Hordes of Chaos

Special Rules

Accompany Horrors

Many troops in the Warhammer game have unique and unusual abilities and skills. These range from supernatural abilities, such as the regenerative powers of Trolls and the fiery breath of Dragons, to the natural protection gained by Lizardmen from their scaly hides. In the game these abilities and special skills are represented by special rules. Any creature may have one or more special rules and, unless otherwise mentioned, the effects from special rules are cumulative. The following list is by no means exhaustive, but it does detail the most common special rules and should serve as a good reference source.

Master of the Shadows

The Warhammer rulebook describes eight different kinds of magical lore each of which is represented by six spells making a total of 48 individual spells. Each Lore is based upon one of the eight magical traditions of the High Elves whose learning far exceeds that of any ocher race in the Warhammer world. The men of the Empire learned their sorcery from High Elf mages and so use the same system as their basis of study — though their knowledge is by no means as great. The sorcery of the other races of the Warhammer world is also based upon one or more of the eight kinds of magic but often includes spells unique to a particular race. The Warhammer Army books contain further spell lists for specific armies where appropriate. There are two other types of magic which do not directly concern us here - High magic and Dark magic. These are described in the Warhammer Army books for the High Elves and Dark Elves respectively.

Magic Items (and Abilities)

Marks of Chaos

Magic items form an important part of the Warhammer game. The Warhammer Armies books describe in detail the many different kinds of magic items which each army can use. Here we shall examine the magic items that are commonly used by all races. In cases of contradiction, the special rule of a magic item takes precedence over normal game rules.

Army Lists

The Chaos General

Note: This section is not formally part of the main rulebook, but is included in every army book, individually. A generalised overview of common army structure is presented here. The purpose of an army list is to enable players with vastly different armies to stage games which are as fair and evenly balanced as it is possible to make them. The army list gives each individual model a points value which represents its capabilities on the tabletop. The higher a model's points value the better it is in one or more respects: stronger, tougher, faster, better leadership, and so on. The value of the army is simply the value of all the models added together. As well as providing points costs, the list also divides the army into its constituent units. The list describes the weapons and optional equipment that troops can have and occasionally restricts the number of very powerful units an army can include.

Archaon may unleash the power of U'zubl in any Close Combat phase. If he does this, he fights wlth double his normal number of Attacks (usually 10) but any rolls to hit of a 1 will strike either himself or a friendly model in base contact (Chaos player's choice). He may not re-roll to hit results of a 1 for any reason when unleashing U'zubl. Once U'zubl is released, Archaon must use this special ability in every close combat he is subsequently in - the Daemon cannot be bound back into the blade during the course of the battle. In addition, whether U'zubl has been released or not, the Slayer of Kings ignores armour saves.

The Slayer of Kings

The Armour of Morkar gives Archaon a 1+ saving throw. In addition to this, no attack against him may ever have a better chance to wound him than a 3+ roll. Attacks that wound automatically, always 2+, etc, will still need a 3+ to wound him.

The Armour of Morkar

The vision granted by the Eye allow Archaon to predict the attacks of the enemy and counter or avoid them. The Eye grants him a 3+ Ward save.

The Eye of Sheerian

Archaon cause terror, and in addition any friendly unit within 6" of Archaon may re-roll failed Break tests.
