shooting when elevated may get a benet. Hills

etc. can be moved over normally. Rocky outcrops

etc. can be climbed by taking a Climb Test. Sheer

fortress walls etc. cannot be climbed.

WallsStone walls, hedges, wooden fences, etc.

This Terrain Section is 1" wide or less and can be

climbed or vaulted. Walls do not block Line of Sight,

but provide cover.

(page 66)Roll a number of dice equal to the number of inches

of movement the model has left after coming in contact

with Rough Terrain. For each Success, the model may

move 1" through and/or out of the terrain.

(pages 70-71)

The model must be able to draw Line of Sight to

its target.

An enemy in base contact with a friendly model

cannot be targeted.

Check that the target is within range.

If the target is out of range, the attack misses automatically.

If the target is within range, resolve the attack.

A model that is able to attack more than one enemy

mode must declare which model it is attacking.

Resolving an AttackFor a Ranged Attack, take a Shoot Test. For a Melee

Attack, take a Melee Test. No Successes rolled?

Attack misses.

Bonus Attack DiceA model gains +1 dice to Melee or Shoot Tests if:

It makes a Melee Attack after making a Charge

Action and it moved 3" or more.

It makes a Melee Attack and has a higher Might

value than its target.

It makes a Melee or Ranged attack against a target

with one (or more) Injury Tokens.

It makes a Ranged Attack and chose to Aim.

It makes a Ranged Attack while it is elevated at least

2" higher than its target.

The above effects are cumulative.

The target may choose to Dodge, rely on its Armour,

or Parry the attack.

Only a model using a weapon or shield with the

Parry special rule may Parry. It uses its Melee Value

to make the test. A Parry may not be used to defend

against a Ranged Attack.

Dodge, Armour & Parry TestsDifculty = number of Successes scored for the

Shoot or Melee Test.

If the defender passes the Test and rolls MORE

Successes than the Difculty, the attack misses.

If the defender passes the Test and rolls an EQUAL

number of Successes as the Difculty, the attack

misses but the defender gains a Panic Token.

If the defender fails the Test, he gains an Injury Token.

Bonus Defence DiceA model gains +1 dice to Dodge, Armour or Parry

Tests if:

It makes a Parry Test and has two or more rules that

give Parry.

It is in cover and makes a Dodge or Armour Test

against a Ranged Attack or Rune effect.

It makes a Dodge or Armour Test against a Ranged

Attack when at over half the range of the weapon

being used.

It makes a Dodge or Armour Test against a Ranged

Attack when the defending model is elevated 2"

higher or more than its attacker.

It makes a Dodge, Armour or Parry Test against a

Melee attack being made over a wall, barricade or

obstacle.

The above effects are cumulative.

(pages 72-73)Runecasting RestrictionsRunecasters cannot use weapons that require

two hands except for weapons with the Versatile

special rule.

A runecaster cannot wear armour with the Fatiguing

special rule, and cannot use shields.

A runecaster cannot cast Runes while in base contact

with an enemy model.

Casting Runes A Rune that targets a model can only target a model

that the runecaster can draw Line of Sight to. Models

in base contact with enemy or friendly models can be

targeted. The runecaster may cast a Rune on enemy

models, friendly models, and/or itself.

A Rune that uses a template/marker targets a

point on the battleeld that the runecaster can

draw Line of Sight to centre the template/

marker on that point.

For a Rune that selects a number of models, the

models selected do NOT have to be ones that the

runecaster can see. The runecaster may cast a Runeon enemy models, friendly models, and/or itself.

The runecaster takes a Rune Test, rolling a number

of dice equal to its Runecaster Level. Difculty =

Level of the Rune being cast.

Test passed? The Rune has been successfully cast.

Check that the target is within range, if necessary.

(Range = 6" +2" per Runecaster skill level).

If the target is in range, or no range is required,

resolve the effects of the Rune. If the target is out of

range, the Test is failed.

Runecasting Bonus DiceYour model gains +1 Dice to Rune Tests when it:

Concentrates, by forgoing its move while

performing a Skirmish Action.

(page 67)Move the model to the edge it wants to leap from. The

model takes an Advance Test (model may re-roll this

Test if it is Running or Charging). Difculty = distance

in inches (rounding up) between point leapt from

and point leapt to. The model may not score more

Successes than number of inches of move it has left.

Test passed? Move the model over the gap up to a

number of inches equal to number of Successes.

Test fails? Move the model directly forward a number

of inches equal to number of Successes. It then falls.

A model may only make a single Leap during its

activation.

(page 68)Move the model into base contact with terrain/

obstacle/edge to be climbed. Take a Might Test

(Difculty 1).

Test passed? Move the model up or down the terrain

(may not move vertically more inches than it has left to

move). If climbing an obstacle, it is moved over it if the

obstacles height is equal to or less than its remaining

number of inches of movement. The model may not

move any further. If the model does not have enough

movement to complete the climb, it fails the Test.

Test failed? The models move ends immediately.

(page 68)Obstacles less than 1" in height may be vaultedautomatically.

For obstacles 1" or more in height, move the model

into base contact with the obstacle/edge. The

model takes an Advance Test. Difculty = height of

obstacle in inches (rounding up).

Test passed? The model may move up, down or over the

Terrain Section without penalty and continue its move.

Test fails? The models activation ends and it suffers a Fall.

A model may make as many Vaults as it wishes in a

single move.

(page 68)A falling model gains a Stun Token. If it falls 3" to

6", it gains an Injury Token. If i t falls more than 6"to 9", is gains two Injury Tokens. If it falls more than

9", it is removed as a casualty.

Rune Eects

If the Rune has an effect that takes effect

immediately, the ef fect is resolved straight away the

Rune then expires.

Otherwise the Rune is resolved straight away, andits effects last until the end of the runecasters next

Activation phase or until the runecaster attempts to

casts a new Rune.

A Runes effects expire if the runecaster that cast it is

removed from play.

Defending Against Rune Eects

Difculty of a Test to defend against a Rune effect

= number of Successes that the runecaster rolled for

his Rune Test.

Sustaining a RuneThe caster must make a Rune Test, rolling a number

of dice equal to its Runecaster level. Gains additional

dice by Concentrating. The Difculty of this Test is 1.

Test passed? The Runes effect remains in play until

the end of the runecasters next Activation phase.

Test failed? The Runes effect expires immediately.
