WHFB - Supplement Storm of Magic 1.0

Welcome to Storm of Magic, a brand new way of playing Warhammer, the game of fantasy battles.
This is
an expansion to the Warhammer rulebook, and it allows you to take your collection of Citadel miniatures
to battle within the maelstrom of a magical tempest.
Storms of magic are cataclysmic events that unleash arcane energies in boundless proportions. As the
Winds of Magic rise to gale force, armies of every realm march out to seize the unbridled power, or at the
very least, to deny their foes from doing the same. A Storm of Magic game allows players to:
HARNESS UNTOLD POWER

A storm of magic unleashes untold volumes of raw power, and Wizards can corral such energies to fuel
their spells. Indeed, so great is the influx of the Winds of Magic that a range of new and especially
devastating spells can be attempted. Spells of titanic force will blaze across the battlefield like never
before.
BIND MONSTERS
When the Winds of Magic rise, monsters are stirred to action, slithering out of darksome lairs or soaring
from rocky eyries. With the abundance of magical energy during such storms, Wizards can summon
monsters to the battlefield, mystically forcing them to fight alongside any army. Some prefer a darker path
still, sealing pacts with Undead and Daemonic forces.
WIELD LEGENDARY MAGIC ITEMS

Some magic items draw their strength from the Winds of Magic - waxing and waning with the flux of that
unpredictable source. During a storm of magic, some powerful items become infused with outrageous
powers - able to split mountainsides or single-handedly smite entire regiments.
CAPTURE MAGICAL FULCRUMS

The best place for a Wizard to tap into the power unleashed by a storm of magic is from atop an Arcane
Fulcrum – one of the mystic pylons summoned forth by the raging tempest. A Wizard who controls an
Arcane Fulcrum can shift the Winds of Magic to ensure his lore is in ascendancy, thereby gaining ever
greater power. Claiming the fulcrums is the ultimate goal of the battle, as the winner of the game is the
side that can claim the majority of the monuments.
Of course, if you use the power provided by the Arcane Fulcrums to annihilate every enemy model
during the course of the battle, you won't have to worry about the end of game victory conditions, but it's
still worth bearing in mind.

THE RULES
A battle fought during a storm of magic is unlike anything you will have seen before. Arcane Fulcrums
burst out of the ground or simply appear from nowhere. Each fulcrum is a mystical focus that allows a
Wizard to gain a small measure of control over the winds of magical energy that rage across the
battlefield. Claiming the fulcrums allows the Wizard to cast cataclysmically powerful spells that previously
would have been impossible for him to use.
Vast magical energies swirl round fulcrums during a storm of magic and trigger latent powers in magical
artefacts that are nearby, making already powerful items even more destructive and dangerous. It is only
at such times that the magical Scrolls of Binding, created by the great sorcerer Kadon, can be used,
allowing Wizards to bind monstrous creatures to their will and use them to defeat their foes in battle.
The fulcrums offer immense power to anyone who controls them, and because of this it is very common
for huge battles to be fought over them. Mighty armies will converge at locations where fulcrums have
burst or flickered into existence, and soon the ground will run red with blood as each side seeks to drive
the opposing army from the field.
The rules that follow will allow you to include all of these things and more in the Warhammer battles that
you fight. First of all we describe the Storm of Magic scenario, which you can use instead of the Pitched
Battles that appear in the Warhammer rulebook. The Storm of Magic scenario is based on a battle
between two armies who are vying to control several arcane fulcrums. It describes how to set up the
battlefield, which special rules you need to use, and how to determine the winner.
After the scenario are several new rules sections, which explain how to use Arcane Fulcrums, Mythic
Artefacts, Cataclysm spells and bound monsters in a Storm of Magic battle. Each rules section adds
exciting new elements to your games of Warhammer, allowing you to field new unit and take spells or
magic items more powerful than any you have ever used before.
All in all, Storm of Magic takes your games of Warhammer to a whole new level. You will find your skills
as an army general challenged as never before in a battle that will see the powerful magic’s and monstrous
creatures of the Warhammer world unleashed in all their fury. Will you be able to weather the storm?

STORM OF MAGIC SCENARIO
THE ARMIES
Each player chooses his force using the army list from a Warhammer army book, to an equal points value
agreed before the game. In addition, each player can spend an extra 25% of that value again on Scrolls of
Binding, Pacts and Mythic Artefacts that are unique to games of Storm of Magic - this is sometimes
referred to as the Monsters and Magic allowance.
For example, if you've agreed to play a 2,000 point game, both players have an extra 500 points to spend
on bound monsters, Pacts and Mythic Artefacts; if you’ve agreed to play a 2,500 point game, both players
have an extra 625 points to spend on 'monsters and magic', and so on.
Mythic Artefacts
All races and realms have hordes of magical items. Most such artefacts are enchanted to work in the
everyday levels of magic that permeate the Warhammer world, but some are so powerful that they don’t
come to life until a storm of magic takes place – only Wild Magic can animate them. In a standard sized
army, you can take a maximum of one such mythic Artefact. In a grand army you can take a maximum of
two Mythic Artefacts.
SCROLLS OF BINDING
Scrolls of Binding are used to summon and control monsters and other savage creatures. They are
incredibly powerful, but the magic’s used to bind them are incredibly rare and difficult to duplicate. In a
standard army you can take a maximum of two of each Scroll of Binding. In a grand army you can take a
maximum of four of each Scroll of Binding.
PACTS
A Pact is a magical treaty a Wizard forms with an army of magical creatures, allowing him to call upon
Undead or Daemonic allies. Each army and grand army can only take one Pact.
THE BATTLEFIELD
Set up the battlefield as described in the Warhammer rulebook. When this has been done, divide the table
into four quarters by drawing one imaginary line between the midpoints of the short table edges and
another between the midpoints of the long table edges.
The players then place four Arcane Fulcrums. Roll off to see which player places the first one. No more
than one Arcane Fulcrum can be placed in each table quarter. Arcane Fulcrums must be positioned at
least 18" apart, and no closer than 6" to any table edge or the centre point of the board. Arcane Fulcrums
cannot be placed in impassable terrain.
There's No Room!
Depending on how the first three Arcane Fulcrums are placed, you might find it impossible to place the
fourth whilst observing the minimum distances set out above. Where this happens, you may move the
other Arcane Fulcrums by the minimum distance necessary to ensure that the last one can be placed. It
goes without saying that this caveat is intended to make the impossible possible, and shouldn't be
employed in order to gain an advantage over your opponent.
The Whites of Their Eyes...

Don't want to get charged in the first tum? Then place your half of the fulcrums to maximise the distance between your units
and those of the enemy. This will give you a little more time to shatter the foe with sorcery before the real cut and thrust of
battle begins.
Page 3

DEPLOYMENT
Now, roll off to see which player picks the half of the table he will deploy in. The player places a Wizard
(or Runesmith or Runelord) on each fulcrum in his table half His opponent then does the same in the
opposite half. If either player has insufficient Wizards to occupy the fulcrums in his table half, he must
choose which fulcrum(s) to occupy.
The remainder of the armies are then deployed using the rules for alternating deployment – roll off once
again to see who starts. Units can be placed anywhere on the table as long as all models are completely
within 12" of their board edge, or 6" of an Arcane Fulcrum occupied by a friendly Wizard. Any units that
cannot be placed enter play following the rules for reinforcements, arriving during the first turn in which
there is sufficient space.
Magical Mystery
When you’re deploying your forces, think carefully about which parts of your army will defend your fulcrums and which will
attack those held by the enemy. Different units excel in different roles, and their initial placement can prove crucial to success.
A World of Possibilities
You'll notice that the rules governing the Storm of Magic scenario are split into several different sections, with each governing
a different facet, such as the Arcane Fulcrums, Magical Flux and so on.
This makes it easy for you to increase the magical influence on other scenarios (such as the ones in the Warhammer
rulebook) by using one or more Storm of Magic special rules alongside any others that the scenario might already have. For
example, applying the Wild Magic special rule increases the number of power and dispel dice available to Wizards – a
simple tweak that will nonetheless have a profound effect
FIRST TURN
Roll off after deployment to see which player takes the first turn. The player that finished deploying his
army first adds +1 to the roll.
GAME LENGTH
The battle will last for six game turns, or until a time limit agreed by the players is reached, whichever
comes first.
VICTORY CONDITIONS
At the end of the game, the player who controls the most Arcane Fulcrums wins the battle If both players
control the same number of Arcane Fulcrums, use Victory Points (as described in the Warhammer
rulebook) to break the tie.
SCENARIO SPECIAL RULES

Magical Flux, Arcane Fulcrums, Wild Magic, Cantrips, Cataclysm spells.
DIFFERENT SIZED GAMES

The battlefield setup rules presented earlier assume that you're fighting over a battlefield between 5'x3'and
6'x4' in size.
You can easily play games of Storm of Magic on larger or smaller playing areas. In fact, doing so opens up
all kinds of strategies, challenges and opportunities to vanquish your foe.
Page 4

Small Battlefields (less than 5'x 3')
On playing areas of less than 5' x 3', only two Arcane Fulcrums are used. Divide the battlefield in two by
drawing an imaginary in between the centre of the two shortest board edges (or any two opposite edges if
you’re playing on a square board). One Arcane Fulcrum must be placed in each half of the board. In
games of this size, the fulcrums must be at least 9" apart, and 3" away from the battlefield edge.
Large Battlefields (larger than 6'x 4')

If playing on a larger battlefield, more fulcrums are used. To work out the number of fulcrums you need
to set up, look up the length of the longest battlefield edge on the table below:
Obviously, with so many fulcrums, you'll have to place more than one in some of the table quarters.
When playing a large-scale game) you cannot place more than one fulcrum in a single table quarter until
there is at least one fulcrum in all four table quarters. You then cannot place a third fulcrum in a table
quarter until all four quarters have at least two fulcrums, and so on. Furthermore, each long-edged half of
the table must have an equal number of Arcane Fulcrums in it once they have all been placed.

Start Slow, Build Big

The Storm of Magic scenario already provides quite a few special rules and some truly titanic new spells to try, so players will
already have a lot on their minds. Adding further variety can make for really enjoyable (and crazily memorable) battles, but
be careful not to bog your game down with too many additional rules.
A few simple twists to existing scenarios, or a new battle themed around the terrain or armies you have (or are aiming to
build) will give the best results.
Page 5

MAGICAL FLUX
When a storm of magic sweeps the Warhammer world, the Winds of Magic become more unpredictable than ever. They will
be wrathful and strong one moment, only to fade almost to nothingness within seconds. Such unpredictability can be a
Wizards greatest enemy and ally both - if he can time his spells correctly, he can harness the rage of an ascendant wind to
unleash unbelievably powerful spells.
RESOLVING MAGICAL FLUX

Magical Flux is resolved at the start of each Magic phase, before any other actions. To
Resolve Magical Flux, Roll a D8 and look to see which lores that turn are ascendant.
ASCENDANT LORES
If a spell lore is ascendant, Wizards receive a bonus to cast spells from that lore, though the bonus varies
depending on the type of spell 1ore.
Wizards receive:
A +5 bonus to cast spells from an ascendant Battle Magic lore.
A +4 bonus to cast spells from any ascendant secondary lore (this excludes Dark and High Magic)
A +3 bonus to cast spells from ascendant Dark Magic or ascendant High Magic.
These bonuses last until the end of the Magic phase. You'll notice when looking at the Wheel of Magic
that secondary lores are always tied to two Battle Magic lores so, although they receive less benefit from
ascendancy, they have a greater chance of being ascendant. Similarly, regardless of which Battle Magic
lore is ascendant, either Dark or High Magic will always be ascendant.
For example: The Wheel of Magic shows the Lore of Metal to be ascendant. Spells from the Lore of
Metal therefore receive +5 to cast. Spells from the other lore’s in that segment (High Magic, the Lore of
Tzeentch, and the Lore of the Vampires) also receive casting bonuses.
MANIPULATING MAGICAL FLUX

If your side controls one or more Arcane Fulcrums, your Wizards can tap into the eldritch energies of the
awesome edifices and thus influence the Magical F1ux. You may declare that you're going to manipulate
the Magical Flux directly after using the Wheel of Magic; declare a direction – either up or down. Then
roll a D3, and move up or down the chart in the direction you have nominated. If you get to the bottom
of the chart, continue moving down from the top of the chart and vice versa.

Page 7

WILD MAGIC
To represent the heightened flow of sorcerous energy, roll 4D6 to determine the Winds of Magic, rather
than the usual 2D6 - the casting player receives the sum of all the scores as power dice, the dispelling
player receives the sum of the two highest scores as dispel dice.
Furthermore, because Wild Magic saturates the ground itself, Wizards can use the bedrock of the
battlefield as a magic battery, vastly increasing the power they can draw upon. As a result, the limit on the
number of dice allowed in the power and dispel dice pools is increased to 24.
ARCANE FULCRUMS
For the Wizards of the Warhammer world, Arcane Fulcrums are terrible, complex and eldritch monoliths whose nature and
function have puzzled the finest minds for millennia. Happily for us, their rules are a lot more straightforward.
Any piece of suitable-looking sorcerous terrain can be an Arcane Fulcrum, so long as there's space to
place a model atop it. Agree with your opponent which pieces of terrain in your collection will be used to
represent them, before you set up the batt1efield. By default, it's best to ignore any special rules those
terrain pieces ordinarily have, assuming them to be replaced by the Arcane Fulcrum rules instead.
However, feel free to use both sets of rules if you wish!
An Arcane Fulcrum is treated as a building, with the following exceptions and additions:
 Only one model can occupy an Arcane Fulcrum, and that model must be a Wizard (or a
Runesmith or Runelord). If a model occupies the fulcrum, place him on top of it. Unlike other
buildings, a model of any troop type, or with any type of mount, can occupy the Arcane Fulcrum,
provided he can fit on top. Whilst the model occupies the fulcrum he is considered to 'control' it.
 The Arcane Fulcrum is protected by powerful enchantments. Except where explicitly stated, a
fulcrum can never be destroyed. Furthermore, a model occupying an Arcane Fulcrum benefits
from the same protections as the fulcrum itself, accordingly, he receives a 3+ ward save and has
the Stubborn and Immune to Psychology special rules, and is immune to the Multiple Wounds
special rule. The model receives additional protection too, as described in the buildings rules in
the Warhammer rulebook.
 If the Arcane Fulcrum is charged, the occupying model must fight. However, due to the raging
sorceries and protective wards of the fulcrum, only one model (of any troop type) from the
attacking unit can fight.
 A model who controls an Arcane Fulcrum cannot be targeted by Stomps or Thunderstomps (he's
too high up to be easily trod upon).
 A Wizard who miscasts whilst controlling an Arcane Fulcrum is tempting fate in a very serious
way indeed. As a result, he must not only roll on the standard Miscast table in the Warhammer
rulebook but, after he has done so, must also roll on the Arcane Fulcrum Miscast table. Other
Wizards use the standard Miscast table as normal.
If the Wizard dies as part of the spell's effect, you do not roll on the Miscast table. Similarly, if
the Wizard dies as a result of the first Miscast result, you do not roll on the Arcane Fulcrum
Miscast table.
 A Runesmith or Runelord on an Arcane Fulcrum counts as a Wizard for the purposes of
resolving results on the Arcane Fulcrum Miscast table.
 Finally, control of Arcane Fulcrums empowers Cataclysm spells and certain Mythic Artefacts,
dramatically increasing their effectiveness.
Page 8

CANTRIPS
Over the centuries, wizards have learned the importance of Arcane Fulcrums and so have
perfected spells that can only be employed in their presence.
Every wizard knows intrinsically that Arcane Fulcrums hold the keys to true magical domination. If magic
is a fickle mistress in times of calm, then it is doub11, s6 during a supernatural storm. Once a Wizard has
claimed a fulcrum, he can command sorceries of such terrible potency that the very earth shakes at each
syl1ab1e of his invocation. Etheric entities whisper subtle words of encouragement in his ear, goading
him to ever greater feats of sorcery, or distracting him with dark promises. For if his spell goes awry, the
consequences will be dire indeed, and the wizard's very soul could be forfeit. So it is that Arcane
Fulcrums are all at once a great prize, a fuel for the mightiest sorceries, and a curse for the unwary.
USING CANTRIPS
All Wizards in a game of Storm of Magic know the following spells, or 'Cantrips'. Unlike regular spells,
Cantrips can never be forgotten or destroyed for any reason.
Magical Duel Cast on 3+

The wizard engages his foe in a magical duel, hoping to drive him from the font of power
Magical Duel is a direct damage spell. It targets an enemy Wizard occupying an Arcane Fulcrum within
24". Both caster and target roll 2D6 and add their own unmodified Leadership value. The Wizard with
the highest Wizard level adds +1 to his total. A Runesmith or Runelord counts his level as 0. If the caster
has the highest score, or the scores are drawn, the target must immediately abandon his Arcane Fulcrum,
as described for leaving buildings, and then suffers a single Strength 10 hit. Additionally, if the caster has
the highest score, he can immediately occupy the now vacant Arcane Fulcrum (as long as he fits!). If the
target has the highest score) nothing happens.
Transagar's Transportation Cast on 3+

Intoning four words of teleportation, the wizard vanishes from the battlefield, reappearing to steal a fulcrum from beneath, the
foe's nose.
Transagar's Transportation is an augment spell that can only be cast by a Wizard occupying an Arcane
Fulcrum and can only target himself. Remove the Wizard from the battlefield and replace him on any
unoccupied Arcane Fulcrum. If this effect causes a unit to now be assaulting an empty fulcrum, simply
nudge the assaulting unit 1" backwards from the fulcrum.
Unbind Monster Cast on 3+

Binding spells are powerful and complicated things, but a student of the arcane can disrupt them with cantrips of his own.
Unbind Monster is a hex spell that targets a single bound monster, or unit of bound monsters within 24"
Roll a D6 on the following table to see how the target reacts:
Page 9

UNBIND MONSTER CHART
1. I Would Have Done It Anyway! The target momentarily snaps free of is bindings... and doesn't care!
Nothing happens.
2. Yum! Food. Though momentary nonplussed, the target soon remembers all of the tasty snacks-on-legs running
around nearby, and returns to the serious business of reaping the bounty.
The target gains the Frenzy special rule, and can never lose its Frenzy.
3. Confused but Willing. The target is suddenly free to think for itself but decides to keep fighting (albeit dull-
wittedly) for its unintended master.
The target fights on as normal, but is now subject to the rules for Stupidity for the remainder of
the battle.
4. Glimmerings of Awareness. The target doesn't quite break free, but becomes aware that the creatures it
previously thought its friends probably aren't anything of the sort.
The target cannot benefit from Inspiring Presence or Hold Your Ground for the rest of the
game.
5. This Not Nog's Home! Nog Go Home Now. The target takes one look at the carnage around it and
decides to leave the little two legged things to their own devices and go home.
Remove the target from play as a casualty
6. Maddened and Berserk. The target descends into a state of fury, lashing out at everyone nearby.
The target gains the Frenzy; Hatred and Unbreakable special rules. Also, for the remainder of the
game, the target has the Random Movement (2D6) special rule - models with the Swiftstride
special rule instead have Random Movement (3D6) special rule.
Furthermore, the target always moves towards the closest unit (friend or foe). If it moves into
contact with a unit, it counts as charging, as described for Random Movement in the
Warhammer rulebook, and will fight the unit in close combat. If the other unit breaks from
combat, the target will always pursue. Both sides now treat the target as an 'enemy unit' that acts
in its original owner's turn.
Page 10

ARCANE FULCRUM MISCAST TABLE
2-3 Earth-shattering Kaboom! The Arcane Fulcrum explodes ii a shower of rock, energy and solidified magic.
All units within D6" of the Arcane Fulcrum the Wizard is on suffer 2D6 Strength l0 hits. Remove the Wizard (and
his Arcane Fulcrum) from play
4 Magical Eclipse. A thick, magical darkness descends on the battlefield.
Roll 4D6 to determine the limit of vision. Units can no longer declare charges at, shoot at, cast spells at or otherwise
target enemies that are more than this distance, in inches, away. Essentially, all ranges of special rules, weapons,
spells and so on, with ranges longer than the distance rolled are reduced to the distance rolled. Magical Vortexes
spells, special rules that do not have a range, or affect the entire battlefield, are unaffected by the eclipse. At the start
of each subsequent Magic phase, roll 4D6. If any double is rolled, the magical eclipse clears and the limit of vision
returns to normal - Otherwise this roll is the new limit of vision. The magical eclipse will also automatically clear if
another miscast is rolled (although the miscast result might call for it to be replaced by another magical eclipse).
5 I Think I'm Feeling a Little Odd... An amazing transformation has occurred.
All wizards on the battlefield (friendly and enemy,) are immediately transformed into frogs. Whilst transformed, a
model cannot channel or cast spells, all of his magic items and other equipment (armour, weapons, etc.) temporarily
stop working and all of his characteristics are reduced to 1 (except for his Wounds, which are unaffected). At the
start of each subsequent Magic phase, the controlling player can roll a D6 for each model thus transformed; the
effect dissipates on a roll of 4+ and the model returns to his normal form. Mounts are unaffected.
6 Spatial Displacement. The wizard's Arcane fulcrum blinks out of existence, only to reappear elsewhere.
The Arcane Fulcrum scatters 6D6" in a random direction. If this would cause the fulcrum to be placed on, or within
1" of a unit, a terrain feature other than a hill, in impassable terrain, or off the board then increase or decrease the
scatter distance along its displacement vector by the smallest amount necessary so that it doesn't.
7 Vwoorp! The Wizard's Arcane Fulcrum inexplicably swaps places with another.
Randomly select another Arcane Fulcrum on the battlefield and remove it (and any Wizard controlling it) from
play, replacing it with the miscasting Wizard and his fulcrum. Then, return the removed Arcane Fulcrum (and its
Wizard) to play in the exact spot just vacated. If this effect causes a unit to now be assaulting a fulcrum controlled
by a unit on the same side, or an empty fulcrum simply nudge the assaulting unit 1 " backwards from the fulcrum.
However if the two fulcrums are so wildly different in size that one or both cannot fit in the other's footprint,
simply swap the Wizards over rather than moving the fulcrums.
8 Raaaaarrgh! The wizard is transformed into a rampaging monster!
The Wizard takes an altered state in which he can no longer use magic items, cast spells, channel or make dispel
attempts, nor can he control an Arcane Fulcrum, so he must immediately - exit the fulcrum as if it were the
Movement phase. If he is unable to leave, remove him as a casualty. However, due to his magic-fuelled state, the
Wizard increases all of his characteristics by D3, except for Attacks (which stays the same) and Leadership (which
drops to 1). Make one roll and apply the result to all characteristics. He also gains the Frenzy, Hatred, Unbreakable,
Unstable and Random Attacks (D6+3) special rules. As part of the process, the Wizard's mount (if any) is,
unfortunately. reduced to a fine red mist and removed as a casualty Roll a D6 at the start of each subsequent Magic
phase to see if the energy has bled away - on a roll of 6, the Wizard returns to normal (though any mount he had is
still dead. . . ). Any wounds suffered in his transformative state arc carried over (and this may kill him). This miscast
result is infinitely more entertaining if you swap the Wizard model for one a 'size category' larger (an infantry or war
beast model should be swapped for a monstrous model of the same type whilst a monstrous model should be
swapped for a monster model - Wizards that are already monsters are out of luck). If you do this then the Wizard
counts as the larger troop type for as long as he remains transformed, so he will get Stomps or Thunderstomps as
appropriate, etc.
9 Power Siphon. An enemy wizard harnesses a portion of the magical power and uses it to fuel one of his own spells.
Your opponent immediately nominates one of his Wizards (if he has one). That Wizard can immediately cast one of
his own spells with a casting value of up to 4D6 (roll, then choose from the eligible spells). The spell is automatically
cast, with no dispel attempt allowed. A Runesmith can attempt to empower a rune with 4D6
.
10 Did the World Move, or was it Just Me? Reality flickers for a moment, and suddenly everything is different...
Remove all Wizards occupying Arcane Fulcrums from play. Then, choose a Wizard (friendly or enemy) removed in
this fashion and randomly select an Arcane Fulcrum, returning the Wizard to play controlling the selected fulcrum.
Then choose another such Wizard and return him to play controlling a fulcrum randomly selected from those that
remain unoccupied, and so on, until all Wizards removed from play have been returned to play. If this effect causes
any units to be assaulting an unoccupied fulcrum or one controlled by a friendly unit, simply, nudge the assaulting
unit 1 " backwards.
11-12 Really Wild Magic! The magic snaps free of the casters control!
Add 2D6 dice to both your power pool and the opponent's dispel pool (roll separately for each).
Page 11

CATACLYSM SPELLS
Cataclysm spells are the mightiest spells in existence - so mighty indeed that only the wild energies of a
storm of magic enable them to be cast.
In a game of Storm of Magic, Wizards know Cataclysm spells in addition to their normal allocation.
Regardless of type, Cataclysm spells cannot be exchanged for other spells in the same lore. Furthermore,
Cataclysm spells cannot be forgotten, erased or otherwise destroyed over the course of a game. If a rule
calls for a Cataclysm spell to be destroyed in this manner, simply ignore the effect - some knowledge
simply cannot be unlearned.
Most Cataclysm spel1s are extensions to the existing spell lore’s, and benefit from the lore attribute of
their parent lore in the usual manner. Any Wizard who generates one or more of their spells from the lore
in question will also know any Cataclysm spells associated with that lore. Others, and these are clearly
marked, are not associated with particular spell lore, but rather with races and realms and, by extension,
the armies that fight for those races and realms (these spells can be found on page 49). Unless otherwise
stated, all Wizards chosen from the relevant Warhammer army book know all of the spells associated with
that army. Furthermore, all Wizards know the Seven Secret Sigils of Summoning spell, presented
opposite.
CASTING CATACLYSM SPELLS
For the most part, Cataclysm spells function exactly like normal spells - they have a casting value, a range
and so on. Most of them will also have a spell type. However, Cataclysm spells require your army to
control one or more Arcane Fulcrums - only with this extra influx of eldritch energy can such mighty
magic’s be brought to bear.
Presence level spells are the weakest of all Cataclysm spells, but even they are much more powerful than
the ordinary run of magic. Presence levels spells can only be cast if you control one or more Arcane
Fulcrums.
Next in power are the Equilibrium level spells. These can summon destructive vortices, raise mountains
from the bare earth or summon armies of the dead. Equilibrium level spells can only be cast if you
control at least one Arcane Fulcrum and your opponent controls no more than you do.
Finally, Dominance level spells are the most powerful of all. They can bring units back from the dead or
destroy them utterly, create loops of time, summon Dragons or call upon the rage of the gods themselves.
Dominance spells can only be cast if you control at least one Arcane Fulcrum, and control more than
your opponent does.
CATACLYSM SPE LLS, IRRESISTIBLE FORCE, MISCASTS AND
AUTOMATIC DISPELS
Due to the massive and complex energies involved, Cataclysm spells can never be cast with irresistible
force - Wizard must always equal or beat the casting value. That said, a roll of two or more 6s will still
cause a miscast as, if anything, Cataclysm spells are slightly more unstable than other sorceries.
For much the same reason, magic items and special rules that automatically dispel – Dispel Scrolls are the
most common example, but there are many more throughout Warhammer - cannot be used against
Cataclysm spe1ls. You must dispel such sorceries through conventional means: by equalling or beating
the casting result with your dispel attempt. Note that other magic items and special rules used in place of
a dispel attempt (such as Sivejir's Hex Scroll, for example) function as normal.
RUNESMITHS AND RUNELORDS
Naturally, Dwarfs do not have access to any Cataclysm spells. That is not to say that they are entirely
without ability during a storm of magic.
Indeed, it is only at these dire times that their fabled Ancestor Runes can be unleashed - you'll find more
about these on pages later.

NEW SPELL TYPE: SUMMONING
Summoning spells create allies or constructs from the stuff of magic itself, or else draw creatures from
magical dimensions and bind them to the caster's will.
Summoning spells always target a point on the battlefield, and that point need not lie in the caster's line of
sight or forward arc. It should go without saying that if you don't have the appropriate models for the
Summoning spell, then you can't cast the spell
Summoned Units
When placing a summoned unit, it must be wholly within the spell's range and must be at .east 1" away
from impassable terrain and other units. It can be placed facing in any direction, and in any formation.
The unit's front rank must contain at least five models, unless the troop type is monstrous infantry beasts
or cavalry, in which case it must contain at least three models. If insufficient models are summoned, make
the front rank as large as possible. Summoned units are normally created with only their default
equipment and count as having moved in the turn they arrive. Note that summoned units cannot be
dispelled – once they've arrived, you have to kill them! Likewise, if the summoned unit cannot be placed
because there is not enough room, it is immediately removed from play as a casualty.
Summoned Terrain Features
Some spells summon woods, hil1s or other terrain features. Unlike summoned units, summoned terrain
features can be placed within 1" of, or even on top of, other units – simply place the units in (or on) the
terrain feature without changing their facing or formation.
Summoned terrain features can be placed on other terrain features, but not if this would look silly - a
tower on top of a hill should be fine, as would some obstacles in a newly created wood, but a hill on top
of a tower would look ridiculous, and is therefore not allowed. Terrain features cannot hang off the edge
of the tabletop or be balanced in a precarious fashion. As usual, a little common sense goes a long way. If
the summoned feature cannot be suitably placed, it is destroyed and has no effect on the game.
Seven Secret Sigils of Summoning Cast on 25+

Presence. The wizard creates a portal to elsewhere in the world, drawing through fresh troops to fight his foe. These
reinforcements are seldom summoned by consent, but part of the spell artifice binds them to the caster's will. At least for a
while. . .
The Seven Secret Sigils of Summoning is a summoning spell with a range of 12". It summons a single
unit, the size of which depends upon whether you have Presence, Equilibrium or Dominance. Presence
allows you a unit of up to 75 points, Equilibrium allows you a unit of up to 150 points, and Dominance
allows you a unit of up to 300 points. Unlike most summoning spells, this unit can take any upgrades to
which it is normally entitled, save for magic items. Special characters summoned this way will arrive with
their normal equipment, including any magic items they have as default.
Summoned unit can be of any unit type save for Monster or Unique, and is chosen from one of the
following Warhammer army books: Beastmen, Bretonnia, Dark Elves, Dwarfs, Empire , High Elves,
Lizardmen, Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs & Goblins, Skaven, Warriors of Chaos and Wood Elves.
Units bound by this spe1l are particularly vulnerable to the Lore of Light, whose magic’s somehow
destabilise the arcane bonds. Any unit brought into play by the Seven Secret Signs of Summoning that is
successfully targeted by a spell cast from the Lore of Light (even those cast by friendly Wizards) suffers
2D6 Wounds, resolved in addition to and before other effects. These Wounds do not necessarily
represent physical damage, but rather members of the target unit 'snapping back' to wherever it was they
were summoned from.
Players should also note the following:
 Whilst you can choose your summoned unit before the spell is cast, it's a good idea to prepare a
shortlist of pre-calculated candidates before the game begins.
 Characters summoned by this spell cannot join other units.
 Units summoned via this spell do not follow the rules for allies - they are a loyal (if unwitting)
part of your army for as long as they remain.
 Units summoned via this spell do not award victory points under any circumstances.

the artillery dice is a misfire, centre the template on the caster and roll a scatter dice. The template then
moves D6" in the direction shown (if you roll a Hit use the little arrow shown on the Hit! symbol).
Any model under or passed over by the template suffers a Strength 10 hit. Furthermore, if the dice roll
for movement (in either of the cases above) is 2 or 4, then at the end of the Magma Storm's move, centre
D3 small round templates on it to represent eruptions - these then each scatter 2D6" (roll separately for
each). Models under the final position of these templates suffer a Strength 4 hit. The small templates do
not remain in p1ay.
In subsequent turns, the Magma Storm travels in a random direction and moves a number of inches equal
to the roll on an artillery dice (which can possibly generate eruptions). If a misfire is rolled in subsequent
turns, the Magma Storm collapses in upon itself and is removed.

incurred by the casting. If the enemy has more units than you, he must immediately remove sufficient
units as casualties until you each have an equal number of units. Then, if he has more characters than you,
he must remove sufficient characters as casualties until you each have an equal number of characters.

SPELLS OF THE LITTLE WAAAGH!
Sneaky Distraction Cast on 10+
Presence. The caster cackles maniacally and prances with even more energy than usual. Phrases such as ‘Ooooo, lookit
over there,' or 'Can yer believe da size of that 'un?' are screeched shrilly while the Shaman gesticulates madly and points with
more than wild abandon.
Sneaky Distraction is a hex spell with a range of 24". The target unit suffers a -1 penalty on all To Hit
rolls both in shooting and combat until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. Additionally, if the
target unit is not engaged in close combat, the casting player can rotate the unit to face any direction he
chooses (although he cannot rotate the unit so that its final position is within 1" of another unit or
impassable terrain).
Sneaky Distraction Cast on 15+

Equilibrium. The Sharman conjures a pair of great green hands, one of which binds the chosen enemy in a vice-like grip,
whilst the other rifles through the victims possessions in search of anything shiny enough to be worth stealing.
Nikkit! Nikkit! is a direct damage spell that targets a single enemy character within 24”. The target
suffers a number of Wounds equal to D6 minus his own Toughness - armour saves cannot be taken.
Regardless of whether or not the target is slain, the caster steals one magic item of his choice from the
target. If the caster does not already have a magic item of this type he can now use it, otherwise it is
destroyed.
The Great Green Spite Cast on 20+

Dominance. The caster brings to focus all the spite of nearby greenskins. This, naturally, manifests itself into quite a
nasty curse.
The Great Green Spite is a hex spell that targets all enemy units within 24". The targets are hit
automatically by all close combat attacks until the start of the caster's next Magic phase.
WOOD ELVES
All Wood Elf Wizards know the following spell. This spell is considered to be a High Magic spell.
Madrigal of Greening Cast on 10+

Presence. The Spellweaver casts acorns of the ages across the battlefield. As each acorn strikes the ground, a mighty tree
springs up - an outpost of Athel Loren in this foreign land.
Madrigal of Greening is a summoning spell with a range of 48". Place D3-1 mysterious forests (to a
minimum of 1) within the spell's maximum range - use a Citadel Wood or other suitable terrain piece of
similar size. Any models under these forests are placed within them (in the same formation, facing, etc.)
Verdurous Harmony Cast on 25+

Equilibrium. At a simple word of command, spring comes again to the Wood Elves, and with it renewal.
Verdurous Harmony is an augment spell that targets all friendly units within 72" of a wood. Roll 2D6 -
all targets immediately recover that many Wounds worth of models, as described for the Regrowth spell
in the Lore of Life.
Page 26

SPELLS OF PLAGUE
Air of Pestilence Cast on 20+
Presence. The caster hacks out a cloud that magically spreads and befilths a wide area. All who breathe in is pestilent
airs seem to shrivel and weaken, their bodies sagging.
Air of Pestilence is a hex spell that targets all enemy units within 24". All targets halve their Toughness
(rounding fractions up) until the start of the caster's next Magic phase.
Weeping World Sores Cast on 25+
Equilibrium. At the Plague Priest’s wretched word, the world itself begins to bubble and boil with toxic pas.
Weeping World Sores is a summoning spell. Place a marsh, no more than 6" in diameter, anywhere
within 24" of the caster. Models that would be under the marsh are now placed on top of it, without
changing formation, facing etc. Any model moved in this way must pass a Toughness test or be removed
as a casualty with no saves of any kind allowed. Furthermore, at the end of every subsequent Magic phase,
any model in the marsh must pass a Toughness test or be removed as a casualty with no saves of any kind
allowed.
The Great Red Pox Cast on 30+
Dominance. The caster vomits forth a crimson mist that rapidly spreads across the battlefield, causing an instantaneous
eruption of fist-sized boils and then a most painful death.
The Great Red Pox targets all units within 24" of the caster. Friendly and enemy units are normally
affected on a D6 roll of 4+, but Clan Pestilens units (friendly or enemy) are affected on a 5+. Each model
in each affected unit must pass a Toughness test or be removed as a casualty with no saves of any kind
allowed.
SPELLS OF RUIN
Warpstorm Cast on 20+
Presence. Clouds roil overhead angrily discharging greenish-black bolts of warp lightning.
Warpstorm targets all units (friends and enemies) within 24" of the caster, excluding the caster and his
unit (if any). Roll a D6 for each targeted unit, with enemy units affected on a 4+ and friendly units
affected on a 6+. A1l affected units suffer D6 Strength 5 hits.
Pit of the Underworld Cast on 20+
Equilibrium. The caster strains his mind to open a great rent in the earth. The target site begins to shake until the
ground gives way to a vast pit that drops into blackness below.
Pit of the Underworld causes a great pit to open anywhere on the battlefield. Place a suitable marker over
the exact spot affected - a coin is ideal. Roll a D6 at the start of each subsequent Magic phase. On a score
of 5+, the pit opens. The large template is, centred over the marker. Any unit touched by the template
must pass an Initiative test or be removed as a casualty. Any buildings touched will collapse as described
in the Rainer of the Wrought. Finally, remove the template and marker.
Verminous Ruin Cast on 25+
Dominance. The caster summons a living tide of voracious rats that scurry forth across the battlefield.
Remains in play. Verminous Ruin is a magical vortex that uses the large round template. Once the
template is placed, the player nominates the direction in which the Verminous Ruin will move. Roll 3D6 -
the template moves that far, in inches. If the result of the 3D6 roll contains two or more 1s, instead
centre the template on the caster. The template then moves D5" in the direction shown on the roll of a
scatter dice (if you roll a Hit! use the little arrow shown on the Hit! symbol).
Any model under or moved over by the template suffers a Strength 3 hit.
In subsequent turns, Verminous Ruin moves 3D6" in a random direction. If two or more ls are rolled,
then the vermin scatter and the template is removed from play. If, at any point when the template moves,
a total of 13 is rolled on the dice, the template is removed from play after it has completed its move and a
Vermin Lord is summoned within 13" of the final resting spot of the template.
Page 27

THE LORE OF TZEENTCH
None revel in the unpredictable storms of magic as much as the servants of Tzeentch. All Wizards who
know one or more spells from the Lore of Tzeentch or the Daemon Lore of Tzeentch know these
Cataclysm spells.
Invisible Fire of Tzeentch Cast on 20+

Presence. There are some colours so vile that only madmen can see them. Tzeentch’s whispered teachings can allow a
Wizard to harness these invisible fires, and they burn like no mortal blaze can.
Invisible Fire of Tzeentch is a magic missile with a range of 24". It inflicts 3D6 Strength 2D6 hits with
the Flaming Attacks special rule. If the result of the 2D6 roll is 1l or 12, hits from Invisible Fire of
Tzeentch wound automatically and do not allow armour saves.
Daemonfire Vortex Cast on 25+

Equilibrium. A prismatic haze erupts from the Wizard's hand and rages across the battlefield, consuming everything in
its path.
Remains in play. Daemonfire Vortex is a magical vortex that uses the large round template. Once the
template is placed, the player then nominates the direction in which Daemonfire Vortex will move. Roll
an artillery dice and multiply the result by 2 - this is how far the template moves, in inches. If the result on
the artillery dice is a misfire, centre the template on the caster and roll a scatter dice. The template then
moves D6" in the direction shown (if you roll a Hit! use the little arrow shown on the Hit! symbol). Any
model under or passed over by the Daemonfire Vortex template suffers a Wound on a 4+ with no
armour saves allowed.
In subsequent turns, Daemonfire Vortex moves in a random direction and moves a number of inches
equal to the roll on an artillery dice plus the number of unsaved Wounds the Daemonf.re Vortex has
caused since it was cast. If a misfire is rolled in subsequent turns, Daemonfi.re Vortex collapses in upon
itself and is removed
THE LORE OF NURGLE

The foul, pestilent spells of Nurgle are imbued with greater vile virulence during a storm of magic. All
Wizards who know one or more spells from the Lore of Nurgle or the Daemon Lore of Nurgle know
these Cataclysm spells.
Rotbomb Cast on 10+

Equilibrium. A host of tiny Daemon-mites burst from the wizard's gaping mouth. Giggling with glee, they swarm, over
the foe's armour; devouring it hungrily.
Rotbomb is a hex spell with a range of 24". The target unit immediately acquires a -3 penalty to armour
save rolls for the rest of the game. Furthermore, all other units (friendly or enemy) within 6" of the target
unit immediately acquire a -1 penalty to their armour save rolls for the rest of the game. Modifiers from
Rotbomb are cumulative with other armour save modifiers.
Grandfather Nurgle's Circle of Life Cast on 25+

Equilibrium. Devotees of Nurgle insist that there is a fragment of the Plaguefather in every living thing. A wizard who
casts this spell will discover the truth of the matter,
Grandfather Nurgle's Circle of Life is a direct damage spell with a range of 36". It inflicts 5D6 hits on
the target that wound on a 4+, with no armour saves allowed. If at least 10 unsaved Wounds are caused,
the spell also summons a Great Unclean One (if the caster is a Daemon of Chaos) or a Daemon Prince
with the Mark of Nurgle (if the caster is a Chaos Sorcerer) within 12" of the target (or the target's
position, if it was completely destroyed).
Page 28

THE LORE OF SLAANESH
The forbidden sorceries of Slaanesh are all the more tempting when the Winds of Magic are at their peak.
All Wizards who know one or more spells from the Lore of Slaanesh or the Daemon Lore of Slaanesh
know these Cataclysm spells.
Slothful Stupor Cast on 5+

Presence. Though perhaps not the vice with which Slaanesh is mostly closely associated, sloth is just one more form of
excess for the Prince of Chaos and his chosen wizards to feed upon. No natural malaise is this, but a derp and abiding
spiritual ennui that saps all sense of purpose and enthusiasm from the victim.
Remains in play. Slothful Stupor is a hex spell with a range of 24". For the duration of the spell, the target
is reduced to Leadership 2, gains the Stupidity special rule and cannot benefit from a General's Inspiring
Presence rule, nor a Battle Standard Bearer's Hold Your Ground! Special rule.
Song of Seduction Cast on 20+

Presence. Every man has his price; even if he knows it not, and Slaanesh's capering wizards can divine and manipulate
such things whilst magic flows strong.
Remains in play. Song of Seduction is a hex spell with a range of 24". For the duration of the spell,
models in the target unit must reduce their Leadership by 2, and immediately change loyalties - you can
control this unit as if it were part of your army for as long as the spel1 lasts. If the target is in close
combat, separate the units by 1" (you may have to shuffle several units to make this work - this is fine, so
long as you don’t gain an unfair advantage from it).
Characters in the unit can attempt to resist the spell by passing a Leadership test when the spell is
successfully cast - if the character succeeds, the controlling player removes him from the unit and places
him within 3" of it, facing any direction.
At the end of each subsequent Magic phase, the unit will attempt to reassert its own will by taking a
Leadership test (on its modified Ld). If the test is passed, the spell is dispelled.
THE WRATH OF KHORNE

Ile Blood God despises sorcery, and loathes incantations that invoke his Dark Brothers more than any
other mortal artifice. While he bestows no spells to speak of, his contribution to a magical battle is
typically direct...
Should such a spell rouse Khorne's ire, he is wont to vent his wrath on the mortal world, to remind all
creatures that the mightiest of the immortal Chaos Gods needs not resort to trickery to win his battles.
If one of the Cataclysm spells from the Lore of Tzeentch, Lore of Nurgle, or Lore of Slaanesh is miscast,
Khorne rises from his throne to hurl a brass skull onto the battlefield. This is resolved after the miscast
and is treated as a stone thrower shot, which does not scatter, aimed at the Wizard who miscast. If the
Wizard has already been slain by the miscast it is aimed at the point he occupied
Page 29

ANCESTOR RUNES
As beings distrustful of sorcery at the best of times, the Dwarfs look upon storms of magic with even less
favour than other races. With no wizards to control the wild magic that gusts and howls through the
mountains, the Dwarfs have long learnt that the best way to survive such times is to seal the doors to
their holds, prepare the Runes of Spellbreaking, and wait for the storm to subside.
Yet such tactics are not suitable for every storm of magic - sometimes the Dwarfs must abandon their
isolationism, and venture beyond the mountains to protect their interests and holdings. On such
occasions do the Runesmiths descend to the deepest of hearth vaults, crack the seals upon great stone
doors and retrieve the Ancestor Runes.
The Ancestor Runes were forged thousands of years ago, and only the richest holds can boast more than
a handful. During ordinary times, these heirlooms lie inert, waiting for the Winds of Magic to rise and
give them life. Once awakened, an Ancestor Rune is empowered by drawing raw magic out of the air,
charging itself with power according to the desires of its creator. This charge normally takes many weeks
to build, but by placing an Ancestor Rune atop an Arcane Fulcrum, a Runesmith can hasten this process.
Only when the Ancestor Rune glows with a blinding light does the Runesmith strike down with his
hammer, discharging the energy within to strike his foes or invigorate his allies.
USING ANCESTOR RUNES

A Runesmith (this also includes Runelords) who occupies an Arcane Fulcrum can empower Ancestor
Runes during his own Magic phase. An Ancestor Rune's effect depends upon the character of the
ancestor in question. Each Runesmith can only attempt to empower each Ancestor Rune once per Magic
phase, but each Ancestor Rune has the potential to effect more than one unit, depending how successful
the Runesmith is.
CHOOSE ANCESTOR RUNE

Select one of your eligible Runesmiths and declare which of the Ancestor Runes he will empower. You'll
notice that each of the Ancestor Runes corresponds to a particular spell type and follows all the targeting
restrictions for the relevant type.
POWER DICE
When you've declared which Ancestor Rune you wish to use, choose how many dice you will use from
the power pool. Though the empowering of runes is not magic in the conventional sense, the rune still
draws power from the fulcrum, and thus the Winds of Magic.
Just like a Wizard casting a spell, a Runesmith can use up to six dice from the power pool when
attempting to empower an Ancestor Rune. The more dice you draw from the power pool, the more
powerful the rune's effect will be, but the more dangerous the act of empowering is for the Runesmith.
STRIKING THE RUNE

Now, take your chosen number of dice from the power pool, and roll them. For each power dice you roll,
the Runesmith gives the rune one mighty blow with his hammer. Results of 1, 2 and 3 are ignored - the
Runesmith has failed to unlock the rune's potential.
Each result of 4 or 5 is a successful striking. The rune's power has been successfully harnessed; however
enemy Wizards can attempt to drain the rune's power before it takes effect, as explained below.
Each result of 6 is an irresistible striking. This is a successful striking where the rune's power is unleashed
with such incredible force that no amount of magical defence can prevent it from taking effect - though
the Runesmith will likely suffer the consequences of releasing such unrestrained power.
Page 30

DRAINING RUNES
Before you resolve the effects of your successful striking’s, your opponent has one chance to drain the
power from your Ancestor Rune. Unlike a conventional dispel, he doesn't need to nominate whether one
of his Wizards or the army will make the attempt - there are no bonuses of any kind when attempting to
drain an Ancestor Rune's power, so it is quite irrelevant who makes the attempt. Each time an Ancestor
Rune is empowered, only one drain attempt can be made, so choose the number of dice carefully.
First, your opponent declares how many of his dispel dice he will use in his attempt to drain the rune.
There is no limit on the number of dice that can be used in this manner, though he must use at least one
dice from the pool.
Your opponent then takes the number of dice declared from his dispel pool and rolls them. For every
result of a 4 or more, the enemy drains the power from one of your successful striking’s, effectively
nullifying it and reducing your successful striking’s by one. Note, however that irresistible striking’s
cannot be drained in this manner - nothing can stay the fury of a properly struck Ancestor Rune!
Remember that magic items or special rules that give you bonuses of any kind to dispel dice or dispel
attempts do not affect attempts to drain runes.
IRRESISTIBLE STRIKING
If you rolled one or more 6s when striking the Ancestor Rune, the power that bursts forth is somewhat
more so than would normally be the case. You've already had the benefit of this, in the form of your
opponent not being able to drain the success, but now the Runesmith will have to cope with the side
effects: once the striking has been resolved, the Runesmith rolls on the Arcane Fulcrum Miscast table.
RESOLVING THE STRIKING

If, at this point, you are left with no successes at all, then the striking has failed - the Runesmith hangs his
head in shame and resolves to do better next time. If one or more successes remain, you can now resolve
the effect of the Ancestor Rune, as detailed in its entry. From this point onwards, the effects of the
Ancestor Rune follow all the rules for spe1l resolution, as given in the Warhammer rulebook.
Note that an empowering attempt from a single Runesmith can only target a unit once per Magic phase -
if you have more successful striking’s than eligible targets, any extras are lost. If multiple Runesmiths
empower the same Ancestor Rune in the same Magic phase, then they can each target each unit once
Page 31

ANCESTOR RUNES
The forgers of the Ancestor Runes were as proud of their craft as any Runesmith before or since, much
given to artful embellishment of their works. Although individual Ancestor Runes might differ in
appearance from hold to hold, the power they call down varies not one jot, as decreed by strict rules of
traditional runework. Karaz-a-Karak's Ancestor Runes of Grimnir are inset with filigreed dragon shapes,
whilst those of Barakk Varr are inlaid with silvered sea beasts. Yet when struck, they respond with
identical fury.
Ancestor Rune of Grungni

Grungni's rune inspires the smiting of foes and valour of arms.
The Ancestor Rune of Grungni is an augment rune with a range of 24” It targets a number of units
equal to the number of successful striking’s. Targets gain the Fight in Extra Ranks special rule and can re-
roil all failed To Hit rolls for both shooting and close combat attacks (war machines that do not roll to hit
receive no benefit). The effects of Ancestor Rune of Grungni last until the start of the Runesmiths next
Magic phase.
Ancestor Rune of Grimnir

It is said that when Grimnir's rune is struck, the ancestor himself seeks vengeance on the foe, smiting them with molten rock
torn from the belly of the earth.
The Ancestor Rune of Grimnir is a direct damage rune with a range of 24".It targets a number of units
equal to the number of successful striking’s. Each target suffers 2D6 Strength 4 hits.
Ancestor Rune of Valaya

When released from. the rune, Valaya’s blessing instils the Dwarfs with determination, lending new strength to the severely
wounded and fresh resolve to wavering hearts.
The Ancestor Rune of Valaya is an augment rune with a range of 24". It targets a number of units, equal
to the number of successful striking’s. Targets immediately regain D3 + 1 Wounds' worth of models, as
described for in the Regrowth spell in the Lore of Life. Targets also gain the Unbreakable special rule
until the start of the Runesmith's next Magic phase.
Page 32

MYTHIC ARTEFACTS
As magic flows wildly across the land, ancient artefacts crackle with fresh power. Some stir to life for the
first time in centuries. Others recover from a torporous state, once again taking on the full potential of
their initial forging.
Mythic Artefacts are magic items, albeit of an immensely powerful sort. They are famous throughout the
world, having come to prominence in the hands of legendary warlords.
SELECTING MYTHIC ARTEEACTS

An army can take up to one Mythic Artefact (a grand army up to two) using its Monsters and Magic
points allowance. Each item must be allocated to a different character in your army before armies are
deployed.
Note that Mythic Artefacts do not count towards your character's maximum allowance of magic items - a
Lord who already has 100 points' worth of magic items can still be given a single Mythic Artefact of any
points value, providing that he is not already carrying a magic item of the same type.
EMPOWERED EFFECTS
Many Mythic Artefacts grow in power the more Arcane Fulcrums your army controls, as detailed in the
relevant entry. If you are able to cast Presence spells, your Mythic Artefacts have the Presence effect, if
you are able to cast Equilibrium spells, your Mythic Artefacts have the Equilibrium effect, and so on.
Note that 'empower bonuses' are always gained and lost immediately as the control of Arcane
Fulcrums shifts, meaning that the bonuses and effects of the items can alter several times a turn, a phase
or even a sub-phase. Whenever an empower effect, be it a characteristic increase, bonus, etc., has the
potential to affect the game, double-check the relative control of Arcane Fulcrums so you can be sure
exactly what that effect is.
Magic and Wisdom
As will soon be apparent, Mythic Artefacts are powerful in a way that far eclipses the magic items that commonly grace a
Warhammer battlefield. They are capable of seemingly impossible feats that will transform your battles into the stuff of
legend. However; bear in mind that whilst the rules given here cover a great many of the outcomes of using these Mythic
Artefacts, they do not always willingly conform to the exact strictures of the game. On rare occasions, you will need to apply
some common sense, but that is the price of using such powerful magic. As with any game of Warhammer, if you are ever in
doubt as to the proper way to resolve a rules question, roll off with your opponent to determine the outcome.
Page 33

DAWNSTAR SWORD 200 points
Magic Weapon
Legend goes that this blade was forged in the first ray of light to strike the world. The energy of this auspicious enchantment
remains embedded deep within the burnished blade, waiting to be called forth once more in a blaze of glory
When attacking with the Dawnstar Sword, the bearer doubles his Attacks characteristic.
The Dawnstar Sword is empowered as the owning player gathers more of the storm of magic's power.
Presence: Attacks made with the Dawnstar Sword hit automatically.

Equilibrium: Attacks made with the Dawnstar Sword hit and wound automatically.
Dominance: Attacks made with the Dawnstar Sword hit and wound automatically and have the Multiple
Wounds (2D6) special rule.
BLADE OF LAST RESORT 100 points

Magic Weapon
This sword has ever had a twisted sense of humour; seeking outmatched heroes and aiding them against a chosen foe.
However, the Blade of Last Resort draws its strength from a victor’s glorious lifeblood; those that best an opponent with its
aid themselves have moments to live.
The bearer of the Blade of Last Resort must issue a challenge if able and must accept a challenge if one is
issued. For the duration of that challenge, the bearer must fight with the Blade of Last Resort and adds
+D6 to all of his characteristics (roll once and apply the result to all characteristics). Immediately after the
challenge has been resolved (because either of the characters locked in the challenge has been slain, or
because one side has fled) the bearer of the Blade of Last Resort is also removed as a casualty, granting
the enemy a combat result equal to his remaining Wounds at that point. The Blade of Last Resort then
magically appears in the hand of a randomly chosen character (chosen from the characters on both sides.
Any magic weapon that character is already carrying is instantly destroyed.
DODECAHEDRON OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT 250 points

Enchanted Item
Said to have been left behind by the Old Ones, this peculiar object can be used to remake the world. Each alteration to the
Dodecahedron's external matrix is reflexed on the land around the user. Its ill-considered use can easily prove catastrophic...
Bound spell (power level 12). One use only. The Dodecahedron of Continental Drift can only be used if
you are playing on a Realm of Battle board, or some other kind of modular battlefield.
Choose two board sections and swap them over, rotating the chosen sections to face any direction,
provided that they will fit in the same space. Units, terrain etc. are moved along with their board section
(be careful now) and do not themselves change facing (though they will do so if the board is rotated).
If an engaged unit is partially on the chosen board section, the Dodecahedron of Continental Drift
cannot move that section - choose a different board section, or the ability fails and nothing happens. If an
unengaged unit is partially on the chosen board section, the controlling player immediately moves the unit
fully onto one board section by the minimum possible distance (he can choose which board section)
ensuring that no unengaged unit ends up within 1" of another unit or impassable terrain. Each player
moves his own units - roll-off to see who starts, alternating from that point. If a terrain feature is partially
on the chosen board section, move the feature fully onto one board section by the minimum possible
distance (you can choose which board section).
Note that you cannot use the Dodecahedron of Continental Drift to place a board section in such a way
that it looks ridiculous. Just apply a little common sense, and this should be obvious. The most frequent
occurrence comes where a board has part of a hill sculpted into it - here you'll normally have to match
this up with another hill, or else align it with the edge of the battlefield. Any other solution will ordinarily
look absurd.
Page 34

FOZZRIK'S FLOATING FORTRESS 250 points
Enchanted Item
Though Fozzrik’s magical aptitude had him to become a wizard, he never lost his love for architecture. Many of the Old
World’s cities have been built around the immaculate structures that Fozzrik created from stone and sorcery, but more
prized by far are his floating fortresses - buildings that move under their own power and sprout defences to repel intruders.
After deployment zones have been agreed, but before the armies have been deployed, place a Citadel
Watchtower (or some other suitable tower model of roughly the same size) in your deployment zone to
represent the Floating Fortress. If you do not have a suitable building to place, you cannot use Fozzrik's
Floating Fortress. Continue with deployment.
If there is a unit in Fozzrik's Floating Fortress, providing that a garrison has not entered or left that turn,
the garrisoning player can have it make a Hover move at the end of his Remaining Moves sub-phase - this
does not prevent the garrison from shooting Move or Fire weapons. Note that this is the only time the
Floating Fortress can move. It cannot charge, flee, pursue nor be moved by spells or other magical
effects.
The Floating Fortress is empowered as the garrisoning player gathers more of the storm of magic's
power, granting additional powers that are cumulative (so when you are in Equilibrium you would apply
both the Presence and Equilibrium effects and so on) and can be directed by its garrisoning unit. If the
Floating Fortress has no garrison, these effects do not apply.
Presence:
The fortress gate warps into a leering face that breathes great gouts of fire against attackers. At the start of
the Shooting phase, the garrisoning player places the flame template so that the narrow end is touching
the main fortress door and the template otherwise touches no other part of the fortress. All models
(friendly and enemy) lying under the template suffer a Strength 4 hit.
Equilibrium:
Monstrous stone gargoyles burst from the fortress battlements to hurl rocks at the enemy below.
During the Shooting phase, all unengaged enemy units within 5" suffer 2D6 Strength 3 hits.
Dominance:
Great stone fists burst from the Floating Fortress' walls, squashing flat those enemies foolish enough to
approach. Any enemy unit that assaults the building suffers 2D6 Strength l0 hits in the Close Combat
phase, resolved at Initiative l.
Page 35

WOODWAKER'S WAND 200 points
Enchanted Item
Once upon a time, all the woods in the world were linked. Some say this great forest was alive, in a carious sort of way and
that every tree that now grows retains a portion of its vigour and intelligence just waiting to be revived.
One use only. Bound spell (power level 12). Choose a Citadel Wood, or other model wood of similar size,
within 12" of the bearer - that wood now comes to life and fights on your side.
Once the forest has woken, any unengaged unit at least partially inside automatically flees as if it had
failed a Panic test, with the centre of the forest as the source of the Panic. Unbreakable units and units
that are Immune to Psychology do not flee, but instead make a steady retreat - they are moved out of and
1" away from, the forest by the shortest possible route, in such a way that the unit does not end up within
I" of another unit or impassable terrain. If this is impossible, the unit is removed as a casualty. Each
player moves his own units - roll off to see who starts, alternating from then on. Units engaged in close
combat are simply removed from play as casualties - they don't see the forest turn nasty in enough time to
escape and are mulched!
For the sake of sanity, a woken forest thereafter uses the rules for a garrisoned building. The garrison unit
consists of 3 Guardian Trees, each with the following profile.
Move WS BS S T W I A Ld
NA 3 3 5 7 10 1 10 10
Troop Type: Monstrous Infantry.
Special Rules: Fear, Flammable, Unbreakable.
Tree Trait: From the moment the forest is 'woken' roll on the Mysterious Forest chart (if you haven't
already done so earlier in the game). Depending on the type of forest, the Guardian Trees will have an
additional special rule:
Abyssal Wood - Terror

Blood Forest - Frenzy.
Fungus Forest - Regeneration.
Venom Thicket - Poisoned Attacks.
Wildwood - Hatred.
Branch Barrage: This ability is treated as a shooting attack with the following profile:
Range Strength Special Rules

12" 5 Multiple Shots (D6), Quick to Fire
Unlike normal buildings, the forest can also declare and complete charges. The forest has a Movement
Allowance of 4 to charge in a 360 degree arc. The forest can never charge more than one unit - if this
makes the charge impossible, it automatically fails. The forest does not have to 'close the door' to align,
but just has to complete the charge in such a manner that it is touching the chosen enemy unit. Naturally,
the forest itself cannot attack or be attacked in close combat, although the garrison fight and are fought
normally - models are selected to fight the garrison in exactly the same way as for a building. If all the
Guardian Trees are slain, the forest is immediately removed from play as a casualty.
Page 36

LIVING DEADWOOD STAFF 150 points
Enchanted Item
Arboreonecromancy is a little-practised branch of wizardry – any mystic crazed enough to attempt it normally transfers his
attentions back to raising zombies and skeletons, rather than Undead trees. However; legends tell of the Archmage Sycamo,
'The Daemon Carpenter of Estalia', who not only perfected a method of reanimating trees from their residual elements, but
also of filling them with astounding vigour. Much of Sycamo’s work has, fortunately, been lost to the intervening aeons, but
the Living Deadwood Staff never stays missing for long...
Whilst the bearer of the Deadwood Staff is alive, all forests count as Blood Forests as well as their usual
type. At the end of your Remaining Moves sub-phase, you can move every forest on the battlefield up to
6" in any direction. If there are models in the forests, these are left behind in the same formation and
facing. Forests cannot move into impassable terrain, or be left so that they balance on other terrain
features in an unsightly way. It's fine to move a forest onto a hill or place other terrain features within a
forest, if it has sufficient movement and it doesn’t look odd. When each forest's final position has been
determined, any models that would be underneath it are placed within it, with the same formation and
facing.
The Living Deadwood Staff is empowered as the owning player gathers more of the storm of magic's
power.
Presence:
Blood Forests inflict 2D6 hits at Strength 5, instead of their usual damage.
Equilibrium:
Dominance:
In addition, the Living Deadwood Staff contains a bound spell (power level 12). This is a summoning
spell with unlimited range. Place a Citadel Wood, or a wood of similar size, anywhere on the table. Any
models that would be underneath the new forest are replaced within it, with the same facing and
formation. This is a Mysterious Forest.
GIANTKIN HELM 150 points

Enchanted Item
After constantly being told 'We expect big things from you,' by his Elector Count father; Heinrich von Roth spent much of
the family fortune commissioning an artefact that would help him achieve greatness. Alas, he was lo learn that when dealing
with wizards, precision of diction is just as important as largesse of payment.
One use only. The Giantkin Helm can be activated at the start of any of your turns. It transmogrifies the
bearer, and any mount he may be riding, into a single Giant (as found on page 104). If the bearer is in a
unit, he can remain with that unit, even though he is now technically a monster. If he cannot be placed in
the unit because there is not enough room, then the Giantkin Helm cannot be used. Whilst transformed,
the bearer uses the profile of a Giant, cannot channel or cast spells and all of his other magic items and
equipment stop working. If you don't have a Giant model, then the Giantkin Helm does nothing.
At the start of each subsequent player turn, roll a D6. On a score of 2-6, nothing untoward happens. On a
score of 1, the energies of the Giantkin Helm fizzle out, returning the bearer and any mounts, to normal
form. Any Wounds suffered whilst a Giant are carried over onto the bearer's normal form, even if this
kills him. The Giantkin Helm's effect cannot voluntarily be ended.
Page 37

WINDCATCHER PRISM 150points
Enchanted Item
Th.is peculiar bauble was rafted long ago, its purpose very much tied to storms of magic. Once a particular Wind of Magic
rises to a certain cataclysmic level, the Windcatcher Prism absorbs and rechannels a portion of its power bestowing the bearer
- and his immediate allies - with an avataric aspect of the ascendant Wind of Magic.
The bearer and his unit receive a bonus special rule, depending on which Battle Magic lore is ascendant.
This bonus lasts as long as that lore is ascendant, and changes to a different special rule when another lore
becomes ascendant.
Lore Bonus Special Rules

Fire Burning Blades. The unit re-rolls failed To Wound rolls (in shooting and close combat).
Furthermore, the unit has the Flaming Attacks special ru1e.
Beasts Primal Rage. The unit has the Frenzy, Swiftstride and Hatred special rules.
Light Swiftswords. The unit is Initiative 10 and has the Always Strikes First special rule.
Metal Metamolten. The unit's shooting and close combat Attacks ignore armour saves and
always have a To Wound score equal to the armour save of the target.
Life Boundless Renewal. The unit has the Regeneration special rule. In addition, keep track of
any regeneration rolls of a 5 the unit makes. At the end of each phase, restore 1 Wound
to the unit for each such roll during that phase, as described for the Regrowth spell in
the Lore of Life.
Heavens Fortune. The unit re-rolls any ls rolled To Hit, To Wound and as saving throws.
Shadow Cloak of lllusion. Non-magical Attacks that roll To Hit can only hit the unit on 5s. Magical
Attacks hit the unit normally.
Death Reawakening. At the end of each phase, every unsaved Wound caused by the unit (by any
means) immediately restores I Wound to the unit, as described for the Regrowth spell in
the Lore of Life.
PARANOTH'S PIQUETFENCE 100 points

Enchanted Item
Paranoth was a famous travelling mage, who trod every road ‘twixt Cathay and Naggarond. Naturally, only a particularly
foolish wizard would journey such roads without defences, so Paranoth wove himself a sorcerous fence to defend his
encampments whilst he and his companions slept.
Paranoth's Piquet Fence can be activated at the start of any of your turns. Choose a hill, marsh or forest
within 12" of the bearer. That terrain feature now counts as a building, as well as its normal type. It
retains any special rules associated with that terrain feature's type (Paranoth's Piquet Fence doesn't stop
you from drowning in the marsh). If you've some fences, or other suitable terrain features, placing them
around the fenced-in terrain feature is a fun reminder.
Units in the terrain feature that cannot occupy buildings are moved out of and 1" away from it, in such a
way that the unit does not end up within 1" of another unit or impassable terrain, by the shortest possible
distance. If this is impossible, the unit is removed as a casualty. Each player moves his own units – roll off
to see who starts, alternating from that point. Of those units that remain, choose one - this unit is now
considered to be occupying the 'building'. Al1 other remaining units must then be moved as described
above.
Roll a D6 at the start of each subsequent player turn. On a roll of a 1, Paranoth's Piquet Fence stops
working and the terrain feature returns to normal.
Page 38

ROCKCHARMER'S FLUTE 100 points
Enchanted Item
Androgast Glldheim was the first man in the Empire to master this granite flute, but its origins lie hidden in the mists of
time. Some say that the Rockcharmers Flute was used to destroy the old Dwarfen realms, others that it sank the fabled
realm of Seidon. However; the most popular tale concerns a drunken Halfling, the Rockcharmer's Flute, a jug of lamp oil, a
plate of sausages and the accidental creation of the Grey Mountains...
Bound spell (power level 12). One use only. Choose a hill within 12" of the bearer. Models on the hill
each suffer a Strength 4 hit. The hill then immediately moves 2D6" in a direction of your choice (hills that
are modelled onto the board cannot move, though they do inflict hits as described earlier). Surviving units
are left behind with the same formation and facing, as the hill ‘walks’ off.
Hills cannot move into impassable terrain, or be left so that they balance on another terrain features in an
unsightly way (as discussed in guidance for summoning spells, except that they will stop l" away from any
offending features rather than be destroyed). If the hill moves, when its final position has been
determined, any model that would be underneath it, or has been moved over by it, suffers a Strength 4
hit. Any surviving units that would be underneath the hill are replaced on top of the hi1l, with the same
facing and formation.
WYSSAN'S WEIGHTED DICE 100 points

Enchanted Item
This set of weighted dice is one amongst many forged by Aractvian Wyssan over the course of a long and (unsurprisingly)
successful wagering career. At the bearer's command, these skull-marked cubes play havoc with the laws of causality; turning
certainty into bleak misfortune.
One use only. Wyssan's Weighted Dice are used at the start of one of your turns. When used, the bearer
chooses two numbers from 1 to 6. For the remainder of the game turn, all dice rolls of the first number
are treated, in all respects, as a dice roll of the second number. This applies to all dice rolls: yours, your
opponent's and any neutral rolls, such as for determining the Winds of Magic and magical flux. It even
includes single dice roiled as part of a 2D6, 3D6 and so on.
Wyssan's Weighted Dice are empowered as the owning player gathers more of the storm of magic's
power.
Presence
Immediately after Wyssan's Weighted Dice are used, roll a D6. On a score of 6+ they can be used once
more later in the game.
Equilibrium:
As for Presence, however Wyssan's Weighted Dice can be reused on a ro11 of 5+.
Dominance:
As for Presence, however Wyssan's Weighted Dice can be reused on a roll of 4+.
Page 39

ARABYAN PUZZLEBOX 250 points
Arcane Item
This elegantly crafted container houses many hundreds of glittering gemstones, each with the power to harness the Winds of
Magic if used in the correct manner. Alas, the user can never truly be sure that the compartment he has opened will contain
the gems he needed.
During your Magic phase, the Arabyan Puzzlebox has an effect based on the Winds of Magic roll. If the
total rolled for the Winds of Magic is an odd number, add D6 dice to your power pool. If the total rolled
for the Winds of Magic is an even number, you can re-roll the D3 for Magical Flux.
The Arabyan Puzzlebox is empowered as the owning player gathers more of the storm of magic's power.
Presence:
If the roll for the Winds of Magic contains one or more doubles, the bearer receives a casting bonus of
+3 to all spells this turn.
Equilibrium:
In addition to the Presence effect, if the roll for the Winds of Magic contains one or more doubles, the
bearer's characteristics are increased by D3 (to a maximum of 10). Roll once and apply the result to all
characteristics.
Dominance:
In addition to the Presence and Equilibrium effects, if the roll for the Winds of Magic contains one or
more doubles, the bearer's spells (even Cataclysm spells) will cause irresistible force and a miscast on a
roll of any double.
BLACK BOOK OF IBN NAGGAZAR 150 points

Arcane Item
Ibn Nagazar was a brilliant, if somewhat maniacal, Arabyan sorcerer. Whilst it is unknown whether his madness sprang
from isolation, too many attempts at creating intoxicating 'elixirs' or the honeyed promises of whispering Daemons, there can
be no doubt that he was utterly insane. No rational wizard would create a book inked on the skin of his closest family;
much less constantly follow its advice.
The Black Book of Ibn Naggazar grants the bearer the Loremaster (Death) and Loremaster (Shadow)
special rules - these spells replace any he already knows. However, a blood sacrifice must be made
whenever the bearer casts a spell from either the Lore of Death or the Lore of Shadow.
Each time the bearer attempts to cast such a spell, make a blood sacrifice roll to see the number of
victims claimed by the book. Roll a D3 - remove this number of models from the caster's unit as
casualties, and add this many dice to the bearer's casting attempt (this can take the number of dice used
beyond 6 and the total in the pool temporarily above 24). If there are insufficient 'volunteers' for the
sacrifice, the bearer is also dragged into the book - he and his unit are removed as casualties and the spell
automatically fails. No saves of any kind can be taken by models claimed by the book.
If the caster has not attempted to cast a spell from either the Lore of Death or the Lore of Shadow by the
end of each of his Magic phases, he is devoured by the Daemons within the book and removed as a
casualty.
The Black Book of Ibn Naggazar is empowered as the owning player gathers more of the storm of
magic's power.
Presence:
Roll a D6, rather than a D3, for blood sacrifice.
Equilibrium:
Roll 2D6, rather than a D3, for blood sacrifice.
Dominance:
Roll 3D6, rather than a D3, for blood sacrifice.

INTO THE STORM!
When the Winds of Magic howl, who knows what madness will come sailing in upon that unnatural gale?
For a brief time the world will be suffused with so much raw power that anything could happen...
Storm of Magic opens up endless new vistas of gaming possibilities. The Storm of Magic scenario
presents all the fundamentals for battling it out during a raging tempest of magical power - introducing
Arcane Fulcrums, Magical Flux, Wild Magic and so on. This brief section is about further exploring the
many gaming opportunities presented by these great storms that periodically sweep across the lands.
What if during your battle, the sheer saturation of enchanted energy from a storm of magic caused
unnatural phenomenon to happen Are you tactically able to confront not only the enemy, but also newly
risen and erupting volcanoes or suddenly sentient and decidedly hostile forests? What if roused by the
storm, all manner of monsters join in the bloodletting, eager to feed on anything they can catch. It will
take a mentally agile commander to control Arcane Fulcrums that shift in and out of reality, blinking
across the battlefield. These are strange and unforeseen effects, but who truly knows what can happen
when raw Chaos is unleashed upon the world!
ELEMENTS OF CHANGE
By altering a few key elements in a scenario, it is possible to add a simple twist to an existing battle or,
with more substantial additions, to design something entirely new. Below are some of the elements you
can alter to change a Storm of Magic scenario.
Armies
Changing how armies are selected for a game is an easy way to vary your battles and could be as simple as
modifying army selection percentages. Think what being able to take up to 50% of your force total in
Lords could do! That's a lot of powerful Wizards that could join your battle! Likewise, an increase in the
allotment for Scrolls of Binding will allow for a very different kind of game. A more radical addition
would be adding a third party to a battle, some neutral force such as a special monster or mad
necromancer that will act automatically to protect itself.
Battlefield
Special scenery is one of the most visual ways to change a scenario. This could be a special piece of
terrain that serves as the game's sole objective, such as a famous Wizard's Tower like the Gargoyle Tower
or the Ebon Tower of Eternity, or it could be an entire setup - like a battle that takes place on floating
islands of clouds or amidst rivers of magma. Some storms of magic open up portals to the Realm of
Chaos and who knows what insanity might slip through to alter your landscape. Later in this chapter are
examples of specific sorcerous terrain to try.
Scenario Special Rules
A scenario special rule could account for anything your fevered imagination can invent. The skies might
rain blood, Daemons might materialise along magical fault lines or a man-eating mystical mist could
enshroud the battlefield, baring its fog-like fangs. The most enjoyable special rules are thematic to the
game itself and force both players to think and react, often altering their style of play.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Storm of Magic provides a framework of rules and an evocative backdrop for your games. With some
tweaking or outright inventing of your own, you can create your own never-seen before challenges, cater
to your personal miniature and terrain collections and really let your imagination run wild.
Imagine creating your very own monster – some mighty beast that opposing Wizards can attempt to
mind control and bind into service. Failure means the creature will run amok or, worse, be bound into the
ranks of your foe! How about a team of Skaven Warlock Engineers with their claptrap doomsday weapon
that is attempting to channel the storm for their own nefarious purpose! There are new spells to invent,
ancient Daemons fettered in mythic prisons waiting to be set free by the storm's fury and mysterious
temples whose statues come alive when the correct magical lore is in ascendancy upon the wayward and
gusting Winds of Magic.
Page 41

1 – THE MAD MAGE OF THE
DARKWALD DOWNS
What happens when two armies converse upon a storm of magic only to find that a powerful and quite deranged wizard is
already on the scene trying to absorb the arcane energy all for himself?
THE ARMIES
Each player chooses his force as per the Storm of Magic scenario
THE BATTLEFIELD
A special Arcane Fulcrum is placed in the centre of the board - this will be known as the Altar of
Madness. Players take it in turn to place between four and six Citadel Woods (or forests of a similar size)
although none can be placed within 12" of the Altar of Madness or within 6" of each other.
DEPLOYMENT
Roll off to see which player picks which half of the table they will deploy in. Their opponent will deploy
in the other half. The player that chose his board half must deploy his entire army first within 12" of his
long table edge. He must also place a single Arcane Fulcrum anywhere in his own deployment zone. Once
the first player has deployed, his opponent must do likewise, placing his models within 12" of his own
long table edge and a single Arcane Fulcrum anywhere within his deployment zone. Scouts are placed last,
beginning with the player who set up first.
Moving Madness
Although the Altar of Madness starts the battle in the direct centre of the battlefield, it will not stay there for long. Be
prepared with a few units to chase the teleporting pylon across the tabletop if needs be.
FIRST TURN
The player that set up second rolls a D6. On a 6 he chooses who goes first. On a 1-5 the player that set
up first chooses who goes first.
Page 42

GAME LENGTH
The battle will last for six game turns, or until a time limit agreed by the players is reached, whichever
comes first.
VICTORY CONDITIONS
The victory conditions for the game are straightforward - at the end of the battle, whoever controls the
Altar of Madness is the winner. Note, this could be either player or even the Mad Mage himself. If no one
controls the Altar, the blade is a draw, although a player that slays the Mad Mage earns bragging rights.

This scenario uses all the special rules from the Storm of Magic scenario and additionally uses the Mad
Mage and Altar of Madness special rules.
Mad Mage
With his name lost over ages of insanity, this long corrupted Wizard has spent his days wandering the
Darkwald Downs in an addled, but incessant search for a key to great power... and it seems that he's
found it. The Mad Mage starts the game rubbing his hands together and cackling maniacally atop the
Altar of Madness. He has the following profile:

Name Move WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
Mad Mage 4 3 3 4 4 3 3 1 10 NA
Troop Type: Infantry (Character).
Magic: The Mad Mage is a Level 4 Wizard and knows but a single spell - the Invisible Fire of Tzeentch.
He automatically casts this (with a total casting result of 20) at the start of each and every Magic phase,
unless he is in combat when he cannot cast. He will always cast the spell at the nearest visible target and
both players can attempt to dispel it (starting with the player whose turn it is) using either dispel or power
dice.
Equipment: Hand weapon.
Altar of Madness
The Altar of Madness is a special Arcane Fulcrum that gives the Mad Mage his powers. The Mad Mage
can never voluntarily leave this Arcane Fulcrum, so, if he is forced to for any reason, he will automatically
die and be removed from play. So long as he remains atop the Altar of Madness, the Mad Mage has a 2+
ward save. If any other Wizard should mount the Altar of Madness, treat it as a normal Arcane Fulcrum.
Oversaturated with magic, the Altar of Madness teleports. So long as the Mad Mage is alive, at the start of
each turn, the Altar of Madness will teleport 2D6" in a random direction. If this would cause the fulcrum
to be placed on, or within 1" of, a unit, a terrain feature other than a hill, in impassable terrain, or off the
board, then increase or decrease the scatter distance along its displacement vector by the smallest amount
necessary so that it doesn't.
Not Too Close

A wise player will keep in mind that while the Mad Mage is alive he will always target the closest unit. Unless you have a
decent chance of charging the Mad Altar to claim it for yourself a sound tactic is to ensure that it is your foe who receives the
Mad Mage’s Invisible Fire of Tzeentch spell and not one of your own regiments.
Page 43

2 – REIGN OF MAGIC
Under the most intense deluges of magical energies, the world itself can start to warp. As the laws of nature and the unreality
of the Realm of Chaos collide, the battlefield becomes an unstable and unpredictable place. A commander can never know
what will happen under the swirling clouds of a storm of magic...
THE ARMIES
Each player chooses his force as per the Storm of Magic scenario
THE BATTLEFIELD
The first things to set up are the Arcane Fulcrums. Three Arcane Fulcrums are placed on an imaginary
centre line (see map below), the first of which is in the exact middle of the table and the flanking ones
equidistant between the centre point and a short table edge. After the Arcane Fulcrums are placed, set the
rest of the battlefield up as described in the Warhammer rulebook.
DEPLOYMENT
Roll off to see which player picks which half of the table they will deploy in. The opponent will deploy in
the other half Players then take it in turn to place units on the table, using the alternating unit’s method of
deployment as described in the Warhammer rulebook. Units may be placed anywhere in their deployment
zone that is more than 12" from the centre line.
FIRST TURN
Roll off after deployment. The player with the highest result gets to choose whether to take the first turn
or not. The player who finished deploying his army first adds +1 to this roll.
GAME LENGTH
The battle will last for six turns or until a time limit agreed by the players is reached.
VICTORY CONDITIONS
At the end of the game, the player who controls the most Arcane Fulcrums wins the battle.
If both players control the same number of Arcane Fulcrums at the end of the game, then use the Victory
Points method, as described in the Warhammer rulebook, to determine the result of the battle.
This scenario uses all of the special rules from the Storm of Magic scenario in addition to the Reign of
Magic special rule detailed on the next page.
Three Fulcrums
This battle begins with the Arcane Fulcrums out of reach for both sides. Initial turns are bound to result in a race to claim
these mighty pylons.
Page 44

REIGN OF MAGIC
After determining Magical Flux, the player whose turn it is rolls on the Reign of Magic chart (below) and
applies the results.
D6 Roll Result
1. The Land is Alive! The landscape comes alive, hills gnaw and trees strike out...
Any unit on the battlefield within 6" of any terrain feature (hills, walls, forests, rivers,
buildings etc.) takes 2D6 Strength 4 hits with no armour saves allowed.
2. Green Glow of Madness. Morrslieb looms overlarge, its sickly glow suffusing the landscape.
All units taken from armies described as Forces of Destruction (see Warhammer rulebook)
or taken as Scrolls of Binding gain Frenzy for the remainder of the player turn.
3. Funnel of Doom. A vortex of swirling energy descends from the skies.
Place the small round template atop a randomly chosen Fulcrum and then make a single
2D6" move in a random direction. All models moved over or touched by the template suffer
a Strength 6 hit with no armour saves allowed. In addition, after all hits have been resolved,
any Wizard moved over or touched is sucked up and removed as a casualty on a D6 roll of
5+.
4. Eye of the Storm. The Winds of Magic are inexplicably stilled, as is wind in the eye of a hurricane.
Until the next Magic phase no power dice are generated - do not roll any dice for the Winds
of Magic (this cancels both Wild Magic and the usual 2D6 power dice rolled by the casting
player). Spells that are cast automatically, or magic items or special rules that generate power
dice, can be used as normal.
5. Born Anew. Due to time warp, magical reinvigoration or perhaps divine intervention, one thought dead
returns anew.
The player whose turn it is can return a single model that has been slain. This can be a single
character (including his mount), infantry, monstrous infantry, cavalry, monstrous cavalry,
swarm, war beast, monstrous beast, monster, chariot, or war machine. Models born anew
enter the battlefield from any point on any battlefield edge, using the rules for
reinforcements.
6. Ascendancy Rules. The ascendant Wind of Magic bestows purest power.
Any Wizard using the ascendant lore, as determined by Magical Flux, can re-roll a single
casting attempt until the start of the caster's next Magic phase and can re-roll the first
Miscast table roll in each turn so long as his lore remains in ascendancy.
Beware the Eye

Storm of Magic games are often all about Wizards and their powerful spells. However this scenario adds the totally random
(and magic calming) Eye of the Storm result which can really throw a cog into your best laid plans. It just goes to show,
magic is unreliable even during its raging tempests!
Page 45

SORCEROUS TERRAIN
Stray sorcerous energy has a tendency to be drawn to magical structures or sanctums of the gods, often
unleashing untold dangers in its wake, and in a storm of magic, stray sorcery is rife.
Presented on the next few pages are some optional rules to cover the altered character that three terrain
pieces - specifically, Wizard's Towers, Sigmarite Shrines and Arcane Ruins - could have in your Storm of
Magic games.
The rules presented here are really just a starting point. You should feel free to use them as an inspiration
to create your own eldritch perils for the terrain pieces in your collection. During a storm of magic,
anything is possible!
Using Terrain
Terrain turns your table into a battlefield and provides a setting for your games. Storm of Magic games centre around
Arcane Fulcrums, but that doesn't mean you can't add more terrain into the battle - some of which can even count as
additional fulcrum In fact, if you are making up your own scenarios, you might want to create a game based around a specific
piece of terrain - say an infamous Wizard Tower; a ring of strange standing stones, or whatever you happen to have in your
collection.
Page 46

ARCANE RUINS
The landscape of the Warhammer world is littered with standing stones and monoliths - the forgotten
remnants of temples and towers long lost. Yet magic has not entirely forsaken these unhallowed places
and even now hangs heavy upon them.
MYSTERIOUS
In Storm of Magic games, Arcane Ruins retain their normal rules, which are repeated here for
ease of reference:
Any Wizard within 6" of an Arcane Ruin can choose to roll up to four dice when channelling, rather than
one. However, if three or more dice come up as 6s, the Wizard must immediately roll on the Miscast
table.
However, when playing Storm of Magic games, Arcane Ruins are also treated as mysterious terrain. Who
knows precisely what sorceries led to their bleak and tumbled state, or what magic’s in which the
slumbering stones are steeped,
As soon as a unit moves to within 3" of the Arcane Ruins, roll to determine the exact nature of their
enchantment. These rules are cumulative with the basic effect of the Arcane Ruins described above.
D6 Result
1 Nothing - not counting the horrible stench, it's a 'normal' Arcane Ruin.
2 Arcane Fulcrum.
3 Zone of Hellfire.
4 Thaumic Lodestone.
5 Font of Rejuvenation.
6 Ghostly Infestation.
ARCANE FULCRUM
This ruin still retains a tie to the ancient leylines of the land.
This Arcane Ruin is treated as an Arcane Fulcrum in all respects.
ZONE OF HELLFIRE
As the Winds of Magic ebb and flow, these ruins explode into fiery life.
If any doubles are rolled for the Winds of Magic, all units within 3" of the Arcane Ruin suffer D6 hits
with a Strength equal to the highest double rolled.
THAUMIC LODESTONE
Long ago, these ruins were set to manipulate the Winds of Magic, and so can they be used again.
Each player with at least one Wizard within 3" of the Arcane Ruins can re-roll one of the D6 rolled to
calculate the Winds of Magic.
FONT OF REJWENATION
The stones of this ruin glow with life-giving energies.
Any unit within 3" of the Arcane Ruins has the Regeneration (5*) special rule.
GHOSTLY INFESTATION
This ruin is the haunt of the cursed dead, whose unearthly wails and caterwauls chill the very hearts of those nearby.
Any unit within 3" of the Arcane Ruins suffers a -1 penalty to its Leadership.
General Purpose Terrain

When it comes to terrain, there is an advantage to scenery that is multi-purpose in its uses. For example, the plastic Arcane
Rains kit makes great looking terrain and will work fine for every one of the Mysterious Terrain options given here.
Page 47

WIZARDS TOWERS
Many choose sorcery as a path to power. Alas, such glories must be sought in solitude lest the common
folk take violent exception to the wizard's dabbling in the diabolical. So do many Wizard's Towers stand
in isolated and unwelcoming places, the better to ensure their owner’s quietude and safety (though
doubtless not always his sanity).
TERRIBLY MYSTERIOUS
In Storm of Magic games, a Wizard's Tower retains its normal rules from the Warhammer rulebook.
However, when playing Storm of Magic games, Wizard's Towers are also treated as mysterious terrain.
The tower's original owner might well have held a full inventory of exactly what experiments and
sorceries lurked therein, but he's probably long dead by now. Furthermore, the billowing Winds of Magic
offer excellent opportunity for al1 manner of familiars and homunculi to burst free of their shackles and
wreak all kinds of havoc.
As soon as a unit enters (or deploys in) the Wizard's Tower, roll 2D6 to determine the exact nature of the
providence or peril within. These rules are cumulative with the basic effect of the Wizard's Tower.
D6 Result
2 Nothing - singing mice and dancing broomsticks aside, it's a 'normal' Wizards Tower
3 Arcane Fulcrum.
4 Cursed Library.
5 Seals of Scrying
6 Arcane Armoury
7 Ferocious Familiars
8 Spectral Attendants
9 Mutating Mirrors
10 Blessed Library
11 Poltergiests
12 Portal of Screaming Death
Strange Reflections
A Wizard’s Tower tends to be a highly magical structure that will absorb many of the properties of its owner. For example,
the tower of a Necromancer will tend to be mysterious, old and creaky - covered in the fell symbol used by those versed in the
arts of the Undead. Conversely the abode of an Orc Shaman is likely to be haphazardly angled and patched together with
crudely scrawled symbols of Orcish power
ARCANE FULCRUM
This tower is set at a crux point of leylines and absorbs energy during a storm of magic, power that a
skilled practitioner can easily put to use.
As long as the building is occupied only by a single Wizard, it is treated as an Arcane Fulcrum in all
respects. If other models are within, the muddy thoughts of lesser mortals prevent the Wizard from
utilising the fulcrum's full potential, and it is counted solely as a Wizard's Tower.
CURSED LIBRARY
Books and tomes of a dark and blasphemous nature hang heavy on all the many shelves herein. The ominous aura they
exude is so thick as to be a cloying physical presence thot corrodes metal and undoes enchantments of warding.
All models from the Forces of Order garrisoning or assaulting the Wizard's Tower suffer a -1 penalty to
all armour saves and cannot take ward or regeneration saves.
Page 48

SEALS OF SCRYING
Invisible sentinels stand guard over this sorcerous dwelling divining that which intruders would wish kept secret.
Immediately after one of your units garrisons this building, all hidden information concerning that unit
(including magic items, concealed characters, spells and upgrades - no exceptions, even if the upgrade is
not specifically listed here) must be revealed to your opponent.
ARCANE ARMOURY
This tower is littered with countless armoires of enchanted weaponry, there for the taking by whosoever finds it. Though the
magic contained in these weapons lasts for only a short time outside the tower's confines, such a span is more than enough for
a band of determined warriors.
The first unit that garrisons this building receives +1 To Hit, +1 To Wound and their Attacks are
considered to be magical for the remainder of the game. Any unit that garrisons the building thereafter
arrives to find its riches already plundered - treat the building as an 'ordinary' Wizard's Tower for the rest
of the game.
FEROCIOUS EAMILIARS
A host of tiny but vicious and needle-toothed familiars dwell within this tower Though not brave enough to attack directly,
these mischievous imps snap at ankles, feet and shins when the opponent's attention is elsewhere, before scurrying away to
hide behind the pock marked wainscoting.
Any unit assaulting or defending the Wizard's Tower suffers 3D6 Strength I hits, resolved simultaneously
with Impact Hits.
SPECTRALATTENDANTS
Ethereal watchmen stand sentry over this particular Wizard Tower, attacking all who would wish the occupants harm.
Any unit assaulting the Wizard's Tower suffers 2D5 Strength 3 Attacks, resolved at Weapon Skill and
Initiative 3, in addition to any Attacks made by the defenders.
MUTATING MIRRORS
The walls of the tower are lined with distorting mirrors, somewhat akin to those found in a travelling carnival, with, one
important exception; these mirrors distort reality, not merely its reflection. Those who enter this glittering maze find their
forms irrevocably altered. No rhyme or reason drives this transmutation; it is governed solely by the wizardly whims of the
malefic mirrors.
Immediately, after one of your units garrisons this building, and at the start of every turn they are in
the building thereafter, roll on the following table to find out exactly what physical changes the mirrors
have wrought.
D6 Result
1 Bulk and Brawn. All models in the unit have +1 Strength and +1 Toughness

4 Skilled but Sickly. All models in the unit have +1 Weapon Skill and -1 Toughness.
5 Frail but Full-hearted. All models in the unit have -1 Strength and +1 Leadership.
6 Fumbling and Frail. All models in the unit have -1 Weapon Skill and -1 Strength.
All bonuses and penalties are cumulative and last for the remainder of the game.
BLESSED LIBRARY
Tapestry and scripture laid down by beneficent and magnanimous gods line these walls.
All models from the Forces of Destruction garrisoning or assaulting the Wizard's Tower suffer a -1
penalty to all armour saves and cannot take ward or regeneration saves.

Immediately after one of your units garrisons this building, and at the start of every turn it is
in the building thereafter it suffers D6 Strength 4 hits to represent the barrage of broken furniture flung
by the poltergeists.
PORTAL OF SCREAMING DEATH

The insides of this tower are not lined with stone, wood or tanned flesh, but swirling magical energy that casts any entrant
into sorcerous oblivion.
Any unit that garrisons this building is removed from play as a casualty.
Risk versus Reward?

As with all Mysterious Terrain there are potential risks and rewards for entering a Wizard Tower. Some
results can be game-winners - such as the Arcane Fulcrum, or at the least, offer fantastic unit upgrades,
like the Arcane Armoury. Other results are dangerous, such as Ferocious Familiars or Poltergeists - even
more so if your Wizard isn't in a unit. The mere possibility of discovering a Portal of Screaming Death,
however; should make a player a bit nervous about entering such a structure!
Page 50

SIGMARITE SHRINES
Many a Sigmarite Shrine has been the victim of a campaigning army, its altar smashed, its sanctums
defiled and its ground reconsecrated to some blasphemous deity. Some shrines are eventually reclaimed
by Sigmar's followers, but some are claimed by adherents of another of the Empire's faiths. As a result,
it's often not immediately obvious to which god a shrine is currently dedicated. This doesn't normally
matter a great deal, but during a storm of magic the gods pay much greater attention to those who
trespass upon their holy ground.
No matter how derelict a Sigmarite Shrine may be, some trace of its power remains. It therefore
retains its normal rules, repeated here for ease of reference:
Any models belonging to an army from the Forces of Destruction re-roll successful ward saves if they are
within 6" of the Sigmarite Shrine.
Your Own Temple

A piece of terrain to represent a shrine, temple or holy site for your army is a great addition to
any Warhammer player’s terrain collection and can become a centrepiece for any army. If your force does not have a shrine
listed in the Ineffably Mysterious section then you can either appropriate the set of rules that best fit your army deity, or; with
your opponents consent, make up your own rules.
INEFFABLY MYSTERIOUS
Additionally, the first time any unit enters (or deploys in) the shrine, roll 2D6 to determine the
deity to which it is now dedicated, and the 'blessing' that unit receives. All blessings apply to the unit and
any characters in it, unless otherwise stated. Any units that enter the Shrine thereafter are unaffected.

A1l models in the unit immediately get +1 Strength and +1 Weapon Skill.
THE GREAT HORNED RAT

Any warriors who survive the battle will evince rodent-like traits in the weeks to come, but it's too late to worry about that...
All models in the unit immediately get +1 Movement and +1 Initiative.
ULRIC, GOD OFWOLVES WAR AND WINTER

Ulric espouses the might of the warrior and those who enter his domain are thus blessed.
If the unit is from the Forces of Order any champions and characters in the unit immediately get +1
Weapon Skill, +1 Strength and +1 Attack.
Page 51

GRANDFATHER NURGLE
Those who enter Nurgle’s holy ground receive his fulsome gifts, and the survivors are hardier for it.
Every model in the unit immediately takes a Toughness test. All models that fail the test are removed as
casualties. All models that pass the test have +1 Toughness.
SLAANESH, PRINCE OF CHAOS

The followers of Slaanesh have claimed this fallen shrine as their own, and the blessings of their god are upon any who enter.
The unit gains the Stupidity and Immune to Psychology special ru1es.
SIGMAR, WARRIOR GOD OF THE EMPIRE

This shrine still stands in dedication to Sigmar; and valour fills the hearts of those righteous warriors who fight on Sigmar's
chosen ground.
If the unit is from the Forces of Order, it gains the Stubborn special rule.
TZEENTCH, CHANGER OF WAYS

Fortune smiles upon those blessed by Tzeentch. At least it does sometimes.
Models in the unit immediately get a 4+ ward save. However for every ward save the unit fails, it suffers
an extra Wound with no armour saves allowed.
KHORNE, THE BLOOD GOD

To know the favour of Khorne is to know rage unbridled and unbound.
The unit gains the Frenzy special rule.
MORR, GUARDIAN OF THE DEAD

Those under the protection of Morr do not fear death. Those already dead will be released from their sorcerous shackles.
The unit automatically passes Leadership tests caused by Fear and Terror until the end of the game. A
Vampire Counts or Tomb Kings unit that enters the building immediately suffers 3D6 Wounds with no
armour saves allowed.
THE LADY OF THE LAKE

Some wayward Questing Knight has converted this shrine to his dreary aquatic goddess, instead of restoring it to its former
glory!
If the unit is Bretonnian it gains the Unbreakable special rule whilst within the shrine. If the unit is an
Empire unit, it gains the Hatred (Bretonnia) special rule until the end of the game, and will be really, really
angry for some considerable time thereafter.
RANALD, PATRON OF TRICKSTERS

There is no blessing to be found herein. However even small shrines to Ranald are veritable mazes, and those who enter have
a difficult time in leaving.
When the unit attempts to abandon the shrine, it must first roll a 4+ on a D6, or else be forced
to remain within. If this dice roil is failed by a unit fleeing from combat, then the unit is removed as
casualties.
New Scenarios
With a storm of magic’s focus on magical leylines and nexus points, it is easy to envision such tempests being drawn towards
especially arcane grounds. For those players who enjoy creating their own scenarios the possibilities are endless, mixing in all
the Arcane Architecture and other terrain rules from the Warhammer Rulebook. Imagine Dwarfs hunkering down inside
their brew house to weather the tempest? Or a storms Epicentre revolving around a Haunted Mansion that is surrounded by
a Blood Forest?
Page 52

BOUND MONSTERS
When a storm of magic breaks, it isn't merely battlefield sorcery that increases in power. All manner of
spells and ritual texts that have lain dormant for decades suddenly crackle into vibrant life, easier to have
their power unleashed upon the unsuspecting world! Chief amongst these sorcerous artefacts are Kadon's
Scrolls of Binding - ancient scriptures that allow a Wizard to shackle other creatures to his will.
SCROLLS OF BINDING
Each Scroll of Binding was crafted with a particular beast in mind, and cannot be used to control
different kinds of creatures. It is unknown whether this is a constraint of design, or is simply because the
magic involved in their scribing is too fickle.
Even with their limitations, the Scrolls of Binding are prized throughout the many realms of the world.
They are a vanishing resource, for Kadon has been presumed dead for many thousands of years, and no
wizard since has quite managed to equal his aptitude.
CHOOSING SCROLLS OF BINDING

In dire times, the ability to augment your army's might with that of some monstrous thralls is without
price. Bound monsters give access to creatures and abilities beyond the norm, and present all manner of
exciting new tactical opportunities for a canny general to exploit.
In games of Storm of Magic, you have a Monsters and Magic allowance which enables you to spend
points on Mythic Artefacts, Pacts or Scrolls of Binding. Each Scroll of Binding allows you to include one
unit of bound monsters in your army.
BOUND MONSTERS AND YOUR ARMY

Once chosen, bound monsters are considered to be part of your army for all intents and purposes. The
only exceptions are that bound monster characters cannot ever join your other units, and your characters
cannot ever join units of bound monsters.
POINTS VALUE
Every Scroll of Binding has a point value that tells you how much of your Monsters and Magic points
allowance it will take up. Sometimes this points value will be increased, either by increasing the size of the
unit, or buying options for the monster in question.
UNIT SIZE
Most of the bound monsters are large, cantankerous creatures who operate as individuals. Others are
more accustomed to fighting in groups. If a Scroll of Binding's unit size is 1, then you can take only one
creature of that kind in the unit. If the Scroll of Binding's unit size is a range, for example 1-5, the unit
must be between I and 5 models in size, paying the points cost shown for each model in the unit.
EOUIPMENT
This is where you'll find the creature's equipment - normally some combination of claws, teeth, talons and
vicious temperament (al1 of which we count as a hand weapon).
Page 53

TROOP TYPE
Every Scroll of Binding unit has a troop type, and follows the appropriate rules presented in the
Warhammer rulebook.
MAGIC
Some creatures are Wizards and can cast spe1ls. Where this is the case, their Wizard level (as
well as the magic lore they use) will be presented on the Scroll of Binding.
BOUND MONSTER LIMIT

You can take a maximum of 2 of each Scroll of Binding in a standard army, and 4 of each Scroll of
Binding in a grand army - this is called the Bound Monster Limit. This represents the fact that only the
very largest of armies would have access to several copies of the same Scroll it isBinding
SPECIAL RULES
If the unit has any special rules, be they 'common' special rules from the Warhammer rulebook or rules
unique to the unit in question, they will be listed here.
OPTIONS
Many Scrolls of Binding have options that let you customise the unit's battlefield abilities. You're free to
model and paint your creatures to represent these upgrades (or not) as you see fit. However, before the
game begins, you must inform your opponent of any and all options you've bought for your creatures- we
can assume that some accomplished monster hunter in the enemy ranks is canny enough to spot these
details. Where the Scroll of Binding allows you to take a unit of more than one creature, all models in the
unit must have the same options, and you must pay the points cost of the option for each model.
MAGIC ITEMS
A handful of Scrolls of Binding also detail the magic items carried by the creature in question. Unless
otherwise stated, these magic items follow all the usual rules for their type, as detailed in the Warhammer
rulebook.
DIVERGENT ORIGINS
Many of the creatures on the Scrolls of Binding are also present in one or more of the Warhammer army
books (although many are present as character mounts, rather than autonomous critters in their own
right). Creatures chosen as part of your main army do not count towards the Bound Monster Limit - only
those chosen from the Monsters and Magic allowance points do.
For example, High Elves have their option to take Great Eagles as Rare Choices, as presented in their
Warhammer army book. In games of Storm of Magic, they can take more Great Eagles as part of their
Monsters and Magic allowance. The fact that they've chosen Great Eagles from their Rare choices doesn't
prevent them from binding more into their service.
You might occasionally find that the special rules, characteristic profile and/or points values presented on
the Scroll of Binding are different to the ones in a Warhammer army book. Where this happens, always
use the rules given in the place where you have bought the models from. This might sometimes lead to
two similar units in your army having subtly different rules, but this is fine as we can assume wild or
bound monsters will be slightly different to those trained to fight in an army.
Page 54

For example, in the Warriors of Chaos army book, Dragon Ogres have the Will of Chaos special rule, but they do not on
the Scroll of Binding in this volume. If a Warriors of Chaos army includes two units of Dragon Ogres, one from the army
book, and one from the Scroll of Binding then the first unit benefits from the Will of Chaos special rule, whilst the other
doesn't (in this case the first unit is more disciplined).
CHOMP AND TAIL ATTACKS

Some Scrolls of Binding present options that grant Tail Attacks, Chomp Attacks or modify, how a
model's Stomp works.
A model with a Chomp Attack has an additional Attack to the one shown on its profile. This Attack
should be rolled for separately, or with a different coloured dice, as the option that granted the Chomp
Attack will often also give the Chomp Attack further special rules. Additionally, a Chomp Attack always
receives a bonus of +1 To Hit against models with the ‘Large Target’ special rule, on account of it being
much easier to take a bite out of bigger enemies!
Tail Attacks are much like Chomp Attacks in that they grant the model an additional Attack that should
be rolled for separately (so a model with both a Chomp and a Tail Attack would have a total of +2
Attacks). A Tail Attack receives a bonus of + 1 To Hit against models fighting to the creature's rear -
they're much easier for the tail to get to grips with!
If the model's Attacks are normally subject to a special rule such as Poison or Killing B1ow, then this rule
also applies to the Tail and Chomp Attacks.

This brood mentality makes Terradons highly

However, Terradons are known to turn upon

blood, the savage creature becomes more ferocious still, biting and
gulping down hunks of flesh.
If the Troglodon deems it is not close enough to dart out and bite
its foe, the beast resorts to fouler tactics. With a hideous, hissing
whistle, the Troglodon draws in breath that it then uses to project
its toxic bile outwards. Although moderately short in range, the

counter from play.

including the Tilean Greybacks, Drokwald

there'd probably be no stopping them.
Being an unthinking creature with an indiscriminate
appetite means that a Troll can and will eat anything.
While it might prefer flesh and bone, any good,
rocks, or bits of metol will serve in between
successful hunts. The stomach of a Troll contains the
most powerful digestive juices known, explaining
why they can consume anything, including stones,
trees or even dirt. This potent bile makes Trolls
highly sought after by alchemists, potion-makers,
dark sorcerers and the more peculiar artists of the
world.
Perhaps the best known characteristic of Trolls is
that their hide is able to regrow almost as quickly as it
is damaged. If a Troll's hand is severed, a fresh one
will grow from the stump; if a Troll is decapitated, a

Troll Vomit
A unit of Trolls can make Vomit Attacks instead of their ordinary Attacks in close combat (but they can
still Stomp). Each Troll that is allowed to attack makes a single Vomit Attack at Strength 5. Trolls that are
allowed to make supporting attacks can make a Vomit Attack. A Vomit Attack hits automatically and no
armour saves are allowed.
Troll Types:
Some of the physical variations of Trolls have additional unique aspects. A unit of Trolls can be upgraded
to one of the following types at a cost of 10 points per model:
River Trolls live in bogs and untamed riverbanks. They are covered in a layer of slime that makes striking
them exceedingly difficult. Enemies attempting to attack a River Troll in close combat suffer a -1 penalty
on their To Hit rolls. Additionally they have the River Strider and Marsh Strider special rules.
Stone Trolls have rock-hard skin and are naturally resistant to magic. They have Magic Resistance (2) and
Scaly Skin (5+).

when they find a rich food source. A Giant can
consume on entire herd of livestock in a sitting
and will devastate any village he comes across,
pulling out and eating anything he can find
amidst the stomped and splintered structures.
Breweries are especially favoured targets, as
Giants are notorious drunkards. On occasion, a
Giant will be 'persuaded’ to join a passing army,
often Chaos-worshipping men from the north,
who lure the lummoxes with promises of
fighting and food.
In battle, Giants wade in with their tremendous
bulk, crushing the foe beneath their slab-like
feet, or sweeping any before them into the air
with clubs fashioned out of uprooted trees.
Sometimes a Giant will select a particular target
and reach down to pluck the unfortunate up.
These victims are sometimes bitten in two,

Fall Over
Giants are ungainly and frequently befuddled, as a consequence of which they often fall down. They are especially prone to
this if they've been raiding the local breweries, which isn't altogether uncommon.
A Giant must test to see whether it falls over if any of the following apply:
 If it is beaten in close combat. Test once results are established but before taking a Break test.
 If it is fleeing at the start of the Movement phase.
 When it crosses an obstacle. Test when the obstacle is reached.
 If the Giant decides to Jump Up and Down on an enemy. Test immediately beforehand.

Page 81

To see if a Giant falls over, roll a D6. On a roll of 1, the Giant falls over. A slain Giant falls over
automatically.
To determine in which direction the Giant falls, roll a scatter dice. Place the Fallen Giant template with its
feet at the model's base and its head in the direction of the fall - the Fallen Giant template is a special
shaped template, which otherwise uses all the template rules from the Warhammer rulebook (so any
models lying completely or partially under it are automatically hit).
A model hit by a falling Giant takes a Strength 6 hit that has the Multiple Wounds (D3) special rule. If the
unit is in combat and the Giant has fallen over whilst attempting to Jump Up and Down, Wounds
inflicted by a falling Giant count towards the combat result. A Giant that falls over automatically suffers 1
Wound. If the Giant is in combat, then this Wound counts towards combat resolution.
Once on the ground (you may lie the model down if you wish) a Giant gets up in his following
Movement phase, but may not move that turn. Whilst on the ground, a Giant may not attack, but he can
still defend himself so the enemy must still roll to score hits on him. If forced to flee whilst on the
ground, the Giant is slain - the enemy swarms over him and cuts him to pieces. If the Giant gets the
opportunity to pursue his foes whilst he's on the ground, he stands up instead. A Giant may attack in
close combat as usual on the turn he stands up.
Giant Special Attacks:
Giants do not attack in the same way as other creatures. They are far too large and fractious to take
orders and much too scatterbrained to have any sort of coherent plan. To determine what happens in
each Close Combat phase, pick a unit in base contact with the Giant and roll a D6 on one of the
following tables. Which table you use depends on the size of the Giant’s victim. When fighting characters
who are riding monsters, decide whether to attack the rider or mount before rolling on the table.

Yell and Bawl:
The Giant yel1s and bawls at the enemy. This is not a pleasant experience, as Giants are deafeningly loud and tend towards
poor oral hygiene. Neither the Giant nor models in contact with him actually fight if they have not already
done so this round. The Giants side automatically wins the combat by 2 points (if both sides have a Giant
that Yells and Bawls, the combat is a draw).

Page 82

Thump with Club:
The Giant brings down his club on a single model from the target unit that is in base contact. The target
may attempt to avoid the blow by passing an Initiative test (use the lowest if the model has several
different values). If the test is failed, the model takes 2D6 Wounds with no armour save allowed. If a
double is rolled the Giant's club embeds itself in the ground and the Giant cannot attack at all in the
following round of the same combat whilst he recovers his weapon.
'Eadbutt:
The Giant head-butts a single enemy model from the target unit, automatically inflicting 1 Wound with
no armour saves allowed. If the victim is wounded but not slain, then he is dazed and loses all of his
following Attacks. If the target has not yet attacked in that combat round, he loses those Attacks; if he
has already attacked, then he loses the next round's Attacks.
Jump Up and Down:
The Giant jumps up and down vigorously on top of the enemy. Before he starts, the Giant must test to
determine if he falls over (see previous page). If he falls over, work out where he falls and calculate
damage as already described. Any Wounds caused by the fall (on either side) count towards the combat
result. If the Giant remains on his none-too-nimble feet, the target unit sustains 2D6 Strength 6 hits.
Work out damage and saves as usual. Giants enjoy jumping up and down on their enemies so much that a
Giant that does so in one combat round will automatically do so in the following round if he is able to,
assuming that he did not fall over in the previous round. A Giant that starts to Jump Up and Down will
therefore continue to do so on the same target until he falls over, the target is destroyed, or the combat
ends.
Swing with Club:
The Giant swings his club across the enemy's ranks. The Giant inflicts D6 Strength 6 hits on the target
unit.
Pick Up and...
The Giant stoops down and grabs a single model in base contact from the target unit (Giant player's
choice). The target must make a single Attack to try to fend off the Giant's clumsy hand. If this Attack
causes an unsaved Wound, the Giant's Attack fails. Otherwise, the Giant grabs the model and the player
rolls a D6 to see what happens next:
D6 Result
1 Stuff into Bag. The Giant stuffs the victim into his bag along with sheep, cows and other plunder. The model
is removed as a casualty.
2 Throw Back into Combat. The victim is hurled into his own unit like a living missile. The victim is
removed as a casualty and D6 Strength 3 hits are inflicted on the unit (save as normal).
3 Hurl. The victim is hurled into an enemy unit within 12" of the Giant - randomly determine which. The victim
is removed as a casualty and the unit takes D6 Strength 3 hits (save as normal).
Unsaved Wounds from these hits count towards the Giant's combat result. If no enemy units are
in range, treat this as a Throw Back into Combat result instead.
4 Squash. This doesn't really bear thinking about. Suffice to say the model is removed as a casualty
5 Eat. The Giant gobbles his victim up swallowing him whole. The model is removed as a casualty.
6 Pick Another. The Giant hurriedly stuffs the victim into his bag or under his shirt (or down his trousers if
they're really unlucky). Treat the Attack as if the Giant had rolled the Stuff into Bag result, above,
and then choose another victim. The second victim makes a single Attack, as usual, to avoid
being picked up – if he fails, roll again on this table to see what the Giant does with him.

peasants) as their own.
Bonegrinder Giants are at least twice the size of

their lesser cousins, who themselves stand many
times the height of a Man. Accordingly, a
Bonegrinder Giant doesn't need to feel
particularly malicious in order to wreak untold
ruin – he simply needs to go for a gentle walk
whose path inadvertently leads him across an
army or town.
Whilst Bonegrinder Giants aren't necessarily

evil, they are bullies of the first order - a
situation perpetuated by the fact that they are
bigger than anyone else and regularly feel
obliged to 'do a little bullyin' to show oo' is
boss'. Though a Bonegrinder Giant's victims
may not realise it through their wholly
understandable haze of terror, the big galoot is
really just trying to impress them with how big
and strong he is. From the Bonegrinder's point
of view, it's for more practical to intimidate

cattle and barrels of beer than it is to go

To determine in which direction the Giant falls, roll a scatter dice. Place two Fallen Giant templates with
its feet at the model's base and its head in the direction of the fall in a line - the Fallen Giant template is a
special shaped template, which otherwise uses all the template rules from the Warhammer rulebook (so
any models lying completely or partially under it are automatically hit).
A model hit by a falling Giant takes a Strength 8 hit that has the Multiple Wounds (D6) special rule. If the

inflicted by a falling Giant count towards the combat result. A Giant that falls over automatically suffers 1

close combat as usual on the turn he stands up.
Giant Special Attacks:
Bonegrinder Giants don't fight with any real rhyme or reason, and tend to base their actions on what
seems like a good idea at the time, or else what appeals to their brutal sense of humour. To determine
what happens in each Close Combat phase, pick a unit in base contact with the Bonegrinder Giant and
roll a D6 on one of the following table. Which table you use depends on the size of the Bonegrinder
Giant's victim. When fighting characters who are riding monsters, decide whether to attack the rider or

D6 Result
1 Knobbly Knee. The Bonegrinder Giant slams his knee up into a vulnerable area. The victim immediately
suffers a Wound, with no armour saves allowed, and has their Weapon Skill and Initiative

2 'Eadbutt. The Bonegrinder Giant head-butts his enemy, automatically inflicting 1 Wound with no

3 Slam. The victim is slammed into the ground (or a nearby unit) with crushing force. The victim immediately
suffers 2D6 Wounds with no armour saves allowed. If there is another enemy unit in base
contact with the Giant, that unit also suffers 2D6 Wounds with no armour saves allowed. If there
are two or more other enemy units in base contact with the Giant, randomise to see which is
slammed.

4. Bear Hug. The Bonegrinder Giant throws his arms around his enemy and squeezes until its bones pop and
crack. Roll 2D6 and add the Giant's Strength. Your opponent rolls 2D6 and adds the victim's
Strength. If the Bonegrinder Giant's score is higher, the victim is removed as a casualty with no
saves of any kind allowed.
5 Fall Over. The Bonegrinder Giant topples over, but manages to place his opponent between him and the ground.
Roll 2D6 and add the Giant's Strength. Your opponent rolls 2D6 and adds the victim's
Toughness. If the Bonegrinder Giant's score is higher, the victim is removed as a casualty with
no saves of any kind allowed. Then continue to resolve the Giant falling over, in the direction of
the target.
6 Punch, and... The Bonegrinder Giant plants a meaty fist directly into his opponent's face before considering his
next move. The victim suffers D3 Wounds with no armour saves allowed, and then roll again on
this table. If the Giant rolls a succession of 6’s it is possible for him to repeatedly punch his
victim. Of course, if the punches kill the victim, the Giant immediately drops the corpse - there's
no further need to roll on the table
Vomit
Peering down at such tiny creatures makes the Bonegrinder Giant dizzy and messily sick! Place the flame template so
that the narrow end is in base contact with the Bonegrinder Giant and the body of the template is over at
least one other unit. Al1 models (friendly and enemy) under the template suffer an automatic Strength 5
hit with no armour saves allowed. All unsaved Wounds from these hits count
towards the combat result (unsaved Wounds on friendly models count to your opponent's combat result).
Once damage has been resolved, ro11 a D6. On a roll of 3 or less, the Bonegrinder Giant falls over.
Kick
Choose a model in base contact with the Bonegrinder Giant. That model immediately receives a brutal
toe-punt and is removed as a casualty. However, the victim's remains hurtle through its unit in the same
manner as a shot from a bolt thrower. The model immediately behind the victim suffers a Strength 8 hit
with the Multiple Wounds (D3) special rule. If he is slain, the model behind him suffers a Strength 7 hit
with the Multiple Wounds (D3) special rule, and so on, until the soggy remains fail to cause a casualty or
the unit runs out of ranks/files. Characters in a unit with 5 or more rank and file models of the same
troop type can attempt a Look Out Sir! to avoid being kicked, in which case an unfortunate rank and file
model will be punted through the unit instead (continue to resolve the bolt thrower effect from the same
point but against a rank and file model).
Crush!
The Bonegrinder Giant raises one mighty foot and slams it down on the troops scurrying below. Place the small round
template so that it is at least partially covering one or more models in base contact with the Giant, but not
the Giant himself The model under the centre of the template suffers an automatic Strength 10 hit with
the Multiple Wounds (D6) special rule. Models around him might get lucky – the giants aim may be off,
and only strike them a glancing blow (not that a glancing blow from a Giant is anything to be thankful
for). Roll an artillery dice and halve the result – all other models (friend and enemy) under the template
suffers an automatic hit of this strength. If the roll is a misfire, the Giant manages to miss the rest of the
unit – lucky them!

to catch the prey it so insatiably wants to devour.
However, mages, warlocks or witches who wield
magical power are seen as shining beacons and the
Cygor desires to consume such sweetmeats above all
others.
The mere presence of a Cygor is often enough to
cause enemy wizards to foul the casting of their

The swirling melee of combat is an indistinct blur to the Cygor, confusing and disorientating. Enemies imbued with magic,
however, it can see with unearthly clarity. When fighting enemy Wizards, models with any sort of magic item or
magical attacks, Undead, or creatures with a ward save, the Cygor re-rolls failed To Hit rolls.
Hurl Attack
Cygors will hurl chunks of rune-inscribed waystones torn from temples and other arcane monuments, into the ranks of any who might
stop them from seizing their prey. A Cygor may make a shooting attack each turn as if it were a stone thrower but there is
no minimum range. It can use this ability even if it moved earlier in the turn, but cannot do so if it marched. A
misfire will do a single Wound to the Cygor - it's a dangerous business hurling chunks of menhir around.
Soul-Eater
Cygors are intensely unsettling to enemy Wizards, for they know Cygors crave their souls above all else. Enemy Wizards within 24"
of one or more Cygors must take a Leadership test a: the beginning of the Magic phase. If the test is failed, the
Wizard has lost his nerve - any spell he fails to cast this Magic phase will result in a miscast. Note that there is no
unusual effect if the spell is merely dispelled.

Butt:
The Mammoth charges, ramming with its massive head. The Mammoth inflicts one automatic hit against one model in base
contact (your choice), causing D3 Strength 10 hits with the Muitiple Wounds (D3) special rule.
Gore:
The Mammoth stabs at the enemy with its massive tusks. The Mammoth makes D6 Attacks with the Heroic Killing Blow
special rule.
Bellow:
The Mammoth trumpets and bellows at the enemy. Neither the Mammoth nor any units in contact with it actually fight if
they have not already done so this round. The Mammoth's side automatically wins the combat by 2 points (if both
sides have a Mammoth that bellows the combat is a draw).
Trample:
The Mammoth tramples the enemy, crushing them beneath its massive weight. Any enemy unit in base contact suffers D6
Strength 10 hits for each rank of models it has.
Stomp:
The Mammoth does not attack this turn, but gets carried away with stomping. This turn the Mammoth's Thunderstomp causes
4D6 hits.
Pick up and...:
The Mammoth uses its agile trunk to grab a hapless victim that is either in base contact or touching a model in base
contact (it has a long reach). The target can make a single Attack to fend offthe trunk. If it causes an unsaved
Wound, the Mammoth's Attack fails, otherwise the Mammoth grabs the model. Roll a D6 to see what happens next:
Result
Throw Back Into Combat. The victim is hurled back into his own unit like a missile. The victim is removed as a
casualty, and 2D6 Strength 4 hits are inflicted on the unit.
Hurl. The victim is hurled into an enemy unit within 18" of the Mammoth - randomly determine which. The victim
is removed as a casualty and 2D6 Strength 4 hits are inflicted on the unit. Unsaved Wounds from these hits count
towards the Mammoth's combat result. If no enemy units are in range, treat this as a Throw Back Into Combat
result instead.
Eat. The Mammoth swings the victim up into its gaping mouth and munches him down with obvious satisfaction.
The model is removed as a casualty. The Mammoth immediately regains a single Wound lost earlier in the battle.
The Mammoth then picks another victim. This new victim makes a single Attack as usual to avoid being picked up -
if he fails, ro11 again on this table to see what the Mammoth does with him
Flail Wildly. The Mammoth swings its victim around with crazed abandon, slamming him repeatedly into rocks,
trees, friends and foes. All units (friend and foe but excluding the Mammoth itself) within 2D6" of the War
Mammoth suffer D6 Strength 6 hits. The initial victim suffers a Strength l0 hit for each other unit that suffers one
or more hits in this way (you need to do this at the end so you know how many other units have been hit). In the
unlikely event that the initial victim survives, place him at the back of the unit from which he was removed. All
unsaved Wounds caused count towards the combat result (unsaved Wounds to friendly models will count towards
your opponents combat result).
Throw Into the Air and Swat. With a triumphant trumpet, the Mammoth tosses the victim into the air and, with
impeccable timing, bats him at another enemy unit. Place the small round template anywhere within 4D6" of the
Chaos War Mammoth and scatter it D6". Any model partially or completely under the template suffers a Strength 4
hit. The initial victim then suffers 2D6 Wounds with no armour saves allowed (D6 for the swatting and D6 for the
impact, in case you're wondering). If the swatted model survives, place it within 1" of the template's final position,
and at least 1" away from other units. If the model cannot be placed or is a non-character model, remove it as a
casualty - it's been trampled!
Squash and Pick Another. The Mammoth's strong trunk constricts the victim until it pops! The model is removed
as a casualty. The Mammoth then picks another victim. This new victim makes a single Attack as usual to avoid
being picked up – if he fails, roll again on this table to see what the Mammoth does with him.

SPECIAL RULES (YOUNG DRAGON, DRAGON AND GREAT

DRAGON): Fly, Large Target, Scaly Skin 3+, Terror.
Breath Weapons
Each Dragon must choose a type from below, which determines the nature of its Breath Weapon.

Page 102

 Fire Dragons are hot-tempered and intolerant beasts whose flaming breath and ready rage have long since
passed into legend as being synonymous with Dragon kind. Fire Dragons have a Strength 4 Breath
Weapon with the Flaming Attacks special ru1e.
 Black Dragons were always ranked amongst the most malevolent of creatures, even before they were warped by
the dark sorceries of the Witch King Malekith. They are indiscriminate murderers, revelling in slaughter for its
own sake. Black Dragons have a Strength 4 Breath Weapon, and any unit taking casualties from
the Breath Weapon must pass a Leadership test with a -3 modifier in order to declare charges in
their next Movement phase. Units that are Immune to Psychology take damage as normal but do
not suffer any additional effects.
 Frost Dragons are creatures of frost and ice, the chi1l of midwinter given vengeful and scaly form. They are slow
to anger, presumably a result of their own chill nature being combined with cold-biooded physiology. Frost
Dragons have a Strength 3 Breath Weapon. In addition, any unit hit by the Breath Weapon gains
the Always Strikes Last special rule until rhe end of the following turn.
 Forest Dragons are torpid and somnolent creatures given to slumbering under forest canopies, wound about the
gnarled boughs of mighty trees. They are incredibly poisonous, and even the merest wisp of their clammy breath can
kill. Forest Dragons have a Strength 2 Breath Weapon that has a -3 armour save modifier.
 Storm Dragons are rarely encountered at ground level, for they love to swoop and dive through the heart of the
mightiest thunderstorms. This builds up a crackling electric charge upon the Dragon's azure scales, which it can
then 'spit' as a ball of lightning. The Breath Weapon of a Storm Dragon always wounds on a D6
result equal to the victim's armour save. Models with no armour save cannot be wounded by a
Storm Dragon's Breath Weapon.
MAGIC (EMPEROR DRAGON): Some of the wisest Emperor Dragons are mighty
Wizards in their own right. An Emperor Dragon can have up to 4 Wizard levels at a cost of 35pts per lvl.
SPECIAL RULES (EMPEROR DRAGON): Fly, Immune to Psychology, Large
Target, Scaly Skin (3+), Terror.
Breath Weapons
Each Emperor Dragon must choose a type from below, which determines its Breath Weapon.
 Doomfire Dragons are swift to wrath and take an abiding joy in setting alight the towns and fortresses oflesser races.
Doomfire Dragons have a Strength 6 Breath Weapon with the Flaming Attacks special rule. A Doomfire
Dragon with Wizard levels always uses the Lore of Fire.
 Nightmare Dragons are believed not to be real creatures at all, but wild currents of Amethyst Magic given life.
Nightmare Dragons have the same Breath Weapon as a Black Dragon but hits from it are resolved at a
Strength of 5 instead of a Strength of 4 (all other effects remain unchanged). A Nightmare Dragon with
Wizard levels always uses the Lore of Death.
 Ice Dragons are the most sedate and slumbersome of their kind. Ice Dragons have a Strength 5 Breath Weapon.
In addition, any unit hit by the Breath Weapon gains the Always Strikes Last special rule until the end of
the following turn. An Ice Dragon with Wizard levels always uses the Lore of Light.
 Venom Dragons are poisonous within and without. Despite this, Venom Dragons see themselves as agents of rebirth, of
culling the weak so that new life might arise. Venom Dragons have a Strength 4 Breath Weapon that has a -5
armour save modifier. A Venom Dragon with Wizard levels always uses the Lore of Life.
 Great Storm Dragons are wild and unpredictable, striking without warning from a clear sky. The Breath Weapon
of a Great Storm Dragon always wounds on a D6 result equal to the victim's armour save. Models with no
armour save cannot be wounded by this Breath Weapon. A Great Storm Dragon with Wizard levels always
uses the Lore of Heavens

is due to the enthusiasm with which Bretonnion
Knights hunt and slay them - even the stupidest
creature can make out the intentions of a Knight
Errant at full flood, and Cockatrices are, if anything,
more intelligent than most knights.
In truth, the Cockatrice is not a bold fighter and
prefers to lurk around the fringes of a battlefield
where it can safely feast on the dead and dying.
Despite the beast's inclination for self-preservation,
only a very foolish warrior will corner a Cockatrice.
When the beast is desperate, it goes berserk,
shrieking and clawing at all who approach it with a
maddened ferocity that more than compensates for
its innate cowardice.
Whilst the Cockatrice is not so physically fearsome as
many other monsters, it has a curious ability thot
makes it the equal of even the mightiest Dragon. The
Cockatrice can petrify foes with its magical gaze,
literally turning them to stone with a glance unless
they can evade its sorcerous stare. This ability makes
the Cockatrice a deadly opponent, for a warrior must
try to vanquish the beast without ever setting sight
upon it. Even a glimpse of the Cockatrice's visage is

for the promised day when the mists will rise and they can
return home once more.
It is rare to knowingly encounter one of the reclusive

Truthsayers, for they are naturally suspicious of all that
walks on two legs. Being masters of natural magic,
Truthsayers are able to shapeshift into beasts of all sizes.
Thus do they avoid unwelcome compony: by evasion in the
form of a hawk, or by bloodshed in the form of a raging
Dragon. Yet if the Truthsayers themselves are seldom
encountered, the some cannot be said of their domains,
which are scattered through the wilderness. In such remote
places, even the lowest beasts show glimmerings of
intelligence and the vegetation grows wilder, stronger and
hungrier thon it ought.
When a storm of magic occurs, the Truthsayers steal away

from their hillside hermitages to seek out allies. Only with
aid can they hope to marshal enough magical power to
undo the spells of shrouding that conceal their homeland.
Driven by this desperation, many a Truthsayer has found
himself battling alongside unsavoury allies, harnessing his
mastery of Jade Magic to a destructive cause. The goal on
these occasions is to work a greater good by committing a
small evil, but with every step along this path, the

are traditionally portrayed as harbingers of doom

offering service in exchange for petty tokens or
trinkets. Yet in the battle's wake the Dark Emissary
does not depart, but is retained by a ruler who grows
to depend on the wizened creature's sorceries and
advice. As the lord's reliance upon the Dark Emissary
grows, so does his own character grow ever crueller
and his ambitions broader. Without warning, when
the lord needs aid the most, the Dark Emissary will
disappear, leaving his victim to suffer the
consequences of his hubris. Who can say what the
Dark Emissary's motive was? Did it seek to foment
anarchy for its own sake, or does it work to a wider
plan? None know the answer.

the form of forbidding, craggy piles of rock, crudely built in
the semblance of the castles of more civilised races. Such
dwellings are seldom seen by outsiders, for they are
wreathed in thick mist, a miasma which is magically
generated by the Fimir to shield their fortresses from
prying eyes, and themselves from the harsh glare of the
sun.
Long before the rise of Mon, the Fimir worshipped the

Chaos Gods, and for a time enjoyed their favour. Alas, the
Eye of the Gods was swiftly drawn to the more vibrant and
amusing race of Man, and the Fimir were abandoned,
reduced to seeking boons from bound Daemons where
once they had enjoyed the blessings of gods. Nowadays,
the Fimir are a dwindling and reclusive race, little given to
leaving their swampy fastnesses, save for the occasional
raid for food and slaves. Only the Fimir sorcerers, known
as Dirach or sometimes as Balefiends, spend prolonged
periods in the lands beyond the mists. Such creatures have
but one goal - to destabilise the barrier between the mortal
world and the Realm of Chaos, thus aiding the Chaos Gods
to their ultimate victory, and so regaining their favour.
A Balefiend's sorceries seem crude and ritualistic compared

to the magic of Elves or even Men, but they are no less
potent, for they are woven with power stolen from
Daemons. A Balefiend's cyclopean eye can see the ebb and

other Wizards. Note that power dice channelled by the Eye of the Balefiend still count towards your
side's maximum. The Fimir Balefiend channels dispel dice normally

Zoats are powerful wizards, able to tap into the Winds of

Magic in on instinctive manner, rather than through study
and ritual. Whilst this means thot a Zoat will never prove
as versatile a wizard as an Elf, or even a Man, their innate
control over the lifewind, Ghyran, surpasses all but the
most learned High Elf Mages. Indeed, many a Wood Elf
Spellsinger will seek out a Zoat in order to learn from it,
but as the Elves of Athel Loren find Zoats no less elusive
than do other beings, very few succeed in their search.
In the ordinary run of things, Zoats are seldom

encountered outside their woodland homes. Indeed, even
within such places, it is rare to catch sight of one. When
intruders close or danger threatens, Zoats will rouse the
trees and undergrowth to crush and strangle interlopers,
rather than take direct action themselves. In this way, Zoats
can avoid detection, and even a single such creature can
imbue a forest with a reputation so dreadful that even
marauding Orcs and rampaging warherds will give the area
a wide berth. Where sorcery alone is not sufficient, the

this avenue of investigation, those who seek to

SORCEROUS PACTS
In times of dire need, a Wizard can harness the power of a storm of magic to strike an alliance
with those creatures to whom magic is the stuff of life. Such Pacts always exact a higher price than
the Wizard is prepared to pay, but such costs can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Pacts are special Scrolls of Binding that allow your Wizard to make a temporary alliance with certain
magical creatures. Unlike other Scrolls of Binding, you may only take up to one Pact. However, adding a
Pact to your army allows you to field several units. Each Pact represents how one of your Wizards has
struck an alliance with the creatures in question or more likely, used some of the storm of magic's power
to bind them to his will. Such things happen only at a time of last resort. It's a short step from raising
Skeleton Warriors in order to save the town, to becoming the cackling mad Wizard ostracised because of
disturbing habits such as collecting dismembered corpses.
FORMING THE PACT

A Pact Scroll won't provide the points values, unit sizes, characteristic profiles or special rules for the
units it allows you to command. Instead, it will direct you to the relevant Warhammer army book from
which you can select these forces. This is because, unlike other Scrolls of Binding, a Pact is literally an
alliance with another army, and rather than print information here that might get superseded if the army
book gets updated; it makes more sense for you to confer directly with the source.
Each Pact will tell you what units you can select to add to your army. This will normally consist of one or
more characters; several Core units and up to one each of special and Rare units. These units can be given
any options, upgrades or magic items that they would normally be entitled to select – provided that you
don't spend more points than are in your Monsters and Magic allowance, of course. Note that you don't
have to worry about percentage allowances when you take a Pact – the unit limits are the only ones that
should concern you.
Also note that while some Pacts require certain character types, a Pact must always have a character to act
as its General.
PACTS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

Pact units use the rules for Allied Armies given in the Warhammer rulebook, albeit allies under your
control, rather than that of another player. They always begin the game as Trusted Allies, even if they
would normally be Suspicious Allies, or even Desperate Allies (that's the magical power of a Pact!). This
might occasionally yield combinations that feel a little unusual, so it's up to you (as the controlling player)
to come up with a suitable explanation for the presence of Daemons in your Ogre Kingdoms army) or
the horde of Undead that your Empire Wizard has called up.
However, an alliance with a Pact is also always treated as a Fragile Alliance; sooner or later one of the
parties in the Pact will decide that their comrades have outlived their usefulness. Unlike a normal alliance,
an alliance with a Pact can deteriorate past the level of a Desperate Alliance. If this happens, the units
in the Pact simply vanish and are immediately removed from the battlefield as if they were casualties.
PACTS AND CHARACTERS

As is normal for characters obtained through Scrolls of Binding, characters from Pacts cannot join units
from your main army. However, they can join other eligible units from within the Pact, provided they
could normally do so.

Page 122

PACT WITH THE UNHOLY DAEMONS OF THE CHAOS GODS
On the face of it, the Daemons of Chaos are easily bound into service. After all, a Daemon is not merely
a creature animated by sorcery - for it, magic is the very stuff of life and being - like air is to mortals. In
theory a wizard has but to grasp these reins of arcane might and the Daemons and all their fell powers
shall be his to control. However Daemons are nothing if not cunning and it is rare to find one that is as
entirely servile as it pretends to be. Only the strongest of binding spells can guarantee that a Daemon
continues to do the bidding of its 'master', rather than reversing the relationship.
This Pact contains the following units from Warhammer: Daemons of Chaos:
 0-1 Greater Daemon (Bloodthirster Lord of Change, Great Unclean One or Keeper of Secrets)
 0-1 Daemonic Herald
 0-1 Special Character
 1+ Core Units
 0-l Special Unit per Core unit
 0-l Rare Unit per Core unit
PACT WITH THE DREADED VAMPIRE COUNTS OF SYLVANIA

Should a wizard wish to command an Undead horde without himself dabbing in forbidden (and
distasteful) Necromancy, he can do little better than to bind a Vampire to his service. The Vampire, after
all, is a practiced Necromancer in his own right and is more than capable of sustaining a host of the living
dead. However, the wizard must be confident in this single binding. Countless are the sorcerers who have
unwittingly begun a life of Undead thralldom by failing to bind a Vampire quite so well as they ought.
This Pact contains the following units from Warhammer: Vampire Counts:
 1 Vampire or Vampire Lord

 0-1 Necromancer or Wight Lord
 0-1 Special Character
 1+ Core Units
 0-1 Special Unit per Core unit
 0-1 Rare Unit per Core unit
PACT WITH THE TOMB KINGS OF ETERNAL NEHEKHARA

Binding a Tomb King has all the advantages of binding a Vampire - namely that an army can be at your
command with only a single spell. Such bindings come with greater peri1, however. Earn a Vampire's
enmity and you have transgressed against a single being. Earn the enmity of a Tomb King, and an
entire kingdom will be arrayed against you. Scant wonder is it then that most wizards sweeten their Pacts
with Tomb Kings by pledging the return of a long-ago stolen artefact. Sometimes this is enough to stay
the Undead monarch's wrath...
This Pact contains the following units from Warhammer: Tomb Kings:
 1 Tomb King, Tomb Prince, Tomb Herald or Necrotect

 1 Liche Priest or Liche High Priest
 0-1Special Character
 1+ Core Units
 0-l Special Unit per Core unit
 0-l Rare Unit per Core unit
