The Enchanted Shield is a shield. In addition, its bearer has a 6+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by a non-magical enemy attack.

The Charmed Shield is a shield. In addition, once per game the Charmed Shield gives its bearer a 5+ Ward save against a single wound. Once this Ward save has been used, the Charmed Shield is considered to be an ordinary, non magical shield.

Armour of the Damned

This ornate suit of Chaos armour shimmers with the eldritch energies of the Chaos Wastes, distorting the wearer’s outline and clouding the minds of their foes.

Crimson Armour of Dargan

The rich crimson metal of this armour flares into a storm of blood- coloured light when its wearer wills it, dazzling those who would strike a mortal blow.

Models whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or ‘cavalry’ only. The Crimson Armour of Dargan is a suit of heavy armour. In addition, the wearer is immune to the Multiple Wounds (X) special rule. If the wearer suffers an unsaved wound from an attack with this special rule, they lose a single Wound.

Brazen Collar

Champions are sometimes gifted with heavy, rune-etched brass collars. Worn around the neck, these marks of favour are potent wards against magic.

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.

Healing Potion

Purveyors of magical potions make many bold claims. Sometimes they are true, sometimes not.

Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, the bearer of a Healing Potion can consume it. The model immediately recovers D3 lost Wounds.

Ruby Ring Of Ruin

Uttering a simple command, the wearer of the ring can hurl a flaming ball of ruin at their foes.

The wielder of the Ruby Ring of Ruin can cast the Fireball spell from the Lore of Battle Magic (as described on page 321) as a Bound spell, with a Power Level of 2.

Potion Of Strength

A concoction of strength-giving vegetables and roots, mixed together with a touch of magic.

Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, the bearer of a Potion of Strength can consume it. Until the end of that turn, the model has a +D3 modifier to its Strength characteristic (to a maximum of 10).

A powerful potion with a terrible aftertaste that sharpens the wits and speeds the reactions.

Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, the bearer of a Potion of Speed can consume it. Until the end of that turn, the model has a +D3 modifier to its Initiative characteristic (to a maximum of 10).

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.

Pendant of Damnation

This pendant burrows deep into the owner’s chest and nestles beside their heart, filling them with vitality even as their mortal form inches towards damnation.

Models whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or ‘cavalry’ only. The bearer of the Pendant of Damnation gains a +1 modifier to their Attacks characteristic for every Wound they lose.

Helm of Many Eyes

This ornate full face helm has no eyeholes, but is covered with magical eyes that, it is said, can see into the souls and minds of men.

The Helm of Many Eyes gives its wearer (but not their mount) the Strike First special rule. However, due to the confusing images the helm conjures up, its wearer is also subject to the Stupidity special rule.

Favour of the Gods

The Champion bears an obsidian pendant that marks them as having truly earned the favour of the Dark Gods.

Single use. The bearer of a Favour of the Gods may re-roll the D6 when rolling on the Gaze of the Gods table.

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.

Skull of Katam

The polished skull of the daemonologist Katam constantly whispers its dark secrets into the mind of any Wizard nearby.

The bearer of the Skull of Katam and any other Wizard within 3" (friend or foe) may apply a +1 modifier to any Casting roll they make.

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

Infernal Puppet

Twisting and jerking upon its strings, this eldritch homunculus draws the Winds of Magic into itself, causing them to flow with strange currents that confound the wits of its master’s rivals.

Unless the owner of the Infernal Puppet is fleeing or engaged in combat, they may use it whenever an enemy Wizard that is within 24" of them makes a Casting roll. If they do so, the enemy Wizard must roll an extra D6 and discard the highest result.

Spell Familiar

A spell familiar memorises a spell on its master’s behalf, constantly rehearsing for its big moment until it is called upon to share its arcane knowledge.

0-1 per Wizard. The owner of a Spell Familiar knows one more spell (chosen in the usual way) than is normal for their Level of Wizardry.

Note that this does not increase the Wizard’s Level.
