Army Special Rules

This section describes all the different units used in a Zombie Pirate 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 Zombie Pirate units, and these are detailed here.

All units with the Undead special rule have the Animated Construct, Fear, and Unstable special rules. However, they may make march moves if they are within 12" of the army's General.

All units with the Undead special rule have the Animated Construct, Fear, and Unstable special rules. However, they may make march moves if they are within Army General's Inspiring Presence range or are joined by a character with the Lore of Necromancy.

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 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.

Any model with this special rule that uses a missile weapons that require a roll to hit will always hit on a roll of 5, regardless of any modifiers. However, any rolls of 1 will result in the gun misfiring – resolve the hit against the firing unit instead of the target (including when firing into close combat).

If your army contains any Undead units, you must include at least one character that is a Wizard that uses the Lore of Necromancy.

Slain General

At the end of the phase in which the General is removed as a casualty, and at the start of every friendly turn thereafter, all friendly Undead units on the battlefield must take a Leadership test. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the Leadership test, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds are distributed as if from a shooting attack.

If, at the start of any of your turns following the death of the General, there is one or more friendly Wizard Characters on the table who know spells from the Lore of Necromancy, no unit in the army needs to take this Leadership test while at least one of them remain.

Battle Standards

In addition to the normal rules for the army battle standard, units of Undead within 12" of their battle standard suffer D3 Wounds less than they normally would due to the Unstable special rule, or following the death of the army's General.

Characters and Units

Characters who are not Undead may join Undead units despite not being Unstable themselves. Mounted Characters ignore the Undead special rule of the mount. If an Undead unit would get destroyed as a result of Unstable, any remaining character(s) will need to take a Break test as normal the same phase, using the Leadership modifier that they lost the combat by.

Some magic spells and items can restore lost Wounds and even resurrect fallen warriors in an Undead (including Tomb Kings) unit. Wounds regained in this way follow a strict order.

First, the musician is resurrected, and then the standard bearer, displacing rank-and-file models as required. Then rank-and-file models with multiple Wounds (including command figures) are healed to their starting value. Resurrected command models displace rank and file models as required. Finally, any remaining Wounds resurrect rank-and-file models. In the case of multiple-Wound rank-and-file models, the first resurrected models must be fully healed before another can be resurrected.

Resurrected models are added to the front rank until it reaches at least a full rank – additional models can then be added to the front or rear rank. Raised models may never displace enemy units; if there is not enough room, any excess models are wasted. Similarly, if you do not have enough models of the appropriate type, place as many as you can – the rest are wasted.

A unit cannot be taken beyond its starting size unless specified, and no single model can ever exceed its starting Wounds value. Any characters in the unit can only be healed if targeted separately from the rest of the unit, in which case only they are healed.

Note: Vampiric Powers for a Zombie Pirates of the Vampire Coast army ignore Bloodline restrictions.

In this section you will find powers that can be bought for your Vampires. You cannot buy multiples of the same power for a single Vampire, but different Vampires in the same army can have the same powers if you wish.

Blood Dragon or Strigoi only. For each unsaved Wound caused by the model in close combat, it can immediately make an additional Attack (to a maximum of +3 Attacks). These additional Attacks do not benefit from Red Fury.

Necrarch or Strigoi only. The model gains the Regeneration (4+) special rule.

Necrarch or Strigoi only. The model has a Ward Save (3+) when they have a single Wound remaining (if the model suffers multiple Wounds in a single turn, it is reduced to 1 Wound and may then attempt to take this Ward save).

The Lore of Necromancy

When a spell from the Lore of Necromancy is successfully cast, one Undead unit within 6" of the caster regains D3 Wounds following the rules for Invocation of Nehek.

Invocation of Nehek is an augment spell with a range of 12". If the unit is Undead, it immediately regains a number of Wounds as follows: Infantry and War Beasts gain D6 plus the caster's Wizard level in Wounds; other troop types targeted gain 1 plus the caster's Wizard level in Wounds. Characters, Shrines, Chariots and Monsters regain D3 Wounds per successful casting. Wounds gained are distributed as described in Resurrecting Fallen Warriors. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 24". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 9+.

Vanhel's Danse Macabre is an augment spell that targets an unengaged Undead unit within 24". The target unit can immediately make a normal move as if it were the Remaining Moves sub-phase (including any Characters in the unit). The Wizard can choose to have this spell target all unengaged Undead units within 12". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 10+. No unit can be moved by Vanhel's Danse Macabre more than once per turn.

Hellish Vigour is an augment spell that targets a friendly unit within 24". All Undead models in the unit gain the Always Strikes First special rule and may re-roll failed To Hit rolls in Close Combat until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can choose to have this spell target all friendly units within 12". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 16+.

Gaze of Nagash is a magic missile with a range of 24" that causes 2D6 Strength 4 hits. The Wizard can choose to extend the range to 48". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 12+.

Raise Dead is a special type of spell with a range of 18" that brings a brand new unit of Zombie Pirate Deckhands into play. Choose a point on the battlefield - that point need not lie in the caster's line of sight or forward arc. Next, roll 2D6+3. This is how many models comprise the new unit. The caster can choose to summon 2D6+3 Zombie Pirate Gunners instead. If they do so, the casting value is increased to 15+.

When placing this unit, it must be wholly within the spell's range and at least 1" away from all units, buildings and impassable terrain. It can be placed facing any direction, and in any legal formation, as long as the unit's front rank contains at least five models. This unit does not have any upgrades or command models. Units summoned by this spell cannot be dispelled, and do not award victory points under any circumstances. Finally, if a summoned unit cannot be placed because there is not enough room, the unit does not enter play at all, though the spell's lore attribute may still apply.

Remains in play. Curse of Years is a hex spell with a range of 18". When cast, roll a D6 for every model in the target unit - on a score of 6 the model suffers a Wound which Ignores Armour Saves. At the end of the next Magic phase, roll again for each model in the unit, they will suffer a Wound on a 5+, and so on, to a maximum of 2+.

Remains in play. Wind of Death is a magical vortex that uses the small round template. Once the template is placed, the player then nominates the direction in which the Wind of Death will move. To determine how many inches the template moves, roll an artillery dice and multiply the result by 3. Any model passed over by the template takes a Strength 3 hit which Ignores Armour Saves. If the result on the artillery dice is a misfire, centre the template on the caster and roll a scatter dice and a D6. The template moves a number of inches equal to the roll of the D6, in the direction indicated by the scatter dice. If a Hit! is rolled, use the small arrow on the Hit! symbol. In either event, in subsequent turns, the Wind of Death will move a number of inches determined by rolling an artillery dice, in a random direction determined by rolling a scatter dice. If a misfire is rolled in subsequent turns, the Wind of Death dissipates and is removed. The caster may choose to infuse the Wind of Death with more power so that it uses the large round template and its Strength is increased to 4 instead. If they do so, the casting value is 25+.

The Lore of the Deep

Whenever a spell from the Lore of the Deep is cast on an enemy unit, that unit also suffers D6 Strength 1 Hits which Ignores Armour Saves in addition to the effects of the spell.

Tidecall is a direct damage spell. The caster makes a Strength 2 Breath Weapon Attack. This may be cast in close combat, following the normal rules for Breath Weapons. Until the start of the caster's next Magic Phase, any unit Hit will suffer -D6" to any Move they make as well as being Disrupted.

Denizens of the Deep is a magic missile with a range of 24" that causes 2D6 Strength 3 Hits. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 48". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 9+.

Eye of the Storm is an augment spell that is cast on the Wizard and any unit they are with. Until the start of the caster's next Magic Phase, any missile fire directed from or against the Wizard or their unit suffer -1 To Hit. Any missile attacks that do not roll to Hit must first roll a 4+ on a D6 to be able to target the unit. Any unit in base contact with the Wizard or their unit suffer D6 Strength 5 Hits at the start of each Magic Phase.

Watery Grave is a hex spell with a range of 18". The target unit counts as moving through dangerous terrain until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. For every 4" the unit moves while the spell is in effect, the chance of them failing the test increases by +1. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 36". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 12+.

Remains in play. Fog of the Damned is a hex spell with a range of 24". All models in the target unit suffer -1 to their Weapon Skill and Leadership. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 48". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 12+.

Stromfels' Jaws is a direct damage spell. Place the small template anywhere within 18"; it will scatter D6". Any model touched by the template takes a Strength 5 hit with the Multiple Wounds (D3) special rule. The Wizard can choose to increase the power of this spell to use the large template instead. If they do so, the template scatters 2D6" and the casting value is increased to 17+.

Remains in play. Kraken's Pull is a magical vortex that uses the small round template. Once the template is placed, the player then nominates the direction in which the Kraken's Pull will move. To determine how many inches the template moves, roll 3D6. Any model touched by the template must pass a Strength test suffers 1 Wound with no Armour Saves allowed. Any surviving models will have their Movement value lowered by half until the start of the caster's next Magic Phase.

In subsequent turns, Kraken's Pull travels in a random direction and moves a number of inches equal to 2D6. If a double is rolled in subsequent turns, Kraken's Pull is removed. The Wizard can choose to increase the power of this spell to use the large round template instead. If they do so, the casting value is 25+.
