Army Special Rules

Master of Undeath

Only Models with this Special Rule can be chosen as General

. The General

is automatically designated as Master andmust exchange one spell for Invocation of the Undead, regardless of which Path it uses.

Ashes to Ashes

At the end of any phase in which the Master is removed as a casualty, every unitin the armywith one ormore models

with Ashes to Ashes must pass a Leadership test orsufferan amountof woundswithno saves of anykindallowed equal

to the amount by which the test was failed. These wounds are distributed following the rules for Unstableexceptthey

can never be distributed to models that do not have Ashes to Ashes. This is reduced byonewoundif the unitreceived

Hold Your Ground.

At the beginning of your next Player's Turn followingthe deathof theMaster, a newMaster maybe selected.In order to

do so, the Player must nominate another eligible character who is a Wizard using the Path of Necromancy. This

character is your new Master. If the army does not have any eligible character,every unitwith the Ashes toAshesrule

must once again pass a Leadership test or suffer wounds asdescribed above.Thiseffect willrepeatitself atthe start of

each of the owning Players turn until the game ends.

Chilling Shriek (X, Y)

Part of a model with this Special Rule may perform a shooting special attack with range 8. It can be used after

marching and hits automatically. The target suffers X hits with strength equal to Y plus thecurrentnumber of Wounds

of the shooting part of model, where X and Y are the numberwithinthebrackets. Whenrollingto wound,comparethe

Strength with the targets 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 inbase

contact with it.

Awaken (X)

Models with this special rule canRaisewounds of allthe unitsstatedwithin thebrackets abovetheir starting size, using

any effectthatRaiseswounds.A unitsstartingsizeis thesizethey arewritten as in thearmy list. Unitscanbe increased

Reaper

Units consisting solely of models with this special rule may move through enemy units during the Remaining Moves

Sub-Phase. AllModels in such unitscanmake a singleClose Combatattack against a singleunengaged enemy unit which

has been moved through. These attacks hit automatically and are distributed towards the unit as a whole.

Presence. They still have to test Leadership if they are within 8 of enemy units.

At the end of the close combat phase, units with this Special Rule can make a single VampiricRoll ifa Model partwith

Wake the Dead

Each time after an Augment spell from Path of Necromancy (including the Curse ofUndeath) isresolvedagainst a unit

containing at least one model with this rule, you may select a single unit within 6 of it. Until the end of the following

player turn, all Models in the chosen units have the Lightning Reflexes special rule.

Necromantic Aura

All friendly units within 6" of one or models with this Special Rule reduce the number of wounds caused by Ashes to

Ashes and Unstable by 1. Models with the Necromantic Aura cannot benefit themselves from Necromantic Aura.
