Selection Rules
Champion
In combat, a champion that is within the fighting rank fights as normal. Enemy models that are in
base contact with a champion can direct attacks against that champion if they wish. Champions
can issue and accept challenges in the same manner as a character.
Musician
“Onwards To Victory!” If, once the combat result has been calculated, both sides have the exact
same number of points each, the side that has a musician in the front rank of one or more of its
units may claim a bonus of +1 combat result point.

If, however, the opposing side has a musician also, the redoubled efforts (and almighty clamour)
cancel each other out and neither side may claim this bonus.

Steadying Rhythm If a fleeing unit contains a musician, it may apply a +1 modifier to its
Leadership characteristic whenever it attempts to rally, up to a maximum of Leadership 10.

Quick Time Should a unit that contains a musician wish to march whilst within 8" of an enemy
unit, it may apply a +1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic, up to a maximum of Leadership
10, when making its Leadership test.

Sida 11 av 17
:
 Musicians As Casualties If a musician model is slain, another rank and file model belonging to
the same unit, but that is not a command group model, will retrieve the fallen instrument and take
their place. Therefore, a unit cannot lose its musician unless it, the standard bearer and the
champion are the only remaining models in the unit. This applies even if the musician is targeted
by an attack that allows a specific model within a unit to be targeted, or finds themselves lying
underneath a template.

If the only other remaining models in a unit are the champion and standard bearer, the musician
must be removed as a casualty before either.
Standard Bearer
If a unit includes a standard bearer, it may claim a bonus of +1 combat result point.

If a fleeing unit is run down by an enemy unit, or if a unit is destroyed in combat by an enemy
unit, its standard is claimed as a trophy. Standards claimed in this way are worth bonus Victory
Points at the end of the battle. Once a standard has been lost in this way, it cannot be reclaimed.
Battle Standard Bearer
This army list is intended for use alongside the ‘Forming Units’ and ‘Warhammer Armies’
sections of the Warhammer: the Old World rulebook. Over the following pages you will find
profiles and rules for each of the models in your army. These pages give you all of the
information that you need to shape your collection of models into the units which will in turn
form a force ready for battle.
Beguile
Enemy units must make a Leadership test before making any rolls To Hit against this Vampire
during the Combat phase. If this test is failed, only rolls of a natural 6 will hit.
Bound Spirits
Unlike other swarms, this unit is not subject to the Undisciplined rule. In other words, this unit
can use the Inspiring Presence rule of the army’s General and the Hold your Ground rule of a
Battle Standard.
Cleaving Blow
If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound for an attack made
in combat, it has struck a ‘Cleaving Blow’. Enemy models whose troop type is ‘regular infantry’,
‘heavy infantry’, ‘regular cavalry’, ‘heavy cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’ are not permitted an armour or
Regeneration save against a Cleaving Blow (Ward saves can be attempted as normal).

Note that if an attack wounds automatically, this special rule cannot be used.
Cleaving Blow (Black Knights & Hell Knight only)
If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound for an attack made
in combat, it has struck a ‘Cleaving Blow’. Enemy models whose troop type is ‘regular infantry’,
‘heavy infantry’, ‘regular cavalry’, ‘heavy cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’ are not permitted an armour or
Regeneration save against a Cleaving Blow (Ward saves can be attempted as normal).

:
 Note that if an attack wounds automatically, this special rule cannot be used.
Close Order
A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Close Order formation, as
described on page 100.
Dark Vitality
Models with this special rule are not subject to the Death of a General rule. In addition, unless
they have joined a unit that does not have this special rule they (and their mounts) can march as
normal.
Drilled
Unless it is fleeing, a Drilled unit may perform a free redress the ranks manoeuvre immediately
before moving. Once this manoeuvre is complete, the unit moves as normal. In addition, a Drilled
unit can march whilst within 8" of an enemy unit without first having to make a Leadership test.

Note that any character that joins a Drilled unit is considered to be Drilled as well.
Ethereal
Ethereal creatures treat all terrain as open ground for the purposes of movement. They cannot end
their movement inside impassable terrain, though they can pass through it. In addition, Ethereal
creatures can only be wounded by Magical attacks. Characters that are not Ethereal cannot join
units that are, and vice versa.
First Charge
If this unit’s first charge of the game is successful (i.e., if the unit makes contact with the charge
target), the charge target becomes Disrupted until the end of the Combat phase of that turn.
Flaming Attacks
Any attack made or hits caused by a model with this special rule, or made using a weapon or spell
with this special rule, is a ‘Flaming’ attack. In addition, a model with this special rule causes Fear
(as described on page 168) in models whose troop type is ‘war beasts’ or ‘swarms’.

Unless otherwise stated, a model with this special rule makes Flaming attacks both when
shooting and in combat (though any spells cast by the model are unaffected, as are any attacks
made with magic weapons they might be wielding).
Flammable
A model with this special rule cannot make a Regeneration save against a wound caused by a
Flaming attack.
Fly (8)
A model with this special rule can Fly. Models that can Fly can choose wither to move normally
on the ground (using their Movement characteristic), or to move by flying. How many inches a
model can Fly varies from model to model, and will be shown in brackets after the name of this
special rule. Models tat choose to move by flying:

- May move as normal (i.e. they may charge, march and manoeuvre as if moving on the ground),
except that they are able to pass freely above other models, units and terrain features without any
penalty, and they can march whilst within 8" of an enemy unit without first having to make a

:
 Leadership test.

- May end their movement in terrain, but will suffer its effects if they do. They cannot end their
movement 'on top' of impassable terrain or another unit, or within 1" of an enemy unit.

Models that can Fly must begin and end all their movement on the ground. A character with this
special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice versa.
General
Inspiring Presence: Warriors fight all the better under the stern gaze of their General. Unless your
General is fleeing, all friendly units within their Command range can use their Leadership
characteristic instead of their own (so rally your General first!).
Horde
A unit with this special rule may increase the maximum Rank Bonus it can claim (as determined
by its troop type) by one.
Indomitable (1)
A unit with this special rule reduces the number of wounds suffered due to the Unstable special
rule by the number shown in brackets (shown here as ‘X’).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule,
use the highest value for the entire unit. For example, if a character with Indomitable (2) joins a
unit with Indomitable (1), the whole unit uses the character’s Indomitable (2) special rule.
Indomitable (2)
A unit with this special rule reduces the number of wounds suffered due to the Unstable special
rule by the number shown in brackets (shown here as ‘X’).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule,
use the highest value for the entire unit. For example, if a character with Indomitable (2) joins a
unit with Indomitable (1), the whole unit uses the character’s Indomitable (2) special rule.
Invocation Of Nehek
During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character
may attempt to resurrect the fallen (see page 28) by making a Leadership test (using their own
Leadership). If this test is passed, a single friendly unit that has the Necromantic Undead special
rule and is within 12" of this character recovers a number of lost Wounds. However, magically
repairing great Undead beasts is much harder than raising Zombies from the dirt. Therefore, how
many Wounds are recovered depends upon the unit’s troop type and this character’s Level of
Wizardry:
• If the unit’s troop type is ‘regular infantry’ or ‘heavy infantry’, it recovers a number of Wounds
equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry +D3.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘swarms’, ‘light cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’, it recovers a number of
Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry +1.

:
 • If the unit’s troop type is ‘monstrous infantry’, ‘heavy cavalry’, ‘monstrous cavalry’ or ‘light
chariot’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘heavy chariot’, ‘monstrous creature’, ‘behemoth’ or ‘war machine’, it
recovers a single Wound.
Killing Blow
If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound for an attack made
in combat, it has struck a ‘Killing Blow’. Enemy models whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or
‘cavalry’ are not permitted an armour or Regeneration save (see page 176) against a Killing Blow
(Ward saves can be attempted as normal). If an enemy model whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or
‘cavalry’ suffers an unsaved wound from a Killing Blow, it loses all of its remaining Wounds.

Note that if an attack wounds automatically, this special rule cannot be used.
Lore Of Undeath
A Wizard with the ‘Lore of Undeath’ special rule may discard one of their randomly generated
spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their
chosen Lore of Magic, or one of the spells listed below:

• Vanhal’s Danse Macabre

• Hellish Vigour
• Raise Dead
Magical Attacks
Any attack made or hit caused by a model with this special rule, or made using a weapon with
this special rule, is a ‘Magical’ attack.

Note that all spells are considered to have this special rule, as are any hits caused by magic items.
Master Of The Black Arts
This Vampiric Power may only be taken by a Vampire Count that is a Level 2 Wizard, or by a
Vampire Thrall that is a Level 1 Wizard. This Vampire increases their Level of Wizardry by 1.
Move Through Cover
Models with this special rule do not suffer any modifiers to their Movement characteristic for
moving through difficult or dangerous terrain. In addition, a model with this special rule may re-
roll any rolls of 1 when making Dangerous Terrain tests.
Necromantic Undead
Models with this special rule are ‘Undead’. Undead models cannot march (unless they have the
Fly (X) special rule and choose to move by flying). In addition, all Undead models have the
following universal special rules:
• Fear
• Immune to Psychology
• Unbreakable
• Unstable A character with this special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice
versa.

 Open Order
A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt an Open Order formation, as
described on page 182.
Poisoned Attacks
If a model with Poisoned Attacks rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Hit, that hit will wound
automatically. Unless otherwise stated, a model with this special rule may use it when making
both shooting and combat attacks. Any spells cast by the model are unaffected, as are any attacks
made with magic weapons. Note that if an attack needs a To Hit roll of 7+, or hits automatically,
this special rule cannot be used.
Regeneration (5+)
A model with this special rule can make a 'Regeneration' save. The armour value of a
Regeneration save is shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (X+). A Regeneration
save can never be modified by the AP characteristic of a weapon and can be made in addition to
an armour save and Ward save. However, any wounds saved by a Regeneration save are still
counted for the purposes of calculating combat result.

Note that models with this special rule are often vulnerable to the Flaming Attacks or Magical
Attacks special rules.
Regeneration (6+)
A model with this special rule can make a 'Regeneration' save. The armour value of a
Regeneration save is shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (X+). A Regeneration
save can never be modified by the AP characteristic of a weapon and can be made in addition to
an armour save and Ward save. However, any wounds saved by a Regeneration save are still
counted for the purposes of calculating combat result.

Note that models with this special rule are often vulnerable to the Flaming Attacks or Magical
Attacks special rules.
Reserve Move
Unless it charged, marched or fled during the Movement phase of its turn, a unit with this special
rule may make a Reserve move at the end of the Shooting phase of its turn, after all shooting has
been resolved. A unit making a Reserve move moves as described in the Basic Movement rules.
It may manoeuvre normally, but cannot march.
Skirmishers
A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Skirmish formation, as described
on page 184.
Spectral Reapers
A unit with this special rule may perform a ‘Spectral Reapers’ attack against a single enemy unit
that is not engaged in combat. To do so, this unit must move (by flying) over the unit it wishes to
attack during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Once this unit’s movement is complete, the
enemy unit suffers a single Strength 4 hit, with no armour save permitted (Ward and Regeneration
saves can be attempted as normal), and with the Flaming Attacks and Magical Attacks special
rules, for each model in this unit that moved over it.

 Swiftstride
A unit with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, when it
makes a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, may apply a +D6 modifier to the result.
Terror
Models with this special rule cause Terror. Models that cause Terror also cause Fear, as described
on page 168:

• When a unit that causes Terror declares a charge, the charge target must immediately make a
Leadership test. If this test is failed, it must Flee. If this test is passed, it can declare its charge
reaction normally.

• If the winning side of a combat includes one or more units that cause Terror, each unit that
belongs to the losing side must apply a -1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic when making
its Break test.

Note that if a charged unit cannot choose to Flee, it does not make this Leadership test.

Models with the Fear special rule Fear models that cause Terror. Models that cause Terror are
immune to Terror. A unit that does not cause Terror does not become immune to Terror when
joined by a character that does.
Wailing Dirge
During the Shooting phase of its turn, unless it marched during the preceding Movement phase, a
model with this special rule may make a ‘Wailing Dirge’ attack. A Wailing Dirge attack may
target any enemy unit that is within 8" of this model (including units that are engaged in combat)
and that this model can draw a line of sight to, or that this model is engaged in combat with.

The target must make a Leadership test with a -2 modifier to its Leadership characteristic (to a
minimum of 2). If this test is failed, the target suffers a number of wounds equal to the amount by
which it failed the test, with no armour or Regeneration saves permitted (Ward saves can be
attempted as normal).

Note that a Wailing Dirge attack can target an enemy character, regardless of the usual rules for
targeting Lone characters.
