
because it does make a difference in the game.
TURN SEQUENCE TABLE
Orders Phase You must write the orders which
are sent to your armies each turn
Initiative Phase This determines who moves first
Movement Phase This is when all of your armies
move
Batlle Phase Any armies in contact will fight
battles now
End Phase Any damage or losses are recovered
in this phase
ORDERS PHASE
To be of any effective use each day an army muse be given
orders. Each army should have a number or way of
identifying them. On a sheet of paper write those numbers
down along with orders you wish to give chem. All of the
orders you can give them are outlined below. Unless it says
otherwise the grid reference you want them to move to is
required for each order. Tbe grid reference muse be within
their movement allowance (MA) and cannot be further than
this distance away.
Some events and certain situations wiJI mean that they cannot
reach their target grid reference. Such circumstances cannot
be taken into consideration when writing the orders so do not
worry if something docs happen to stop your army reaching
the grid reference given in the orders.
AD\'A呸CE. The army marches aU of the turn at double its
MA to a new location. Write the grid reference that is within
double their 呸IA that you want them to reach. They are not
ready to fight a battle and any army attacked while on
Advance orders will be Surprised. NOTE: This order cannot
be used to deliberately move double your MA and engage an
enemy but be surprised, this goes against the whole point of
having this order.
BATTLE READY. The army prepares for battle. They can
move their full 呸!A this turn and engage an enemy in battle if
they can reach them. The army must be given a grid reference
to move and engage an enemy army. ·
RADIO SILENCE. The army moves all of the turn at its full
MA but cannot engage an enemy at the end of the move.
Instead they maintain radio silence and do not Report In (See
Below). They are ready for battle if they arc attacked by an
enemy they will not be surprised, but will be surprised if they
encounter someone when moving.
SCOUTING. The army is now a scouting force and will
move up to its full MA to scout an enemy army out. They
need a grid reference of the area you want them to scout. The)
arc not battle preped and will be surprised if attacked this turn.
AMBUSH. An army on Ambush orders may not move this
tum as they dig themselves in and prepare an ambush. They
are prepared for battle and any enemy army that moves on
them this turn will be surprised regardless of whether their
enemy cause surprise. They do not need a grid reference.
FALL BACK. An army that is broken is automatically put on
Fall Back orders and an army may fall back if you want it to.
An army on Fall Back orders moves as fast as their MA allows
them to towards their HQ base and are not prepared for battle
and so will count as surprised if attacked this tum. If they are
not broken a grid reference is required to get them back to
where you want chem.
 RANDOM EVENT TABLE

5 Radio Silence orders to the original g;ric.l reference if they can reach there.
6 Ambush orders so they remain iu place and set up an Ambush.
5 STORM. All armies on the map move half their MA this turn.
6 EAR'J'BQUAKE. Roll for grid reference. This is where the tremor begins. Next roll a D6 and consult the

4-5 MINOR QUAKE. All armies wlthin 2D6 squares cannot move at all this turn.
6 MAJOR, QUARE. All armies within 306 squares cannot move at all this turn and the closest army is
swallowed \JP by the quake and totally destroyed. Remove this army from the map and erase their army
list.

Surprise
Surprise can make a great amount of difference to a battle. [t
makes your troops less ready for battle and could change the
game around. If both armies cause surprise then they are both
cancelled out. The surprise rules are covered as and when
they are needed in these rules .
.After the orders are written for all of your armies the Orders
Phase is over so move on to the Initiative Phase.
INITIATIVE PHASE
Both players roll a dice to determine which player will move
first. The highest roll will move first then the lowest second.
If the dice are the same, ie doubles, then a random event has
occurred. Whichever double was rolled is the event as
described on the event table above, ie a double 3 indicates that
bad weather has afflicted your troops.
After any events have been worked out then the players roll
again. If both players throw a double again then another event
takes place, in which case roll again and continue to do so
until both players roll different numbers. The initiative phase
has now been finished so move onto the Movement phase.
 may be asked to prove the orders. To do this cover up any
other orders so that the army which is moving has its orders

Moving armies during the night
During the night armies are very hard to co-ordinate and move
to where you want them. To represent this all armies move
half distance during the night phase. Even races which can
see in the dark will find it hard to co-ordinate so this applies to
them also.
Transports
It is possible to have your whole army in some sort of
transporter in which case they will move one square faster
than the table above indicates. All of your troops have to be in
tanks or transports to gain this bonus. Even if a single 40K
trooper or Epic base is left outside then you do not gel this
bonus. The fast army forces detailed on the previous page
have already had this bonus taken into account and do not gain
it.
Terrain
Terrain makes a great difference in a campaign as it does in a
normal game. Difficult terrain costs two squares of MA per
square which is moved over. Very difficult terrain is
impassable to a whole army so they must go around it. Any
army pins which have just flying models in them may ignore
all terrain modifiers.
Half Movements
If there are several half movements penalties played on your
army then they may not move at all this turn as they struggle
to overcome both difficulties. If a half MA penalty is in play
on an army and reduces it to a half move roll a 06. On a 1-3
round down, if this reduces it to O then they may not move at
all. On a 4-6 round up and move as normal.
Big Epic armies and battles
An Epic army which has 40 stands of infantry or more and has
just fought a baule must stay in position to reorganise and
recover their army. Next turn they cannot move to a new grid
reference but may be put on any orders you choose for
surprise purposes.

Encounters
When two opposing army pins move into contact with each
other then this is called an encounter. The result of an
encounter usually means that there will be a battle.
Sometimes scouts attempt to survey the enemy forces or an
army may run off to hide away somewhere.
To discover the result of an encounter both players must
declare whether the pin represents an Epic or a 40K army. If
the army is on scouting orders then this is also declared. The
attacking player declares first and then the defending player
must declare.
Next look at the Encounter table above to determine what the
result of the Encounter will be. The attacking army is down
the side, this is the army that moved into the square last. The
defending player is along the top and this is the player that was
in the square first. Look up the result of the encounter using
the rules below and follow the rules which follow.
If the result of the encounter is a battle then both armies move
encls here and they prepare for battle. See Army Ratings and
Outnumbering below for details of what happens next.

When this happens problems can arise. The first army lo be

then any following army's join it. Do not check to see
whether the army is outnumbered until all of the forces
arriving at the square have got there (See below). Common
sense will sort out most problems.

Fleeing
When an army is on Scouting orders they avoid the enemy as
much as possible and will go to great lengths to avoid
confrontation. With a fleeing result the scouting force is
attempting to avoid the larger army. Roll a D6. Subtract -1 if
the fleeing scouts were surprised. On a I the scouts are
destroyed but on a 2 or more the scouts have escaped so move
the fleeing Army back I square directly away from the other.
If the square has another enemy army in it then the fleeing
army will move to a different square. If there are no empty
SCOUTING TABLE

YP's for destroying them.
2 SPOTIED. The Scouts do not discover a

about the scouts.
3 FAILED. The Scouts could not get close

the scouts discover how many men are with
the army, how many tanks, how many Titans
and how many vehicles. Add up the number
of troops in the army to tell your opponent.
Do not tell him what they are! Just how many
there are! A player which has been scouted
may declare that troops are inside vehicles if
'they can fit them all inside them, in which
case just read out the number of vehicles.
5 PARTIAL SUCCESS. As above except the
scouts discover what troops are with the
army. Read out to the player the number and
type of what you have. This includes Titans
. and vehicles, but do not tell your opponent
what weapons they are all armed with and
keep characters and special cards for
characters secret with this result.
6 SUCCESS. The scouts discover every last
detail about the army. As above except
add any characters, special cards, what
weapons they are armed with, but you may
keep grenades and wargear cards a secret.
Scouting
A scouting forces job is to seek out enemy positions and report
back on their forces and locations. When Scouts come across
an enemy they will stay around long enough to see what the
opposing army is and report back to their HQ base.
Firstly the force which is being scouted must declare which
order they are on. Not the grid reference they are moving to,
just the order name. This is done for surprise purposes.
Next a scouting roll is required. Roll a 06 and consult the
table (light) to discover the successes of the scouts. Add + l lo
the roll if the enemy was surprised and -1 to the roll if the
scouts are surprised.
After the scouting roll is made the army which has been
scouted will move and follow their orders. This is the only
exception to the move over rule. This shows that the scouts
watch the army pass by and they will end up in the square they
were in. Tf the army stays in place but were not on Ambush
orders then the Scouts will move back 1 square in the direction
they came from. If the army that was scouted is on Ambush
orders then they can attack the scouts and will surprise them.
Army Rating and Outnumbering
After you have checked the Encounter Table but before each
battle is fought a check must be made to see whether one of
the forces is so much bigger than another to make fighting the
battle a waste of ti me. Each of your armies has an Army
Rating. See the Anny Rating section of the choosing an army
section to discover how to work out your Anny Rating.
It is best to check this table after all of the armies moving this
tum have moved because several different armies may move
to the same location. lf this happens then add their combined
army ratings together and then check the chart opposite .
The army which is attacking, ie: the player who moved into
the square where U1e battle will take place, last, declares his
Army Rating first. Then the defending army which was in the
square first declares his Army Rating. Compare each army's
rating with each other using the Outnumbering chart opposite.
Cross reference the two army ratings to find a result.
The results are either FB which means the armies fight a battle
or OUT which means they are outnumbered and make a
fleeing roll. A fleeing roll is done in exactly the same way as

After all of the armies have moved and all of the scouting and
fleeing rolls have been made then the Movement Phase is over
and it is time to move on to the Battle Phase,
During the Battle Phase any armies which have moved into
the same square as another army may fight a battle against
them, Players alternate the choice of which battle is fought
first begining with the player who won the initiative,
Fighting battles at night
At night the world is changed into a haunted land of darkness
and shadows. You cannot see so far, you cannot fight so well
and the dark things that hunt in the night are far more
frightening.
If any battles are fought at night then alJ ranges arc reduced to
short range or half distance in Epic, because shadows cover
your enemies and you are not really sure of what you are
shooting at. All Leadership tests are made at -1 at night as the
darkness makes things worse than daylight Jn Epic this
means+ I to all morale values.

Fighting Battles
The following rules apply to every type of battle both Epic and
40K. The army which began its turn at this grid reference or
arrived there first is called the defender. The army which
arrived at the square last is called the attacker, The defender
deploys first unless they were on Ambush orders. In this case
the attacker has walked into the trap and must deploy first.

Deployment zones are exactly the same as in the Space

Marine/Titan Legions and Warharnrncr 40,000 rulebooks. ie:
40 cm from the table centre in Epic and 12" from the table
edge and 12" from the side edges in 40K
Initiative rolls and Strategy rolls are made as normal except if
one of the armies is causing surprise over another, An army
which is surprising the other may add +2 to the first initiative
roll and the first Strategy roll to see who moves first.

There are no set number of turns in any games. The game will
last Jong enough for one army to completely destroy the other,
one of the armies withdraws or the army as a whole is broken
(See finishing a battle below).

11

All mission cards, objective markers and other special playing
cards not described in these rules are NOT used in these
games at all, so put them all away.
Fighting Battles on a Warhammer 40,000 scale
Terrain is generated in the method described on page 9 of the
Warharnmer 40,000 rulebook. The game is fought as normal
using the rules outlined above.
Fighting Battles on an Epic scale
Set up terrain as you would for a normal Epic game using the
rules from Space Marine or Titan Legions. The game is
fought as normal using the rules outlined above.
If an Epic army fights against a 40K army then set up the 40K
army using Epic miniatures. This should be possible in most
cases. In the rare case of a model not existing then improvise
as best you can. If you have an odd number of models to make
a troop stand, ie: 3 models instead of 5, then round up. You
will need 3 models or more to make a troop stand. 2 or less
means they will count as Reserves (See below). Models
converted from 40K to Epic or vice versa will be assumed to
have the weapons and equipment that they come with in Epic.
For example a Space Marine Epic stand is assumed to have
four marines armed with bolters and one marine with a
Missile launcher.
Reserves
Before a game of any type, be it 40K or Epic, then each player
must decide which troops are being used in the battle and
which are being held in reserve. Troops which will act as
reserves are any vehicles you have in an army but do not have
enough models for and any other troops which you wish to
come into the battle later in the game.
You must write down which tum you want the reserves to
enter the battle on and which troops you want to join in with.
When the turn arrives they must make a Ld test using the
hishest Ld of the reserves coming on and if they are successful
th;y may come on at the start of your turn anywhere along
your table edge. If they fail the Ld test then they must wait
until your next turn and must then pass a Ld test as above.
In Epic make a D6 roll requiring equal to or greater than the
reserves morale value to come on during the turn you want
them to. If they fail roll again next turn. Use the highest
morale value in the reserves you want to bring on to test with.
After a battle any reserves will join the army in whatever they
are doing. If the army lost the battle and are withdrawing or
breaking then they will too (See finishing a battle below). If
the army won then the reserves join them to heal the wounded
and mourn the lost. But if the army was completely destroyed
then the Reserves count as broken and retreat one square back
from the battle. They are now on their own.
Finishing a battle
A battle may end in a number of different ways. Your army
may break from the battle (See breaking from battles below),
they may make a tactical withdrawal (See withdrawals below)
or you could be completely destroyed or may simply
sun-ender. An army which is completely destroyed or
surrenders is lost so erase the army list and remove the pin
from the map.
Breaking from Battles
During a battle your soldiers may become disheartened with
the way the battle is progressing, for example if they lose a lot
of their comrades they may not want to fight on any more or
they may fight on for revenge. To represent this on the
battlefield as soon as your force as a whole has taken 25%
casualties during any battle you must make a
Leadership/morale check to see whether they will fight on.
Test using the highest Ld or Morale value left alive in your
army. This Ld test is made once per turn as soon as 25%
casualties have been taken.
If the Leadership/morale check is failed then the broken army
leaves the battlefield immediately. All models in hand to hand
combat will fight it out but with a -2 to their combat resolution
or CAP. If they kill their opponent then they turn and run.
Leaving the battlefield after their comrades. Otherwise they
will not leave the battlefield at all.

Space Marines which fail a Ld test in this way will become
Shaken, this means that all of the Marines count as shaken and
any that were Shaken become Broken. Space Marines may
attempt to rally as usual but any which are broken leave the
battlefield immediately.
In an Epic game compare the fastest Move for each army with
each other using the Movement difference modifier table
below. Again the army which is broken or withdrawing is
along the top and the pursuer is down the side. The modifier

Next see Pursuit below to determine whether the army escapes

otherwise they will go onto Fall Back orders next turn.

Withdrawals
During any battle a player may wish to withdraw to save their
troops lives. A withdrawal is where all of the models on the
table leave over their own table edge. Once all of the models
left alive move over the table edge then they have withdrawn.
Next see Pursuit below Lo determine whether the whole army

A result of I indicates that the army has been completely
destroyed as they were running away. A roll of 2 or more
indicates that they got away. An unmodified dice roll of I is
always a fail and a 6 a success though no matter the number of
modifiers.
Retrieving the wounded
After a battle the dust settles and the dead are counted. Those
who flee the field of battle can carry any casualties with them
from the battlefield. But some brave souls can stagger off
under their own strength co escape the death and carnage that
is battle.
Vehicles, Titans and the Tyranid equivalents cannot be
retrieved and healed because they are too large for other
troops to simply help off of the table. Any which are
completely destroyed in battle are removed from the army list
as casualties. If they were just damaged then they will be
repaired in the End phase as normal. For each troop stand.

Space Marines have super-human bodies and so may add + 1

For every model or troop stand who is seriously wounded you
will need to look at the table below and discover how the loser
of the battle lost and what the modifier is to retrieving each
wounded trooper. The None result means that no troops can
be retrieved at all.
Then roll a D6 for each seriously wounded model or troop
stand and add the modifiers above. A score of S or more is
required to carry a model or troop stand off to safety. Add + 1
if the army has a medic or other medically minded troop with
them as they know what they are looking for when retrieving
injured men. Any troops which are retrieved are healed but
any that are not die so remove them from your army list.

psychic powers or any other form of killing through the warp
should be put seperate to other models killed. This is because
they are automatically killed and cannot be retrieved so
remove them from the army list.
Characters and models with multiple wounds receive the best
medical attention and will receive all of their wounds back
ready for the next battle provided they were not casualties.
They will get all of their wounds back if they were retrieved.
Any characters which die are removed from the army list.
Victory Points
After the battle is over add up the victory points that each
player has earnt. This can be a tricky process when some
company or detachment cards may be split up. Try to work
out the VP's as accurately as possible. If an army was
completely destroyed then they will get no VP's at all. The
Victory Points arc worked out before casualties are recovered
and retrieved, this is because you get VP's for everything
wounded but they may not necessarily be killed. These VP's
now become Experience Points (EP's). These can be spent in
the End phase to make your armies troops better and therefore
more experienced. See Experience below for more details.
After all of the battles have been fought and all of the
wounded have been retrieved then the Battle Phase is over and
it is time to move on to the End Phase.

END PHASE
Repairs
Any damage to any vehicle, field gun, tank or Titan is repaired
quickly enough to fight that same day unless they were
completely destroyed. If they are completely destroyed then
remove them from the army list.
Rallying
Any armies which are broken can be rallied now. Make a Ld
test for each army using the highest Ld characteristic in the
army. ff they pass then they may move and fight as normal
next turn, Jf they fail however then they immediately go on to
Fall Back orders next turn. If a broken army is attacked then
they must fight out the baule they may not run for it until a
further 25% casualties have been inflicted on them.
Experience Points
At this point you may spend any EP's you have earnt from
your battles on your armies to make them better. The
experience rules are in the next copy of the Citadel Journal
and will be covered in detail. If you have issue 11 then you
can spend your BP's now.
HQ bases
A HQ base has the following special rules. Any broken army
which reaches its HQ base is immediately rallied and may
move out again next tum as normal. Any army at its HQ base
may buy extra weapons and equipment at half points cost in
EP's. Wargcar cards can be bought at full points cost in EP's
at a HQ base.
Splitting Armies up and Joining them together
During the End Phase you may split an army up into a smaller
detachment. For example you may want co detach a fast
vehicle to scout out the enemy ahead of you, or you may pick
up an army which bas few survivors left. You may also join
some models into a larger army for example a 40K army
which has few survivors left joins another for protection.
Firstly the two armies must be in the same square when they
split or join and they can move as usual next turn so give them
separate orders.
When splitting an army up just cake another pin for the split
off army, write an army list for them and remove them from
the original one. When joining armies together remove the
old pin, delete the old army list and add them to your new
army List. A split off army starts with no Eperience Points but
an army which joins another may add their EP's to the total
score for that army.
Sometimes when joining or splitting an army you will find
that they do not meet with the limits and specifications of the
army lists. The only restriction with doing this is that they arc
not split down lower than the number of troops on an Epic
base, which is usually five. For example you cannot have less
than 5 Space Marines split a.part. The only way they could be
split up to anything less is if someone from the squad dies in
battle. Other than this there are no other limitations on
splitting armies up or joining them together.
Army Rating
If there have been any changes to your army lists then you will
need to recalculate your army rating. Use the table under the
choosing armies section to recalculate the army rating.
Remember that an army with an army rating of 15 or less and
can be represented on a tabletop using 40K miniatures and
rules, is a 40K army.
After all of the wounded have been rolled for and all
amendments are made to army lists the End phase is over
which means the start of a new turn. Any armies that were
completely destroyed during the turn are removed from the
board and then play is ready to begin at the start of next turn.
Well that is the end of this first part of the Mega Wars article.
We hoped you all liked it. However, if you have a problem
with any of these rules then send us a letter. Constructive
criticism is welcomed and we may make some changes due to
some of your comments. Any amendments will be included
with the second part of this article in two months time. See

 EPIC CHARACTERS AND TROOPS
By James Funnell
"Gigantic war machines clash in epic conflict", or so it says on the box. In the shadow of Titans and the foot
print of the mighty Ork Gargants lurk infantry, countless unsung champions and a few mighty heroes can be
found on every battlefield and here I present to you a few of the most feared troops and deadly individuals
with which you can conquer your enemies.

Over the next few pages you will find a selection of Imperial Guard, Space Marine and Eldar characters, I have included brief
modelling and painting suggestions with each set of rules. I have also included army cards for all of the new Characters and squads,
to make these all you have to do is photocopy the page (if we hear that any one has been cutting up their luvly Journal we shall be
paying them a visit and introducing them to "Gavin" our pet Face Eater Squig), Cut out the Anny card and stick the two halves
together. Simple eh.
The following are some photos to give you an idea what your models should look like.

Eldar Warp Spiders

Imperial Confessor
 WARP SPIDERS
ELDAR WARP SPIDER ASPECT WARRIORS
The Eldar have many Warrior aspects, some of which are unique to specific
Craftworlds, but most are common to all .
Each warrior Aspect on a Craftworld is represented by a shrine. within these
shrines the aspect warriors are trained in the lore of combat. Their minds and
bodies are honed with endless exercise, both physical and spiritual, until they
become suffused with the aspect of Kaela Mensha Khaine that their shrine
represents.
The Warp Spiders take their name from the tiny creatures which may be seen
within the dome of crystal seers amongst the wraithbone trees. These minute
sparkling creatures can move anywhere within the Craftworld by means of the
wraithbone core and aggressively hunt down intrusive psychic forces. They are
attracted in vast numbers to the presence of any invasive psychic entities and act
much like the white blood cells in the human body which hunt down and
neutralise foreign bacteria.
The Warp Spider Aspect warriors epitomise the doctrine of aggressive defence.
Their armour contains a compact warp- generator enabling the warriors to make
short warp-jumps, disappearing and reappearing some distance away. This
enables them co make sudden and totally unexpected attacks upon their foes,

 LEGION OF THE DAMNED
LEGION OF THE DAMNED SPACE MARINES
Toe Legion of the Damned is a mysterious and unexplained occurrence. In times
of great adversity the legion will come to the aid of Space Marines in battle,
turning defeat into victory, and even protecting the lmperium from some terrible
catastrophe. Afterward the Legion vanishes in to thin air, leaving no trace of their
presence or clues as to their origin.

their brother Space Marines are in dire trouble. To represent this a Single unit
from the Legion of the Damned counts as a special card. You can include one
special card in your army for every company card.
The Legion of the Damned do not deploy with the rest of your army at the
beginning of the game. Instead they will appear to reinforce a Space Marine unit
that is in trouble.
The Space Marine player must keep a note of which Space Marine unit the enemy
broke first (if the unit is compleatly wiped out by the end of the turn then ignore
them). The Legion of the Damned will appear in that turns end phase, place the
detachment anywhere within 25cm of the Space Marine unit that broke, the
Legion of the Damned can now be given orders like any other unit from the next
tum onwards.
Note that if no Space Marine unit Breaks during the game then the Legion of the
Damned will not appear.
The Legion of the Damned are fearless and stalwart warriors and may therefore
ignore any morale based tests lhat they would normally have to take, at the same
time their mysterious nature and the fearsomely chilling battle dress that they wear
causes fear in their foes. Any enemy that are charged by the Legion of the Damned
must make a morale test or immediately go on to fall back orders.

 IMPERIAL GUARD COLONEL
IMPERIAL GUARD COLONEL
An Imperial Guard Colonel is in charge of an entire regiment, together with
other senior officers and his personal bodyguard he forms the Regimental HQ
and during a battle they are often found inside a massive Leviathan mobile
command centre, from where they can effectively command an entire army.
However sometimes situations arise when troops need to be lead personaly,
Leviathans are large and cumbersome, providing an excellent target for the MODELLING THE

CONFESSOR
To make the Confessor model take a
Commissar model and trim down its
peaked cap so that it looks more like a
cowl. Then cm of the Iaspistol from the
Commissar model and replace it with a
small square piece of cardboard to
represent a book.
'.\lo\\ you have the Confessor modelled
place him on an infantry stand along
with an Imperial guard standard bearer
and three other models,
Paint the Confessor predominantly black
while the other troops on the stand
should be the same colour as the rest of
your Imperial guardsmen.
IMPERIAL CONFESSOR
Confessors are roaming zeolots, devotees who have come so close to the
Emperor's divinity that they are no longer wholly sane. They are messianic
figures whose words can stir human emotions and touch the very soul. A
Confessor can lead men cheering into certain death, or turn their darkest despair
into wild joy.
Confessors are especially zealous Preachers who have been offered
confessorship by their Cardinals, they are not in charge of any shrine but are
free to wander about within and preach amongst the population. They are
supreme architects of mass emotion. Under the spell of a Confessor, huge
crowds will rush forwards to divulge their personal heresies and betray their
neighbours.
The Confessor is a command unit and can therefore charge and first fire. During
the game a Confessor will join one of your infantry detachments and lead it, he
may not leave the detachment during the game.
Although the Confessor leads the detachment he may not give it orders,
however if the detachment is unable to be given orders they will automatically
be given charge orders if they are lead by a Confessor and will charge at full
movement towards the closest enemy.
Any unit that is lead by a Confessor becomes utterly fearless and the Confessors
rantings drive them into a killing frenzy, as a result of this troops that are lead by
a confessor never need to take a morale test for any reason and their CAF is
increased by + I for the rest of the game.
Because the Confessor joins a detachment he does not have his own break or

EPIC AND 40K CAMPAIGN SYSTEM
By the Journal Team
This is the second part of the Mega Wars campaign system
which we began in the last issue of the Citadel Journal, which
by all accounts everyone enjoyed. In the first article we
covered the basic rules such as choosing armies, deployment,
the turn sequence and rules themselves. In this article we
intend to cover advanced parts of the game such as
fortifications, missions, experience, multi player campaigns
and a whole host of campaign scenarios for you to play.
At the end of this article are a few points which we feel needed
clarifying. There are also a few hints and tips on how to plan
your strategies and your cunning plans. Again this article is
jam packed with new ideas and wild creations so without
further gibberish, on with the madness.

BARRAGES
Some weapons are powerful enough to fire over long
distances at targets which are not visible and too far away for
conventional weaponry to hit. This is called a barrage and can
damage your enemy without your army engaging them
directly in combat. Vehicles such as Basilisks make ideal
barrage weapons for firing at armies a long distance off.
To fire a barrage an army must be given the new Hold and
Barrage order below:
HOLD AND BARRAGE: The army hold their position and
fire a barrage at an enemy army within range. Give the grid
reference of the barrages target. The army is not prepared for
battle and will be surprised if attacked this turn.
Armies which are on Hold and Barrage orders may fire a
barrage at a grid reference within range during the Battle
Phase. There are two types of Barrages. The standard barrage
and the Deathstrike barrage missile. Follow the rules below
for each army on hold and barrage orders.
A soldiers faith must always be
in his commander:
But a commander has nobody to put his
faith in but the Emperor:
Famous litany
"Incoming!"
Weapons which have any number of barrage points and a
range of over 99 cm in Epic can fire a Barrage up to 2 squares
away from their present grid reference. There arc a huge
variety of these weapons and all of them may fire when on
Hold and Barrage orders. Roll for each such weapon in the
army individually to see whether it has bit, see the Barrage
Table below to see whether you have hit or not. These
represent the shots actually landing upon the army and you
will still have to roll for barrage points (see below). If there is
more than one army pin in the target square then roll randomly
to discover which one is hit. Tt is possible to hit friendly
armies in a square which is attacked by a barrage.
BARRAGE TABLE
1-3 Your barrage has missed.
4-6 One randomly determined unit is hit by
the barrage.
Damage
When you have determined the hits scored upon the army roll
randomly for the army's units and vehicles to discover what
the barrage has hit. Imagine the barrage template has struck 3
troop stands or a single vehicle or a single super heavy or a
single Titan. Next you need to roll to cause damage to the
targets using the barrage points system. Use the normal Epic
rules to determine the damage caused. Damage will be
repaired automatically in the End Phase so only destroyed
targets and casualties need be written down. The casualties
are all retrieved so just make the roll to see whether troop
stands survive or not.

Deathstrike Barrage Missile
A Deathstrike Barrage Missile is a long range cruise missile
which is guided by a computer to its target. Deathstrikcs are
too valuable a weapon to throw away on a desperate hope that
it will hit something. So a Deathstrike may only fire at an
army which has been scouted out by one of your scouting
forces. A Deathstrike may be fired at up to a 4 square range.
You may choose which target in the army to hit (Titans,
buildings or whatever). Select your target and roll a 06 and
then consult the chart below. Apply damage as normal Epic
rules dictate, you may use any type of missile you want.
DEATHSTRIKE BARRAGE
MISSILE TABLE
1-2 Your missile is faulty and misses the target.
3-6 Your missile is guided perfectly and hits the
target.
STRATEGY CARDS
Each 40K army with a commander takes one Strategy Card at
the beginning of the campaign. If the commander is killed
then the army loses the card. When using strategy cards take
the card and write it down on the army list, then put the card
back in the pack. Different armies can end up with the same
card but it may not appear more than 3 times in the whole
campaign army. When choosing new strategy cards remove
any that an army has already so that they cannot have the same
card twice.
When you split an army into smaller divisions you may end up
with a commander that was originally in an Epic army being
MEGA WARS
in a 40K army. If this happens then take a random Strategy
Card for him and write il down. If there are two commanders
in the same army then only one may be overall commander
and only his strategy cards may be used. lf this commander is
killed the other may take over but he cannot use his strategy
cards in the same battle as his superior officer was killed in.
Tyranids and Strategy
Tyranids do not use strategy cards but use the Events tables in
Codex: Tyranids. With any "They're all around us" and "Low
on Fuel" results which come up then check the campaign map.
If there are any Tyranid army pins between the battle and the
non-Tyranid player's side of the board then the result stands,
but if not then ignore the result.
FORTIFICATIONS
During a campaign one of the most exciting things is when an
army lays siege to a town or city which bas fortifications such
as huge wal Is and defence towers. One of the biggest
defending advantages is fortifications. Huge forts, castles and
protected towns mean big problems for auacking players.
Use the "Storm the Breach" rules by Gavin Thorpe in Citadel
Journal 2. All of the points values are in Epic and come out of
the points allowance that the rest of the army comes from.
FORTIFICATIONS LIST
Wall Section Free (see below)
Standard Building Free

Power Station Free
Temple Free
Bridges Free
Watch Tower 50 Pts
Emplacement 150 Pts
Razorwirc 150 Pts
Bunker 150 Pts
Stronghold 150 Pt5
Fortifications in games
All games which involve fortifications will be fought in Epic
because WH40K cannot fully encompass the scale of the
massive walls and buildings which protect a town or city. An
army in a town which is surrounded by walls (See Below)
will not flee even if they are outnumbered. They may of
course withdraw as usual. When the army ratings are
compared add a point to the defender's army rating for every
100 points or part thereof, spent on that wall or side of the
town. This is because the attacker may flee from the battle
due to being outnumbered.
Marking Fortifications on the map
It is imponant that fortifications are written down correctly to
ensure accuracy. The following rules should be followed to
make certain this is so.
 MEGA WARS
Town Walls
Town walls are huge slabs of Adamantium and concrete
which offer lots of protection for defending troops. Roll
randomly to discover which towns have walls. Roll a dice for
each town on your map and on a roll of 4 or more the town
will have walls to protect it. List which towns have walls or
mark them on the map. Each side of the town walls will have
gates in them, gates are the weakest part of the walls and need
heavy protection.
Watch Towers may be positioned in the comers of town walls
so that they cover two walls at once. Tf you choose this option
write this down as well. If a battle is fought over a town with
watch Towers at the comers they must be positioned as such
on the table.

Other defences
For each town mark down which defences are on which side
of the town. They will either be the North, East, South or
West facing sides. This will become important when enemy
forces attack the towns. Any armies may start inside a town
and will be hidden which means they are not placed on the
map. Note down any armies hidden inside the towns with
their defences. The defenders can react to any attack on
whichever side of the town is attacked. Any armies hidden in
towns will be revealed if there is a random event which will
effect them, if they move out of the town or if they attack
someone, with a barrage for example.

Assaulting towns
Assaulting towns is great fun and can really enhance your
battles. When armies assault towns then whichever direction
the army came from on the map is the direction they assault
the town from. If they come from a diagonal then the attacker
can choose which side of the town is attacked. Th.is must be
written in the armies orders. For Example: Battle Ready to 13
I 26, assault the West wall.
Scouting towns is essential before a major assault can be
attempted. Firstly when Scouts move into the town's square
the defending player will declare if there is an army protecting
the town. If there is no army in the square then the scouts
simply take over the town, it is assumed to be abandoned as
the people in the town leave for safer places. If there is an
army there to Scout then make a scouting roll but the Scouts
will be surprised. If the result is a 4+ then the scouts discover
all of the defences on the side of the town they are coming
from. lf the scouts survive then the scouts move to a safe
position by moving 1 square back on the map. Again the side
of the town being scouted must be written in the scouting
orders. For example: Scouting to 11 38, scout the North wall.
Multiple assaults on towns
Sometimes a town may be assaulted by two or more armies
from different directions. In this case the defenders may
choose which side to defend and may split the force as
required. The best way to work out such a battle is to get a
huge playing area, lay the town out in the middle and, if you
have the miniatures, fight the battle. Other ways that you
could play such a massive game would be to have two
separate tables or fight the games separately. The choice is
yours my fellow gamers. With any of these possibilities the
defenders will be hard stretched if attacked from several
different directions. You wilJ need to use a lot of common
sense with complicated games such as this and lots of
miniatures may be a help tooll

The City
The Main city always has walls. A city is 3 squares by 3
squares in size. There are four gates in the city which will be
in the middle square of each wall. All of the defences must be
written down in terms of which square they are in and which
direction they face in. Armies may deploy hidden inside the
city. They can move around the city freely because it is
assumed that there are turbocars and monorails and various
other transports. Armies deployed in the city must have the
square they are in written down. If they move around the city
then write down the order and move them to a new square. Do
not tell your opponent about this move, just write it down.
Assaulting the City
When armies assault the city they will be attacking the section
of the city adjacent to the square they are in. If this is a comer
square then they can choose which side of the wall Lo attack.
Fight a battle against the defences at this square. Whether
there are weapons, towers or armies, or not, they will still have
to attack the walls.
When the city is attacked the defender will raise the alarm.
This means that defending forces may leave their posts if they
are not also being attacked and rush to help the beleaguered
defenders. Only one other army in an adjacent square may act
as reinforcements. They will take 03 turns before arriving to
help their comrades. You must decide whether to raise the
alarm and send for reinforcements after the enemy attacked
but before army ratings are revealed for outnumbering
purposes.

EXPERIENCE
The benefit of experience is essential during a campaign. It
allows your troops to progress through their careers and
become better troops. After each battle you will need to keep
a record of bow many victory points you have scored. These
are converted into Experience Points (EP's) and may be used
by the army that scored them. EP's may be spent on any
models which survived the battle. lf the whole army is
destroyed then the EP's are lost. Characters may not have any
EP's spent on them, except by talcing strategy cards. Any 40K
army may buy extra strategy cards at 10 EP's each. Tyranids
may buy rerolls for their special event tables at IO EP's each.
How you can spend your EP's will depend greatly upon which
army you have. Look at the table on the following page for
your army to find the benefits experience will bring to you.
The cost in EP's is beside each ability. Keep a record of how
many EP's each army has earnt and spent because it is also
used to check whether you outnumber your opponent or not
(See Reputation below). The table below shows the Imperial
Guard veteran abilities for use in Epic games. The costs are

MEGA WARS
Reputation
A reputation is earnt through winning famous battles and
becoming feared throughout the ranks of the enemy armies.
AD army's reputation can precede it and make the enemy
decide not to face such a tough opponent.
In a Mega Wars campaign to represent an army's reputation
we use the Experience Points that the army have accumulated.
There is no need to add anything extra onto your army rating,
instead when checking the Outnumbering chart add on each
armies total number of experience points divided by 10.
MULTI PLAYER CAMPAIGNS
A multi player campaign with several different armies
involved can be a tricky game to play. But if players work
through the problems that occur with common sense and
follow the simple guidelines below you will find that multi
player campaigns are brilliant fun.
The tum sequence progresses in exactly the same way as it
does in a two player campaign. When rolling for initiative all
three players roll dice, so it is more likely that there will be a
random event. lf a random event does occur then whichever
player did not throw a double counts as winning the initiative.
The players who threw doubles need to reroll until their
initiative order has been determined. Once this has been
achieved then it is on to the movement phase in which the
players take it in turn to move an army. During the battle
phase the player who won the initiative chooses to fight a
battle and then the second player chooses to fight a battle and
so on. So as you can see the tum progress' in very much the
same way a'l it does in a two player campaign.
Encounters with three different armies
The first thing that must be checked is the encounter table.
The first two army pins will have their encounter resolved
first. If this is a scouting or fleeing result then resolve this
normally. If the result is to fight a battle then any further
armies will join the battle. 1f the third army which moves into
the square is on scouting orders then they will scout both
armies. There will be a -2 modifier if both armies cause
surprise upon the scouts.
Tf there is going to be a three way battle then you will need to
work out army ratings. Compare each to each other. If they
are all FB (fight battle results), then the battle will go ahead as
the rules below indicate. If any of them are OUT results it
means they are outnumbered and will flee. If this leaves two
armies in the square then fight the battle normally. If there is
one army left in the square then there is no battle to fight in the
battle phase.
Fighting three way battles
The order that the armies arrived in the square, is the order
that they are set up in. You will need to remember which

up opposite them. If they came on to the left or right of player
1 then set them up there as the rules below indicate. Finally
the last player is set up in a relevant position to where he came
on.
Deployment zones should be assumed to be half the width of
the battlefield. If your table is 4' across then deployment
zones will be 24" long and 12'" in for 40K. Or 80 cm long and
21 cm in for Epic battles. This means that deployment zones
in three way battles are drastically reduced.
In this example three different
armies move into the same square.
The army represented by the black
arrow at the top is an Imperial
Guard 40K army. The black arrow
at the bottom represents an Epic
sized Space Manne army.
The arm) stuck in the middle is an Epic
Eldar army. The battle will be fought using
Epic miniatures and will be set up as
similar as possible to the relative directions
of approach as the above diagram shows.
If one of the armies comes on behind another army then move
the first army that was along this side to the opposite side of
the table provided there is no other army there. If there is an
army opposite then the army that has the other army behind it
sets up in the middle of the table and is going to gel
sandwiched. Set up the army in the middle in the usual order
of deployment using a 6" or l O cm deep area in the middle of
the table as the deployment zone, the sides of which arc the
usual length.
Make a strategy or initiative roll to see who moves first, but
only add surprise modifiers to the army which moves on
behind the other army. Reserves may be used as normal
except for the army in the middle which must set them up
when they deploy. Any models which cannot be represented
on the table by the army in the middle are destroyed by the
enemy.
MISSIONS
Missions are small side objectives to the main campaign
objective which can gain an army more victory points. They
also serve a useful purpose in the campaign by giving players
something extra to aim for. At the beginning of the campaign
roll 206 for each army and check the missions table (Right) to
discover which mission the army must undertake. The table
MEGA WARS
tells you when the mission is over and the army must get a
new one. This rolJ is made during the End phase after the
completion of the old mission. Any armies which are split off
from an army on a mission can choose to remain on the same
mission or rolJ for a new one, as the player chooses.

1 GUERRILLA WAR: Your campaign takes
place on a Deathworld where deadly creatures
and voracious plants wait to kill you if your
enemies don't.

local Planetary Governor with their raids and he
calls in his army for some pay back.
up some good ideas which will suit your own particular
armies just as well. If you write any good campaign scenarios
then send them in.
We have included a list of five standard campaigns plus six
special campaigns which largely relate to specific armies. On
page 14 there is a list of sub-plots that you may want to use
during the campaign. We wrote the sub-plots to add greater
depth and fun to the campaigns. For example the religious
madman sub-plot is very funny (Have a read if you don't
believe us). Again these are entirely optional and you do not
have to use them at all if you do not want to.

3 REBELLION: A planetary Governor has
turned rebel and the Space Marines have been
sent to deal with him.
4 WAR OF A ITRITION: Two ancient enemies
are ernbauled in a long and desperate War of
Attrition which must end soon.
5 RECOVERY: Ancient artefacts of great use to
the Techno MagYS of Mars have been
discovered and the armies must recover them.
6 SPECIAL CAMPAIG:I\: See page 12.
You may choose to fight a specific campaign from the list
below or you can roll a 06 and check with the Campaign List
to see which campaign you will be fighting. If you get a
special campaign result then roJl a further D6 and consult the
Special campaign list on page 12.
Guerrilla War
The Deathworld of Catachan is one example of a deadly
planet full of voracious creatures and man-eating plants.
During a campaign on a Deathworld your armies are likely to
get attacked by monstrous creatures and you must fight them
off or die hideously. The terrors of the jungle will constantly
be trying to get al your men and drive them off the planet.

CAMPAIGN SCENARIOS
Scenarios can make a campaign more in depth and interesting.
Sometimes you may be fighting your campaign on a
Deathworld or perhaps a rebellion is in order. Or on very rare
occasions a force may be fighting on a Deathworld.
These campaign scenarios are entirely optional. You should
feel free to write your own scenarios and create new ideas.
You might even like some of the ideas here but hate the rules.
In this case write your own, I'm sure you will be able to think
Deploy as normal and the campaign objective is still to kill
your enemies HQ as normal. When you roll for initiative
there will automatically be a Deathworld event. Each player
will have the Deathworld event for the number they threw for
initiative. This is in addition to any random events for
throwing doubles (on the rcrolling of doubles there will not be
another Deathworld event). Check the table below for your
Deathworld event. With each event roll for a random grid
reference and the closest of your army pins will be effected by
the event as described below.

 MEGA WARS
Vengeance
Tn this campaign vengeance and revenge is the name of the
game. The campaign map should have several towns marked
on it. The towns are where the Pirates hideouts will be. The
pirates may have D6 +2 hideouts. AJJ of these hideout come
with walls and any of the pirates may hide in these towns if
they choose to.
The pirates can be of these races, Orks, Eldar, Squats, Humans
(Use Imperial Guard) or Chaos. Space Marines and Tyranids
cannot be pirates. As pirates however these armies cannot use
the following troops or characters:
Avatar, any special characters (except Kaptin Flash Git
Badruk), Space Marine allies.
The army after vengeance can be of any race but we suggest
Space Marines or Imperial Guard as the most Likely. The
campaign objective is to kill the enemy HQ as per usual and
the attackers deploy as normal.

Rebellion
One of the armies is always Imperial Guard and the other
Space Marines. The campaign objective is to kill the enemy
HQ army. The rebel Imperial Guard can deploy his forces in
towns on the map and the Space Marines deploy as normal. In
addition the Imperial Guard will have a city at the opposite
side of the board to where the marines deploy. This city is 3
squares by 3 squares and the square in the centre is where the
HQ base will be.

War of Attrition
Divide the map in two. splitting the number of towns cquaJJy.
Each player rolls a dice and the highest may choose which
side to take as his land. The lower takes the remaining half as
his territory. Choose armies and each player may deploy
anywhere on his land including inside towns. The objective of
this campaign is to capture as many towns off your enemy as
possible. Fight the campaign until either one side is totalJy
annihallated or one sides HQ base is taken out. When one
side's HQ Base is destroyed add up the number of towns in
each players possession and the winner is the one with the
most towns.
Recovery
Many strange ancient artefacts have been discovered and must
be recovered. You may use any armies you want in this
campaign. On this planet there will be D6+4 empty and
useless towns. The towns may contain an artefact. Deploy
and play the game as normal but the campaign objective is to
find more artefacts than your opponent. The game ends when
either sides' HQ is taken out. Add up the number of artefacts
found at that point and the winner is the player with the most
of them. Add on I if you took out the enemies HQ base.
lo every town that you come across you may spend your
Battle Phase searching for artefacts. Obviously this cannot be
done when there is an enemy army to fight but only if the town
has just your army in it. Roll a D6 and consult the artefact
table below to discover whether you find an artefact or not.
An army may only search each town once.
Artefacts may be stolen from an army by completely
destroying it. The artefact will always be stolen if the army is
destroyed, you cannot claim the artefact was with your
reserves.

6 HIVE WORLD: A Hive World is a planet of
buildings and spires which is densely populated
\.\ ith people and gangs of youths. Ash wastes
which comain wild outlaws. This will be a
harsh campaign.
SPECIAL CAMPAIGNS
Most of these special campaigns involve specific armies. You
may decide that you do not want to play one of these because
nobody you regularly play games with may have this army.
This is perfectly alright, its your campaign after all.
Hive Fleet
The Tyranids objective is to cleanse the whole planet of life.
The campaign objective is to kill every enemy to the last man.
Tyranids set up totally differently compared to any other
army. You may choose how many of your armies are dropped
from space in huge Mycetic Spores and the remainder will
move onto the map from distant parts of the planet.
To determine the location of the Mycetie Spores roll for a
random grid reference for every spore which is being dropped.
Jf they drop in a city or on an army then they immediately
surprise any forces there and will fight a battle in the next
battle phase. Neither army is given orders they are both
assumed to be Battle Ready but tbe Tyranids will surprise
them. Hydras, fortifications and Titan mounted weapons with
a range of 75 cm or more may fire at Mycetic Spores. The
Spore has 2+ save on 206 and has three wounds. If the spore
is destroyed you lose the army that it was carrying.
Any Spores which drop on the same location start together
and may split off after the initial drop. Unlike usual Mycetic
Spores these huge Spores drop in such a way as to prevent the
troops from being harmed but completely destroying the
Spores on impact. Place the relevant army pins in tile map as
they come on.
Tyranid armies which move onto the board from outside the
map are placed on any square along the top or bottom sides of
the board at the beginning of the tum they arrive o.n before
orders arc written. They must be placed IO squares from left
and right edges but only 1 square in.
The Tyranid opponent may be of any race and will deploy in
any towns or fortifications on tile map. He can also deploy in
either deployment zones at the left and right edges of the map.
His objective is to destroy all of the Tyranid invaders and
purify his homeland.
Waaaghh!
An Ork waaaghh has built up and must be stopped. There are
two armies in this campaign, the Orks and the Imperial Guard.
This is an Imperial Guard homeworld so any towns that are
there can be used by the Imperial Guard to hide i.n at the
beginning of the campaign. The Orks must deploy as normal
and their objective is to kill Ghazghkull Thraka the
commander of the Ork Waaaghb ! The Orks objective is to kill
the Imperial Guards, Commissar Yarrick (Yes folks, its
Armageddon again).
The Orks may blast the Imperial Guard armies with raw
W aaaghh power. This can be done once per tum at the end of
the Initiative Phase. A blast of raw power emerges from one
army selected by the Ork player and blasts one Imperial Guard
army of his choice within 4 squares. Roll a D6 and consult the
following table for tile Waaagbb blast.
WAAAGHH!BLASTTABLE
D6 Result of Waaaghh!
1-2 The army avoid the blast and may move as
normal.
3-4 The army is blasted and must move half
distance this turn.
5-6 The army is soaked in Waaaghh power and
cannot move at all.
If the army being targeted by the Waaaghh blast has a Psyker
then subtract -1 from this roll. An army which is blasted by
Waaaghh power and cannot move will go onto Ambush
orders.
Realm of Chaos
A small fracture between the universe and the warp has
allowed Chaos invaders to take a world and change it to a
realm of Chaos. The armies of Chaos have changed the land
around them into a horrible concoction that confuses the eye
and frightens men. Only Space Marines are strong enough to
endure such terror and have been sent to destroy tile planet's
occupants.
The Chaos forces may set up hidden in the cities and the Space
Marines deploy as normal. The objectives remain the same
and the game plays the same except that when a random event

has occurred something nasty happens to someone. Roll a 06
and consult the table below to discover what has happened.
This is in addition to any random events.
The Space Marines may have Grey Knight Terminators with
them to nullify any of the above effects. An army which has
any Grey Knights with them can nullify a Chaos event on the
D6 roll of 4 or more. Psykers may also attempt to nullify them
but will only succeed on the 06 roll of 5 or more.
Exodite World
An Eldar Exodite world sends a desperate message to the
nearby craftworld of Ulihwe, They are under attack from
Orks and forces from Ultbwe are quickly sent to help. Will
they arrive in time to prevent the Orks from killing them all?
The Orks set up in a normal deployment zone with all of their
forces. The Eldar may set up hidden in any towns but may not
have an Avatar or any Phoenix Lords set up on the Exodite
world because they will arrive with the forces from the
craftworld. At least 40% of the Eldar army must be from
Ulthwe and will arrive D3 days into the campaign.

When the Eldar from Ulthwe arrive they will Lum up on the
map edge directly opposite the Ork deployment zone. They
are placed during the End Phase on the row of squares next to
the map edge and can move as normal from the next turn
onwards. The campaign objective is to wipe out the enemy
HQ as in a normal game.
Squat Homeworld
A Squat Homeworld is a dark and desolate place and most of
it lies beneath the surface. For this campaign you will need
some floorplans such as those in Warhammcr Quest or the old
Dungeon floorplans. These will be used in underground
battles which are particularly deadly.
This campaign is for Squats and any other army you want to
use. Imperial Guard, Orks, Eldar, Chaos or Space Marines
would be more likely than Tyranids. The Squats set up as
below and the other army sets up in a normal deployment
zone.
You will need to mark the map with various fortresses and
cave entrances. Fortresses are walled towns basically . The
caves are fortresses in their own right but they cannot be seen
unless an army assaults them from underground. within the
cave system itself. Also one of these caves must be noted
down as being the Squat inventor's guild where the deadly
weapon is. The weapon cannot be used and when it falls into
enemy hands the Squats will lose the campaign.
The Squats can set up their forces in the fortresses above the
surface or in the caves beneath the surface. Their campaign
objective is to kill the enemy commander.
During an Underground battle place the floorplans out
between the pair of you to create a fair dungeon area to fight
the battle in. Only 40K armies can enter the caves. Vehicles
and Titans are just too big to fit inside. Play the battle using
normal 40K rules as best you can. The caves will be well lit so
there is no need to use the night rules when fighting
underground. An army can only enter or leave the caves
through the cave entrances. Both players will need lots of
common sense and initiative to play a campaign such as this
so I do not suggest you try this as your first campaign.

saving throw (In Epic) or will be destroyed.
Titans will be hit on the topmost location. roll
randomly to determine v. hich if mere are rwo
or more possible locations.
Hive World
A Hive World is densely populated in large hives of people.
These hives breed tough and hardy people, many of whom are
recruited by the Space Marines or Imperial Guard and many
more join gangs
Check out the new gang warfare game Nccromunda, you may
want to use a few rules or terrain pieces from this great game
in your campaign but this is entirely up to you, The terrain
pieces from Necromunda are dead good for 40K games.
Your campaign map should include hives instead of towns
and cities and will need lots of wide open spaces which would
be full of abandoned ruins, scorched and blackened ash wastes
and perhaps acid pools and rivers.
You can use any armies you want for this campaign although
Imperial Guard would be the most likely army to be there.
Use normal campaign deployment and game rules except
when a random event occurs then roll a further D6 and consult
the chart above to discover what happens.

square must fight the guardians. The guardians have an army
rating of 10 and if they have a greater army rating than the
army attacking them then they destroy them. If the army
attacking them is equal to or more then they may kill the
guardians and acquire 306 X l O points worth of 40K weapons
of their choice during the End Phase. A storehouse may only
be robbed once during the campaign.
Chaos Cult
When the first random event is rolled up then the Chaos cull
springs up and attacks someone. Roll for grid reference. The
closest non-Chaos army is jumped on by the Chaos cultists
and a battle ensues. Just compare Anny Ratings. The Chaos
cultists have an army rating of 12. If the Chaos cultists army
rating is equal to or higher than their opponents then they have
completely killed the army and then they disappear into the
surrounding territory. They will attack another army when the
next random event is rolled up. They will keep attacking
armies until they are defeated and killed by attacking an army
with a higher army rating than them.
Alien Artefacts
Whenever a town is occupied by an army for a whole tum
without moving then it may be searched for artefacts. Only a
40K army may search for artefacts and this is done by rolling
a D6 and on a 5 or 6 an artefact bas been discovered. Roll a
D6 and consult the Alien Artefact Table to discover what the
artefact is. On the result of 1-4 there is no artefact and the
town cannot be searched again by anyone.
Religious Madman
This has no effect on the campaign but is rather funny.
Mad Governor
The local planetary governor is mad and will delay any
Imperial forces by confusing them with bizarre orders. No
Imperial forces can move during the Morning phase of the
first turn. During this time an Inquisitor finds the governor
and kills him so that next turn the Imperial forces can move as
normal next turn.
MEGA WARS
News Crew
Roll for a random grid reference before deployment. This is
where the News crew will start, so put a pin with an N marked
on it in this square. They move at the end of the movement
phase after all other armies have moved towards the closest
army. They move 2 squares each tum and this cannot be
changed except by random events or terrain. If they reach
another army then they will film them and send the reports off
to the Adeptus on Earth. These transmissions are picked up
by au of the players. Treat as a Scouted result on the scouting
table, so the player reads out how many things he has got in
his army. The news crew will film both armies if they reach a
square where a battle is about to be fought and there is nothing
that anyone can do to stop them doing this, because they
automatically flee from an encounter if they get attacked.
Rogue Psyker
The rogue psyker has got an Imperial Guard support Platoon,
a Leman Russ squadron and an Imperial Guard Bike squad
under his command. This army bas an army rating of IO (the
rogue Psyker is one point). Roll for a random grid reference
before deployment. This is where the Psyker's army starts so
put a pin marked with a P into the map in this square. During
the movement phase after all other armies have moved the
Psykcr's private army will move towards the nearest army pin.
Like a normal Imperial Guard army it has a MA of I which
wil1 be doubled to advance if there is no army to engage in
battle. If they fight a battle then the player who is not attacked
will play the psyker's force. Fight the battle as you normally
would and keep a track of how many of the psyker's men have
been killed.

Orbiting Battlestation
A battlestation in orbit fires random barrages at the planet
each turn. Roll for a random grid reference at the end of the
Battle Phase and this is the square hit by the banlestations
barrage. The barrage will bit automatically if there is
something in the square and it has 6 barrage points with a -3
saving throw. Work this out as you normally would for a
barrage. If there is nothing in the square where the barrage
has hit then it misses completely.
Genestealer Cult
When a random event first takes place then the Genestealer
cult will attack a randomly determined town or city. The
Genestealer cult has an army rating of 12 and will attack any
army in the city at the Lime. Compare the army ratings and if
the Gcncstcaler cult has equal to or higher rating then they
destroy the army in the town. Do not count any fortifications
to the army rating because the Genestealers are attacking from
inside the town. If the Genestealers attack an army with a
higher army rating than themselves then they are destroyed,
otherwise they will attack another town every time there is a
random event until they are destroyed. lf there is no army in
the town they attack then they have no effect this time but will
attack next time there is a random event.
A Psyker may also increase his Mastery Level through
Experience. This is done by paying 25 EP' s per Mastery level
gained through experience. An optional rule that you may
want to play with is that you pick all of your psychic powers at
the beginning of the campaign and keep the same ones
throughout the entire campaign. We think that this makes
psykers in a campaign vastly more realistic.
CHARACTERS
A question which came up in your letters concerning Mega
Wars is how you buy special characters (and other troops
types as well) which cannot be bought using the Epic
company and detachment cards.
Allocate a separate points allowance for buying additional
weaponry. special characters and any other troop types that
cannot be bought using Epic cards but can be bought from the
Warhammer 40.000 points values. This can be any amount so
long as both players agree to the amount before choosing their
armies. If you are intending to buy lots of characters and
troop types we suggest that in an average campaign army of
50,000 points a 40K points allocation of 4,000 points should
be sufficient for your needs.
Another very good point about characters is that in Epic the
characters come in stands of 5 models. Obviously this would
not be the case in 40K where 5 Farseers are illegal in one
army. Fortunately a stand of characters in Epic is supposed to
represent a single character model of that type in Warhammer
40,000 with four bodyguards. So in the example above the
Farseer would infact be converted to a Farseer and four
Guardian models.

The Lost Titan Legion

Select a town near the middle of the map before deploying
your armies. This is where the lost Titan Legion are located.
The town cannot be used to deploy inside and cannot be given
any defences. When an army moves into the town then they
will discover the lost Titans, there are the following Titans.
1 Warlord
2Reavers
3 Warhounds
Only armies which can have these Titans in their armies may
use them (if your army can use the Titans then you are
assumed to have a few spare Titan crew for these). These
Titans may be used in the same army or split up as normal.
Any Titans which are not being used are destroyed so that the
enemy cannot use them at all.

PSYKERS
When you buy a Psyker from the Epic Special cards he is
assumed to be a level 2 Psyker in 40K. This level may be
increased at a points cost of 25 points per level. So a Chief
Librarian (level 4) would cost you 150 points (100 points for
the Librarian Special Card and 50 points to make him a level 4
Psyker). This rule may also be used to demote a Psyker to a
level L Psyker. Just simply take 25 points off your total army.
This change in the Psykers level will have no effect upon an
Epic battle but in a game of Warhammer 40,000 will be
essential for most armies. The points for the Psykers level
come from the total points value of the army not from the
separate 40K points allocation.

Special characters personalise a game of Epic or 40K
perfectly and can make a huge difference during the game.
But what about special characters from 40K in Epic games?
Gasp! What shall we do? All readers of the Citadel Journal
are intelligent and rational beings so it won't be a problem
thinking up some interesting rules for all the special characters
who are not in Epic. If you are lucky enough to have the early
Citadel Journals with rules such as Psykers (Issue 3), special
characters (Issue 5) and other such articles by Gavin Thorpe
then these are perfectly alright to use in a Mega Wars
campaign as are the rules in this issue by James Funnell.
PROBLEMS?
We have received a letter from Peter Cartwright who asks
about how splitting an army down into contingents works.
You can split down your company and detachment cards into
any amount provided that they are not split down lower than
the amount on an Epic base. For example you cannot split a
squad of Space Marines down to fewer than 5 models.
Many of you have found this leaves your break values stuffed
up, so you will have to work them out again for any
companies and detachments which have been split down. As
a rule of thumb the break value is half the amount of models or
stands of troops within the company or detachment. Round
down any odd numbers. Some companies do not follow this
rule of thumb because the reduced unit is more fragile. If you
decide to split a company like this down then they will be so
demoralised from not having their trusty comrades around that
their break value will drop to half their number like any other
unit. If you have not guessed it's best to keep companies like
this together.
Also when you split a company or detachment card down into
smaller amounts the Victory points should change. [f there is
a detachment card which fully covers a splic company then
you should use the detachments victory points for when the
split down unit is destroyed or broken. For example a
company of Shadowswords can be represented by three
detachment cards so should a single Shadowsword be sent off
with a different army then put the company card to one side
and use the break value and victory points from each
individual Shadowsword detachment card.
lf you do not have a detachment card which can be used then
you will have to divide the victory points down by the amount
which have left the detachment or company. Round up when
you have a fraction of a victory point. This is not too
complicated a procedure but keep your calculators handy for
those times when your brain just does not want to tell you
what the answer is.
THE JOURNAL'S CAMPAIGN
I know we promised to bring you a report on our campaign but
time has proved to be our enemy. With so much going on here
at the studio, Necromunda and dozens of other things which
MEGA WARS
have required testing in the lase few months we have not had
the time to complete our campaign and to tell you what
happened.
But J shall unveil what has happened so far. The campaign is
a Rebellion with a Multi player campaign option of Hive Fleet
and the Religious Madman Sub-plot. Gavin is the rebel
Imperial Guardsmen who holds the planet and James' Mentor
Legion Space Marines and a very large Titan Legion have
been sent to deal with the rebels. We decided that Phils
Tyranids would arrive 3 days into the campaign and use the
Hive Fleet special campaign rules for deploying.
Several skirmishes were fought between rebel guardsmen on
bikes and landspeeders against Space Marine forces which
were won quickly by the Space Marines. A large battle was
looming as the ponderously slow Titan Legions moved in on a
heavily defended town.
But then the Tyranids arrived and quickly leapt upon a Space
Marine Land Raider force which had captured one of the
rebels towns and was using the massive Adarnantium walls as
protection. In a pitched battle the Tyranids beat against the
walls (taking massive casualties) until the Dorninatrixes
Psychic powers rocked the foundations and the walls came
crumbling down. The Space Marines fled and are seeking to
get as far away as possible from the ever deadly Bio Titans.
The current situation is unstable and anyone could win. The
Tyranids are closing on the city of Tnrandros and all the meat
things therein. The Mentor Legion have fought well against
both the rebels and the Tyranids with only minimal loses.
With all to play for the third week of the campaign draws
nigh. Can the rebels hold out much longer? We will just have
to wait and see.
HINTS AND TIPS ON PLAYING A
MEGA WARS CAMPAIGN
Playing a Mega Wars campaign takes a lot of effort on the
players part but is well worth it because a campaign is so
much fun. On occasions you will have to rework the rules we
have written to fit in with any of your own House Rules or
certain special models which are in your army, or maybe you
will find a situation or event that we did not think of.
Whatever, you need a lot of initiative to play a Mega Wars
campaign.
Unlike most games where you might only use one very good
tactic in a Mega Wars campaign you will need lots of different
tactics otherwise your enemy will easily work out a way to
beat you. Vary the forces you use and your tactics to make
certain your plans cannot be guessed easily. Scouting is very
important. If you know where and what your enemy are then
you should be able to send the required army to take them on
but never be certain that great numbers will win the day.
Sound battle plans and a little bit of luck are essential.
If you arc having any problems with our Mega Wars
campaign system then do not hesitate to send us a letter with
your questions which we will do our best to answer.

 DREADNOUGHT ASSAULT
By Robert Maylcy
Just the other day we were all saying that the old Epic Dreadnought did not look very good and how we should
really do a new one, and then a bubble packed letter arrived with little plastic Epic Dreadnoughts inside.
What a coincidence we thought so we put them in the Journal. Everyone here at the studio thinks
they are just great and we hope you like them too.
WARNING: ONLY READ TIDS ATICLE IF YOU ARE INSANE!

Robert Mayley of Manchester had the third place Epic

battleforcc at Golden Demon which included a detachment of
Space Wolf Dreadnoughts just like the ones shown here. He
made the Dreadnoughts from the plastic sprues which your
Epic miniatures come on, you know the bit you always throw
away. Well you need to keep it now if you want to make these
Dreadnoughts.

A few months ago 1 decided that the brilliant and dead shoory
Space Marine Dreadnought from Warhammer 40,000 should
be remade for Epic. I chose to make my own miniatures for
these, because making your own models is good fun and gives
you a great sense of satisfaction when the model is finished.
The Dreadnought is a fiddly model to make, being made out
of 30 to 40 separate pieces. Herc is the list of pieces which
you win need to make your own Epic Dreadnought.
These are Robert's finished Dreadnoughts and don't they look
splendid. The Dreadnought on the left is a Space Wolf
Dreadnought with multi-melta and missile launcher. Then the
one in the middle is Bjorn the Fell Handed and the one on the
right is an Ultramarines Dreadnought with multi melta and
power fist, (it's amazing how many of you out there put
mushrooms on your bases -Ed).

The following three pages are stuffed to bursting point with
detailed drawings and explanations on the fiddly subject of
Stage 1
making your own Epic Dreadnought. I have included a couple
of pictures of the finished Dreadnoughts so that you can sec
which bits go where on the finished model.

Stage 1 /
The first thing to do is prepare the base by covering the boles. Man O' War mast sprue
This can be done with Milliput although the best way is to cut
the bottoms off 5 individual miniatures and glue these into the

holes.
Next take 2 of the cylindrical bits from between the masts of
the Man O' War sprue. Leave the pointy bit that connects to
the mast in place, this is the front toe. Carve a chunk off the
square bit on the back to make the rear toe as illustrated in the
diagram. When you have got these two pieces cut the upper
half off each to make them the correct height. These are the
basis for the Dreadnoughts lower legs.
呸 •<LLt
Stage 2
Put them to one side for now and cut the hips and upper legs
from the 'official' Dreadnought. Using this as a guide glue the
lower legs to the base at the correct width. Don't glue the
upper legs on yet.

Stage 3
Next cut the toes off 2 lmperial robots. This will give you the
remaining 4 toes for the Dreadnought. Glue one of these to
each side of both lower legs. This is the fiddliest bit l found
that if I wanted to avoid super-gluing my fingers to my model
it was best to use a pair of tweezers or hold the toe in the end
of a long thin piece of blue-tac while putting it in place.
Stage 4
Now to make the upper body. With a sharp knife cut down the
I centre of a Rhino, between the vision slits at the front. Cut
I

Epic Stage4 down the other side and across the top. The piece you've
Rhino taken out will form the Dreadnought sarcophagus. The
bottom needs to be trimmed at an angle as shown in the
diagram.
You also need to cut a wedge from a straight piece of sprue.
This needs to be the same width but not quite as high as the
sarcophagus. Once these are glued together they can be stuck
to the legs. The top of the Dreadnought is probably a bit
rough and uneven but this doesn't matter because now you
glue a small square of card onto the top. Take your carved-up
Rhino and carefully shave the multi-launcher from one side
and glue this into place on the top of the Dreadnought.

a small piece of card or carefully carved sprue underneath the
left shoulder to make the bits of machinery which can be seen
on the 40K model, although these bits are optional. Each
shoulder can now be glued onto the sides of the sarcophagus.

Dreadnought - The fighting machine
Dreadnoughts are enormous fighting machines over 3 meters
tall. They are the resting place of a Space Marine chapters
oldest and most revered warriors whose mortal bodies can no
longer sustain them. The Old ones as they arc called are
implanted inside the Dreadnought, their nervous system
attached to the computer system which controls the
Dreadnoughts actions. The Old one lives on inside the
Dreadnought fully able to continue his service to the Emperor
for many centuries to come. It is therefore always a time of
mourning for a chapter when they lose a Dreadnought. Not
only because of the death of the Old one and his ancient
memories which can stretch back to the dawn of the chapter.
but the loss of a Dreadnought is far more devastating because
the secrets of how to build these awesome fighting machines is
lost and can never be recovered.
DREADNOUGHT ASSAULT
Bjorn the Fell-Handed
Bjorn is the oldest Space Wolf warrior alive and has the
unique distinction of being alive when Russ led the chapter.
Over the mellenia he bas grown heavy with wisdom and today
be resides within the deepest shrine of the Space Wolves,
protected by a stasis chamber lined with adarnanrium. Only in
times of direst need is he awakened from ms slumber to stride
forth against the Emperor's foes once more.
Dreadnoughts in games of Epic
You will need to make four Dreadnoughts to be able to
include a detachment in your army. All four must be armed
with the same combination of 2 weapons chosen from the four
listed below. Try to bear this rule in mind when you are

ABOMINATUS - DESPOILER OF WORWS

In other respects, Abominarus moves, shoots and fights
close combat like an Imperial Emperor Class Titan. You
must generate plasma counters on 206 at the start of
each tum in order to power the Chaos Titans weapons,
engines and void shields. It should be noted that
Abominatus cannot carry Chaos troops and therefore
cannot be boarded by enemy troops.
THE MARK OF KHORNE
In Addition, Abominarus has special
rules of its own which reflect its
allegiance to Khorne, the Blood God. ABOMINATUS MOVEMENT
Furious Advance: The Titan must Engine Power
always move towards the enemy and
therefore a plasma counter must always Energised (green)
be placed in its engines. Aborninarus
always wanes co engage the enemy at Overcharge (red)
close quarters and this means its
movement much faster than an
Imperial Emperor Class Titan.
Instead of moving between Scm and 10cm on energised
(green plasma counters), Abominatus moves between
Scm and 15cm and can make up to 1 x 90° turn. For the
same reason instead of moving 10cm and 20cm when the
engines are Overcharged (red plasma counters),
Abominacus moves between 15cm and 30cm and can
make up to 1 x 45° tum. Note that plasma is always
diverted to the Engines in preference to Abominatus'
Fire Power. This means that when Abominarus' engines
are Overcharged the Titan's fire power cannot be
Overcharged as well.
Khorne's Shield: Abominatus is part Daemon and part
machine, and this makes it particularly resistant to
psychic attack. The Titan always receives a saving throw
of 2 + on a 06 against all psychic attacks.
Bloodrage of Kborne: The Chaos Titan's power
increases if the battle is going well for the armies of
Chaos. This success is judged by whoever has the most
victory points. If Chaos has the most Victory Points
during a turn Abominatus receives + 1 on itS to hit rolls,
+ l on its saving throws and rolls an extra D6 in dose
combat! lf "the victory point totals are equal or your
opponent has more points no extra benefits arc
received.
Min. Move Max. Move Restrictions
5cm 15cm max 1 x 90° turn
15cm 30cm max 1 x 45° turn
War Howl: As it stalks across the battlefield Aborninatus
growls menacingly and lees out a terrifying bellow of rage
and anguish. This is performed at the start of the tum
after orders are placed 'but before they are revealed. Any
enemy units that are within 15cm of Abominatus must
immediately pass a morale check or be placed on fall
back orders.
WEAPONS
Abominatus carries a veritable arsenal of weapons built
onto its body. Its main armament, the Hellstorrn Cannon
and Plasma Annihilator along with its main battery
function in an identical fashion to its imperial
counterpart. However the weapons on its main fighting
platform are quite different.

One of the most interesting things about creating your

own special model is inventing the rules for it. Even more
exciting is the first time you use this special model on the
table top. Here you can see Adrian and Chris, his long-
time opponent testing Abominatus' mettle for the first
time. Tbe monstrous machine proved itself to be a worthy
adversary for the Imperator Titan, smashing the Imperial
titan to the ground with multiple hits to the head. Abb,
Khorne was proud that day...

ABOMINATUS CHAOS TITAN WEAPONS

BLOOD CANNON
The Blood Cannon fires a Lava Template which has the
same dimensions as the flame template supplied in the
Titan Legions boxed set. To use this weapon place the
template so that the pointed end is couching the Blood
Cannon and the rounded end covers the intended
targets. Anything under the template is hit on a roll of 4,
5,or 6. Models hit suffer a -1 saving throw modifier.
Buildings can be destroyed by the Blood cannon, any
which are hit and fail their saving throw collapse and are
turned into rubble. The lava-like daemon blood flows
over and around cover so modifiers have no effect on the
blood cannon's to hit roll.

in close assaults. Up close this short-ranged but
devastating weapon literally scythes down the enemy in
a withering hail of fire. The Scorpion Cannon has a range
of 25cm and fires 6 attack dice hitting on a 5 + with no

Range Dice Roll Sv. Mod Notes
25cm 6 5+ 0 at least one other in the salvo.
MANGLERS
The Manglers are huge battle claws which can sweep
aside battle tanks and flay enemy Titans to twisted metal.
When Abominatus wins a combat with a Titan the
Manglers hit the chosen locations as many times as is the
difference between the two close combat scores,
ignoring shields and striking which ever locations you
choose. i.e. if Abominarus scores 31 on 206 plus its CAF,
and a Warlord scores 21, then Abominarus hits the
Warlord 10 times in whichever locations you wish.
HELLSTORM CANNON
The Hellstorm cannon is a huge gun with six rotating
barrels. Seen from a distance the barrels seem to turn at
an almost leisurely rate but the giant shells they spew out
quickly rend the target apart in storm of fiery explosions
and scything shrapnel Such is the weight of fire laid
down by the Hellstorm cannon that whole swathes of the
battlefield turn into an inferno of smoke and flames.
The Hellstorm cannon is often mounted in combination
with a Plasma Annihilator on Emperor class Titans. This
provides the Titan with a deadly area fire capability
combined with the point effect devastation of plasma
weaponry. Though the Hellstorm cannon has a limited
ammo supply it requires comparatively Little energy to
fire, a factor which has allowed Aborninatus to crush
many enemies despite having found itself starved of
power at Critical moments.
SPECIAL RULES
At the start of the game place ten am.mo counters on
Aborninarus' datacard for the Hellstorm cannon. The
Hellstorm cannon requires one green plasma counter to
fire and it cannot be overcharged. When you come to fire
the Hellstorm it ls capable of shooting up to four barrage
templates, each one with the profile shown below. Each
barrage template fired costs one ammo counter, so if
there aren't any ammo counters left the Hellstorm
cannot fire. All the barrages fired in one turn from the
Hellstorm must be placed so that each template touches
Other than this the barrages are fired using the normal
rules. Hellstorrn barrages may be fired indirectly. Jo this
case place the templates as above and then roll to scatter
each template separately.

assault troops at bay. On Abominatus bolters and heavy

PLASMA ANNIHILATOR
The Plasma Annihilator is amongst the deadliest
weapons fitted to a land-based fighting machine. It takes
raw, seething plasma directly from the Titan's reactor,
accelerates it through a series of electro-magnetic fields
and fires it as blinding, white bot bolts of destruction. As
well as a rapid rate of fire the Plasma Annihilator has
phenomenal range and accuracy. Indeed the high-
pitched whine of the Annihilator's electro-magnetic coils
building up for discharge has been known to send whole
enemy formations fleeing in terror before battle is even
joined. The only limitation on the Plasm.a Annihilator's
destructiveness is its requirement for plasma from the
reactor chamber. Abominatus rarely find itself in the
happy position of being able to fully charge the
Annihilator without seriously compromising power
supplies to the rest of the Titan.
