quickstart rules
NORSGARD is a game that takes you into the world

of eternal winter Isbran. A world where valor and
cold steel mean more than the glisten of gold. In
Isbran it is the brave, not the wealthy, that deserve
to become heroes of stories told over mugs of ale.
Bands of champions traverse the old roads to fulfill
missions given by their sovereigns or in search of
fame and fortune.
Across the lands of Isbran, a perennial war between
the forces of good and evil rages. For centuries the
stalwart templars of the Order of the Ram have
been engaged in a bitter struggle against the elves,
the forever damned. Both sides have committed
terrible atrocities, casting a long shadow over entire
Isbran... Demons, long ago banished by elves, have
returned and enlisted new allies the barbarians of
the tribe of Mork. Now the Order of the Ram faces
a new threat. Are they up to the challenge? Or will
they stand alone, forsaken by all, and share the fate
that befell the elven kingdom so many years ago?
When the opposing armies cross swords, when ice
turns crimson, each side will cry out for heroes, for
the day can be won only by those whose deeds are
glorious enough to be immortalized in songs.
NORSGARD is a game in which small units of
warriors clash in brutal battles; here, no quarter is
given, and in order to win, you have to outwit your
opponent, take risky gambits, or quite the opposite
patiently wait for their mistake and move in for
the kill. Every warrior has an important part to play
on the field of battle; swordmasters try their steel in
duels to the death while powerful mages attempt to
sway the tide of battle by arcane spells, but without
an accomplished commander, their efforts are
doomed to fail.
NORSGARD features a unique game system,
which allows the players to make decisions at

every step of the match, offering much more than
simple dice rolling. At the same time, the rules are
straightforward enough to learn over the course of
two or three games. Of course, to fully grasp the
workings of your army and win consistently will
take you many more battles, for each army offers a
distinct play style.
NORSGARD is more than just battles. The
campaign system allows for leveling up each of your
fighters not unlike in an RPG. From battle to battle,
they steadily grow in power... So long as they do
not cross paths with a warrior stronger than they,
for then the injuries they suffer may render them
incapable of fighting any further.
Finally, NORSGARD is not merely a game, it is also
a rich world, a world of legends and heroes. It is also
fantastic models and illustrations to immerse you
in the universe of Isbran.
Now read on, muster your army, and

get together with a friend for a
battle in Isbran!
Let the clatter of arms sound across
the battlefields!

Chapter 1 - basic rules
On this page, your fantastic journey begins. Isbran, a world

of eternal winter, awaits her heroes, heroes brave enough to
fight the uneven battle against the forces of evil and carve
their legend into ancient stone. The time of the ultimate
trial approaches; warriors make ready for a great war,
scouts track enemy movements, sorcerers seek answers in
prophecies from ages past, while snow runs ever more red.
Never before has there been a better time to become a hero!
Basic
rules
rules priority
Instances may arise in which you are called to apply two or more mutually contradictory game effects. In such cases, apply the following
rule priorities:
Rules forbidding a particular effect from occurring take precedence over rules
allowing it to occur.
Example: if a character possesses a rule that states he suffers no damage from fire and he finds himself range of an effect dealing fire
damage, he suffers no damage from it.
Specific rules take precedence over general rules.
Example: a character resistant to fire damage can still take fire damage if a given effect ignores fire resistance.
Words in bold are terms crucial to the game
die rolls
The game uses ten-sided dice, D10 for short. A 3D10 notation means you are to roll three dice. Each result of 10 allows you to roll an
additional die in that test. These dice can generate further extra dice.
There are two basic types of tests, or rolls, that you might be called to make:
Standard Test roll a number of dice equal to the models attribute being tested. Each result equal to or higher than the
Difficulty Level generates one success. Each result lower than the Difficulty Level generates one failure. Regardless of what the
Difficulty Level is, a result of 1 is always a failure, while a 10 is always a success.
opposed Test an Opposed Test occurs when two or more models belonging to opposite armies carry out the same action,
trying to achieve opposite effects. In such a case, each player rolls a D10 and adds the value of his models attribute being tested. For
each result of 10, the player can re-roll the die and add the result to the previous. The player with the highest total wins. In case of a
tie, repeat the test until one side wins.
penalties
1 is the minimum, 10 is the maximum
Over the course of the game, a models attributes may decrease as a result
of certain effects, like sustained injuries, for example. This is reflected in
penalties the model suffers in the tests he makes. The game includes a single
type of penalty:
A player may never roll more than 10 dice

during a single standard test. If the number of
dice to be rolled would exceed 10, reduce it to
10 before rolling.
penalty/X this penalty lowers the value of the given attribute by X,

down to a minimum of 1.
Likewise, the maximum number of successes

achievable in a standard test caps out at 10.
Should the player roll more than 10 successes,
as a result of rolling additional dice, for example,
reduce them to 10.
Value of X, duration, and attributes to which the penalty applies are

always given in the effect that causes the penalty.
Penalties of the same type stack.
Example: A Tribal Warrior has incurred a penalty/2 to ATT, which he
has at 3. After applying the penalty, his ATT score is now 1. This means
that whenever he attacks, he rolls only one die instead of three.
In both standard and opposed tests, the minimum

value of the attribute being tested is 1.
Should it for any reason fall below 1, increase it
to 1 before rolling.
measuring distances
You can only measure a distance after you have declared an action. You cannot measure a distance past the actions maximum range, e.g.
if you are casting a spell with the maximum range of 8, you cannot measure farther than 8 from the caster. In addition, you are obliged
to inform your opponent of the distance between the two points measured.
Distances are always measured from the edge of a models base to the targets.
3"
A model is in range of a given action or effect if the distance to any part of his base is
equal to or lower than the range of the action or effect.
line of sight
In order to declare certain actions, a model may be required to have Line of Sight (LoS) to the
target. LoS is an imaginary line projecting from any point of the models base and ending at the
point the model wishes to see.
A model can only see the point if:
The LoS crosses no objects taller than the point to which the LoS is being drawn.
The LoS crosses no effects that block LoS, e.g. walls of fire or gas clouds.
Paint a spot or a vertical line on the base

of each model; this shall designate the
direction the model faces.
LoS
The models field of vision is delimited by an arc measuring 180.
The arc projects from the center of the models base, and its middle lies in the
spot marked on the base. This allows to clearly determine what is and what is not
within the models field of vision. You may trace LoS only from the parts of the
base that are located wholly within this arc.
area
180
cover
If a model is no farther than 1 from or inside of a scenery piece equal to or taller than half his height, he is considered behind cover to
models on the other side of that scenery piece.

Health points
hp determines the models stamina and resistance to punishment. The more HP the
model has lost as a result of enemy attacks, the more severe the consequences of wounds he sustains shall be.
Whenever a models attribute(s) modify due to an effect, the following rules apply:
Apply modifiers in the order they occur, from the earliest
to the latest. E.g. in turn 2, a models STR was permanently
reduced from 4 to 2. During a subsequent turn, a blessing
multiplies his STR by 3. As a result, his current STR score equals
((STR4 2) x 3) = STR 6.
Additionally, effects pertaining to the current value (the current

modified value), and the base value (unmodified printed value)
are separate effects and may be treated differently. Unless noted
otherwise, always apply the current value.
Whenever a number of effects simultaneously modify a

models attribute, apply the order of operations identical to
the one used in mathematics, i.e. multiplication/division is
done first and addition/subtraction is done second.
All attribute modifiers, both positive and negative, are

cumulative only if originating from disparate sources. E.g.
if a strength-increasing spell of the same name is cast twice
on one model (even if it is cast by two different mystics),
the modifier is only applied once. If, however, two different
strength-increasing spells are cast on that model, both
modifiers are applied and stack.
Effects that set the attribute to a fixed value are

applied last.

setup
The game is played on a 24 by 30 table
terrain placement
Scenery pieces unless stated otherwise in the description of the scenario played, the players should place the scenery pieces however
they wish.
We recommend you place no more than 3-4 large scenery pieces, such as hills, buildings, woods, etc. In addition, you should place
between 6 and 8 smaller scenery pieces, such as fences, lone trees, ruins, etc. After agreeing upon the number and type of scenery pieces,
the players alternate in placing them on the table.
Rules for terrain are described in detail in Chapter 8 Terrain.
deploying troops
To determine who deploys first, the players make a Command Test an opposed test using their respective commanders
CMD score. In case of a tie, keep repeating the test until one side wins.
The winner chooses the deployment zone in which he will deploy his troops. His opponent takes the opposite zone.
The winner picks two of his models (or just one, if it is impossible) and places them in his deployment zone. His opponent then does
the same. Players continue to deploy their models in turn until all are placed on the table.

Chapter 3 - playing the game
playing
the game
The game is divided into turns
Each turn is composed of 4 phases
command phase
activation phase
moves / ranged attacks / spells
combat phase close combat attacks / damage tests

resolution phase
command phase
During the command phase, the players make an opposed CMD test using their respective commanders CMD stat this is called the
Command Test.
The winner decides who will activate his models first in the activation phase. In case of a tie, keep repeating the test until one side wins.
In addition, the winner can:
Once per turn, after his opponent declares an activation refusal, force him to activate a model, and this time he cannot refuse to do so.
Choose the combat to be resolved first during the combat phase.
If your commander is no longer on the table for any reason or is in the dying state (see Chapter 4), assume his
CMD is 0 for the purposes of the test. You nevertheless benefit from any applicable modifiers to this roll.
Activation phase
The player chosen by the winner of the Command Test made in the last command phase MUST activate one of his models. Once the
model activated has performed all of his actions, he declares the end of his activation.
A model is not obliged to conduct any actions in his activation if the owning player wishes so; nevertheless, he is still
considered to have been activated. Whether he elects to make any actions, the model cannot be activated again this turn.
Place an activated token by the models base to make it clear that he has already been activated this turn.
An activated model can perform one of the following actions:

Standard Move a move up to the models mov
in inches. If at any point during this move the model comes
into base to base contact with an enemy model(s), the move
immediately ends and the model is assumed to have entered
close combat. Otherwise, he can perform one of the following
actions once he is finished moving:
Run a move up to the models mov multiplied by 2. At

no point during this action is the model allowed to come into
base to base contact with an enemy model(s).
Charge
Breaking away from melee
1. Shoot a model can shoot once per turn (see below).

2. Cast a Spell a model can cast spells multiple times
per round(see below).
3. Special Action described in the scenario played
or in the models profile.
Next, his opponent designates one of his models and activates it. He can also make an activation refusal, in which case the right to
activate a model is passed onto his opponent. If the opponent, in turn, also makes an activation refusal, the Activation Phase immediately
ends and the Combat Phase begins.
The players activate their models in turn, continuing as long as there remain inactivated models on the table. If one of the players
happens to run out of models to activate, the other player activates his entire remaining models one after the other.
Once none of the players have any models left to activate, the activation phase ends.
The player whose model is currently being activated is the active player, whereas his opponent is the passive player.
The following actions can be performed after making a move
shooting
Some models come equipped with ranged weaponry. Such models may perform ranged attacks. From here on, the model making the
shot will be called the Shooter, and the model being shot the Target.
After declaring a shooting attack, go through the following steps:
Choose one of the ranged weapons the Shooter possesses to make the attack with.
Nominate the Target of the ranged attack. It has to be in the Shooters LoS.
Check whether there are any hostile models within 3 of the Shooter, including the Target. If at least one enemy model is
found to be within 3, the shot may not be made due to too close a proximity. In this case, the Shooters activation ends, and
the action is cancelled.
Having gone through the above, make a shooting test.
First off, measure the distance between the Shooter and the Target. If the distance is equal to or smaller than the maximum range of the
ranged weapon being used, then the final result of the shooting test will be decided by a die roll.
If the distance between the Shooter and the Target exceeds the weapons maximum range, then the test is automatically failed, regardless
of the result of the shooting test (you are still obliged to make all the rolls!).
Shooting test (opposed test)

The Shooters owning player rolls a D10 and adds to the result the Shooters ATT and any applicable modifiers stemming from the
weapon being used, Shooters special abilities, as well as any modifiers from the Shooting test modifiers table.
The Targets owning player rolls a D10 and adds to the result the Targets DEF and any modifiers stemming from his special abilities.
If the Shooters total is equal to or higher than the Targets, the shot hits home make the damage roll.
If the Shooter's total is less than the Target's, then the shot misses.

Shooting into melee

The shooter may target an enemy model in melee. In this case, regardless of the circumstances, ignore the modifier for attacking from
outside the targets LoS, if applicable.
There are three possible outcomes when shooting a Target engaged in melee:
If the Shooters shooting test total is equal to or higher than the Targets, assume the shot hits make the damage roll as standard
(see below).
If the Shooters total is lower by 1 or 2, assume the shot flies wide and has no further effect.
If the Shooters total is lower by 3 or more, he runs a considerable risk of hitting a friendly model engaged in combat against the
Target. In this case, the Targets owning player rolls a D10; on a 5 or more, he may nominate a model in the same combat as the
Target. This is the model the shot hits. On a 4 or less, nothing happens the Shooter misses.
Makeshift ranged weapons

Desperate times call for desperate measures. A model wielding a one-handed weapon may use it to make a ranged attack with the
following profile:
Short range: 6 Maximum range: 8 Strength Special rules
+1
-2
none
ranged weapons example

A Vei-Banshee is equipped with a javelin with the following profile:
+1
-1
none
This means that should the Vei-Banshee hurl the javelin at a target within 7, she will apply a +1 ATT modifier to the test. Were the target
farther than 7 but no farther than 12, she would benefit from a -1 ATT modifier instead. Targets located beyond 12 are outside the
weapons range, and any attempts at attacking them are automatically failed.
If the enemy is hit, the Vei-Banshee will roll 3D10 in the damage roll.
Casting spells
After making a move, a model possessing the mpw attribute can cast a spell only if it is not in contact with an enemy model at the end
of it. In order to do so, he must:
Choose one of the spells he knows.
Pay the cost listed in the chosen spells description.
Nominate the target of the spell.
Check whether the target is in range of the spell. If it is out of range, the spell fails.
Make a casting test (see Chapter 5 Casting Spells). If the test is passed, resolve the effects of the spell according to its description.
Charging
A model wishing to charge must meet the following requirements:
At the start of its activation, he cannot be in melee with an enemy model(s).
He must have LoS to the model he is charging.
If the above requirements are met, the model can move up to his current mov +3 in the direction of the target. The move does not have
to be in a straight line. At the end of this move, any part of the attackers base must be touching any part of the targets base.
If the distance between the models is greater than possible for the charging model to cover, he is obliged to move as far as possible
towards the target in a way that takes him as close to the target as possible.
After concluding the charge, whether it was successful or failed,
the models activation ends.
10
If the distance between both models was equal to or higher than 3 before the
move was made and all the above requirements are met, the charging model
increases his ATT by +1 when attacking the model charged this turn.
The model charged cannot willfully move this turn as long as he is in base to
base contact with the charging model. If activated when in this state, he cannot
perform any actions unless his rules explicitly state to the contrary. This means
the model is not permitted to break away from melee.
If at any point during the charge move the attackers current mov is
reduced to below its base value (e.g. due to charging through difficult
terrain), he receives no bonuses for the charge.
2,7"
The initial distance between the models is smaller than 3".

Thus even if the charge is not made in a straight line and the
model covers a distance equal or greater than 3", the model
will not benefit from a +1 ATT bonus. In red is the model's
position after the charge (it is not required to charge in a
straight line).
3"
Breaking away from melee

If at the beginning of his activation the model is in melee, he can attempt to break away. Both combatants make an opposed ATT test. If
the model is in contact with more than one enemy model, the opposing player designates which one of his models will participate in the
test; that model receives a cumulative modifier of +1 to ATT for each friendly model other than himself that is in contact with the model
attempting to break away, for the purposes of this test only.
If the active model wins, he may make a standard move and take any actions permitted after doing so; he may even come into contact with
another enemy model as a result of it; however, he cannot run or charge.
If the active model loses the test, his activation immediately ends.
Combat phase
Once all models in play have finished their activations, the combat phase begins.
The player with more models in melee than his opponent divides all combats between more than two participants into as many one-onone combats as possible. Consequently, each model must remain in melee with at least one enemy model. If it is impossible to divide
combats in this manner, divide them into smallest combats possible instead.
If both players possess precisely the same number of models in melee, the winner of this turns command test divides the combats.
Afterwards, the player who won the Command Test nominates the first combat to be resolved. After it is resolved, the opposing
player nominates another combat. The players continue to resolve combats in turn until none are left.
A combat is considered to be resolved when all the models participating in it have
completed all of their actions.
Models engaged in one combat are always considered to have LoS to each other.

form attack and damage dice pools
Each player forms an attack dice pool for his model with a number of dice equal to the models current ATT, as well as a damage dice
pool, with a number of dice equal to the models current str.
declare combat styles
The players compare the attack dice pool values of the models participating in the combat. The side with the lowest attack dice pool
first declares which combat style (see below) it will adopt. If the ATT values are equal, the players make an opposed ATT test. The loser
declares the type of style first. In case of a tie, keep repeating the test until one side wins. Once the first player has decided on the style,
the other picks his. Now each player modifies his attack and damage pools accordingly to the chosen combat style.
perform attack tests
The players make a simultaneous standard ATT test for their models based on their attack dice pools. The difficulty level for each model is
equal to the opponents DEF. The player that scores more successes rolls his damage test first (see Damage Test below). In case of a tie, both
players roll their damage tests at the same time. If the player fails to achieve any successes in the attack roll, he does not make a damage test.
determine final damage pools
Each player increases his damage dice pool by the number of successes on his ATT test and his damage test.
Combat styles
During close combat, the players may influence the way their models fight by choosing one of the three combat styles:
Defensive combat the model subtracts 1 die from his Damage dice pool, down to a minimum of 1 die in the pool.
Then his DEF increases by +1 for the duration of the combat.
Brutal strike the model subtracts 1 die from his Attack dice pool, down to a minimum of 1 die in the pool. He gains +2
on his Damage effect table rolls against the enemy for the duration of the combat. This stacks with any other modifiers.
Standard attack both the attack and damage dice pools remain unchanged; this style follows no special rules.
12
Damage Test
The damage test is a standard test with a difficulty level equal to the opponents arm.
The number of dice rolled in the damage test is equal to:
[ranged attacks] the strength of weapon used.
[close combat attacks] the number of dice in the damage dice pool.
Effects of the damage roll are described in Chapter 4.
combat example
A Crimson Champion wielding a sword charges a Tribal Warrior
fighting with a sword and shield.
At the start of the combat, each player assembles attack and
damage dice pools for their models.
Crimson Champion
Attack dice pool: 4 (base ATT) + 1 charge bonus = 5
Damage dice pool: 6 (base str)
Tribal Warrior
Attack dice pool: 3 (base ATT)
Damage dice pool: 4 (base str)
With the dice pools finalized, the players compare the attack dice pools of models participating in the combat. The Crimson Champion
has more dice in his pool (5) than the Tribal Warrior, who has merely 3 attack dice, which means it is the Tribal Warrior who chooses
the combat style first.
The Tribal Warrior picks Defensive Combat and elects to reduce his damage pool by 1 die in order to boost his DEF by +1.
The Crimson Champion decides to make a Standard Attack, which means his dice pools remain as they are.
Having finalized the attack and damage pools and chosen combat styles, the models now simultaneously make a standard ATT test, rolling
as many dice as they have in their attack pools. The difficulty level is the enemys current DEF.
The Crimson Champion rolls 5 dice (the number of dice in his attack pool) against difficulty level 6 (Tribal Warriors base DEF (4) +
Defensive Combat bonus (1) + Shield (1)). He rolls the following: 3, 9, 6, 1, 5. Not his best attempt, sadly only the results of 6 and 9 are a
success. The Crimson Champion ends his attack with a meager 2 successes.
The Tribal Warrior rolls 3 dice (the number of dice in his attack pool) against difficulty level 4 (Crimson Champions base DEF (4)).
He rolls the following: 3, 4 and 10. The 10 allows him to roll an additional die, netting him a 6. In the end, the Tribal Warrior achieves
3 successes in the attack test.
Since the Tribal Warrior has more successes than the Crimson Champion, he makes his damage test first.
The Tribal Warriors damage dice pool was initially 3 (Tribal Warriors base str (4) - Defensive Combat penalty (1)), but as he rolled 3
successes in the attack test, it increases by 3 (the number of successes in the attack test), which gives him a total of 6 dice to roll.
The difficulty level for the damage test is 5 (the Crimson Champions arm). The results end up
being: 9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 6. Thus the test yields 6 successes, losing the Crimson Champion 6 hp and inflicting him a flesh wound (see Chapter 4).
It is now time to resolve the Crimson Champions attack. Originally, his damage dice pool was 6. He rolled 2 successes in the attack test,
bumping it up to 8 (6 + 2). Unfortunately, the Tribal Warriors blow resulted in a flesh wound, incurring the Crimson Champion a penalty/1
to str. As such, before he can take the damage test, his damage dice pool has to be reduced by -1 die, giving him a final score of 7 (8 -1).
The difficulty level for the damage test is 4 (the Tribal Warriors arm). The results end up being:
9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 6, 10. The 10 allows him to roll an additional die, netting him a 9.Thus the test yields 8 successes This might well be the
Tribal Warriors final battle.
13
vae victis!
If, as a result of an attack, a model is removed from the table or sinks into the dying state (see Chapter 4), his opponent, if not in contact
with any non-dying models, may immediately move a distance up to half of his base mov.
After moving, if the model comes into contact with an enemy model, resolve the new combat immediately. The model may move into
contact with a model that participated in a battle that has already been resolved this turn. This does not trigger another battle, however.
A model may use vae victis! only once per turn.
A model that has used vae victis! may not come into contact with more than one enemy model.
Coup de grce
The model may also opt to stand still and finish off the enemy who has just entered dying state as a result of his attack. This is
considered a vae victis!
In this case, the model in the dying state is immediately removed from the table and considered killed. This action is called
coup de grce.
Fighting multiple enemies

If a model is in combat with more than one opponent, apply the following changes to the above sequence.
The player controlling more than one model in the combat nominates one of them to participate in it; his opponent will fight
against him and only against him. The remaining models may not perform attacks or be attacked.
The chosen models ATT and str are increased by +1 for each friendly model other than him in the same combat.
Only models that attack in this combat may benefit from vae victis!
After resolving the combat, if the model has fought against multiple enemies and is entitled to a vae victis!, he may initiate
another combat against an enemy in contact. In this case, he may not make the move granted by vae victis!
resolution phase
The resolution phase is divided into the following steps:
1 . Resolve and terminate any effects that last until the end of the turn or occur at the end of the turn.

Chapter 4 - Damage & Wounds
damages
& wounds
The color of the last HP crossed in the attack determines

the damage table to be rolled on in order to find out the
consequences of the attack (see below).
Rolls on damage tables are made with a D10. After allocating
damage and determining the damage table to be used, the
player dealing the damage rolls a single D10 and alters the
result following any applicable modifiers. He then checks the
final result against the table to find out what wounds he has
caused to the target.
In the damage table you will find two types of effects caused by the
damage the model sustains:
A model suffers damage only if his opponent achieves at least

one success on the damage roll. For each such success, cross
out one Health Point [HP] of the targets.
instant effects stemming from the wound suffered are

resolved immediately upon taking it.
delayed effects stemming from the wound suffered are
HPs are crossed out from left to right.
resolved at the end of the current combat.
The fewer HPs the model has remaining, the graver the
wounds he sustains will be.
The distinction between instant and delayed damage applies

only in the Close Combat Phase. Outside of it, resolve any
effects from wounds sustained at once and at the same time.
HP boxes come in three colors white, yellow, and red.

Chapter 4 - Damage & Wounds
No more Health points

If during an attack all of the models remaining HPs are crossed, or the model had no HPs left before it was made, roll on the
red damage table , adding +2 to the result.
wounds
Serious
wound the model suffers a

wound penalty/1 to the following attributes: ATT,
DEF, brv; as well as a wound penalty/2 to str.
Additionally, the model may not run or charge.
These penalties persist as long as the model has a
serious wound. A serious wound remains until an effect cures
it. A model with a serious wound suffers no extra effects from
further serious wounds (do not place additional serious wound
markers). In the event a model sustains a serious wound while
already suffering from a flesh wound, ignore penalties stemming
from the flesh wound. When the model heals the serious wound by
a game effect but not the flesh wound, re-apply the penalties from
the remaining flesh wound.
The wounds a model suffers from damage have a considerable

impact on his performance on the field of battle. In order to
make it clear what sort of wound the model has sustained,
place an appropriate marker next to his base. We have
included a set of print-ready markers at the end of this book
for your convenience.
Dazed the model becomes momentarily
disoriented from the blow. Until the end of

the next turn, he may perform only Standard
Attacks and may not run, charge, or cast spells.
At the end of the next turns resolution phase, remove
the dazed marker. A model may be dazed only once per turn.
If he becomes dazed in the following turn, the effects of the
daze are extended till the next turn.
Dying lay the model on his side in the
spot where he stood (if possible) or place an

appropriate marker next to him. Until the end of
the next turn, the model may not in his activation
declare any actions other than move up to 2, and
any enemies in base contact with him are considered not to
be in melee with him. Any attacks that target this model hit
automatically, killing him outright no rolls are needed;
remove him from the table. If during the next resolution phase
the model is still in play, he stands back up and immediately
suffers a serious wound.
Flesh wound the model suffers a wound

penalty/1 to the following attributes: ATT, str,
DEF, brv. The penalty persists as long as the
model has a flesh wound. A flesh wound remains

until an effect cures it. A model with a flesh wound
suffers no extra effects from further flesh wounds (do not place
additional flesh wound markers).
some examples
Example 1
Example 3
Models condition before sustaining damage:
As a result of a damage roll, the model loses 5 HP.
The last crossed HP box is white colored. As such, roll a D10

against the white damage table.
The last crossed HP box is red colored. As such, roll a D10 against
the red damage table.
Example 2
Example 4

Due to the fact the model has already lost all possible HPs, each
time he is damaged, roll a D10 against the red damage
table, always adding +2 to the result.
The last crossed HP box is yellow colored. As such, roll a D10

against the yellow damage table.

Chapter 5 - commanders & mystics
commanders
and mystics
There are two kinds of models
that warrant further elaboration
on account of the roles they serve in
the army, represented by an extra set of rules.
Mystics are the support element of the army. Their task

can be to either aid friendly models by bolstering their
strength and healing their wounds, or directly stymie the
foe. Naturally, it would be easiest to simply hurl a fireball
at the enemy, but most mystics have far subtler tricks up
their sleeves. Some channel their powers from gods, or
demons impersonating gods, others tap into their own
souls or the world surrounding them.
The role of commander is most straightforward he

is to lead his men into battle. His presence enables his
subordinates to quickly react and adapt to the ebb and
flow of the battle as well as draw inspiration from his
leading by example.
commander
Each army may be led by only one commander. A commander is described by attributes identical to those of standard models,
aside from the Command [CMD] attribute, which other models generally lack.
A commander has a smattering of special rules that reflect his role on the battlefield:
All friendly models within 6 of the commander may use his brv score whenever they are called to test it.
Once per game, a commander may re-roll any one test he is personally called to make.
Once per game, a commander may ignore penalties from wounds. Declare you will be using this rule upon activating the
commander. This effect lasts until the end of the turn.
mystics
Mystics are described by an extra attribute Mystic Power [MpW]. It reflects the mystics aptitude with all things arcane.
Models with MPW may cast spells available to the army to which they belong. Detailed spell descriptions can be found in the
chapters dedicated to the individual armies.
A mystic may know any number of spells from his armys spell list.
At the start of the game, each mystic holds a number of Magic Stones [MS] equal to his MpW.
At any point in the game, a mystic can only posses a number of Magic Stones up to twice his MpW.
In the resolution phase, each mystic automatically recovers 2 Magic Stones by default.
In addition, he may elect to make a standard MpW test. The difficulty level is always 3. For each success, the mystic recovers
one Magic Stone. Each roll of 1 loses the mystic 1 HP. Whether to test for Magic Stone recovery is entirely up to the mystic. He
may also elect to roll a lower number of dice than his MpW score. In this case, declare the number of dice before rolling them.
Considering that recovery tests may be the turning point of the battle, declare and make them starting with the model with the
lowest MpW score, regardless of which player controls him, and ending with the highest. In the event that MpW values of two
or more mystics controlled by opposing players are equal, the order is decided by an opposed MpW test done by these mystics.
If the result is a tie, keep rolling until one side wins. The loser declares and rolls for Magic Stone recovery first.

Chapter
- arms & equipment
Chapter
5 - 6commanders
& mystics
casting a spell
During his activation, a mystic may cast any spell from the list of spells he has learned, provided he is not in base contact with any enemy
models after making a standard move (or standing still). A mystic may cast up to two spells each turn, regardless of whether any are
successful. These may be either two different spells or a single spell cast twice.
Each spell and miracle has the following characteristics:

MS cost specifies the number of Magic Stones the mystic must expend from his pool to cast the spell.
Difficulty level specifies the difficulty level of the standard mpw test the mystic has to make.
Successes specifies the number of successes the caster has to achieve in the test for his spell to work.
Range specifies the maximum range in inches at which the spell or miracle can be cast.
Description explains both the spells effects and the requirements the caster must meet in order to use it.
Upon declaring the use of a spell, the mystic must expend a number of MS equal to the spells MS cost. The MS are expended whether the
spell is cast successfully or not. Next, declare the target and check whether all requirements listed in the spells description are fulfilled
and the target within range.
If at least one of these conditions is not met, the spell automatically fails. If all are met, the caster makes a standard mpw test against
the spells difficulty level.
Before rolling, the caster may expend additional MS. For each MS point expended in this manner, the mystic may roll an extra die in the
test. If he achieves a number of successes equal to or higher than required by the spell, he manages to cast the spell properly; apply the
effects listed in its description. Otherwise, the spell is failed.

Chapter 6 - arms & equipment
arms &
equipment
A number of weapons and equipment are shared between armies.
This chapter lists all such items along with their rules.
One-handed weapon this category covers a whole slew of weapons that can be used to good effect with just one hand. A
model wielding such a weapon may also bear a shield or another one-handed weapon in the off hand. It can be hurled as a makeshift
ranged weapon (see Chapter 3). A model fighting with two one-handed weapons gains +1 att in each Close Combat Phase.
Two-handed weapon a model wielding a two-handed weapon may not use another weapon or shield at the same
time. In close combat, the model gains a +2 bonus to rolls on the damage effects table against the enemy.
Shield a model may use a shield only if he is wielding in the off hand a one-handed weapon or nothing at all. A model using
a shield gains +1 DEF when resolving shooting attacks that target him, as well as during each Close Combat Phase.
Spear (one-handed weapon) models charging a model wielding a spear benefit from no bonuses from charging
other than bonuses to mov; this also applies to any relevant abilities, e.g. Brutish Charge. Enemies in melee with a model
armed with a spear and shield suffer a penalty/1 to str. A spear may also be used as a ranged weapon. Due to differences in
design of spears employed by the various armies, the spears profile is found in the particular armys armory.
A model holding multiple weapons must declare which ones to use at the time he forms his first attack dice pool in each close
combat phase (see Chapter 3). Until the end of the ongoing combat phase, he may not use any other weapon(s). If the model
had already used a shield this turn (against a ranged attack, for example), he is obliged to hold a shield in one hand in this close
combat phase. A model fighting with just a shield applies a penalty/2 to str till the end of the close combat phase.
19
Chapter 7 - fear & panic
Fear &
panic
In the chaos of battle, warriors have the right to be seized
by dread when their companions are slain, the situation turns bleak,
or when charged by a particularly ferocious foe.
In game terms, fear of the enemy and the panic springing from
inevitable defeat is governed by the rules below.
fear
Fear applies to each model individually and is resolved separately for each model affected by it.
A model struck by fear makes an opposed brv test. Instead of rolling higher than the enemy, however, he has to roll equal to
or higher than the level of fear that affects him.
Fear is always noted as Fear/X, where X stands for a number, e.g. Fear/9 means the model testing against fear must achieve a total
result ( brv + D10) of at least 9 to overcome it. If he does, he is immune to fear of that level or lower until the end of the game.
Models with Fear/X automatically pass fear tests of value equal to or lower than the models Fear/X score. For example, a
model with Fear/9 automatically passes any fear test of value 9 or lower. Should he wish to charge an enemy with Fear/10 or
better, he would make a fear test as normal.
When declaring a charge against a model with Fear/X, resolve the fear test before the model moves.
If a model is charged by an enemy with Fear/X, make the test after the charge is resolved, but only if it is successful. If it is
failed, the target is not subject to fear.
If the test is failed, that is the total result was lower than the fear level, the model applies the following until the end of the turn:
if the model is active, his activation immediately ends; the model performs no further actions;
if the model has not been activated this turn, he may not perform actions when activated;
the model may not benefit from vae victis!;
the model suffers a penalty/1 to ATT and brv;
the model is ignored when checking for objectives during scenario play. If the model was in possession of a token
connected with any scenario objective, he drops it place it in contact with his base.
panic
The rules for panic apply to the entire army.
When warriors start dying, doubt may worm its way into the ranks of even most disciplined soldiers. The army would then
rather retreat than continue to fight, in order to regroup, replenish its strength, and prepare for the next clash.
An army is subjected to panic once more than 65% of its models (rounding up) have been removed from the table. From
this point on and until the end of the game, every model in the army applies a penalty/2 to brv. Furthermore, the army
automatically loses the CMD test during the Command Phase, assuming the opposing army is not panicked either. If both
sides happen to be panicked, they make the CMD roll in the Command Phase as normal.
During campaign play, the panicked army may elect to yield the game at the end of each resolution phase. In this case, the
opposing player is considered to have fulfilled all scenario objectives and wins the game.

Chapter 8 - terrain
Terrain
8
Terrain is divided into three basic types
Normal terrain usually the dominant type on the table, it has no effect on the models movement.
It includes, amongothers, roads, fields, gentleslopes, etc.
Difficult terrain this type of terrain hinders movement to a large degree. If a model moves through difficult
terrain, his mov is halved so long as he remains in it. E.g. if a model with a mov of 4 covers a distance of 1 through normal
terrain and then enters difficult terrain, he will be able to move only 1.5 through it.
It includes, among others, shallow rivers, marshes, debris, steep slopes, woods, etc.
Impassable terrain no model can enter or cross this type of terrain.
It includes, among others, vertical rock faces, deep rivers, chasms, lava flows, etc.
scenery pieces
full
movement
not affecting movement

Scenery pieces of dimensions smaller than a cube with
a side length of 1, e.g. low walls or barrels, do not affect
movement or game effects in any way.
affecting movement
Scenery pieces taller than 1 but no taller than the models height (see Chapter 1)
require the model to sacrifice half of his base mov to cross. A model can end his
move on a scenery piece if its width allows the model to be placed upon it. If there
is not enough room for him on top, place him on the other side of the scenery piece.
half
movement
half
movement
special cases
Woods if a segment of LoS greater than 4 crosses woods, there is no LoS between the points. Additionally, models in woods
are considered to be in cover for the purposes of shooting.
Water models submerged in water are considered to be in cover for the purposes of shooting. If a model falls into water, the
damage he should suffer is ignored unless he fell from a height greater than 4. In this case, the damage is still ignored, but the model
becomes dazed (see Chapter 4).
21
Chapter 8 - terrain
climbing
Any model may climb vertical surfaces, e.g. cliffs or walls. Vertical movement (up or down) is done with half the models base mov.
Furthermore, for each 4 (rounding up) the model covers, he must make an opposed str or mov test (players choice) against difficulty
level 9. Additionally, a roll of 9 is always considered a success in this test.
If the test is passed, the model makes a safe climb. Otherwise, the model falls down. Rules for falling are described further down.
jumping
A model wishing to jump from one spot to another makes an opposed base mov test. The difficulty level for the test is 4 + the distance
to be jumped in inches (rounding up). A result equal to or higher than the difficulty level is a success. A result lower than the difficulty
level is a failure place the model at the halfway point of the intended jump. Generally, it means the model falls down (see below).
A jump may only be made as part of a run action.
If the jump attempt is successful, the model may continue his run move, but he may never cover a total distance (including the jump)
greater than it could during a normal run action.
If the distance the model has to cover before the jump combined with the distance jumped is higher than twice the models mov, the
test is automatically failed. In this case, move the model a full distance equal to its mov x 2. This may result in the model falling down.
falling
A model that falls down makes an opposed test against difficulty 9 + the number of inches he falls down, rounding up. Instead of an
attribute score, add to the D10 the models current HP. If the final result is equal to or higher than the difficulty level, nothing ill happens
to the model. If the result is lower than the difficulty level, however the test is failed and the model applies the effects listed below:
If the fall is from a height equal to or smaller than 4, the model becomes dazed (see Chapter 4).
If the fall is from a height bigger than 4, the model suffers a damage roll. Its strength is 1D10 for each 1 over the above 4 (rounding
up). E.g. if the model falls from a height of 8.5, he suffers a hit with a strength of 5D10 (9 4 = 5). After resolving the test, the
model rolls on the Damage Effect Table according to the rules given in Chapter 4. In addition, the model becomes dazed.
Hazardous terrain
A model that enters Hazardous Terrain is obliged to make an
immediate opposed test against difficulty level corresponding to
the risk level determined before the game. Instead of an attribute
score, add to the D10 roll the models current HP. If the final
result is equal to or higher than the difficulty level, nothing ill
happens to the model. If the result is lower than the difficulty
level, however the test is failed and the model applies the effects
listed in the Hazardous Terrain Effects table.
The use of the rules given in this subsection requires prior

consent from both players. That said, we recommend against
employing them until the players feel comfortable with the
basic rules of the game these particular rules are considered
entirely optional.
Hazardous Terrain is a fairly broad category, covering rushing
rivers capable of drowning the warriors, dilapidated structures
threatening to collapse at any time, or dim caverns. After
setting down the scenery pieces, the players ought to decide
which areas are considered Hazardous Terrain as well as the
Risk Level of each. Risk Levels are listed in the Hazardous
Terrain Risk Levels table.
Should a model begin his activation in Hazardous Terrain, do

not make a test unless he ends his move in Hazardous Terrain
in this case, resolve the test immediately after finishing the move.

Chapter 9 - building an army
building
an army
Before the players can do battle, they have to choose the army they will command. A player may select only
models found in the chosen army list and outfit them with weapons and equipment listed in the armys armory.
Moreover, the players need to agree upon the Gold Coins limit. No player may go over this limit when assembling his army.
The cost in Gold Coins for each model, weapon, or piece of equipment is given in its profile.
The recommended Gold Coins limit is between 150 and 450 Gold.
Every model is described in the following manner:

Name following the models name, in brackets, is given the minimum and maximum number of models of his type that
can be deployed.
Type designates the category to which the model belongs; as a rule, each army has a limit on special models; look for
it in the armys description.
Description presents the models role in the army and a short note on it.
Special rules some models have additional talents, expressed by special rules.
Equipment lists the models starting weapons and equipment, whose cost is already included in the models.
Cost the models cost in Gold Coins [GC].
Additional equipment includes information on extra weapons and equipment the model may have and the
cost in Gold Coins the player has to pay in order to outfit the model with it. The player purchases extra equipment at his
discretion. Nevertheless, a model may never carry more than 3 weapons at once (a shield also counts against the weapon
limit; each two-handed weapon counts as two).
Level comes into play only during campaigns and defines the models starting level when recruited into the army.
Experienced warriors are usually of higher level than greenhorns. This fact is reflected in their higher attributes, but they
pay for it with a slower advancement rate.
Experience comes into play only during campaigns and determines the initial number of experience points the model
has, which is linked with his level. Models with a high number of experience points are a source of pride for any army.

chapter 11 -Army lists
army list
the scarlet watch

Templars of the Order of the Ram are perceived as relicts of
a bygone age, proud knights whose days of glory have already
come and gone. All the same, the order has its share of dark
secrets. During a battle amid mountain passes, a group of
templars, lured by promises of power, entered into a pact with
the undead and joined the force intent on subjugating Isbran.
None besides the templars have ever learned of this treachery.
The orders Master wasted no time in sending out to Raven
Keep, situated in the path of the oncoming army, mages of the
inner circle assisted by a detachment of the elite Ysil Guard that
they swiftly dispatch the traitors.
The bitter clash took place at the gates of the old fortress. Faithful
Templars slaughtered the undead and renegade brothers alike
without a shred of pity. With the death of the head necromancer,
the undead resistance faltered and soon enough their army took
flight. All that remained were dazed templars who had not long
ago forsaken their comrades for the enemy... But now, without
the necromancer, without sweet promises whispering into their
minds, the horridness of the act they had perpetrated finally
occurred to them in full. They dropped their weapons at once
and surrendered to their fate.

The surviving pair of mages kept the Ysil Guard from executing
the traitors. Instead, they were shackled and marched back
home through the night... disgraced, under the gloom brought
on by heavy clouds clotting the sky. None of the victors raised
the orders banner in triumph that day.
The renegades were locked away in the fortress dungeon, while
the mages sought counsel with the Master.
Ultimately, the decision was against putting the brothers
corrupted by the vile sorcerer to the sword. The order had been
slowly worn away by never-ending wars and the ranks of the
templars were ever diminishing. The traitors were given an
opportunity to redeem themselves through honorable death in
defense of Isbran. Naturally, for fear of them again falling to
necromantic temptations, they were not stationed in mountain
posts but instead charged with keeping forest roads clear of
barbarians. They were to be watched over by mages and fellow
templars who had taken part in the shameful battle. And thus
was the Scarlet Watch born.
Army composition
Special abilities
A Scarlet Watch party must always include

exactly one commander.
Purposeful once per game, when a friendly Scarlet Watch
model finishes his activation, the owning player may immediately

activate another Scarlet Watch model.
A Scarlet Watch may include up to three

specialist troopers.
Warriors of the Scarlet Watch benefit from the following ability:
The total number of models in a Scarlet

Watch party may not exceed 10.
Brave members of the Scarlet Watch may re-roll all failed
brv tests.
Special training
turn, the selected model gains Fear/(X+2), where X is the

models base brv score. Increase the cost of each model in
the army by 1GC.
In addition to the regular training every initiate undergoes, the

templars are further tutored by their appointed commanders.
Depending on the mission they are given, it might be intensive
physical work-out, if the unit is expected to cover large stretches
craggy highlands, or a number of other, highly-specialized
exercises. In the case of the Scarlet Watch, the templars are often
subjected to mystical rites which grant them extraordinary
powers... The exact nature of these ceremonies is a closely guarded
secret and revealed to no one but the circle of high mages.
Hold the line! all models in the army have Indomitable.
Increase the cost of each model in the army by 1GC.
Dark salvation this training may be used whenever a
friendly model within 10 of a mystic belonging to the army

is target of a damage roll. After making the damage roll but
before resolving it, the mystic may expend 3 Magic Stones
to force the opponent to re-roll all successes gained in that
damage roll; results of 10 do not generate bonus dice in
this re-roll. The mystic may not use this ability on himself.
Increase the cost of each model in the army by 2GC.
When building a Scarlet Watch army, the player may purchase one,
and only one, of the following types of special training. The cost
of each model in the army increases by the amount specified in
the trainings description. If playing a campaign, each new recruit
enlisted between battles must also pay for the chosen training.
Reform at the end of the Recovery Phase, each model

in the army that is not in melee may move up to 1 in any
direction. At no point during this action may the model come
into base contact with an enemy model(s). Increase the cost
of each model in the army by 1GC.
Terror at the start of each turn, before the Command

Phase begins, the player may choose one of his models for
each full 100 GC of his current army. Until the end of the

DARK GUARD (0 1)
commander 55GC
Level/Experience: 8/75
Special abilities:
Battle Wizard a mystic with this ability may, after
resolving a combat in which he killed an enemy or brought him

into the dying state, but only if he is no longer in contact with any
enemies, cast a spell instead of using VaeVictis!
Fearless the model is immune to fear.

Obscure Path the mage may learn two spells chosen from
the list available to Armies of Darkness in addition to the spells
normally available to his army.
Only the most knowledgeable of mages, ones that have never

wavered before the enemy, fighting shoulder to shoulder with other
templars from the front, may be introduced to the inner circle of the
Dark Guard. The sorcerer wishing to command brothers bearing the
mark of the betrayer must possess immense presence and courage
to lead them into battle. Not unlike anything connected with the
Scarlet Watch, being placed in charge of its unit is not cause for
celebration. As it often happens, order command assigns certain
politically inconvenient mages to the Guard, sending them away to
the borderlands to fend off barbarians... In spite of this ostracism,
they enjoy enough trust to be allowed access to necromantic tomes,
a fact which reflects in the spells they cast.
Weapons and equipment:

A Dark Guard is equipped with a Scythe of the Damned (see
Scarlet Watch armory); its cost is included in the models
base cost.
A Dark Guard may purchase any spells from the lists available to
him. He begins the game without any spells.
One-handed weapon 3GC
ravn skaller (0 1)
Specialist trooper 47GC
Special abilities:
murder of crows enemy models that are or have been
in contact with the model this turn suffer a penalty/1 to ATT and
DEF until the end of the turn. Additionally, upon deploying
this model, place one Crow Token (small base) within 4 of

it; it can be placed outside the deployment zone. The token is
automatically activated any time this model is activated. It can
move independently up to 6, ignoring all terrain modifiers,
scenery pieces, and models, and does not affect LoS. It cannot
end its move in impassable terrain, however. The token does not
count as a model, does not occupy any space, and cannot be the
target of any effects that affect models. Enemy models in base
contact with the raven token suffer a penalty/1 to ATT and DEF
as long as they remain in contact with it. Penalties for being in
contact with a raven token and its Ravn Skaller do not stack.
Remove the crow token the moment its master enters the dying
state or is removed from the table.
From time immemorial, ravens have been employed to convey

information between strongholds. In Raven Keep, the northernmost
fortress of the order, they were prized so highly that a special group
of templars was nominated to care for and train these clever birds.
To receive this assignment was considered great honor among
brothers. When the treachery came to light, it was they who sent
out ravens to other keeps with the news. If it were not for them, the
fate of Isbran would have been sealed.

A Ravn Skaller is equipped with a one-handed weapon; its cost is
included in the models base cost.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Raven Keep, YsilGuards who

partook in it were incorporated into the Scarlet Watch. Their
duties remain unchanged they are to slay any templar to fall to
darkness. In the Scarlet Watch, they are outcasts among outcasts.
Nobody ever questions their loyalty and devotion, but their sole
existence reminds all of the darkest page in the history of the order.

A Nifl Guard is equipped with a two-handed weapon; its cost is
Nifl Guards roam the battlefield like angels of death. Their

humongous axes extinguish the life of both enemies and former
comrades to have succumbed to their own weakness. Death by their
hand is never honorable, but their presence in battle guarantees
that no templar shall ever again rise against his brothers.

scout (0 2)
specialist trooper 43GC
Level/Experience:6/45
Special abilities:
Scout the model can be deployed at any point on the table
that is outside the opponents deployment zone and no closer
than his mov in inches from any enemy model or mission
objective (only if he is deployed outside his deployment zone).
Pathfinder the model ignores all penalties for moving
through difficult terrain.

A Scout is equipped with a one-handed weapon; its cost is
Scouts are eyes and ears of the order at large, not merely the Scarlet
Watch. Despite tremendous courage and loyalty, they are not fullfledged templars. Those who accept the duties of a scout know well
that they shall never be granted any of the orders privileges and no
songs shall be sung of their heroic deaths. They live in the shadows,
wandering the paths unobserved, tracking army movements, even
capturing and interrogating enemy commanders. The order never
inquires into their methods the scouts are to simply inform of any
threats. As long as the stream of information flows uninterrupted,
the order turns a deaf ear to hearsay. It is little surprise that this
reputation has found the scouts a home among the Scarlet Watch.

crimson champion (0 3)
trooper 40GC
Special abilities:
Iron Discipline each model with this ability still in play
adds +1 to the owning players Command Test result during the

Command Phase.
As a templar climbs the orders hierarchy, he is gradually removed from

active duty. This hardly means he loses any of his combat prowess.
By living in the order, he continues to hone it, awaiting the call to
march out when another battle threatening to shake the foundations
of Isbran approaches. All the same, life within the confines of the
fortress walls, far from vacant roads, chance encounters, hardships,
and night watches proves torturous for many a brother. They then
give up due privileges along with their ceremonial armor and break
their swords in two, thus renouncing all their high rank had to offer.
In its place, they choose glorious death found in a clash against the
tribe of Mork in some dim, lonely wood.

A Crimson Guard is equipped with a one-handed weapon
(see Scarlet Watch armory); its cost is included in the models
base cost.
Two-handed weapon 4GC
Fallen (1-5)
trooper 34GC
Special abilities:
Frenzy at the beginning of his activation and until the end
of the turn, the model can ignore all penalties due to flesh and
serious wounds and being dazed. At the end of the following
resolution phase, the model loses 2 HP. If this brings the models
HP to 0 or lower, he immediately rolls on the red damage table.
The history of the Fallen originates with the Battle of Raven Keep,
when part of the templar force defected to the undead. At that
moment, their impeccable image was forever marred by a deep,
black crack. Unsurprisingly enough, this crack only served to
reinforce the monolith that the order was. The templars realized
that they too were susceptible to corruption, that they were no
better than other Isbranian nations. Understandably, the history
of the crack is a closely guarded secret... These days, the Fallen
formation is made up of templars in whom mages have sensed
doubt or who have retreated in face of the enemy. In other words,
any who have lost honor in the eyes of the Master. Now, they form
the heart of the Scarlet Watch.
They are assigned to most forlorn conflicts, to the darkest corners
of Isbran. Their honor might have been sullied in the eyes of the
order, but they remain brothers nonetheless, still willing to give up
their lives for their comrades, but above all, they are determined
to live in order to prove their worth, to prove that they are still
trustworthy defenders of Isbran.

The Fallen is equipped with a Blade of the Fallen (see Scarlet
Watch armory); its cost is included in the models base cost.
Blade of the Fallen 5GC

the scarlet watch armory

Blade of the Fallen a most unusual sword, its blade had been forged from armor and weapons of templars who perished
in battle. It is to remind its wielder how the end of their service should be. Due to the unique nature of the weapon, it may be used
either as a one-handed weapon, in this case the model may use two such weapons at once, or a two-handed weapon. Templars have
utmost respect towards these swords and may never throw them. Every time the owning player puts together attack and damage dice
pools, he chooses whether the Blade of the Fallen is considered a one or two-handed weapon.
Scythe of the Damned a symbol of authority the mages wield over the Scarlet Watch. By no means a hollow badge, the
scythe makes for a powerful weapon in the hands of a mage. A Scythe of the Damned is a two-handed weapon. Before rolling on the
damage table against the enemy, the wielder may sacrifice 1 HP (and only one) to add +1 to the final result.
Throwing Axe a ranged weapon designed to be thrown over a short distance. It cannot be used in close combat. A model
outfitted with a throwing axe has in fact 3 of them; it nevertheless counts as a single weapon for the purposes of determining the
carrying capacity. In campaign play, assume the model recovers all of the thrown axes, but only if he survives the battle.

the howling horde

Torches hazed by the fog and inhuman wailing mingled with
nocturnal winds herald the coming slaughter... Nights in
horde territory are seldom calm. Living on the fringes of the
tribe of Mork, the Howling Horde is determined to prove its
might in others eyes night and day. It stands to reason that
without the aid of terrible demons, beasts begotten in darkest
pits, such a horde should have quickly been obliterated in the
merciless world of the tribe. And yet the Howling Horde not
only endured but became a symbol of the power that slumbers
in barbarians, gifted by demons, while beyond the tribe, it
has come to symbolize how quickly a man living in the dark
can lose his grip on humanity. Warriors of the horde strike
into their victims terror far greater than many a fiend. Tales
by miraculous survivors paint a picture of true horror. When
facing against the Horde, it is far better to die than be captured
alive lest death come most late...
The Mork tribe is split up into hordes which are as eager to fight
other Isbranian nations as they are one another. Luckily for the
civilized folk, the lust for blood exhibited by the barbarians is so
vast they are incapable of rallying under the banner of a single
leader... At least until one of the hordes conquers the rest... The
Howling Hordes hunting grounds stretch alongside the base of
the mountains, where roads guarded by templars of the Order
of the Ram run. Due to how frequently these paths are traveled
as well as the orcs tenacity, skirmishes are a common sight and
no night goes on without an attempt at a fortress.
The heads of the Howling Horde believe it shall be they who
ultimately bear the task of uniting the tribe. Through constant
battles against a bitter foe seeking their destruction, the horde
grows steadily in power. Harsh climate and woods forever steeped
in the dark make procuring food exceptionally difficult. All these
factors considered, it comes off as no surprise that every raid by
the Horde ends with wanton carnage. Thus, each battle taken
may decide the triumph or downfall of the entire Horde.
Army composition
A Howling Horde party must always include exactly 1 commander.
A Howling Horde may include up to 5 specialist troopers.
The total number of models in a Howling Horde party may not exceed 14.

Bone warriors of the Howling Horde know how to siphon
Aura some of the warriors of the Howling Horde have been

bestowed with demonic powers. These manifest in a variety of
ways, depending on the demon aiding the warrior as well as the
warrior himself. A warrior may be gifted with only one aura. A
model benefits from only the first aura that affects him in a given
turn; ignore the effects of subsequent auras this turn. If the model
has an aura of his own and comes under the effects of another
models aura, he may not benefit from his own aura this turn. If
an aura affects friendly models, the user counts as such as well.
An auras effect lasts until the end of the turn in which it was used.
Poison some warriors have access to poisons. Declare the
out energy from bodies of slain enemies, and then imbue with
it weapons, granting them uncanny qualities. Weapons with the
bone keyword in their description may be enhanced with one
bone that the weapons owner has in his possession.

Unlike other forces, none of the Mork hordes are led by accomplished
commanders. The honor of being placed in charge of other warriors
invariably falls on the most cruel, husky, and cunning of the kin.
It takes a man of extraordinary presence to lead a ragtag bunch of
blood-crazed barbarians, hardly a person with whom any from the
more civilized parts of Isbran would acquaint. Horde warchiefs are
commonly out-and-out lunatics ignorant of fear of death and who
have long forgotten the meaning of humanity. When battle unfolds,
they stand in the front line, breaking enemy ranks in the opening
charge and rushing headlong within. Following the tenets of the
Howling Horde, a chief is not there to give orders but merely lead by
example, inspiring his men to insane deeds. Uncaring of own wellbeing, a warchief often fights alone in the very heart of the enemy.
When the dust settles, he stands atop a mound of corpses, bloodied,
or lies dead himself. To live by the sword, first die by the sword...

persecutor (02)
Special abilities:
Dodge once per game, the model can force one enemy
model to re-roll all successes achieved in a close combat damage

test against this model.
Fast whenever the model charges, he adds 1 to his base mov.
The persecutors are some of the most fearsome warriors the Howling
Horde boasts. Their task is to tie down the enemy long enough for
their comrades to circle around and wipe out the opposition in a
pincer attack. Warrior-women specialized in this type of warfare
are commonly held to be among the best swordsmen in Isbran... In
battle, they move in graceful motions and unpredictable patterns,
pushing their foes into a frantic series of feints and dodges. A
persecutor seldom means to swiftly dispatch her prey, she would
rather take her time with them. Deal a couple of blows, spring
back, and rush in again. They go as far as to eschew killing blows
altogether. They instead revel in wounding the opponent repeatedly
and watching his strength ooze out of his body along with his blood.
In their eyes, a proper battle ends with their foe crumpling to the
ground in exhaustion, giving his final breath in a pool of his own
gore. The persecutors are like wild beasts tirelessly biting away at the
prey, patiently hounding them while avoiding decisive confrontation.
The persecutors are most fond of short, curved swords coated
with poison. An exception in the tribe, they fight with their heads
covered. They have a sickening habit of sowing together hides taken
off heads of predators living in the marshlands, and wearing them
as protection. The sight of a pair of empty sockets leering at the
foe makes many of them queasy, upsetting their battle focus and
leaving them vulnerable to the persecutors vicious appetites.
Fencer after his opponent has chosen the Combat Style for
the turn, the model may roll a D10. If he scores 6 or more, he
may force his opponent to choose a different Combat Style.

is no pity in her heart, only contempt for the weak, who quickly
fall down once they find themselves within reach of her weapon.
The Mistress of the Hunt is capable of sowing fear even in

the hearts of the stalwart templars of the Order of the Ram.
Warriors of the Howling Horde always follow in her wake, for
death walks with her. Unlike her kinsmen, she never throws
herself headlong into the fray, but instead scours the battlefield
in search of opponents worthy of her skill. She ceased to keep
tally of her victims, for she had lost count long ago. The scent
of blood hardly drives her into frenzy anymore the Mistress
of the Hunt has devoted her existence solely to duels to the
death. Amidst the cries of the dying and the clangor of arms,
only a fatal blow dealt to a great warrior can send her into
ecstasy. Mere moments later, however, even before the body hits
the ground, she has already set her sights on another prey. She
appears to disregard the battle around, instinctively deflecting
strikes by lesser foes only to take their lives with the ease of
taking a breath. To look for finesse in her movements is folly, yet
all are frightfully efficient.
The Mistress of the Hunt has no formal power in the tribe.

Nevertheless, whenever she emerges from the dim caverns with
a mighty axe in hand and a helmet adorned with splendid horns
on her head, it heralds the coming mayhem. Many warriors of the
Howling Horde promptly follow closely behind, even the chieftains...
The Mistress of the Hunt is like a ghost. Draped in a snow -white
fur of a mountain panther, she emerges from the dark of the night,
her garb enthrallingly glistening in the light of the moon, frozen
snow crunching under her boots. For the briefest moment, it is
the only audible sound, followed by a mass of barbarians surging
forth. Madness dances in their eyes when they throw themselves
at the enemy, yelling like men possessed. The snow turns red as
the desperate orders uttered by the defenders are drown out by
the clatter of arms and the groans of the mortally wounded. The
Mistress of the Hunt, like a grim reaper embodied, joins the fight,
and empowered by vile magic, spreads wanton murder. When the
battle winds down, she can be seen standing calm as though it
never happened, drenched in blood from head to toe...
Upon spotting a new victim, she utters a piercing shriek. Even

her compatriots overtaken by battle rage move aside; none dare
to assault the nominated warrior. She would slay any to stand
in her way without a moments hesitation, friend or foe. There

hlle huntress (0-2)

Special abilities:
Camouflage shooting tests against the model are made

Hlle Huntresses belong to no one Mork horde. They can move freely
between territories and are welcome in all. One does not choose
to be a Huntress, one becomes a Huntress. The tribe cares little for
those who perish in battle. Dead bodies are left where they fell and
nobody thinks of giving them proper burial. What does not rot away
is torn apart by scavengers... The life of a Huntress begins at the
gates of death, when her body is dying on a desolate battlefield...
If she has enough resolve in her, if her thirst for carnage is fierce
enough to allow her to survive until the grievous wounds mend, the
tribe gains one of the finest assassins in all Isbran. Once the Huntress
is risen, death having relinquished its icy grip so she could convey
more souls to it, she has still to fashion a weapon befitting her new
self. From bone, muscle and sinew found about the battlescape she
molds a scythe, a symbol of her status. Hearsay goes that each day,
the scythe demands a taste of fresh blood, otherwise it shrivels up
and Hlle herself arrives to claim back the Huntresss soul.

To survive in the tribe, the women have to be as brutal as the men.

Their lack of physical prowess is more than made up for with their
litheness of body and sharpness of wit. Many an expedition whose
route took it across the moors of the Dark Forest never reached its
destination. They often vanish without a trace, although on rare
occasion a member would manage to make it back. Each time, they
would rave gibberish and quake at the sight of their own shadow...

A Tribal Warrior is equipped with a one-handed weapon; its cost
In the tribe of Mork, those able to lift a weapon have little choice
but to learn how to wield it. Those who cannot do so, and thus fight
for their rights, perish. The entire tribe lives in a state of permanent
strife both within and without, making even regular grunts a
daunting challenge to overcome. Tribal warriors are always ready
to fight, and ever eager. Despite the number of battles they each
have under their belt, to look in them for discipline displayed by
other armies is futile. In combat, they depend on their strength
and ferocity, regarding deaths of their friends and foes with equal
indifference. When they sink into battle frenzy, they no longer
pay heed to danger, lashing out against any within reach, seeking
nothing but personal glory. The more enemies they strike down, the
higher they rise in the ranks of the tribe.

Javelin a javelin may be used both as a close combat weapon and a ranged weapon. In close combat, it is considered a spear

Black Rage declare the use of this aura at the start of the Combat Phase. All friendly models within 4 of the user increase their
ATT by +1 until the end of the current Combat Phase. Each model within the auras area of effect, even if he does not currently benefit
from its effects, must roll a D10 at the start of the next Resolution Phase. If the die rolls a 6 or more, the model loses 1 HP, if possible.
This HP loss may not be prevented by any means and does not trigger a roll on the Damage Table.
Dark Awakening declare the use of this aura upon activating its owner. All friendly models within 6 of the user at the time of
its activation ignore Dazed and Flesh Wound effects they are suffering from.
Primal Fear this aura may be used by its owner only once per battle. Declare its use at the beginning of the turn, before any
models are activated. Enemy models within 8 of the user must pass a fear test against difficulty 5 + brv of the models taking the test.
If the test is failed, the model is subject to rules for fear.
Example: A model with a brv score of 4 makes a fear test with a difficulty level 9 (Fear/9).
Surts Fury declare the use of this aura at the start of the Combat Phase. All friendly models within 6 of the user increase their
str by +1 until the end of the current Combat Phase. Each model within the auras area of effect, even if not benefitting from its effects,

the user recovers 2 HP.
Bone of Ice The damage roll caused by this weapon gains the following special effect: any model that loses at least 1 HP by this
weapon must make an opposed brv test against the wielder. If the test is failed, the targets damage dice pool is immediately reduced to

the alliance of the bat

The Alliance gave both nations a ray of hope... In the case of
dwarves, for their legacy to live on, and the wulfkin their
entire race. The struggle is far from over, however... And the one
raging upon the surface pales in comparison with the dangers
lurking deep beneath the mountains.
The Alliance of the Bat is one of the most unusual coalitions in

Isbran, made up of the ancient race of dwarves and the relatively
young race of the Wuflkin, brought close by the harshness of
mountain living. Barbarians, templars and undead alike had
always considered the highlands a mere field to wage their wars,
and none paid any mind to those to whom it was home. The
somewhat few in number dwarves and wulfkin were merely a
speck on the map for generals planning out their campaigns. But
with the establishing of the Alliance, the balance of power shifted
overnight, much to the surprise and chagrin of the other nations.
The Wulfkin have been slowly assimilating dwarven customs

and secrets and shed their primitive and savage nature ruled
by instinct long ago. Ever more packs are settling down in
depopulated dwarven forts. Over the years that have passed
since the forging of the Alliance, the bonds between the two
races have grown exceptionally tight.
Ambushes had been laid for the marching armies in valleys and
ravines. Hand in hand, dwarves and wulfkin harried trespassers
to their lands. The reasons for the intrusions mattered little
templars of the Order of the Ram were treated no better than
Mork barbarians. All without exception were greeted by the
proud warriors of the Alliance of the Bat willing to spill blood
in defense of their homes.
Wulfkin packs have always been fierce in defending their

territories... Lately, it has been ever more common for them
to think of the mountains as their homeland, which means the
dwarven strongholds will soon disgorge an army desirous of
more than self-defense...
It has been a long time since fire burned so strong in the
furnaces, and the clangor of hammers rang without pause. A
war approaches, the first to be declared by the Alliance. None
who stand in their way should feel safe. Not even Death herself.
The up-till-then unknown combination of wulfkin might

and cunning with the tactical acumen of dwarves yielded the
Alliance a string of victories. Their enemies soon learned the
extent of the change that had occurred and now think twice
before attempting to cross the mountains.
Army composition
An Alliance of the Bat party must always include exactly 1 commander.
An Alliance of the Bat party may include up to 4 specialist troopers.
The total number of models in an Alliance of the Bat party may not exceed 12.
Special training
player may declare the use of a special mix of Dragon Dust.

The str of all ranged weapons that follow the rules for
Dragon Dust used by the warriors of this Fortress increases
by 1 until the end of the turn. This ability may be used only
once per game. An army hailing from the Fortress of Dragon
Fire may not include Silver Furies. Increase the cost of each
model in the army by 3GC.
Life in the Alliance of the Bat centers around Fortresses. When

building an Alliance of the Bat army, the player may choose to have
it hail from a notable Fortress. If so, he must follow all the rules
listed for the given Fortress. In campaign play, each new recruit
enlisted between battles must also pay for the chosen Fortress.
Fortress of Dawn after deploying the final model the
player controls, he may immediately move each of his models up
to half their respective base mov. This may not take the model
into base contact with an enemy model. Increase the cost of each
model in the army by 2GC.
Fortress of the Final Trial the maximum number of

WolfkinArmsmasters that can be fielded in the army is increased
by 1. An army hailing from the Fortress of the Final Trial may
not include Siege Masters. Increase the cost of each model in the
army by 1GC.

Dwarves value their lives above all, and thus will never elevate an
incompetent to the rank of commander. In time of both peace and
war, a Lord has to prove he can adequately care for his subjects
and be a paragon to which they could look up. The title of Lord is
inheritable; to attain it, a dwarf has to first demonstrate valor and
sagacity, and even then the title is not lifelong. If a Lord is unable
to rise up to challenges tossed his way, he would rather give up his
position than endanger fellow dwarves.
A Lord is invariably a veteran of many battles. The sole fact that
he is still breathing is a testament to his fighting skills, and he no
longer feels compelled to prove himself and commit further deeds
worthy of legends. Along with the blood he spills and friends he
loses, the thirst for glory gradually dies out within him.

Special abilities:

Tough as Nails all rolls on white and yellow damage tables

When taking to battle, a Lord concerns himself most with keeping

his companions alive. A Lords badge of office is a musket, and
he seldom rides to war without it. No longer having to prove his
worth, he prefers to command his forces from the back. Whenever
one of his warriors finds himself in deadly danger, a thunderous
cry echoes throughout the peaks, heralding the imminent death of
the one with the audacity to threaten a dwarf.
Once the battle is concluded, back in stone halls, over cups of wine,
the Lords frequently tell stories of the accuracy of their weapons. It
is one of the few joys in their lives, as each bears the terrible burden
of ruin that befell their race by the hands of their dreadful foes...

obsidian duellist (0-1)

commander 56GC
Special abilities:
Army of Blades as long as this model is in play, no
friendly model may attack with ranged weapons.
For generations, a small group of wulfkin had been developing

a unique combat style. The first step on their new path of life is
to abandon their pack and set out into the mountains to live a
recluse, searching for a master. For many years they wander across
Isbran, learning the martial ways of other nations. Their entire
existence centers around one goal to perfect their fighting skills.
Such a single-minded devotion combined with the physical might
characteristic of their race fashions them into nigh-unstoppable
killers. There is hardly any in the entire world who has never heard
of the obsidian duelists.
Their name stems from the obsidian charms that protect them
from magic. As different as they are, they all share the same
amulet. It remains a mystery whence these come and how it is
that each and every duelist, loners all, often incognizant of each
other, possesses one.
Eventually, there comes a time when no more worthy opponents
remain in the land, and thus the obsidian duelist sets off once
more, until he meets his end by the sword of a better warrior or
decides to return to his pack.
The obsidian duelists do not consider themselves members of the
Alliance, but their thirst for combat sometimes impels them to
take on the role of commander. Their followers are prohibited from
using ranged weaponry, which they view as disgraceful, wielded by
cowards. This unflinching belief regularly leads to squabbles with
the dwarves, but due to the extraordinary martial prowess and the
respect the duelists command in the other wulfkin, the dwarves
have little choice but to grit their teeth and bear it.
Obsidian Charm each time the model is the target of
a successfully cast spell (by friend or foe), roll a D10. On 7+,

they may automatically break away from it before making the
move. This extra move may not take any of the models into base
contact with an enemy model(s).

Fang of Winter 4GC
Armsmasters form the elite corps of the Alliance of the Bat.

A Wulfkin seeking to claim this distinguished title has to first
tame his predatory instincts, which is no small feat. Over the
course of arduous training and duels, he learns to execute
finesse attack, confound the foe with feints, and deflect his
strikes such as to create the opportunity to deal a decisive blow.
The aim is for him to become an expert in a manner of combat
that eschews brute power for lightness of foot.
days of yore. A true Armsmaster slits a throat and conceives a

war campaign with equal ease.
The cast eat large shun heavy armor. They insist that if they
can attack quicker and truer than the opponent, armor is but a
hindrance. This philosophy reflects in their fighting style, which
is a veritable feast for the eyes a mesmerizing whirlwind of
death and destruction. They are commonly equipped with a
light sword and a long, curved dagger, making them lethal at
both long and short distances.
By virtue of the role they serve in the Alliance, their Lord is

directly responsible for their weapons and equipment. The
number of Armsmasters under a dwarf is at once a symbol of
his wealth and a sign of the respect he commands.
Gifted by impressive physique, the wulfkin make for excellent

bodyguards of dwarven Lords. Their reflexes, devotion, and
combat prowess combine to turn the Lords immediate vicinity
into a dead zone, mowing down enemies as though they were
wheat. In a truly desperate hour, an Armsmaster never hesitates
to lay down his life for his employers.
Tradition demands for each Armsmaster entering into service

to be gifted with a weapon forged from an exceptionally rare
alloy called dragon steel. Dwarven blacksmiths keep the process
of casting it a close secret. One thing is certain - a blade made
of this steel has yet to shatter or crack from the force of the blow.
No weapon in Isbran is more valuable than one fashioned from
dragon steel.
Wulfkin armsmasters devote their entire lives to perfecting

one-on-one combat, in which many say they are undefeated. To
think it their only quality would be a grave mistake, however.
Following the daily dose of weapon practice, they can be found
pouring over books telling of wars that raged over Isbran in the

Special abilities:

After resolving the strike, remove the model from the table as
though he was incapacitated.
According to wulfkin tradition, a cubs future is determined by the

moon under which it is born. Wulfkin females born during a twilight
are unique in all respects. The lack of moonlight gives their white fur
a silvery sheen that never dulls. Brought to this world in total dark,
they can discern what to their brothers and sisters remains unseen,
extraordinary magic patterns that they learn to control as years go by.
The spells Silver Furies employ are utterly unlike balls of flame
or lightning blasts favored by mages of other races. Their magic
revolves around clouding the senses through phantasms showing
that which does not exist in order to conceal their true actions. The
less overt the effects, the better a fog settling down a vale as night
falls down can be much more devastating than a thunder strike.
Enveloped in it, the wulfkin can slip by unnoticed right under the
noses of unsuspecting sentries. And when they surge out in the
middle of the enemy camp, there is little time to react...
The wulfkin regard the Furies with a mixture of wariness and
admiration, and their judgment is always valued as much as
the pack leaders. In time of peace, they perform the function of
mediators between quarrelling packs and see that leaders stay true
to their promises. When a pack falls under attack, however, they go
to battle alongside the warriors, and their enemies soon learn the
full meaning of the word fury...

Sheltered from the outside world, the dwarves had little time to
unravel the mysteries hidden deep within the mountains. They
continued to carve the tunnels, and each led to a new secret. Riches
were for the taking, and all they had to do was reach out.
The dwarves soon learned to work precious stones, for which they
are famous even to this day. They also discovered rare minerals
that, when finely ground and mixed in the right proportions,
turned into an extremely deadly substance that exploded upon
contact with fire the Dragon Dust. Its manufacturing process is
as closely guarded as Dragon Steels.
In the past, Dragon Dust was primarily employed for expedient
rock-crushing when digging mine shafts and erecting citadels.
Traditionally handled by builders, it was an instrument as precise
in their hands as a chisel in a sculptors.
As time went on, Dragon Dust found ever more applications. It
turned out especially valuable for the war effort. Thanks to it, the
dwarves managed to develop firearms, whose range of fire exceeded
that of bows and crossbows employed by other nations.
When marching to war, dwarves strive to fight in such a terrain as
to allow them to negate superior mobility likely boasted by enemy
forces. Given this tactic is not always viable, dwarven armies
routinely incorporate the Siege Masters corps.
The Siege Masters are familiar with all the secrets of the Dragon
Dust. Prior to battle, they usually blow up key roads to create
difficult terrain, in which the victory is no longer decided by speed
of movement but resolve and endurance of the combatants and
in this respect, few can match the dwarves.
Special abilities:

Blasted Earth template may be placed anywhere on the table as long

base. Area underneath the Blasted Earth template is considered
difficult terrain. A Blasted Earth template remains on the table
until the end of the game. Template size: 4 diameter.

Shield 3GC
Warriors of the Iron Guard stride to war clad in thick armor.

Depending on the battle role they are assigned, their weaponry
varies greatly. If their objective is to hold a position, they hide
behind massive shields fully their height. If ordered to break
the enemy lines, however, they come grasping hefty two-handed
weapons ideally suited for smashing through enemy ranks.
The Iron Guard is the most illustrious of all dwarf formations,

and every dwarven child dreams of joining its ranks someday.
Members of the Iron Guard are tasked with defending the
fortresses as well as the mines. They are the last line of defense,
a line that has yet to be broken or suffer defeat.
The Iron Guard took part in every war ever recorded in the
long history of the dwarven race. Their quarters abound with
war trophies, and on each wall there hang banners recounting
their many victories. Yet even the Iron Guard were powerless
to save their kin from destruction. During the never-ending
struggle against the creatures of the dark, they were lured into
an ambush they delved deeper and deeper down the tunnels
in hope of putting an end to the war with one decisive strike.
Much to their bafflement, the enemy was nowhere to be found...
Upon returning to the keeps, they found them in shambles. Such
was the end of the Iron Guards ill-fated excursion. They have
not stepped into the tunnels ever since, instead focusing all
their efforts on protecting the last remnants of their once-proud
civilization, the one they had vowed to keep safe.
Combat in the heavy armor they wear, regardless of the arm

they wield, requires tremendous brawn and skill. For this
reason, only the strongest of dwarves are invited into the Iron
Guard. They then have to make it through long and harrowing
training. An enormous brass bell hangs by the entrance to the
proving grounds, and each of its toils signifies another dwarf
that failed to live up to the challenge presented by the Iron
Guard and gave up the training. This sole fact tells plenty of the
requirements imposed by the Guard, for dwarves are renowned
for their tenacity and seldom forsake the aims they set for
themselves.

Special abilities:

A Wulfkin Warrior is equipped with a one-handed weapon; its
similar predicament, they decided to join forces. In exchange

for shelter in fortresses carved into mountain rock, the wulfkin
began laborious studies under the tutelage of dwarven masters,
intended to enable them to preserve the legacy of the dying race.
The wulfkin are the youngest race in Isbran. By the time they
came about, most of the lands had already been claimed by
others, leaving them but hostile mountains blasted relentlessly
by biting winds. In these harshest of conditions, life is a neverending struggle to survive, and none other could have made
it for so long in this icy realm. Wulfkin had to learn to live in
small nomadic packs, for a larger group makes it impossible to
procure enough food to sustain all its members. Unfortunately,
these smaller bands had not enough strength to conquer more
hospitable territories to settle down; they were driven out
wherever they went. Over the course of many a cold winter,
countless packs vanished without a trace. Thus the race,
though young, has always teetered on the edge of extinction.
The wulfkins fate finally turned around with the alliance they
forged with the dwarves.
What brought them together was a common goal the fight for
survival. Accustomed to long travels and life under the open sky,
the wulfkin were reluctant pupils at first... But an exceptionally
drawn out winter, during which the Alliance of the Bat was
formed, left them little choice. As years went by, the races slowly
came to respect one another. The wulfkin acknowledged that
the lessons given to them by dwarves could one day save them
from destruction and that the dwarven strongholds are the only
friendly places that can offer them safety from deadly winter.
There is constant friction within the Alliance, but whenever an
outside threat emerges, it is the wulfkin warriors who first take
up arms to protect the interests of this singular union.
Facing the imminent doom of their race, the dwarves made a

desperate attempt to save their legacy. Seeing the wulfkin in a

Before becoming a full-fledged citizen, a young dwarf has to serve
thirty years travelling merchant roads, supplying the keeps with
provisions. Not until after his service is ended may he pick up
another trade. This way every dwarf, even a healer, is proficient
with an axe and accustomed to the toils of mountain living. These
days many rangers, having completed their service, choose to
continue to tread the high roads, compelled by a sense of duty, for
the number of young ones is thinning and there is often nobody to
take over their post.
Life on the road coupled with the need to be ever-vigilant drives
the rangers straight for the tavern as soon as they enter a keep,
where they are wont to spend long hours sipping beer and weaving
fantastic tales. This makes for the only time when their hands are
not clutching the shafts of their axes. They exchange remarks and

army list
Dogs of War
is generally dispensed after the battle, they have little interest in
keeping the hired swords alive for any longer than that.
Every now and then, the opposing armies come to include
two mercenaries going by the same name. Many fresh-faced
mercenaries resort to this kind of trickery hoping to be mistaken
for a renowned warrior and thus negotiate higher pay. Usually,
the rightful owner of the name does his utmost to swiftly cut the
impostors life short.
Dogs of war, as mercenaries are commonly called, are perceived

by most peoples of Isbran as unsavory troublemakers. None
are fond of them, and few would dare to say it to their face. To
survive in a world fraught with danger, one has to possess a
particular set of skills in order to overcome the obstacles cruel
fate throws ones way either by brawn or by wit.
In trying times, commanders often reach deep into their pockets
to enlist the aid of one of the dogs of war. Given that payment
Dogs of war are recruited in accordance with the rules for standard warriors. In
addition, you must meet the following conditions:
You may recruit no more than a single mercenary in your army.
The mercenary you are wishing to recruit must be willing to work for your army, as per his description.
Campaign play introduces a number of extra rules:
Mercenaries do not gain exp.

Each time a mercenary rolls on the Lasting Injuries Table, assume the result is 96 100 "Divine providence".
If a mercenary participates in a battle, account for his Gold Cost and EXP when calculating the armys Renown.
A player wishing to keep a mercenary in his army, even if he is not deployed, must pay an upkeep cost of 5GC before each battle his
army fights. If the player fails to do so, the disgruntled mercenary leaves his army and wanders away.

return for saving the life of a dwarven lord. None can say how
much truth there is to it, for the tales of Gunnars exploits are
countless. He is rumored to have knocked cold a Ram templar
with bare fists, weathered baneful poisons of bog savages, or
single-handedly defeated ten opponents. Perhaps the majority
of these stories are fabrications, but the fact that Gunnar still
walks among the living and none of the caravans he guards
fail to reach their destination discourage any from challenging
their veracity in his presence.
Gunnar the Wanderer

cost: 39GC
Gunnar seldom speaks of his past. None can say whence he came
and for how long he had been roaming the mountain paths. He
is usually found on the road, guarding a caravan ferrying ore
from dwarven mines or barrels filled with dark beer. He is one
of the few humans who can boast of having friends among the
dwarves, for to win the trust of these tough mountainfolk is an
accomplishment in and of itself.
Gunnar is the opposite of whom one imagines a dog of war

to be. Honor and a given word mean to him more than coin,
and there are clients whom he would refuse to ever work for.
Then there those from whom he did not demand payment for
his services. Many would follow him to the gates of hell itself,
should he call them to. Perhaps there shall come a time he will
seek more, become a king... But for the time being, he is but a
lowly wanderer.
Yet Gunnars steadfast nature coupled with the willingness to

make true on his promises won him the respect of dwarven
holds. His two-handed axe is a testament to this, its blade
forged from the most precious dragon steel. It is often
recounted in taverns how he had been given the weapon in

Scathar the Traitoress

who failed to run fast enough.
cost: 47GC
She knew a blood hunt would be called after her. For three nights
straight she eluded her pursuers, leading them into a deadly trap,
right into the arms of Ram templars. Crouched in the swamp, she
looked on as her former sisters fought to the death against the
orcs. They stood no chance and were cut down all.
Scathar used to be a member of the Howling Horde. As a VeiBanshee, she stalked caravans and informed her superiors of
their whereabouts. She took part in many battles, watching her
fellow tribeswomen die... The Horde profited from her skills,
and yet she continued to be an outcast. She realized she could
never work her way up the tribes hierarchy, instead destined to
perish on a nameless battlefield. And she would have none of
it. The power she had over the merchants lives whenever she
crept about the shadows of trees, watching the sleeping camps,
kindled in her a desire for more. Rather than suffer humiliation
among her own kin, Scathar chose to walk her own path.
From that point on, she was truly free, free to walk all the many
realms of Isbran. She guides the caravans down routes known
only to her, every now and then leading them into the path of
Howling Horde hunting parties, savoring the sight of slaughter,
reminiscing of the good old times.
Scathars eyes light up only in the heat of battle; no riches
can satisfy her. During moonlit nights, she is apt to gaze at
the bloodied head of her spear, as though searching it for the
humanity she had lost long ago.
After all those years spent in the tribe, Scathar, although free,
struggles to find her place in the world, roving Isbran like the
wind, leaving a trail of blood in her wake...
To leave the Howling Horde is considered grave insult, and

any attempting it usually meet a quick and violent end. Their
maimed bodies rot away, dangling from trees in the bog, a
warning to the other members of the tribe... Scathar used to
hunt down traitors herself and visit torture on the poor wretches

scenarios
reconnaissance
Dawn was slowly approaching. Goerf stood motionless amidst the
shadows of trees. For a moment, he thought he had heard the noise
of a twig cracking, as though someone was sneaking up on him. His
unit would be here soon. He uttered a curse in his mind He could
hardly see in the half-light and had little time to make the call. The
sun would soon be up and the mists would lift.
Terrain: Players choice, however there should be no fewer

than 3 scenery pieces.
He turned around instinctively and avoided the axe by a hairs

breadth, which thudded into the thick trunk behind. A ferocious
cry broke the silence.
Victory conditions: The player who has the most

victory points after turn 6 wins. In case of a draw, the player
whose scout is still on the table wins. If both scouts are still on
the table, the game is a draw.
Scenario objective: Incapacitate the enemy scout and

protect your own.
Game duration: 4 turns.
Seconds after, beating of drums came to his ears, followed by the

sound of a templar horn. From all-around the sound of water
splashing beneath the warriors feet and the clatter of arms could
be heard.
Victory points: A player receives 1 victory point for

each full 50 army points of incapacitated enemy models. A player
also receives 2 victory points if his scout is still on the battlefield
after turn 4 ends. In addition, a player receives 2 victory points if
the enemy scout is killed before turn 4 ends.
The reconnaissance was over thought Goerf as he drew

the sword...
Special rules
No model may be deployed within no mans land, even if his special rules allow him to do so. The loser of the CMD test made during the
Deployment Phase nominates one of his models which is not a hero, commander or mystic that model becomes his scout. The player
then deploys that model anywhere on his half of the table, but no farther than 2 from the center line of the table and at least 5 from the
side edges of the table. His opponent then nominates and deploys one of his models in the same way.
During turn 1, models targeted by shooting attacks receive a bonus of +1 to DEF for the purposes of the shooting test.
Defend the Shrine

Scenario objective: Take control of the area around
the shrine.
After two days of forced march, the squad of templars

finally beheld their destination a humble shrine to
the sacred tree of Ysil located in the dead center of a
mountain pass. Unfortunately, as the scouts account had
it, the opposite end was swarming with barbarians bent
on desecrating the holy place. Varkof ordered the assault
without a moments hesitation. On the other side, a similar
order could be heard

victory points after turn 5 wins. Otherwise the game is a draw.
Victory points: At the end of each turn, the player who
has more models within 3 from the edge of the old shrine token
receives 1 victory point. If there are no enemy models within
that area, the player receives 3 victory points instead of 1 victory
point.

than 3 scenery pieces. In the center of the battlefield place an old
shrine token that will stand for the shrine; assume its height to
be 4. The old shrine is considered impassable terrain. Scenery
pieces may not be placed within 4 of the old shrine.
Special rules
No model deployed within the no mans land can be placed closer than 6 from any edge of the old shrine template.
Models on medium bases count as two models for the purposes of calculating the number of models controlling the area around the old
shrine, while models on large bases count as three.

Kill'em All!!
than 3 scenery pieces.
Scenario objective: Incapacitate as many enemy
models as possible.
CHAAAAAARGEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Victory conditions: After turn 4, the players total
up the army point values of their models still on the table. The
player with the highest total wins.
Claim the Artifact

The avalanche rolled down onto one of the old paths in the
foothills, revealing a long-forgotten shrine. The emissaries
of the Temple of Storms promptly recovered its history from
their vast libraries. Many a century ago, a magical weapon
was laid within
within 4 of the old shrine, or on top of a token representing the

stone key.
A group of barbarians were already there and their priest

was seemingly searching for something. There was no time
to waste. In silence, the valkyries began the charge.

victory points after turn 5 wins. Otherwise the game is a draw.
Scenario objective: Claim the magical weapon.

Victory points: For each fragment of the stone key

placed on the old shrine template, the player receives 1 victory
point. The player also receives 1 victory point after each turn
that ends with one of his models in possession of the magical
weapon. Additionally, at the end of turn 5, if the model carrying
the magical weapon is within his own deployment zone and is
not in base contact with an enemy model(s), his owning player
receives 3 victory points.

than 3 scenery pieces. In the center of the battlefield place an
old shrine template; assume its height to be 4. The players
then alternate placing 2 tokens each within the no mans land,
representing fragments of the stone key. The old shrine is
considered impassable terrain. Scenery pieces may not be placed
Special rules
No model deployed within the no mans land can be placed closer than 5 from any fragment of the stone key.
At the end of each turn, a model can pick up a fragment of the stone key he is in base contact with. From now on, the model is carrying
the fragment of the stone key. The model can drop the fragment at the start or end of his move. If the model is removed from the table,
place the fragment of the stone key where he stood. If the model enters the dying state, his owner places the fragment on the table
wherever he wishes, as long as it touches the models base. If the model is incapacitated or enters the dying state as a result of a close
combat, his opponent seizes his fragment. At the end of the turn, if the model is in base contact with the shrine template and is not in
contact with an enemy model(s), place his fragment on the shrine template.
If there are at least 3 fragments on the old shrine template, the player who has the most models in base to base contact with the old shrine
template assigns the magical weapon to one of those models at the start of the next turn. Once the magical weapon has been taken from
the old shrine, remove all the fragments of the stone key from play.
The model carrying the magical weapon can drop it at the start or end of his move; it can be then picked up following the rules for
fragments of the stone key. If the model is removed from the table, place the weapon where he stood. If the model enters the dying state,
his owner places the weapon on the table wherever he wishes, as long as it touches the models base. If the model is incapacitated or is in
dying state as a result of a close combat, his opponent seizes the weapon.
The model holding the magical weapon has +1 to ATT as long as he continues to carry it.
