If a Merchant Prince is included in your army, one Dogs of War unit (which is not a Regiment of Renown, character, monster or war machine) may increase its armour save by +1 or gain Armour Piercing (1). This costs 1 point per model for Infantry, and 2 points per model for other troop types. Alternatively, the unit may take a Magic Standard worth up to 50 points.

The Money Lender must be placed in base contact with the Paymaster, but may not otherwise be targeted separately from the unit. If a Paymaster is accompanied by a Money Lender, any unit using his Hold Your Ground! ability adds +1 to their Leadership, as the Money Lender promises more money and the troops cheer and return to the fray (hopefully).

The Paymaster may be accompanied by a Paychest guarded by two Paychest Bodyguards which increases his Unit Strength by 2. This can be represented by either modelling the Paymaster with the Paychest and guards on a single base, or as a separate model placed in base contact with the Paymaster at all times (it may be placed in the second rank of a unit if you wish). The Paychest increases the radius of the Paymaster's Hold Your Ground! special rule by 6".

If the Paymaster is killed, all friendly units gain the Hatred special rule against the enemy unit or model that killed the Paymaster due to their Paychest now being able to be looted.

You must include one (and only one) Paymaster in the army. The Paymaster follows all the rules for Battle Standard Bearers. If the Paymaster is slain, all friendly units within 12" (or 18" if he has a Paychest) of the paymaster suffer -1 to their Leadership for the remainder of the game.

Dwarfs have the Hatred (Orcs & Goblins, Skaven, Hobgoblins) special rule.

Units entirely composed of models with this special rule do not need to pass a Leadership test in order to march, regardless of the proximity of enemy units.

When taking Break tests, models with this special rule count as having lost the combat with 1 point fewer than they actually have.

Elven Bows follow the rules for Bows. Elven Longbows follow the rules for Longbows. All shots with these weapons have the Armour Piercing (1) special rule.

Models with this special rule have the Dodge (6+) special rule in close combat. However, this cannot be used against enemies that attack before the model with Elven Grace.

Ogre Pistols follow all the rules for normal pistols, but have a range of 24".

Each monstrous infantry model on foot with the Ogre Charge special rule that successfully charges an enemy has the Impact Hits (1) special rule. Models with this special rule that are part of a unit with ranks add their current Rank Bonus to the Strength of the Impact Hits they inflict.

A Pegasus with this upgrade re-roils failed To Wound rolls.

A Pegasus with the Swift as the Wind upgrade re-rolls any dice results of a 1 when determining its charge range.

Enemy units must roll an additional D6, discarding the lowest result, for Leadership tests caused by this beast's Terror special rule.

The Griffon gains the Armour Piercing (1) special rule.

The Griffon gains +1 to its Strength in the turns it charges.

A Pavise has the following armour profile:

*Only applies to missile attacks in the front arc.

The Paymaster must join this unit, and he may not leave it. As long as the Paymaster is alive, the unit is Stubborn.

When it is their turn to attack, roll a D6 for each model armed with nets. On a 2+, one enemy model in base contact is ensnared and suffers -1 Attack (both rider and mount) for the remainder of the close combat phase.

Whenever a unit of Norse makes a successful charge (including Pursuit and Overrun), the unit is subject to Frenzy in the following first round of close combat.

Enemies attacking models with this rule suffer -1 To Hit in close combat. This only applies to Infantry units.

Units with this special rule must roll a D6 and consult the chart below in the Charge sub-phase after all other charges have been declared, unless they have declared a charge, are already in combat, fleeing, or have less than 5 models.

Units with this special rule must roll a D6 and consult the chart below in the Charge sub-phase after all other charges have been declared, unless they have declared a charge, are already in combat, fleeing, or have less than 5 models.

A Scorpion uses the rules for Bolt Throwers with the following profile:

A unit of multiple Scorpions must deploy and stay within 1" from each other at all times. They should be treated as a single unit for all purposes, with the exception that each Scorpion may freely pivot on the spot to fire as a normal war machine. If a unit of Scorpions is charged, all crew will fight in close combat as if the enemy had charged multiple war machines at once. Casualties are always removed from one Scorpion at a time.

Each Maneater in the unit may pick one of the following special rules: Armour Piercing (1), Devastating Charge, Hatred, Killing Blow, Multiple Wounds (D3), Parry (6+), Poisoned Attacks, Strength Bonus (1)

The models in a unit of Maneaters are often armed with a variety of different weapons. If they are, your opponent must make it clear which model they want to allocate their attacks to. Any excess wounds are carried over to the rest of the unit as normal in an order chosen by your opponent.

A Ribault has the following profile:

To fire the Ribault, select a target according to the normal rules for shooting, then roll one artillery dice and one D6 to find out how many shots are fired. If a Misfire is rolled, roll, a D6 and consult the Black Powder Misfire Chart chart in the Warhammer rulebook.

If no Misfire is rolled, the number of shots fired is equal to the total on the dice. After determining how many shots are fired, roll To Hit the target with an equivalent number of dice, resolving any successful hits using the Ballistics skill of the crew.

The Hot Pot uses the following profile:

The Culverin fires like a Cannon using the following profile:

The Land Ship may still move and fire the cannon. It can fire grapeshot which is resolved at Strength 4. If the weapon is destroyed by a Misfire result, the Land Ship also immediately suffers D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour Saves.

When the Land Ship loses its last wound roll a D6. On a roll of a 1, it suffers the effects of the Abandon Ship! result on the Land Ship Calamity table and on a 6 the Boom! result. On any other roll, the Land Ship is removed as normal.

In any turn in which the Land Ship does not charge, it inflicts D6 Impact Hits at the start of each round of close combat.

The crew may move and fire with their handguns without suffering the additional -1 To Hit for mounted models.

The Land Ship, lacking anything like the control of a Steam Tank has two modes of movement: slow and full power. The player must declare which they are using before the Land Ship is moved each turn.

• Slow: The Land Ship may move up to 6" directly forward without penalty or risk, but may not charge.

• Full Power: The Land Ship follow the rules for Random Movement (3D6). However, if you roll two or more 1's when determining the Land Ships Random Movement, something has gone disastrously wrong. Roll immediately on the Land Ship Calamity Chart and apply the result.

If Borgio is reduced to zero wounds, roll a D6. On a 1-3, he is removed as a casualty as normal. On a 4+, he stands back up again with a single wound remaining. Note that this ability cannot be used against attacks that kill the model outright.

If Borgio is your General, you may take one more duplicate War Machine unit than normal at the points value played.

At the start of the battle, one character in your army may be given the Poisoned Attacks special rule due to the potency of the poison in her lipstick.

Although Lucrezzia is a Master Sorceress, she does not have magic items. Instead she has various Poisonous Items, reflecting her special skill as an arch poisoner. These items are not affected by anything that normally affects or negates magic items.

• Phial of Poison: Long before the battle, the enemy camp is infiltrated by Lucrezzia’s paid assassin, equipped with a phial of poison specially prepared by his mistress. This will be tipped into the drink or meal of one of the enemy leaders during the feasting on the eve of battle. The poison is slow-acting and will strike the next day as the armies draw up for battle.
  Nominate D3 enemy characters at the beginning of the battle. Roll a D6 for each; a roll of 4+ means that the character has been poisoned and starts the battle with one Wound less than normal, with no saves allowed. This has no effect against models with the Immunity (Poisoned Attacks) or Daemonic special rules.

• Poisoned Stiletto: Lucrezzia always keeps a stiletto dagger secreted in her garter. This is not only for self-defence, but because you never know when you might want to do an off-the-cuff assassination and may not have a ready prepared poison to hand. Of course, Lucrezzia's stiletto has been dipped in the venom of a toad and used to chop poisonous mushrooms.
  Additional hand weapon. The Stiletto dagger gives Lucrezzia the Poisoned Attacks special rule.

• Potion of Pavona: Lucrezzia will mix up potions to strengthen whoever drinks it, selecting the right ingredients. However, there is a risk, as the potion may prove slightly poisonous.
  At the beginning of the battle, Lucrezzia may give the potion to any friendly character or take it herself. Roll a D6; on roll 2+, choose that number of the chosen model's characteristics to improve by +1. For example, if you roll a 4 you could choose to improve the model's WS, T, W, and I by +1. You cannot apply this bonus to a model's Leadership and cannot increase a characteristic by more than one. If you roll a 1, the model loses a wound; if this kills the model then it counts as a casualty for all purposes.

Any friendly Human unit within 8" of Lucrezzia will Rally automatically during your Compulsory Movement phase, being ashamed to be seen running away from the enemy before such a beautiful and commanding lady.

Any Infantry unit joined by Lorenzo Lupo add +1 to their combat resolution bonus.

Roll a D6 at the start of the battle to determine which pursuit he has been following prior to joining the army.

Marco ignores the Move or Fire special rule with his crossbow.

Marco has the Sniper special rule. In addition, all enemy units within Line of Sight and 24" to Marco must reveal any Hidden models they might contain.

Any Hobgoblin unit within 6" of Ghazak may re-roll the initial D6 for Treachery or Hobgoblin Animosity tests. In addition, if Ghazak Khan is your army's General, units of Hobgoblin Wolf Riders count as Core Units.

Any unit that Ghazak Khan charges will not be able to Stand and Shoot or Flee as a Charge response. This does not affect units that have Immunity (Psychology).

Lietpold has a Ward Save (3+), but should he fail this save, then from Lietpold's next turn onward the magic is disrupted; the save no longer applies and Lietpold suffers a -1 penalty to his Toughness and Leadership characteristics.

Lietpold and any unit he has joined gain the Devastating Charge special rule.

Morgan Bernhardt must be accompanied by a unit of Stradiots armed with hand weapons, medium armour, shields and the Defiant Quirk of Character. The unit may include a standard bearer and musician, but not any other upgrades. He may never leave this unit during the game.

Leonardo is neither a general nor a wizard. He is a scientist, and his genius is illuminated by the light of reason and method, not superstition! Therefore, Leonardo does not have magic items. Instead he has Scientific Items, reflecting his expertise as an inventor and investigator. These items are not affected by anything that normally affects or negates magic items.

Sphere of Alchemy

Leonardo dabbles in alchemy and has mixed up a powder which he has enclosed in a bronze orb. When thrown, the orb cracks and the powder explodes on contact with the air, creating a small blast.

One use only. The Sphere have the following profile:

If Leonardo hits, use the small template to determine the blast area. If Leonardo misses his target, the orb is assumed to have exploded prematurely, fallen in the mud or bounced off someone's helmet and has no effect.

Prism of Power

Leonardo has a specially shaped glass prism which uses purely physical properties of refraction to diffuse any kind of energy flowing over the battlefield. The effect of this is to steal the winds of magic from the opposing side and dissipate the energy, just as if it were rays of light from the sun.

The Prism of Power may be used in any of your opponent's Magic phases after determining the Winds of Magic and channelling rolls for that turn. Roll a D6; on a 4+, Leonardo may remove 1 Power dice from the opponent's pool.

Compass of Meteoric Silver

Leonardo has a special compass with a direction arrow made from meteoric silver. This will point to the greatest concentration of magic on the battlefield.

At the start of the battle, your opponent must tell which of their units contains the highest number of magic items.

You may set Leonardo's formidable intellect to each of the following problems:

• Artillery Accuracy: Leonardo inspects one war machine in the army and observes some test shots. He then calculates angles and trajectories and makes corrections to the devices or advises on firing technique, quantity of gunpowder, torque tension and so forth, which increases the accuracy and reliability.
  As long as Leonardo is within 3" of one war machine, that war machine may re-roll one Artillery Dice, Scatter Dice, or To Hit roll per turn.

• Crossbow Accuracy: Leonardo inspects one unit of Crossbowmen as they shoot volleys at targets. He checks the tension of the bows and considers wind velocity and the weight of the crossbow bolts. He may advise certain subtle reshaping of the flights to improve accuracy, or recommend that the crossbowmen aim slightly to the left or right of their target, or just above their heads.
  As long as Leonardo is with a unit armed with crossbows, the unit may re-roll all failed rolls of 1 To Hit in the Shooting phase.

• Battle Strategy: Leonardo inspects the maps and charts and rides up to high ground to survey the lie of the land with his telescope. Then he discusses the options with the general and his captains in a council of war, explaining his calculations for rates of march and so on. This enables the general to outflank the opposing army.
  One Core unit in the army gains the Ambushers special rule.

Mydas the Mean must be accompanied by a unit of Paymaster’s Bodyguard, and he may not leave this unit.

Unlike normal chariots, the Pay Cart only inflicts Impact Hits (D3). The Paychest increases the radius of Mydas' Hold Your Ground! special rule by 6". The Pay Cart acts as a separate unit from Mydas and his bodyguards on the battlefield.

If Mydas is in your army, he will fill the role as Paymaster, and no other Paymaster may be included.

Sheikh Yadosh rides on the Pay Cart rather than being deployed next to Mydas. He otherwise follows the rules for regular Money Lenders, except that the Leadership modifier is increased to +D3 rather than +1.

Aenur always hits his opponents on a roll of 2+ in close combat.

If Johann rolls a natural 6 on his To Hit rolls, that attack will automatically Wound. Armour Saves are taken as normal.

Johan may use the Crimson Shade at the start of any of your turns. If he does so, he will gain +1 Movement, Strength, Initiative and Attacks for the duration of the turn.

Johann has the Multiple Shots (3) special rule, which is increased to Multiple Shots (6) if he has not moved earlier this turn.

Whenever a model with this special rule kills one or more enemy models in close combat, roll a D6 at the end of the Close Combat phase. On the roll of a 5+, the model recovers a single Wound lost earlier in the battle. This does not work against models with the Animated Construct, Daemonic, Forest Spirit or Vampiric special rules.

Due to her vocation as a Vampire Assassin turned Vampire Hunter, all models with the Vampiric special rule has the Hatred special rule again Marianna. In addition, Marianna counts as having the Poisoned Attacks special rule against models with the Vampiric special rule.

Models with the Vampiric special rule have the Fear and Immunity (Psychology) special rules. In addition, models suffer -1 To Wound rolls against them, unless they are using Magical Attacks or Flaming Attacks.

Whenever Ulli and Marquand rolls a natural 1 on the Mercenary Loyalty Table, they have decided to switch sides, and will be under the control of your opponent from then on. If they are inside a unit, they will immediately leave it and should be placed in base contact with their former unit, counting as charging.

Ulli and Marquand must remain with each other at all times, following the rules for Characters forming their own unit, though they may still join other units as normal.

If Simius rolls a 6 when rolling To Wound against a Character in close combat, he sews up the mouth of his enemy. The model cannot then lend their Leadership to any friendly units and Wizards are unable to cast spells for the remainder of the battle.
