Sparkly Wizard Finda

Disappointingly, this arcane gem has never helped find a single sparkly Wizard, though it does shine brightly when used to beat one to a bloody pulp!

Effigy Of Mork

Be it a string of lucky escapes, arcane enchantment, or perhaps the divine intervention of the cunning (yet brutal) Mork, this small trinket seems to keep the wearer out of danger.

Enchanted Items

Wizarding Hat

This splendid hat, once the property of a long dead Wizard, is still haunted by their ghost.

The wearer is a Level 1 Wizard and knows one randomly generated spell from a Lore of Magic of your choosing.

However, the whispers of the ghostly Wizard haunting the hat are often confusing. Therefore, the wearer also becomes subject to the Stupidity special rule.

Flying Carpet

Woven from the finest silks in a far-off land, this splendid rug does more than warm the feet! Models whose troop type is ‘regular infantry’ or ‘heavy infantry’ only. The bearer of the Flying Carpet gains the Fly (8) and Swiftstride special rules. However, the bearer cannot join a unit.

Potion Of Foolhardiness

A magical brew that fills the drinker with courage… it may actually just be strong liquor.

Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, the bearer of a Potion of Foolhardiness can consume it. Until the end of that turn, the model gains the Immune to Psychology special rule.

Big Boss ’At

Orcs and Goblins are easily impressed, and this ornate helmet is particularly impressive. What’s more, the Boss insists that wearing it makes them braver and cleverer, which must be true.

During the Command sub-phase of their turn, a character wearing the Big Boss ’At that is not engaged in combat may treat their comrades to some inspiring words by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, until your next Start of Turn sub-phase this character and any unit they have joined gains the Unbreakable special rule.

'Eadbuttin''At

’Eadbuttin’ contests are popular in Orc culture. Especially cunning (or brutal) participants employ magical means to improve their odds.

Fungus Wine

Night Goblins cultivate many strange fungi, the most potent of which are fermented into mind-altering wines.

Night Goblin characters only. Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may attempt to distribute Fungus Wine to a unit they have joined by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, until your next Start of Turn sub-phase this character and any unit they have joined gains the Immune to Psychology special rule.

Necklace Of Blessed Teef

Plucked from the jaws of enemies and fashioned into crude jewellery, the teef that hang from this necklace have been blessed by Mork (or possibly Gork) to protect the wearer as they thunder into battle.

The bearer of the Necklace of Blessed Teef may re-roll any Armour Save roll, Ward Save roll or Regeneration Save roll of a natural 1.

Grisly Trophy Rack

Covered in the decaying scalps and flayed skulls of conquered enemies, this totem is a foul reminder of the fate that awaits those who fall to the boss’ blade.

Black Orc Bosses, Orc Bosses, Goblin Bosses and Night Goblin Bosses only. All enemy units within 6" of the bearer of the Grisly Trophy Rack suffer a -1 modifier to their Leadership characteristic (to a minimum of 2).

Da Thinkin’ Orc’s ’At

With the overpowering need to bash skulls removed from their mind, the wearer might now think twice about charging headlong into an Empire artillery battery!

The wearer of Da Thinkin’ Orc’s ’At improves their Initiative characteristic by 1. In addition, the wearer and any unit they have joined is not subject to the Impetuous special rule.

Arcane Items

Feedback Scroll

When read aloud, this charm causes ætheric energy to flood back towards the enemy Wizard.

Single use. The bearer may use this scroll instead of making a Wizardly dispel attempt. The spell is cast as normal. Once the spell has been resolved, roll two D6. For each roll of a 4+, the casting Wizard loses a single Wound.

Scroll Of Transmogrification

For a Wizard, there are few things better than the rush of joy felt upon turning a rival into a frog! Single use. The bearer may use this scroll instead of making a Wizardly dispel attempt. The spell is cast as normal. Once the spell has been resolved, the casting player must roll equal to or lower than the casting Wizard’s Level of Wizardry on a single D6. Should they fail, the Wizard turns into a frog.

Whilst transmogrified, the Wizard cannot cast or dispel any spells, cannot use any of their equipment (magical or mundane) and reduces all of their characteristics (excluding Wounds) to 1. During each Start of Turn sub-phase, a player may roll a D6 for each transmogrified Wizard in their army.

On a roll of 4+, the Wizard returns to normal (but retains a love of water).

Wand Of Jet

Carved from brittle jet, this wand refines a Wizard’s power, but is easily broken.

The bearer of the Wand of Jet may apply a +1 modifier to any of their Casting or Dispel rolls. However, should they roll any natural double when making a Casting or Dispel roll, the Wand of Jet is destroyed and it cannot be used again.

Note that this is a modifier to the result of a roll – it does not negate a roll of a natural double 1.

Lore Familiar

By creating a magical homunculus, a Wizard is able to better recall forgotten details of their studies.

The owner of a Lore Familiar does not randomly generate their spells. Instead, they may choose which spells they know from their chosen lore (including that lore’s signature spell).

Power Scroll

Unfurling a scroll bearing runes of power can greatly increase the spell’s power.

Single use. A Wizard may use this scroll when attempting to cast a spell. If they do so, roll an extra D6 when making the Casting roll and discard the lowest result. However, if a double 1 is rolled on any two of the dice rolled, the spell is miscast.

Dispel Scroll

The Wizard reads aloud a charm of unbinding from an enchanted scroll.

Single use. A Wizard may use this scroll when attempting a Wizardly dispel. If they do so, roll an extra D6 when making the Dispel roll and discard the lowest result. However, if a double 1 is rolled on any two of the dice rolled, the Wizard is outclassed in the art.

Arcane Familiar

Many Wizards are accompanied by familiars gifted with arcane knowledge. These creatures constantly whisper secrets to their master.

The owner of an Arcane Familiar knows spells from two Lores of Magic, rather than the usual one. When determining the spells the Wizard knows, you must roll for each Lore separately. Duplicate spells are re-rolled as normal. The Wizard may discard one randomly generated spell as normal, replacing it with the signature spell of the same Lore of Magic.

Earthing Rod

Inert metal runs the length of the Wizard’s staff, drawing magical overloads safely into the earth.

Single use. Should they miscast a spell, a Wizard can use the Earthing Rod to re-roll the result rolled on the Miscast table.

Glittering Wotnots

Supposedly made from the shards of a shattered magic mirror, these gaudy gems hung from a Shaman’s staff will sometimes reflect hostile magic back upon its caster.

If the bearer (or their unit) is the target of an enemy spell, they may use the Glittering Wotnots instead of making a Wizardly dispel attempt. Roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3, the Glittering Wotnots have no effect and the spell is cast as normal. On a roll of 4+, the spell is reflected back upon the caster and they (and their unit) become the target of the spell. The caster may make a Wizardly dispel attempt.

Buzgob’s Knobbly Staff

The famed Great Shaman Buzgob once attempted to channel so much Waaagh! magic that he vanished in a flash of light, leaving behind only his staff and sticky green mist.

Once per turn, the bearer of the Buzgob’s Knobbly Staff may re-roll a Casting roll.

Idol of Mork

On the eve of battle, Orc and Goblin Shamans often craft small idols of Mork, hoping that the most cunning (but brutal) of deities will watch over them.

The bearer of the Idol of Mork increases their Dispel range by 3". Additionally, once per turn, when attempting a Wizardly dispel, the bearer of the Idol of Mork may re-roll the Dispel roll.

Staff Of Baduumm

Once carried by the famous Orc Shaman Baduumm, this charred
wooden staff still contains large reserves of the raw Waaagh! power
that evaporated its namesake.

The bearer of the Staff of Baduumm applies a +D3 modifier to the result of any Casting roll they make. However, if they roll a natural double 1 or double 6 when making a Casting roll, centre a 5" blast template over the bearer. Every model (friend or foe) whose base lies underneath the template risks being hit and suffering a single Strength 6 hit with an AP of -1. The staff is then destroyed and cannot be used again.

Note that this item’s effects are in addition to the effects of rolling a natural double 1 or double 6 when making a Casting roll.

Idol Of Gork

Before heading into a scrap, Orc and Goblin Shamans will craft small idols of Gork, the most brutal (but cunning) of deities to aid them in crumpin’ their enemies and disrupting their magic.

The bearer of the Idol of Gork increases the range of all of their spells by 3". Additionally, once per turn, the bearer of the Idol of Gork may re-roll a Casting roll.

Da Hag’s Brew

Few are sure on exactly what goes into the foetid drink, but its effect is undeniable, imbuing the drinker with the ability to harness the dank magic of the Troll Hags.

Orc Shamans, Goblin Shamans and Night Goblin Shamans only. In addition to the Lores of Magic they may normally know spells from, the bearer of Da Hag’s Brew may know spells from the Lore of Troll Magic (see page 44).
