The Empire

Immediately after rolling the dice to cast a spell or to dispel an enemy spell, the Wizard wielding the Staff of Volans can pick up one of the dice rolled and turn it so that its result is one higher than the number rolled. Only then is the total score and its effects worked out. Including Miscasts and Irresistible Force. This is especially useful because the Staff will make Miscasts and failed Dispels rarer (you need to roll at least three 1s) and will make spells cast with Irresistible Force more common (if you roll a 5 and a 6. you can transform the 5 into a 6).

Staff of Volans

The robe gives a 3+ Ward save against any missile attack (including template weapons and missile spells) directed towards Balthasar and or his mount. The robe has no effect against close combat attacks and spells that are not magic missiles.

The Gleaming Robe

The amulet adds one dice to any attempt to dispel an enemy spell targeted at the wearer and/or his mount or otherwise affecting them.

The Lore of Metal Lore

In the lands of Men, the Lore of Metal is more commonly known as Alchemy. It is practiced by many races, but few are as devoted to it as Men. If there is truth in common talk then there are many fortunes won by means of alchemical sorcery. The Alchemists of the Golden Order at Altdorf have the Emperor's ear in all matters of state and war – or so it is said by ordinary folk of the town.

Infantry (20/25mm)

Infantry includes all units of foot troops, be they Dwarfs, Elves, Men, or any other of the myriad Warhammer races fighting on foot. A typical infantry regiment is at least 10 strong but can include 20, 40 or even more! Infantry forms the backbone of most Warhammer armies.

Special Character

The Warhammer Army books include several different types of characters, be they Wizards or Heroes. However, we can easily imagine all kinds of wild individuals with different characteristic values from those given in the army lists. The characters described above are 'standard' types. They are typically representative of their race, and of the sort of Heroes and Wizards you can expect to find in a Warhammer army. Variant types of character, those differing from the standard types, are referred to as 'special characters'. Special characters are the Warhammer equivalent of famous warleaders and mages, individuals renowned amongst their own kind and abhorred by their enemies. For example, they can be the mighty leaders of nations, such as the Emperor Karl Franz of the Empire, Orc and Goblin Warlords such as Grom the Paunch of Misty Mountain, Malekith the Witch King of the Dark Elves, Hotek the renegade Priest of Vaul and many more besides. There are also important military leaders and high ranking nobles, such as Bretonnian Dukes, Elector Counts from the Empire, and devious Skaven Seers. All of these special characters are quite different from the standard types. Some are better fighters than others, but some are better leaders, while many carry specific magical weapons or ride large monsters. Numerous special characters are described in the Warhammer Army books and other Warhammer supplements and, of course, players can get together and make up their own if they wish. After all, who can resist the temptation to create a mighty leader of armies in their own image, to paint and perhaps even model him to suit their heroic vision, to name and invent a past for their character, and to fight him in battle after battle!
