Araby

South of Tilea, past the stormy seas of the Black Gulf, lays the kingdom of Araby. Here the decadent Caliphs and Sultans rule cities made of white stone, and their realms are the vast deserts, oases that glitter like jewels, and mountains inhabited by fierce nomad warriors. The Sultans are proud of their troops and especially of their cavalry so that no expense is spared either on their equipment or maintenance. The very best of the Arabyan soldiers are also well equipped, with steel armour, keen tulwars, gleaming helmets, and fine silk clothing. The ordinary foot soldiers are more plainly equipped and usually carry simple iron-hafted spears or bows. As well as these regular and garrison troops there are the irregular fighters from the desert tribes, including camel mounted warriors from the lands to the south and east.

kin. At the start of the close combat phase, one enemy model in base contact must pass a Psychology test or it will come under Jaffar’s control for the duration of the combat phase, and will attack any friendly models in base contact (chosen by the Araby player), even if in a challenge.

Serpent Staff (Araby)

The Black Book grants Jaffar the Loremaster special rule. In addition, whenever Jaffar attempt to casts a spell, he must make a blood sacrifice roll to see the number of victims claimed by the book. Roll a D3 – remove this number of models from the caster's unit as casualties, and add this many dice to his casting attempt. If there are insufficient 'volunteers' for the sacrifice, Jaffar is also dragged into the book – he and his unit are removed as casualties and the spell automatically fails. No saves of any kind can be taken by models claimed by the book. If Jaffar has not attempted to cast a spell at the end of each of his Magic phases, he is devoured by the Daemons within the book and is removed as a casualty.

The Lore of Shadow Lore

The Lore of Shadow is a force of illusion and deception, relying chiefly on phantasmal attacks to sap the enemy's will (or ability) to fight. 

The Lore of Shadow

The Lore of Death Lore

The Lore of Death has a formidable battery of short-ranged damage spells that specialise in zapping enemy characters. Death magic is more destructive even than Fire magic, but the Wizard has to be pretty close to their foe (perhaps dangerously close) to use the Lore of Death to its full, fearsome potential.

Special Character

The Warhammer Army books each include the rules for several Special Characters within their pages. They are famous, named war leaders and mighty mages, tales of whose legendary (or nefarious) deeds have travelled far and wide, such as the Emperor Karl Franz, Grom the Paunch of Misty Mountain, the infamous Vampire Lord Vlad von Carstein and many more besides. Special Characters are exceptional individuals but, more importantly for our army selection purposes, they are unique – each can be included in an army only once.
