Universal Rule.
Units with more than half of their models with Path of the Favoured must reroll failed Break Tests. In addition, model parts with Path of the Favoured upgraded to a Champion additionally gain +1 Health Point to a maximum of 3, and their Discipline is set to 9.
Universal Rule.
One use only. May be activated at the start of a friendly Player Turn (all models in a unit must activate this rule at the same time). The model gains +6″ March Rate and Devastating Charge (+1 Att, +1 Str) during this Player Turn.
Close Combat Attacks allocated towards a model with Distracting suffer a -1 to-hit modifier. This to-hit modifier cannot be combined with any other negative to-hit modifiers.
- Knows 2 spells.
- Can select from the Learned Spells 1, 2, 3, and 4 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army.
The Wizard gains Channel (1) and selects its spells as described in Spell Selection.
Model parts with Harnessed cannot make Supporting Attacks and cannot use Weapons. Shooting Weapons carried by model parts with Harnessed can be used by other model parts of the same model (as long as they do not have Harnessed or Inanimate). A model with with at least one model part with Harnessed is considered to be mounted.
Units in base contact with one or more enemy models with Fear suffer -1 Discipline. At the start of each Round of Combat, such units must take a Discipline Test, called a Fear Test. If this test is failed, the models in the unit are Shaken until the end of the Round of Combat. Models that have Fear themselves are immune to the effects of Fear.
- Knows 1 spell.
- Can select between the Learned Spell 1 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army.

Range 8″, Shots 2, FO Same as user, AP Same as user, Accurate, Quick to Fire
Defensive Trait.
If the unit has at least 2 Full ranks and a majority of its models have Shields and As One, all models of Standard Size in the unit gains +1 Armour against Ranged Attacks and in the first Round of Combat.
Infantry models in units with at least 10 models gain either:
• Fight in Extra Rank if using a Close Combat Weapon with Two-Handed
• +1 Armour if using a Shield
This cannot be used while the model’s unit is engaged in its Flank or Rear Facing.
If the attack successfully hits with a natural to-hit roll of '6', it automatically wounds with no to-wound roll needed. Shooting Attacks using the Hopeless Shot can only automatically wound if the first to-hit roll is a natural '6'. Note that the second to-hit roll must still be successful in order to hit the target. If the attack can be turned into more than one hit (e.g. a hit with Area Attack, Battle Focus, or Penetrating), only a single hit, chosen by the attacker, automatically wounds. All other hits must roll to wound as normal.
After Deployment (including units with Scout), models with Vanguard may perform a 12" move. The move is performed as an Advance Move in the Movement Phase, including any actions and restrictions the unit would normally have (such as Wheeling, Reforming, joining units, leaving units and so on). The 12" distance is used instead of the unit's Advance Rate and March Rate. This move cannot be used to move within 12" of enemy units. This is decreased to 6" for enemy units which have either Scouted or Vanguarded. Units that have moved in this way may not Declare Charges in the first Player Turn (if their side has the first turn). If both players have units with Vanguard, alternate moving units one at a time, starting with the player that finished deploying last. Instead of moving a unit, a player may declare to not move any more Vanguarding units.
Universal Rule
The model gains +1 Health Point and changes its base size to 75x100mm. The roll for the number of hits from its Stomp Attacks is subject to Maximised Roll.
Attacks & Weapons, Melee
Unsaved wounds caused by the attacks are multiplied into the value given in brackets (X). If the value is a dice (e.g. Multiple Wounds (D3)), roll one dice for each unsaved wound with Multiple Wounds. The amount of wounds that the attack is multiplied into can never be higher than the Health Points Characteristic of the target (excluding Health Points lost previously in the battle). For example, if a Multiple Wounds (D6) attack wounds a unit of Trolls (HP 3) and rolls a '5' for the multiplier, the number of unsaved wounds is reduced to 3, even if the Troll unit has already lost one or two Health Points previously in battle.
If Clipped Wings is stated after the X value in brackets, any unsaved wound caused by the attack against a model with Fly is multiplied into X+1 instead of X.
When a Character is joined to a unit in which at least one model has Bodyguard, that Character gains Stubborn. When Characters or Character types are stated in brackets, Bodyguard only works for the specified Characters or Character types.
Units with at least one model with Scoring are considered to be Scoring Units, which are used for winning Secondary Objectives (see section XVI.2 “Scoring Secondary Objectives", page 67). Every army needs a few Scoring units to be able to complete Secondary Objectives, which is why units with Scoring are marked in the Army Books with a special pennant icon:
Scoring can be lost during the game:
- A unit that is Fleeing loses Scoring for as long as it if Fleeing.
- An Ambushing unit that enters the Battlefield on Game Turn 4 or later loses Scoring.
- A unit that has performed a Post-Combat Reform loses Scoring until the start of the following Player Turn.
If more than half of a unit's models are Fearless, the unit automatically passes Panic Tests and Decimated Tests and cannot declare a Flee Charge Reaction (unless already Fleeing). Models that are Fearless are also immune to the effects of Fear.
When a unit composed entirely of models with Swiftstride rolls Charge Range, Flee Distance, Pursuit Distance or Overrun Distance, it rolls an additional D6 (normally this will lead to rolling 3D6) and discards the lowest D6 rolled.
The model automatically passes Dangerous Terrain Tests taken due to Terrain.
If more than half of a unit's models have Strider, the unit never loses their Steadfast or Rank Bonus due to Terrain.
Sometimes Strider is linked to a specific type of Terrain, stated in brackets.
In this case, models with Strider are considered Striders only when interacting with such type of Terrain.
Attack Attribute.
The model part gains Battle Focus and Hatred while joined to one or more R&F models with Åsklander Battle Fever.
A unit with at least one model with Stubborn ignores any Combat Score penalties to its Discipline when taking Break Tests or Combat Reform Discipline Tests.
A unit consisting solely of models with Feigned Flight that voluntarily chooses to Flee as a Charge Reaction, and subsequently passes a Rally Test in its next Player Turn, doesn't become Shaken. Furthermore, the Reform that is made after Rallying in this case doesn't prevent the unit from moving nor from shooting (but it still counts as having moved for shooting purposes). This rule cannot be applied if a unit fails to rally on the next friendly Player Turn or involuntarily Flees, such as a result of a failed Panic Test or if it was already Fleeing when being charged.
Fortitude is a Special Save . Fortitude Saves cannot be taken against attacks with Lethal Strike that rolled a natural 6+ to wound, or against attacks with Flaming Attacks
Universal Rule.
Attacks with Flaming Attacks must reroll successful to-wound rolls against the model.
All enemy units in base contact with the Jötunn suffers:
● -3 Agility to a minimum of 1.
● -1 Armour to a minimum of 0.
● -1 Armour Penetration to a minimum of 0.
Universal Rule.
The model gains Åsklander Battle Fever and Shield.
Flaming Attacks must reroll successful to-wound rolls against the model.
Inanimate - Melee
Model parts with Inanimate cannot make Close Combat Attacks and cannot use Shooting Weapons. Shooting Weapons carried by model parts with Inanimate can be used by other model parts of the same model (as long as they do not have Harnessed or Inanimate).
Universal Rule
The Åsklander Chief gains +2 Attack Value and may take Special Items for an additional 50 pts.
Units composed entirely of models with Light Troops are allowed to make any number of Reforms when performing Advance Moves or March Moves. They are allowed to shoot even if they Marched or Reformed. No model can end its movement with its centre further away than its March Rate from its starting position, around any obstructions (including the Unit Spacing rule). This means that when checking the distance travelled by a model, check the path the model would have taken if it was alone, with the exception that the unit as a whole cannot break the Unit Spacing rule while performing the move. If a model performed any action during the movement (such as a Sweeping Attack), the distance moved is counted from its starting position to the point on the Battlefield where it performed that action and then to its final position.
If more than half the models in a unit have Light Troops, the unit always counts as having 0 Full Ranks. Characters with Light Troops that are joined to units with one or more models without Light Troops, lose this rule for as long as they remain with the unit. An Infantry Character joined to an Infantry unit with both Light Troops and the same Size as the Character gains Light Troops for as long as it remains with the unit.
Universal Rule.
The model gains Ambush. During step 8 of the Pre-Game Sequence, nominate a unit of Åsklanders, Huskarls, or Berserkers that includes no more than 30 models if Åsklanders and no more than 20 models if Huskarls or Berserkers. This unit gains Ambush, with the following exceptions:
• The model with Longship Raid must either be deployed in this unit or Ambush in this unit.
• Units using Longship Raid do not roll for Ambush but automatically enter the Battlefield in the owner’s second Player Turn.
• All units using Longship Raid must arrive from the same Board Edge.
- Knows 4 spells.
- Can select from the Learned Spells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army.
The Wizard gains Channel (1) and a +1 modifier to its casting rolls, and selects its spells as described in Spell Selection
.
A Marauding Giant wielding a Tribal Warspear and following the rules for War Platform may additionally join Infantry units that include at least one Åsklander or Huskarl model.
If the model is upgraded with Monstrous Familiar, it must select one of the following spells: Raven’s Wing (Witchcraft), Cleansing Fire (Thaumaturgy), or Frostbite (Hereditary Spell).
The model gains Tall and can never be joined or join a unit (unless it is a War Platform). A model with Towering Presence increases its Rally Around the Flag and Commanding Presence ranges by 6".
Attack Attribute - Close Combat.
Whenever the model loses a Health Point, it gains +1 Attack Value. Whenever it gains a Health Point, it suffers -1 Attack Value.
Follows the rules for Shields (can be enchanted as if it was a Shield). In addition, if the unit has at least 2 Full Ranks and more than half of its models have Round Shields, all models of Standard Height in the unit gain +1 Armour in the First Round of Combat and against Ranged Attacks.
Special Attack.
At the model part’s Initiative Step, the owner may choose an enemy unit Engaged in Combat that the model part is able to attack with Close Combat Attacks.
If so, this unit suffers a hit, which is resolved with Strength 5 and Armour Penetration 10, and the model part may not perform any Close Combat Attacks.
Special Attack.
A unit with at least one model with Skinning Lash can make a Sweeping Attack against a single unengaged enemy unit when passing within 1″(it does not need to and cannot move through or over that unit). The enemy unit suffers 1 hit with Strength 4 and Armour Penetration 0 for each model with Skinning Lash in the unit. A unit that loses one or more Health Points due to the Skinning Lash Sweeping Attack suffers −1 Discipline until the end of its next Player Turn.
Universal Rule.
At the start of each friendly Player Turn, each unengaged non-fleeing unit with one or more models with Stupid must take a Discipline Test. If the test is failed, all models in the unit become Shaken until the end of the Player Turn, and in the Movement Phase, immediately after Rallying Fleeing units, the unit must move D6" directly forward, stopping 1" before Impassible Terrain or other units.
