Army Special Rules

This section describes all the different units used in an Empire army, along with any rules necessary to use them in your games of Warhammer. Where a model has a special rule that is explained in the Warhammer rulebook, only the name of that rule is given. If a model has a special rule that is unique to it, that rule is detailed alongside its description. However, there are a number of commonly recurring 'army special rules' that apply to several Empire units, and these are detailed here.

Full plate armour has the following armour profile:

CombatMissileSpecial Rules
+4/3++4/3+-

State Troops are trained to support and protect each other in battle. If an enemy unit declares a charge against a State Troop unit, and the State Troops do not flee as a charge reaction, then all unengaged State Troop units within 3" can make either a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action. These actions are declared immediately after their State Troops' charge reaction. If the charged State Troops unit does not get a charge reaction for any reason then the other State Troops units within range cannot make a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action.

State Troops are trained to support and protect each other in battle. If an enemy unit declares a charge against a State Troop unit, and the State Troops do not flee as a charge reaction, then all unengaged State Troop units within 3" can make either a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action. These actions are declared immediately after their State Troops' charge reaction. If the charged State Troops unit does not get a charge reaction for any reason then the other State Troops units within range cannot make a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action.

Additionally, a State Troop unit can only declare one Support Fire action, one Stand and Shoot reaction or one Counter Charge action per turn.

  • Support Fire: A State Troop unit can only declare a Support Fire action if at least one model in the unit is armed with a missile weapon and the range between the charging unit and the charged State Troops unit is greater than the charging unit's Movement characteristic.

    If a Support Fire action is declared, the unit makes an immediate, out of sequence shooting attack, resolved as if it had just declared a Stand and Shoot charge reaction against the charging unit. All unsaved Wounds from the units' Stand and Shoot charge reaction and/or Support Fire actions, are combined when determining if the charging unit is required to take a Heavy Casualties Panic test.

  • Counter Charge: If a Counter Charge action is declared, the unit makes an out of sequence move that is resolved as it had just declared a charge against the charging unit. This move is made after your opponent has moved all of his charging units, as long as one or more enemy units has successfully completed a charge against the charged State Troop unit. The enemy does not get to make any charge reactions against a Counter Charge, but otherwise all the normal charging rules and bonuses apply.

Experimental Weapons

A Hochland Long Rifle is a Handgun with a range of 36" and the Sniper special rule.

A Repeater Handgun is a Handgun with the Multiple Shots (3) special rule.

A Repeater Pistol is a Pistol with the Multiple Shots (3) special rule. It can be combined with a normal pistol following the brace of pistols rule, in which case you may fire Multiple Shots (4) in total.

When a Master Engineer declares he will be using Pigeon Bombs, nominate any enemy model within Line of Sight, roll a D6 and consult the following chart:

D6

Result

1

Oops! The confused pigeon returns to its handler!

Centre the small round template over the Master Engineer and resolve the explosion.

2-4

Boom! A poorly cut fuse means the bomb explodes harmlessly in mid-air (harmlessly for everyone except for the pigeon!).

The Pigeon Bomb has no effect this turn.

5-6

Huzzah! The pigeon lands exactly on the head of its target just before the bomb detonates.

Centre the small round template over the target model and resolve the explosion.

The End is Nigh!, Frenzy, Unbreakable

If a unit of Flagellants is in base contact with an enemy unit at the start of any Close Combat phase, the Flagellants may immediately sacrifice D3 Wounds worth of models. Casualties inflicted in this way are 'martyrs' and they do not count towards combat resolution.

If at least one model is removed as a martyr, the remaining models in the unit immediately gain one of the special rules listed below until the end of the current phase. The exact special rule that applies will depend on the number of models removed as martyrs.

In addition, friendly units within 6" of Flagellants suffer -1 to their Leadership, except other Flagellants, Warrior Priests, Arch Lectors and Sisters of Sigmar.

1

Fanatical Fury: The Flagellants enter a seething fit of rage as they launch themselves at the enemy with an almost unnatural fervour.

The unit re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit.

2

Strength of the Penitent: The Flagellants' self-inflicted pain lends their blows great power.

The unit re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit and To Wound.

3

Insensible to Pain: Having beaten themselves insensible, the Flagellants no longer feel mortal injuries, shrugging aside blows that would cripple a sane man!

The unit gains +1 Toughness, and re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit and To Wound.

If a Destroyed! result is rolled, all previously Artillery dice shots this turn are still resolved before the war machine is removed. After all Artillery dice are rolled, resolve the number of shots as normal.

Engineer Commander-333--317

Unit Size: 1 Steam Tank & 1 Engineer Commander

Troop Type: Chariot (Armour Save 1+)

Steam Engine, Steam Gun, Steam Cannon. (Engineer Commander) Hand weapon, Repeater Pistol.

A Steam Cannon is a cannon, but instead of gunpowder, it is fired by pressurised steam. The more Steam Points that are expended in the Steam Cannon, the greater its maximum range will be. If you choose not to expend any Steam Points in the Steam Cannon, or if the Steam Tank is in base contact with an enemy unit, you cannot fire it that turn.

If you expend a single Steam Point, the Steam Cannon can fire with a maximum range of 12". For each additional Steam Point you expend, the maximum range of the Steam Cannon is increased by 12". The Steam Cannon can only be fired directly ahead. The Steam Cannon is a Cannon with the following profile:

RangeStrengthSpecial Rules
12"/24"/36"10-

If the first artillery dice rolls a misfire, the Steam Cannon does not fire and the Steam Tank immediately loses D3 Wounds with no armour saves allowed. The Steam Cannon cannot fire grapeshot.

The more Steam Points you expend in the Steam Engine, the further the Steam Tank moves in the Movement phase. Declare how many Steam Points you will expend in the Steam Engine at the start of your Compulsory Moves sub-phase. If you choose not to expend any Steam Points in the Steam Engine, the Steam Tank's Movement will be 0 that turn and it cannot move at all in the Movement phase. For each Steam Point you chose to expend, the Steam Tank's Random Movement increases by D6".

If the Steam Tank charges an enemy unit, it will inflict an additional D3 Impact Hits for each Steam Point expended in the Steam Engine that turn.

If the Steam Tank is in base contact with an enemy unit, it cannot move but can instead expend Steam Points in the Steam Engine to grind foes beneath its wheels in the close combat phase. Select one enemy unit in base contact – it immediately suffers D3 Impact Hits for each steam point expended in this way.

The more Steam Points you expend in the Steam Gun, the higher the pressure of the resultant gout of steam. If the Steam Tank is unengaged, declare how many Steam Points you will expend in the Steam Gun at the start of your Shooting phase. If the Steam Tank is engaged in close combat, declare how many Steam Points you will expend in the Steam Gun at the start of your Close Combat phase. In either case, if you choose not to expend any Steam Points in the Steam Gun, you cannot fire it that turn.

If only a single Steam Point is expended, the Steam Gun is treated as a Strength 2 Breath Weapon, which uses the Engineer Commander's Initiative. The Strength of the Breath Weapon is increased by 1 for each additional Steam Point expended in the Steam Gun. (For example, if 3 Steam Points are expended, the Steam Gun is treated as a Strength 4 Breath Weapon.) The Steam Gun has a 360 degree arc of fire. Unlike other Breath Weapons, the Steam Gun can be used once each turn.

  • The Engineer Commander may take a Hochland Long Rifle (15 pts)

  • May replace Steam Cannon and Steam Gun for Mortar Shells and Swivel Gun (free)

  • The following options reduce the base cost of the Steam Tank (225 pts per model):

    • Replace Steam Cannon for Steam-powered Volley Gun

    • Replace Steam Cannon and Steam Gun for a Ram Attack

    • Replace Steam Cannon and Steam Gun for a Fighting Platform

The fighting platform has 6 State Troops crewing it, who follow the Mixed Weaponry special rule from the War Wagon.

Mortars fire like a Stone Thrower and have the following profile:

RangeStrengthSpecial Rules
12-48"3(6)-

The Mortar on the Implaceable may move and fire. If the first artillery dice rolls a misfire, the Mortar does not fire and the Steam Tank immediately loses D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour Saves.

When charging or using its grinding attack, the Sigmar's Hammer inflicts D6 hits per Steam point spent rather than D3.

If you expend a single Steam Point, the Volley Gun can fire using the following profile and rules:

RangeStrengthSpecial Rules
24"5-

*The number of shots is equal to the roll of an Artillery dice. The Volley gun does not suffer To Hit penalties for firing Multiple Shots. If you roll a misfire, the Steam-powered Volley Gun does not fire and the Steam Tank immediately loses D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour Saves.

Swivel Guns uses the following profile:

RangeStrengthSpecial Rules
36"6-

Swivel Guns do not suffer any To Hit penalties for firing multiple shots.

Steel Behemoth, Animated Construct, Large Target (4), Random Movement (*), Steam Points, Terror

At the start of your turn, declare how many Steam Points your Steam Tank is generating – this can be any number between 0 and 5. After you have generated your Steam Points (if any), roll an artillery dice to see if the Steam Tank's boiler holds out. If the result is greater than the Steam Tank's current number of Wounds, or if you roll a misfire, roll a D3 and then, for each Steam Point the Steam Tank currently has, add 1 to the result and consult the Steam Boiler Mishap table. You can expend Steam Points in three ways: through the Steam Engine, or Steam Weapons.

You can expend up to 3 Steam Points in each of these categories, as long as you have enough Steam Points remaining. Any Steam Points left unused at the end of your turn are lost.

1-4

Valve Locked: Roll a D6. On a 1-2, you cannot expend Steam Points in the Steam Engine this turn. On a 3-4, you cannot expend Steam Points in the Steam Gun this turn. On a 5-6, you cannot expend Steam Points in the Steam Cannon this turn.

5

Minor Leak: The Steam Tank immediately loses D3 Steam Points.

6

Emergency Vent: The Steam Tank immediately loses D6 Steam Points. The Steam Tank, and any unit in base contact, immediately suffers 2D6, Strength 2 hits, distributed as from shooting (roll for each unit).

7

Dangerous Overpressure: Roll a D6. The Steam Tank immediately gains a number of Steam Points and loses a number of Wounds equal to the result.

8

Kaboom: All units within 6" of the Steam Tank (Friend or foe) immediately suffer 2D6 Strength 4 hits, distributed as from shooting (roll for each unit). After resolving any damage, the Steam Tank is removed as a casualty.

A Steam Tank, and its crew, can shoot missile weapons with the Move or Fire special rule even if it moved in its Movement phase. In addition, a Steam Tank cannot overrun or pursue a fleeing enemy – it automatically restrains and is unable to perform combat reforms.

Aura of Protection (Luminark only), Large Target (5), Locus of Power, Portents of Battle (Hurricanum only), Solheim's Bolt of Illumination (Luminark only), Storm of Shemtek (Hurricanum only)

The Luminark of Hysh and all friendly units within 6" of have a Ward Save (6+).

For each friendly Arcane Battle Altar on the battlefield at the start of your magic phase, add 1 dice to your power pool.

The Hurricanum and all friendly units within 6" re-roll 1's when rolling to Hit.

Innate Bound Spell (power level 4). Solheim's Bolt of Illumination is a magic missile with a range of 36". It causes a Strength 8 hit that has the Multiple Wounds (D3) and Flaming Attacks special rules, and penetrates ranks in the same manner as a shot from a bolt thrower. Armour saves are not permitted against Wounds caused by Solheim's Bolt of Illumination. If the target has the Daemonic, Undead or Vampiric special rule, all failed To Wound rolls caused by this spell are re-rolled.

Innate Bound Spell (power level 4). Storm of Shemtek is a direct damage spell with a range of 24". Place the small round template over the target and scatter it D6". The result of the D6 is also used to determine the type of storm that is summoned (see the chart below). If a Hit! is rolled, the template does not scatter. If the template hits a unit with the Fly special rule, it suffers D6 Strength 4 hits, in addition to any other effects (even if a Sudden Downpour is summoned).

1

Sudden Downpour: The target is pelted with rain – the unit is a bit soggy, but no damage is inflicted this time.

In addition, they suffer a -1 modifier to all To Hit rolls (both shooting and close combat) until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. Shooting attacks that do not use Ballistic Skill are unaffected.

3

Raging Tornado: If a target unit lies beneath the template's central hole and is not engaged in close combat, roll a scatter dice and rotate the unit so that it is facing that direction (if a hit is rolled, the casting player chooses the direction). If, by rotating the unit, it would come within of another unit or impassable terrain, simply stop rotating the unit as soon as it moves to within 1".

4-5

Lightning Strike: The model under the template's central hole suffers a Strength 6 hit. Other models hit by the template suffer a Strength 3 hit. This is a Lightning Attack.

6

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.

D6

Result

1

Abandon Ship! With an appalling cracking sound, the main axles snap, spars shatter and the wheels are crushed, dumping the ship unceremoniously to the ground in an almighty crash.

The Land Ship is destroyed but left on the table as an area of impassable terrain. Any unit in base contact when this happens suffers D6 Strength 6 hits.

2-3

Arrrrgh! The boiler backfires, sending the Land Ship hurtling forward.

The ship moves the rolled distance and an additional D6", as well as suffering D3 wounds with no Armour save allowed.

4-5

All hands to the Wheel! The Land Ship slews perilously out of control.

Roll a Scatter dice and move the ship the rolled distance in the direction shown on the dice. If a ‘hit’ is rolled, the crew manage to drop the emergency anchor and the Land Ship remains stationary.

6

Boom! Between the over-pressurised boiler exploding and the powder magazine detonating, the Land Ship makes a spectacular fireball.

Everything within D6" of the Land Ship’s hull suffers a Strength 6 hit and the Land Ship is destroyed and removed from play.

3

Marius immediately makes one close combat attack against a randomly chosen friendly model in base contact (if there are none, treat this result as Lunatic Ravings instead).

Elspeth von Draken is a Level 4 Wizard. She use spells from the Lore of Death.

Magic Items / Abilities: The Pale Scythe, Death's Timekeeper

This weapon has the Killing Blow special rule, and as a focus for deathly energies it adds +1 to Elspeth von Draken's dispelling rolls.

Once per player turn, Elspeth von Draken can re-roll a single dice of your choice concerning her or the Carmine Dragon (this can include attacks, saving throws, magic dice and the Artillery dice used to determine the Carmine Dragon's Coruscating Blast if desired). If this re-roll is not used, at the end of her player's turn Elspeth von Draken may recover a wound previously lost in the game.

Coruscating Blast (Carmine Dragon), Darkwalker, Fly (7), Loremaster (Lore of Death), Natural Armour (3+)

This Breath Weapon works similarly to determining the effects of a cannon shot (see the Warhammer rulebook). The maximum range of the attack's target point is 12" away from the monster and may be treated just like a normal breath weapon. After the target point has been selected, roll the Artillery dice to create a line of effect for the blast travelling in a straight line away from the dragon (using the line template). A Misfire result should be re-rolled. Any model caught in the line of the blast suffers D3 wounds with a strength equivalent to 10, minus the target's Toughness score, with the Ignores Armour Saves and Magical Attacks special rules.

Elspeth has Immunity (Psychology) and all To Wound rolls made against her suffer a -1 penalty. Unfortunately, she also suffers any extra effect that is listed as specifically damaging Daemons or the Undead.

Valten has a Ward Save (5+). If Valten is killed, take a Leadership test for him at the end of that phase. If he passes, his astounding strength of will allows him to ignore the wound and continue fighting. He remains alive on 1 Wound, and the wounds that killed him are discounted. The effects of combat resolution, are worked out after determining whether Valten recovers. This rule does not apply if he is fleeing and is run down by chargers or pursuers, or slain by a Killing Blow.

If Karl Franz suffers a Wound (before armour saves are taken) and Ludwig Schwarzhelm is in the same unit, roll a D6. On a 1, the Wound is resolved as normal, but on a 2+ the Wound is intercepted and reallocated to Ludwig Schwarzhelm. If Karl Franz suffers more than one Wound simultaneously, randomise between them to determine which Ludwig attempts to intercept first. No more than one Wound can be re-allocated to Ludwig Schwarzhelm in this way in each phase. Wounds suffered by the Emperor in a challenge cannot be re-allocated – it is a duel of honour, and Ludwig Schwarzhelm will not interfere.

Hand weapon, pistol, light armour.

Magic Items / Abilities: Eichelbaum's Scroll, Sanctified Silver Bullets

Once per turn, when an enemy spell has been cast, Hubert can read Eichelbaum's Scroll instead of attempting to dispel the spell by using dispel dice. This gives him 3 free dice to attempt to dispel the spell, which cannot be combined with any other dispel dice. This may also be used to dispel spells that Remains in Play. However, if the dispel attempt fails, the scroll is destroyed and cannot be used for the remainder of the battle. Hubert may use this item despite not being a Wizard.

Heirlooms of Magic

This section contains the rules and background for some of the most iconic and powerful magical artefacts used by the Empire. These may be used in addition to the magic items found in the Warhammer rulebook.

Magic Weapons

All hits from a Runefang wound automatically and Ignores Armour Saves.

Great weapon. Instead of attacking normally, the bearer can choose to forfeit all of his normal Attacks to make a single, special Attack. If this Attack hits, it is resolved at Strength 10 and has both the Flaming Attacks and Multiple Wounds (D3) special rules.

Magic Armour

The Armour of Meteoric Iron grants the wearer both a Armour Save (1+) and a Ward Save (6+).

The wearer of the Helm of the Skavenslayer gains a 6+ armour save and the Fear special rule. Against models from a Skaven army, the wearer causes Terror instead. However, all Skaven gain the Hatred special rule while attacking the wearer.

Talismans

This item gives the bearer a Ward Save (5+) and Magic Resistance (2). In addition, any unit joined by the character wearing the Shroud have Immunity (Fear, Terror).

Enchanted Items

Bound Spell (power level variable). At the start of each of his Magic phases, the bearer may remove and capture one randomly determined spell from an enemy Wizard within 12" of him on a roll of 4+. The bearer can then cast the captured spell in any of his own Magic phases by releasing it from the casket just like from a Bound Spell, whereupon the spell is then removed from the game. Any number of spells may be captured by the casket, and the bearer can cast each one once, either over several magic phases or all at the same time if they prefer. The power level of the spell cast by the casket will be equivalent to the normal casting value of the spell.

When the wearer fights in a challenge, he must 'swap' the Weapon Skill, Strength, Toughness, Initiative and Attacks characteristics on his profile with his enemy
(but not the enemy's mount, if he has one). So, the wearer fights with his enemy's Strength, Toughness, Initiative and Attacks whilst his enemy fights with the wearer's Strength, Toughness, Initiative and Attacks. Note that you cannot choose not to use Van Horstmann's Speculum and you must swap all of the listed characteristics for the duration of the challenge, not just some of them.

One use only. Bound Spell (power level variable). At the beginning of the game, choose one of the eight Lores of Magic from the Warhammer rulebook and generate a spell from it as if the bearer were a Level 1 Wizard. That spell is bound within the Ring of Volans is automatically cast with a power level equal to the normal casting value of the spell, no power dice are required.

Magic Standards

All units within 12" of this banner roll 3D6 for their Leadership test, and discards the highest dice.

A unit bearing the Griffon Banner doubles any combat result bonus granted for having extra ranks. However, the unit carrying the Griffon Banner cannot pursue a fleeing enemy and must hold their ground instead.

Knights of the White Wolf unit only. The unit carrying this standard causes Fear. When charging, they cause Terror.

Knights Panther unit only. The unit carrying this standard gains Magic Resistance (2).
