 Army Specific Rules
Ancient Grudge
Dwarven Holds armies have a number of Grudges which confer a bonus when attacking specific enemies. The total
number of Grudges held by a Dwarven Holds army is calculated in the following manner:
• One Grudge for a General with Ancestral Memory
• One Grudge for each King in the army
• Two Grudges for each War Throne in the army
Right before the battle (during step 7 of the Deployment Phase Sequence), you must choose a single unit from
the opponent’s Army List for each Grudge in your army (this may also be a Character). The models of this unit
are considered “marked”. All models in the Dwarven Holds army gain Hatred against marked models, and against
models joined to units with more than half of their models marked.

Hewn out of Mountains

The Casting Values of all spells cast by enemy models are increased by +1 as long as at least one friendly model from
a Dwarven Holds army is on the Battlefield.

Army Model Rules

Universal Rules
Ancestral Memory
A General with Ancestral Memory affects the number of Grudges held by a Dwarven Holds army (see Ancient Grudge
above).

Holdstone
One use only. May be activated at the start of any Round of Combat. Apply the following effects:
• Enemy units cannot claim Combat Score bonuses for fighting the Flank or the Rear of the unit.
• The unit cannot be Disrupted.
• Parry, Shield Wall, and Wall of Iron can be used in any Facing.
• For the purpose of Supporting Attacks, all Facings are considered to be the Front Facing (i.e. a model can
perform Supporting Attacks also to the Flanks and Rear).
• The unit cannot Pursue (nor Overrun).
The effects last until the unit is no longer Engaged in Combat.

Rune of Resonance
Bound Spell with Power Level (5/8). Range 12″, Type Augment, Duration Permanent.
Once per Magic Phase, a single unit with at least one model affected by the Rune of Resonance may be chosen as an
additional target of a Battle Rune that a friendly model is casting anywhere on the Battlefield (during step 1 of the
Casting Attempt), with the following restrictions:
• A unit cannot be chosen if it is already a target of the Battle Rune.
• All instances of the Rune of Resonance on a unit immediately end when a Battle Rune is successfully cast on
the unit.
• Characters that leave a Combined Unit are no longer affected by the Rune of Resonance.

The bigger they are…
When Charging a unit that contains at least one Large or Gigantic model, the model gains Swiftstride for the Charge
Range roll during the Charge Phase.

Personal Protections
Shield Wall
While using a Shield, the model gains Aegis (6+, against Close Combat Attacks). This is improved to Aegis (5+,
against Close Combat Attacks) if the attacker is Charging. This Special Save can only be used against attacks from
enemies Engaged in the model’s unit’s Front Facing.

Attack Attributes
Sturdy – Close Combat
The model gains Devastating Charge (+1 Str, +1 AP) and does not suffer from negative to-hit modifiers from a
Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction.

Yer comin’ with me! – Close Combat

In order to use this Attack Attribute, the unit must be at least as wide as it is deep at the start of the Round of Combat.
Close Combat Attacks made by models with this Attack Attribute can never wound on worse than 4+. In addition,
when a model with this Attack Attribute is removed as a casualty during the Melee Phase due to an enemy Melee
Attack, it must immediately, before removal, perform a single Close Combat Attack with the following rules and
restrictions:
• The attack is always resolved with Strength 5 and Armour Penetration 2.
• The owner must choose one of the following options:
1. The attack is allocated towards the model that caused the casualty.
2. The attack is allocated towards a R&F model in that model’s unit. The hit is distributed onto the unit.
In either case, the model with Yer comin’ with me! is considered in base contact with the attacked model, and
the models count as Engaged in the same Facings as their units.
• This Attack Attribute cannot be used for casualties caused by Impact Hits.

Armoury
Forge Repeater – Shooting Weapon
Range 18″, Shots 4, Str 5, AP 2, Flaming Attacks, Quick to Fire.

Guild-Crafted Handgun – Shooting Weapon

Range 24″, Shots 1, Str 4, AP 2, Accurate, Unwieldy.

 Runic Special Items
Dwarven Holds armies cannot pick from the list of Common Special Items except Common Banner Enchantments.

Special Items, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Runic Weapon Enchantments

Runic Weapon Enchantments follow the rules for Weapon Enchantments with the following differences:
• All Runic Weapon Enchantments are enchantments for Hand Weapons and Paired Weapons.
• Up to 3 Runic Weapon Enchantments can be applied to a single weapon.

Shield Wall Aegis Save (including Shield Wall stacked
with Rune of Shielding), the attacking model suffers
a hit with the Strength and Armour Penetration of
the saved attack. This is considered a Special Attack.

Runic Banner Enchantments

Dwarven Holds armies may use Banner Enchantments from the list of Common Banner Enchantments as well as
the Runic Banner Enchantments listed below, so any Standard Bearer that may take a Runic Banner Enchantment
may take a Banner Enchantment instead. A Battle Standard Bearer may take up to two Banner Enchantments or up
to two Runic Banner Enchantments or a combination of a single Banner Enchantment and a single Runic Banner
Enchantment.
