1 Introduction
1.A What is The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles?
The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles, often simply called The 9th Age or T9A, is a community-made miniatures wargame in
which two grand armies clash in an epic battle for power or survival. Each army can be composed of simple foot
soldiers, skilled archers, armour-clad knights, powerful wizards, legendary heroes, epic monsters, and huge dragons.
The game is usually played on a 72″ by 48″ battlefield and uses six-sided dice to resolve different actions such as
charging into battle, letting arrows loose, or casting spells.
All relevant rules, as well as feedback and suggestions, can be found and given here:
All changes can be found in the change log:
• Keywords and titles main terms are indicated by using capitalisation, as in “Round of Combat”, unless they are
too common, like “model” or “unit”.
• Bold font is used to highlight essential words and Model Rules given by another Model Rule. It is used in Army
Books to highlight Model Rules that are defined in the unit entry.
• Italic font is used for spell names, background text, or repetitive text.
• Grey-coloured text is used for figure and table captions, item restrictions, and repetitive text.
• (Brackets) are used for clarifications and explanations of the actual rules, and for defining parameters of some
Model Rules.

1.B Scale of the Game

Playing tabletop wargames is often an exercise in abstract thought, especially when it comes to mass battle games
like The 9th Age. As such there is no prescribed scale while playing The 9th Age; a single miniature could represent a
single, a dozen, or even a hundred warriors. We believe the timescale of the game to be even more arbitrary than
the scale of the game: The action of moving in the Movement Phase could take several minutes of real time, while
casting spells in the Magic Phase or shooting a weapon in the Shooting Phase could be near instantaneous events.
Likewise the actions of two units clashing in the Melee Phase could represent only a few heartbeats in real time,
while a Duel between two mighty individuals could be a drawn combat lasting several minutes or more. Hence, no
quantitative value can be assigned to a game turn or turn sub-phase.

2 General Principles
2.A Turns
The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles is a turn based game. A standard game lasts for 6 Game Turns, each divided into two
Player Turns. At the beginning of the game, one player has the first Player Turn, in which they use their units to
perform various actions, such as moving, casting spells, or Charging, while their opponent gets to react. After this,
the other player has their first Player Turn. When this comes to an end, Game Turn 1 is complete. In Game Turn 2,
the first player now has their second Player Turn, and so on, until both players have completed 6 Player Turns. This
marks the end of the game.
2.A.a Player Turn

Each Player Turn is divided into five phases, performed in the following order:
1 Charge Phase
2 Movement Phase
3 Magic Phase
4 Shooting Phase
5 Melee Phase
2.A.b Active and Reactive Player

The Active Player is the player whose Player Turn it currently is.
The Reactive Player is the player whose Player Turn it currently is not.
2.A.c Simultaneous Effects

Whenever two or more effects occur at the same time, resolve effects controlled by the Active Player first. If there is
a choice involved (such as abilities that may or may not be activated), the Active Player must declare the use of their
abilities before the Reactive Player. Each player is free to decide in which order they resolve their own simultaneous
abilities. Once both players have declared the use and order of their abilities, resolve their effects, starting with
those of the Active Player.
• During the Pre-Game Sequence, consider the player that chose their Deployment Zone to be the Active Player.
• During the Deployment Phase, consider the player that finished deploying first to be the Active Player.
For example, if both players have abilities that may be activated at the beginning of the Magic Phase, the player
whose Magic Phase it is must choose first whether or not they are using their abilities and in which order. Then the
Reactive Player may choose to use their abilities or not. After that, the effects of the abilities from both sides are
resolved, starting with the Active Player’s abilities.
2.A.d The terms Friendly and Enemy

The rules often refer to a friendly or enemy Player Turn, friendly or enemy models, friendly or enemy units, etc. In
this context, the term “enemy” refers to your opponent’s Player Turns, models, units, etc., while “friendly” refers to
yours.
5
2.B Dice
2.B.a Rolling Dice
In The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles, dice are often used to determine random outcomes. The most commonly used type
is the six-sided dice, referred to as a D6, with a range from 1 to 6. The effects of a dice roll are often dependent on
whether the rolled value is equal to or higher than a set value (such as a dice roll that is successful if the dice rolls ‘3’
or higher). This is often referred to as a 3+ (or 2+, 4+, 6+, etc.).
Multiple Dice: Sometimes you need to roll more than one of these dice at the same time. This is represented by a
number before the type of dice rolled, such as 3D6, which means to roll 3 six-sided dice and add the results together.
Modified Dice Rolls: On other occasions, a dice roll may be modified by adding or subtracting a number, such as
D6+1. In such cases, simply add the relevant number to, or subtract it from, the result of the roll.
Natural Roll: A natural roll on a D6 refers to the value of the dice, before any modifiers are applied.
Rerolling Dice: Lastly, some effects in the game call for rerolling certain dice, such as “failed to-wound rolls”, or
“Aegis Save results of ‘1’”. When you encounter such situations, reroll the relevant dice. Dice can only be rerolled
once. The second result is final, no matter the cause, source, or result, and the initial result is ignored for all rules
purposes, unless specifically stated otherwise. Note that rerolling a dice is not considered a modifier.
2.B.a.1 Rolling a D3
The game sometimes requires the roll of a D3. This is performed by rolling a D6 and then halving the result, rounding
up, so that the result can only be 1, 2, or 3. If the game requires a natural ‘1’ or a natural ‘6’ when rolling a D3, it
always refers to the value of the D6 before halving.
2.B.a.2 Maximised Roll and Minimised Roll

For dice rolls subject to Maximised Roll, roll one additional D6 and discard the lowest D6 rolled. For dice rolls subject
to Minimised Roll, roll one additional D6 and discard the highest D6 rolled. These rules are cumulative (e.g. for a
roll affected by two instances of Maximised Roll, you roll two additional D6 and discard the two lowest D6 rolled).
The results of the discarded D6 are ignored for all intents and purposes.
2.B.b The Direction Dice and Random Directions

The Direction Dice is a special six-sided dice with all sides marked with an arrow. Certain rules may ask the player to
determine a random direction. In such cases, roll the Direction Dice and then use the direction in which the arrow
points.
Representing the Direction Dice with a Standard D6

Alternatively the Direction Dice can be represented by rolling a standard six-sided dice and using the side with a
single dot (i.e. the ‘1’) to represent the direction of an arrow as depicted in figure . If rolling a result of ‘1’ or ‘6’ (‘1’
and ‘6’ are on opposite faces on a standard dice), use the central dot in the ‘5’ to represent the direction of the arrow
instead.
Figure 1: Representing the Direction Dice with a standard D6.

3 Models and Units
3.A Models
Models in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles represent epic warriors, ferocious monsters, and lethal spell casters. Every
miniature that stands on the same base is considered the same model (e.g. a dragon and its rider or a cannon and its
crewmen are considered a single model).
The scale of miniatures most commonly used for The 9th Age ranges from 1:70 to 1:50 when compared to real-life
sized equivalents for human-sized creatures. Many units are commonly represented by miniatures with a scale in
the range of 25 mm to 32 mm (a common form of measuring human miniature size is measuring the model’s height
to the eyes). Players are welcome to interpret the scale as they like, as the distances used in the rules do not seem
realistic if the scale of 1:1 compared to the actual size of the miniatures is used for the game.
The 9th Age does not officially support any particular product line, and you are welcome to play with whatever scale
and miniatures you and your opponent have agreed upon. However, it is very important to make sure you mount
your models (regardless of scale or size) on the correct base size for the unit entry.
Just as we can imagine that the combatants in the game are actually smaller than the miniatures that represent them,
we can also imagine that a single miniature does not have to represent a single warrior. We could imagine a unit of
10 elite elven warriors representing exactly 10 elves or some other group size like 20, 50, or 100. At the same time a
unit of 10 Goblin Raiders could just represent 10 goblins, but is more likely to represent some larger group of 100,
200, or 500.
Characters and monsters are meant to represent exceptional individuals and especially potent creatures that are
worth entire regiments on their own. It may be easier to come to terms with a miniature of a character representing
not just the character itself but also their bodyguards and assorted staff that might follow such a hero into battle.
3.A.a Bases
All models are placed on a rectangular or round base. Base sizes are given as two measurements in millimetres:
front-width × side-length (e.g. most horse riders’ bases are 25×50 mm). In some rare cases models have round
bases. In these cases, only a single measurement is given: the diameter of the base (e.g. a common War Machine
base is a round 60 mm base). For all rules purposes, only the base of a model is relevant and determines the model’s
location on the battlefield, while the miniature itself is not taken into consideration.
3.A.b Multipart Models

Models with more than one Offensive Profile are called Multipart Models (see “ ”, page ).
Each part of such a model has its own Offensive Profile and is referred to as a model part. For example, a cavalry
model has two parts (the rider and its mount), while a normal foot soldier has a single part.
Sometimes a model has multiple identical parts. In this case, the name of the model part in the unit profile is followed
by a number in brackets. For example, a chariot might have three charioteers, which would be noted as “Charioteer
(3)”.
Whenever a rule, ability, spell, and so on affects a model, all parts of the model are affected, unless the rule specifically
states it only affects a specific model part. When attacking or shooting, each part of a Multipart Model uses its own
Characteristics and weapons.
3.A.c Model Facings

A model has 4 Facings: Front, Rear, and two Flanks. The Facings are the edges of the model’s base. Models on round
bases only have a single Facing, which is considered to be their Front Facing.
7
3.A.d Model Arcs
A model has 4 Arcs: Front, Rear, Left Flank, and Right Flank. Each Arc is determined by extending a straight line
from the corners of the model’s base, in a 135° angle from the model’s Facings. Any object at least touching the line
that separates two Arcs (even if only in a single point) is considered to be inside those Arcs. For rules purposes,
models on round bases have a single 360° Arc all around, which is considered to be their Front Arc.
3.B Units
All models are part of a unit. A unit is either a group of models deployed in a formation consisting of ranks (along
the width of the unit) and files (along the length of the unit) or a single model operating on its own.
When forming a unit, all models in the unit must be perfectly aligned in base contact with each other and face the
same direction. Models in a unit that are not in the first rank must be positioned so that another model is directly in
front of them. All ranks must always have the same width, except the rear rank which can be shorter than the other
ranks; this is called an incomplete rear rank. Note that it’s perfectly fine for the rear rank to have gaps in it, as long
as the models are aligned with those of the other ranks. Following these rules, you are free to field your units in
whatever formation, as few or as many files wide as you wish, but this may affect rules that interact with the unit
(see “ ” and “ ” for examples).
Whenever a rule, ability, spell, and so on affects a unit, all models in the unit are affected.
3.B.a Rank-and-File
Normal models in a unit are called Rank-and-File models (R&F). All models except Characters are R&F models.
3.B.b Full Ranks

The Height of a unit determines how many models are needed in a rank in order to form a Full Rank (see “
”, page ). Units of Standard Height need 5 models, Large units need 3 models, and Gigantic units
need 1 model.
3.B.c Close Formation & Line Formation

Units are normally considered to be in Close Formation. Units in ranks of 8 or more models are instead considered
to be in Line Formation. Units in Line Formation gain the Attack Attribute, but cannot add any
Rank Bonus to their Combat Score (see “ ”, page for details on the formations’ in-game effects).
3.B.d Health Pools

All Health Points of a unit are part of one or more Health Pools. The Health Points of all non- R&F models
of a unit form a separate Health Pool, while the Champion and each joined to the unit each have their own
Health Pool (see “ ”, page and “ ”, page ).
3.B.e Unit Boundary

A Unit Boundary is an imaginary rectangle around the outer edges of the unit. The Unit Boundary of units composed
of models on round bases is identical to the area occupied by their bases (this means that their Unit Boundaries are
not a rectangle but a circle). A unit usually cannot be inside another Unit Boundary, unless the units are overlapping
(see figure and “ ”, page ).
3.B.f Centre of Unit

A unit’s Centre is the centre of its Unit Boundary (see figure ).
3.B.g Unit Facings

A unit has 4 Facings: Front, Rear, and two Flanks. The Facings are the edges of the Unit Boundary (see figure ).
Units on round bases have a single Facing, which is considered to be their Front Facing.
8
3.B.h Unit Arcs
A unit has 4 Arcs: Front, Rear, Left Flank, and Right Flank. Each Arc is determined by extending a straight line
from the corners of the Unit Boundary, in a 135° angle from the unit’s Facings (see figure ). Any object at least
touching the line that separates two Arcs (even if only in a single point) is considered to be inside those Arcs. For
rules purposes, units on round bases have a single 360° Arc all around, which is considered to be their Front Arc.
Many rules require the players to determine which Arc of a unit another object is Located in. Note that for rules
purposes there is a difference between “being inside an Arc” as described above and “being Located in an Arc” (see
figure ):
• Models/units on rectangular bases are Located in the Arc which the centre of their Front Facing is in.
• Models/units on round bases are Located in the Arc which the centre of their base is in.
• Any other object is Located in the Arc which its centre is in.
If an object is Located exactly in two Arcs of a unit, it is considered to be Located in the unit’s Flank Arc.

The Front, Flank, and Rear Arcs are defined by drawing lines from the corners of the Unit Boundary in a 135° angle
from the unit’s Facings.
b) The Unit Boundary is the area drawn around the outer edges of the unit (grey area). The Centre of the unit is the
centre of the Unit Boundary (red x).
c) A Unit Boundary cannot be inside another Unit Boundary, not even with parts that aren’t occupied by any models.

3.C.a Base Contact between Units and Models

Two or more units are in base contact with each other if their Unit Boundaries are touching one another (including
corner to corner contact).
Two or more models on rectangular bases are in base contact with each other if their bases are touching one another
(including corner to corner contact).
3.C.a.1 Base Contact between Models across Gaps

Incomplete ranks or Characters with may cause gaps between opposing models whose units are
in base contact. Two opposing models are considered to be in base contact with each other across such gaps if you
can draw a straight line from one model to the other, including corner to corner, that is perpendicular to the opposite
Facings.
A model is considered to not be in base contact across a gap if its entire Facing opposite the enemy model is in
contact with a friendly model.
See figure for an example of how to determine if opposing models are considered to be in base contact across gaps.
Figure 5: Base contact between models across gaps.

to the Charged unit’s incomplete rear rank, some models are in base contact

“normal” base contact with F).

1 2 3 4 6
c) This line connects E with 5 and 6. E is in base contact with both 5 and 6.

3.C.b Contact between Objects
Two objects, like bases, Unit Boundaries, Terrain Features, and so on, are considered to be in contact (see figure ):
• If they touch one another:
a) Along a line (e.g. two rectangular bases contacting each other along their front)
b) At a single point (e.g. corner to corner contact between units)
• If one object is inside another. An object is considered to be inside another if it is:
c) Partially inside the other object
d) Fully inside the other object
3.C.c Overlapping Objects

Two objects are considered to be overlapping if they or their Unit Boundaries are at least partially on top of one
another, without the two objects being in contact (e.g. a unit with Flying Movement and a Terrain Feature). This
includes the edges of both objects.
3.C.d Interactions with Round Bases

Units are considered in base contact with a model on a round base if their Unit Boundaries are in contact.
Models are considered to be in base contact with a model on a round base if all of the following conditions are met:
• Their units are in base contact.
• The Unit Boundary of the model on a round base is directly in front of them.
• There aren’t any models in between them.
See figure for an example.
A Figure 6: Base contact between models and a model on round base.
The models with a bold frame in unit B are considered to be in base contact with
the model A on the round base, since this round base is directly in front of them.

4 Battlefield Logistics
4.A Measuring Distances
The unit of measurement for all distances and ranges in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles, is the inch (″). An inch
corresponds to 2.54 cm.
When using 28 mm scale miniatures, 1″ in the game would be roughly equal to 1.5 meters in real life. An average
human-like creature in the game has an Advance Rate of 4″ and a March Rate of 8″, which means that in a single
Movement Phase it would move only 6 metres (12 if marching). Likewise a ranged weapon like a Longbow has an
effective range of 30″ in the game which would equal roughly 45 metres, which is 5 times shorter than the average
historic effective range of the weapon of around 250 metres.
For example, players could use the historic range of the Longbow to determine what kind of distance 1″ represents in
a game. In that case 1″ would be slightly more than 8 metres and much closer to representing the distances assumed
when writing the rules for this game.
We do not wish to tell players how to imagine their fights or how many individuals each miniature should represent,
but we believe that an easy equation of 1″ being roughly equal to 10 metres is a good representation of the size of
the game. An average game will be played on a 72×48″ table and thus represents a real-life area of 720×480 m or
roughly 50 football pitches. In medieval times (the closest thing we have to our fantasy world) this would represent
an average sized battlefield where two forces with soldiers numbering from a few hundred to several thousand
would meet.
To determine the distance between two points on the Battlefield (or two units, or any other elements), you always
measure from the closest points, even if the line of measuring goes through any kind of intervening or obstructing
element.
The rules often refer to things being within a certain distance. Measure the distance between the closest points. If
this distance is less than or equal to the given range, they are considered to be within range. This means that a model
is always within range of itself, and that the entire model or unit does not need to be within range, only a fraction of
it.
When measuring distances to and from a unit, measure to and from its Unit Boundary.
Players are allowed to measure any distance at any time.
4.B Line of Sight

A model can draw Line of Sight to its target (a point, a model, or a Unit Boundary) if you can extend a straight line
from its Front Facing directly to its target, without the line:
• Leaving the model’s Front Arc
• Being interrupted by Opaque Terrain
• Being interrupted by the base of a model that has an equal or bigger Height than both the model and its
target (see “ ”, page , for more details; Model Rules such as or can affect
this)
For the purpose of drawing Line of Sight to or from a point on the Battlefield, that point is considered to be of
Standard Height.
When drawing Line of Sight from several models inside a unit, this is done independently for each model. Line of
Sight cannot be drawn to targets outside the unit’s Front Arc, and models never block Line of Sight to other models
within the same unit. A unit is considered to have Line of Sight to a target if one or more models in the unit have Line
of Sight. A model is considered to have Line of Sight to a unit if it can draw Line of Sight to any part of the unit’s Unit
Boundary.
See figure for an illustration of how to draw Line of Sight from a model.
12
Figure 7: Drawing Line of Sight.
The area within which the single model
B C unit D can draw Line of Sight is marked

in yellow.
• Unit B is within Line of Sight.
• Unit A is within Line of Sight as unit D
can draw Line of Sight to the Unit Bound-
A ary of unit A, even though that part of
A’s Unit Boundary is not occupied by any
45° 45° models.
• Unit C is not within Line of Sight as
the Impassable Terrain Feature counts
D as Opaque Terrain and therefore blocks
Line of Sight from unit D to unit C.
4.C Unit Spacing

Under normal circumstances, all units must be separated from Impassable Terrain and from both friendly and enemy
units by more than 1″ (remember that distances between units are measured to and from their Unit Boundaries).
Certain types of movement allow a unit to come within 1″ of other units or Impassable Terrain. The most common
types of movement are:
• During an Advance Move, a March Move, or a Swift Reform, units may come up to 0.5″ of these elements but
must be more than 1″ away at the end of the move (see figure ).
• During a Failed Charge Move or a Charge Move, units are allowed to come within 0.5″ of these elements,
including base contact (they may however only move into base contact with an enemy unit that was the target
of the Charge).
Once these units have moved within 1″ of these elements, they are allowed to remain there as long as they stay
within 1″. As soon as they move farther away, the usual restrictions regarding Unit Spacing apply again.
A
Figure 8: Unit Spacing.
During an Advance or March Move, unit A may be moved

closer than 1″ to the Unit Boundary of unit B. Unit A may
B however not come within 0.5″ of unit B. Since unit A started
the move more than 1″ away from unit B, it must be more
than 1″ away from B’s Unit Boundary at the end of its Advance
or March Move.

5 Characteristics
5.A Characteristic Profiles
Each unit entry contains the following Characteristic Profiles: Global Characteristics, Defensive Characteristics, and
Offensive Characteristics.
5.A.a Global Characteristics

Each model has three Global Characteristics:
Adv Advance Rate The distance the model can Advance Move in inches.
Mar March Rate The distance the model can March Move in inches.
Dis Discipline The model’s ability to stand and fight.
5.A.b Defensive Characteristics

Each model has four Defensive Characteristics:
HP Health Points When the model loses this many Health Points, it is removed as a casualty.
Def Defensive Skill How well the model avoids being hit in melee.
Res Resilience How easily the model withstands blows.
Arm Armour The innate Armour of the model.
5.A.c Offensive Characteristics

If a model consists of more than one model part, each model part has its own set of Offensive Characteristics. Each
model part has five Offensive Characteristics:
Agi Agility Model parts with a higher Agility strike first in melee.
Att Attack Value The number of times the model part can strike in a Round of Combat.
Off Offensive Skill How good the model part is at scoring hits in melee.
Str Strength How easily the model can wound enemy models.
AP Armour Penetration How well the model can penetrate the Armour of enemy models.
14
5.B Characteristic Values
Usually each Characteristic is rated with a value between 0 and 10. A higher value of a given Characteristic indicates
that a model is more accomplished in that Characteristic. These values are used for various game mechanics like
moving units and attacking with models, which will be explained in later chapters.
5.B.a Random Characteristics

Some model parts have random values for one or more Characteristics (e.g. Attack Value D6+1). Roll for the value
each time just before it is needed. In the case of Defensive and Offensive Characteristics, the rolled value is used for
all simultaneous attacks (such as Shooting Attacks from a single unit or Melee Attacks at the same Initiative Step).
When several models in the same unit have a random value for a Characteristic, roll separately for each model.
A random value for Advance Rate means that the model has the Random Movement Universal Rule (see “
”, page ).
5.B.b Special Cases of Characteristic Values

Sometimes Characteristic values in the Defensive or Global Characteristic Profile of mounts may contain a “C” instead
of a value. In this case, “C” refers to the value in the Character’s profile, which is used instead.
Sometimes a value is written as “C + X”. In this case, use the Character’s value, increased by X (see “
”, page ).
In other cases, a model part may not have any values for certain Characteristics (e.g. the chassis of a chariot). These
cannot be modified in any way.
5.C Characteristic Tests

To perform a Characteristic Test, roll a D6. If the result is less than or equal to the value of the tested Characteristic,
the test is passed. Otherwise the test is failed. A test always fails on the result of ‘6’.
When a model with more than one value for a Characteristic takes a Characteristic Test, take a single test for the
Multipart Model, using the highest value available. For instance, if a Sylvan Elf Character with Strength 4 riding an
Elven Horse with Strength 3 has to take a Strength test, the Multipart Model uses Strength 4 for this test.
When a unit as a whole takes a Characteristic Test, the highest value is used.
5.C.a Discipline Tests

Discipline Tests are a special type of Characteristic Test and follow their own rules. To perform a Discipline Test,
roll 2D6 and compare the result with the model’s Discipline Characteristic. If the result is less than or equal to the
Discipline value, the test is passed. Otherwise, the test is failed.
When a unit as a whole takes a Discipline Test, the owner chooses a single model in the unit to take the test for
the whole unit. If there are different Discipline values in the unit, the owner chooses which model to use. This
often occurs when Characters are joined to units. If the model passes the Discipline Test, every model in the unit is
considered to have passed the test. If the model fails the Discipline Test, every model in the unit is considered to
have failed the Discipline Test.
Many different game mechanics call for a Discipline Test, such as performing a Panic Test or a Break Test. All these
mechanics are Discipline Tests, regardless of any additional rules and modifications described in the relevant rules
sections.
15
6 Modifiers
The values of Characteristics, dice rolls, or other values can be the target of modifiers from numerous sources, like
spells, weapons, and armour. They can be set to a certain value, and they can be subject to addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
6.A Values Set to a Fixed Number

When a value or a roll is set to a certain value, replace the modified value or the required roll with that value. For
example, if an attack is subject to the effect “The attack has its Armour Penetration set to 10”, you replace the attack’s
Armour Penetration value with 10.
A Characteristic may be set to the value of another model’s Characteristic. In this case, the value of the other model’s
Characteristic is taken after applying any modifiers which the other model is subject to. Modifiers that affect the
recipient model will then be applied to this value (following the rules in below). For example, if
a model has the rule “The Discipline of all units within 12″ may be set to the Discipline value of the model”, all units
affected by this modifier may ignore their own Discipline and use the model’s Discipline instead.
6.B Multiplication and Division

Sometimes values or rolls can be modified by multiplication or division. In case of the latter, round fractions up.
For example, if a model attacks an enemy model that is subject to the rule “All attacks made against this model are
performed at half Strength”, the Strength of its attacks is divided by 2, rounding fractions up.
6.C Addition and Subtraction

Sometimes values or rolls are modified by addition or subtraction. For example, if a model is subject to the rule “The
wearer gains +1 Armour and suffers −2 Offensive Skill”, you add 1 to its Armour and subtract 2 from its Offensive
Skill.
16
6.D Priority of Modifiers
If any value or roll is affected by more than one modifier, these modifiers are applied in a strict order, following table
below. First apply modifiers listed with priority step 1, then apply modifiers with priority step 2 to the result, and
so on (whenever you see the terms set/always/never used in bold in such a modifier, this indicates its priority).
When several modifiers within a group are to be applied to a value (e.g. a Characteristic value), apply them in the
order that results in the lowest value.
When several modifiers within a group are to be applied to a dice roll (e.g. for Saves, to-hit rolls, to-wound
rolls), apply them in the order that results in the lowest success chance of the roll.
Priority Step Modifier

Values set to a certain number and values set to another model’s value. If the other
1
model’s Characteristic is modified, apply these modifiers before setting the Characteristic.
2 Multiplication and division. Round fractions up.
3 Addition and subtraction.
Rolls always or never succeeding or failing on certain results, and Characteristics always
4
or never set to a certain value or range of values.
Table 1: Priority of Modifiers.
For example, if a model is affected by (A) “The model’s attacks gain +1 to hit” and (B) “Attacks made with this weapon
are set to hit on 4+”, first apply modifier (B), since modifiers using the “set” mechanic are applied in priority step 1,
and then apply the +1 modifier, as modifiers using addition are applied in priority step 3. The final result would be
the model’s attacks hitting on 3+.
After all modifications via multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction, unless specifically stated otherwise:
• Agility and Attack Value cannot be modified to lower than 1.
• The value of all other Characteristics cannot be modified to lower than 0.
• Armour cannot be modified to exceed a maximum of 6.
• Agility and Discipline cannot be modified to exceed a maximum of 10.
17
7 Attacks
Units in opposing armies fight each other using melee weapons, ranged weapons, spells, and other unique attacks.
This chapter will explain how attacks are performed in general and how you determine if they are successful in
inflicting damage on their targets.
7.A Classification of Attacks

All sources of damage are defined as attacks, which are then divided into Melee and Ranged Attacks (see figure ).
7.A.a Melee Attacks

All attacks made at units in base contact with the attacker’s unit in the Melee Phase are Melee Attacks.
The most common type of Melee Attacks are Close Combat Attacks. Model parts perform a number of Close Combat
Attacks equal to their Attack Value (see “ ”, page ).
Special Attacks are considered to be Melee Attacks that are not Close Combat Attacks (see “ ”, page
).
7.A.b Ranged Attacks

All attacks that are not Melee Attacks are Ranged Attacks.
All Ranged Attacks made with a Shooting Weapon in the Shooting Phase or as a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction are
Shooting Attacks.
Other Ranged Attacks include, amongst others, Damage spells, ranged Special Attacks, hits from , and hits
from failed .
Attacks
Melee Attacks Ranged Attacks
Close Combat Special Attacks Shooting

Others
Attacks Attacks
Figure 9: Classification of attacks.
7.A.c Strength and Armour Penetration of Attacks

Attacks have a Strength and an Armour Penetration value, unless specifically stated otherwise:
• Close Combat Attacks use the Strength and Armour Penetration of the model part making the attack, possibly
modified by their Close Combat Weapon, Model Rules, spells, Characteristic modifiers, and other effects.
• Shooting Attacks use the Strength and Armour Penetration in the profile of the Shooting Weapon they are
made with.
• Other types of attacks (such as spells and Special Attacks) follow the general rules for their type and the
individual rules specified in their description.
18
7.B Attack Sequence
Whenever an attack is performed, use the following sequence:
1 Attacker allocates attacks if applicable.

2 Determine number of hits.
3 Attacker distributes hits if applicable.
4 Attacker rolls to wound; if successful, proceed.
5 Defender makes Armour Save rolls; if failed, proceed.
6 Defender makes Special Save rolls; if failed, proceed.
7 Defender removes Health Points and/or casualties.
8 Defender takes if necessary.
Complete each step for all the attacks that are happening simultaneously (such as all Shooting Attacks from a single
unit or all Close Combat Attacks at a given Initiative Step) before moving on to the next step.
7.C Allocating Close Combat Attacks

Close Combat Attacks are directed against enemy models in base contact. This is referred to as allocating attacks,
and will be explained in the chapter (see “ ”, page ).
7.D Determining the Number of Hits

Close Combat Attacks and most Shooting Attacks need to roll to hit (see “ ”, page and “ ”, page ),
while Special Attacks and certain spells may hit automatically, inflicting a fixed or random number of hits.
7.E Distributing Hits

All attacks that target a unit as a whole will under normal circumstances hit the unit’s R&F . These
include most Ranged Attacks and most Melee Attacks that are not Close Combat Attacks. How hits are distributed
may change when Characters are joined to units, as described in “ ”, page .
Close Combat Attacks are not distributed, but are allocated before to-hit rolls are made, as mentioned above. Do not
redistribute the hits from Close Combat Attacks at this stage.
In cases where not all models of a Health Pool have the same relevant Characteristics or rules (such as different
Resilience values or different saves), use the value or rules of the largest fraction of the Health Pool’s models, and
apply them to all rolls (to-hit, to-wound, saves). In case of a tie, the attacker chooses which fraction to use.
19
7.F To-Wound Rolls
If an attack has a Strength value, it must wound the target to have a chance to harm it. To make a to-wound roll, roll a
D6 for each hit. The difference between the Strength of the attack and the Resilience Characteristic of the defender
determines the needed roll to wound the target (see table below).
A natural roll of ‘6’ will always succeed and a natural roll of ‘1’ will always fail. The player whose attack inflicted the
hit makes a to-wound roll for each attack that hit the target. A successful to-wound roll causes a wound; proceed to
Armour Saves and Armour Modifiers.
If the attack does not have a Strength value, follow the rules given for that particular attack.
Strength minus Resilience Needed roll to wound

2 or more 2+
1 3+
0 4+
−1 5+
−2 or less 6+
Table 2: To-Wound Table.
7.G Armour Saves

If one or more wounds are inflicted, the player whose unit is being wounded now has a chance to save the wound(s)
if the wounded models have any Armour. To make an Armour Save roll, roll a D6 for each wound. The following
formula determines the needed roll to disregard the wound:
7 − (Armour of the defender) + (Armour Penetration of the attack)
A natural roll of ‘1’ will always fail.
If the Armour Save is passed the wound is disregarded.
See table below for the different possible results of the formula.
Armour minus AP Needed roll to disregard the wound

0 or less No save possible
1 6+
2 5+
3 4+
4 3+
5 or 6 2+
Table 3: Armour Save Rolls.
20
7.H Special Saves
The attacked model now has a final chance to disregard a wound that was not saved by its Armour Save, provided
it has a Special Save. There are different types of Special Saves, like and , both detailed in
“ ”, page .
To make a Special Save roll, roll a D6 for each wound that was not saved by the model’s Armour Save.
• If X is given as a dice roll (e.g. Aegis (4+)), X is the roll needed to successfully disregard the wound.
• If X is given as a modifier and with a maximum value (e.g. Fortitude (+1, max 3+)), the model gains this
as a modifier to all its Special Save rolls of the same type, which cannot be increased to rolls better than
the maximum value given in brackets. If the model doesn’t have that type of Special Save, it instead gains a
corresponding Special Save ((7 − X)+) (e.g. a model with Aegis (+2, max 4+) will gain Aegis (5+)).
If a model has more than one Special Save, choose which one to use before rolling. Only a single Special Save can be
used against each wound.
7.I Losing Health Points

For each unsaved wound, the attacked model immediately loses a Health Point, which may lead to models being
removed as casualties. See “ ”, page for further details.
Figure summarises the steps from an attack to a potential casualty.

8 Setting up a Game
8.A Building an Army
The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles includes a series of Army Books which contain the unique rules for Characters and
troops, and the descriptions of the different armies. All unit entries within an Army Book are divided into different
Army Categories, which may be limited to represent a minimum or maximum percentage of the .
The first step in building an army is writing down a selection of units, options, and their Point Costs on a document
called the Army List. An army is subject to certain rules and restrictions which this chapter will describe in further
detail.
8.A.a Point Costs

Every unit, weapon, upgrade, Special Item, etc. costs a certain amount of points. The 9th Age uses Point Costs to
balance units and options so two players can enjoy a game that tests their skills. This allows for quick pickup games
between friends or helps design scenarios where you need to know how powerful certain things are. A unit’s Point
Cost is the total of its starting Point Cost and the Point Costs of all its upgrades. An army’s Point Cost is the total of all
its units’ Point Costs.
8.B Army List Structure

Each army is divided into several Army Categories, restricting the selection of units in a way that enables players
to enjoy a balanced and fair gaming experience. At the same time, they still ensure that armies used in the game
can employ a wide variety of styles. This could represent a single Character and its hunting party or large armies
numbering in their thousands clashing for the fate of the world.
All armies in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles are subject to the basic composition rules detailed in this section.
8.B.a Army Points

Before building an army, you will want to decide with your opponent on the size of the battle, referred to as Army
Points. The combined Point Costs of every unit in your army, as described in “ ”, page , must not exceed
the Army Points. An army may fall below the limit by up to 40 points.
8.B.b Army Categories

An Army List is divided into Army Categories, and every unit on the Army List belongs to one or more Army Categories.
These are marked by icons in the unit entries in the Army Book. The number of points a player can spend on each of
these Army Categories is defined in each Army Book.
The Army Categories are divided into three groupings: the commanders and the outstanding individuals (Characters),
the backbone of the force (Core and Special), and the thematic unique additions (Army-Specific). All armies must
have units from the Characters and Core Army Categories in their Army List.
22
8.B.b.1 Characters
• This Army Category always has a maximum amount of points that can be spent on it, usually 40% of the Army
Points.
• Each army must contain at least one Character that is eligible to be the army’s General (see “ ”, page
).
• Unless specifically stated otherwise, entries that belong to this Army Category follow the rules for Characters
given in “ ”, page .
Characters represent the leaders and exceptional individuals who, through their particular sets
of skills, influence the course of battle using either brute force, tactical acumen, spell casting
ability, or engineering knowledge. It is they who muster the army, and your force will always
include at least one representative of this Army Category to serve as your army General.
8.B.b.2 Core
• This Army Category always has a minimum amount of points that must be spent on it, usually 25% of the Army
Points.
The Core represents the most readily available warriors a faction has access to and will form
the bulk of combatants under the command of the Characters in the force. No matter where or
why the faction fights, the Core are those units that will always be present in some combination
as part of the fighting force. They are also those warriors that a society can provide for battle in
the greatest numbers. While armies can overwhelmingly be formed out of the Core units, it is
rarely the case as each commander seeks to deploy a force that contains as many of their finest
or more specialised warriors as possible, depending on the resources available to them.
8.B.b.3 Special
• This Army Category has no maximum or minimum limit. You are free to spend any amount of points on units
in this Army Category, so long as the requirements of the army composition are met.
The Special Army Category represents more specialised warriors. A faction can call upon large
numbers of these warriors and they can often be the most numerous segment of the entire
fighting force. However, their numbers are still limited, and though some of these units can form
an entire battle line there just isn’t enough of them to form armies on their own.
8.B.b.4 Army-Specific
• This Army Category has a maximum amount of points that can be spent on it; the limit is defined within
individual Army Books.
• All armies have one or more Army-Specific Categories.
The Army-Specific Categories are introduced to provide additional limitations in the process
of army building. These limitations are designed to be reflective of the nature of the faction in
question, and with the goal of ensuring greater balance of the game. There are three types of
Army-Specific Categories: one type is simply an additional grouping of units connected with
a certain theme. These are given a thematic name reflective of the army they are part of or
the function they perform (e.g. Orcs and Goblins – Death from Above). The second type of
Army-Specific Categories provides limitations linked with a certain function a unit from another
Army Category performs within the army (e.g. Beast Herds – Ambushers). And the third type of
Army-Specific Categories is a mix of the above.
23
8.B.b.5 Units Belonging to more than one Army Category
Some units can be included in more than one Army Category, which is represented by more than one icon in their
entry. In these cases, simply count the unit’s Point Cost towards the limits of all its Army Categories, but only once
towards the army Point Cost.
8.B.b.6 Adding Army Categories

Choosing certain options can make a unit count towards another Army Category in addition to its original Army
Category. For example, giving a unit Shooting Weapons might make it also count towards the Ranged Support Army
Category. This is marked by a small icon of the additional Army Category, displayed underneath the original Army
Category icon(s), together with the conditions for counting in this additional Army Category.
8.B.b.7 Splitting Point Cost between Army Categories

In some rare cases a unit’s Point Cost can be split between different Army Categories, where the Point Cost for some
particular option is additionally counted towards a different Army Category than the unit. This is marked in the unit
entry by a split icon, with the two halves representing the two Army Categories the unit counts towards.
For example, a 250 pts Elf Character, counted towards the Characters Army Category, decides to ride a 500 pts
Dragon, which is an option marked to count additionally towards Beasts and Monsters. In this case, the player must
count the entire unit’s Point Cost (250 + 500 = 750 pts) towards Characters, and the Dragon’s Point Cost (500 pts)
towards Beasts and Monsters.
8.B.c Duplication Limits and Restrictions

Certain units and options are limited in number in the army.
8.B.c.1 0–X Items per Army

Some items in the Army Books are marked with 0–X items per Army (e.g. 0–2 Units per Army, 0–2 Models per Army,
0–2 Mounts per Army). Such items can be included from zero to X times in the same army. The maximum limit (X) is
halved for Warbands and doubled for Grand Armies, rounding fractions up (see below).
8.B.c.2 One of a Kind

Items (units, upgrades, equipment, etc.) marked as One of a Kind may only be taken once per army. This is not
changed for Warbands or Grand Armies.
8.B.c.3 Minimum Army Size

Every army must contain a minimum of 4 units. Characters do not count towards this minimum. All units with the
Universal Rule together count as a single unit for this purpose.
8.B.c.4 The General

A single Character in the army must be named the General. At least one Character must be included in the army that
is eligible to fulfill this role. Who is the General must be noted on the Army List.
The General gains the Universal Rule.
24
8.C Warbands and Grand Armies
The rules for army composition are modified depending on the size of an army. An army that is unusually small or
unusually large is subject to the following rules.
Warbands Grand Armies
Armies of 3000 points or less are called Warbands. The Armies of 8000 points or more are called Grand Armies.
Minimum Army Size is decreased to 3 units.
All “0–X Items per Army” limits are halved, rounding All “0–X Items per Army” limits are doubled.
fractions up.
The usual board size is 36″ wide and 48″ deep. Adapt the board size to the size of the game.
8.D How to Read Unit Entries

Every unit in the game has a certain set of Characteristics and possibly optional or mandatory upgrades, and, as
explained above, every unit is part of an Army Category. In addition, the models in that unit may be equipped with
particular weapons and armour, and they may have one or more Model Rules, as you will learn in later chapters of
this Rulebook (see “ ”, page ).
Every unit is represented by its unit entry in its Army Book, and these unit entries contain all the information
pertaining to that unit, including the data above as well as further information like Model Type and Height, base size,
restrictions regarding the number of models or certain equipment, and so on.
This section will explain how the most common information in unit entries is presented in the Army Books of T9A.
8.D.a Common Unit Entries

Unit entries usually consist of a header, the unit profile, and options, as illustrated in figure .

1 – Unit name 3 – Unit size 5 – Scoring 7 – Model specifications
Tin Men Height Standard

Type Infantry
2 – Army Category 4 – Unit cost 6 – Unit cap
Figure 12: Header of a common unit entry.
1 – Unit name
This is the name of the unit that will be used e.g. when choosing the unit to perform an action like Charging, or when
targeting the unit with a spell or a Shooting Attack.
2 – Army Category
Every unit is part of an Army Category, like Characters, Core, or Special, which is important e.g. for building an army
or for certain Model Rules. Each Army Category is represented by an icon that corresponds to the respective Army
Category as shown in each Army Book’s section on Army Organisation.
Note that some units may belong to more than one Army Category (see “ ”, page ). In this case the
icons of all these Army Categories will be depicted.
3 – Unit size
The unit size tells you the minimum and the maximum size of the unit when building an army. The minimum unit
size corresponds to the number of models that the unit must contain at least. And accordingly, the maximum unit
size represents the number of models that the unit can consist of at the most.
In the example in figure , a unit of Tin Men must consist of at least 15 models when building the army, while you
can add up to 35 models, attaining the unit’s maximum size of 50 models.
4 – Unit cost
The unit cost tells you how many points you have to pay for adding the unit to your army in its minimum size, and
how many points each additional model will cost. For some units in the game, an additional model will cost the same
amount of points as a model that is part of the unit’s minimum size, while for others additional models may be more
or less expensive than the initial models.
In the example in figure , a unit of Tin Men consisting of the minimum size of 15 models will cost 120 points, while
each additional Tin Man model will cost 10 points. So for instance a unit of 25 Tin Men will cost a total of 220 points
(120 points for the first 15 models and 100 pts for the 10 additional models).
5 – Scoring
Some units have a certain Model Rule called Scoring, which is relevant for winning Secondary Objectives during the
game (see “ ”, page and “ ”, page ). Units with this Model Rule will be marked with a
pennant icon.
6 – Unit cap
Certain units can only be selected a limited number of times in an army. In this case you will find a “0–X Units/Army”
cap in the unit entry. In the example, an army may contain up to two units Tin Men, regardless of their size, equipment,
etc.
7 – Model specifications
Every model in the game has a specific Height, Type, and base size, which are relevant for a wide variety of game
mechanics and Model Rules.
26
8.D.a.2 Unit Profile
The unit profile contains the models’ Characteristic Profiles and Model Rules, including their mundane equipment
(see figure ).
8 – Characteristic Profiles 9 – Model Rules

Defensive HP Def Res Arm
1 4 4 2 Light Armour
1 4 3 0 3 Tin Man’s Heart, Halberd
Figure 13: Unit profile of a common unit entry.
8 – Characteristic Profiles
The Characteristic Profiles of each unit entry contain the values of all of a unit’s Global, Defensive, and Offensive
Characteristics. Note that the values displayed here represent the models’ unmodified Characteristic values, excluding
any modifiers e.g. from Model Rules and equipment:
• For instance, in case of Armour, the Characteristic value displayed here represents the models’ innate armour
(granted e.g. from scales or a tough hide). Any armour from Armour Equipment, like Light Armour in the
example above, will have to be added on top of the Armour value displayed in the Defensive Profile. In
this example, the models will have an Armour of 3 (2 from the models’ innate armour and 1 from their Light
Armour), which will give them a 4+ Armour Save against attacks without any Armour Penetration (see “
”, page ).
• The profile also displays the models’ unmodified Strength and Armour Penetration. Any Strength and Armour
Penetration modifiers, e.g. from weapons, will have to be added on top. In our example, the models’ Close
Combat Attacks will have a Strength value of 4 and an Armour Penetration value of 1, due to the innate Strength
of 3 and the +1 Strength and Armour Penetration modifiers from the Halberds the models are equipped with.
9 – Model Rules
In this part of the unit entry, the unit’s Model Rules are displayed:
• The Global Model Rules comprise the unit’s Universal Rules (in alphabetical order).
• The Defensive Model Rules comprise the unit’s Personal Protections and Armour Equipment. In case a unit
has more than one Model Rule from these categories, Personal Protections will be listed first (in alphabetical
order), followed by the unit’s Armour Equipment (in alphabetical order).
• The Offensive Model Rules comprise the unit’s Attack Attributes, Special Attacks, and weapons. In case a unit
has more than one Model Rule from these categories, Attack Attributes and Special Attacks will be listed first
(in alphabetical order), followed by the unit’s weapons (in alphabetical order).
In some unit entries, you will notice certain Model Rules in bold, like Tin Man’s Heart in the example above. Bold
font is used here to highlight army-specific Model Rules that are defined in the unit entry.
27
8.D.a.3 Options
In this part of the unit profile illustrated in figure , you will find all the optional and mandatory upgrades that can
be bought for a unit when building the army.

Figure 14: Options in a common unit entry.
10 – Command Group options

Certain units have one or more Command Group Options in their unit entry, which allow them to upgrade one model
of the unit to a Champion, another model to a Musician, and another model to a Standard Bearer. This means that a
single R&F model cannot be upgraded to be a Musician and a Standard Bearer at the same time. In addition, each
unit can only upgrade models to a single Champion, a single Musician, and a single Standard Bearer.
Note that upgrading the unit with a Champion/Musician/Standard Bearer does not grant you extra models for the
unit as you upgrade models that are already part of the unit.
Some Command Group models have additional options for upgrades, for instance the Standard Bearer in the example
above can purchase a Banner Enchantment. These options are listed indented underneath the corresponding
Command Group model. In order to have access to such an additional upgrade, you must first upgrade a model to
the corresponding Command Group model, and only then you can buy the upgrade for that model.
11 – Unrestricted options
Many units have options to upgrade their models with weapons, armour, certain Model Rules, etc. In some cases, the
Point Cost per unit is indicated, regardless of the number of models, while in others, like in the example above, the
unit entry gives the Point Cost per model.
Note that if you choose to buy such an upgrade, you must always upgrade all models of the unit accordingly.
12 – Restricted options
Certain options may come with restrictions. These may for instance be associated with an altered maximum number
of models per unit (in the example above 25 instead of 50), or with a restriction regarding the number of units with
the upgrade an army may contain (up to 2 units in the example above). Another possible restriction is an upper limit
on the total number of models with a given upgrade per army. In this case, the sum of all models of all units with that
upgrade in the army may not exceed that upper limit.
Other options cannot be combined with one another. These are listed indented underneath “One choice only” in
the unit entry. In the example above, the models in the unit may be upgraded either with Shields or with Paired
Weapons, they may however not gain Shields and Paired Weapons.
In case there are several groups of these “One choice only” upgrades for a unit, the unit may be given up to one choice
of each group.
13 – Model Rules
In case a unit profile contains any unit-specific Model Rules, these rules will be explained in this part of the unit
entry.
8.D.b Complex Unit Entries

In addition to the elements detailed above, certain units may have additional distinctive features that will be explained
based on the Character unit entry in figure .

Figure 15: Character unit entry.
a) Certain units, like Characters, consist only of a single model. These units are labelled as “single model” units. They
follow the same rules as units consisting of multiple models, but there may be certain differences, like Characters
being able to join other units.
b) Just like regular units, Characters may have a unit cap. This cap applies to all Characters of this type, regardless of
their upgrades, equipment, and mounts. In this example, this means that you can only have up to 3 Wicked Witches
in your army, e.g. one of them on foot and two on Witches’ Brooms.
c) Models that can cast spells are referred to as Wizards. Wizards come in 3 different types: Wizard Apprentice,
Adept, and Master. The Model Rules tell you which Wizard type the model has by default (in this example, the Wicked
Witch is a Wizard Apprentice), while the Magic Options show you which types the model can be upgraded to. In case
you upgrade your Wizard, the upgrade replaces the default Wizard type. In addition, you will also find in this section
the Paths that the Wizard has to choose a single one from. The Wizard will select its spells from this chosen Path
(see “ ”, page ).
d) Certain models, like most Characters, have access to Weapon Enchantments, Armour Enchantments, Artefacts, etc.
These upgrades are referred to as Special Items (see “ ”, page and The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles –
Arcane Compendium). If a model can buy Special Items, you will find this information in the unit entry’s options,
together with the maximum amount of points a model can spend on them.
e) Characters are usually on foot by default. Most of them can however be given a mount. The Mount Options will tell
you which mounts are available for a Character and how many points you have to pay for them. Note that a Character
may always only take a single mount.
f) As explained above, unit entries will contain unit-specific Model Rules. In addition, you will sometimes also find
Optional Model Rules. In order to gain these Model Rules, you must buy the corresponding upgrade for the model.

8.D.c Unit Entries with Multipart Models
The examples above show entries of units with models consisting of a single model part, but there are also many
Multipart Models in the game (see “ ”, page ). The unit entry of a Character Mount, the Winged
Monkey Chariot from the example in figure , will be used to explain the particularities of this type of unit entry.
Height Large
Winged Monkey Chariot a Type Construct
0–1 Mounts/Army Base 50×100 mm
Ground 2″ 2″ C b Fly (9″, 9″), Light Troops, Swiftstride

Fly 9″ 9″
4 C 4 C+1 Hard Target (1)

Crew (2) 1 4 3 0 5 Light Lance

c Winged Monkey (2) 2 4 4 1 4 Harnessed, Hatred
Chassis 5 2 Impact Hits (D6), Inanimate
Figure 16: Unit entry of a Multipart Model.
a) Like for any other unit entry, there may be restrictions on the number of Character Mounts that can be part of an
army. In the example above, the army may only contain up to a single Character, regardless of the type, on a Winged
Monkey Chariot. This restriction only applies to Character mounts, so if an Army Book contains the Character mount
additionally as a unit in another Army Category, you are allowed to take this unit in addition to the Character mount
in your army.
b) In case of a Multipart Model Character, many of a model’s Characteristic values will be determined by the mount’s
Characteristics, unless they are marked with “C” or “C+X” in the mount’s profile (see “
”, page ), which refers to the value in the Character’s profile. In this example, the mount does not have a
proper Discipline Value, but the Multipart Model uses the Character’s Discipline, which is 8.
c) Models consisting of a single model part have one Global, Defensive, and Offensive Profile each. Multipart Models
also have one Global and Defensive Profile each, which apply to the entire Multipart Model. However, they do have a
separate Offensive Profile for each identical model part. The mount above has 5 model parts: 2 Crew members and 2
Winged Monkey’s (as indicated by the “2” in brackets) and a Chassis, which all have their own Offensive Profile.

8.E Hidden and Open Lists
Rules are written and balanced based on the principle of openness, and we encourage players to share their full
Army Lists with their opponents at the start of the game. This Army List should include all units, unit options, Special
Items, special abilities, Point Costs, and so on. The only things that are not open to your opponent are things that are
explicitly stated as hidden or secret.
8.E.a Optional Rules for Hidden Lists

Some players may prefer to use so-called hidden lists, and for those players we have included the hidden list
rules. Please note that the game is not balanced with these rules in mind. In this format, most of your Army
List will be open, meaning that your opponent should know what your army consists of before the game starts.
However, some parts of your army are secret or “hidden”. Both players should provide their opponent with the
open part of their army before the game begins, referred to as a mundane Army List.
The following elements are included in the hidden part of your army:
• Special Items that are picked from the List of Common Special Items given in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles
– Arcane Compendium
• Special Items that are specific to Army Books, as well as any option that follows the rules for Special Items
such as Daemonic Items and Dwarven Runic Items
Anything not on this list belongs to the mundane Army List.
If an army has two or more units or models that are identical regarding their open part but have hidden
differences, the player must be able to tell the units apart in the hidden list. For example if a player fields two
units identical in every way except that one has an enchanted banner and the other doesn’t, the Army List may
specify that the unit with the enchanted banner has a red banner while the unit with a blue banner possesses
no such Special Item.
8.E.a.1 Revealing Special Items

Special Items (or similar) must be revealed the first time they are used. A Special Item is considered as being
used when it affects or could affect the game in any way. For example:
• It affects a dice roll (even if the actual result of the dice has no effect).
• It alters an attack (such as an enchanted weapon, or any Special Item with a rule that affects an attack).
• It alters a saving roll (reveal the Special Item before making the saving roll). Note that a Special Item
that affects the saving roll the same way as the non-Enchanted counterpart would does not need to be
revealed.
A Special Item that increases movement only counts as being used if the unit moves farther than it could without
it or when Charging (declare that you have the Special Item before rolling the Charge Range but after Charge
Reactions are resolved).
When revealing Dwarven Runic Items, only reveal the Rune that is being used, not the entire combined item.

9 Pre-Game Sequence
When setting up a game of The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles, players need to go through the following steps, referred to
as the Pre-Game Sequence:
1 Decide on the size of the game

2 Share your Army List with your opponent
3 Build the Battlefield
4 Determine the Deployment Type
5 Determine the Secondary Objective
6 Determine the Deployment Zones
7 Select Spells
8 Declare Special Deployment
9 Deployment Phase
9.A Size of the Game

In The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles, two armies opposing each other on the Battlefield must have roughly the same
Point Cost. This is to ensure that the battle will be decided through clever strategies and tactics rather than unfair
differences in army size.
The first step to setting up a game is to agree on the Army Points (see “ ”, page ), which will determine
the size of the game. The size of the game is typically between 1500 and 3000 points for small engagements, between
3000 and 8000 points for serious battles, and beyond 8000 points for mighty clashes between epic armies. For an
optimal gaming experience, we recommend playing at 4500 points.
9.B Sharing Army Lists

After deciding on the size of the game, the next step is for both players to swap Army Lists and share all relevant
information about the upcoming game.
Alternatively, players may agree to keep certain aspects about their armies secret, which they will progressively
reveal during the course of the game. For more information please see “ ”, page .
32
9.C Building the Battlefield
The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles is intended to be played on a board that is 72″ wide and 48″ deep. For smaller battles
involving Warbands, we recommend playing on a board that is 36″ wide and 48″ deep (half the standard board),
while for bigger games involving Grand Armies we recommend that the players increase the size of the board as they
see fit in order to accommodate the larger armies.
While some battles may take place on a completely open board, a Battlefield typically has Terrain Features placed
upon it (see “ ”, page ). These pieces of Terrain could represent exactly what they are, but they could also
be representations of far greater things for the purpose of the game. So a copse of trees could represent a forest, a
stream could actually be a wide river, a single house could denote a hamlet, and a tower could represent a keep. The
players can freely agree on the size, type, and number of Terrain Features to be placed, as well as their positions. If
an agreement cannot be reached, the game provides the following default rules for setting up a randomly generated
Battlefield.
1 Divide the board into 24×24″ sections (18×24″ if the board is 36×48″).
Place the following Terrain Features in the centre of three different randomly selected sections:
• One Impassable Terrain
2 • One Hill
• One Forest
3 Move each Terrain Feature 2D6″ in a random direction.
Add 2D3 additional Terrain Features in the centre of different randomly selected sections (1D3
4 if the board is 36×48″, 3D3 or more for boards larger than 72×48″). Roll 2D6 and consult the
table below to determine the type of each additional Terrain Feature.
5 Move each additional Terrain Feature 2D6″ in a random direction.
2–4 5 6 7 8 9–10 11–12

Hill Water Terrain Field Forest Ruins Impassable Terrain Wall
• Terrain Features cannot be moved to be closer than 6″ from each other. You may move them as little as possible
from their rolled position in order to meet this criterion. If it is not possible to place the Terrain Feature more
than 6″ away from any other Terrain then discard the problematic piece.
• Recommended Terrain Feature sizes are between 6×8″ and 6×10″, except for Walls, which are 1×8″, and
Impassable Terrain, which is between 6×6″ and 6×8″.
9.D Deployment Types

If no outside source tells you what Deployment Type to use (e.g. tournament organiser, campaign rules, etc.), players
may agree on a Deployment Type. Otherwise randomise by rolling a D6 and consulting the list below.
Certain Deployment Types refer to the Centre Line. This is the line drawn through the centre of the board and
parallel to the long Board Edges, dividing the board into halves.
1: Frontline Clash >12″
Deployment Zones are areas more than 12″ away from the Centre Line. >12″
33
2: Dawn Assault
The player choosing the Deployment Zone also chooses a short Board Edge >1/4
and the other player gets the opposite short Board Edge. Deployment Zones (>18″)
are areas more than 12″ away from the Centre Line and more than 1/4 of the >12″
board’s length from the opponent’s short Board Edge (18″ on a 72″ board).
>12″
When declaring Special Deployment, players may choose to keep up to two >1/4
of their units as reinforcement. These units follow the rules for ing (>18″)
units, except that they must be placed touching the owner’s short Board Edge
when they arrive.
3: Counterthrust
Deployment Zones are areas more than 8″ away from the Centre Line. Units
must be deployed more than 20″ away from enemy units. During their first 3 >8″ >20″
deployment turns, each player must deploy a single unit, and cannot deploy >8″
any Characters.
Units using Special Deployment, such as , ignore these restrictions and
follow their Special Deployment rules.
4: Encircle
>1/4 Attacker >1/4
The player choosing the Deployment Zone decides if they want to be the (>18″) (>18″)
attacker or the defender. The attacker must deploy more than 9″ from the >9″ >15″ >9″
Centre Line if entirely within a quarter of the board’s length from either short
Board Edge (18″ on a 72″ board), and more than 15″ from the Centre Line >9″
>15″ >15″
elsewhere. The defender does the opposite: more than 15″ away from the
Centre Line if within a quarter of the board’s length from the short Board Edge, Defender
and more than 9″ away from the Centre Line elsewhere.
5: Refused Flank
The board is divided into halves by a diagonal line across the board. Whoever
gets to choose the Deployment Zone decides which diagonal to use. Deploy- >9″
ment Zones are areas more than 9″ away from this line. >9″
6: Marching Columns
Deployment Zones are areas more than 12″ away from the Centre Line.
Each player must choose a short Board Edge when deploying their first unit.
Each unit this player deploys afterwards must be deployed with its Centre
farther away from the chosen short Board Edge than the Centre of the last
unit this player deployed (measure from the closest point on the short Board
Edge). , , , and units ignore
these rules.
During their first 3 deployment turns, each player must deploy a single unit,
and cannot deploy any Characters, , or . 12″
Instead of deploying a unit, a player may choose to make all their undeployed
units Delayed that are not using Special Deployment. Delayed units follow the 12″
rules for Ambushing units with the following exceptions: 3 1
• In each Player Turn, after rolling for all units, the Reactive 5
4
2
Player chooses the order in which all Delayed units that passed the 3+
roll enter the Battlefield.
• In the chosen order, each unit must be placed one after the other with
the centre of its rear rank as close as possible to the centre of the long
Board Edge in their owner’s Deployment Zone, before any non-Delayed
Ambushers are placed on the Battlefield.
• After all arriving units have been placed, they can be moved as described
in the rules for Ambush (see page ).
34
9.E Secondary Objectives
Once the Deployment Type is established, determine the Secondary Objective. If no outside source tells you which
one to use (e.g. tournament organiser, campaign rule, etc.), players may agree on a Secondary Objective. Otherwise,
randomise by rolling a D6 and consulting the list below. See “ ”, page for more details on how
capturing an objective affects who is the winner.
1: Hold the Ground

Secure and hold the centre of Battlefield.
Mark the centre of the board.
At the end of each Game Turn after the first, the player with the most within 6″ of the centre of the
board gains a counter. At the end of the game, the player with the most such counters wins this Secondary Objective.
2: Breakthrough
Invade the enemy territory.
The player with the most inside their opponent’s Deployment Zone at the end of the game, up to a
maximum of 3, wins this Secondary Objective.
3: Spoils of War
Gather precious loot.
Place 3 markers along the line dividing the board into halves (the dashed line in the figures describing Deployment
Types). One marker is placed with its centre on a point on this line that is as close as possible to the centre of the
board while still being more than 1″ away from Impassable Terrain. The other two markers are placed with their
centres on points on this line that are on either side of the central marker, as close to the centre of the board as
possible but at least a third of the length of the long Board Edge (24″ on a standard board) away from it, and more
than 1″ away from Impassable Terrain.
At the start of each of your Player Turns, each of your Scoring units that is not carrying a marker may pick up a single
marker whose centre they are in contact with. Remove the marker from the Battlefield: the unit is now carrying
the marker. Units carrying a marker with less than 3 cannot perform March Moves. If a unit carrying a
marker is destroyed or loses , the opponent must immediately place the marker carried by this unit with its
centre on a point within 3″ of it. Ignore for this purpose. This point cannot be within 1″ of
Impassable Terrain, but it can be inside a unit.
At the end of the game, the player with the most units carrying markers wins this Secondary Objective.
4: King of the Hill

Desecrate your opponent’s holy ground while protecting yours.
After Spell Selection (at the end of step 7 of the Pre-Game Sequence), both players choose a Terrain Feature that
isn’t Impassable Terrain and that is not fully inside their Deployment Zone, starting with the player that chose their
Deployment Zone (note that both players may choose the same Terrain Feature).
A player captures their opponent’s chosen Terrain Feature if any of the player’s are inside that Terrain
Feature at the end of the game. If a player captures their opponent’s chosen Terrain Feature while not allowing their
own to be captured, they win this Secondary Objective.
5: Capture the Flags

Valuable targets must be annihilated.
After Spell Selection (at the end of step 7 of the Pre-Game Sequence), mark all on both players’ Army
Lists. If either player has less than 3 marked units, their opponent must mark enough units from this player’s Army
List so that there are exactly 3 marked units in the army, starting with the player that chose their Deployment Zone.
The player that has the lowest number of their marked units removed as casualties at the end of the game wins this
Secondary Objective.
35
6: Secure Target
Critical resources must not fall into enemy hands.
Directly after determining Deployment Zones, both players place one marker on the Battlefield, starting with the
player that chose their Deployment Zone. Each player must place the marker with its centre on a point that is more
than 12″ away from their Deployment Zone and a third of the long Board Edge length (24″ on a standard board)
from the point marked by the other marker.
At the end of the game, the player controlling the most markers wins this Secondary Objective. A marker is controlled
by the player with the most Scoring Units within 6″ of the centre of the marker. If a unit is within 6″ of the centres of
both markers, it only counts as within 6″ of the centre of the marker which is closest to its Centre (randomise if both
markers’ centres are equally close).
9.F Deployment Zones

After the Secondary Objective is determined, both players roll a D6. The player that rolls higher chooses their
Deployment Zone and follows the Deployment Type specific instructions if applicable. In case of a tie, roll again.
9.G Spell Selection

Starting with the player that chose their Deployment Zone, each player must now select spells for their Wizards, one
at a time. All Magic Paths can be found in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles – Arcane Compendium. Hereditary Spells can
be found in the corresponding Army Books.
9.G.a Wizard Apprentice

• Knows 1 spell
• Can select between the Learned Spell 1 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army
9.G.b Wizard Adept

• Knows 2 different spells
• Can select from the Learned Spells 1, 2, 3, and 4 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army
9.G.c Wizard Master

• Knows 4 different spells
• Can select from the Learned Spells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army
9.H Declaring Special Deployment

Starting with the player that chose their Deployment Zone, each player must nominate which units with Special
Deployment options (such as or ) will use their Special Deployment, or if they will deploy using the
normal rules.
36
10 Deployment Phase
10.A Deployment Phase Sequence
1 Determine who deploys first

2 Take turns deploying units
3 Declare intent to go first or second
4 Deploy remaining units
5 Deploy units (starting with the player who finished deploying first)
6 Move units (starting with the player who finished deploying last)
7 Other rules and abilities
8 Roll for first turn
10.B Determine Who Deploys First

The player who did not choose the Deployment Zone decides which player deploys first.
10.C Deploy Units

The players then take turns deploying their units fully inside their own Deployment Zone. On each of their deployment
turns, a player can deploy any number of units, but must deploy at least one unit. All Characters count as a single
unit during the Deployment Phase and must all be deployed during the same deployment turn.
10.D Declare Intent to Go First or Second

Once a player has deployed all of their units (excluding units that are deployed with alternative rules, such as
or units), that player must announce whether they will play first or second should they win the
Roll for First Turn.
10.E Deploy Remaining Units

The other player must now deploy the rest of their units. The number of units deployed in this step is called the
Undeployed Units Number and will be used in the Roll for First Turn. As before, all remaining count as
one unit when deployed.
10.E.a Undeployable Units

In the unlikely event that a unit cannot be deployed during the Deployment Phase for whatever reason (e.g. if there is
not enough space in the player’s Deployment Zone), the unit counts as destroyed, unless specifically stated otherwise.
10.F Deploy Scouting Units

Both players deploy their units that have been nominated to use their Scout rules during “
”, page , starting with the player who first completed their normal deployment (see “ ”, page ).
37
10.G Move Vanguarding Units
Both players move their units with Vanguard (see “ ”, page ), starting with the player who finished
deploying last.
10.H Other Rules And Abilities

Put into effect all rules and abilities described as taking place right before the battle.
10.I Roll For First Turn

Both players must now roll a D6. The player that finished deploying first adds the Undeployed Units Number to their
dice roll.
• If the player who finished deploying first scores a higher result, they play first or second, whichever they
previously declared.
• If the score is a tie or the player who finished deploying second scores a higher result, that player can now
choose which player has the first turn.
38
11 Charge Phase
The Charge Phase is when the Active Player has the chance to move their units into combat with enemy units.
Declaring a Charge and then performing a successful Charge Move is usually the only way to engage an enemy unit in
combat.
11.A Charge Phase Sequence

The Charge Phase is divided into the following steps:
1 Start of the Charge Phase (and start of the Player Turn)

2 The Active Player chooses a unit and declares a Charge
3 The Reactive Player declares and resolves their Charge Reaction
4 Repeat steps 2–3 of this sequence until all units that wish to declare a Charge have done so
The Active Player chooses a unit that declared a Charge, then rolls for Charge Range, and moves
5
the unit
6 Repeat step 5 of this sequence until all units that declared a Charge have moved
7 End of the Charge Phase
See figures and , page and , for the illustration of a Charge Phase with several units Charging enemy units
and those enemy units declaring and performing their Charge Reactions.
11.B Declaring Charges

Select one of your units that is not already Charging, Engaged in Combat, Fleeing, or contains any Shaken models
and declare which enemy unit it will Charge. Each time the Active Player declares a Charge, the Reactive Player must
declare the Charged unit’s Charge Reaction. In order to be able to declare a Charge:
• At least one model in the Charging unit’s first rank must be able to draw Line of Sight to the Charged unit’s
Unit Boundary.
• The Charged unit must be within the Charging unit’s maximum potential Charge Range (which usually is the
Charging unit’s Advance Rate + 12″).
• There must be enough room to move the Charging unit into base contact with the Charged unit.
When determining if there is enough room for the Charging unit:
• Take into account already declared Charges (including align moves of Charging and Charged units)
• Do not take into account any potential Flee Charge Reactions (including mandatory ones)
• Do not take into account any potential casualties inflicted to the Charging unit (e.g. by Stand and Shoot Charge
Reactions or failed Dangerous Terrain Tests)
• Do not take into account any potential Combat Reforms due to
The unit declaring a Charge is now considered Charging until it has:
• Finished its First Round of Combat after making a Charge Move
• Successfully Charged a Fleeing unit
• Performed a
• Failed a Panic Test before completing the Charge Move
• Been subject to the rules for
39
11.C Charge Reactions
Before declaring a Charge Reaction, determine in which Facing the unit will be Charged. This is determined by the
unit’s Arc which the Charging unit is (see figure ).
a) b)
Figure 17: Front or Flank?
A B A

rge!
Cha
b) The Charging unit must contact the Charged unit’s
Front Facing.
B
A unit must declare and then resolve its Charge Reaction immediately after a Charge is declared against it and the
Facing in which it will be Charged is determined, before any further Charges are declared. There are three different
Charge Reactions: “Hold”, “Stand and Shoot”, and “Flee”.
11.C.a Hold
A Hold Charge Reaction means that the unit does nothing.
Units Engaged in Combat can only choose to declare the Hold Charge Reaction.
11.C.b Stand and Shoot

A Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction means that the Charged unit immediately performs a Shooting Attack as if in
the Shooting Phase, even if the enemy is beyond the attack’s maximum range. In this case, the Charging unit is
considered to be at Long Range for the Shooting Attack. Remember to apply any modifiers like Long Range and
Stand and Shoot. After this, follow the rules for Hold Charge Reactions.
A Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction can only be taken if all of the following conditions are met:
• The Charged unit can perform Shooting Attacks.
• The Charging unit is Located in the Charged unit’s Front Arc.
• The Charging unit is farther away than its Advance Rate; use the lowest value among the Charging models if it
has more than one.
Units can only choose to declare a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction once per Player Turn (even if they are Charged
more than once).
11.C.c Flee
A Flee Charge Reaction means that the Charged unit starts Fleeing. It is immediately Pivoted to face directly away
from the Charging enemy (along a line drawn from the Centre of the Charging unit through the Centre of the Charged
unit) and performs a Flee Move (see “ ”, page ). After a unit completes this Flee Move, any unit that
declared a Charge against this unit may immediately attempt to Redirect the Charge.
If the Fleeing unit’s Front Facing comes into contact with any unit that declared a Charge against it in this phase
(regardless whether the enemy unit Redirected its Charge), the Fleeing unit is removed as a casualty.
Units already Fleeing when Charged can only choose to declare a Flee Charge Reaction.
40
11.D Redirecting a Charge
After a unit declares a Flee Charge Reaction, the Charging unit may attempt to Redirect the Charge by rolling a
Discipline Test. If failed, the unit will try to complete the Charge against the unit that Fled. If passed, the unit may
immediately declare a new Charge against another viable target unit, which may choose their Charge Reaction as
normal. If more than one unit declared a Charge against the Fleeing unit, each may attempt to Redirect the Charge in
any order chosen by the Active Player. If a unit Redirects a Charge and the second target also Flees, the Charging unit
may opt to Charge either target, but must declare which before rolling the Charge Range.
Units can only attempt to Redirect a Charge once per Player Turn.
11.E Move Chargers

After all Charges have been declared and all Charge Reactions have been declared and completed, Chargers will
attempt to move into combat. Choose a unit that has declared a Charge in this phase, roll its Charge Range, and then
perform the Charge Move. Repeat these steps with all units that have declared a Charge in this phase.
11.E.a Charge Range

A unit’s Charge Range is normally 2D6″ plus the unit’s Advance Rate, using the lowest Advance Rate among the unit’s
models.
• If the Charge Range is equal to or higher than the distance between the Charger and the Charged unit, and if
there is enough space to complete the Charge, the Charge is successful and the Charger performs a Charge
Move.
• If the Charge Range is less than the distance between the Charger and the Charged unit, or if there is not
enough space to complete the Charge (see “ ”, page ), the Charge has failed and the Charger
performs a Failed Charge Move.
11.E.b Charge Move

A Charge Move is resolved as follows:
• The unit can move forwards an unlimited distance.
• A single can be performed during the move (remember a Wheel may not exceed 90°).
• The Front Facing of the Charging unit must contact the Charged unit in the Arc determined when declaring the
Charge Reaction.
• The Charging unit is allowed to come within 0.5″ of other units and Impassable Terrain as per the Unit Spacing
rule. It can only move into base contact with an enemy unit that it declared a Charge against (remember that it
is allowed to come into base contact with friendly units and Impassable Terrain).
11.E.c Aligning Units

After the Charger manages to move into base contact with the Charged unit, the units must now be aligned towards
each other. An align move is performed as follows:
The Active Player rotates the Charging unit around the point where it contacted the enemy (see
1 figure ), so that the Charging unit’s Front Facing and the Charged unit’s Facing in which it was
contacted are parallel.
If this will not align the two units properly, for example due to interfering Terrain or other units,
2 players may rotate the Charged unit instead if this will achieve proper contact between them, or
do a combination of the two, rotating the enemy unit as little as possible.
The Charged unit must only be moved if it is the only way to align the units. Units can never be moved if they are
already Engaged in Combat. These moves are considered part of the Charge Move, so they may bring the units within
0.5″ of other units and Impassable Terrain as per the Unit Spacing rule. A unit that is forced to make an align move
when it is Charged never has to take Dangerous Terrain Tests due to this move.
41
11.E.d Maximising Contact
Charge Moves must be made so the following conditions are satisfied as best as possible, in decreasing priority order.
• 1st priority: Make contact with no enemy units other than the one that was Charged. If it will be unavoidable
to make contact with more than one enemy unit, make contact with as few enemy units as possible. Follow the
rules for Multiple Charges.
• 2nd priority: Maximise the total number of Charging units that make contact (note that this is only applicable
when multiple units Charge the same unit).
• 3rd priority: Avoid rotating the Charged unit (see “ ”, page ). If it is unavoidable, rotate the unit
as little as possible. Remember that units Engaged in Combat cannot be rotated.
• 4th priority: Maximise the number of models (on both sides) in base contact with at least one enemy model
(including models fighting across gaps).
If it is unavoidable to break one or more of the above conditions, you must avoid breaking the higher priority order
conditions, even if this means the total number of conditions you break is higher. As long as all above conditions are
satisfied as best is possible, Charging units are free to move as they please (following the rules for Moving Chargers).

4. The number of models is maximised. A total of 12 (5 vs 7) models is in base contact with one or more enemy
models, which is more than b1). This is irrelevant though since the Charge is illegal due to the Charged unit being
rotated
42
11.E.e Multiple Charges
If it will be unavoidable for a Charging unit to contact more than one enemy unit during the Charge Move, the rules
for Multiple Charges are applied when declaring Charges:
• First declare a Charge against a single initial target as normal.
• If the initial target of the Charge declares a Charge Reaction other than Flee, the Charging unit must, after the
initial target has declared and resolved its Charge Reaction, successively declare secondary Charges against all
enemy units it cannot avoid contacting, in an order chosen by the Active Player.
• The targets of secondary Charges declare and perform Charge Reactions as normal.
• If the initial target of the Charge Flees or is destroyed before the Charging unit is moved, ignore all secondary
Charges and treat the Charge as a normal Charge against the initial target only.
• If a target of a secondary Charge Flees, the Charging unit is not allowed to redirect the Charge, unless the initial
target also Flees.
• If a Multiple Charge no longer is unavoidable after all Charges have been declared and after all Charge Reactions
have been performed, ignore all secondary Charges and treat the Charge as a normal Charge against the initial
target only.
Note that if contacting more than one enemy unit becomes unavoidable only after all Charges have been declared
and all Charge Reactions have been performed, the rules for Multiple Charges do not apply and the Charging unit
performs a Failed Charge Move.
See figure for examples in which the rules for Multiple Charges apply.
11.E.f Combined Charges

When more than one unit has declared a Charge against the same enemy unit, Chargers are moved in a slightly
different order:
1 Roll Charge Range for each unit Charging that same unit before moving any of them.
Check which units would be able to reach their target (sufficiently high Charge Range rolls, no
2
other units blocking the Charge Move, etc.).
Perform the Charge Moves of all Charging units (including those failing their Charge) in the
3
order that best satisfies the priority order of the Maximising Contact rule.
11.E.g Engaged in Combat

As soon as a unit completes a Charge, it is Engaged in Combat: units are considered Engaged in Combat (or short
Engaged) as long as one or more models in the unit are in base contact and aligned with an enemy unit. In addition,
if a unit is Engaged at the start of a Round of Combat, it counts as Engaged until the start of step 7 of the Round of
Combat Sequence (before calculating Combat Score and taking Break Tests, even if it loses base contact with all
enemy units before then).
If a unit is Engaged in Combat, all models in the unit are also considered to be Engaged in Combat. Units that are
Engaged in Combat cannot move unless specifically stated otherwise (such as during or when
).
11.E.h Charging a Fleeing Unit

When Charging a Fleeing unit, follow the rules for Charge Moves, except that the Charging unit can move into contact
with any Facing of the Charged unit. Do not align or maximise base contact. Once the Charger makes contact with
the Fleeing unit, the Fleeing unit is removed as a casualty. Once the Fleeing unit has been removed, the Charging unit
can take a Discipline Test. If the test it passed, the unit may perform a manoeuvre.
A unit that has Charged a Fleeing unit is until the end of the Player Turn.

a) When Charging unit D in the Front Facing, unit A cannot avoid contacting unit C, so the rules for Multiple Charges
apply. Unit A declares a Charge against D as its initial target and a secondary Charge against C. Both Charged units
have to Hold as they are already Engaged in Combat.
b) Units B, C, and D are aligned and in base contact with one another (this situation may arise if all 3 units had
previously Charged and destroyed an enemy unit). Unit A cannot avoid contacting more than one enemy unit when
charging unit C, so the rules for Multiple Charges apply. As per the rules for Maximising Contact as few enemy units
as possible must be contacted (1st priority), so A must declare a secondary Charge against either unit B or unit D. In
case neither unit C nor the target of the secondary Charge Flee as a Charge Reaction, A moves into contact with both
units, maximising the number of models in base contact according to the 4th priority (position 1 in case unit B was
Charged, position 2 in case unit D was Charged).

11.E.i Impossible Charge
Sometimes units block each other from reaching combat when moving the Chargers (or there is not enough space to
fit all Chargers). When this happens, the units that can no longer make it into combat must make a Failed Charge
Move.
11.E.j Failed Charge

When a unit does not roll a sufficient Charge Range, or is otherwise unable to complete the Charge, it performs a
Failed Charge Move, comprising an initial Wheel followed by a straight forward move, as follows:
1 The move distance of a Failed Charge Move is equal to the highest D6 of the Charge Range roll.
Wheel the unit until it is facing directly towards the Centre of its intended target or if it was
2 destroyed, towards the final position of the Centre of the unit, or until it cannot Wheel anymore
due to obstructions (whichever comes first).
3 Move the unit straight forward the remaining move distance.
A Failed Charge Move may bring the unit within 0.5″ of other units and Impassable Terrain as per the Unit Spacing
rule.
Models in a unit that performs a Failed Charge Move are Shaken until the end of the Player Turn. Units that have
completed a Failed Charge Move are no longer considered Charging.
11.E.k Blocked Path

To prevent abusive situations where a unit cannot Charge an enemy unit well within Charge Range and Line of Sight
due to a convoluted positioning of enemy units, potentially in conjunction with Impassable Terrain, the following
rules are applied.
If, after declaring a Charge, a unit is unable to complete the Charge solely due to unengaged enemy units that it could
not Charge (normally), or due to the combination of at least 2 unengaged enemy units and one or more Impassable
Terrain Features, it can make a special Charge Move as described below.
Move the unit straight forward up to its Charge Range. If this brings the Charging unit into base contact with the
enemy unit against which the Charge was declared, that unit is Charged. Instead of Aligning Units as normal, the
enemy unit performs a Combat Reform to bring the units into alignment with each other (see “ ”,
page ). Combat Reform so that:
• The Charged Facing determined when declaring the Charge Reaction is aligned with the Charging unit.
• The Charging unit is Engaged in its Front Facing.
• The Charged unit does not change its number of ranks or files.
• The number of models (on both sides) in base contact with an enemy is maximised.
If it is not possible to align the units without changing the number of ranks or files, you may change the number of
ranks and files and do not have to maximise models in base contact. If the enemy unit is unable to perform a Combat
Reform to align the units, the Blocked Path Charge Move cannot be performed.

12 Movement Phase
In the Movement Phase you have the chance to move your units on the Battlefield.
12.A Movement Phase Sequence

The Movement Phase is divided into the following steps:
1 Start of the Movement Phase

2 Rally Fleeing units and perform any Flee Moves
Moving Units: Select one of your units, take a March Test if necessary, select a type of move
3
(Advance, March, Reform), then move the unit
4 Repeat step 3, each time choosing a new unit that has not yet moved in the Movement Phase
5 End of the Movement Phase
12.B Rallying Fleeing Units

In an order chosen by the Active Player, each friendly unit that was Fleeing at the start of the Player Turn must take a
Discipline Test, called a Rally Test:
• If the test is passed, the unit is no longer considered Fleeing and must immediately perform a ; models
in the unit are until the end of the Player Turn.
• If the test is failed, the unit immediately performs a Flee Move (straight forward).
Note that if the unit is Decimated (see “ ”, page ), the Rally Test will be taken at half Discipline, rounding
fractions up.
12.C Flee Moves

A Flee Move is performed as follows:
1 Roll the Flee Distance, which is normally 2D6″.

2 Move the Fleeing unit this distance straight forward.
• If the Flee Move takes the Fleeing unit into contact with the Board Edge, remove the unit as a casualty as soon
as it touches the Board Edge (possibly causing to nearby units).
• If this move would make the Fleeing unit end its move within 1″ of another unit’s Unit Boundary or Impassable
Terrain, extend the Flee Distance by the minimum distance required for the unit to get clear of all such
obstructions.
• If this move would make the Fleeing unit end its move inside another unit’s Unit Boundary or inside Impassable
Terrain, extend the Flee Distance by the minimum distance required for the unit to get clear of all such
obstructions.
• If Fleeing models move through the Unit Boundary of an enemy unit or Impassable Terrain, they must take a
Dangerous Terrain (3) Test (see “ ”, page ).
• If Fleeing models move through a friendly unit’s Unit Boundary, that unit must take a .
Note that Flee Moves are often preceded by a Pivot. This Pivot follows the same rules as the Flee Move.
50
12.D Moving Units
Choose one of your units to move that is not Charging, Engaged in Combat, Fleeing, or contains any models.
Then perform a March Test if necessary and choose what type of move this unit will perform, and move the unit. The
different types of move are Advance Move, March Move, and Reform. In order to affect a unit’s movement, effects
(like Universal Rules or movement modifiers) need to be present at the start of the unit’s movement.
Repeat this process, each time choosing a new unit that has not yet moved in the Movement Phase. Once all units
that can move (and want to) have done so, the Movement Phase ends.
12.D.a March Test

Just before moving a unit, if it is within 8″ of any non-Fleeing enemy units, the unit must take a Discipline Test, called
March Test:
• If the test is passed, the unit may proceed as normal.
• If the test is failed, the unit cannot perform a March Move during this Movement Phase (it can perform any
other type of move as normal, or choose not to move at all).
12.D.b Advance Move

When performing an Advance Move, a unit can move forwards, backwards, or sideways, but it cannot move in more
than one of these directions during an Advance Move:
• Forwards: The unit moves forwards a distance up to its Advance Rate. During a forward Advance Move, a unit
may perform any number of Wheels.
• Backwards: The unit moves backwards a distance up to half its Advance Rate (this is not considered a
Characteristic modifier). For example, a unit with Advance Rate 5″ could move backwards 2.5″.
• Sideways: The unit moves to either side a distance up to half its Advance Rate (this is not considered a
Characteristic modifier).
When performing an Advance Move, no model can end its movement with its centre farther away than its Advance
Rate from its starting position. If a model in the unit performed any action during the movement (such as a
), the distance moved is measured from the model’s starting position to the point on the Battlefield where it
performed that action and then to its final position.
12.D.c March Move

When performing a March Move:
• A unit can only move forwards, up to its March Rate.
• A unit may perform any number of Wheels.
• No model can end its movement with its centre farther away than its March Rate from its starting position. If a
model in the unit performed any action during the movement (such as a Sweeping Attack), the distance moved
is measured from the model’s starting position to the point on the Battlefield where it performed that action
and then to its final position.
A unit that has Marched cannot shoot in the following Shooting Phase.
12.D.d Reform
When performing a Reform:
1 Mark the Centre of the unit.

Remove the unit from the Battlefield, and then place it back on the Battlefield in any legal
2 formation and facing any direction (following the Unit Spacing rule), with its Centre in the same
place as before.
After the Reform, no model can end up with its centre farther away than its March Rate from its starting position. A
unit that has Reformed cannot shoot in the following Shooting Phase.
51
12.D.e Moving Single Model Units
Units consisting of a single model follow the rules for Moving Units stated above. In addition, they can perform any
number of Pivots during Advance Moves and March Moves.
12.E Pivots and Wheels

When performing a Pivot:
1 Mark the Centre of the unit.

Remove the unit from the Battlefield, and then place it back on the Battlefield facing any direction
2
with its Centre in the same place as before (following the Unit Spacing rule).
When performing a Wheel, rotate the unit forwards up to 90°, around either of its front corners. The distance moved
by the unit is equal to the distance the outer front corner of the outermost model in the first rank has moved from its
starting to its ending position (not the actual distance it moved along the arc of a circle), see figure . All models in
the unit are considered to have moved this distance.

a) The unit has March Rate 12″. It March Moves forwards 3″, Wheels 6″ (measured from the outer corner from its
starting to its ending position), and then March Moves forwards another 2″. The unit has moved 3 + 6 + 2 = 11″.
b) The unit has March Rate 10″. It March Moves forwards 3″ and then performs a 5″ Wheel. Even though the outer
corner has only moved 8″, there are models in the unit that end their movement farther away than their March Rate
from their starting position, making this move illegal (see “ ”, page ).
c) The unit has March Rate 16″. It March Moves forwards 2″, then performs 2 Wheels (4″ each), making it almost
face the opposite direction. The unit then moves forwards 4″ and finishes the move with a small 1.5″ Wheel. The
total distance covered by the unit is 2 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1.5 = 15.5″.
Even though some models in the unit are temporarily farther from their starting position than their March Rate, this
is a legal move, since at the end of the move, all models are within their March Rate of their starting position.
52
13 Magic Phase
The Magic Phase is when your Wizards will attempt to cast spells, and your opponent can attempt to dispel them.
13.A Magic Phase Sequence

The Magic Phase is divided into the following steps:
1 Start of the Magic Phase

2 Draw a Flux Card
3 Siphon the Veil
4 Cast a spell with one of your models (see “ ”, page )
5 Repeat step 4 for each spell the Active Player wishes to cast
6 End of the Magic Phase
13.B Wizards
Models that can cast non-Bound Spells are referred to as Wizards. There are 3 types of Wizards (see “ ”,
page and “ ”, page for details on the differences between them):
• Wizard Apprentices
• Wizard Adepts ( )
• Wizard Masters ( and a +1 Casting Modifier)
Each of your Wizards has to choose an available Path of Magic to select spells from; the chosen Path of Magic has to
be written down on your Army List.
13.C Magic Dice

In the Magic Phase, spells are cast and dispelled using a pool of dice called the Magic Dice. The number of Magic Dice
each player receives in each Magic Phase is determined by which Flux Cards are drawn (see Flux Cards below) and
what decisions are made during Siphon the Veil (see “ ”, page ).
13.D Flux Cards

Each player has a deck consisting of the 8 Flux Cards given in figure . During step 2 of the Magic Phase, the Reactive
Player randomly draws one of the Flux Cards from the Active Player’s deck. This card determines how many starting
Magic Dice both players receive in this Magic Phase, and how many Veil Tokens the Active Player receives. Once a
Flux Card has been drawn, it is discarded from the deck. The remaining Flux Cards in the decks are open information
to both players.
Instead of using Flux Cards, you may use dice to randomise which Flux Card to use. Mark which cards have already
been used and roll again whenever you get an already used card. Here is an example of how to randomise using two
D6: roll the first dice until its result, called X, is within 1–4. Then roll the second D6. If this D6 rolls 4+, add 4 to X.
This will result in a value between 1 and 8.

Figure 25: Flux Cards.
13.E Siphon the Veil

The Active Player creates a new pool of Veil Tokens that will last until their next Siphon the Veil phase.
• Add the number of Veil Tokens left in their previous Veil Token pool
• Add the number of Veil Tokens given by the Flux Card drawn this Player Turn
• Add Veil Tokens from other sources, such as Channel (see “ ”, page )
Up to 12 Veil Tokens can now be removed from the pool to be converted into Magic Dice by the Active Player. For
each full 3 Veil Tokens that were removed, the Active Player adds a single Magic Dice to their Magic Dice pool. Up to
4 Magic Dice may be added to the Active Player’s pool this way.
13.F Veil Token Limits

At the end of Siphon the Veil, the Active Player must discard Veil Tokens from their Veil Token pool until it contains
no more than 3 tokens. The remaining Veil Tokens are saved to be added to the Veil Token pool in the Active Player’s
next Magic Phase.
Some armies can generate Veil Tokens outside Siphon the Veil. This cannot increase the Veil Token pool beyond 6
Veil Tokens.
13.G Spells
Spells are cast during the Magic Phase. Most spells belong to a specific Path of Magic.
54
13.G.a Spell Properties
All spells are defined by the following 6 properties (see figure ):
1 – Spell Spells are classified into the different categories Learned Spells, Attribute Spells, and Heredi-
Classification tary Spells by letters or numbers.
2 – Spell Use the spell name to state which spell you intend to cast.
Name
3 – Casting The Casting Value is the minimum value you need to reach to succeed a Casting Attempt.
Value Spells may have different Casting Values available (see “ ”, page ).
4 – Type The spell type describes how the spell’s targets have to be chosen.
5 – Duration The duration of a spell determines how long the effects of the spell are applied.
The effect of a spell defines what happens to the target of the spell when the spell is success-
6 – Effect fully cast. Spell effects are never affected by Special Items, Model Rules, other spell effects,
or similar abilities affecting the Caster, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Figure 26: Spell Properties in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles – Arcane Compendium.
13.G.b Spell Classification

All spells are part of one or more of the following categories:
13.G.b.1 Learned Spells

All spells labelled with a number are Learned Spells, which are the main spells of a Path. They are usually numbered
from 1 to 6, which is relevant for the rules.
Each player may only attempt to cast each Learned Spell once per Magic Phase, even if it is known by different
Wizards (unless the spell is Replicable, see below).
13.G.b.2 Hereditary Spells

Most Army Books contain a Hereditary Spell, which is labelled “H” instead of a number. Hereditary Spells follow all
the rules for Learned Spells.
13.G.b.3 Attribute Spells

Attribute Spells are labelled “A”. All Wizards that know at least one spell from a Path of Magic automatically know
the Attribute Spell from that Path if there is any.
Path Attribute Spells are special spells that cannot be cast independently. Instead, the Caster may cast the Attribute
Spell automatically each time it successfully casts a non-Attribute Spell from the corresponding Path. This means
that an Attribute Spell can be cast more than once by the same Caster, and also by different Casters during a Magic
Phase. Attribute Spells cannot be dispelled.
13.G.b.4 Replicable Spells

Some Learned Spells are Replicable Spells and are labelled “rep”. The player may attempt to cast Replicable Spells
multiple times in the same Magic Phase, but each Wizard may only make a single attempt.
55
13.G.b.5 Bound Spells
Some spells are classified as Bound Spells, which follow different rules than the above (see “ ”, page ).
13.G.c Spell Types

The spell type describes which targets can be chosen for the spell. Unless specifically stated otherwise, a spell
may only have a single target and the target must be a single unit. If a spell has more than one type, apply all the
restrictions of each type.
For example, if a spell has the types Direct, Hex, and Range 12″, the target must be in the Caster’s Front Arc, be an
enemy unit, and be within 12″ of the Caster.
Augment The spell may only target friendly units (or friendly models inside units if Focused).
Aura This spell has an area of effect. Its effects are applied to all possible targets, according to the
rest of the spell types, within X″ of the Caster. For example, a spell with Augment, Aura, and
Range 12″ targets all friendly units within 12″ of the Caster.
Caster The spell targets only the model casting the spell (unless Focused, all model parts are af-
fected).
Caster’s Unit The spell targets only the Caster’s unit.
Damage The spell may only target units and/or models not currently Engaged in Combat.
Direct The spell may only target units and/or models in the Caster’s Front Arc.
Focused The spell may only target single models (including a Character inside a unit). If the target
is a Multipart Model (such as a chariot with riders and pulling beasts, or a knight and its
mount), only one model part may be targeted.
Ground The spell doesn’t target units or models. Instead, the target is a point on the Battlefield.
Hex The spell may only target enemy units (or enemy models inside units if Focused).
Missile The spell may only target units and/or models within the Caster’s Line of Sight. It cannot be
cast if the Caster (or its unit) is Engaged in Combat.
Range X″ The spell has a maximum casting range. Only targets within X″ can be chosen. This casting
range is always indicated in the corresponding column in the spell’s profile (see figure ).
Note that any effects that alter a spell’s range do not affect any other distance specifications
that may be part of the spell’s effect.
Universal The spell may target both friendly and enemy units (or models inside units if Focused).
13.G.d Spell Duration

The spell duration specifies how long the effects of the spell are applied. A spell duration can either be Instant, One
Turn, or Permanent as described below:
13.G.d.1 Instant
The effect of the spell has no lasting duration: effects are applied when the spell is cast. Afterwards the spell ends
automatically.
13.G.d.2 One Turn

The effect of the spell lasts until the start of the Caster’s next Magic Phase. If an affected unit is divided into several
units (the most common example being a Character leaving its unit), each of the units formed this way keeps being
affected by the spell effects. Characters that join a unit affected by One Turn spells are not affected by these spells,
and likewise, units joined by Characters affected by One Turn spells are not affected either.
13.G.d.3 Permanent
The effect of the spell lasts until the end of the game or until a designated ending condition is met (as detailed in the
spell effect). The spell can only be removed by the method described in the spell. If an affected unit is divided into
several units, follow the same restrictions as for One Turn spells.
56
13.H Spell Casting Sequence
Each of the Active Player’s non-Fleeing models with one or more spells may now attempt to cast each of its spells
up to one time per Magic Phase. The model is referred to as the Caster. In each Magic Phase one Casting Attempt
may be made for each spell, even if this spell is known by different Wizards. Remember that Bound Spells, Attribute
Spells, and Replicable Spells ignore this restriction.
Each casting of a spell is resolved as follows:
A Casting Attempt. If failed, skip steps B–F

B Dispelling Attempt. If successful, skip steps C–F
C In case of , skip steps D–E and go directly to step F
D Resolve the spell effect
E If applicable, choose target(s) for the Attribute Spell and resolve its effect
F If applicable, apply the Miscast effect
13.H.a Casting Attempt

Each Casting Attempt is resolved as follows:
The Active Player declares which Wizard is casting which spell and how many Magic Dice will
1 be used. If applicable, they also declare which version of the spell is used and what its targets
are. Between 1 and 5 dice from the Active Player’s Magic Dice pool must be used.
The Active Player rolls the chosen number of Magic Dice from the Magic Dice pool and adds
2 the results of the rolled dice and any Casting Modifiers together (see “
”, page ). This total is referred to as the total casting roll.
The Casting Attempt is passed if the total casting roll is equal to or greater than the spell’s
Casting Value. The Casting Attempt fails if the total casting roll is less than the spell’s Casting
3
Value. Note that the Casting Attempt may Fizzle if 2 or more dice were used (see “ ”, page
).
13.H.a.1 Boosted Spells

Some spells have two Casting Values, with the greater Casting Value being referred to as the Boosted version of the
spell. Boosted versions may have their type (range, target restrictions) and/or duration modified (e.g. giving the
spell a longer range), and/or the effects of the spell changed. Declare if you are trying to cast the Boosted version
before rolling any dice. If no declaration is made, the basic version for the chosen target is assumed to be used.
13.H.b Dispelling Attempt

Whenever the Active Player passes a Casting Attempt, the Reactive Player may attempt to dispel the Casting Attempt:
The Reactive Player declares how many Magic Dice will be used from their pool. The Reactive
1 Player must use at least 1 dice for a Dispelling Attempt. Note that there is no maximum number
of Magic Dice allowed to be used for a Dispelling Attempt.
The Reactive Player rolls the chosen number of dice and adds the results of the rolled dice and
2 any Dispelling Modifiers together (see “ ”, page ), to get the
total dispelling roll.
The Dispelling Attempt is successful if the total dispelling roll is equal to or greater than the
total casting roll. If so, the spell is dispelled and the spell is not cast. The Dispelling Attempt
3
fails if the total dispelling roll is less than the total casting roll. If so, the spell is successfully cast.
Note that the Dispelling Attempt may Fizzle if 2 or more dice were used (see “ ”, page ).
13.H.c Resolve the Spell

If the spell was not dispelled, it is successfully cast. Apply the spell effects. Afterwards (if applicable), choose a target
for the Path Attribute Spell and immediately apply its effects (Attribute Spells cannot be dispelled).
57
13.H.d Additional Rules Affecting Casting and Dispelling Attempts
13.H.d.1 Casting and Dispelling Modifiers
There are many potential sources for modifiers to the roll (the most common modifier for casting rolls is the +1 to
cast modifier for being a Wizard Master). Add these modifiers to the casting or dispelling rolls. After all modifiers
are applied, total Casting and Dispelling Modifiers may not exceed +2 and −2.
13.H.d.2 Fizzle
When a Casting Attempt or Dispelling Attempt is failed for which 2 dice or more were used, any Magic Dice that
rolled a natural ‘1’ are returned to the Magic Dice pool they were taken from. Note that this does not apply to passed
Casting Attempts that are then dispelled.
13.I Miscasts
When a player rolls their casting roll and three or more Magic Dice roll the same value, the Casting Attempt results in
a Miscast (regardless of whether the Casting Attempt is passed or not). If the Casting Attempt is successful and not
dispelled, apply the effects of the Miscast, as determined by the value on the Magic Dice as shown in table .
If 3 Magic Dice were used for the casting roll, apply a −1 Miscast Modifier (see “ ”
below).
If 5 Magic Dice were used for the casting roll, apply a +1 Miscast Modifier.
13.I.a Miscast Modifiers and Miscast Table

A +X or −X Miscast Modifier means that X is added to or deducted from the value of the dice yielding the Miscast. For
example, a 222 Miscast with a +1 Miscast Modifier makes a 222 counts as a 333 Miscast.
Three of a kind: Miscast Effects

Apply the effects of 222 and higher after resolving the effects of the spell and any Attribute
Spell
000 or lower No effect.
111 Broken Concentration
The Casting Attempt fails (apply Fizzle as normal).
222 Witchfire
The Caster’s unit suffers 1D6 hits with Armour Penetration 2, Magical Attacks, and a Strength
equal to the number of Magic Dice that were used for the casting roll.
333 Magical Inferno
The Caster’s unit suffers 2D6 hits with Armour Penetration 2, Magical Attacks, and a Strength
equal to the number of Magic Dice that were used for the casting roll.
444 Amnesia
The Caster cannot cast the Miscast spell anymore this game.
555 Backlash
The Caster suffers 2 hits that wound on 4+ with Armour Penetration 10 and Magical Attacks.
666 Implosion
777 or higher Breach in the Veil
The Caster’s model is removed as a casualty (no saves of any kind allowed).
Table 4: Miscast Table.
58
13.J Bound Spells
Bound Spells can also be cast by models that are not Wizards, but possessing a Bound Spell does not make a model a
Wizard. A Bound Spell is a spell that is usually contained in a magical artefact of some sort. Bound Spells cannot
be used to cast Boosted versions of the spell they contain. A Bound Spell containing a spell from a Path with an
Attribute also automatically contains the Path Attribute Spell.
13.J.a Power Level

All Bound Spells have two Power Levels, given as values in brackets (usually Power Level (4/8)). The first value is
the Bound Spell’s primary Power Level. This is used when the Bound Spell is cast with 2 Magic Dice. The second
value is the Bound Spell’s secondary Power Level, and is used when the Bound Spell is cast with 3 Magic Dice.
13.J.b Casting a Bound Spell

Casting a Bound Spell ignores the normal Casting Attempt rules, and instead follows a different procedure. Each of
the Active Player’s non-Fleeing models with Bound Spells may attempt to cast each of its Bound Spells up to one
time per Magic Phase. This model is referred to as the Caster. Bound Spells can be cast even if the same spell has
already been cast earlier in the same Magic Phase. Casting a Bound Spell does not prevent the casting of the same
spell later in the same Magic Phase, even as non-Bound Spell.
13.J.b.1 Bound Spell Casting Attempt
The Active Player declares which model will cast which Bound Spell, and whether they will use
1 2 or 3 Magic Dice. If applicable, the Active Player also declares the targets of the spell. The spell
is always cast with the basic version as Bound Spells cannot be Boosted.
The Active Player removes the chosen number of Magic Dice (2 or 3) from their Magic Dice pool
2
(do not roll them).
3 The Casting Attempt is always passed.
Note that Bound Spells that contain a spell from a Path with an Attribute automatically also contain the Path Attribute
Spell, and that unless specifically stated otherwise Casting Modifiers are not applied to the casting roll of a Bound
Spell.
13.J.b.2 Bound Spell Dispelling Attempt

Dispelling a Bound Spell works exactly like dispelling a Learned Spell. If 2 Magic Dice were removed the casting
roll is equal to the Bound Spell’s primary Power Level. If 3 Magic Dice were removed the casting roll is equal to the
Bound Spell’s secondary Power Level.
13.K Magical Effects

13.K.a Magical Move
Some spells or abilities enable a unit to perform a Magical Move. The move is performed as if in step 3 of the
Movement Phase Sequence (Moving Units), which means that it follows the same rules and restrictions as if this was
a new Moving Units sub-phase (e.g. Fleeing units, units, units with , or units Engaged in
Combat cannot move). Actions that a unit could normally do in the Moving Units sub-phase can be made (such as
Wheeling, Reforming, joining units, leaving units, and so on).
A Magical Move always has a limited movement range (e.g. “the target may perform a 12″ Magical Move”): the
target’s Advance Rate and March Rate are always equal to this value for the duration of the move. A unit can only
perform a single Magical Move per Magic Phase.
59
13.K.b Recover Health Points
Some spells or abilities can recover Health Points lost earlier in the battle. The amount of Health Points recovered is
noted in the ability (Recover X Health Points). Recovering Health Points can never bring back models that have been
removed as casualties, and cannot increase a model’s Health Points above its starting value.
A Character inside a Combined Unit never recovers Health Points from abilities that allow a unit to recover Health
Points. A Character can only recover Health Points when it is the only target of an ability or spell.
Any excess Recovered Health Points are lost.
13.K.c Raise Health Points

Raise Health Points uses the rules for Recover Health Points with the exception that Raise Health Points can bring
back models that have been removed as casualties. Bringing back models is subject to the following rules and
restrictions:
• First, recover all lost Health Points on models in the unit (except for Characters), then bring back models in the
following order: first Champions, then other R&F models (including Musicians and Standard Bearers). Each
Raised model must be recovered to its full amount of Health Points before another model can be Raised. This
cannot Raise a unit’s number of models above its starting number. Any excess Raised Health Points are lost.
• Raised models without Front Rank must be placed in the rear rank if incomplete, or in a new rear rank if the
current rear rank is complete. In units with one rank (including single model units), a Raised model can either
be placed in the first rank or you can declare the first rank complete and create a new rank. Any models that
cannot be placed in legal positions are lost.
• Any used One use only effects, or destroyed equipment (Special Items or mundane equipment) are not regained.
• Raised models are subject to the same ongoing effects as their unit, and count as Charging if their unit Charged.
13.K.d Summoned Units

Summoned units are units created during the game. All models in a newly Summoned unit must be deployed within
the range of the ability. If the unit is summoned as a result of a Ground type spell, at least one of the Summoned
models must be placed on the targeted point and all models must be within the spell’s range. Summoned models
must be placed at least 1″ away from other units and from Impassable Terrain. If the whole unit cannot be deployed,
then no models can be deployed. Once Summoned, the newly created unit operates as a normal unit on the Caster’s
side. Summoned units do not award Victory Points to the opponent when they are destroyed.
60
14 Shooting Phase
In the Shooting Phase, models with Shooting Attacks get a chance to use them.
14.A Shooting Phase Sequence

The Shooting Phase is divided into the following steps.
1 Start of the Shooting Phase

2 Select one of your units and perform a Shooting Attack
Repeat step 2 with a different unit that has not performed a Shooting Attack during this phase
3
yet
4 When all units that can (and want to) shoot have done so, the Shooting Phase ends
14.A.a Shooting With a Unit

Some units have Shooting Weapons or Model Rules that allow them to perform Shooting Attacks. Apply the following
rules for shooting with a unit:
1. Choose a shooting unit

Each unit that can perform a Shooting Attack can do so once per Shooting Phase, with the following conditions and
restrictions:
• Fleeing units, units, units that are Engaged in Combat or were Engaged in Combat at any point during
the Player Turn, and units that have Marched or Reformed this Player Turn cannot perform Shooting Attacks.
• All models in the same unit must shoot at the same target, and only models in the first and second rank
may shoot.
• If models in the unit have more than one type of Shooting Attack, declare which one is used. All R&F models
except Champions must use the same type. Champions and Characters are free to use other types of Shooting
Attacks (still maximum one attack per model, and directed at the same target as the unit).
• In case of Multipart Models, each model part can make a Shooting Attack in the same phase.
2. Choose a target
Nominate an enemy unit within the shooting unit’s Line of Sight as target. Units Engaged in Combat cannot be chosen
as targets.
3. Choose models to shoot with

Now determine which models from the shooting unit will shoot at the target unit:
• Check the Line of Sight for each shooting model. Remember that Line of Sight is always drawn from the model’s
Front Facing. Models that do not have Line of Sight to at least one model in the target unit cannot shoot.
• Measure the range to the target unit for each individual shooting model. This is measured from the actual
position of each shooting model to the closest point of the target’s Unit Boundary (even if this particular point
is not within Line of Sight). Models that are further away from their target than the range of their weapon
cannot shoot (unless performing a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction).
• If the Shooting Attack has a minimum range, the model can only shoot if the target is at least partially outside
the minimum range.
• Any model part in the unit is free to choose not to shoot.
61
4. Shoot!
Once you have established which models will shoot, these models shoot as many times as indicated in their weapon’s
profile. For each shot, roll to hit with each model, as described below, and then follow the Attack Sequence rules
(page ) after determining the number of hits.
14.B Aim
A Shooting Weapon’s Aim tells you what the model needs to roll on a D6 to successfully hit its target. This roll is
called a to-hit roll. A weapon’s Aim is written in brackets after the weapon’s name. Each unit has its own Aim for
a given Shooting Weapon available to it. For example, an elven archer might have a Longbow (3+) while a human
peasant only has a Longbow (4+). The elf would hit its target if it rolls 3 or higher on a D6, while the human would
need to roll 4 or higher.
14.C To-Hit Modifiers

Shooting Attacks may suffer one or more to-hit modifiers to their to-hit rolls. If so, simply modify the dice roll for the
shot with the given modifiers. The most common to-hit modifiers are explained below and summarised in table . If
one or more hits are scored, follow the procedure described under “ ”, page . A natural roll of ‘1’ is always a
miss.
Long Range −1 Stand and Shoot −1

(if ) 0 Soft Cover −1
Moving and Shooting −1 Hard Cover −2
(if ) 0 −X
(if ) −2
(if both) −1
Table 5: Summary of To-Hit Modifiers.
14.C.a Long Range (−1 to hit)

If the distance from the shooting model to the target is more than half the weapon’s range, the shooting model suffers
a −1 to-hit modifier. Remember that you measure range for each shooting model individually.
For rules purposes, any model not shooting at Long Range is considered to be at Short Range.
14.C.b Moving and Shooting (−1 to hit)

A model that has moved during this Player Turn suffers a −1 to-hit modifier.
14.C.c Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction (−1 to hit)

Shooting Attacks made as part of a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction suffer a −1 to-hit modifier.
14.C.d Cover
Cover is determined individually for each shooting model. There are two types of Cover: Soft Cover and Hard Cover.
The most common reason for applying Cover is the target being obscured by Terrain or other models, or the target
being inside a Terrain Feature.
62
Determine if the target benefits from Cover as follows:
Determine which Arc of the target the shooting model is Located in. The corresponding Facing
1
is referred to as Target Facing.
2 Choose any point on the shooting model’s Front Facing.
For targets on rectangular bases:
• From the chosen point, check how large the fraction of the Target Facing is that is behind
obstructions (see figures and ).
• If half or more of the Target Facing is obscured, the target benefits from Cover.
3
For targets on round bases:
• From the chosen point, check whether the nearest point on the Target Facing, referred to
as Target Point, is behind obstructions.
• If this point is obscured, the target benefits from Cover.
Note that:
• This is not Line of Sight. Check what is behind obstructions even outside of the shooting model’s Front Arc.
• Models always ignore their own unit and the Terrain Feature they are inside for Cover purposes (e.g. a model
shooting from a Forest doesn’t suffer a Soft Cover modifier for shooting through or at a target inside that
Forest).
14.C.d.1 Target Benefiting from Soft Cover (−1 to hit)

A model shooting at a target that benefits from Soft Cover suffers a −1 to-hit modifier. Soft Cover applies if more than
half of the Target Facing or the Target Point is obscured by either:
• Covering Terrain that contributes to Soft Cover
• Models that do not block Line of Sight, except if the target and/or the shooting model is of Gigantic Height
(see “ ”, page ), and the obscuring model is of Standard Height (in which case no cover is
applied) (remember that and affect what blocks Line of Sight)
For examples, see figure for Cover inside Terrain, and figure for Cover behind intervening models.
a) b)
B B
A A
Figure 27: Example of Soft Cover inside a Terrain Feature.
a) The left model in unit A is Located in unit B’s Flank Arc, so unit B’s Flank Facing is the Target Facing. More than
half of the Target Facing is obscured inside the Forest, so unit B benefits from Soft Cover against the left model.
b) The right model in unit A is Located in unit B’s Front Arc, so unit B’s Front Facing is the Target Facing. Less than
half of the Target Facing is obscured inside the Forest, so unit B does not benefit from Soft Cover against the right
model.
63
14.C.d.2 Target Benefiting from Hard Cover (−2 to hit)
A model shooting at a target that benefits from Hard Cover suffers a −2 to-hit modifier. Hard Cover applies if more
than half of the Target Facing or the Target Point is obscured by either:
• Covering Terrain that contributes to Hard Cover
• Models that do block Line of Sight (remember that and affect what blocks Line of Sight)
See figure for an example of Hard Cover.
a) b) c)

Figure 28: Example of Hard Cover.
a) The model cannot shoot (as its Line of Sight is blocked).
b) The model can shoot (as the enemy is within Line of Sight). Hard Cover is applied since more than half of the
Target Facing is obscured by a Terrain Feature that contributes to Hard Cover.
c) The model can shoot (enemy within Line of Sight). No Cover is applied since half or less of the Target Facing is
obscured by a Terrain Feature that contributes to Hard Cover.
14.C.d.3 Target Benefiting from Soft and Hard Cover

If a target benefits from both Soft and Hard Cover, only apply the Hard Cover modifier.
If parts of the Target Facing are obscured by obstructions that contribute to Soft and Hard Cover, but not enough to
grant either Soft Cover or Hard Cover, apply only the Soft Cover modifier if more than half of the Target Facing is
obscured. For example, if 30% of the Target Facing is obscured by Terrain contributing to Soft Cover, and another
30% by Terrain contributing to Hard Cover, then apply the Soft Cover modifier, as 60% of the Target Facing is
obscured in total (see figure ).
Less than half of the Figure 29: Example of Soft and Hard Cover.

the total Target counts as benefiting from Soft Cover.

14.D Hopeless Shots
When to-hit modifiers make the needed roll to hit with a Shooting Attack 7+, apply the following procedure:
1 Roll to hit. Rolls of ‘6’ are considered successful.

For each successful roll, roll to hit again: on a roll of 4+, this second to-hit roll is successful, and
2
the shot hits.
3 Proceed as described under “ ”, page .
If there are enough modifiers to make the needed roll to hit 8 or more, the shot cannot hit.
For example, a model with Bow (4+) shoots at a target benefiting from Hard Cover (−2 to hit), and is Moving and
Shooting (−1). This would require the shooter to roll 7+ on a D6, which means that this shot follows the Hopeless
Shots rule. If a ‘6’ is rolled, roll to-hit again. If the shooter manages to roll 4+ on the second attempt, the shot hits.
Soft Cover (−1 to hit)

Figure 30: Soft Cover from intervening models.
This diagram shows all possible Height combinations between shooting, target, and intervening models that result in
Soft Cover or No Cover. The intervening model is assumed to be placed in such a way that it is sufficiently obscuring
the target from the shooter. All other Height combinations yield either Hard Cover or no Line of Sight, depending on
whether the target is completely obscured by the intervening model or not.
65
15 Melee Phase
In the Melee Phase, both players’ units Engaged in Combat must attack.
15.A Melee Phase Sequence

Each Melee Phase is divided into the following steps:
1 Start of the Melee Phase

2 Apply any instances of
3 The Active Player chooses a combat that has not already been fought during this Melee Phase
4 Fight a Round of Combat (see “ ”, page )
5 Repeat steps 2–4
Once all units that were Engaged in Combat at the start of the phase have fought, the Melee
6
Phase ends
Complete all actions in the Round of Combat Sequence for each unit Engaged in the chosen combat before resolving
the next combat.
15.B Combat
A combat is defined as a group of opposing units that are all connected through base contact. Normally, this would
be two units pitted against one another, but it could also be several units against a single enemy unit or a long chain
of units from both sides.
15.B.a First Round of Combat

Certain rules only apply to the First Round of Combat. A unit’s First Round of Combat is:
• The Round of Combat after it successfully Charged an enemy unit
• The Round of Combat after it was successfully Charged by an enemy unit if previously unengaged
15.C No Longer Engaged

Sometimes a unit that was previously Engaged in Combat had all of its opponents removed since the end of the
previous Melee Phase. Such units follow the rules described in “ ”, page . If the unit has not moved
since the enemy units were removed (e.g. with a Magical Move), it may perform a Post-Combat Pivot or a Post-Combat
Reform, or an Overrun if it just Charged.
66
15.D Round of Combat Sequence
Each Round of Combat is divided into the following steps:
1 Start of the Round of Combat

2 Choose a weapon (see “ ”, page )
3 (see “ ”, page )
4 (see “ ”, page )
5 Determine the Initiative Order
Roll Melee Attacks, starting with the first Initiative Step:
1. Allocate attacks
6 2. Roll to hit, to wound, saves, and remove casualties
3. Repeat 1. and 2. for the next Initative Step
7 Calculate which side wins the Round of Combat. Losers roll Break Tests
8 Roll for units within 6″ of friendly Broken units
9 Decide to Restrain or to Pursue
10 Roll Flee Distances
11 Roll Pursuit Distances
12 Move Fleeing units
13 Move Pursuing units
14 and
15
16 End of the Round of Combat. Proceed to the next combat
15.D.a Initiative Order

Melee Attacks are performed in Rounds of Combat during the Melee Phase. All Melee Attacks have a specific Agility
value that corresponds to the Agility of their model part, unless specifically stated otherwise (such as or
).
Each Round of Combat is fought in a strict striking order, referred to as Initiative Order. The Initiative Order in a
combat is determined immediately before any attacks are made. Take into account all modifiers that affect the Agility
of attacks that may be performed in this Round of Combat. Once the Initiative Order has been determined for a
Round of Combat, it cannot be changed by effects that alter the Agility of attacks during that Round of Combat. The
order starts at Initiative Step 10 with all attacks with Agility 10, and is resolved downwards to Initiative Step 0 with
all attacks with Agility 0.
At each Initiative Step, all attacks from this step that meet the necessary requirements (see ,
below) strike simultaneously.
15.D.b Charging Momentum

Charging models gain +1 Agility.
15.D.c Which Models can Attack

Models in base contact with an enemy attack during their Initiative Step (remember that models are considered to
be in base contact across gaps: see “ ”, page ). Models from both sides
attack in each player’s Melee Phase.
67
15.D.c.1 Supporting Attacks
Models in the second rank and not in base contact with any enemy models can perform Close Combat Attacks across
models in the first rank directly in front of them. These Close Combat Attacks are called Supporting Attacks. A model
part that performs Supporting Attacks always has a maximum Attack Value of X, where X is defined by the Height of
the model (see “ ”, page ).
Figure 31: Which models can attack?
Models colour-coded with a darker shade can all strike. Models with
A a bold frame count as being in base contact with an enemy; note that
B models are considered to be in base contact across gaps. Models

colour-coded with a lighter shade cannot make Supporting Attacks.
Unit C is in Line Formation and thus both the second and third rank
can make Supporting Attacks. Unit B is not Engaged in its Front
C Facing; its models cannot make Supporting Attacks to their Flank or
Rear; they could only strike across the first rank.
15.D.d Allocating Attacks

At each Initiative Step, before any attacks are rolled, Close Combat Attacks must first be allocated towards enemy
models. If a model is in base contact with more than one enemy model, it can choose which model to attack. Attacks
can be allocated towards models with different Health Pools, i.e. R&F models, Champions, and Characters (see
“ ”, page ). The number of Close Combat Attacks a model can make is equal to its Attack Value, which can be
modified by equipment, Attack Attributes, spells, etc. If a model has an Attack Value above 1, it can allocate its Close
Combat Attacks towards different enemy models in base contact. If a model is making Supporting Attacks, it can
allocate its attacks as if it was in the first rank of the unit (in the same file). Allocate all attacks at each Initiative Step
before making any to-hit rolls.
15.D.d.1 Swirling Melee

R&F models Engaged in Combat may be in positions in the unit where, based on the general rules for allocating
attacks, they can either:
• allocate attacks (including Supporting Attacks) only towards enemy Characters or Champions
• not allocate any attacks at all due to enemy models fighting a Duel
Such models may elect to allocate their Close Combat Attacks towards R&F models of the same unit instead. Note
that Swirling Melee cannot be used by Characters.
Figure illustrates how attacks can be allocated in a complex case.
Figure 32: Example for allocating attacks.
The Champion of unit B (Ch) and Character 𝐶2 are locked in

a Duel (indicated by the chess pattern). This means that they
A
can only allocate attacks towards each other. The magenta
and green models can allocate attacks towards the R&F
models of the other unit. The models with a bold frame
𝐶1 𝐶2 Ch can allocate attacks towards Characters/Champions. The
models in fainter colours with dashed frames cannot attack
Ch 𝐶3
at all. Character 𝐶1 cannot attack because the only model it
B is in base contact with is a Champion that is locked in a Duel.

If 𝐶1 was a R&F model, it could allocate attacks towards the
magenta R&F models.
68
15.D.e Rolling to Hit
Roll a D6 for each Close Combat Attack, referred to as to-hit rolls. The needed roll to hit the target is determined by
the difference between the Offensive Skill of the attacking model part and the Defensive Skill of the model the attack
was allocated towards. See table below.
To-hit modifiers can alter this to-hit roll. Close Combat to-hit rolls that are modified to hit on better than 2+ always
fail on a natural roll of ‘1’, while they are always successful on a natural roll of ‘6’ even if they are modified beyond 6+.
Example: a model has Offensive Skill 3, Attack Value 2, and is equipped with Paired Weapons, which gives it a total
of 3 attacks. The model may allocate two attacks towards a model with Defensive Skill 2, which hit on 3+, and one
towards a model with Defensive Skill 8, which hits on 5+.
Once you have determined the number of hits, follow the Attack Sequence rules (page ).
Offensive Skill minus Defensive Skill Needed roll to hit

4 or more 2+
1 to 3 3+
0 to −3 4+
−4 to −7 5+
−8 or less 6+
Table 6: Close Combat to-Hit Table.
15.D.f Losing Base Contact

Removing casualties may cause units to lose base contact with their foe. When this happens, units are nudged back
into combat using the following procedure:
1. The unit that is going to lose base contact while not suffering casualties is moved the minimum amount needed
to keep the units in base contact.
2. If this will not bring the units back into contact, move the unit suffering casualties the minimum amount
needed to keep the units in base contact.
A nudged unit can only be moved in a straight line forwards, backwards, to either side, or a combination of two
of these directions (first one, then the other). Units that are in base contact with other enemy units can never be
nudged in this way. Nudged units cannot move through the Unit Boundary of other units or Impassable Terrain.
They also cannot move into base contact with enemy units that they were not in base contact with before the nudge
move, but they are allowed to move within 1″ of the Unit Boundary of other units Engaged in the same Combat.
Nudge moves cannot be used to change the Facing in which any unit is fighting (which means that if the unit was
Engaged in the Flank before the nudge move, this must still be true after the nudge move). If several units lose base
contact at the same time, move them in the order that allows the maximum number of units to stay in combat. If this
number is equal, the Active Player decides the order.
If nudging either unit does not manage to bring the units back into contact with each other, the unit Drops out of
Combat. Any units that are no longer Engaged in Combat follow the rules given under “ ”, page .
15.E Duels
15.E.a Issuing a Duel
Characters and Champions Engaged in Combat may issue a Duel at step 4 of the Round of Combat Sequence (see
“ ”, page ). The Active Player may nominate one of their Characters or Champions and
issue a Duel, provided that there is at least one enemy Champion or Character able to accept it (this enemy model’s
unit must be in base contact with the unit of the model that issued the Duel, and there must not be any ongoing Duel
in this combat; see below).
If the Duel was refused, or if no Duel was issued, the Reactive Player may nominate one of their Characters or
Champions that did not refuse the Active Player’s Duel and issue a Duel.
69
15.E.b Accepting or Refusing a Duel
If a Duel was issued, the opponent may now choose one of their own Characters or Champions Engaged in the same
Combat to accept the Duel and fight the Character or Champion that issued the Duel. The model that accepts the
Duel must be in a unit that is in base contact with the unit of the model that issued the Duel.
If a Duel isn’t accepted it is said to be refused. The player issuing the Duel now nominates one of their opponent’s
Characters that could have accepted the Duel, if there is any (note that Champions cannot be nominated).
The chosen model:
• Has its Discipline set to 0, and it loses (if it has it)
• Cannot perform any Melee Attacks
• Loses (if it has it)
• In case of a , doesn’t add +1 to its side’s Combat Score
The effects end:
• At the end of the Player Turn in which the combat ends
• When the chosen Character accepts or issues a Duel
• At the end of the Player Turn if there no longer is an enemy model Engaged in the same Combat that could
accept a Duel
15.E.c Fighting a Duel

If the Duel was accepted, the model that issued the Duel and the model that accepted the Duel will fight the Duel
based on the following rules:
• The two models count as being in base contact with each other (even if their bases are not physically touching
each other) and must allocate all their Close Combat Attacks towards each other.
• Melee Attacks made towards a unit as a whole (such as , , ,
) can only be distributed onto the opposing duellist. Melee Attacks made at specific models (such as all
models in base contact) are unaffected and work as normal.
• No other model can allocate attacks towards either of these models, and attacks/hits from Melee Attacks can
never be distributed onto a model that is fighting a Duel.
• If one of the models is removed as a casualty in the Melee Phase before the other model had a chance to make
all its Melee Attacks (this is a common situation with Characters that have attacks with more than one Agility
value, such as a rider and its mount, or a model with Stomp Attacks), any of the attacks not yet carried out can
and must be directed at the removed model, as if it was still Engaged and in base contact, in order to get an
Overkill bonus. Note that the gap from the removed model is filled immediately during the Initiative Step in
which the model is removed, according to the rules for “ ”, page .
• If one of the models is removed as a casualty, Breaks, or if the combat ends for any reason (including being
divided through Splitting Combat), the Duel ends at the end of the phase. If neither model is removed as a
casualty and both their units are still Engaged with one another at the beginning of the next Round of Combat,
the Duel continues. No other Duel can be issued in the same combat before the Duel ends.
15.E.d Overkill
During a Duel, any excess Health Point losses caused count towards the , up to a maximum of +3.
70
15.F Winning a Round of Combat
15.F.a Combat Score
Once all Initiative Steps have passed (i.e. all models have had a chance to attack), the winner of this Round of Combat
is determined by calculating each side’s Combat Score. Simply add up all Combat Score bonuses. The side with
the higher Combat Score wins the Round of Combat and the side with the lower Combat Score loses the Round of
Combat. If there is a tie, both sides are treated as winners. The different Combat Score bonuses are described below
and summarised in table .
15.F.a.1 Lost Health Points on enemy units: +1 for each Health Point
Each player adds up the number of Health Points lost from their opponent’s units (Engaged in the same Combat)
during this Round of Combat. This includes enemies that were Engaged in the Combat but Dropped out of Combat
or were completely wiped out during this Round of Combat.
15.F.a.2 Overkill: +1 for each Health Point (maximum +3)

In a Duel, excess Health Points lost by the enemy model after it was removed as a casualty are counted towards the
Combat Score. A maximum of +3 can be added to your Combat Score due to Overkill. Note that excess Health Point
losses are only counted when fighting a Duel. In all other situations, excess Health Point losses count for nothing.
15.F.a.3 Charge: +1
Each side with one or more Charging models receives +1 to their Combat Score.
15.F.a.4 Rank Bonus: +1 for each Full Rank after the first (maximum +3)
Each side adds +1 to their Combat Score for each after the first in a single unit, up to a maximum of +3.
Only count this for a single unit per side (use the unit that gives the highest Rank Bonus). Units in
cannot add Rank Bonus to their Combat Score.
15.F.a.5 Standards: +1 for each Standard and Battle Standard Bearer

Each side adds +1 to their Combat Score for each Standard Bearer and Battle Standard Bearer Engaged in Combat at
the end of the Round of Combat.
15.F.a.6 Flank Bonus: +1 or +2

Each side adds +1 to their Combat Score if they have one or more units fighting an enemy in the enemy’s Flank. If at
least one of these units (that are fighting an enemy in its Flank) has one or more Full Ranks, add +2 instead.
15.F.a.7 Rear Bonus: +2 or +3

Each side adds +2 to their Combat Score if they have one or more units fighting an enemy in the enemy’s Rear. If at
least one of these units (that are fighting an enemy in its Rear) has one or more Full Ranks, add +3 instead.
15.F.a.8 Combat Score Summary
Health Points Lost by Enemy Units +1 for each Health Point

Overkill +1 for each Health Point (maximum +3)
Charge +1
Rank Bonus +1 for each Full Rank after the first (maximum +3)
Standard +1 for each Standard and Battle Standard Bearer
Flank Bonus +1 or +2
Rear Bonus +2 or +3
Table 7: Combat Score Summary.
71
15.G Break Test
Each unit on the side that lost the Round of Combat must take a Break Test. The order is chosen by the losing player.
A Break Test is a Discipline Test with a negative modifier equal to the Combat Score difference (i.e. if the Combat
Score was 6 to 3, the units on the losing side take Break Tests with a −3 modifier).
If the test is passed, the unit remains Engaged in the Combat. If the test is failed, the unit Breaks and Flees. Remember
that units within 6” of a friendly unit that Breaks must take a Panic Test (see ).
15.G.a Steadfast
Any units that have more Full Ranks than each of the enemy units Engaged in the same Combat are considered
Steadfast. Steadfast units ignore Discipline modifiers from the Combat Score difference when rolling Break Tests
(and tests to ).
15.G.b Disrupted Ranks

A unit cannot use the Steadfast rule if it is Engaged in Combat in its Flank or Rear with an enemy unit with at least 2
Full Ranks.
15.G.c No More Foes

Sometimes a unit destroys all enemy units in base contact and finds itself no longer Engaged in Combat (so it cannot
provide Combat Score bonuses such as Standards or Flank). These units always count as winning the combat, and
can either make an (if they were Charging), a , or a .
When this happens in multiple combats, the Combat Score resulting from lost Health Points by the unit and its
enemies counts, but all other Combat Score bonuses are ignored. Note that the unit itself doesn’t take a Break Test
since it always counts as if on the winning side.
15.G.d Splitting Combat

If due to removing casualties, two or more disconnected subgroups of opposing units are created (see figure ),
resolve the Combat normally (accounting for every unit that took part in this Round of Combat), checking any
remaining base contact for the purpose of Rear and Flank Bonuses. In the next Melee Phase, each subgroup will be
treated as a separate combat.
a) b)
A B A B
C D C D
Figure 33: Splitting combat.
a) Unit A suffers casualties, which results in unit D no longer being in base contact. Neither unit A nor unit D can be
nudged back into base contact since they are in base contact with other enemies (see “ ”, page
). Calculate Combat Score in this case as one single combat (only unit C grants a Flank Bonus).
b) In the next Player Turn, this situation will count as two separate combats.
72
15.H Pursuits and Overruns
Before moving Broken units, each unit that is in base contact with the Broken unit(s) may declare a Pursuit of a
single Broken unit (each Pursuing unit may choose any eligible enemy unit to Pursue). Determine the direction of
the Flee Move as follows:
• If the Broken unit is in contact with a single enemy unit, its Flee Move will be directed away from that unit.
• If the Broken unit is in contact with more than one enemy unit, the owner of the enemy units must declare
which of those units the Flee Move will be directed away from.
To be able to Pursue a Broken enemy, the unit cannot be Engaged with any non-Broken enemy units and must be in
base contact with the Broken unit. Units can elect not to Pursue, but must then pass a Discipline Test to succeed in
restraining themselves, referred to as Restrain Pursuit Test; if the test is failed, the unit must Pursue anyway. If the
test is passed, the unit may do either a or a .
15.H.1 Overrun
A unit that fought its First Round of Combat after Charging can choose to make a special Pursuit Move called Overrun
(instead of a Post-Combat Pivot or Post-Combat Reform), if all enemy units in base contact were wiped out (including
units removed from play as a result of or something similar). Overruns follow the rules for moving Pursuing
units, except that step 1. Pivot is ignored (i.e. Overruns are straight forward) and that no Restrain Pursuit Test is
required. Check which Arc the Overrunning unit is Located in for each enemy unit that may be Charged later in this
process. If the Overrun Move will lead to a Charge, it will be in the Facing determined at this point.
15.H.a Roll for Flee and Pursuit Distances

Each Broken unit now rolls 2D6 to determine its Flee Distance, and each unit that has declared a Pursuit now rolls
2D6 to determine its Pursuit Distance. If any Pursuing unit rolls a Pursuit Distance equal or higher than the Flee
Distance of the unit it is Pursuing, the Fleeing unit is immediately destroyed. Remove that unit as a casualty (with no
saves of any kind allowed). If several units are Fleeing from the same combat, the units move in the same order as
their Flee Distance was rolled (the owner chooses in which order they roll the Flee Distance). The Active Player
chooses which player will roll for their Pursuing units first. Each player chooses the order in which they roll the
Pursuit Distances of their own Pursuing units.
15.H.b Flee Distance and Fleeing Units

Each Broken unit that was not captured and destroyed will now Flee directly away from the previously determined
enemy unit. Pivot the Fleeing unit so that its Rear Facing is parallel with the Facing it was Engaged in (of the enemy
unit the Flee Move is directed away from), and then move the Fleeing unit straight forward a number of inches equal
to the Flee Distance rolled earlier. Use the rules for with the exception that units that are Engaged in the
same Combat do not cause Dangerous Terrain Tests. If the direction of the Flee Move cannot be determined, e.g.
because the enemy units that won the Round of Combat were removed as casualties, the Broken unit Flees directly
away from the closest enemy unit instead (Centre of Unit to Centre of Unit).
15.H.c Pursuit Distance and Pursuing Units

Each Pursuing unit now performs a Pursuit Move, which is divided into three consecutive steps.
Impassable Terrain, enemy units that Fled from the combat involving the Pursuing unit, and friendly units that were
not part of that combat are considered to be obstructions for the Pursuit Move. Models cannot move into or through
obstructions during Pursuit Moves. All friendly units that were part of the same combat are treated as Open Terrain
for steps 1 and 2 of the Pursuit Move.
Before moving any unit, check:
• Which Pursuing unit would Charge an enemy unit (see 2.2 Enemy Unit below). Ignore other Pursuing units
potentially rendering the Charge impossible.
• Which Arc the Pursuing unit is Located in for each enemy unit that may be Charged later in this process. If the
Pursuit Move will lead to a Charge, it will be in the Facing determined at this point.
The Charging units will be moved first, in the order that best satisfies the priority order of “ ”,
page (see figure ). Afterwards the remaining Pursuing units will be moved, in an order chosen by the owner.
73
1. Pivot
The Pursuing unit Pivots so that it is facing the same direction as the Pursued unit, or if destroyed, the direction the
Pursued unit would have had, had it not been destroyed. Ignore the rule during this Pivot.
After the Pivot, one of the four situations below will arise. If more than one is applicable, apply the uppermost one.
1. If the Front Facing of the Pursuing unit would overlap the Board Edge, the unit Pursues off the Board (see
“ ”, page ).
2. If the Front Facing of the Pursuing unit would overlap the Unit Boundary of an enemy unit that did not Flee
from the same combat, it declares a Charge against that unit. If there is more than one possible target, the
Pivoting unit chooses which to Charge. The Charged unit may not perform any Charge Reactions (not even if
already Fleeing). Remove the Pursuing unit from the Battlefield and then place it back on the Battlefield with its
Front Facing in base contact with its target, in the Facing determined before the Pivot, maximising the number
of Engaged models as normal but keeping the Centre of the unit as close as possible to its starting position
while doing so. If there is not enough room to place the Pursuing unit, treat the enemy unit as obstruction
instead.
3. If the Front Facing of the Pursuing unit would overlap an obstruction, the unit instead Pivots so that it faces as
close as possible towards the direction of the the Pursued unit, while following the Unit Spacing rule (normally
this means stopping 1″ away from the obstacle), and then moves no farther (i.e. ignore steps 2 and 3).
4. If the Front Facing of the Pursuing unit touches neither of the above, proceed to step 2. Note that only the
Front Facing needs to be clear: Unit Boundaries, Impassable Terrain, or the Board Edge overlapping other
parts of the unit are ignored during steps 1–3.
2. Forward Ahead
Without moving the Pursuing unit, check what the first obstacle (Board Edge, enemy Unit Boundary, or obstruction)
within the rectangle directly ahead of the unit formed by its Front Facing and the rolled Pursuit Distance would be.
The Unit Spacing rule is ignored when doing this check and for all movement during Forward Ahead. If more than
one is applicable, apply the uppermost one.
2.1. Board Edge

If the first obstacle would be the Board Edge, move the unit straight forward until it touches the Board Edge and
then follow the rules for .
2.2. Enemy Unit

If the first obstacle would be the Unit Boundary of an enemy unit that did not Flee from the same combat, the
Pursuing unit declares a Charge against that unit, using its Pursuit Distance roll as its Charge Range. If there is more
than one possible target, the Pursuing unit chooses which to Charge. The Charged unit may not perform any Charge
Reactions (not even if already Fleeing). The Pursuing unit immediately performs a Charge Move (following all the
normal rules) towards the previously determined Facing.
If the Pursuing unit joins a combat that has already been fought or was created during this Melee Phase, it will be
resolved in the next Melee Phase (with the Charging unit still counting as Charging). If the Pursuing unit joins a
combat that wasn’t created during this Melee Phase and that hasn’t been fought yet, the unit will have a chance to
fight and Pursue again this phase.
If the Charge is not possible to complete, the unit does not perform a Failed Charge Move but treats the enemy unit
as obstruction and proceeds to 2.3 instead.
2.3. Obstruction or No Obstacle

If the first obstacle, if any, would not be an enemy Unit Boundary or the Board Edge, the Pursuing unit now moves its
Pursuit Distance straight forward. If this brings the Front Facing of the unit into base contact with an obstruction,
the unit stops.
74
3. Legal Position?
At the end of the Pursuit Move, check if the unit is in a legal position. It cannot be in base contact with a unit it didn’t
declare a Charge against, and it must follow the rule, which includes friendly units that were part of the
same combat. If the unit is not in a legal position, backtrack the move to the unit’s last legal position where it follows
the Unit Spacing rule.

an enemy unit, and figure introduces more complex cases.

15.H.d Pursuing off the Board
When a unit Pursues off the Board, it will leave the Battlefield and will return during the owner’s next Movement
Phase, using the rules for arriving (see “ ”, page ), with the following exceptions:
• It automatically arrives.
• It must be placed with its rear rank centred on a point at which it contacted the Board Edge, or as close as
possible.
• It must arrive in the same formation as it left.
• It does not count as destroyed at the end of the game, nor does it lose .
15.H.e Post-Combat Pivot and Post-Combat Reform

After Pursuing and Fleeing units have been moved, the other units that were Engaged in the same Combat but are now
unengaged may now perform one of the manoeuvres below (in an order determined by the rules for “
”, page ).
15.H.e.1 Post-Combat Pivot

The unit Pivots around its Centre and/or may reorganise models with the rule (they must still be in legal
positions).
15.H.e.2 Post-Combat Reform

The unit performs a Reform manoeuvre. If it does, the unit doesn’t count as for claiming Secondary Objectives
until the start of the following Player Turn and may not declare any Charges in the following Player Turn.
78
15.I Combat Reforms
Each unit still Engaged in Combat after all Fleeing and Pursuing units have moved, and after Post-Combat Pivots and
Post-Combat Reforms have been performed, now performs a Combat Reform.
• Units on the losing side of the combat must pass a Discipline Test in order to do so. Apply the same modifiers
as for the previous (i.e. apply the Combat Score difference, unless the unit is or ).
• Units Engaged in more than one Facing can never perform any Combat Reforms.
• After all Discipline tests have been taken, the Active Player decides which player performs their Combat
Reforms first. After this player has completed all Combat Reforms with their units (one at a time, in any order),
the opponent Combat Reforms their units.
• Each player may choose not to Combat Reform one or more of their units.
When performing a Combat Reform, remove a unit from the Battlefield and place it back, following these restrictions:
• The unit must be placed in a legal formation (following the rule, etc.).
– The unit is allowed to come within 0.5″ of units Engaged in the same Combat, but it cannot move into
base contact with enemy units that it was not in base contact with before the Combat Reform.
• The unit must be placed in base contact with all the enemy units it was in base contact before the Combat
Reform, and in the same Facing of the enemy unit(s).
• All models in the unit must be placed with their centre within their March Rate from their position before the
Combat Reform.
• Characters that were in base contact with an enemy must still be after the Combat Reform.
– This applies to both enemy and friendly Characters.
– A Character may end up in base contact with different enemy models than it was before the Combat
Reform.
• After each Combat Reform, at least as many models of the Combat Reforming unit must be in base contact
with enemy models as there were before.
– These don’t have to be the same models.
Furthermore, after a player has completed all their Combat Reforms, all enemy models that were in base contact
with opposing models before the Combat Reform must still be in base contact after the Combat Reform, but they
may be Engaged with different models or units.

to the left.
c) During Unit B’s Combat Reform, the unit shifts as far as possible to the right and the two models that are not in
base contact with enemy models are moved to the second rank. Unit C does not change its position, however the
Character joined to the unit moves into a position where it is in base contact only with a single enemy model.
79
16 Casualties
Models suffering unsaved wounds lose Health Points.
16.A Losing Health Points

16.A.a R&F Models
R&F models except Champions in the same unit share a common Health Pool. If the attack was allocated towards or
distributed onto a R&F model, the combined R&F Health Pool loses 1 Health Point for each unsaved wound. If the
R&F models have 1 Health Point each, remove one R&F model for each Health Point lost.
If the R&F models have more than 1 Health Point each, remove whole R&F models whenever possible. Keep track of
Health Points lost from the Health Pool that are not enough to remove an entire model. These lost Health Points are
taken into account for future attacks. For example, a unit of 10 Trolls (3 Health Points each) loses 7 Health Points.
Remove two whole models (6 Health Points), leaving 1 lost Health Point which is kept track of. Later, this unit loses
2 Health Points, which is enough to remove a single Troll since 1 Health Point was lost from the previous attack.
If all non-Champion R&F models in a unit are wiped out, any excess lost Health Points are allotted to the Champion
(even if it is fighting a Duel). If there is no Champion, the excess Health Point losses are ignored.
If a unit consists of R&F models with different Types and/or Heights, all R&F models with the same Type and Height
have their own separate Health Pool.
16.A.b Champions
Even though Champions are R&F models, each Champion has its own Health Pool, and follows the rules for Characters
below. If enough Health Points are lost by R&F models in order to wipe out the entire unit, any remaining lost Health
Points are allotted to the Champion (even if it is fighting a Duel).
16.A.c Characters
If the attack was allocated towards or distributed onto a Character, the attacked model loses 1 Health Point for each
unsaved wound. If the model reaches 0 Health Points, it is removed as a casualty. Keep track of models that have lost
Health Points, but not enough to reach 0 Health Points (placing “Health Point markers” next to such models works
fine). These lost Health Points will be taken into account for future attacks. If the model is removed as a casualty, any
excess Health Point losses are ignored.
16.A.d Excess Health Point Losses

Whenever more Health Point losses are inflicted than there are Health Points in a Health Pool, these excess Health
Point losses are ignored.
When caused by simultaneous attacks from models from two or more Health Pools and/or units, it may be necessary
to determine which models caused the excess Health Point losses. In this case, the owner of the models that inflicted
the Health Point losses gets to decide.
16.A.e Losing the Last Health Point

Certain effects are triggered by models being removed as a casualty, while others are set off by models losing their
last Health Point or reaching 0 Health Points. Note that losing the last Health Point does not apply to situations in
which a model is directly removed as a casualty, without actually losing any Health Points, like Fleeing off the board
or being destroyed after Breaking from Combat.
80
16.B Removing Casualties
Whenever the rules tell you to remove models as casualties, remove the models from the Battlefield following the
rules below. Models that have been removed as casualties no longer affect the game in any way, but they may award
Victory Points to the opponent (see “ ”, page ).
16.B.a Removing R&F Models

If the unit is in multiple ranks, R&F casualties are removed from the rear rank by the owner, in any order they choose.
If the unit is in a single rank, remove models as equally as possible from both sides of the unit. Note that this only
applies to each batch of simultaneous attacks.
If a Champion or Character is in a position that would normally be removed as a casualty, remove the next eligible
R&F model and slide the Champion and/or Character model(s) into the now empty spot.
16.B.b Removing R&F Models from Units Engaged in Combat

The removal of casualties from Engaged units follows the general rules for Removing R&F models above. In addition,
if the unit is in a single rank, remove casualties from either side of the unit, so that the following conditions are
satisfied as best as possible for each batch of simultaneous casualties, in decreasing priority order:
• 1st priority: As few units as possible Drop out of Combat (see “ ”, page )
• 2nd priority: As few units as possible lose base contact without Dropping out of Combat
• 3rd priority: The number of models in base contact is maximised after nudging all units
• 4th priority: Casualties are removed as equally as possible from both sides of the unit
If it is unavoidable to break one or more of the above conditions, you must avoid breaking the higher priority order
conditions, even if this means the total number of conditions you break is higher. As long as all above conditions are
satisfied as best as possible, the owner is free to remove casualties as they please. See figure for examples.
16.B.c Removing Champions and Characters

When Champions and Characters are removed as casualties they are removed from their positions within the unit.
Other models are then moved to fill empty spots, following the same guidelines as for casualty removal above.
When removing casualties from unengaged units with a single rank, Champions and Characters follow the rules for
Matching Bases (see “ ”, page ).
81
Figure 38: Removing R&F models from units En-
gaged in Combat.
This figure shows how models are removed as

casualties from a unit that is Engaged with one
or more enemy units according to Removing R&F
Models from Units Engaged in Combat. In all ex-

in its first rank.

17 Psychology
17.A Panic Test
A Panic Test is a Discipline Test that a unit has to take immediately after any of the following situations arise:
• A friendly unit is destroyed within 6″ of the unit (including Fleeing off the board).
• A friendly unit Breaks from Combat within 6″ of the unit.
• A friendly unit Flees through the unit’s Unit Boundary.
• In a single phase, the unit suffers Health Point losses equal to or greater than 25% of the number of Health
Points that it had at the start of the phase. This does not apply to single model units that started the game as a
single model (i.e. with a starting number of 1 model on the Army List).
Unless specifically stated otherwise, units that fail a Panic Test immediately Flee directly away from the closest
enemy unit (Centre of Unit to Centre of Unit). If several enemy units are equally close, randomise which one the unit
will Flee away from. If there are no enemy units on the Battlefield, randomise the direction. If the Panic Test was
caused by any of the cases listed below, the unit Flees directly away from the enemy unit that caused the Panic Test
(Centre of Unit to Centre of Unit).
• A spell cast by an enemy model
• A Model Rule on an enemy model (such as )
• Losing 25% or more Health Points, and the final wounds causing the Health Point losses to reach or go above
25% were due to an attack by an enemy unit
If several units have to take a Panic Test at the same time, take all Panic Tests before performing any Flee Moves
caused by failed Panic Tests.
Units do not take Panic Tests if they are Engaged in Combat, if they are already Fleeing, or if they already passed a
Panic Test during this phase.
17.B Shaken
Under certain circumstances, models may become Shaken. The most common situations are:
• Charging a Fleeing unit (page )
• Failing a Charge (page )
• Rallying a Fleeing Unit (page )
• Failing a Fear Test (see “ ”, page )
• War Machines failing a Panic Test (see “ ”, page )
• War Machines suffering a Jammed Misfire Effect (page )
A Shaken model cannot perform any of the following actions:

• Declare Charges
• Pursuit
•
• Advance Move
• March Move
• Reform (it can Combat Reform and Post-Combat Reform)
•
83
• Shooting Attack
17.C Fleeing
A unit is considered Fleeing from the moment:
• It fails a Break Test (after potential rerolls)
• It fails a Panic Test (after potential rerolls)
• Its Flee Distance is rolled
As soon as a unit passes its Rally Test, it is no longer considered Fleeing.
When a unit is Fleeing, it cannot perform any voluntary actions (a voluntary action is an action that a unit would
have the option to not perform). This includes (but is not limited to):
• Declare Charges
• Charge Reactions other than Flee
• Move in any way other than a Flee Move
• Shoot
•
• Cast spells or activate One use only Special Items which need to be activated voluntarily
Models cannot receive or from a Fleeing model.
17.D Decimated
A unit is considered Decimated if the sum of the Health Points of its models, including Characters that are part of the
unit, is 25% or less of its starting Health Points (the number taken from the Army List, regardless of any Characters
in the unit). Decimated units must take their Rally Test at half their Discipline, rounding fractions up (this is not
considered a Characteristic modifier).
For example, if a unit with Discipline 8 started the game with 40 models with 1 Health Point each, is reduced to 9
models and Flees, it takes Rally Tests at Discipline 4. However, if a Character with Discipline 8 and 2 Health Points is
part of the unit, the Combined Unit would instead take its Rally Test at Discipline 8.
84
18 Victory Conditions
At the end of the game, players determine the winner of the battle. For this purpose, calculate each player’s Victory
Points, check if any player scored the Secondary Objective, and distribute the Battle Points accordingly as described
below. Of course players may agree to use a different method to determine the winner, e.g. by creating custom
scenarios that set specific goals for each player to claim victory.
18.A Scoring Victory Points

At the end of each game, each player is awarded a number of Victory Points (VP) according to the rules below.
Destroyed Units For each enemy unit that has been removed as a casualty, you gain a number of VP equal
to its Point Cost.
Fleeing Units For each enemy unit that is Fleeing at the end of the game, you gain a number of VP equal
to half its Point Cost, rounding fractions up.
Shattered Units For each enemy unit that is at 25% or less of its starting Health Points (of the number
taken from the Army List) at the end of the game, you gain a number of VP equal to half
its Point Cost, rounding fractions up. Characters are counted separately from the units
they have joined. Note that if an enemy unit is both Fleeing and Shattered, you gain a
number of VP equal to the unit’s total Point Cost.
Defeated If the enemy General was removed as a casualty, you gain 200 VP.
General
Defeated Battle If the enemy Battle Standard Bearer was removed as a casualty, you gain 200 VP.
Standard Bearer
18.B Scoring Secondary Objectives

The Secondary Objective selected at the start of the game can grant extra Battle Points (see “ ”,
page , and table below).
18.C Who is the Winner?

Once all Victory Points are added together, a total of 20 Battle Points are divided between the players, depending
on the Victory Point Difference. Calculate the Victory Point Difference and use table below to convert the Victory
Points into Battle Points. The winner of the Secondary Objective gains 3 additional Battle Points while the loser of
the Secondary Objective loses 3 Battle Points. In case there is no winner, the Secondary Objective ends in a draw and
no additional Battle Points are awarded to either player.
18.C.a Optional Simplified Rules for Determining the Winner

Winning the Secondary Objective awards the winner a number of Victory Points equal to 20% of the Army
Points. Once all Victory Points are added together, compare the two results.
• If the Victory Point Difference is less than 10% of the Army Points, the result is a Draw.
• If the Victory Point Difference is at least 10% and up to 50% of the Army Points, the result is a Win for
the player who scored higher.
• If the Victory Point Difference is more than 50% of the Army Points, the result is a Massacre for the player
who scored higher.

19 Model Classification
19.A Classification of Models
All models have a Height and a Type, defined in their unit entry.
19.A.a Height
Models come in three Heights, which are connected to the following rules:
Standard Large Gigantic
Model Rules None
Full Ranks
Minimum number of models required to 5 3 1
form Full Ranks
Supporting Attacks
1 3 5
Maximum number of Supporting Attacks
Dangerous Terrain
Number of D6 rolled when performing 1 2 3
Dangerous Terrain Tests
19.A.b Type
Models come in four Types, which are associated with the following rules:
Infantry Beast Cavalry Construct
Cannot use
None
19.A.c Models on Foot and Mounted Models

Certain spells and rules affect models on foot and mounted models differently.
Models that don’t include any model parts with are considered to be on foot.
Models with at least one model part with Harnessed are considered to be mounted.
87
19.B Character Mounts
Many Characters can select mounts from the mount section of their Army Book. When a Character, referred to as the
rider, selects a mount, apply the following rules:
19.B.1 Height, Type, and Base

Always use the Height, Type, and base of the mount.
19.B.2 Offensive Characteristics

Rider and mount use their own respective Offensive Characteristics.
19.B.3 Global and Defensive Characteristics

The Multipart Model has a single set of Global Characteristics and a single set of Defensive Characteristics. Always use
the values in the mount’s profile, except when that value is “C”. In this case, “C” refers to the value in the Character’s
profile which is used instead. Sometimes, a value is written as “C + X”. In this case, use the Character’s value, increased
by X.
For example, if a Character (Armour 0) rides a horse (Armour C + 2), wears Heavy Armour (+2 Armour), and carries
a Shield (+1 Armour), the Multipart Model has an Armour equal to: 0 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 5.
19.B.4 Model Rules

Model Rules connected to specific model parts (such as Attack Attributes, Special Attacks, and weapons) are only
applied to this model part. Other Model Rules (such as Universal Rules, Character, Armour, and Personal Protections)
are applied to the Multipart Model as normal.
Remember that models with (all models of Gigantic Height) ignore Armour and Personal Protections
from the rider.
19.C Classification of Units

Some rules call for a unit’s Height or Type, e.g. for determining how many models are required for Full Ranks. In
case a unit contains a mix of different Heights the unit’s Height is the same as that of the largest fraction of its models.
Likewise, a unit’s Type is the same as that of the largest fraction of its models. In case of a tie, the opponent chooses
which fraction to use.
88
20 Terrain
20.A Terrain Types
20.A.a Dangerous Terrain (X)
A model must take a Dangerous Terrain Test if it is in contact with a Terrain Feature that counts as Dangerous Terrain
at any point during its March, Charge, Failed Charge, Flee, Pursuit, or Overrun Move. Take a Dangerous Terrain Test
by rolling a number of D6 depending on the model’s Height and Model Rules:
Standard Large Gigantic Chariot

Number of D6 rolled 1 2 3 +1
For each dice that rolled equal to or below X (where X is the value stated in brackets), the model suffers a hit with
Armour Penetration 10 that wounds automatically.
Note that:
• Dangerous Terrain Tests are taken as soon as the model is in contact with the relevant Terrain. If it does not
matter exactly when a model is removed as a casualty, take all Dangerous Terrain Tests for a unit at the same
time.
• Hits suffered from Dangerous Terrain Tests are distributed onto the model’s Health Pool.
• A model never takes more than one Dangerous Terrain Test for the same Terrain Feature during a single move,
but it might have to take several Dangerous Terrain Tests caused by different Terrain Features or abilities.
20.A.b Opaque Terrain

Line of Sight cannot be drawn through Opaque Terrain, but can be drawn into it. Models always ignore any Terrain
they are inside for drawing Line of Sight.
20.A.c Covering Terrain

Like models, Terrain Features may contribute to Cover when obscuring a fraction of the Target Facing or the Target
Point from the enemy’s Line of Sight (see “ ”, page , and remember that Cover modifiers only apply if more
than half of the Target Facing or the Target Point is obscured by Cover).
For the purpose of counting as Cover, Terrain Features may distinguish:
• Targets obscured behind the Terrain Feature. These units must have more than half of their Target Facing or
their Target Point off the Terrain Feature, and the part of the Terrain Feature obscuring Line of Sight must be
between the shooting model and its target.
• Targets obscured inside the Terrain Feature. These units must have more than half of their Target Facing or
their Target Point inside the Terrain Feature.
• Targets obscured behind and/or inside the Terrain Feature: there is no need to determine where more than
half of these units’ Target Facing or their Target Point lies (as long as it is obscured).
Models always ignore any Terrain they are inside for drawing Line of Sight.
89
20.B Terrain Features
A Terrain Feature is a topographical area on the Battlefield that may be a mixture of Dangerous, Impassable, Opaque,
or Covering Terrain and may possess its own set of rules.
20.B.a Open Terrain

Open Terrain normally doesn’t have any effect on Line of Sight, Cover modifiers, or movement. All parts of the board
that are not covered by any other kind of Terrain are considered to be Open Terrain.
20.B.b Fields
Fields can be represented in the game for example by meadows or agricultural fields.
Types Fields are for units inside them.

Cover Fields contribute to , except for models with .
20.B.c Forests
Forests can be represented in the game for example by jungles, brushwoods, or coniferous forests.
Types Forests are for units inside and/or behind them, and
for Cavalry, Constructs, and units making a .
Cover Forests contribute to .
Broken Units with more than half of their models with the centre of their base inside a Forest can
Ranks never be , unless specifically stated otherwise.
Guerilla Units consisting entirely of Infantry models with are if more than
Warfare half of their models are inside a Forest with the centre of their bases, unless any model in
the unit has and/or .
20.B.d Hills
Hills can be represented in the game for example by elevated plateaus or burial mounds.
Types Hills are .

Hills are for units behind them.
Cover Hills contribute to for targets behind but partially on them.
Hills contribute to for targets behind and entirely off them.
Elevated Models with the centre of their base on a Hill are considered to be Elevated. Ignore all
Position intervening non-Elevated models if you are:
• drawing Line of Sight to or from Elevated models.
• determining Cover when shooting with:
– Elevated models.
– non-Elevated models at units which have more than half of their models Elevated.
Charging A unit initiating a Charge Move with more than half of its models with the centre of their
Downhill base on a Hill towards an enemy with more than half of its models with the centre of their
base off a Hill must reroll failed Charge Range rolls.
90
20.B.e Impassable Terrain
Impassable Terrain can be represented in the game for example by monoliths, massive boulders, or buildings.
Types Impassable Terrain is .

Cover Impassable Terrain contributes to for units behind it.
Mission Models cannot move into or through Impassable Terrain.
Impassible
20.B.f Ruins
Ruins can be represented in the game for example by rubble or abandoned farmsteads.
Types Ruins are for units inside them, for Cavalry and
Constructs, and for any other unit. Units with automatically
pass Dangerous Terrain Tests caused by Ruins.
Cover Ruins contribute to , except for models with .
20.B.g Walls
Walls can be represented in the game for example by wooden barricades, stone walls, or hedges.
Types Walls are for models behind them while Defending the Wall (see below)
and for Constructs.
Cover Walls contribute to , except for models with .
Defending a In order to Defend a Wall, more than half of a unit’s Front Facing must be in contact with it.
Wall
Fortified Units Defending a Wall gain against Close Combat Attacks from Charging enemies
Position in their Front Facing.
20.B.h Water Terrain

Water Terrain can be represented in the game for example by ponds, swamps, or rivers.
Types Water Terrain is for Standard Height models on foot.

Broken Units with more than half of their models with the centre of their base inside Water Terrain
Ranks can never be , unless specifically stated otherwise.
Doused All Melee Attacks against or by models in units with more than half of their models with the
Flames centre of their base inside Water Terrain are no longer (if they were before).
20.C Board Edge

The Board Edge represents the boundaries of the game. A unit is allowed to temporarily and partially move off the
board (during any move) with by the following restrictions:
• The unit’s Front Facing must remain entirely on the board at all times, except during .
• The unit must finish its move with its Unit Boundary entirely on the board.
91
21 Model Rules
Model Rules are rules that are applied to individual models or model parts, as described in their unit entry. They are
divided into the following categories: Universal Rules, Character, Personal Protections, Armour Equipment, Weapons,
Attack Attributes, and Special Attacks.
Duplicated Model Rules

Sometimes a model or model part may have the same Model Rule more than once, for example when a model gains a
Model Rule during the game that it already had before. In this case, the effects of the duplicated Model Rule do not
stack and do not offer any additional benefit, unless specifically stated otherwise.
If the duplicated Model Rule has different values in brackets (X), use the highest value.
If X is the result of a dice roll, you may instead choose which version to use (before rolling any dice).
92
If X is not a value, the Model Rules are not considered to be duplicates of the same Model Rule and both rules are
applied (e.g. Hatred (against Infantry) and Hatred (against Cavalry) are considered two different Model Rules, so
both effects are applied).
21.A Universal Rules

If at least one model part has a Universal Rule, the entire Multipart Model is affected by it.
For example, in case of a Character with the Universal Rule on a Character mount without this Universal Rule,
all model parts of the Multipart Model (Character and mount) benefit from Strider.
21.A.a List of Universal Rules

21.A.a.1 Ambush
Units with Ambush may be deployed using Special Deployment rules. All units that will be deployed using the
Ambush rule must be declared at step 8 of the (after Spell Selection), starting with the player
that chose their Deployment Zone. Deploy your army as usual, but without the Ambushing units. Starting with
your Player Turn 2, immediately after step 2 of the (after moving units with
), roll a dice for each of your Ambushing units. After rolling for all Ambushing units, all units that rolled 3+
enter the Battlefield from any Board Edge. Place the arriving units with their Rear Facing in contact and aligned with
the Board Edge. Ambushers are subject to the following rules and restrictions:
• Ambushing models can neither March Move during the Movement Phase in which they arrive, nor can they
voluntarily end that Movement Phase farther away from the Board Edge that they arrived from than their
March Rate.
• Ambushing models count as having moved during the turn they arrive on the Battlefield.
• If an Ambushing unit has not entered the Battlefield before the end of the game (e.g. due to failing all its 3+
rolls), the unit counts as destroyed.
• An Ambushing unit that enters the Battlefield on Game Turn 4 or later loses .
• An Ambushing Character may Ambush within an Ambushing unit that it is allowed to join (declare this when
declaring which units are Ambushing). Roll only one dice for the Combined Unit.
• Until arriving on the Battlefield, Ambushing units cannot perform any actions at all, and all their Special Items,
rules, and abilities don’t work while off the board.
21.A.a.2 Battle Standard Bearer – One of a Kind

An army may only include a single Battle Standard Bearer. The model gains and .
If the model has the option to buy Special Items, it is allowed to buy up to two Banner Enchantments.
21.A.a.3 Bodyguard (X)

While a Character is joined to a unit in which at least one model has Bodyguard, that Character gains .
When Characters or Character types are stated in brackets, Bodyguard only works for the specified Characters or
Character types.
21.A.a.4 Channel (X)

During step 3 of the , each of the Active Player’s models with Channel may add X Veil Tokens
to its owner’s Veil Token pool. This Universal Rule is cumulative, adding the X of each instance of Channel to the
model’s total Channel value (e.g. a model with Channel (1) and Channel (2) is treated like a model with Channel (3)).
21.A.a.5 Chariot
The model must roll an additional D6 when taking . A model with Chariot can only be part
of a unit consisting entirely of models with Chariot, unless specifically stated otherwise.
93
21.A.a.6 Commanding Presence
All have the Commanding Presence Universal Rule. The Discipline of all units within 12″ of a friendly
non-Fleeing model with Commanding Presence may be set to the Discipline value of that model (this ability follows
the normal rules for “ ”, page , meaning that effects modifying the Discipline of the
model with Commanding Presence are applied before setting the recipient model’s Discipline to that value; this
value may then be further modified).
21.A.a.7 Engineer (X+)

Once per Shooting Phase, an unengaged Engineer may select a single within 6″ that has not fired yet to
gain the following effects:
• Set the Aim of one of the War Machine’s Artillery Weapons to the value given in brackets (X+).
• You may reroll the roll on the .
• You may reroll the dice (all of them or none) for determining the number of hits of a Artillery
Weapon.
21.A.a.8 Fear
Units in base contact with one or more enemy models with Fear suffer −1 Discipline. At the start of each Round
of Combat, such units must take a , called a Fear Test. If this test is failed, the models in the unit are
and Close Combat Attacks made by models in the unit suffer −1 to hit, while Close Combat Attacks allocated
towards models in the unit gain +1 to hit. These effects apply until the end of the Round of Combat. Models that have
Fear themselves are immune to the effects of Fear.
21.A.a.9 Fearless
If more than half of a unit’s models are Fearless, the unit automatically passes and cannot declare a Flee
Charge Reaction, unless already Fleeing. Models that are Fearless are also immune to the effects of .
21.A.a.10 Feigned Flight

Units consisting entirely of models with Feigned Flight do not become if they voluntarily choose Flee as
Charge Reaction and pass their in their next Player Turn. The after Rallying in this case does not
prevent the unit from moving nor from shooting, but the unit still counts as having moved. This rule does not apply
if a unit fails to rally on the next friendly Player Turn or Flees involuntarily (e.g. as the result of a failed , or
if it was already Fleeing when being Charged).
21.A.a.11 Fly (X, Y)

Units composed entirely of models with Fly may use Flying Movement during , ,
, and . When a unit uses Flying Movement, substitute its models’ Advance Rate with the
first value given in brackets (X), and their March Rate with the second value given in brackets (Y). A unit using Flying
Movement ignores all Terrain Features and units during the Flying Movement. Note that:
• It must follow the rule at the end of the move.
• It is affected by the Terrain Features from which it takes off and in which it lands.
• All modifiers to ground movement values also apply to a model’s Fly values, unless specifically stated otherwise.
• When declaring a Charge with a unit with Fly, you must declare if the unit will not use Flying Movement for the
Charge Move.
• A Failed Charge Move of a unit with Fly must use the type of movement (ground or Flying) that was chosen
when the Charge was declared. If the unit would end its Failed Charge Move inside another unit’s Unit Boundary
or inside Impassable Terrain, backtrack the move to the unit’s last legal position where it follows the
rule.
94
21.A.a.12 Frenzy
At the start of the Charge Phase, each of your units with at least one model with Frenzy that could declare a Charge
against an enemy unit within the unit’s Advance Rate +7″ must take a , called a Frenzy Test. If the test
is failed, the whole unit must declare a Charge this Player Turn if possible.
Frenzy Tests and Restrain Pursuit Tests taken by units with at least one model with Frenzy are subject to
.
If there are different Advance Rates available in the unit, the Advance Rate used for the Frenzy Test and for the
Charge Range is determined as follows:
• If a model has more than one Advance Rate (e.g. due to ), the model must use the Advance Rate that has the
highest chance of completing the Charge.
• If a unit contains models with different Advance Rates, the unit must use the highest Advance Rate that all
models in the unit can use (which will usually be the lowest Advance Rate in the unit).
For example, a model with Advance Rate 2″ and Fly (8″, 16″) must use the Advance Rate from Fly. And if a Character
in a Combined Unit has Advance Rate 4″ while the R&F models have 6″, the Combined Unit must use Advance Rate 4″.
Note that when a unit is forced to declare a Charge due to a failed Frenzy Test, it is not forced to Charge the enemy
unit that triggered the Frenzy Test.
21.A.a.13 Front Rank

Front Rank specifies where in a unit the model may be placed and how the model moves inside its unit.
A model with Front Rank must always be placed as far forwards as possible in its unit. This normally means that it
must be placed in the first rank unless specifically stated otherwise.
When making an Advance Move, March Move, or Reform with a unit that includes models with Front Rank, these
models can be reorganised into a new position (still as far forwards as possible) as part of the move. This counts
towards the distance moved by the unit (measure the distance from the starting position to the ending position of
the centre of the model with Front Rank to determine how far it has moved).
A model with Front Rank can either have a Matching Base or a Mismatching Base.
Matching Bases
In Combined Units containing Characters and R&F models, a Character is considered to have a Matching Base if:
• The model has the same base size as the R&F models.
• The model’s base is the same size as a multiple of the R&F models’ bases (such as a 40×40 mm base in a 20×20
mm unit).
For Combined Units consisting entirely of Characters, Matching Bases are determined differently as these units do
not contain any R&F models. The R&F base size for the purposes of Matching Bases must:
• Correspond to the base size of at least one of the Characters
• Result in as few Characters as possible having Mismatching Bases; the owner chooses in case of a tie
For example, in a unit consisting of a 25×25 mm Character and two 25×50 mm Characters, that base size is 25×25
mm, as it does not result in any Mismatching Bases in the unit.
If the first rank is occupied by models with Front Rank, a model with Matching Base is placed in the second rank
instead. If this rank is also occupied by models with Front Rank, it is placed in the third rank, and so on. Matching
Bases are subject to the following rules and restrictions:
• If the model has a larger base than the R&F models, it is considered to be in all ranks its base occupies for the
purposes of calculating . For calculating the number of models in the unit’s ranks (e.g. for Full Ranks,
, ), the large base counts as the number of models it replaces.
• If a model with a Matching Base has a longer base than the R&F models in the unit, the unit is allowed to have
more than one incomplete rank if all incomplete ranks after the first consist entirely of models with such bases
(for instance the rear parts of long bases such as War Platforms are allowed to form several incomplete ranks).
• A model cannot join a unit that has more than one rank if its base is wider than the unit it wishes to join, nor
can a unit into a formation that is narrower than any model joined to the unit.
95
If a model with Front Rank moves inside or leaves a unit that has more than one rank, or if it is removed from such a
unit as a casualty, the gap the model leaves must be filled with models without Front Rank. If there aren’t any models
without Front Rank available, move models with Front Rank instead. After filling a gap, sometimes models with
Front Rank must be redistributed in order for all such models to be as far forwards as possible. When this happens,
move as few models as possible in order to have all models with Front Rank as far forwards as possible.
If a model with Front Rank moves inside or leaves a unit that has a single rank, or if it is removed from such a unit as a
casualty, gaps may be created in the unit. If this leads to an illegal formation (there can only be gaps in an incomplete
rear rank; see “ ”, page ), slide as few models as possible to fill the now empty spot. In case of a draw, i.e. if the
model was positioned in the middle of the rank, the owner decides which half of the remaining models to slide.
Mismatching Bases
Anything that is not a Matching Base is a Mismatching Base (such as a 50×75 mm base inside a 25×50 mm unit).
A model with Mismatching Base is always placed in base contact to the side of the unit, aligned with its front. Only
two Mismatching Bases can be joined to a single unit (one at each side). These models are considered to be only in
the first rank, but are ignored when counting the number of models in each rank in order to establish the number of
and whether or not a unit is in . They form a file of one model each.
During Advance Moves, March Moves, or Reforms, models with Mismatching Bases can only be moved to the other
side of the unit as part of the move.
Figure shows how models with Front Rank can be placed in a complex case.
a) b)
Figure 39: Illustration of the Front Rank rule.
Yellow models have Front Rank, green models do not.
a) A Character on a Mismatching Base is placed next to the unit. Characters on Matching Bases are placed inside the
unit, as far forwards as possible. This unit is considered to have 3 Full Ranks.
b) When a model with Front Rank joins the unit, the small model with Front Rank in the second rank must be moved
to the side in order to have all models with Front Rank as far forwards as possible.
21.A.a.14 Ghost Step

The model may choose to treat all Terrain Features as for movement purposes, but must follow the
rule upon the completion of its moves. It can never end its move inside Impassable Terrain. If this
would be the case, backtrack the move to the unit’s last legal position (unless Fleeing, in which case the normal rules
for “ ”, page apply).
In addition, the model automatically passes Dangerous Terrain Tests taken due to Terrain.
21.A.a.15 Insignificant
Units consisting entirely of Insignificant models only cause on friendly units in which half the models or
more are Insignificant. Units with Insignificant R&F models can only be joined by Insignificant Characters.
96
21.A.a.16 Light Troops
A unit composed entirely of models with Light Troops applies the following rules for Advance Moves and March
Moves:
• The unit may perform any number of , at any time during the move, and in any order. This does not
prevent models with Light Troops from shooting this Player Turn.
• The unit can move backwards and sideways as if moving forwards (i.e. up to its Advance/March Rate), but
cannot leave the board with any part of its Unit Boundary.
• The unit cannot perform any Wheels.
In addition:
• Units composed entirely of models with Light Troops gain .
• Units with more than half of their models with Light Troops always count as having 0 .
• Infantry Characters gain Light Troops while joined to Infantry units of the same Height with Light Troops.
21.A.a.17 Magic Resistance (X)

Learned Spells and Bound Spells targeting at least one enemy unit with one or more models with Magic Resistance
suffer a −X modifier to their casting roll (where X is given in brackets). This is an exception to the Casting and
Dispelling Modifier rule. If there are different X values that could be used, use the highest value.
21.A.a.18 Massive Bulk

If the model is mounted by a Character, ignore the rider’s Armour Equipment (including Armour Enchantments) and
Personal Protections, unless specifically stated otherwise (such as Armour Enchantments that affect the bearer’s
model).
21.A.a.19 Not a Leader

The model cannot be the .
21.A.a.20 Protean Magic

During , the Wizard must select its spells from the 1 of each Path it has access to, as well
as the of its army. This rule overrides the Spell Selection rules for Wizard , , and
.
21.A.a.21 Rally Around the Flag

All units within 12″ of a friendly non-Fleeing model with Rally Around the Flag may reroll failed .
21.A.a.22 Random Movement (X)

At the end of step 2 of the (after Rallying Fleeing Units), a non-Fleeing unit with Random
Movement must move using the rules for , with the following exceptions, which only apply in the
Movement Phase, unless specifically stated otherwise:
• It always moves the distance stated in brackets (X), which is also used for Flee Distance and Pursuit Distance
(including ).
• It can choose which direction to Pivot in before rolling the Pursuit Distance.
• It cannot move off the Board Edge.
• It does not take unless Charging.
There are several restrictions connected with Random Movement:
• The unit cannot move normally in the Movement Phase (Advance, March, Reform) and cannot declare Charges
in the Charge Phase. Whenever it requires a March Rate (e.g. when ), use the potential
maximum value of X as its March Rate.
• The unit cannot perform .
97
• The unit loses and can never gain it (but X can be affected by Maximised/Minimised Roll from other
sources).
• Characters with Random Movement cannot join units, and units with Random Movement cannot be joined by
Characters. Note that Characters that are part of a Combined Unit when the unit gains Random Movement will
gain Random Movement too as they are already part of that unit.
• If the unit has several instances of Random Movement, use the one with the lowest average (the owner chooses
in case of a tie).
21.A.a.23 Scoring
Units with at least one model with Scoring are considered to be Scoring Units, which are used for winning Secondary
Objectives (see “ ”, page ). Every army needs Scoring Units to be able to complete Secondary
Objectives, which is why units with Scoring are marked in the Army Books with a special pennant icon:
debug debug
Scoring can be lost during the game:
• A unit that is Fleeing loses Scoring for as long as it is Fleeing.
• An unit that enters the Battlefield on Game Turn 4 or later loses Scoring for the rest of the game.
• A unit that has performed a loses Scoring until the start of the following Player Turn.
• A model loses Scoring until the end of Game Turn 1.
21.A.a.24 Scout
Units with Scout may be deployed using Special Deployment rules. All units that will be deployed using the Scout
rule must be declared at step 8 of the Pre-Game Sequence (after Spell Selection), starting with the player that chose
their Deployment Zone. Scout deployment is conducted on Step 5 of the Deployment Phase (Deploy Scouting Units).
If both players have Scouting units, alternate unit placement (one unit at a time), starting with the player who first
completed their normal deployment. Scouting units have three deployment options:
• Fully inside your Deployment Zone, using the normal deployment rules
• Anywhere on the Battlefield at least 18″ away from enemy units
• Anywhere on the Battlefield fully inside a Field, Forest, Ruins, or Water Terrain Feature and at least 12″ away
from enemy units
Scouting units that aren’t placed fully inside their Deployment Zone may not declare Charges in the first Player Turn
of the first Game Turn (there are no Scout Charge restrictions after the first Player Turn).
21.A.a.25 Skirmisher
The model can always use Shooting Attacks from any rank (models with Skirmisher are not limited to shooting from
first and second rank).
Units with at least one R&F model with Skirmisher are formed into a skirmish formation. They are not placed in base
contact with each other. Instead, models are placed with a 12.5 mm distance (roughly half an inch) between them.
This gap is considered part of the unit for Cover purposes, and will have the same Height as the models in the unit.
Other than this gap between models, units with Skirmisher follow the normal rules for forming units and therefore
have a Front, two Flank, and a Rear Facing, can perform Supporting Attacks, and so on. Units in skirmish formation
never block Line of Sight (remember that this also affects Cover as they can never contribute to Hard Cover).
Units in skirmish formation can only be joined by Characters that have both the same Type and the same Height as
the unit. Unless a Character has the exact same base size as all R&F models in the unit, it is considered Mismatched
for the purpose of placement within the unit. The unit ceases to be in skirmish formation when all R&F models
with Skirmisher are removed as a casualty: immediately contract their skirmish formation into a normal formation,
without moving the centre of the first rank. Nudge any unit as normal to maintain base contact if possible.
See figure for an illustration of this rule.

a) An example of a unit in skirmish formation with a joined Mismatching Character.
b) The same unit Engaged in Combat. Models with bold frame can attack a Character (either 𝐶1 or 𝐶2 ).
Models with dashed frame cannot attack at all.
21.A.a.26 Stand Behind

The model can be placed anywhere inside its unit (it doesn’t have to be placed as far forwards as possible, even if it
has ). It cannot be placed farther forwards inside a unit than any model with Front Rank but without
Stand Behind. Ignore Stand Behind for models with Mismatching Bases.
21.A.a.27 Strider
The model automatically passes Tests caused by Terrain. If more than half of a unit’s models have
Strider, the unit never loses due to Terrain. Sometimes Strider is linked to a specific type of Terrain, stated
in brackets. In this case, Strider only applies when interacting with this type of Terrain.
21.A.a.28 Stubborn
A unit with at least one model with Stubborn ignores Discipline modifiers from the Combat Score difference when
taking or Discipline Tests.
21.A.a.29 Supernal
All attacks made by the model become , including Special Attacks and . In addition,
the model gains , with the following exception: when a unit consisting entirely of models with Supernal
loses a combat, it must take a ( or units ignore Discipline modifiers from the Combat
Score difference as normal):
• If the Break Test is passed, ignore all Health Points that would be lost due to Unstable.
• If the Break Test is failed, follow the rules for Unstable as normal.
21.A.a.30 Swift Reform

During the Movement Phase, a unit containing one or more models with Swift Reform may execute a Swift Reform
instead of a . The unit makes a Reform with the following exceptions:
• The unit is not prohibited from shooting in the next Shooting Phase (but will still suffer the to-hit modifier for
moving and shooting).
• The unit can perform an after the Reform. For the purpose of no model being able to end its
movement with its centre farther away than its Advance Rate from its starting position, measure this distance
after the Reform.
• No model can end its movement (after an Advance Move) with its centre farther away than its March Rate
from its starting position before the Reform.
99
21.A.a.31 Swiftstride
If a unit is composed entirely of models with Swiftstride, its rolls for Charge Range, Flee Distance, Pursuit Distance,
and Overrun Distance are subject to .
21.A.a.32 Tall
drawn to or from a model with Tall is not blocked by models of the same Height (as the model with
Tall), unless the intervening model also has Tall. Remember that this also affects (if a model blocks Line of
Sight it contributes to Hard Cover, otherwise only to Soft Cover).
21.A.a.33 Terror
The model is immune to the effects of Terror. When a unit with one or more models with Terror declares a Charge,
its target must immediately take a before declaring its Charge Reaction. If the test is failed, the target of
the Charge must declare a Flee Charge Reaction if able to do so.
21.A.a.34 Towering Presence

The model gains and can never be joined or join a unit (unless it is a ). A model with Towering
Presence increases its and ranges by 6″.
21.A.a.35 Unbreakable
The model’s unit automatically passes all . Models with Unbreakable can only join or be joined by models
with Unbreakable.
21.A.a.36 Undead
The model gains . Models with Undead cannot perform March Moves, unless their unit starts the March
Move within the range of a friendly model’s . The only Charge Reaction a unit with one or
more models with Undead can perform is Hold.
When units consisting entirely of models with Undead lose Health Points due to , the number of lost Health
Points can be reduced in certain situations. Apply the modifiers in the following order:
1. If the unit contains at least one model with , halve the number of lost Health Points, rounding fractions
up.
2. If the unit is , ignore any excess Health Point losses above 12.
3. If the unit receives , reduce the number of lost Health Points by the unit’s current Rank
Bonus. Units without any Rank Bonus reduce the number of lost Health Points by 1 instead.
4. Apply all other modifiers (from Special Items, Model Rules, spells, etc.) afterwards.
21.A.a.37 Unstable
Models with Unstable can only join or be joined by models with Unstable. A unit with one or more models with
Unstable does not take a when losing a Round of Combat, but instead it loses one Health Point for each
point of Combat Score difference by which it lost the Round of Combat (with no saves of any kind allowed).
The Health Point losses are allotted in the following order:
1. R&F models, excluding Champions
2. Champion
3. Characters, allotted by the owner of the unit as evenly as possible
21.A.a.38 Vanguard (X)

After Deployment (including units), models with Vanguard may perform a 12″ move. This move is performed
as a combination of and/or , as in the Movement Phase, including any actions and restrictions
that normally apply to the unit (e.g. , joining units, leaving units, and so on). The 12″ distance is used
instead of the unit’s Advance Rate and March Rate. In case a figure is stated in brackets, this distance is X″ instead.
100
This move cannot be used to move within 12″ of enemy units. This is decreased to 6″ for enemy units that have
either Scouted or Vanguarded.
If both players have units with Vanguard, alternate moving units one at a time, starting with the player that finished
deploying last (note that this is an exception to the rules for Simultaneous Effects). A Combined Unit counts as a single
unit for this purpose even if parts of the unit perform separate Vanguard moves (like two Characters Vanguarding
out of a Combined Unit). Any game effects that would affect the Combined Unit (such as Banner Enchantments)
remain in effect for all parts of the Combined Unit until all parts of the Combined Unit have finished their Vanguard
move (even if a Character leaves the unit). Instead of moving a unit, a player may declare to not move any more
Vanguarding units.
Units that have moved this way lose Scoring until the end of Game Turn 1 and may not declare Charges in the first
Player Turn (if their side has the first turn).
21.A.a.39 War Machine

The model cannot Pursue (which does not prevent it from being affected by Random Movement), declare Charges, or
declare Flee Charge Reactions. Characters can never join units with War Machine, and Characters with War Machine
cannot join units.
When a War Machine fails a , instead of Fleeing it is until the end of the next Player Turn. War
Machines that fail a are automatically destroyed. War Machines on round bases and units Engaged in
Combat with them cannot make .
When a unit Charges a War Machine on a round base, it can move into base contact by having its Front Facing contact
any point of the War Machine’s base (it must still maximise the number of models in base contact, see “
”, page and figure , page ). No is allowed.
When a unit Breaks from Combat and Flees away from a War Machine on a round base, always Pivot the Fleeing unit
180°, so that it’s Rear Facing is in contact with the War Machine’s base. Otherwise follow the normal rules for units
Breaking from Combat and Fleeing.
21.A.a.40 War Platform

Unless selected as a mount for a Character, a model with War Platform gains with the following exceptions:
• It does not count towards the Characters Army Category (for Army List creation).
• It does not count as Character when Deploying Units (it may still be deployed inside units).
• It cannot , , or .
• It can perform .
• It does not count as Character regarding and , unless the War Platform is specifically
mentioned in the Bodyguard rule.
The model can join units even if it has , and having does not prevent it from joining units
without Chariot. Additionally, it does not prevent Characters without Chariot from joining a unit containing a model
with War Platform and Chariot. When joined to a unit, it must always be placed in the centre of the first rank, possibly
pushing back other models with , and must keep its position in the centre of the first rank at all times (as
long as it is joined to the unit). If two positions are equally central (e.g. in a unit with an even number of models in
the first rank and a replacing an uneven number of models per rank), the War Platform can be placed
in either of these positions. If the War Platform cannot be placed in the centre of the the first rank, the model cannot
join the unit. A War Platform with Mismatching Base can never join a unit, and only a single War Platform can be in
the same unit unless specifically stated otherwise.
21.A.a.41 Wizard Apprentice

The Wizard selects its spells as described in “ ”, page .
21.A.a.42 Wizard Adept

The Wizard gains and selects its spells as described in “ ”, page .
101
21.A.a.43 Wizard Master
The Wizard gains and a +1 modifier to its casting rolls, and selects its spells as described in “
”, page .
21.A.a.44 Wizard Conclave

The Champion of a unit with Wizard Conclave is a and gains +1 Health Point in addition to the
normal Attack Value increase associated with being a . This Champion may select up to two spells from
predetermined spells given in the unit entry. This overrides the rules for Wizard Adepts.
21.B Character
Character is a special type of Universal Rule. Unless specifically stated otherwise, any model bought as part of the
Characters Army Category of an Army Book has the Character Universal Rule. A model with this rule is referred to as
a Character.
All Characters gain the Universal Rule.
21.B.a Lone Characters

Characters can operate as a unit consisting of just a single model. In this case, follow the normal rules for units.
21.B.b Characters Joined to Units

Characters can operate as part of other units, by joining them. This can be done either by deploying the Character in
the unit or by moving into contact with the unit during the Movement Phase while performing an Advance Move or a
March Move. Units that are Engaged in Combat or Fleeing cannot be joined.
Characters can join other Characters to form a unit consisting only of Characters.
Units that are formed by Characters joining R&F models or other Characters are referred to as Combined Units.
When a Character joins a unit, it must move into a legal position during its Advance or March Move (see “ ”,
page ). A Character can choose any legal position it can reach with its move, moving through the unit it joins,
possibly displacing other models (including models with Front Rank). Move displaced models as little as possible in
order to keep all models in legal positions. If the Character does not have a sufficient movement range to reach a
legal position, it cannot join the unit.
When a Character joins a unit with just a single rank, the owner can choose to either displace a model to the second
rank, or to expand the unit’s width and place the displaced model at either side of the first rank.
When a unit is joined by a Character, the unit cannot move any farther in the same Movement Phase. For determining
which model counts as having moved or Marched (e.g. for purposes of shooting), the Character and the unit are
treated individually during the Player Turn in which the Character joined the unit. For example, if the unit hasn’t
moved and the Character has Marched in order to join the unit, the Character counts as having Marched, while the
rest of the unit counts as not having moved at all.
Once joined to a unit, the Character is considered as part of the unit for all rules purposes.
21.B.c R&F Models in a Combined Unit Wiped out

If a Combined Unit has all its R&F models removed as casualties, leaving one or more Characters behind, the remaining
Characters will stay a Combined Unit, which is considered to be the same unit for ongoing effects (such as
spells) and (the unit has not been destroyed; the Characters in this Combined Unit may have to take a Panic
Test if they have suffered 25% or more casualties). They are treated as a new unit for (i.e. Characters that
were part of Fleeing Combined Units at 25% or less of their starting number of Health Points take Rally Tests on
their normal Discipline).
102
21.B.d Leaving a Combined Unit
A Character can leave a Combined Unit in the Charge Phase and in the Movement Phase if it is able to move (i.e. if it
isn’t Engaged in Combat, hasn’t already moved, isn’t Fleeing, etc.). In both cases, any game effects that would affect
the Combined Unit (such as Banner Enchantments) remain in effect for all parts of the Combined Unit until the end
of the phase (even if a Character leaves the unit), unless specifically stated otherwise (e.g. One Turn spells). The
Character ignores models from the Combined Unit for movement purposes and may make a Flying Movement (if it
has ). Characters leaving a unit do not affect whether or not this unit counts as having moved (e.g. for purposes of
shooting).
21.B.d.1 Charging out of a Unit

Declare a Charge with a Character in a Combined Unit (during the Charge Phase as normal) and apply the following
rules:
• Use the Character’s model for determining Line of Sight and distance to the enemy unit.
• As soon as the Character declares a Charge, it is considered a separate unit (i.e. it uses its own Advance Rate,
all hits from Stand and Shoot Charge Reactions will hit the Character, in case of a Flee Charge Reaction the
enemy unit Flees away from the Character, etc.).
• Ignore the unit the Character was part of when determining Line of Sight and cover for Stand and Shoot Charge
Reactions.
• The unit itself (including other Characters in the unit) cannot declare Charges in the same Player Turn.
• If the Charge is successful, move the Character out of the unit by Charging as normal.
• If the Charge is not successful, the Character makes a out of the unit. If the Failed Charge
Move is too short to place the Character outside 1″ of the Combined Unit, the Character is no longer considered
a separate unit and remains in the Combined Unit. All the models in the Combined Unit are until the
end of the Player Turn.
21.B.d.2 Advance/March Moving out of a Combined Unit

A Character counts as part of the unit until it has physically left it. If a Character does not have enough movement to
be placed at least 1″ away from the unit, it cannot leave the unit. A Character cannot leave a unit and rejoin it in
the same phase. If one or more Characters want to leave a Combined Unit during the Movement Phase, apply the
following rules:
• Choose the Combined Unit and take a single March Test if necessary as per “ ”, page . The test
applies to both Characters and R&F models in the unit, i.e. if the test is failed, none of the models may perform
a March Move during this Movement Phase.
• Characters leaving the unit and the remainder of the Combined Unit can perform different types of move (see
“ ”, page ).
• Move any Character that can and wishes to leave the unit, then move the remainder of the unit if applicable.
• Once all elements of the chosen Combined Unit that can and wish to have moved, proceed with the next unit.
21.B.e Distributing Hits onto Combined Units

When a non-Close Combat Attack hits a Combined Unit, there are two possibilities for distributing hits:
Characters are of the same Type Characters are of a different Type
–and– same Height –or– different Height
–and– there are 5 or more R&F models in the unit –or– there are 4 or less R&F models in the unit
All hits are distributed onto the R&F , Char- The player making the attack distributes hits onto the
acters cannot suffer any hits. R&F and Characters. All simultaneous hits
must be distributed as equally as possible, meaning
that no model can take a second hit until all models
have taken a single hit, and so on.
If a unit of 5 or more R&F models contains several Characters of both the same and different Type or Height,
Characters with the same Type and Height as the R&F models are ignored for the hit distributions. Note that hits are
never distributed onto Champions.
103
21.B.f Make Way
At step 3 of the , any Character placed in the first rank and not in base contact with an
enemy model may move into contact with an enemy model. This enemy model must be in base contact with the
Character’s unit, and it must be attacking the Character’s unit in its Front Facing. To perform a Make Way move,
the Character switches position with another model (or models) in its unit; these models cannot be Characters.
Characters with Mismatching Bases can never perform a Make Way move.
21.C Command Group

Certain units feature the option of upgrading regular models to a Champion, Musician, or Standard Bearer. If so, the
model gains the corresponding Model Rule. These models are referred to as a unit’s Command Group.
21.C.a Champion
A Champion gains , First Amongst Equals, and Ordering the Charge.
21.C.a.1 First Amongst Equals

A Champion gains +1 Attack Value. If it is a Multipart Model, the Attack Value modifier only affects a single model
part, which must be a model part without or .
21.C.a.2 Ordering the Charge

When a unit with a Champion rolls for its Charge Range, it always counts as rolling at least a ‘4’. If the Charge is still
failed, ignore this rule and use the rolled dice to determine the Failed Charge Move following the normal rules.
For example, a Charging unit with an Advance Rate of 7″ containing a Champion declares a Charge against an enemy
unit that is 11″ away. In case of a Charge Range roll of 2, the Charge will still be successful since the Charge Range
roll is considered to be 4, resulting in a Charge Range of 11″.
21.C.a.3 Other Rules Associated with Champions

• Hits from attacks that follow the rules for Distributing Hits are never distributed onto Champions (see page
).
• When removing non-Champion R&F models as casualties and a Champion is in a position that would normally
be removed as a casualty, remove the next eligible R&F model and slide the Champion into the empty spot (see
“ ”, page ).
• When Raising Health Points, a Champion is the first model that is brought back if it was previously removed as
a casualty (see “ ”, page ).
• Champions may choose to use a different Shooting Weapon than the other R&F models in their unit (see
“ ”, page ).
• Champions may issue and accept Duels. If a Duel is not accepted, a Champion cannot be chosen as the model
that suffers the penalties for refusing a Duel (see “ ”, page ).
21.C.b Musician
A Musician gains and March to the Beat.
21.C.b.1 March to the Beat

A unit within 8″ of one or more enemy units that contain a model with March to the Beat suffers −1 Discipline when
taking March Tests. Units with at least one model with March to the Beat ignore this modifier.
21.C.c Standard Bearer

A Standard Bearer gains Combat Bonus. Certain Standard Bearers may have the option to be upgraded with Banner
Enchantments (see “ ”, page ).
104
21.C.c.1 Combat Bonus
A side with Standard Bearers adds +1 to its Combat Score for each Standard Bearer.
21.C.d Placing and Moving Command Group Models

Musicians and Standard Bearers can be placed anywhere inside their units.
When making an Advance Move, March Move, or Reform with a unit that includes a Musician and/or a Standard
Bearer, these models can be reorganised into a new position as part of the move. This counts towards the distance
moved by the unit (measure the distance from the starting position to the ending position of the centre of the
Command Group model to determine how far it moved).
Note that Champions are placed and moved inside their units according to the rules in as normal.
21.C.e Removing Command Group Casualties

If a Musician or Standard Bearer is to be removed as a casualty, replace the closest non-Command Group R&F model
from the same Health Pool (if there is any) with the Musician or Standard Bearer. The owner chooses if several R&F
models are equally close. It is assumed that another soldier picked up their tool and responsibility. Champions are
however not replaceable and have their own Health Pool, which can be specifically targeted in certain situations (e.g.
by allocating Close Combat Attacks, attacks that target individual models such as attacks from spells, or
attacks that target all models in a unit). When a Champion is removed as a casualty, a non-Champion R&F model is
moved to fill the empty spot. If enough Health Points are lost from a unit’s Health Pool to remove all non-Champion
R&F models as casualties, any remaining Health Point losses are allotted to the Champion, even if it is fighting a Duel.
21.D Personal Protections

If at least one model part has a Personal Protection, the entire Multipart Model follows the rules of the Personal
Protection, unless the model’s mount is of Gigantic Height (and therefore has the Universal Rule). In
this case, only the mount’s Personal Protections are applied.
For example, if a Character with Distracting mounts a horse (Standard Height), the Multipart Model is affected
by Distracting. If the Character instead mounts a dragon (Gigantic Height), the Multipart Model is not affected by
Distracting.
21.D.a Conditional Application

Personal Protections may only work against certain attacks, which are then stated in brackets after “against”. There
may already be some piece of information relative to the rule specified between brackets, as in Aegis (4+). In this
case, the conditions for the rule to work are written in the same brackets, after a comma. This can e.g. be certain
kinds of attacks or attacks with a given Attack Attribute, like Aegis (4+, against Melee Attacks) or Aegis (2+, against
Flaming Attacks).
21.D.b List of Personal Protections

21.D.b.1 Aegis (X)
Aegis is a . A model must reroll successful Aegis Saves against .
21.D.b.2 Cannot be Stomped

For the purposes of from enemy models, a model with Cannot be Stomped is never considered to be
of Standard Height.
21.D.b.3 Distracting
Close Combat Attacks allocated towards a model with Distracting suffer a −1 to-hit modifier. This to-hit modifier
cannot be combined with any other negative to-hit modifiers.
21.D.b.4 Flammable
must reroll failed to-wound rolls against a model with Flammable.
105
21.D.b.5 Fortitude (X)
Fortitude is a . Fortitude Saves cannot be taken against attacks with that rolled a natural ‘6’
to wound, or against .
21.D.b.6 Hard Target (X)

Shooting Attacks targeting a unit that has more than half of its models with Hard Target (X) suffer a −X to-hit modifier.
This rule is cumulative.
21.D.b.7 Parry
Parry can only be used against from the Front Facing. The model gains one of the following
effects, whichever would result in a higher Defensive Skill:
• The model gains +1 Defensive Skill.
• The model’s Defensive Skill is always set to the Offensive Skill of the attacker.
21.E Armour Equipment

There are 2 different types of Armour Equipment. A model can only ever be equipped with one piece of armour
of each type, i.e. an optional Suit of Armour replaces a model’s default Suit of Armour if applicable. The types of
armour below are also referred to as mundane armour:
21.E.a Suits of Armour

• Light Armour: +1 Armour.
• Heavy Armour: +2 Armour.
• Plate Armour: +3 Armour.
21.E.b Shields
• Shield: +1 Armour.
weapons prevent the simultaneous use of a Shield against Melee Attacks (see “ ”, page ).
21.F Weapons
Weapons are divided into three categories: Close Combat Weapons, Shooting Weapons, and Artillery Weapons. The
weapons listed in the following pages are also referred to as mundane weapons.
21.F.a Close Combat Weapons

Close Combat Weapons are used in close combat and can confer various benefits and drawbacks to the model’s Close
Combat Attacks. The rules for a Close Combat Weapon are only applied when using the weapon in question (i.e. they
don’t apply to , such as Stomp Attacks, or when using a different weapon). Mundane Close Combat
Weapons are listed in table .
21.F.a.1 Choosing a Close Combat Weapon

If a model has more than one Close Combat Weapon, it must choose which one to use in the First Round of Combat,
at step 2 of the . It must then continue to use the same weapon for the duration of that
combat. All R&F models in a unit must always choose the same Close Combat Weapon, unless they are forced to use
enchanted weapons.
106
Weapon Rules
Great Weapon . Attacks made with a Great Weapon gain +2 Strength, +2 Armour Pene-
tration, and strike at 0 (regardless of the wielder’s Agility).
Halberd . Attacks made with a Halberd gain +1 Strength and +1 Armour Pene-
tration.
Hand Weapon All models come equipped with a Hand Weapon as their default equipment. If a model
has any Close Combat Weapon other than a Hand Weapon, it cannot choose to use the
Hand Weapon, unless specifically stated otherwise. Models on foot wielding a Hand
Weapon alongside a Shield gain .
Lance Attacks made with a Lance and allocated towards models in the wielders’ Front Facing
gain . Infantry cannot
use Lances.
Light Lance Attacks made with a Light Lance and allocated towards models in the wielders’ Front
Facing gain . Infantry
cannot use Light Lances.
Paired Weapons . The wielder gains +1 Attack Value and +1 Offensive Skill when using
Paired Weapons. Attacks made with Paired Weapons ignore (while Paired
Weapons are often modelled as two Hand Weapons, they are considered a separate
weapon category for rules purposes).
Spear Attacks made with a Spear gain and +1 Armour Penetration.
Attacks made with a Spear gain +2 Agility and an additional +1 Armour Penetration
in the First Round of Combat provided the attacking model’s unit is not Charging and
is not Engaged either in its Flank or Rear Facing. Only Infantry can use Spears.
Table 9: Mundane Close Combat Weapons.
21.F.b Shooting Weapons

Shooting Weapons are used for making Shooting Attacks. Each model part can normally only use one Shooting
Weapon per phase even if it is equipped with more than one, and all non-Champion R&F models in a unit must use
the same Shooting Weapon. Each Shooting Weapon has a maximum range, a number of shots fired, a Strength, and
an Armour Penetration value, and can have one or more . Attack Attributes listed for a Shooting
Weapon only apply to the Shooting Attacks made with that weapon. Mundane Shooting Weapons are listed in table
.

21.F.c Artillery Weapons
Artillery Weapons are a special kind of Shooting Weapon. These weapons are often installed on , but
can on other occasions be carried by or Gigantic Beasts, or contained within .
Artillery Weapons are Shooting Weapons that always have the Attack Attribute, and they may have specific
profiles for range, shots, Strength, Armour Penetration, and other Attack Attributes, which you will find in their
description. Some Artillery Weapons may have further rules as detailed below.
21.F.c.1 Cannon
Cannon attacks ignore to-hit modifiers from Soft Cover and Hard Cover. They gain a +1 to-hit modifier when targeting
units consisting entirely of models of Gigantic Height that do not benefit from Cover. On a natural to-hit roll of ‘1’
a Cannon Misfires: roll on the (table , page ) and apply the corresponding result (a to-hit roll
resulting in a Misfire cannot be rerolled).
21.F.c.2 Catapult (X×Y)

Catapult attacks ignore to-hit modifiers from Soft Cover and Hard Cover. Resolve Catapult attacks as follows:
• On a natural to-hit roll of ‘1’, it Misfires: roll on the (table , page ) and apply the correspond-
ing result (a to-hit roll resulting in a Misfire cannot be rerolled).
• On a successful to-hit roll, the attack gains . Resolve the attack with the Strength and Armour
Penetration stated in the Catapult’s description.
• On any other to-hit result, roll to hit with a new Catapult attack, referred to as Partial Hit, and ignore any
Misfire. If it hits, this attack gains , but you reduce both X and Y by 1. If either value reaches
0, no hits are inflicted. All hits are at half Strength and half Armour Penetration, rounding fractions up. In
addition, the attack loses all benefits from the Strength, Armour Penetration, and/or Attack Attributes written
in square brackets (if any; see ). If it misses, no further attack can be generated this way.
21.F.c.3 Flamethrower
Flamethrowers do not roll to hit. Instead, roll a D6 (this is not considered a to-hit roll). On a natural roll of ‘1’, it
Misfires: roll on the (table , page ) with a −1 modifier and apply the corresponding result. On
any other natural result the attack is successful. Determine which Arc of the target the attacker is Located in:
• If the attacker is Located in the Front or the Rear Arc, the attack causes D6 hits, +D3 hits for each rank after the
first up to a maximum of +4D3.
• If the attacker is Located in either Flank Arc, the attack causes D6 hits, +D3 hits for each file after the first up to
a maximum of +4D3.
The total number of hits cannot exceed the number of models in the unit.
Some Flamethrowers have a higher Strength, Armour Penetration, and/or additional Attack Attributes stated in
curly brackets (such as Strength 4 {5}, Armour Penetration 1 {2}, { }). If so, use the Strength,
Armour Penetration, and Attack Attributes in curly brackets when shooting at a target within Short Range.
21.F.c.4 Volley Gun

The number of shots fired by a Volley Gun is a random number. When rolling for the number of shots for a Volley
Gun attack, if a single natural ‘6’ is rolled (after any reroll), this attack suffers a −1 to-hit modifier; instead, if two or
more natural ‘6’ are rolled, the attack fails and the Volley Gun Misfires: roll on the (table , page )
and apply the corresponding result.
108
21.F.d The Misfire Table
A to-hit roll resulting in a Misfire cannot be rerolled. When an Artillery Weapon Misfires, roll a D6 and consult table
below (a result of ‘0’ or less may happen when there is a negative modifier to the roll, as for ).
Result Misfire Effect
Explosion!
0 All models within D6″ of the Misfiring model suffer a hit with Strength 5 and
(or less) Armour Penetration 2. The shooting model is then destroyed and removed as a
casualty.

Table 11: Misfire Table.
21.G Attack Attributes

Attack Attributes can be given to a model part, to a weapon, to a spell, or to a . Remember that an
Attack Attribute that is given to a unit is automatically given to every model in that unit (see “ ”, page ), and if it
is given to a model, it is automatically given to all model parts of that model (see “ ”, page ).
Attack Attributes given to a weapon, spell, or Special Attack are always applied to the attacks made with that weapon,
spell, or Special Attack. They are however not applied to any other attacks made by the corresponding model part.
Example: A Character on a Chariot has a a Weapon Enchantment that makes the attacks made with its Hand Weapon
Divine Attacks and Magical Attacks. This means that only the Close Combat Attacks made with the enchanted weapon
become Divine Attacks and Magical Attacks, while all other attacks made by the model (e.g. and Close
Combat Attacks from the horses pulling the Chariot) are not affected.
Attack Attributes are divided into the following sub-categories that define what attacks they affect when given to a
model part. Note that these sub-categories are irrelevant for Attack Attributes given to a weapon, spell, or an attack,
including Special Attacks (so an Attack Attribute with the Close Combat keyword can be given e.g. to a Shooting
Weapon).
Close Combat
A model part with an Attack Attribute with this keyword applies the rules of the Attack Attribute to all its Close
Combat Attacks.
Shooting
A model part with an Attack Attribute with this keyword applies the rules of the Attack Attribute to all its Shooting
Attacks that are not .
Example: A unit is the target of a spell that makes the unit’s attacks Divine Attacks and Flaming Attacks. Divine
Attacks has the keyword Close Combat, while Flaming Attacks has the keywords Close Combat and Shooting. This
means that the Close Combat Attacks of all model parts of that unit are now both Divine Attacks and Flaming Attacks,
while the Shooting Attacks of all model parts of the unit are only Flaming Attacks. Any Special Attacks (including
Special Attacks that are Shooting Attacks) or spells from the unit are not affected.
109
21.G.a Conditional Application
Attack Attributes may only work against certain enemies, which are then stated in brackets after “against”. There
may already be some piece of information relative to the rule specified between brackets, as in .
In this case the conditions for the rule to work are written in the same brackets, after a comma. This can e.g. be all
models from a given Army Book, with a given Model Rule, of a given Height, or of a given Type.
If the Attack Attribute is effective against more than one type of enemy, they are separated by commas. If no comma
but instead “and” is used, this means that the rule works only against enemies that fulfil all criteria. For example,
Multiple Wounds (2, against Large and Beasts, Gigantic) means that Multiple Wounds can be used against models
that are both Large and Beasts, as well as against models that are Gigantic, regardless of the models’ Type.
Attack Attributes with Conditional Application can only be applied when the affected attacks are either allocated
towards or distributed onto a Health Pool where all models fulfil the requirements.
21.G.b List of Attack Attributes

21.G.b.1 Accurate – Shooting
The attack doesn’t suffer the −1 to-hit modifier for shooting at .
21.G.b.2 Area Attack (X×Y)

When the attack hits, determine the position of the attacker’s base:
• In case of a Ranged Attack, determine which Arc of the target the attacker’s base is Located in.
• In case of a Melee Attack, determine which Facing of the target the attacker is Engaged in.
Front or Rear: Choose up to Y different ranks of the target.
Flank: Choose up to Y different files of the target.
For each rank/file selected this way, the unit suffers X hits, to a maximum equal to the number of models in this
rank/file. A single Area Attack can never cause more hits than there are models in the unit.
Some Area Attacks have a higher Strength, Armour Penetration, and/or additional Attack Attributes stated in square
brackets (e.g. Strength 3 [7], Armour Penetration 0 [4], [ ]). If so, a single hit from this attack,
chosen by the attacker (following the normal rules for ), uses the Strength, Armour Penetration,
and Attack Attributes in brackets. The bracketed values and Attack Attributes are not applied to any other hits.
Figure illustrates examples of different Area Attacks.

Figure 41: Examples of Area Attacks.
Units A to D are hit by an Area Attack (3×3) from an attacker Located in their Front Arc.
In unit A, there are 3 ranks with more than 3 models. Number of hits: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9.
In unit B, the first rank has more than 3 models, but the second rank only has two models. There is no third rank.
Number of hits: 3 + 2 = 5.
Since unit C is a single model, there will always only be a single rank with a single model. Number of hits: 1.
In unit D, the first and second rank have 3 models. There is no third rank. Number of hits: 3 + 3 = 6.
Unit E is hit by an Area Attack (1×4) from an attacker Located in its Front Arc. The first and second rank have more
than 1 model. There is no third or fourth rank. Number of hits: 1 + 1 = 2.
Unit F is hit by an Area Attack (1×4) from an attacker Located in its Flank Arc. There are more than 4 files with 1 or
more models. Number of hits: 1 + 1 +1 +1 = 4.
111
21.G.b.3 Battle Focus – Close Combat
If the attack hits with a natural to-hit roll of ‘6’, the attack causes one additional hit (i.e. usually two hits instead of
one).
In order for Shooting Attacks using Hopeless Shots to cause one additional hit, the first to-hit roll must be a natural
‘6’ and the second to-hit roll must be successful in order to hit the target.
21.G.b.4 Crush Attack – Close Combat

At the end of step 4 of the (just after issuing and accepting Duels), the model part may
declare that it will use its Crush Attack this Round of Combat. It performs a single Close Combat Attack at
0, with Strength 10, Armour Penetration 10 (regardless of the user’s Agility, Strength, and Armour Penetration),
and . The following restrictions apply to Crush Attacks:
• They cannot be made as .
• They never benefit from any weapons or other Attack Attributes the model part may have.
• The model part cannot make any other Close Combat Attacks during this Round of Combat (including other
Crush Attacks, but can still use its Special Attacks such as Stomp Attacks or Impact Hits).
21.G.b.5 Devastating Charge (X)

A Charging model part with Devastating Charge, or using a weapon with Devastating Charge, gains the Model Rules
and Characteristic modifiers stated in brackets.
For example, a model part with Devastating Charge (+1 Strength, ) gains +1 Strength and Poison
Attacks when it is Charging.
Remember that Special Attacks cannot be affected by Attack Attributes, so the Model Rules and Characteristic
modifiers gained from Devastating Charge are not applied to Special Attacks, like and ,
unless specifically stated otherwise.
This rule is cumulative: a model part with several instances of Devastating Charge applies all Attack Attributes and
Characteristic modifiers from all of them when Charging.
21.G.b.6 Divine Attacks – Close Combat

Successful Saves taken against the attack must be rerolled.
21.G.b.7 Fight in Extra Rank – Close Combat

Model parts with Fight in Extra Rank, or using a weapon with Fight in Extra Rank, can make
from an additional rank (normally, this means that models with Fight in Extra Rank will be able to make Supporting
Attacks from the third rank). This rule is cumulative, allowing an additional rank to make Supporting Attacks for
each instance of Fight in Extra Rank.
21.G.b.8 Flaming Attacks – Close Combat, Shooting

The attack ignores Saves and must reroll failed to-wound rolls against models with .
21.G.b.9 Harnessed – Close Combat

Model parts with Harnessed cannot make and cannot use weapons. Shooting Weapons carried
by model parts with Harnessed can be used by other model parts of the same model (as long as they do not have
Harnessed or ). A model with at least one model part with Harnessed is considered to be mounted.
21.G.b.10 Hatred – Close Combat

During the First Round of Combat, failed to-hit rolls from attacks with Hatred must be rerolled.
112
21.G.b.11 Inanimate – Close Combat
Model parts with Inanimate cannot make Close Combat Attacks and cannot use Shooting Weapons. Shooting Weapons
carried by model parts with Inanimate can be used by other model parts of the same model (as long as they do not
have or Inanimate).
21.G.b.12 Lethal Strike – Close Combat

An attack with Lethal Strike that wounds with a natural to-wound roll of ‘6’ has its Armour Penetration set to 10 and
ignores Saves.
21.G.b.13 Lightning Reflexes – Close Combat

A Close Combat Attack with Lightning Reflexes gains a +1 to-hit modifier. Model parts with this Attack Attribute
wielding Great Weapons do not gain this +1 to-hit modifier, but strike with the Great Weapon at the
corresponding to their Agility instead of always striking at Initiative Step 0.
21.G.b.14 Magical Attacks – Close Combat, Shooting

The Attack Attribute doesn’t confer any additional effects. However, the Attack Attribute interacts with other rules,
such as (X, against Magical Attacks).
21.G.b.15 March and Shoot – Shooting

March Moving in the same Player Turn does not prevent the attack from being performed, unless the attack is also
subject to Move or Fire.
21.G.b.16 Move or Fire – Shooting

The attack may not be used if the attacking model has made an , , ,
, or during the current Player Turn. Note that the normal limitations still apply (e.g. no shooting after a
).
21.G.b.17 Multiple Wounds (X) – Close Combat

Unsaved wounds caused by the attacks are multiplied into the value given in brackets (X). If the value is a dice (e.g.
Multiple Wounds (D3)), roll one dice for each unsaved wound from an attack with Multiple Wounds. The amount
of wounds that the attack is multiplied into can never be higher than the Health Points Characteristic of the target
(excluding Health Points lost previously in the battle).
For example, if a Multiple Wounds (D6) attack wounds a unit of Trolls (HP 3) and rolls a ‘5’ for the multiplier, the
number of unsaved wounds is reduced to 3, even if the Troll unit has already lost one or two Health Points previously
in battle.
If Clipped Wings is stated after the X value in brackets, any unsaved wound caused by the attack against a model
with is multiplied into X+1 instead of X.
21.G.b.18 Poison Attacks – Close Combat, Shooting

If the attack hits with a natural to-hit roll of ‘6’, it automatically wounds with no to-wound roll needed.
Shooting Attacks using automatically wound only if the first to-hit roll is a natural ‘6’. Note that the
second to-hit roll must still be successful in order to hit the target.
If the attack can be turned into more than one hit (e.g. a hit with or ), only a single hit,
chosen by the attacker, automatically wounds. All other hits must roll to wound as normal.
21.G.b.19 Quick to Fire – Shooting

The attack doesn’t suffer the −1 to-hit modifier for Moving and Shooting.
21.G.b.20 Reload! – Shooting

The attack cannot be used for a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction.
113
21.G.b.21 Toxic Attacks – Close Combat
The attack has its Strength always set to 3 and its Armour Penetration always set to 10.
21.G.b.22 Two-Handed
A model using a weapon with Two-Handed cannot simultaneously use a Shield against Melee Attacks.
21.G.b.23 Unwieldy – Shooting

The attack suffers an additional −1 to-hit modifier for Moving and Shooting (for a total of −2). When combined with
, the attack can only ignore the normal −1 to-hit modifier for Moving and Shooting, not the additional −1
to-hit modifier from Unwieldy.
21.G.b.24 Volley Fire – Shooting

If at least one model in a unit can draw Line of Sight to the target, then all model parts using Volley Fire in the same
unit ignore all intervening models of their own Height or smaller for Line of Sight and Cover purposes.
In addition, unless making a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction, models in a unit in that has not moved
during this Player Turn may shoot from one additional rank (usually this means that they can shoot from the first
three ranks).
21.G.b.25 Weapon Master – Close Combat

At the beginning of each Round of Combat, model parts with Weapon Master may choose which weapon they fight
with. This includes selecting to use a Hand Weapon even if they have other weapons. If armed with a weapon with a
Weapon Enchantment, the model part must still use it.
21.H Special Attacks

A model part with Special Attacks can make a special type of attack specified by the corresponding rules. Attacks
made using Special Attacks cannot be affected by weapons or , unless specifically stated otherwise.
21.H.a List of Special Attacks

21.H.a.1 Breath Attack (X)
A model part with Breath Attack can use it only once during the game. If a model has more than one Breath Attack, it
can only use one Breath Attack in a single phase. It can be used either as a Shooting Attack or as a Special Attack
when Engaged in Combat.
• As a Shooting Attack with March and Shoot: choose a target using the for Shooting Attacks (it
can be used for a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction). The attack has a range of 6″. A model part with both a
Breath Attack and a Shooting Weapon can use both in the same Shooting Phase, however only against the same
target.
• As a Special Attack when Engaged in Combat: the attack is made at the model part’s Agility. Declare that you
are using the Breath Attack at the start of the Initiative Step (before rolling to hit), and choose a unit in base
contact as a target.
No matter if it is used as a Shooting or Melee Attack, the target of the Breath Attack suffers 2D6 hits. The Strength,
Armour Penetration, and Attack Attributes (if any) of these hits are given within brackets, such as in Breath Attack
(Str 4, AP 1, ). If several models in the same unit have this Special Attack, roll for the number of hits
separately for each model.
114
21.H.a.2 Grind Attacks (X)
A model part with Grind Attacks resolves these attacks at its Agility. It must choose an enemy unit in base contact
with it. The chosen enemy unit suffers a number of hits equal to the value stated in brackets (X). These hits are
resolved with the model part’s Strength and Armour Penetration.
If a model has both Grind Attacks and , it may only use one of these rules in the same Round of Combat
(the owner may choose which). If several model parts in a unit have Grind Attacks and if X is a random number (e.g.
Grind Attacks (2D3)), roll for the number of hits separately for each model part.
21.H.a.3 Impact Hits (X)

At 10, a Charging model part with Impact Hits must choose an enemy unit that is in base contact with
the attacking model’s Front Facing. This unit suffers a number of hits equal to the value stated in brackets (X). These
hits are resolved with the attacking model part’s Strength and Armour Penetration.
If a model has both and Impact Hits, it may only use one of these rules in the same Round of Combat
(the owner may choose which). In case of Multipart Models, only model parts that also have or
can use Impact Hits. If several models in a unit have Impact Hits, and if X is a random number (e.g. Impact Hits (D6)),
roll for the number of hits separately for each model part.
21.H.a.4 Stomp Attacks (X)

At 0, a model part with Stomp Attacks must choose an enemy model of Standard Height in base contact
with it. The chosen model’s unit suffers a number of hits equal to the value stated in brackets (X). These hits can only
be distributed onto models of Standard Height (ignore models of a different Height when distributing hits). They are
resolved with the model part’s Strength and Armour Penetration.
In case of Multipart Models, only model parts that also have can use Stomp Attacks. If several models in
a unit have this Special Attack, and if X is a random number (e.g. Stomp Attacks (D6)), roll for the number of hits
separately for each model part.
21.H.a.5 Sweeping Attack

This attack may be used by units containing models with Sweeping Attack. When the unit or
, you may nominate a single unengaged enemy unit that the unit with Sweeping Attack moved through or
over during this move (meaning their Unit Boundaries were overlapping, even partially). The whole unit makes
the Sweeping Attack against the nominated enemy unit, which is resolved when the March or Advance Move is
completed. Follow the description in the unit entry. These attacks hit automatically and count as ranged Special
Attacks. Each Sweeping Attack can only be performed once per Player Turn.
115
22 Special Items
When building their armies, players have the option to individually upgrade the mundane equipment of certain
models, usually Characters and Standard Bearers, by buying Special Items for these models. Some Special Items are
shared by most armies of T9A (they can be found in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles – Arcane Compendium), while
army-specific Special Items can be found in the corresponding Army Books.
All Special Items are One of a Kind unless specifically stated otherwise.
22.A Special Item Categories

All Special Items belong to one of the following categories:
• Weapon Enchantments
• Armour Enchantments
• Banner Enchantments
• Artefacts
Each category of Special Items is subject to the rules below.
22.A.a Weapon Enchantments

Weapon Enchantments are upgrades to weapons. The upgraded mundane weapon is referred to as enchanted
weapon and follows all rules for both the original weapon and the Weapon Enchantment. The following rules apply
to Weapon Enchantments and enchanted weapons:
• A model may only have a single Weapon Enchantment.
• If a model has more than one weapon, it must be noted on the Army List which weapon has been enchanted
(remember that all models are equipped with a Hand Weapon).
• Each Weapon Enchantment applies to a specific weapon (e.g. a Great Weapon) or a category of weapons (e.g.
Close Combat Weapons). Note that Shooting Weapons that count as a Close Combat Weapon in close combat
(such as a Brace of Pistols from the Empire of Sonnstahl Army Book) cannot normally be Enchanted with a
Close Combat Weapon enchantment.
• A model armed with an enchanted weapon (including a Hand Weapon) must use it.
22.A.b Armour Enchantments

Armour Enchantments are upgrades to Armour Equipment. The upgraded mundane armour is referred to as
enchanted armour and follows all rules for both the original Armour Equipment and the Armour Enchantment. The
following rules apply to Armour Enchantments and enchanted armour:
• Each piece of armour a model is carrying may be enchanted with a single Armour Enchantment.
• If the wearer has more than one piece of armour that could be enchanted, it must be noted on the Army List
which one has been enchanted. If a model has no Armour Equipment, it cannot take Armour Enchantments.
• Each Armour Enchantment applies to a specific piece of armour (e.g. Heavy Armour) or a category of armour
(e.g. Suits of Armour).
22.A.c Banner Enchantments

Banner Enchantments are upgrades to and . The upgraded banner is
referred to as enchanted banner. Each banner may normally only have a single Banner Enchantment, except for
Battle Standard Bearers, who may take up to two Banner Enchantments.
116
22.A.d Artefacts
A model may have up to two Artefacts.
22.B Properties of Special Items

22.B.a Dominant
A model may only have a single Dominant Special Item.
22.B.b Who is Affected

Special Items may affect different targets:
• The wielder, wearer, or bearer: these terms mean the same thing for rules purposes and refer to the model
part the Special Item was bought for (and don’t affect its mount).
• Models, the wearer’s model, or the bearer’s model: these terms refer to all model parts of the models, including
their mounts (note that these terms override the Massive Bulk rules).
• Units, the wearer’s unit, or the bearer’s unit: this type of Special Item affects all model parts in the target unit
or in the same unit as the wearer/bearer of the Special Item (including mounts and the wearer/bearer itself).
22.B.c One Use Only

These effects can only be used once per game.

How to Use this Document
While we always strive to provide books of the highest quality, inadvertent mistakes and unforeseen consequences
in rules interaction tend to find their way into the documents. This errata document was created to fix the most
glaring issues.
Sometimes these fixes will also affect rules in the summaries of the Rulebook and/or the Arcane Compendium.
Additional edits for the summaries will not be listed separately in this document. Instead, the corresponding entries
will be marked with “*”.
We included a list of fixes that usually do not affect gameplay in a separate chapter, referred to as Cosmetic Patches.
At the end of the document, we provide short explanations for each erratum in the Designer Notes.
Rulebook

Add the bold text and remove the crossed out text:
• During the Deployment Phase, consider the player that finished deploying who completed their normal
deployment first to be the Active Player.
3.B.e Unit Boundary (page 8)

Add the following text:
For the purpose of drawing Line of Sight to a Unit Boundary and determining if its unit benefits from Cover, the
Height of the Unit Boundary corresponds to its unit's Height (see 19.C Classification of Units; Model Rules such as
Towering Presence, Tall or Skirmisher can affect this).
3.C.a Base Contact between Units and Models (page 10)

A model is in base contact with a unit if it is in base contact with at least one model of that unit.
3.C.a.1 Base Contact between Models across Gaps (page 10)

Two opposing models are considered to be in base contact with each other across such gaps if you can draw a
straight line
● from one model to the other, including corner to corner
● that is perpendicular to the opposite both models' Facings
● that is perpendicular to both units' Engaged Facings
A model is considered to not be in base contact across a gap if its entire Facing that is opposite the enemy model
is in contact with a friendly model.
4.B Line of Sight (page 12)*

Add the bold text:
Line of Sight cannot be drawn to targets outside the unit’s Front Arc, and models never block Line of Sight to or
from other models within the same unit. (...) A model is considered to have Line of Sight to a unit if it can draw
Line of Sight to any model inside that unit or to any part of the unit’s Unit Boundary.
Rulebook 2 Army Books

5.B.a Random Characteristics (page 15)
When several models parts in the same unit have a random value for a Characteristic, roll separately for each
model part.
6.D Priority of Modifiers (page 17)

Add the bold text:
• Agility and Attack Value cannot be modified to lower than 1, unless they were lower than 1 before
modifications.
7.A Classification of Attacks (page 18)

Add the bold text:
All sources of damage are defined as attacks, which are then divided into Melee and Ranged Attacks (see figure 9).
For attacks caused by an action or rule of a model or unit, that model or unit is considered to be the
attacker, and its owner the player that makes the attack.
7.B Attack Sequence (page 19)

6 Defender makes Special Save rolls; if failed, proceed.
7 Defender suffers unsaved wounds.
7 8 Defender removes loses Health Points and/or casualties.

9.E Secondary Objectives (page 35)*

Add the bold text:
6: Secure Target
Each player must place the marker with its centre on a point that is more than 12” away from their Deployment
Zone and at least a third of the long Board Edge length (24” on a standard board) from the point marked by the
other marker.
10.A Deployment Phase Sequence (page 37)

5 Deploy Scouting units (starting with the player who finished deploying completed their normal deployment
first)
6 Move Vanguarding units (starting with the player who finished deploying completed their normal
deployment last)
10.D Declare Intent to Go First or Second (page 37)

Once a the first player has deployed all of their units (excluding units that are deployed with alternative rules,
such as Ambushing or Scouting units), that player must announce whether they will play first or second should
they win the Roll for First Turn.

10.G Move Vanguarding Units (page 38)
Both players move their units with Vanguard (see “Vanguard (X)”, page 100), starting with the player who
finished deploying completed their normal deployment last.
10.I Roll For First Turn (page 38)

Both players must now roll a D6. The player that finished deploying who completed their normal deployment
first adds the Undeployed Units Number to their dice roll.
• If the player who finished deploying completed their normal deployment first scores a higher result, they play
first or second, whichever they previously declared.
• If the score is a tie or the player who finished deploying second completed their normal deployment last
scores a higher result, that player can now choose which player has the first turn.
11.B Declaring Charges (page 39)

• At least one model in the Charging unit’s first rank must be able to draw Line of Sight to the Charged unit’s Unit
Boundary.
• There must be enough room to move the Charging unit into base contact with the Charged unit and to align the
units.
11.E.f Combined Charges (page 43)

Add the bold text:
3 Perform the Charge Moves of all Charging units (including those failing their Charge) in the order that best
satisfies the priority order of the Maximising Contact rule. The Charged unit may only be rotated if this is
required to enable the first Charging unit to complete its Charge.
11.E.i Impossible Charge (page 46)

Add the bold text:
Sometimes a unit can no longer complete its Charge Move due to casualties suffered during the Charge
Move. When this happens, backtrack the move to the unit's position before the Charge Move, and perform
a Failed Charge Move with the unit.
11.E.k Blocked Path (page 46)

Add the bold text:
If, after declaring a Charge in the Charge Phase, a unit is unable to complete the Charge solely due to unengaged
enemy units that it could not Charge (normally), or due to the combination of at least 2 unengaged enemy units
and one or more Impassable Terrain Features, it can make a special Charge Move as described below. (...)
If it is not possible to align the units without changing the number of ranks or files, you may change the number of
ranks and files and do not have to maximise models in base contact. If this does not enable the Charged unit to
align, it must be aligned with a Facing other than the Charged Facing. If the enemy unit is unable to perform a
Combat Reform to align the units, the Blocked Path Charge Move cannot be performed.

13.G.a Spell Properties (page 55)
6 – Effect
Spell effects are never affected by any effects affecting the Caster, including Special Items, Model Rules, other
spell effects, or similar abilities affecting the Caster, unless specifically stated otherwise.
13.H.a Casting Attempt (page 57)

The Active Player declares which Wizard is casting which spell, and how many Magic Dice will be used, and what
its targets are. If applicable, they also declare which version of the spell is used and what its targets are. Between
1 and 5 dice from the Active Player’s Magic Dice pool must be used.
13.K.c Raise Health Points (page 60)

• A Raised model with Front Rank must be placed as far forwards as possible in its unit displacing a R&F model.
The displaced R&F model is then placed following the rules for Raised models without Front Rank. If the displaced
model could not be placed in a legal position, the model with Front Rank cannot be Raised.
14.A.a Shooting With a Unit (page 61)

Add the bold text:
• In case of Multipart Models, each model part can make a Shooting Attack in the same phase and is not limited to
using the same type of Shooting Attack as the other model parts.
15.D.c.1 Supporting Attacks (page 68)

A model part that performs Supporting Attacks always has a maximum Attack Value of X, where X is defined by the
Height of the model, unless specifically stated otherwise (see “Model Classification”, page 87).
15.D.d.1 Swirling Melee (page 68)

Such models may elect to allocate their Close Combat Attacks towards non-Champion R&F models of the same
unit instead, exactly as if these R&F models were in the position of the enemy Character or Champion.
15.E.c Fighting a Duel (page 70)

• The two models count as being in base contact with each other (even if their bases are not physically touching
each other), in the Facings that their units are Engaged in with each other.

1. Pivot
If there is not enough room to place the Pursuing unit, or if the Pursuing unit performed a Post-Combat
Reform in the previous Player Turn, treat the enemy unit as obstruction instead.
2.2. Enemy Unit

If the first obstacle would be the Unit Boundary of an enemy unit that did not Flee from the same combat, the
Pursuing unit declares a Charge against that unit, using its Pursuit Distance roll as its Charge Range. If the
Pursuing Unit performed a Post-Combat Reform in the previous Player Turn, it treats the enemy unit as
obstruction instead.
16.B Removing Casualties (page 81)

16.B.d Removing Lasting Effects
Whenever a model that applies any effects to other elements in the game is removed as a casualty, these effects
end immediately, unless specifically stated otherwise (this also applies to effects with a specified duration like
activated effects with One use only).
17.A Panic Test (page 83)

Add the bold text:
• In a single phase, the unit suffers Health Point losses equal to or greater than 25% of the number of Health
Points that it had at the start of the phase. This does not apply to single model units that started the game as a
single model (i.e. with a starting number of 1 model on the Army List). Ignore Health Point losses suffered
while Engaged in Combat.
20.A.a Dangerous Terrain (X) (page 89)

Note that:
• Dangerous Terrain Tests are taken as soon as the model is in contact with the relevant Terrain. If it does not
matter exactly when a model is removed as a casualty, take all Dangerous Terrain Tests for a unit at the same time.
• Immediately before one or more models in a unit take a Dangerous Terrain Test (e.g. when the first
model in a unit moves into contact with a Terrain Feature that counts as Dangerous Terrain), extrapolate
the unit's move to determine which models will have to take Dangerous Terrain Tests. This may require
the owner to declare how they intend to move the unit. If so, the unit will have to move as announced or as
close to that as possible, i.e. it must face the announced direction and the centre of its Front Facing must
be as close to the position where it would be if the unit had not suffered any casualties, after taking the
Dangerous Terrain Tests. The owner may then choose to continue moving the unit, however no model in
the unit that did not take a Dangerous Terrain Test for the Terrain Feature may move into contact with
that Terrain Feature during the rest of the unit's move.
• Take all Dangerous Terrain Tests caused by a single source at the same time.
• Hits suffered from Dangerous Terrain Tests are distributed onto the model’s Health Pool.
• A model never takes more than one Dangerous Terrain Test for the same Terrain Feature during a single move,
but it might have to take several Dangerous Terrain Tests caused by different Terrain Features or abilities.
• Use the position of the unit when taking the Dangerous Terrain Tests for all rules purposes (e.g. for
determining the range of Commanding Presence and Rally around the Flag, for determining the direction
of the Flee Move if the unit fails a Panic Test, for causing Panic Tests in friendly units if the unit is removed
as a casualty, etc.).

20.B.b Fields (page 90)
Fields contribute to Soft Cover, except for models Unit Boundaries with Towering Presence.
20.B.f Ruins (page 91)

Ruins contribute to Hard Cover, except for models Unit Boundaries with Towering Presence.
20.B.g Walls (page 91)

Walls contribute to Hard Cover, except for models Unit Boundaries with Towering Presence.
21.A.a.10 Feigned Flight (page 94)

If a units consisting entirely of models with Feigned Flight do not become Shaken if they voluntarily chooses Flee
as Charge Reaction and passes its their Rally Test in its their next Player Turn, it does not become Shaken. (...)
This rule does not apply if a the unit fails to rally on the next friendly Player Turn or Flees involuntarily (...).
21.A.a.12 Frenzy (page 95)

At the start of the Charge Phase, each of your non-Fleeing units with at least one model with Frenzy that could
declare a Charge against is unengaged, does not contain any Shaken models, and has an enemy unit inside its
Front Arc within the unit’s Advance Rate +7” must take a Discipline Test, called a Frenzy Test. If the test is failed,
the whole unit must declare a Charge this Player Turn if possible.
21.A.a.13 Front Rank (page 95)

A model with Front Rank must always be placed as far forwards as possible in its unit. This normally means that it
must be placed in the first rank unless specifically stated otherwise.
Models with and models without Front Rank must be placed inside their units so that the following
conditions are satisfied as best as possible, in decreasing priority order:
• 1st priority: The Front Facings of models without Front Rank must be placed as far backwards as
possible.
• 2nd priority: The Front Facings of models with Front Rank must be placed as far forwards as possible.
(...)
• If the model has a larger base than the R&F models, it is considered to be in all ranks its base occupies for the
purposes of calculating Full Ranks. For calculating the number of models in the unit’s ranks (e.g. for Full Ranks,
Line Formation, Area Attack), the large base counts as the number of models it replaces displaces, or would
displace if there aren’t enough models.
21.A.a.16 Light Troops (page 97)

Add the bold text:
• Infantry Characters gain Light Troops while joined to Infantry units of the same Height with Light Troops, and
lose this instance of Light Troops when leaving that unit.

21.A.a.17 Magic Resistance (X) (page 97)
Add the bold text:
Learned Spells and Bound Spells targeting at least one enemy unit, including a model or model part inside a
unit, with one or more models with Magic Resistance suffer a -X modifier to their casting roll (where X is given in
brackets).
21.A.a.22 Random Movement (X) (page 97)

Add the following text to the first dotted list:
• If it performed a Post-Combat Reform in the previous Player Turn, it treats all enemy units as Impassable
Terrain.
21.A.a.26 Stand Behind (page 99)

The model can be placed anywhere inside its unit (its Front Facing doesn’t have to be placed as far forwards as
possible and it can be placed farther backwards than that of models without Front Rank, even if it the
model has Front Rank). Its Front Facing cannot be placed farther forwards inside a unit than that of any model
with Front Rank but without Stand Behind. Ignore Stand Behind for models with Mismatching Bases.
21.A.a.32 Tall (page 100)

Line of Sight drawn to or from a model or Unit Boundary with Tall is not blocked by models of the same Height
(as the model or Unit Boundary with Tall), unless the intervening model also has Tall. Remember that this also
affects Cover (if a model blocks Line of Sight it contributes to Hard Cover, otherwise only to Soft Cover).
The Unit Boundary of units with more than half of their models or more with Tall is considered to be Tall
for the purpose of drawing Line of Sight to the Unit Boundary and determining if its unit benefits from
Cover.
21.A.a.34 Towering Presence (page 100)

The Unit Boundary of units with half their models or more with Towering Presence is considered to have
Towering Presence for the purpose of drawing Line of Sight to the Unit Boundary and determining if its unit
benefits from Cover.
21.A.a.38 Vanguard (X) (page 100)

If both players have units with Vanguard, alternate moving units one at a time, starting with the player that
finished deploying who completed their normal deployment last.
21.B.e Distributing Hits onto Combined Units (page 103)

Add the bold text:
The player making the attack distributes hits onto the R&F Health Pool and Characters. In case of attacks that
are not made by either player, the owner of the affected unit distributes the hits. All simultaneous hits must
be distributed as equally as possible, meaning that no model can take a second hit until all models have taken a
single hit, and so on.

21.F.a Close Combat Weapons (page 106)
Remove the crossed out text:
Close Combat Weapons are used in close combat and can confer various benefits and drawbacks to the bearer
while using the weapon model’s Close Combat Attacks. The rules for a Close Combat Weapon are only applied
when using the weapon in question ( i.e. they don’t apply to Special Attacks, such as Stomp Attacks, or when using
a different weapon). Mundane Close Combat Weapons are listed in table 9.
21.G.b.15 March and Shoot – Shooting (page 113)

Add the bold text:
March Moving in the same Player Turn while affected by this Attack Attribute does not prevent the attack from
being performed, unless the attack is also subject to Move or Fire.
22.B.c One Use Only (page 117)

Move the subsection to:
22.B.c 2.A.e One Use Only

Army Books
Daemon Legions
Broodmother (page 4)
At the end of each Round of Combat during which the model’s unit was Engaged in Combat, and during which the
models with Broodmother <and R&F models in its their unit> caused at least three Health Point losses against
enemy units with Close Combat Attacks, the unit Raises D3 Health Points.
Grasping Proboscis (page 4)

Add the bold text:
At the end of each Round of Combat during which the model’s unit was Engaged in Combat, and during which the
models with Grasping Proboscis <and R&F models in its their unit> caused at least three Health Point losses
against enemy units with Melee Attacks, the owner gains D3 Veil Tokens to their Veil Token pool.

enemy Melee Attack, (...)
Highborn Elves

The model’s unit gains Quick to Fire. When shooting with a Longbow without Weapon Enchantment, the weapon
gains Shots 3. In addition, the model’s unit gains Quick to Fire.
Cover Volley (page 14)

Add the bold text:
When an enemy unit declares a Charge against another unit containing one or models with Martial Discipline, a
single friendly unit containing one or more models with Cover Volley may immediately perform a Stand and Shoot
Charge Reaction with the following conditions and restrictions: (...)
• Only models with Cover Volley may shoot, and they may only shoot once per Charge Phase.
Frost Phoenix and Fire Phoenix (page 20)

Add the bold text:
The Phoenix model part gains (...).

Vampire Counts
Vampiric (page 3)
Add the bold text:
• Character – If at least one attack with Vampiric made by the Character caused an unsaved wound against enemy
units, the Character can make a single Vampiric roll. If successful, the Character Recovers a single Health Point.
• R&F model – If at least one attack with Vampiric made by a R&F model in the unit caused an unsaved wound
against enemy units, the unit can make a single Vampiric roll. If successful, the unit Raises a single Health Point.
Warriors of the Dark Gods

Attacks with a Tribal Warspear gain +1 Strength and Multiple Wounds (D3, against Towering Presence). Charging
enemy units in base contact with the wielder suffer −1 Agility. The wielder follows the rules for gains War
Platforms and Not a Leader with the following exception: it can only join Infantry units that include at least one
R&F Barbarians Infantry model.

Cosmetic Patches
Rulebook
8.D.a.1 Header (page 26)
In the example, an army may contain up to two four units Tin Men, regardless of their size, equipment, etc.
9.C Building the Battlefield (page 33)*

For smaller battles involving Warbands, we recommend playing on a board that is 36” wide and 48” deep (half the
standard board), while for. In this case, all references to the "short Board Edge" below refer to the 48" edge,
and the "long Board Edge" refers to the 36" edge. For bigger games involving Grand Armies we recommend
that the players increase the size of the board as they see fit in order to accommodate the larger armies.
9.D Deployment Types (page 34)*

Replace the two instances of 12” in the figure of 6: Marching Columns with >12”.
11.E.b Charge Move (page 41)

• Align units (see “Aligning Units” below).
21.A.a.16 Light Troops (page 97)

Add the bold text:
• The unit can move backwards and sideways as if moving forwards (i.e. up to its Advance/March Rate, and a unit
can combine backwards, sideways, and forwards movement), but cannot leave the board with any part of its
Unit Boundary.
23 Summaries - Secondary Objectives

3 – Counterthrust: Players must only deploy a single non-Character unit during their first 3 turns. Units must be
deployed at least more than 20” away from enemies.
6 – Marching Columns: Players must only deploy a single non-Character unit during their first 3 turns. Each unit
must be closer to farther from the short Board Edge chosen by the owner than the previous friendly units (War
Machines, War Platforms, Characters, and Scouts ignore this). Possibility to make units Delayed.
Saurian Ancients
Sharp Horns (pages 11 and 20)
Add the bold text:
The model part may reroll the roll for the number of its Impact Hits. If so, all dice must be rerolled.
Undying Dynasties
Pharaoh (page 6), Nomarch (page 7), Tomb Harbinger (page 8), Tomb Architect (page 9), QRS (page 20)
Move "Flammable" from the units' Global to their Defensive Characteristic Profiles.

Designer Notes
2.A.c Simultaneous Effects (BRB, page 5)
This erratum specifies that the rules refer to normal deployment, excluding Special Deployment (e.g. Scouting units).
3.B.e Unit Boundary (BRB, page 8)

The Height of Unit Boundaries was not defined, making determining Cover impossible for units with models mixed
Heights. Remember that Cover is determined by how much of the Facing (which is part of the Unit Boundary) is
obscured. The reference to Towering Presence was added due to the new erratum for that Model Rule.
3.C.a Base Contact between Units and Models (BRB, page 10)
The rules were not clear if a model not in physical base contact with an enemy unit but Fighting a Duel (which makes
the model count as being in base contact with the enemy model in the Duel) counts as being in base contact with the
enemy unit.
3.C.a.1 Base Contact between Models across Gaps (BRB, page 10)
Clarification that “opposite Facings” refer to the models’ Facings corresponding to the Facings which their units are
Engaged in.
4.B Line of Sight (BRB, page 12)

The rules did not unambiguously clarify that Line of Sight is not blocked by models in the same unit as the model that
is drawing Line of Sight. In addition, this erratum prevents Large/Gigantic models to hide inside units of Standard
models. Even if Line of Sight cannot be drawn to the Unit Boundary (due to Height definition of Unit Boundaries, see
erratum to 3.B.e above), drawing Line of Sight to any model is sufficient.
5.B.a Random Characteristics (BRB, page 15)

Multipart Models with several model parts with a Random Characteristic were not covered by the original rules.
6.D Priority of Modifiers (BRB, page 17)

This erratum was necessary because otherwise for models with Attack Value/Agility 0 in their unit profile, e.g.
modifying their Attack Value by +1 and -1 at the same time would have resulted in Attack Value 1.
7.A Classification of Attacks (BRB, page 18)

For certain attacks it was unclear who the attacker is, which is relevant for determining the player who distributes
the hits.
7.B Attack Sequence (BRB, page 19)

The rules did not specify at which point exactly inflicted wounds count as “unsaved”, which is however necessary for
the interaction of effects that are triggered by a unit suffering unsaved wounds.
9.E Secondary Objectives (BRB, page 35)

Clarification of ambiguous wording.
10.A Deployment Phase Sequence (BRB, page 37)

10.D Declare Intent to Go First or Second (BRB, page 37)

Clarification that only the player that finishes deploying first has to declare if they want to play first or second.
10.G Move Vanguarding Units (BRB, page 38)

10.I Roll For First Turn (BRB, page 38)


11.B Declaring Charges (BRB, page 39)
The first part is a consequence of the errata to 3.B.2 and 4.B, see above. The second part clarifies units need to be
able to align towards each other in order for a Charge to be possible to declare.
11.E.f Combined Charges (BRB, page 43)

The previous rules could be abused to force an enemy unit to align in order to make a previously impossible Charge
possible.
11.E.i Impossible Charge (BRB, page 46)

This situation was not covered by the rules.
11.E.k Blocked Path (BRB, page 46)

The erratum specifies that Blocked Path does not apply to Charges during Overruns and Pursuits. In addition, before
the erratum, it was possible to create situations with single model units in which an enemy unit could neither declare
any Charges nor use Blocked Path due to a single model unit being positioned in a way that prevented it from
aligning its Charged Facing with the Charging unit.
13.G.a Spell Properties (BRB, page 55)

This erratum clarifies that only effects affecting the Caster do not apply to the spell effects, while effects affecting the
target do.
13.H.a Casting Attempt (BRB, page 57)

Clarification that a spell must have a legal target in order for a player to cast that spell.
13.K.c Raise Health Points (BRB, page 60)

This erratum specifies how Raised Champions are placed inside units, clarifying that they cannot displace Characters.
14.A.a Shooting With a Unit (BRB, page 61)

Clarification of ambiguous wording, allowing different model parts on a Multipart Model to use different Shooting
Weapons.
15.D.c.1 Supporting Attacks (BRB, page 68)

The keyword “always” prevented the modification of the number of Supporting Attacks via addition modifiers.
15.D.d.1 Swirling Melee (BRB, page 68)

The rules did not define in which Facings the model using the Swirling Melee rules and the enemy R&F models were
considered to be Engaged in (which is relevant for other rules like Parry).
15.E.c Fighting a Duel (BRB, page 70)

For models fighting a Duel that are not in physical base contact with any enemy models, the rules did not specify
which Facing these models count as Engaged in.
15.H.c Pursuit Distance and Pursuing Units (BRB, page 74)

The rules were clear that a unit that performed a Post-Combat Reform in the previous Player Turn could not perform
a Charge during a Pursuit Move, but the erratum was needed to specify how to treat the enemy unit instead.
16.B Removing Casualties (BRB, page 81)

This erratum specifies that all effects tied to a model, including activated One use only effects, end as soon as their
source is removed as a casualty, unless specifically stated otherwise (e.g. spells).
17.A Panic Test (BRB, page 83)

If a unit suffered 25% or more Health Point losses while Engaged in Combat, it did not have to take a Panic Test if it
lost 25% or more Health Points due to failed Dangerous Terrain Tests. If it lost less than 25% of its Health Points
while Engaged, these Heath Point losses contributed to the percentage of Heath Point losses from failed Dangerous
Terrain Tests when determining if 25% or more were lost during a single phase.

20.A.a Dangerous Terrain (X) (BRB, page 89)
Before this erratum, when taking Dangerous Terrain Tests, rolling for each model one after another could lead to
fewer models taking tests than models moving through the Dangerous Terrain (imagine a unit with 2 ranks with 5
models each: you could take the first 5 tests for the first rank, fail 2 tests, remove 2 casualties from the second rank,
so that when the second rank touches the Dangerous Terrain, you only needed to take 3 more tests, totalling up to 8
instead of 10 tests). In most cases, the new mechanic is equivalent with moving a unit as normal, marking the point
where it enters the Dangerous Terrain Feature, and then rolling for the Dangerous Terrain Tests at the end of the
move, potentially backtracking it to the marked position if the unit needs to take a Panic Test or similar.
The erratum also clarifies what “as close as possible” means, and that the player does not necessarily have to
announce the end position of the unit’s move, but the position where the unit will end up after moving into or
through the Terrain Feature that will cause the Dangerous Terrain Tests, and that the unit can continue its move
afterwards.
20.B.b/f/g Fields/Ruins/Walls (BRB, pages 90 and 91)

This erratum specifies that Cover is determined based on the Unit Boundary of a unit having Towering Presence or
not.
21.A.a.10 Feigned Flight (BRB, page 94)

This erratum removes the ambiguity of the original wording, which could be misinterpreted as units with Feigned
Flight automatically passing their Rally Test in the next Player Turn ( we updated the wording in order to make the
erratum more easily comprehensible).
21.A.a.12 Frenzy (BRB, page 95)

The previous wording was ambiguous as to whether a unit with Frenzy had to take a Frenzy Test if there was e.g. a
friendly unit in front of it, blocking it from declaring a Charge, but which could enable a Charge of the unit with
Frenzy by declaring a Charge itself. This erratum clarifies that the unit has to take a Frenzy Test in situations like
these.
21.A.a.13 Front Rank (BRB, page 95)

The rules were ambiguous as to what exactly was meant with a model being placed “as far forwards as possible”.
Clarification of ambiguous wording.
21.A.a.16 Light Troops (BRB, page 97)

The erratum clarifies when exactly Character lose Light Troops when leaving a unit.
21.A.a.17 Magic Resistance (X) (BRB, page 97)

Clarification that Magic Resistance also works if not the entire unit is targeted by a spell but also if only a single
model/model part is.
21.A.a.22 Random Movement (X) (BRB, page 97)

Clarification that units with Random Movement cannot Charge enemy units in the Player Turn after having
performed a Post-Combat Reform.
This erratum was removed as these rules are to be applied also to Pursuit Moves in general, for which new errata
were introduced, making this entry obsolete.
21.A.a.26 Stand Behind (BRB, page 99)

The rules were adjusted to work with the Front Rank erratum above.
21.A.a.32 Tall (BRB, page 100)

Additional information for drawing Line of Sight to Unit Boundaries, see the errata for 3.B.e and 4.B above.
Tall was streamlined with Towering Presence.

21.A.a.34 Towering Presence (BRB, page 100)
The rules did not cover how Towering Presence affects the Unit Boundary of Combined Units containing models with
Towering Presence.
21.A.a.38 Vanguard (X) (BRB, page 100)

21.B.e Distributing Hits onto Combined Units (BRB, page 103)

For certain attacks it was unclear who the attacker is, which made it impossible to determine the player who
distributes the hits (see erratum for 7.A above)
21.F.a Close Combat Weapons (BRB, page 106)

The erratum prevents issues with effects from Close Combat Weapons that are intended to be applied to certain
Special Attacks (e.g. Breath Attacks) and a lso outside of close combat (e.g. Armour bonuses or effects allowing the
use of the weapon as a Shooting Weapon).
21.G.b.15 March and Shoot – Shooting (BRB, page 113)

A unit that performed a March Move in the Movement Phase and is the target of Raven's Wing in the Magic Phase,
gaining Light Troops and thus March and Shoot, is not supposed to be able to fire its Shooting Weapons in the
Shooting Phase.
22.B.c One Use Only (BRB, page 117)

One use only was only defined for Special Items, however the rules is used throughout the Army Books also for
effects other than Special Items. In order for the definition of One use only to also apply to those effects, it was moved
to the General Principles chapter.
Daemon Legions, Broodmother and Grasping Proboscis (page 4)

The previous wording did not work for units with the Manifestations as options.
Dwarven Holds, Yer comin’ with me! (page 3)

The erratum specifies that the additional Close Combat Attacks are only triggered by enemy attacks, and not by
friendly attacks (e.g. caused by the DL Manifestation Mirrored Scales).
Highborn Elves, Queen’s Companion (page 4)

The erratum specifies that only the bearer’s Longbow gains Shots 3, while the bearer’s entire unit gains Quick to Fire.
Highborn Elves, Cover Volley (page 14)

The erratum clarifies that Cover Volley only works when another friendly unit is Charged, and that each unit can only
use it once per phase.
Highborn Elves, Frost Phoenix and Fire Phoenix (page 20)

The additional model part from Warden’s Bond is not supposed to gain Grind Attacks and Magical Attacks (from
Supernal).
Vampire Covenant, Vampiric (page 3)

The erratum specifies that wounds made against friendly units (e.g. caused by the DL Manifestation Mirrored Scales)
do not trigger Vampiric.
Warriors of the Dark Gods and Åsklanders, Tribal Warspear (page 23 resp. 13)
The Giant is not supposed to be able to become the General. While at it, we streamined the wording (“gains” instead
of “follows the rules for”) and simplified the restriction.

How to Use this Document
This document describes the different Paths of Magic and Special Items available for The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles and
as such is to be used in conjunction with the main Rulebook. For convenience, we repeated the main rules related to
spells and Special Items from the Rulebook in the corresponding sections below, along with the information needed
to read the Paths.
Paths of Magic
Spells are cast during the Magic Phase. Most spells belong to a specific Path of Magic.
Spell Properties
All spells are defined by the following 6 properties (see the figure below):
1 – Spell Spells are classified into the different categories Learned Spells, Attribute Spells, and Heredi-
Classification tary Spells by letters or numbers.
2 – Spell Use the spell name to state which spell you intend to cast.
Name
3 – Casting The Casting Value is the minimum value you need to reach to succeed a Casting Attempt.
Value Spells may have different Casting Values available (see “Boosted Spells”).
4 – Type The spell type describes how the spell’s targets have to be chosen.
5 – Duration The duration of a spell determines how long the effects of the spell are applied.
6 – Effect The effect of a spell defines what happens to the target of the spell when the spell is success-
fully cast. Spell effects are never affected by Special Items, Model Rules, other spell effects,
or similar abilities affecting the Caster, unless specifically stated otherwise.
1 – Spell Classification 4 – Type 6 – Effect
1 Water Jet
4+ 36″ Hex Instant tration 0, and Magical Attacks.
Missile
2 – Spell Name 3 – Casting Value 5 – Duration
Spell Properties as presented in this document.
Boosted Spells
Some spells have two Casting Values, with the greater Casting Value being referred to as the Boosted version of the
spell. Boosted versions may have their type (range, target restrictions) modified, and/or the effects of the spell
changed. Declare if you are trying to cast the Boosted version before rolling any dice. If no declaration is made, the
basic version for the chosen target is assumed to be used.
The differences between the spell versions are signified by using the following colour coding: ⟨non-Boosted version⟩,
{Boosted version}, and, in some rare cases, ⟨⟨amplified version⟩⟩.
2
Spell Classification
All spells are part of one or more of the following categories:
Learned Spells
All spells labelled with a number are Learned Spells, which are the main spells of a Path. They are usually numbered
from 1 to 6, which is relevant for the Spell Selection rules.
Each player may only attempt to cast each Learned Spell once per Magic Phase, even if it is known by different
Wizards (unless the spell is Replicable, see below).
Hereditary Spells
Most Army Books contain a Hereditary Spell, which is labelled “H” instead of a number. Hereditary Spells follow all
the rules for Learned Spells.
Attribute Spells
Attribute Spells are labelled “A”. All Wizards that know at least one spell from a Path of Magic automatically know
the Attribute Spell from that Path if there is any.
Path Attribute Spells are special spells that cannot be cast independently. Instead, the Caster may cast the Attribute
Spell automatically each time it successfully casts a non-Attribute Spell from the corresponding Path. This means
that an Attribute Spell can be cast more than once by the same Caster, and also by different Casters during a Magic
Phase. Attribute Spells cannot be dispelled.
Replicable Spells
Some Learned Spells are Replicable Spells and are labelled “rep”. The player may attempt to cast Replicable Spells
multiple times in the same Magic Phase, but each Wizard may only make a single attempt.
Bound Spells
Some spells are classified as Bound Spells, which follow different rules than the above (see the main Rulebook).
Spell Selection
• Wizard Apprentices know 1 spell selected between 1 and H.
• Wizard Adepts know 2 different spells selected from 1, 2, 3, 4, and H.
• Wizard Masters know 4 different spells selected from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and H.
Spell Types
The spell type describes which targets can be chosen for the spell. Unless specifically stated otherwise, a spell
may only have a single target and the target must be a single unit. If a spell has more than one type, apply all the
restrictions of each type.
For example, if a spell has the types Direct, Hex, and Range 12″, the target must be in the Caster’s Front Arc, be an
enemy unit, and be within 12″ of the Caster.
3
Augment The spell may only target friendly units (or friendly models inside units if Focused).
Aura This spell has an area of effect. Its effects are applied to all possible targets, according to the
rest of the spell types, within X″ of the Caster. For example, a spell with Augment, Aura, and
Range 12″ targets all friendly units within 12″ of the Caster.
Caster The spell targets only the model casting the spell (unless Focused, all model parts are af-
fected).
Caster’s Unit The spell targets only the Caster’s unit.
Damage The spell may only target units and/or models not currently Engaged in Combat.
Direct The spell may only target units and/or models in the Caster’s Front Arc.
Focused The spell may only target single models (including a Character inside a unit). If the target
is a Multipart Model (such as a chariot with riders and pulling beasts, or a knight and its
mount), only one model part may be targeted.
Ground The spell doesn’t target units or models. Instead, the target is a point on the Battlefield.
Hex The spell may only target enemy units (or enemy models inside units if Focused).
Missile The spell may only target units and/or models within the Caster’s Line of Sight. It cannot be
cast if the Caster (or its unit) is Engaged in Combat.
Range X″ The spell has a maximum casting range. Only targets within X″ can be chosen. This casting
range is always indicated in the corresponding column in the spell’s profile. Note that any
effects that alter a spell’s range do not affect any other distance specifications that may be
part of the spell’s effect.
Universal The spell may target both friendly and enemy units (or models inside units if Focused).
Spell Duration
The spell duration specifies how long the effects of the spell are applied. A spell duration can either be Instant, One
Turn, or Permanent as described below:
Instant
The effect of the spell has no lasting duration: effects are applied when the spell is cast. Afterwards the spell ends
automatically.
One Turn
The effect of the spell lasts until the start of the Caster’s next Magic Phase. If an affected unit is divided into several
units (the most common example being a Character leaving its unit), each of the units formed this way keeps being
affected by the spell effects. Characters that join a unit affected by One Turn spells are not affected by these spells,
and likewise, units joined by Characters affected by One Turn spells are not affected either.
Permanent
The effect of the spell lasts until the end of the game or until a designated ending condition (as detailed in the spell
effect) is met. The spell can only be removed by the method described in the spell. If an affected unit is divided into
several units, follow the same restrictions as for One Turn spells.

Duality: All Cosmology spells are divided into two versions, representing opposing aspects: Cosmos and Chaos.
When casting Cosmology spells, always declare which version of the spell you are using. Whenever the Caster
successfully casts a non-Bound Cosmology spell, the next Cosmology spell it attempts to cast has its Casting Value
reduced by 1, provided this spell is a Cosmology spell of the opposing aspect.

Occultism
The Sacrifice: When casting a non-Bound Spell from this Path, immediately after the casting roll, but before any
Dispelling Attempt, the Active Player may choose the Caster’s unit or another friendly unengaged unit within 24″.
A unit may only be chosen once per phase. The chosen unit suffers X hits that wound automatically with Armour
Penetration 10 and Magical Attacks, and with no saves of any kind allowed, where X is determined by the Discipline
value of the largest fraction of models in the unit, ignoring all Discipline modifiers. In case of a tie, use the lower
value:
• 0 to 4: 3 hits
• 5 to 7: 2 hits
• 8 to 10: 1 hit
Any Health Point loss from The Sacrifice that would remove the last model of the chosen unit as a casualty is discarded.
These Health Point losses never cause Panic Tests.
If at least one Health Point loss was caused, the spell is cast with the ⟨⟨amplified⟩⟩ version. In that case, use any text
marked with ⟨⟨ ⟩⟩.

Special Items
When building their armies, players have the option to individually upgrade the mundane equipment of certain
models, usually Characters and Standard Bearers, by buying Special Items for these models. Some Special Items are
shared by most armies of T9A (see the list of Common Special Items below), while army-specific Special Items can
be found in the corresponding Army Books.
All Special Items are One of a Kind unless specifically stated otherwise.
Special Item Categories

All Special Items belong to one of the following categories:
• Weapon Enchantments
• Armour Enchantments
• Banner Enchantments
• Artefacts
Each category of Special Items is subject to the rules below.
Weapon Enchantments
Weapon Enchantments are upgrades to weapons. The upgraded mundane weapon is referred to as enchanted
weapon and follows all rules for both the original weapon and the Weapon Enchantment. The following rules apply
to Weapon Enchantments and enchanted weapons:
• A model may only have a single Weapon Enchantment.
• If a model has more than one weapon, it must be noted on the Army List which weapon has been enchanted
(remember that all models are equipped with a Hand Weapon).
• Each Weapon Enchantment applies to a specific weapon (e.g. a Great Weapon) or a category of weapons (e.g.
Close Combat Weapons). Note that Shooting Weapons that count as a Close Combat Weapon in close combat
(such as a Brace of Pistols from the Empire of Sonnstahl Army Book) cannot normally be Enchanted with a
Close Combat Weapon enchantment.
• A model armed with an enchanted weapon (including a Hand Weapon) must use it.
Armour Enchantments
Armour Enchantments are upgrades to Armour Equipment. The upgraded mundane armour is referred to as
enchanted armour and follows the rules for both the original Armour Equipment and the Armour Enchantment. The
following rules apply to Armour Enchantments and enchanted armour:
• Each piece of armour a model is carrying may be enchanted with a single Armour Enchantment.
• If the wearer has more than one piece of armour that could be enchanted, it must be noted on the Army List
which one has been enchanted. If a model has no Armour Equipment, it cannot take Armour Enchantments.
• Each Armour Enchantment applies to a specific piece of armour (e.g. Heavy Armour) or a category of armour
(e.g. Suits of Armour).
Banner Enchantments
Banner Enchantments are upgrades to Standard Bearers and Battle Standard Bearers. The upgraded banner is
referred to as enchanted banner. Each banner may normally only have a single Banner Enchantment, except for
Battle Standard Bearers, who may take up to two Banner Enchantments.
Artefacts
A model may have up to two Artefacts.
15
Properties of Special Items
Dominant
A model may only have a single Dominant Special Item.
Who is Affected
Special Items may affect different targets:
• The wielder, wearer, or bearer: these terms mean the same thing for rules purposes and refer to the model
part the Special Item was bought for (and don’t affect its mount).
• Models, the wearer’s model, or the bearer’s model: these terms refer to all model parts of the models, including
their mounts (note that these terms override the Massive Bulk rules).
• Units, the wearer’s unit, or the bearer’s unit: this type of Special Item affects all model parts in the target unit
or in the same unit as the wearer/bearer of the Special Item (including mounts and the wearer/bearer itself).
One Use Only

These effects can only be used once per game.
List of Common Special Items

The Special Items listed below are considered Common Special Items and are available to all models and units
who have the option to buy Special Items from the corresponding category. They are often bought in addition to
army-specific Special Items.

The unit may gain one of two different sets of effects depending on whether it shows up Sober or Drunk on the
Battlefield. At step 8 of the Pre-Game Sequence (after Spell Selection), the player must choose whether a Drunkard
unit is Sober or Drunk. Drunk Characters cannot join units containing any Sober models and vice versa (models
without Drunkard are considered neither Drunk nor Sober).

Player Turn 1 (but still at the end of step 2 of the Movement Phase Sequence), unless the owner has the first
Player Turn.
• Reroll Ambush rolls of 1–2 for units with one or more models with Pack Tactics.
Hunting Call is in effect even if the bearer is Ambushing and has not arrived on the Battlefield yet.

Army Specific Rules
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.
Ancient Grudge
Dwarven Holds armies have a number of Ancient 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.
Army Model Rules

Universal Rules
Holdstone
One use only. May be activated at the start of any Round of Combat. The effects last until the unit is no longer
Engaged in 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.
● Shield Wall, Wall of Iron, and Parry 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).
Rune of Resonance
Bound Spell, 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.
Ancestral Memory
A General with Ancestral Memory affects the number of Grudges held by a Dwarven Holds army (see Ancient
Grudge).
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.

Personal Protections
Shield Wall
When 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 a 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 Facing as their units.
● This Attack Attribute cannot be used against casualties caused by Impact Hits.

Daemon Legions
Army Book
2nd Edition, version 2020 – February 24, 2020


Army Specific Rules
Aegis
Unit profiles in this Army Book contain an additional Characteristic, which corresponds to the units’ Aegis Saves,
shortened Aeg. This Characteristic is treated as if the unit has the Personal Protection Aegis (X+) written on their
profile, where X is the Aeg Characteristic value. Not having an Aeg value does not prevent a unit from being the
target of an Aegis modifier.
Immortal Denizens
Casting rolls made by models in a Daemon Legions army with one or two dice gain a +1 Casting Modifier. For casting
rolls with a single Magic Dice, a natural roll of ‘1’ or ‘2’ is always a failed Casting Attempt, regardless of any modifiers.
In addition, in a game involving at least one Daemon Legions Army, each player adds +2 Veil Tokens to their Veil
Token pool in the Magic Phase during Siphon the Veil when they are the Active Player.
Army Model Rules

Universal Rules
Greater Dominion
At the start of each friendly Player Turn, you may choose one friendly unit within the Commanding Presence range
of the model with Greater Dominion. All R&F models in the chosen unit gain the Dominion rule in the Character’s
unit entry until the end of the next Player Turn.

Daemonic Manifestations
Daemon Legions armies possess their own version of Special Items called Daemonic Manifestations. They follow the
rules for Special Items, with the exception that they are not One of a Kind and that models cannot be affected by
more than one instance of each Manifestation, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Guiding Manifestations
Some Daemonic Manifestations have an option to be taken as a Guiding version. Unless specifically stated otherwise,
the normal version of Manifestations is taken. When using the normal version, ignore all text ⟨with this colour-
coding⟩. Only Characters can take Guiding Manifestations. If the Guiding version is taken, this must be noted on
your Army List. Follow the rules stated ⟨with this colour-coding⟩ and ignore point costs written in the standard way.
Note that Guiding and non-Guiding Manifestations are considered to be the same Manifestation for the purpose of
Duplication Limits.

Army Model Rules
Universal Rules
Blessings
The bearer’s unit gains Hatred. Model parts with Harnessed are not affected. The model can cast the following three
Bound Spells with Power Level (4/8), Type: Caster’s Unit and Augment, and Duration: One Turn.
Ullor’s Blessing Sunna’s Blessing Volund’s Blessing

The target gains Aegis (5+, against The target gains Flaming Attacks. The target’s failed to-wound rolls
Melee Attacks). All enemy units in base contact with with Melee Attacks must be rerolled.
one or more targets of this spell when
the spell is cast suffer D6 hits with
Strength 4, Armour Penetration 1,
Flaming Attacks, and Magical
Attacks.
Orders
A Character with Orders may give a single Order to a Parent or Support Unit within 8″. A General with Orders may
instead give a single Order to a friendly Parent or Support Unit within the range of its Commanding Presence. Orders
are given at the start of each friendly Player Turn, and their effects last until the end of the next Player Turn. A unit
cannot receive the same Order more than once during the same Player Turn. Only models of Standard Height are
affected. The available Orders are listed below:
Brace For Impact! The target gains Fight in Extra Rank.

On The Double! The target gains +1″ Advance Rate and +4″ March Rate.
Ready! Aim! Fire! The target gains Accurate.
Discipline Tests taken by the target are subject to Minimised
Roll. A unit that receives this Order and passes a Rally
Test doesn’t become Shaken, and the Reform that is made
Steady, Men!
after Rallying doesn’t prevent the unit from moving and/or
shooting (but it still counts as having moved for shooting
purposes).
Parent Unit
A unit is considered a Parent Unit if at least half of its models have this Universal Rule. Parent Units treat all Support
Units as Insignificant.
Immediately after a Parent Unit passes a Charge Range roll against a non-Fleeing enemy unit in the Charge Phase,
before performing the Charge Move, any Support Units within 8″ of the Parent Unit may perform a Support Charge.
To do so, the Support Unit declares a Charge against the same enemy unit. Apply all of the usual rules for Charging
for this out-of-sequence Charge (such as Line of Sight, Front Arc, must roll for Charge Range, max. one Wheel, etc.),
with the exception that the enemy cannot choose a Charge Reaction other than Hold. For the purpose of Charge
Moves, treat this as any other case of Combined Charges. When calculating Combat Scores in the following Melee
Phase, combine the Rank Bonus of both the Parent Unit and up to one Support Unit that performed a successful
Support Charge (following all normal restrictions), up to a maximum of +6.
2
Support Unit
A unit is considered a Support Unit if at least half of its models have this Universal Rule. Support Units are treated as
Insignificant by Parent Units.
Support Units within 8″ of at least one Parent Unit gain Fight in Extra Rank and may use Shooting Attacks from the
third rank (in addition to the first and second). If the Support Unit has at least one Full Rank, it counts as having the
same number of Full Ranks as a Parent Unit within 8″ for the purpose of being Steadfast.
During the opponent’s Charge Phase, Support Units may perform one of the following actions:
1. Immediately after a Parent Unit within 8″ voluntarily chooses a Charge Reaction, the Support Unit may Stand
and Shoot as if the enemy had declared a Charge against them in their current position (apply the normal rules
for the Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction).
2. Immediately after all enemy units have completed their Charge Moves, Support Units within 8″ of any Parent
Unit that was successfully Charged in this phase may Counter Charge. To do so, choose one enemy unit that
successfully Charged the Parent Unit and declare a Charge with the Support Unit. Apply all the usual rules for
Charging for this out-of-sequence Charge (such as Line of Sight, Front Arc, must roll for Charge Range, max.
one Wheel, etc.). When calculating Combat Scores in the following Melee Phase, combine the Rank Bonus of
both the Parent Unit and up to one Support Unit that performed a successful Counter Charge (following all
normal restrictions), up to a maximum of +6.

Army Model Rules
Universal Rules
Martial Discipline
If more than half of a unit’s models have Martial Discipline, their Discipline Tests are subject to Minimised Roll except
for Panic and Break Tests.
Master of Spellcrafting
The Wizard’s spells have their Casting Value reduced by 1. When performing a Casting Attempt with a single Magic
Dice, a natural roll of ‘1’ or ‘2’ is always a failed Casting Attempt, regardless of any modifiers.
Valiant
The model is immune to the effects of Fear. If more than half of a unit’s models have Valiant, the unit automatically
passes Panic Tests caused by Terror.
Attack Attributes
Fae Miasma – Close Combat, Shooting
This Attack Attribute can only be used with Longbows and Paired Weapons.
When a unit is hit by attacks with Fae Miasma, it must take a Resilience Test for each hit, using the Resilience that
the largest proportion of models in the unit has. Use the higher value in case of a tie. If one or more Resilience Tests
are failed, all models in the unit are affected by Fae Miasma until the start of the Active Player’s next Player Turn. A
model that is affected by one or more instances of Fae Miasma suffers a −1 to-hit modifier (both for Shooting Attacks
and Close Combat Attacks).
Moonlight Arrows – Shooting

This Attack Attribute can only be used with Bows or Longbows without Weapon Enchantments. The attacks become
Flaming Attacks and Magical Attacks, and have their Strength set to 4 and their Armour Penetration set to 1.
Armoury
Dragonforged Armour – Armour Equipment
Follows the rules for Heavy Armour (can be enchanted as if it was Heavy Armour). In addition, the wearer gains
Aegis (2+, against Flaming Attacks) and Aegis (6+), and automatically fails all Fortitude Saves.
Lion’s Fur – Armour Equipment

If on foot, the wearer gains +1 Armour, which is improved to +2 Armour against Shooting Attacks.
2
Hereditary Spell
Immediately after successfully casting the spell, add one

Veil Token to your Veil Token pool.
When a friendly unit within 18″ of the Caster suffers a
wound before Special Saves, you may discard a Veil To-
ken from your Veil Token pool instead and the wound is
H Favour of Meladys ignored. An attack with Multiple Wounds will inflict one
10+ Caster One Turn wound less than usual instead. For Standard Infantry, up
to 2 wounds are ignored per token provided they are suf-
fered simultaneously. A maximum of two Veil Tokens may
be discarded each phase for this purpose. Characters and
Gigantic models can only ignore a single wound this way
per phase.

Model Rules
Cover Volley: Attack Attribute – Shooting.
When an enemy unit declares a Charge against a unit with Martial Discipline, a single friendly unit containing
one or more models with Cover Volley may immediately perform a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction with the
following conditions and restrictions:
• The distance between the Charger and the Charged unit must be greater than the Charger’s Advance Rate
(using the lowest value among the Charging models if there is more than one).
• The unit with Cover Volley is within 12″ of the Charged unit.
• Only models with Cover Volley may shoot.
• The unit must use Stand and Shoot before the Charged unit declares its Charge Reaction. If the Charge is
no longer possible after the unit’s Stand and Shoot (e.g. due to the Charging unit being destroyed or failing
a Panic Test), the Charged unit does not declare any Charge Reaction.
• The Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction is performed as if the enemy had declared the Charge against the
unit with Cover Volley in their current position (apply the normal rules for the Stand and Shoot Charge
Reaction, i.e. the Charging unit must be Located in the Front Arc of the unit with Cover Volley, the unit with
Cover Volley cannot be Shaken or Fleeing, etc.).
Steady Aim: Attack Attribute – Shooting.
The model can shoot from the third rank (in addition to the first and second) and it does not suffer to-hit
penalties for Stand and Shoot Charge Reactions.

Model Rules
Rebirth: Universal Rule.
The first time a Phoenix loses its last Health Point, the owner must roll a D6. The roll is successful on a roll of
5+ (or 3+ if the model has Warden’s Bond):
• Remove the model as a casualty as usual, but place a marker on the centre of the model’s final position.
• In the next Player Turn, at the start of step 3 of the Movement Phase Sequence (after Rallying Fleeing units),
the Phoenix model is placed back on the Battlefield. The centre of the model must be placed within 3″ of
the marker and the model must be placed more than 1″ away from other units and Impassable Terrain,
facing any direction.
• If the model cannot be placed following these rules, it cannot return for the rest of the game.
• The returned model is the same model that left the game, including any and all ongoing effects (such as
spells affecting the model), with the exception that it always returns with only 1 Health Point left and
counts as Rallied in case it was Fleeing when it lost its last Health Point (and thus is Shaken until the end
of the Player Turn).

Shambolic
Units with Shambolic models cannot be joined by Characters. When rolling the distance of a Random Movement
move with a Shambolic unit, if all the dice show the same result, the unit loses D3 Health Points (with no saves of any
kind allowed), and then moves in a random direction instead of the chosen direction. When units with Shambolic
touch the Board Edge, stop 1" away from Impassable Terrain, or come into contact with or move inside any Terrain
Feature other than Open Terrain or Hills, all models in the unit must take a Dangerous Terrain (2) Test.
Running Amok!!
When a unit with Running Amok!! moves using Random Movement, it must move in a random direction instead of
the chosen direction.
Ricochet (X)
Models with Ricochet cannot Charge enemy units and can move through all units (friend and foe) as if they were
Open Terrain. If its move is ended in contact with another unit, or within 1" of a unit that it has moved through, its
move distance is extended; keep moving the model in the same direction (still moving through other units) until it
can be placed 1" away from all other units. If, after an extended move, the model would end up within 1" of
Impassable Terrain or in contact with the Board Edge, immediately remove the model as a casualty.
If a unit's Unit Boundary is contacted by a Ricochet model’s initial move (i.e. excluding an extension of the move
distance needed to clear units), this unit suffers X hits, where X corresponds to the value given in brackets (after
completing the move). For this purpose, all units Engaged in the same Combat are treated as a single unit. The owner
of the model with Ricochet distributes the hits between all units Engaged in this Combat as evenly as possible (after
this follow the normal rules for distributing hits to models within each unit).
Enemy units cannot Charge models with Ricochet. Units (friend and foe) ignore models with Ricochet regarding the
Unit Spacing rule for all movement (including Ambush). In addition, they can move onto and through models with
Ricochet. However, if a unit moves into contact with a Ricochet model, it immediately (before completing the move)
suffers X+D6 hits, and the model with Ricochet is removed as a casualty. This is not triggered by moves that can
move through units normally (e.g. Flying Movement), unless the move is ended in contact (note that units can move
into contact with multiple Ricochet models simultaneously).
Hits are resolved with the Strength and Armour Penetration of the model with Ricochet.
a) The Ricochet model cannot be placed 1" behind

unit B, because unit A is too close. The model is thus
moved through both units following its original
direction. Only unit B suffers the Ricochet hits as
unit A is not within the initial Shambolic move.
b) After moving through units, the Ricochet model

comes into contact with Impassable Terrain and is
thus removed as a casualty. The Ricochet model
moves through at least one unit Engaged in the
Combat, inflicting 5 hits in total, which are
distributed evenly amongst all units in the combat.

Surprise!: Universal Rule.
A Mad Git is not deployed. Instead it is said to be concealed inside the unit that purchased it. It is a unit upgrade, and
as such is ignored when calculating Victory Points (its points are already included in the Goblin unit concealing it,
and Victory Points are awarded for destroying the unit concealing it). Until released and moved out of its unit, a Mad
Git cannot be harmed or otherwise affected, or affect the game in any way. When a Mad Git is removed as a casualty,
it does not cause Panic Tests. It still moves, acts, and is influenced by all rules independently like a normal unit (once
released) and does not count towards the model count of the unit concealing it.
Mad Gits can be released in two ways:

● Mad Gits may be released when their unit declares a Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction with a Shooting
Weapon (the unit still shoots as normal). If the unit does not have any Shooting Weapons, it may declare a
Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction with Mad Gits. If so, all Mad Gits in the unit must be released.
● At the start of the owner’s Shooting Phase, if a unit with one or more concealed Mad Gits is not Engaged in
Combat, not Fleeing, and is within 8" of an enemy unit, it must immediately release all its Mad Gits.
Resolve released Mad Gits one at a time. Place the released Mad Git just outside of base contact with the concealing
unit and choose a direction to move the Mad Git in (ignore the Mad Git’s Running Amok!!). This cannot be a direction
that can potentially bring the released Mad Git into contact with its concealing unit. When releasing the Mad Git,
move it using the Shambolic rules in the chosen direction. During this move, rolling the same result on all dice does
not cause the Mad Git to lose D3 Health Points or move in a random direction.

The model part gains Telepathic Link. All friendly units within 6″ of the Engine of the Ancients gain Aegis (5+,
against Ranged Attacks). At the beginning of each friendly Player Turn, you may choose to replace Aegis with one
of the following effects until the start of the next friendly Player Turn:
• Choose a Path of Magic. The Casting Values of spells from this Path cast by friendly Wizards are reduced by 1.
• During the owner’s Shooting Phase, choose an enemy unit that is not Engaged in Combat and within 9″ of
the Engine of the Ancients. That unit suffers D3 hits with Flaming Attacks and Armour Penetration 10 that
always wound on a roll equal to or greater than “7 minus the target’s Armour”. A natural ‘6’ always wounds
and a natural ‘1’ always fails to wound. This is considered a Special Attack.
Telepathic Link
A Cuatl Lord may cast spells of type Damage through a friendly model with Telepathic Link with the following
conditions and restrictions:
• The Cuatl Lord is considered to be the Caster.
• The model with Telepathic Link must be within 24″ of the Cuatl Lord.
• The spell must have type Damage.
• Line of Sight and Front Arc of the model with Telepathic Link are used.
• The spell’s range is reduced by half and is measured from the model with Telepathic Link.
• The Cuatl Lord may cast spells of type Missile even if it is Engaged in Combat, as long as the model with
Telepathic Link is not.
If the spell is Miscast, apply the following effects:
• The Cuatl Lord suffers the Miscast effect as normal.
• The model with Telepathic Link suffers a single hit with Armour Penetration 2 and a Strength equal to the
number of Magic Dice used.
If the Cuatl Lord casts a spell using Telepathic Link, the Attribute Spell gets cast through the model with Telepathic
Link as well, applying the same conditions and restrictions listed above. If not all of the conditions are met, the
Attribute Spell is not cast.

Model Rules
Combined Strength: Universal Rule.
Skink Braves may add Caimans to their unit. Caimans are R&F models of a different Model Classification (Large
Infantry). Follow the normal rules for determining if the Height of the unit is Standard or Large (see Model
Classification). Caimans follow the rules for Matching Bases (see Front Rank), except that they do not have to be
placed as far forwards as possible. Instead, they can be placed anywhere in the unit.
Skink Braves and Caimans in the same unit do not share a common Health Pool even though they are both R&F
models. Instead, they each have their own Health Pool (lost Health Points are never passed between them, and
any excess Health Points losses are ignored).
Distributing Hits: When distributing hits onto the unit (i.e. for attacks against the unit as a whole), first
distribute hits between R&F models and Characters. Then randomise all hits distributed onto R&F models. Roll
a D6 for each hit: 1–4 hits a Skink Brave, 5–6 hits a Caiman. If the Skink Braves lose enough Health Points in
order to wipe them out, any excess Health Point losses are alloted to the Champion.
Stomp Attacks: When distributing hits from Stomp Attacks, ignore all models in the unit that are not Standard
Infantry. Hits distributed onto Skink Braves are not randomised.
Allocating Attacks: Close Combat Attacks can be allocated as normal towards different Health Pools in base
contact: Skink Braves, Caimans, Champion, Character(s).
Swirling Melee: All enemies allocating attacks using Swirling Melee (i.e. attacking R&F models not in base
contact) may choose to do this either towards Skink Braves or towards Caimans. If this is used to attack Caimans,
the attacks suffer a −1 to-hit modifier.

Right after determining who deploys first (after step 1 of the Deployment Phase Sequence), you must place a single
Forest Terrain Feature:
• Entirely within your half of the Battlefield
• Not in contact with any other Terrain Feature except Open Terrain
• More than 6″ away from the centre of the board when playing Hold the Ground, and more than 6″ away from
any marker used for the Secondary Objective.
If both players are fielding Sylvan Elves, the player that selected their Deployment Zone places their Forest first.
This Terrain Feature may not be larger than 27 cm in length and 19 cm in width. All Forests on the Battlefield are
considered Dangerous Terrain (1) for all units except those with Strider or Strider (Forest).

Undying Dynasties
Army Book


Army Specific Rules
Resurrected
Some unit profiles contain the additional Characteristic Resurrected, shortened Rsr, which determines the number
of Health Points Raised with Death is Only the Beginning (Hereditary Attribute Spell).
Army Model Rules

Universal Rules
Autonomous
Undead units consisting entirely of models with Autonomous may perform March Moves as normal even when
outside the range of friendly models’ Commanding Presence. The unit must still pass a Discipline Test in order to do
so if within 8″ of non-Fleeing enemy units.
Dust to Dust
At the end of any phase in which the Hierophant was removed as a casualty, every unit in the army with Dust to Dust
must pass a Discipline Test or lose a number of Health Points equal to the amount by which the test was failed, with
no saves of any kind allowed. These Health Point losses are allotted following the rules for Unstable. The number of
Health Points lost is reduced by 1 if the unit is within range of Rally Around the Flag.
At the end of the Player Turn in which the Hierophant was removed as a casualty, a new Hierophant may be selected.
In order to do so, nominate a friendly Wizard Character. This Character becomes the new Hierophant.
At the start of each friendly Player Turn after the army’s Hierophant has been removed as a casualty and no new
Hierophant has been selected, every unit with Dust to Dust must once again pass a Discipline Test or lose Health
Points as described above.
Ensouled Statue
The model gains Undead and Dust to Dust. If more than half of the models in a unit have Ensouled Statue, reduce
the number of Health Points lost by this unit due to Dust to Dust and Unstable by 1.
Hierophant
One of a Kind. An Undying Dynasties army must include a single model with this Universal Rule. When the Hierophant
casts Death is Only the Beginning as a non-Bound Spell, you may choose to set the spell range to 18″ (instead of the
spell’s normal target restrictions).
Underground Ambush
The model follows the rules for Ambush, with the following exception. Instead of entering the Battlefield from the
Board Edge:
1. Choose an arriving unit with Underground Ambush.
2. Place the unit anywhere on the Battlefield in a legal formation and following the Unit Spacing rule.
3. Roll a D6:
• If 5–6 is rolled, the unit arrives where it was initially placed.
2
• If 1–4 is rolled, move the unit (without changing the direction it is facing) 2D6″ in a randomly chosen
direction. If this would bring the unit within 1″ of other units, Impassable Terrain, or the Board Edge, the
unit stops 1″ short of them and each model in the Ambushing unit must take a Dangerous Terrain (1)
Test. The unit may then perform a Pivot (and must follow the Unit Spacing rule after the Pivot). None of
these manoeuvres prevent the unit from moving following the rules for Ambush afterwards.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 for all other arriving units with Underground Ambush.
Undying Will
Units with one or more models with Undying Will gain +2 Offensive Skill, +2 Defensive Skill, Lethal Strike, and
replace their Shooting Weapons’ Aim with (4+). Characters, Beasts, models with Ensouled Statue, and model parts
with Harnessed are not affected by Undying Will.
Armoury
Aspen Bow – Shooting Weapon
Range 24″, Shots 1, Str 3, AP 0, Volley Fire.
This weapon always hits on a roll equal to or greater than its Aim.
Great Aspen Bow – Shooting Weapon

Range 36″, Shots 1, Str 5, AP 2, Volley Fire.
This weapon always hits on a roll equal to or greater than its Aim.
Special Attacks
Mummy’s Curse
When the model with Mummy’s Curse is removed as a casualty, the model which caused the final wound suffers 1 hit
with Strength 6 and Armour Penetration 10. This is treated as a Ranged Attack. If more than one model was part of
the action which brought the downfall of the model with Mummy’s Curse, randomise which of those models suffers
the hit.
Hereditary Spell
Undying Dynasties do not have a regular Hereditary Spell. Instead, all Death Cult Hierarchs know the Hereditary
Attribute Spell Death is Only the Beginning (in addition to Path Attributes). At step 1 of each Casting Attempt of a
non-Attribute non-Bound Spell of type Augment with a Death Cult Hierarch, the owner may declare that the Wizard
will cast an amplified version of the spell:
• The Casting Value of the amplified version is increased by 2.
• If the amplified version is successfully cast, Death is Only the Beginning is automatically cast (as an Attribute
Spell).
The target Raises a number of Health Points equal to the

Resurrected value of the R&F models in the unit. If the tar-
get unit contains any Characters, you may instead choose
A Death is Only the Beginning a single Character in it. This Character Recovers a number
See below* Augment Instant of Health Points equal to its Resurrected value.
Characters and models with Towering Presence cannot
Recover more than 2 Health Points in each Magic Phase
from Death is Only the Beginning.
*The spell targets a single unit that was the target of the spell that triggered the Hereditary Attribute Spell.

Vampire Covenant
Army Book


Army Specific Rules
Master of Undeath
One Character in the Vampire Covenant army must be nominated to be the Master. At the start of the game, the
General is always the Master.
Reanimated
Some unit profiles contain the additional Characteristic Reanimated, shortened Rea, which determines the number
of Health Points Raised with Arise! (Hereditary Spell) and The Dead Arise (Bound Spell).
Army Model Rules

Universal Rules
Ashes to Ashes
At the end of any phase in which the Master is removed as a casualty, every unit in the army with one or more models
with Ashes to Ashes must pass a Discipline Test or lose a number of Health Points equal to the amount by which
the test was failed, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Health Point losses are allotted following the rules for
Unstable, except that they can never be allotted to models that do not have Ashes to Ashes. The number of Health
Points lost is reduced by 1 if the unit is within range of Rally Around the Flag.
At the end of the Player Turn in which the Master was removed as a casualty, a new Master may be selected. In order
to do so, nominate a friendly Wizard Character that either has Vampiric or has chosen Evocation. This Character
becomes the new Master.
At the start of each friendly Player Turn after the army’s Master has been removed as a casualty and no new Master
has been selected, every unit with Ashes to Ashes must once again pass a Discipline Test or lose Health Points as
described above.
Autonomous
Undead units consisting entirely of models with Autonomous may perform March Moves as normal, even when
outside the range of Commanding Presence of any friendly models. The unit must still pass a Discipline Test in order
to do so if within 8″ of non-Fleeing enemy units.
Awaken (X)
The model can Raise Health Points above a unit’s starting size for the units stated within brackets. However, units
cannot be increased beyond twice their starting size or beyond the maximum unit size written in their unit entry. A
unit’s starting size is the size of the unit as written on the Army List or the size of the unit when it is Summoned.
Gates of the Netherworld

Whenever a model with Gates of the Netherworld successfully casts Arise!, after resolving the spell’s effect, choose a
friendly unit with a Reanimated value and within 12″ of the Caster. This unit, or a single Character inside the unit,
Raises 1 Health Point. No unit can be chosen more than twice per Magic Phase by Gates of the Netherworld.
Ghostly Form
The model gains Ghost Step and Magical Attacks. R&F models with Ghostly Formcan only be joined by Characters
with Ghostly Form.
2
Necromantic Aura
All friendly units within 6″ of one or more models with Necromantic Aura reduce the number of Health Point losses
caused by Ashes to Ashes and Unstable by 1.
The Dead Arise

0–1 per Army.
The model can cast The Dead Arise as a Bound Spell with Power Level (4/8).
The Dead Arise: Range 12″, Type Ground, Duration Instant.
Summon a unit listed in the Awaken (X) Universal Rule of the Caster (declare which before casting) with a number of
Health Points corresponding to the Reanimated value of the unit. All models must be placed within the spell’s range,
with at least one model touching the target point. All upgrades except Command Group Options are allowed. The
unit loses Scoring (if it had it).
Attack Attributes
Unholy Appetite – Close Combat
After a Round of Combat in which at least one attack with Unholy Appetite caused an unsaved wound, all attacks with
Unholy Appetite from models in the same unit must reroll failed to-hit rolls until the end of the next Player Turn.
Vampiric – Close Combat

At the end of each Melee Phase, check and resolve the following effects for all models with Vampiric:
• Character – If at least one attack with Vampiric made by the Character caused an unsaved wound, the Character
can make a single Vampiric roll. If successful, the Character Recovers a single Health Point.
• R&F model – If at least one attack with Vampiric made by a R&F model in the unit caused an unsaved wound,
the unit can make a single Vampiric roll. If successful, the unit Raises a single Health Point.
A Vampiric roll is successful if the D6 scores X+, where X is the number stated within brackets. Use only the best
value if a unit or Character has multiple parts with this Attack Attribute that each caused unsaved wounds. A roll of
‘1’ on a Vampiric roll is always a failure and a ‘6’ is always a success. Models with Towering Presence suffer a −2
modifier to their Vampiric rolls.
Special Attacks
Reaper
A unit consisting entirely of models on foot with Reaper ignores all other units when moving in the Movement Phase,
but it must follow the Unit Spacing rule at the end of its move.
The unit can make a Sweeping Attack. The enemy unit suffers 1 hit with Strength 5, Armour Penetration 10, and
Magical Attacks for each model with Reaper in the unit.
3
Hereditary Spell
This spell has a second Boosted version, which is shown using {{this colour-coding}}.
When resolving the spell, choose one of the following ef-

fects for each target:
H Arise! • The R&F part of the target Raises a number of Health
rep Points equal to its Reanimated value.
⟨4+⟩ ⟨18″⟩ • Up to one Character within the target Recovers a
{8+} {6″ Aura} Augment Instant number of Health Points equal to its Reanimated
{{11+}} {{12″ Aura}} value.
Models with Towering Presence cannot Recover more than
2 Health Points from this spell in a single Magic Phase.
4
Vampiric Bloodlines
The Vampire Covenant army may choose to represent a single Vampiric Bloodline. In this case, all Vampire Counts
and Vampire Courtiers in such a Bloodline Army must take the upgrade that corresponds to that Bloodline. All rules
associated with a Vampire are only applied to the model part that takes the upgrade and do not apply to any mounts
Ancient Blood Power

Bloodline Vampire Counts can take the Ancient Blood Power of their Bloodline instead of taking a Blood Power. All
Ancient Blood Powers are 0–1 per Army.
Blood Ties
Certain unit entries in this Army Book include the term Blood Ties, followed by the name of a Bloodline in brackets.
If the army includes at least one Vampire Count or Vampire Courtier matching the Bloodline written in brackets in a
unit entry, this unit gains access to the associated Blood Ties option.

During Spell Selection, choose a Path (this may be a different Path than the one the model selects its spells from).

Casting Value of the Spell is reduced by 2, and when rolling casting rolls with a single Magic Dice, a natural roll of

Army Model Rules
Universal Rules
Safety in Numbers
Non-Fleeing units consisting entirely of models with Safety in Numbers add their number of Full Ranks after the first
to their Discipline value, up to a maximum of +3 and never above 10. Safety in Numbers cannot be used to modify
the Discipline that is distributed by models with Commanding Presence (but the received Commanding Presence can
be modified by Safety in Numbers). Furthermore, units consisting entirely of models with Safety in Numbers gain +1”
to their Flee Distance rolls.
Callous
The model is allowed to use Shooting Attacks and The Awakened Swarm (Hereditary Spell) against enemy units that
are Engaged in Combat with friendly units, as long as all friendly units Engaged in the Combat are of Standard Height.
All units Engaged in this Combat are ignored for Cover purposes (but not for drawing Line of Sight). When a model
with this rule targets an enemy unit Engaged in Combat with a Shooting Attack or with The Awakened Swarm, roll to
hit as normal against the intended target. Each hit must then be randomised to see which unit is hit. Roll a D6 for
each hit. On 3+, the intended target is hit; otherwise a friendly unit Engaged in that Combat is hit. If there are several
friendly units involved in the combat, randomise which one is hit.
State of Trance (X)

The model’s unit gains Fearless. The model must be deployed in, and can only join, a unit that includes at least one
model from one of the unit entries stated in brackets (X). The model can never voluntarily leave its unit.
Brood’s Courage (X)

A unit with more than half of its models with Brood's Courage (X) within 6” of a unit that includes at least one model
from one of the unit entries stated in brackets (X) may use the number of Full Ranks of this unit for the purpose of
calculating the Discipline modifier it gains from Safety in Numbers.
Tag-Along
If the model is within 3" of a friendly non-Fleeing unit with at least one Rat-at-Arms or Vermin Guard model, it gains
Aegis (4+, against Ranged Attacks).
Honourless
A Character with Honourless cannot be chosen by the enemy as the model that suffers the penalties for refusing a
Duel.
Dark Shards
One use only. A model can use each of its Dark Shards once per game. Declare usage just before the model rolls to
cast a non-Bound Spell. Any Dispelling Attempt made against this Casting Attempt suffers -D3 to the dispelling roll.

The unit cannot be joined by any Characters, and it may never have more ranks than files. When the unit fails a
Break Test, it does not perform the extra Close Combat Attacks from Path of the Exiled. Instead replace each
model of the unit with a Wretched One model after step 8 of the Round of Combat Sequence (after taking Panic
Tests):
• The unit with Damnation is considered destroyed and its models are considered to be removed as casualties.
• Each Wretched One model is placed in the same position and facing the same direction as the replaced
model, even if the replaced model was in base contact with an enemy unit. In this case, the Wretched One
model is placed in base contact with the enemy unit too.
• The Wretched One models form a new unit.
• The Wretched One unit follows the rules for Summoned Units, except that it ignores the Unit Spacing rule
when placed on the Battlefield.
• The Wretched One unit cannot perform any Combat Reforms during that Round of Combat, however the
enemy units can do so as normal.
• Note that the following Round of Combat is not considered the First Round of Combat for the Wretched
One unit nor the enemy units it is Engaged with.

• Open a Gateway: Mark a single point on the Battlefield with a Gateway Marker. This point must be within
Line of Sight and 24″ of the Hellmaw, and more than 6″ away from enemy units. There can never be more
than 4 friendly Gateway Markers on the Battlefield (including Ominous Gateways).
• Close a Gateway: Choose a friendly Gateway Marker with its centre within Line of Sight and 24″ of the
Hellmaw. All units within 6″ of the centre of the marker suffer D6 hits with Toxic Attacks and Magical
Attacks. Then remove the marker.
If all friendly Hellmaws have been removed as casualties, immediately close all friendly Gateways as
described above.
A friendly unit may choose to enter the Gateway if all the following conditions are met:
• The unit does not contain any Gigantic models.
• The unit is in contact with the centre of a friendly Gateway Marker.
• All models in the unit just performed an Advance or March Move and no other model has moved since.
Remove the unit from the Battlefield. The unit:

model can end up with its centre farther away than its March Rate from the centre of the chosen marker.
2. Must have the same formation, but may face any direction.
3. Must follow the Unit Spacing rule.
4. Suffers D6 + X hits with Toxic Attacks and Magical Attacks, distributed by the owner, where X is equal
to the number of ranks in the unit. Hits distributed onto models with Hell-Forged Armour or Supernal

ÅSKLANDERS
Åsklanders
Warriors of the Dark Gods Supplement Army Book

This is an official The 9th Age product. It is a Supplement for Warriors of the Dark Gods. This product is not balanced
for tournament play.
Sagas and runestones are the most important forms of literature among the Åsklanders, for they are the source
of tradition, the whole of their myth, ethics, and political art. In such poems we can find evidence of the shifting
religious tradition and the progressive takeover of temples and tribes by gods coming from the Wasteland. Such
“contamination” has not changed the true nature of the Åsklanders, which is still connected at its roots to the
ancient culture they share with Sonnstahl. Far from being a nation, the land is a patchwork of tribes, each with its
own agenda. Some are friendly to our Empire, such as the Kingdom of Thrymland, others hostile, often changing
according to the relationships forged between their kings and jarls and our own nobility. The fragments we hereby
present were selected to provide a complete and characterful description of the very essence of Åskland and its
people, to paint a picture of the manifold cultures and creatures among our northern “cousins”.
—Grünberg Brothers, introduction to the collection of
the Literature of the Thrymland
Army Model Rules

Universal Rules
Åsklander Battle Fever
Infantry models in units with at least 10 models gain either:
• Fight in Extra Rank if using a Close Combat Weapon with Two-Handed
• +1 Armour if using a Shield
This cannot be used while the model’s unit is engaged in its Flank or Rear Facing.
Åsklanders are fierce fighters; that reputation has spread far and wide. I’ve fought against them for decades, and
the descriptions of berserkers and wild warriors are well earned. Yet in all those warning tales, there is an aspect
which is often overlooked.
They know well how to fight in great numbers, and somehow they manage not to get in each other’s way. Each leaps
forward to strike terrible blows with huge axes, only to be replaced by another, and another. No elven formation of
grace and discipline, but effective nonetheless.
In defence they are even more concerted. Those round, studded shields interlock to form a solid wall against which
enemies crash in waves. I’ve seen many an elite soldier underestimate Åsklanders as mere savages – only to suffer
for their folly.

My husband is to be Prince Olvir Hrogtharson, son of the King of Thrymland, the famous Hrogthar Alfhildr. I am to
share my bed with an Åsklander! I have consumed every book on the subject of that wild land - the stories have
only worsened the fragile state of my imagination. Åskland is a patchwork of tribes divided up by Kings, Jarls, and
Hersirs. Many are barbaric and unruly - often meddling in worship of the Dark Gods. Åsklanders are famous for
their raiding and trading vessels that can be found in ports as far as Avras and Aldan. For a long time they were
Sonnstahl’s enemies, but in our time the comparatively civilised nation of Thrymland has been supported by the
Emperor as part of a bulwark against the northern tribes. I suppose my status as a pawn in these negotiations
should bring me pride. I only hope that I can conquer this awful terror and do my duty to father and nation.

To lead is the destiny of the jarls and hersirs. But leading should be tested: trials must be endured and challenges won,
for a chieftain should prove not only the strongest of the tribe, but the wisest also. Proud and dauntless, feared and

Wargs are not mere pet wolves, trained to attack on command. They are born of Ullr’s fury, impervious to the rigours
of a mountain winter, tougher and sometimes larger than a horse. A single warg can down a giant elk if it catches it
unaware, and a pack is a serious danger even to well-armed travellers. You are never free of the warg’s nose. It will
track you for days if it deems you a worthy prize. If you are fierce enough, you can steal the pups and harness this fury
yourself: but be sure to serve Ullr well, or you’ll be a meal for the beast soon enough.

Walk upon a mountainous road, and you may find yourself in the vicinity of one of the mightiest creatures to inhabit

The first you will know is the drop in temperature; your skin will burn and your bones freeze, until you can barely
crawl. A mist of freezing air will rise around you. The next sign is the ground shuddering; the very mountain appears
to split, until blue-grey flesh resolves from blue-grey rock.
Last, eyes open. Vast eyes, with a red hue, taking moments to focus upon the tiny creatures before it.
If you are fortunate, you will be accompanied by a seidhkennar, who can fathom the landslide rumbling that passes for
language between them. If you are truly blessed, your guide can settle that mountain back to sleep, before the mighty
being decides to crush those who disturb its slumber.
Returning to cold stone’s embrace, it might be years before the jötunn rises again, but time seems to matter little to
their kind. I simply pray I am never the cause of their ire, or have reason to defend against them—castle walls can
only do so much!

Warriors of the Dark Gods Supplement Army Book

This is an official The 9th Age product. It is a Supplement for Warriors of the Dark Gods. This product is not balanced
for tournament play.
The Makhar Steppe breeds tough inhabitants. Only through total commitment to our people can we Makhar
survive the inhospitable, endless plains and the ravaging creatures therein. Loyalty is expected and demanded of
all, weakness cannot be tolerated. Our allies are the beasts of the Steppes; horse, dog, mighty turul, and mammoth,
amongst others. Our code is one of war in the face of relentless struggle. From the depths of the mighty Steppe our
war hordes strike with elemental force. Our speed and ferocity are legendary. Not for us, the soft and easy life of
the settled people to our West. We are the children of the grass, the sky, and the wind, and we bring with us death.
My trusted kinsman, Munkács, will show you the might of our army; heed his words and mind yours, you are not
among friends here. Whilst I will honour the terms of the negotiations and refrain from spilling your blood, my
people may not show you such courtesies. Feast your eyes on our might and report back to your masters. Tell them
their demise is at hand should they refuse our demands.

A swarthy warrior steps forward. His contempt for us is evident from the sneer which he barely attempts to hide.
Stopping unpleasantly close to me he leers in the most appalling manner. Cowering behind him is a beaten curr of
a man, his garb is reminiscent of that worn in Equitaine, evidently he is a captive of this Munkács. The stench from
him is palpable, even from this distance but a glint in his eye indicates that some of the arrogance of his people
remains.
“Greetings Munkács, warrior of the Great Gyula.” I release my practiced charm, but it has little effect.
“Follow me, pampered weaklings of the settled lands. Dung Boy, see to his belongings.” Munkács inclines his head
towards the wretch and then towards my baggage.
“Yes, master, I shall. Right away…”
With that, the contemptuous warrior spins nimbly on his heel, walking purposefully into the depths of the camp.
I follow behind him.

recounting the words of Munkács and his band in the
Imperial account of the war parties reported to be
massing beyond the Beacons.

Our Gyulas lead by example, gifted leaders, as skilled in war as they are in holding together the fractious elements
of our people. This is no easy task and many fall to the usurper’s blade or the enemy’s spear. Those that master this
enigmatic art are elevated almost to the status of gods. When their time on the Steppe is at an end we raise massive
earth mounds to house their treasures in this realm and the next. The weak are left in the grass for the wolves.

The Steppe harbours many fearsome beasts. As children we learn of these terrors - the stories told around the fire

We are the Gyula’s shock cavalry. We ride larger horses than most Makhar, Kadzoly warmbloods, specially bred in
the lands bordering Vetia. Wielding fearsome double-handed lances, we close with the enemy with terrifying speed,
devastating our foes with bone splintering force. Either skewered by lance or smashed lifeless by flailing hooves, the
role of the lancers is to decimate arrow-riddled units, sending them fleeing or to their graves.

together. All Makhar can ride and are masters of the bow, our survival demands it and no man can match us. We ride
before we walk and shoot before we talk. With our bows a Makhar Horse Archer is to be feared, appearing without
warning and fading away as fast. The last sound many have heard is the flight of our arrows.

Among the Makhar, some follow a darker path. That of the Flayer. Where the herdsman is content with his horses and
sheep, the Flayer seeks more exotic and sometimes dangerous pastoral beasts. Chimeras, turuls, karkadans, and in
rare cases humans; the more dangerous the herd, the more prestigious in the eyes of a Flayer. To control these perilous
and unpredictable herds, Flayers mount the most spirited creatures: Shadow Chasers.

You want to know what haunts my nightmares? Thirty years I was a Reiter. Seen, fought, and killed most anything

the worst I faced… I’ll never forget it. Four warriors to deal with, two of them riding the horses… caused us a lot of
problems. Either too many bows, or too many of those damned heavy lances. Lost good men that day, Ullor bless them.

I am struggling to get the turul eggs you requested, Master. These creatures are smarter than eagles. When the mother

her nest my spotter shouts down to me and I must abort the climb. It’s as though the damned turul can see me from
miles away! These beasts are fearsome, truly. With the hindquarters of a mountain lion and the claws, head, and
wings of a giant hawk I dare not get close to the nest when she is within sight. I would be ripped to shreds. Another
method must be found.

Karkadan Herd Height
Type Beast
Our guide continues to find our ignorance amusing. Many months after we left Volskagrad, we camped the night in
a rocky river basin next to a watering hole fed by a small stream. Upon awakening with the morning sun I went to
stretch my legs and loose my bladder. Much to my surprise, I was confronted across the watering hole by a furry beast
with a gigantic nose-horn slurping greedily. In my excitement at being the first man of Zilas to experience the majesty
of a unicorn, I awoke the camp with my screams of delight. Once roused, our guide promptly dismissed my discovery
and informed me of the beast’s true nature. As if in agreement, the karkadan turned and released its bowels in my
direction, kicking its back legs to spread its steaming faeces. With a grunt it promptly rumbled off into the tundra to
join its herd.

Some Steppe people foster relations with the wandering giants of the grasslands. Although their lumbering gait is

Steppe Mammoth Height
Type Beast
Entering the valley from over a high pass, the green sea of grass spread out before us like verdant silk slung carelessly
across a floor. The deep blue of the morning sky met the boundless green of the steppe. The only thing disturbing
the idyllic folds of the grasslands appeared to be large boulders clumped together haphazardly. On closer inspection
these boulders seemed to possess a heavy fur coat. When I remarked this to our guide he almost fell off his horse with
laughter. He informed us that these boulders were in fact humongous beasts and quite approachable when grazing.
However, if roused to anger, these “mamuts”, he divulged, are unstoppable behemoths of rage. They are herded and
ridden in the same way as horses and their milk is fermented as a highly prized delicacy along the Makhar tribes —
kumis, powerful liquor.

Dung Boy I may be now, but not always. I used to be a warrior, a Questing Knight no less. Thirty years I served
The Lady at war. I’ve fought them all and journeyed far and wide to do so, smashing through their lines with
our lances. None could stand before us. But these Makhar, the only defeat I ever knew. We were on campaign in
Northern Taphria when we met the Steppe Horsemen. Our scouts brought tales of their skill in battle and so we
took appropriate countermeasures. But their horses never came, just hordes of Tamyir Vassals on foot. Apparently
the Makhar scouts had gotten closer than we thought and our ruse was diffused. Their screaming infantry quite
spooked the levies and no matter how hard I beat them they ran. Our lines were overrun in a trice. The Duke rallied
the Knights and charged, but their warriors just melted away before our lances and as our mounts tired we were
hit by all manner of Makhar monstrosities. Heavy cavalry wielding those horrific double handed lances, chariots
swarming with Makhar, giants carrying bolt throwers and all the time arrows raining down from the sky like
death. Then the mammoths joined the fray and I was, err, knocked unconscious. I came to as a prisoner and the
only survivor. It’s not much of a life shovelling dung, but it’s still a life eh?
I say, you don’t have any wine do you?
