The Empire

If the Grand Theogonist suffers harm the Jade Griffon uses the power of the War Altar to instantly heal him. Unless the Grand Theogonist is killed outright, the Jade Griffon will enable him to sustain wounds which would kill an ordinary man. The effect of the Jade Griffon is worked out at the end of each Movement, Shooting and Close Combat phase. If the Grand Theogonist has suffered any wounds but has not been killed then all his wounds are instantly healed. If the Theogonist is killed outright during magic, shooting, hand-to-hand fighting, or at any other time, the Jade Griffon is powerless to save him. This means that in order to slay the Theogonist, the enemy must inflict the full 3 wounds on him before the end of the next Magic, Shooting or Close Combat phase.

The Jade Griffon

The Grand Theogonist may add +2 to his Strength. If the War Altar is destroyed then the Staff of Command is useless and all bonuses are lost.

The Staff of Command

When the War Altar charges into combat (and only when it charges) the sounding of the Horn strikes terror into the charged enemy unit. Terror is caused on the charged unit exactly as described in the Warhammer rulebook. Note that this only affects the unit being charged, and not any other enemy units within 6".

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!
