Army Special Rules

Leaders of the Undead The model chosen as the General of the army is automatically designated as theNecrotic Nexus andmustexchange one known spell for Invocation of the Undead, regardless of which Path it uses. At the start of any Player turn in which the army does not have a living Necrotic Nexus, you may nominate a single character that uses the Path of Necromancy. If the character passes a Leadership test, the model becomes the new Necrotic Nexus. If the test is failed, apply Ashes to Ashes.

Ashes to Ashes At the start of any player turn in which the army does not have a living Necrotic Nexus and failed to designate a new one, every unit who possess the Ashes to Ashes special rule must pass a Leadership test or suffer a number of wounds equal to the value by which they test was failed. These wounds are distributed following the rules for Unstable. Units suffer 1 less Wound than they normally would due to the Unstable and Ashes to Ashes Special Rules if within the range of the Battle Standard Bearer’s Hold your Ground. At the end of any phase in which the General is removed as casualty, units with this rule must automatically test for Leadership in the way described above.

Hunger (X+) At the end of the close combat phase, roll a D6 for each unit with this Special Rule that caused at least one wound during the phase. On the roll of X+ a single wound is Raised to the unit, where X is the number stated within the brackets. Characters must cause wounds and roll for Raised wounds separately from any unit they are joined to.

Otherworldly Scream (X, Y) Part of a model with this Special Rule may perform a shooting attack with range 8”. It can be used after marching and hits automatically. The target suffers X hits with strength equal to Y plus the current number of Wounds of the shooting part of model, where X and Y are the number within the brackets. When rolling to wound, compare the Strength with the target’s Leadership instead of Toughness. Wounds caused are Armour Piercing (6) and Magical Attacks. In the combat phase the model may replace its normal attacks to instead scream at one unit that it is in base contact with it.

Awaken (X) Models with this special rule can Raise wounds of all the units stated within the brackets above their starting size, using any effect that Raises wounds. A unit’s starting size is the size they are written as in the army list. Units can be increased even beyond the maximum size written in their unit entry using this rule.

Invocation (X) Models with this special rule can heal wounds back with Invocation of the Undead equal to the amount stated in brackets. A unit cannot be increased above its starting size unless affected by a caster with the Awaken special rule.

Reaper Units consisting solely of models with this special rule may move through enemy units during the Remaining Moves Sub-Phase. The unit may attack one enemy enemy unit which has been moved through,allowing each Model in the unit to make a single Close Combat attack that hits automatically. These attacks are distributed towards the unit as a whole.

2

Vampiric Models with this rule can make march moves as normal even when outside the range of the General’s Inspiring Presence. They still have to test Leadership if they are within 8” of enemy units.

Supernatural Aura Each time after an Augment spell from Path of Necromancy (including the Curse of Undeath) is resolved against a model with this rule, you may select a single unit within 6” of it. Until the end of the following player turn, all undead models in the chosen units have the Supernatural Reflexes special rule.

Anti Crumble Aura Units within 6” of one or more models with this Special Rule suffer 1 less Wound than they normally would due to the Unstable, Ashes to Ashes special rules. Models with this special rule cannot benefit from the effects of this special rule.

3

Vampiric Bloodlines Vampire Counts and Vampire Barons may purchase unique upgrades called Blood Powers, separated in two categories called Thin Blood Powers and Thick Blood Powers. Vampires may also be upgraded to become part of a Bloodline, granting them additional bonuses and sometimes restrictions. The Vampire Counts and Vampire Barons of an army may belong to the same Bloodline or none at all.

Bloodline Vampires May only purchase powers that are specific to that Bloodline. Thin Blood Powers may be picked by any Vampire and Thick Blood Powers may only be taken by Vampire Counts. Thin powers could be duplicated, Thick powers are One of a Kind.

Independent Vampires A Vampire that is not part of a Bloodline may choose between the Thin Blood powers of all the Bloodlines. All vampire powers are One of a Kind.
