Armour saving throws are not allowed against the Frostblade. Ward saves can be taken as normal. For every unsaved wound caused by this sword, the victim must take a Toughness test to resist its magic. If he fails, he is killed outright (remember that a 6 is always a failure). If the victim passes the test then he suffers damage from the blow as normal.

Can't be chosen by Necrarch or Lahmian Vampires. The Black Axe of Krell is a Great Weapon and follows all the rules for normal Great Weapons. Also, any model which suffers 1 or more wounds from the Black Axe must roll a D6 at the start of both its own and its enemy's Magic phases for the rest of the game. On a roll of 1 or 2 it suffers 1 more wound with no armour save allowed (a Ward save can be taken as normal).

Vampires only. For every model killed in close combat the wearer immediately regenerates one lost Wound. This cannot take the character's Wounds characteristic above its initial value.

For each unsaved wound caused by the blade the player may immediately get a magic dice. This dice is added to his pile of Power or Dispel dice in the following Magic phase, (depending on whether it is his own turn or his enemy's).

The full powers of this sword can be used only when the bearer has joined a unit of Skeletons or Zombies, otherwise it is treated as a magic weapon with no particular power. If the wielder slays a model with only 1 Wound on its starting profile with the Tomb Blade, then one Skeleton or Zombie is created in its place. Models created by the Tomb Blade are added to the unit which the bearer is in, armed exactly like the other rank-and-file models in the unit. The Victory points value of the unit is unaffected.

Lahmian Vampires only. Range 24". The bearer can pick any target it can see (including a character/Champion in a unit, a war machine's crew, a chariot/monster rider etc), but if he uses this special ability he suffers a -1 to hit. Note that the normal -1 modifier for shooting at a single model does not apply (but other to hit modifiers do apply) and a character/Champion cannot benefit from the "Look Out, Sir!" rule. Hits are resolved at Strength 4 and count as Poisoned Attacks.

Wight Lords only. This sword scores a Killing Blow on the result of a 5+.

Gives a 5+ armour save and may be combined with other equipment. A Wizard can wear this armour without losing his ability to cast spells. When the wearer fails his first armour save (or if he's wounded by an attack against which he cannot take an armour save at all), the armour crumbles to dust and is destroyed, but the wound is ignored.

Gives a 6+ armour save and may be worn in addition to normal armour. The wearer also causes terror.

Can't be chosen by Necrarch or Lahmian Vampires. 1+ armour save. This cannot be improved by any means.

Can't be chosen by Necrarch or Lahmian Vampires. Gives a 6+ armour save and may be combined with other equipment normally. One enemy in base contact (bearer's choice) loses 1 Attack.

All Bretonnian Knights and Characters hate the model carrying the shield.

Von Carstein Vampires only. The model has a 4+ Ward save and the Regeneration special rule.

The bearer has a 4+ Ward save against wounds caused by magic weapons, spells or indeed any form of magical attack. In addition, the ring confers Magic Resistance (1).

4+ Ward save. The wearer is subject to stupidity (even if the model is normally Immune to Psychology).

5+ Ward save.

3+ Ward save against missile fire of any kind (including hits from war machines, template attacks, magic missiles, etc).

One use only. When the wearer suffers its first wound in close combat, the gem is activated. Roll a dice. On a result of 2+, the wound is saved and rebounded on the model who caused it, with no armour saves allowed. On a result of 1, the wound is not saved and the bearer suffers 1 additional wound, with no amour saves allowed.

Can't be chosen by Blood Dragon Vampires. The Familiar adds one dice to both the Power dice and the Dispel dice pool of the bearer's side.

At the beginning of the bearer's Magic phase, the enemy must reveal all magic items carried by each one of his models within 12" of the Skull Staff's bearer.

In addition, thanks to the wise advice of the skull, after the bearer has rolled on the Miscast Table, he can choose to re-roll the dice. The second result applies.

Bound Spell, Power Level 4. The bearer can release the powers of the staff once in each of his Magic phases. All Undead units within 12" are affected by the Hellish Vigour spel.. Roll a D6 each time the Staff is used. On a roll of 1, the Staff is temporarily exhausted and can't be used again that battle.

Can't be chosen by Blood Dragon Vampires. At the beginning of the Close Combat phase, before blows are struck, the Familiar inflicts one Strength 5 hit on a single model chosen by the Wizard from among those in base contact with him.

Bound Spell, Power Level 3. The bearer can release the Vanhel's Danse Macabre spell contained in the Book once per Magic phase like an ordinary spell. No power is necessary to cast the spell as the Book provides all the power required.

Roll a D6 each time the Book is used. On a result of 1 its powers are temporarily exhausted and the Book cannot be used again that battle.

The Periapt allows the bearer to save one unused Power dice or Dispel dice at the end of any Magic phase and store it, to add it to his side's dice pool in the next Magic phase.

Can't be chosen by Blood Dragon Vampires. The Familiar's owner knows one more spell than he is normally allowed. This does not increase his magic level.

All enemy models within 6" of the Book's bearer suffer a -1 penalty on their rolls to hit in close combat.

Bound Spell, Power Level 4. The bearer can cast the Rod's spell once in his Magic phase. The spell requires no Power dice to cast.

A flaming magic missile with a range of 24" and causing D3 Strength 4 hits spews from the staff. A unit taking at least one casualty must take a Panic test.

This item can be used only by models on foot. The wearer is Ethereal for the entire game. He may cast spells in this form, but cannot use missile weapons nor strike blows in close combat, except against other Ethereal creatures.

All enemy models in base contact with the bearer of the Talon of Death automatically suffer 1 Strength 5 hit at the end of each of the bearer's Movement phases.

If a character riding a monster/chariot is touching the bearer then both rider and the mount/chariot suffer 1 Strength 5 hit.

Bound Spell, Power Level 3. One use only. The Casket may cast its spell once during the battle. The spell requires no Power dice to cast; all the power required is provided by the Casket itself.

When the Casket's spell is cast, a model in base contact with the bearer (chosen by the bearer) suffers one wound. No armour save is allowed. If the wound is not saved, the victim must also take a Toughness test or die immediately, with no saves allowed whatsoever, not even Ward saves.

All models in the unit cause terror. Remember that all models in this unit will cause fear in fear-causing models.

The unit has a 5+ Ward save against normal and magical missiles.

Army of Sylvania only. This Banner grants Magic Resistance (2). In addition, any Vampire using either the Summon Bats or Summon Wolves Bloodline Power within 12" of this Banner will summon double the normal number of creatures (roll the dice and then double the score).

All Wights (Grave Guard, Black Knights and Wight Lords) in the unit carrying the Banner will hit the enemy on a 3+, regardless of relative Weapon Skills or any other modifier.

Enemy units taking a Fear test caused by the unit carrying this Banner must roll one extra dice for their test and discard the one with the lowest result.

Treat the unit carrying the Banner as if it had 1D6 higher Unit Strength than it actually does. Roll each time you need to calculate the Unit Strength. The result applies only for that phase (Movement, Magic, etc) and you will have to roll again in other phases when needed.
