Fyreslayers
From flame-filled holds and deep mountain vaults, the Fyreslayers march out to war. Brash and unforgiving, they charge into battle shouting fierce war cries and wielding finely honed axes, the power of the mighty warrior-god Grimnir flowing into them from glittering golden runes hammered into their ruddy flesh.
This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Fyreslayers miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting allegiance abilities to a range of warscrolls and warscroll battalions. The rules are split into the following sections.

Battle Traits
Lodges
Across the Mortal Realms dwell the different lodges of the Fyreslayers, each with their own distinct culture and traditions.
You can pick 1 of the following subfactions for your army (core rules, 27.2.1). All FYRESLAYERS units in your army gain the keyword of the subfaction you picked, and you can use the allegiance abilities for that subfaction. If a unit already has a different subfaction keyword on its warscroll, it cannot gain another one. This does not preclude you from including the unit in your army, but you cannot use the allegiance abilities for its subfaction.Fierce Counter-attack
The oathsworn warriors of the Fyreslayers are as skilled in the art of war as they are stubborn, and it is this indomitable nature that allows them to unleash devastating counter-attacks upon a charging foe.
You can use this command ability at the start of the enemy combat phase. The unit that receives the command must be an AURIC HEARTHGUARD, HEARTHGUARD BERZERKERS or VULKITE BERZERKERS unit that is within 3" of an enemy unit that made a charge move in the same turn and not within 3" of any enemy units that have not made a charge move in the same turn. The strike-first effect applies to that unit until the end of that phase. A unit cannot receive this command more than once per battle.Grimwrath Oaths
Before battle, each Grimwrath Berzerker swears a sacred oath to Grimnir that they will fulfil a certain deed in his honour that day.
At the start of the first battle round, you can pick 1 of the following oaths for each friendly GRIMWRATH BERZERKER to swear. The rule for that oath applies until the end of the battle. If your army includes more than 1 GRIMWRATH BERZERKER, you cannot pick the same oath more than once.‘I will cut down the priests of Grimnir’s enemies!’: If the target is a PRIEST that does not have the FYRESLAYERS keyword, add 1 to hit rolls and wound rolls for attacks made by this unit, and add 1 to the damage inflicted by each of those attacks that is successful.
‘I will guard them with my life!’: Instead of picking 1 friendly AURIC HEARTHGUARD or HEARTHGUARD BERZERKERS unit on the battlefield to be the retinue of an Auric Runefather or Auric Runeson, you can pick this unit to be that units retinue.
‘I will let nothing stand in my way!’: This unit can run and still charge later in the turn. In addition, you can re-roll run rolls and charge rolls for this unit.
‘I will prove Grimnir’s might to our allies!’: Add 1 to hit rolls and wound rolls for attacks made by this unit if it is within 12" of any friendly allied units.
‘I will not be stopped!’: This unit has a ward of 6+. If this unit is within 3" of any enemy units, it has a ward of 5+ instead.
‘I will strike hard and true in Grimnir’s name!’: If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made by this unit is 6, that attack causes 1 mortal wound to the target in addition to any damage it inflicts.
Ur-gold Runes
In battle, a Fyreslayer’s ur-gold runes are awakened, filling them with the blazing power of Grimnir.
At the start of your hero phase, you can activate 1 of the following 6 types of ur-gold rune. To do so, state which rune will be activated and make an activation roll by rolling a dice. On a 1-5, the standard effect applies. On a 6, the enhanced effect also applies. The effects last until the start of your next hero phase.Each ur-gold rune can only be activated once per battle, and no more than 1 rune can be activated at the same time. Once you have used a rune, you can choose a new one to activate in your next hero phase, but you cannot activate the same one again.
RUNE OF FURY
Standard effect: Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made with melee weapons by friendly FYRESLAYERS units.Enhanced effect: Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons used by friendly FYRESLAYERS units.
RUNE OF FARSIGHT
Standard effect: Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made with Fyresteel Throwing Axes by friendly FYRESLAYERS units.Enhanced effect: Add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made with Fyresteel Throwing Axes by friendly FYRESLAYERS units.
RUNE OF SEARING HEAT
Standard effect: If the unmodified wound roll for an attack made by a friendly FYRESLAYERS unit is 6, that attack causes 1 mortal wound to the target in addition to any damage it inflicts.Enhanced effect: When this rune is activated, roll a dice for each enemy unit within 3" of any friendly FYRESLAYERS units. On a 2+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.
RUNE OF AWAKENED STEEL
Standard effect: Improve the Rend characteristic of melee weapons used by friendly FYRESLAYERS units by 1.Enhanced effect: Improve the Rend characteristic of melee weapons used by friendly FYRESLAYERS units by a further 1.
RUNE OF FIERY DETERMINATION
Standard effect: Friendly FYRESLAYERS units have a ward of 6+.Enhanced effect: Friendly FYRESLAYERS HEROES have a ward of 5+.
RUNE OF RELENTLESS ZEAL
Standard effect: Add 2" to the Move characteristic of friendly FYRESLAYERS units.Enhanced effect: Add 2 to charge rolls for friendly FYRESLAYERS units.
Blaze of Fury
In battle, particularly mighty Fyreslayer warriors can call upon the spirit of Grimnir to fill them with fury until their ur-gold runes glow white-hot.
At the start of your hero phase, you can carry out this heroic action with a friendly FYRESLAYERS HERO instead of any other heroic action you can carry out with that HERO.

Lodges
GreyfyrdThere are but two subjects that the Greyfyrd willingly discuss: mercenary jobs - for they eagerly hire out their war services to any that meet their price - and the long line of bold heroes that the lodge has produced. Many of the greatest Fyreslayer warriors have come from Greyfyrd, a fact that makes the lodge justifiably proud. Spoils of Victory: Famed mercenaries, the Greyfyrd lodge has countless treasures and artefacts stored within its vaults and many heroes worthy of wielding them.Add 1 to the Wounds characteristic of friendly GREYFYRD HEROES that do not have a mount. In addition, you can pick 2 additional artefacts of power and give them to 2 GREYFYRD HEROES in your army that do not have a mount. | ||
HermdarThe Hermdar way of war is based on an initial aggressive attack that seamlessly shifts into a fierce defence. It is this approach that allows them to storm enemy strongholds and then to protect the slaves they have freed. Such tactics also come into play when they find and secure sources of ur-gold. This is vital, as they cannot count on as steady an income of gold for mercenary deeds as their rival lodges. Seize by Force: The warriors of the Hermdar lodge assault enemy positions with a fiery determination.If a friendly HERMDAR unit wholly within enemy territory or wholly within 12" of an objective fails a battleshock test, halve the number of models that flee (rounding up). | ||
LofnirNone can best the Lofnir in the finding of Magmadroth eggs or the raising of the hatchlings, and they boast some of the largest and most ferocious specimens of these fiery beasts in all of the realms. The proud and ancient bloodlines of the creatures are as venerated as that of the lodge’s royal family. Venerators of Vulcatrix: The warriors of the Lofnir hold great esteem for Vulcatrix and her offspring.Add 2 to the Wounds characteristic of friendly LOFNIR MAGMADROTH units. In addition, up to 3 LOFNIR MAGMADROTH units in your army can be given a different mount trait instead of only 1. | ||
PATH TO GLORY
The following section includes rules for your Path to Glory campaign if you are using a Fyreslayers army.
Here, you will find a Magmahold roster to add to your Path to Glory roster. On your Magmahold roster, you can record how much gold is in your treasury, your reputation score and details of any mercenary contracts you have accepted.Vaults of Gold
During your Path to Glory campaign, you will earn gold in a number of ways, such as by fulfilling mercenary contracts. Keep a note of how much gold you have in your treasury. Depending on the amount, your warlord may earn bonus renown points in the aftermath sequence of a Path to Glory battle, as long as they were included in your army. The amount they receive is listed below:
|
In addition, you can spend gold from your treasury in the following ways:
|
In step 7 of the aftermath sequence, you can choose to generate a mercenary contract for your army and then decide whether or not you will accept it. To generate a mercenary contract, follow these steps:
- Determine the paymaster of the contract.
- Determine the quarry of the contract.
- Choose whether or not to accept the contract.
Reputation
A Fyreslayers Path to Glory army has a reputation score that affects the types of mercenary contracts it is offered. To begin with, a Fyreslayers Path to Glory army has a reputation score of 0. During your Path to Glory campaign, reputation modifiers may be applied to your score. As a result, your reputation score can be negative as well as positive (see The Effects of Reputation).The Paymaster
The first step is to determine who the paymaster of the mercenary contract is. This is the benefactor who will honour the payment of the contract upon fulfilment. First, determine the paymaster’s Grand Alliance by rolling 2D6, adding your reputation score to the roll and consulting the table below:
|
Then, roll twice on the table below, consulting the appropriate Grand Alliance column, to give the paymaster first a name and then a title.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Quarry
The next step is to determine the quarry of the contract by rolling on the table below. Each quarry comes with a reward and a reputation modifier. If the reward requires a dice roll (e.g. D6 x 1,000 gold), make the dice roll before deciding whether or not to accept the contract. The reputation modifier is not applied to your reputation score until after you have fulfilled the contract and received the reward.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accepting the Contract
The final step is to decide whether or not you wish to accept the mercenary contract. If you choose not to accept it, you must wait until the aftermath sequence of your next Path to Glory battle before you can generate another. If you choose to accept it, make a note of its details on your Magmahold roster. A Fyreslayers army can only have 1 mercenary contract at a time, and you cannot forfeit a contract once you have chosen it - a Fyreslayer never breaks an oath!Fulfilling the Contract
To fulfil the mercenary contract, your army must win a major victory against an army whose faction belongs to the Grand Alliance listed as the quarry of the contract. In step 7 of the aftermath sequence of that battle, you receive the reward and your reputation score is modified by the amount specified for that contract.Having completed the above steps, you can immediately generate a new mercenary contract. If you wish, you can choose to continue to work for the same paymaster. If you do so, skip step 1 when generating the new mercenary contract. In addition, when rolling on the table above to determine the quarry of the new contract, you can roll 2 dice instead of 1 and pick either result. This represents the trust you have earned from that paymaster.
The Effects of Reputation
In addition to modifying the roll that determines the paymaster of a mercenary contract, your reputation score has the following effects depending on whether it is positive or negative.| The combination of mercenary contracts your Fyreslayers army chooses and the effects these contracts have on your reputation score provide you with an opportunity to get invested in the narrative of your army. Perhaps you might choose to accept any contract that comes your way. While this a fine way to earn a steady stream of gold, doing so will keep your reputation score relatively low. Alternatively, you could try to find an Order paymaster and work hard to build a strong reputation until you are able to haggle for bigger rewards. Or maybe you wish to serve the dark powers of Chaos; to do so is certainly lucrative, but eventually you will find your name tarnished as your allies begin to spurn you. | ||
Positive Reputation Score
Upon fulfilling a mercenary contract, if you have a positive reputation score and an Order paymaster, you can haggle over the reward. Alas, there is no use in trying to negotiate with paymasters from other allegiances. If you choose to haggle, roll a dice. On an unmodified roll of 1, the negotiations sour. You still receive the reward, but instead of modifying your reputation score by the amount specified, you must subtract D6 from your reputation score. On any other roll, add your reputation score to the roll and consult the table below to see how much gold you receive in addition to the reward. Note that haggling takes place before your reputation score is modified by the amount specified for the contract.
|
Negative Reputation Score
If your reputation score is -10 or less, any exploration rolls that correspond to the ‘Ancient Roads’ territory are treated as ‘Barren Wastes’ instead. In addition, upon fulfilling a mercenary contract, in step 7 of the aftermath sequence, if your reputation score is still -10 or less after it has been modified by the amount specified for that contract, you must roll a dice for each allied unit on your order of battle. On a 1, that unit deserts you and you must remove it from your order of battle. Furthermore, if your reputation score is -10 or less, you cannot add any new allied units to your order of battle.Quests
When you pick a quest, you can pick from the following quests in addition to those in the Core Book.QUEST Temper of FlamesMagmadroths are wild of heart and only the most formidable Fyreslayers can truly tame them. Pick 1 MAGMADROTH unit from your order of battle that does not have a mount trait enhancement, and pick 1 mount trait from the Offspring of Vulcatrix table. Note these down in your quest log.At the end of a Path to Glory battle, you complete this quest if that unit destroyed any enemy units during the battle. When you complete this quest, you can add the mount trait you picked to your vault but it can only be given to the unit you picked when you embarked on this quest (note down the name of the unit next to the mount trait). If that unit is removed from your order of battle, then remove the mount trait from your vault too. | ||
QUEST Find the Lost HoldMany magmaholds fell during the Age of Chaos, besieged by the forces of the Dark Gods. You have heard tell of one such hold nearby. If you can locate it, you can lay claim to any treasure within and right an ancient wrong against your kind. At the end of a Path to Glory battle, roll a dice for each unit in your army that is wholly within enemy territory. For each 6, you discover 1 clue as to the magmahold’s whereabouts. Keep a tally of how many clues you discover.Once you have discovered 3 or more clues, you can fight Path to Glory battles using the ‘Reclaim the Hold’ battleplan. If you win a major victory or a minor victory when fighting ‘Reclaim the Hold’, you complete this quest. The rewards of completing this quest are listed in the ‘Reclaim the Hold’ battleplan. | ||
QUEST Settle a GrudgeYour name has been sullied by defeat, and you cannot let this stand. A grudge is recorded - one you vow to settle in the days to come. You can only pick this quest after a battle in which your opponent won a major victory. Make a note of your opponent’s name and the faction of their army in your quest log.At the end of a Path to Glory battle, you complete this quest if you won a major victory and your opponent’s army was from the same Grand Alliance as the faction written in your quest log. When you complete this quest, if your opponent’s army was from the same Grand Alliance as the faction written in your quest log, you earn D6 glory points. If the faction was the same, you earn 2D6 glory points instead, and if both the faction and your opponent were the same, you earn 3D6 glory points instead. | ||
QUEST Slay Bitter EnemiesFyreslayers show particular disdain for skaven and grots, both of which are often encountered deep underground. You have sworn an oath to drive these vile creatures front beneath your magmahold. At the end of a Path to Glory battle, you complete this quest if you won a major victory and your opponent’s army was a Skaven or Gloomspite Gitz army.When you complete this quest, each unit in your army that was not destroyed earns 1 bonus renown point. In addition, if the enemy general was slain by an attack made by your general, your general earns 5 bonus renown points. | ||
Veteran Abilities
Each time a Fyreslayers unit on your Path to Glory roster gains a veteran ability, you can pick from the following veteran abilities in addition to those in the Core Book.
|
Territories
When making an exploration roll, if the roll is 61-66, that roll will correspond to a territory on the table below. Alternatively, you can pick 1 result from the Territories table in the Core Book that corresponds to a roll of 21-42. Some of these territories allow you to send a unit to them. A unit cannot be sent to more than 1 territory in each aftermath sequence, and any such units cannot be picked for the ‘Borderlands’ territory in the Core Book.
|
Heroic Upgrades
During your Path to Glory campaign, you may be able to pick heroic upgrades for your HEROES. A heroic upgrade replaces the warscroll of a HERO with another, more powerful one and represents them becoming a mighty champion in your army.
You can pick a heroic upgrade in step 7 of the aftermath sequence. To do so, consult the table below and pick 1 of the eligible options. Each heroic upgrade lists the warscroll the HERO will be upgraded to, which warscroll is required, the amount of renown points the HERO must have, and the amount of glory points you must spend. Once you have picked a heroic upgrade, replace your HERO’s warscroll on your order of battle with the new one chosen. You can only pick 1 heroic upgrade in each aftermath sequence.
If the new warscroll is a type that is limited on your order of battle - for example, if it is a MONSTER - you will need to have increased your order of battle limits to accommodate it before it can be upgraded.

CORE ENHANCEMENTS
When you pick a heroic upgrade for a HERO, they keep their renown points and any core enhancements that they are still eligible for. If your HERO had any core enhancements that they are no longer eligible for, they lose those core enhancements. If this enables you to pick a new core enhancement for your order of battle, you can do so.GRIMNIR’S LINEAGE
AURIC RUNESONS can only have their warscroll upgraded to that of an AURIC RUNEFATHER if there are no other AURIC RUNEFATHERS on your order of battle.

Battleplan Reclaim the HoldAfter weeks of searching, you have located the magmahold that was destroyed during the Age of Chaos. What lurks in its depths is unknown, but if you drive out the enemies within and reignite its long-dormant master forge, you can lay claim to whatever treasure remains in its vaults. QUEST BATTLEPLAN You can use this battleplan if one player is using a Fyreslayers army, has embarked on the ‘Find the Lost Hold’ quest and has discovered 3 or more clues. Use the Path to Glory battlepack.TUNNEL FIGHTING This battle uses the Tunnel Fighting rules. The Monstrous Denizen rules do not apply to this battle.THE ARMIES The player embarked on the ‘Find the Lost Hold’ quest is the reclaimer. Their opponent is the desecrator. The reclaimer must use a Fyreslayers army.CONTINGENTS The desecrator must split their army into a first contingent and a second contingent. Each contingent must have as close to the same number of units as possible.THE BATTLEFIELD The players roll off. The winner sets up the battlefield’s terrain features and then the other player chooses which long edge of the battlefield is the northern edge. Then, place 3 terrain features representing the master forge and the 2 braziers on the battlefield as shown on the map. We recommend using a Magmic Battleforge for the master forge (although it is treated as a normal terrain feature in this battle).After the terrain features have been set up, starting with the player who won the roll off, each player picks 1 terrain feature and rolls on the Mysterious Terrain table (core rules, 28.1.3), to determine which scenery rule applies to that terrain feature during the battle. FACTION TERRAIN The desecrator can set up a faction terrain feature.DEPLOYMENT The reclaimer sets up their army first, wholly within their territory and more than 9" from their opponent’s territory. Then, the desecrator picks 1 of their contingents and sets up all of the units in that contingent wholly within their territory. The other contingent starts the battle in reserve and will arrive as described below.BATTLE LENGTH The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds.FIRST TURN The reclaimer chooses which player takes the first turn in the first battle round.REINFORCEMENTS At the end of the desecrator’s movement phase, they can set up any of their reserve units wholly within 7" of a battlefield edge and more than 3" from all enemy units.THE FORGE-FIRES The master forge and braziers are either extinguished or rekindled. They start the battle extinguished.At the end of each turn, if the reclaimer controls the master forge or any braziers, they can attempt to rekindle them. To rekindle a brazier, the reclaimer rolls a dice, adding 1 to the roll if there are any friendly FYRESLAYERS PRIESTS within 3" of the brazier. On a 3+, the brazier is rekindled. To rekindle the master forge, the reclaimer rolls a dice, adding 1 to the roll for each brazier that is rekindled and adding 1 to the roll if there are any friendly FYRESLAYERS PRIESTS within 3" of the master forge. On a 5+, the master forge is rekindled. At the end of each turn, if the desecrator controls the master forge or any braziers, they can extinguish them. GLORIOUS VICTORY When the battle ends:
PATH TO GLORY REWARDS If the reclaimer wins this battle, they complete the ‘Find the Lost Hold’ quest. The reclaimer then rolls a D3 and consults the table below, adding 1 to the roll if they won a major victory.

Unless noted otherwise, the models that can issue commands and the units they can issue them to are as follows:- Unit champions can issue commands to their own unit (see 22.3.2).
- HEROES can issue commands to units that are wholly within 12" of them.
- Generals can issue commands to units that are wholly within 18" of them.

11.1 Charge Moves
When you attempt a charge with a unit, make a charge roll for the unit by rolling 2D6. You can then make a charge move with each model in that unit by moving the model a distance in inches that is equal to or less than the charge roll. The first model you move in a unit attempting a charge must finish the move within 1/2" of an enemy unit. If this is impossible, no models in the unit can make a charge move.| You do not have to pick a target for a charge attempt before making the charge roll. | ||
The GRIMWRATH BERZERKER keyword is used in the following Fyreslayers warscrolls:
None
Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, the attack scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified hit roll of 6 always hits. A hit roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Sometimes an ability will allow a single hit roll to score two or more hits. If this is the case, make all of the wound and save rolls for those hits at the same time.
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, the attack wounds the target and your opponent must make a save roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified wound roll of 6 always wounds. A wound roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).
8.3 Run
When you pick a unit to run, you must make a run roll for the unit by rolling a dice. Add the run roll to the Move characteristic of all models in the unit until the end of that phase. You can then move each model in that unit a distance in inches equal to or less than their modified Move characteristic. No part of a run can be within 3" of an enemy unit. You cannot shoot or attempt a charge later in the turn with a unit that has run. Units cannot run if they are within 3" of an enemy unit.
14.3 Wards
Some abilities allow you to roll a dice to negate a wound or mortal wound. Abilities of this type are referred to as wards, and the dice roll is referred to as a ward roll. Unless stated otherwise, the ward roll is made before the wound is allocated to the model in question. Up to 1 ward roll can be made for each wound or mortal wound. If the ward roll is successful, the wound or mortal wound is negated and has no effect on the model.
14.5 Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities cause mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for mortal wounds. Instead, the damage inflicted on the target is equal to the number of mortal wounds that were caused.Mortal wounds caused while a unit is attacking are allocated at the same time as wounds caused by the unit’s attacks: after all of the unit’s attacks have been made. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated as soon as they are caused. Mortal wounds are allocated in the same way as wounds and are treated in the same manner as wounds for rules purposes.

In order to attempt to cast a spell, pick a friendly WIZARD, say which of the spells that they know will be attempted, and then make a casting roll by rolling 2D6. If the casting roll is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.
20.1 Chanting Prayers
In your hero phase, you can chant prayers with friendly PRIESTS. You cannot chant the same prayer more than once in the same hero phase, even with a different PRIEST. In order to chant a prayer, pick a friendly PRIEST, say which of the prayers that they know will be chanted, and then make a chanting roll by rolling a dice.

15.1 Battleshock Tests
You must make a battleshock roll for each friendly unit that has to take a battleshock test. To make a battleshock roll, roll a dice and add the number of models in the unit that were slain in that turn to the roll. If the battleshock roll is greater than the unit’s Bravery characteristic, the battleshock test has been failed. If the test is failed, for each point by which the battleshock roll exceeds the unit’s Bravery characteristic, 1 model in that unit must flee. You decide which models flee. A model that flees is removed from play.| If a slain model is returned to its unit in the same turn that it is slain, it still counts as having been slain in that battle round for the purposes of battleshock tests. | ||

27.3.3 Artefacts of Power
Each time you take an artefact of power enhancement, you can pick 1 artefact of power and give it to a HERO in your army. A HERO cannot have more than 1 artefact of power. An army cannot include duplicates of the same artefact of power.| Most rules for artefacts of power refer to the bearer. The bearer is the model to which an artefact of power has been given (see section 27.5.2 for some examples). | ||

1.5.3 Rolling Off
Sometimes a rule may require the players to roll off. To roll off, each player rolls a dice, and whoever rolls highest wins. If a roll-off is tied, roll off again. You cannot re-roll or modify the dice when you roll off.
3.1 Reserve Units and Summoned Units
Sometimes a rule will allow you to set up a unit in a location other than the battlefield as a reserve unit. A unit that is added to your army once the battle is underway is called a summoned unit.When you set up a reserve unit, either during deployment or once the battle is underway, you must tell your opponent that the unit is in reserve and keep it to one side instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the start of the fourth battle round, units that are still in reserve are destroyed. Units cannot cast spells or use abilities while they are in reserve unless the spell or ability specifically says it can be used by reserve units.
| Reserve units are picked as part of your army before the battle begins, while summoned units are units added to your army once the battle is underway. Models that have been removed from play can be used as part of a summoned unit. | ||
