Unseen Killers: Those who make war in the lands around the Helleflux quickly learn to strike from the shadows with deadly effect.

You can use this command ability when you pick a friendly unit to shoot or fight and that unit is wholly within 12" of a friendly HERO and wholly within 3" of a terrain feature. If you do so, add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that unit until the end of the phase.

The Fetch’s Ring: This ensorcelled band of dark metal projects a shadowy mirror image of the bearer, drawing the enemy’s attention.

Roll a dice each time you allocate a wound or mortal wound to the bearer. On a 4+, that wound or mortal wound is negated. If this artefact of power negates a wound or mortal wound, you cannot use it to attempt to negate any more wounds or mortal wounds for the rest of the phase.

Scalehide: The caster transforms the subject’s flesh into the tough, scaly hide of a drake.

Scalehide has a casting value of 7. If successfully cast, pick 1 friendly HERO that does not have a mount, is within 12" of the caster and is visible to them. Add 1 to save rolls for attacks that target that HERO until your next hero phase.

Sweltering Mists: Thick, billowing mists roll across the Charrwind Coast, providing the perfect cover for advancing killers.

At the start of the enemy shooting phase, you can pick up to D3 friendly units to be covered by mist. Subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target those units until the end of the phase.

Self-sacrifice: Warriors who fight in Varanthax’s Maw soon learn that they may have to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to ensure victory for their army.

You can use this command ability at the start of the combat phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly unit wholly within 12" of a friendly HERO. Until the end of the phase, add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that unit, and subtract 1 from save rolls for attacks that target that unit.

The Devourer: Fashioned from pure varanite, this immense two-headed axe inflicts wounds that turn into gnashing mouths in the victim’s flesh and devour them from within.

Pick 1 of the bearer’s melee weapons. If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made with that weapon that targets a HERO is 6, that attack inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage.

Morathi’s army and the arcane warriors of the Dolorites pressed on until they at last entered the lowest depths of Varanthax’s Maw, where three bloated borewyrms slurped up huge volumes of varanite. Morathi drove forward, destroying the Chaos Warriors that guarded the borewyrms and collecting the molten realmstone in her Cauldrons of Blood. All that then remained was to escape, while ensuring that none of her Stormcast Eternal allies survived to reveal what she had done…

While Morathi fought in the depths of Varanthax’s Maw, on the surface a Stormcast Eternals army fought a desperate battle against a much larger Chaos force.

Nowhere was the battle fiercer than at Hagganal Bay. Namarti emerged from the crashing waves, skipping nimbly across slick stone. Watchtowers spat streaming arcs of shadowflame into their midst, wreathing scores in flesh-melting black fire. Reaper-bolts scythed through the mass of pale bodies, and Khinerai descended from the inky clouds in killing flocks…

The Bloodsurf Hunt of King Nemmetar led the charge through the shadowed halls of the First Temple, his Allopexes tearing a swathe through the Khainite temple guards. With every bite the blade-finned predators became more frenzied, but their bloodscent remained impeccable – they led Nemmetar and the High King straight to the great doors of Khruthú. A blow from the Astra Solus splintered shadow-forged metal, and the High King’s retinue burst into the inner chamber – the very seat of Morathi’s power…

As the battle raged on through the streets of Anvilgard, Ven Brecht led a small, potent battleforce into the undertunnels with the aim of recapturing the Freeguild cogfort Old Firesnout. Ven Brecht had hoped to avoid confrontation with the enemy, but that proved a vain wish. Beastmasters of the Order Serpentis in thrall to Kraeth had driven their most fearsome monsters underground.

The first Legion of Blood unit to be set up can be set up anywhere wholly within their territory. All the remaining Legion of Blood units must be set up wholly within their territory and within 1" of the edge of the battlefield.

After armies are set up, but before the first battle round begins, roll a D6. The Legion of Blood territory with the same number as the roll is the location of the Harkraken Lairs.

At the start of the first battle round, before determining who has the first turn, roll a dice for each SKYVESSEL and MONSTER that is at least partially in the location of the Harkraken Lairs. On a 1-3, nothing happens. On a 4-5, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. On a 6, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds.

Kharadron Overlords units that are unable to fly can only be set up as garrisons of SKYVESSELS wholly within their territory. These units cannot leave the SKYVESSEL they are garrisoning; if forced to do so for any reason, they are slain. In addition, SKYVESSELS cannot use their Fly High ability in this battle.

At the start of the battleshock phase, roll a dice for each successful save roll made in that turn for an attack that targeted a Kharadron Overlords garrison unit. On a 1, 1 model in that unit is slain. Models slain in this manner count towards the unit’s battleshock test.

If a SKYVESSEL is within 6" of the exit point at the start of the Kharadron Overlords player’s turn, that model must escape: remove it from play.

The battle lasts until there are no Kharadron Overlords models left on the battlefield.

The Kharadron Overlords player wins a major victory at the end of the battle if 3 SKYVESSELS escaped. The Kharadron Overlords player wins a minor victory at the end of the battle if 2 SKYVESSELS escaped.

The Legion of Blood player wins a minor victory at the end of the battle if only 1 SKYVESSEL escaped. The Legion of Blood player wins a major victory at the end of the battle if no SKYVESSELS escaped.

At first, the assault upon Ymetrica by the Null Myriad under Arkhan proved unstoppable. The Lumineth learned quickly, however, and through great sacrifice were able to slow and then halt the Myriad’s advance. Then Sevireth, Lord of the Seventh Wind, came searing through the mountain vales at the head of a leaping, shouting spearhead of Hurakan warriors, and the Realm-lords’ methodical campaign to cut off their foe’s supply of bone turned into a joyous, headlong assault.

One player is the Null Myriad player. Their opponent is the Lumineth Realm-lords player.

The Lumineth Realm-lords player must use an Ymetrica Lumineth Realm-lords army. It must consist of the following units:
• Sevireth, Lord of the Seventh Wind
• 16 YMETRICA units

The Null Myriad player must use a Null Myriad Ossiarch Bonereapers army. It must consist of the following units:
• Arkhan the Black
• 2 Gothizzar Harvesters
• 12 NULL MYRIAD units

The units in each army must conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Linebreaker Unit: A unit of 1 model with a Wounds characteristic of more than 5 that is not a HERO or MONSTER.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

This battle uses the rules for Ymetrica, Hysh.

The Lumineth Realm-lords player sets up their army first. All HURAKAN units are set up in reserve. All other units must be set up wholly within Lumineth Realm-lords territory more than 9" from enemy territory. The Null Myriad player sets up their army second, wholly within their territory and more than 9" from enemy territory.

The Null Myriad player takes the first turn in the first battle round.

The Null Myriad player cannot heal wounds allocated to a friendly unit while it is within 30" of a STARSHARD BALLISTAS unit, within 18" of an enemy WIZARD, or within 6" of Sevireth, Lord of the Seventh Wind.

At the end of the Lumineth Realm-lords player’s third movement phase, they must set up their HURAKAN units wholly within 12" of the edge the battlefield and more than 6" from any enemy units; the Mountainous Landscape realmscape feature is ignored.

The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds.

At the end of the battle, each player adds up the number of enemy units that were destroyed during the battle, excluding any units that were added to the armies after the battle started. Double-sized units count as 2 units instead of 1.

If one player’s total that is at least double their opponent’s total, they win a major victory. If one player’s total is higher but less than double their opponent’s total, they win a minor victory. If neither player has the higher total, the battle is a draw.

Teclis and Nagash are locked in an epic duel fought on both the physical and spiritual planes. As each tries to wrest the advantage, immense armies are engaged in an equally titanic battle all around them. From moment to moment, one side and then the other is in the ascendant, desperately seeking the key to victory; the fate of Ymetrica will be decided by whichever is able to do so first.

One player is the Teclis player. Their opponent is the Nagash player.

The Teclis player must use an Ymetrica Lumineth Realm-lords army that has Teclis as its general. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalion:
• Archmage Teclis and Celennar, Spirit of Hysh
• 20 YMETRICA units
• 1 allied Xintil War-magi
• 2 allied COLLEGIATE ARCANE units

The Nagash player must use a Mortis Praetorians Ossiarch Bonereapers army that has Nagash as its general. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalion:
• Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead
• 20 MORTIS PRAETORIANS units
• 1 allied Mortevell’s Helcourt
• 2 allied CRYPT GHOULS units

This battle uses the rules for Ymetrica, Hysh.

First, set up Teclis and Nagash so they are within 3" of each other and the centre of the battlefield. No other units can be set up within 3" of Teclis or Nagash.

Then the Nagash player sets up their army. All FLESH-EATER COURTS units are set up in reserve. All OSSIARCH BONEREAPERS units must be set up wholly within Ossiarch Bonereapers territory and more than 9" from enemy territory.

Then the Teclis player sets up their army. All COLLEGIATE ARCANE units are set up in reserve. All VANARI and SCINARI units must be set up wholly within Vanari/Scinari territory, all ALARITH units must be set up wholly within Alarith territory, and all HURAKAN units must be set up wholly within Hurakan territory.

At the end of any of the Nagash player’s movement phases, they can set up any of their FLESH-EATER COURTS units wholly within 6" of the battlefield edge in Alarith territory and more than 3" from any enemy units.

Starting from the third battle round, at the end of any of the Teclis player’s movement phases, they can set up any of their COLLEGIATE ARCANE units wholly within 6" of the edge the battlefield in Xintil War-magi territory and more than 3" from any enemy units.

No units can move within 3" of Teclis or Nagash during this battle (even when making a charge or pile-in move). Teclis and Nagash cannot move, attack, cast spells or use abilities or command abilities, and they cannot be picked to be the target of attacks, spells, abilities or command abilities. Any wounds inflicted upon them are negated and they cannot be slain.

The battle lasts until either Nagash or Teclis are cast down (see below).

At the end of each battle round, each player rolls a dice. Each player adds 1 to their roll if more enemy units than friendly units were destroyed during that battle round.

Each player adds 1 to their roll if there are more friendly WIZARDS than enemy WIZARDS on the battlefield.

The Teclis player adds 1 to their roll if there are more friendly models than enemy models within 12" of Teclis.

The Nagash player adds 1 to their roll if there are more friendly models than enemy models within 12" of Nagash.

If one player’s roll is higher, the enemy general is weakened. If the general is already weakened, they are stunned. If the general has already been stunned, they are cast down. The player that casts down the enemy general wins a major victory.

ORDER HERO only.

Command the Land: In the Realm of Life, even the landscape can be bent to your will.

You can use this command ability at the end of your hero phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly HERO. That HERO can attempt to cast the Shield of Thorns spell (see above), even if they are not a WIZARD, and even if a casting attempt for the spell has already been made in the same phase. If the HERO you picked is a WIZARD, then they can attempt to cast Shield of Thorns in addition to any other spells they have already attempted to cast, and even if a casting attempt for the spell has already been made by themselves or another WIZARD in the same phase.

ORDER HERO only.

Seed of Rebirth: Should its bearer ever fall, the Seed’s rejuvenating energies will pour into its host to grant them new life.

The first time the bearer is slain, before removing them from the battlefield, roll a dice. On a 1, the bearer is slain. On a 2+, the bearer is not slain, you can heal up to D3 wounds allocated to them, and any wounds that remain to be allocated to them are negated.

DEATH HERO only.

Soul-force Sacrifice: Your general can siphon soulforce from their minions to extend their life.

You can use this command ability at the start of your hero phase. If you do so, pick 1 friendly unit other than your general that is within 3" of your general. Allocate any number of wounds to that unit that you wish – you can heal 1 wound that has been allocated to your general for each wound that you allocate.

DEATH HERO only.

Banshee Blade: This screaming blade can kill its victim even before they feel its keen edge.

Pick one of the bearer’s melee weapons. If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made with that weapon is 6, roll 2D6. If the roll is equal to or greater than the target’s Bravery characteristic, that attack inflicts D3 mortal wounds on the target in addition to its normal damage.

CELESTIAL VINDICATORS or CITIES OF SIGMAR WIZARD only.

Final Transmutation: With a wave of their arm, the wizard transforms foes into immobile golden statues.

Final Transmutation has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick 1 enemy unit within 18" of the caster that is visible to them and roll D3 dice. For each roll that is greater than that unit’s Wounds characteristic, 1 model from that unit is slain.

Ironclad Buildings: Many structures in Prosperis – particularly the ruins of old Prosperia – have become encased in thick crusts of metal, the result of chemical downpours and floods.

Worsen the Rend characteristic of attacks that target units in cover by 1 (to a minimum of ‘-’).

The Stormcast survivors of the illfated assault upon the Eightpoints were forced to flee to the safety of the Genesis Gate. As long as this Arcway was in the hands of the Hallowed Knights, disaster could be prevented from becoming catastrophe. The defence fell to two chambers of the Hallowed Knights, commanded by the famous Lord-Celestant Gardus Steel Soul. The gate was heavily fortified, but the enemy force arrayed against the Stormcasts was formidable indeed.

Use the Siege Warfare rules.

Designer’s Note: The defender must use Citadel Woods for their stronghold if they are available.

This battle uses the rules for The Genesis Gate, Ghyran.

One player is the attacker. Their opponent is the defender.

The attacker must use a Nurgle army. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalion:
• Invidian Plaguehost
• 16 other NURGLE units

The defender must use a Hallowed Knights army. It must consist of the following units:
• Lord-Celestant Gardus Steel Soul
• 1 Lord-Castellant (Lorrus Grymn)
• 8 other STORMCAST ETERNAL units
• Up to 12 SERAPHON allied units (see ‘The Seraphon’, below).


Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

First, the defender sets up their fortress. Next, three different terrain features in the defender’s territory are picked to be the attacker’s siege targets: the attacker picks the first terrain feature, the defender picks the second, and the attacker picks the third. The armies can now be set up.

The defender must set up their army first. All of the SERAPHON units must be set up in reserve and will arrive during the battle. The rest of their units can be set up anywhere wholly within their territory.

The attacker sets up their army second. Their units must be set up wholly within their territory, more than 6" from the defender’s territory.

The defender rolls 2D6 at the start of each of their turns to see if the Seraphon arrive. Add the battle round number to the score. On a roll of 11 or more, the Seraphon arrive. The defender rolls another dice. On a 1-3 the Seraphon arrive from the narrow table edge to the right of the defender’s territory. On a 4-6, they arrive from the table edge to the left of the defender’s territory (see map).

At the start of their next movement phase, the defender must set up all of their SERAPHON units wholly within 9" of the table edge they arrived from and more than 3" from any enemy units. This counts as their move for that movement phase.

At the start of the defender’s next turn, all SERAPHON units that are on the battlefield are removed from the battlefield – they have moved through the Genesis Gate.

A siege target is controlled by the last player to have any models in or on the terrain feature. If both players have models in or on the terrain feature, it is controlled by the defender.

The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds.

The attacker wins a major victory if they control all three siege targets. The defender wins a major victory if the attacker controls fewer than two siege targets. If the attacker controls two siege targets, use the tiebreaker below.

Each player adds up the number of enemy units that were destroyed during the battle, excluding units that were added to the armies after the battle started. Double-sized units count as 2 units instead of 1. Do not include SERAPHON units that moved through the Genesis Gate. If one player has the higher total, they win a minor victory. If neither player has the higher total, the battle is a draw.

Following his defeat at the hands of the Serephon, the Eater of Tomes’ Silver Tower crashed back to earth in Chamon. Although terribly damaged, the Gaunt Summoner knew he could still restore it, given enough time. Yet even as he began to work his sorcery upon the wreckage of his stronghold, he heard a terribly familiar sound: a distant, primal roar, and the thunder of stampeding beasts.

One player is the Tzeentch player. Their opponent is the Seraphon player.

The Tzeentch player must use an Eternal Conflagration army. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalion:
• 1 Gaunt Summoner on Disc of Tzeentch (the Eater of Tomes)
• Atra’zan’s Blazing Cavalcade
• 14 other TZEENTCH DAEMON units

The Seraphon player must use a Thunder Lizard army. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalion:
• The Celestial Stampede
• 12 other SERAPHON units

The ‘other’ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

Stampede Unit (Seraphon player only): An Engine of the Gods, Stegadon, Stegadon with Skink Chief, or Bastiladon. Engines of the Gods count as 3 choices instead of 1; the rest count as 2 choices instead of 1.

The Tzeentch player must set up the Eater of Tomes within 3" of the centre of the narrow battlefield edge that adjoins their territory (see map).

The players then alternate setting up units one at a time, starting with the Seraphon player. Players must set up units wholly within their territory and more than 20" from enemy territory.

Continue to set up units until both players have set up their armies. If one player finishes first, their opponent must set up the rest of the units in their army, one after another.

All HORRORS units count as being part of the Atra’zan’s Blazing Cavalcade warscroll battalion, and Stampede units are treated as being part of the Celestial Stampede warscroll battalion, in addition to the other units already in those battalions.

The Eater of Tomes is not allowed to move, cast spells, use command abilities or attack. However, any wounds inflicted on the Eater of Tomes are negated unless they are inflicted by the Lance of Cosmic Power ability (see the Celestial Stampede).

The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds or until The Eater of Tomes is slain.

If the Eater of Tomes is slain, the Seraphon player wins a major victory. If the Eater of Tomes has not suffered any wounds at the end of the battle, the Tzeentch player wins a major victory. In any other circumstances, use the tiebreaker below.

Each player counts up the number of enemy units that have been destroyed. Each reinforced unit and each MONSTER counts as two units. The Seraphon player adds to their total the number of wounds currently allocated to the Eater of Tomes. The player with the higher total wins a minor victory. If neither player has the higher total, the battle is a draw.

At the heart of Sylontum lay the Sanctum of Anguish. Here, in this profane chamber, the Lady Olynder’s skeletal remains were stored within a sarcophagus protected by the most terrible curses that the Mortarch of Grief could devise. Yet even these vile wardings could not keep the Dark Master at bay.

This battle uses the rules for Dolorum, Shyish.

One player is the Be’lakor player. Their opponent is the Lady Olynder player.

The Be’lakor player must use a Legion of the First Prince army. It must consist of the following units:
• Be’lakor, the Dark Master
• 12 other DAEMON units*

*Must include at least 1 KHORNE DAEMON, 1 TZEENTCH DAEMON, 1 NURGLE and 1 SLAANESH unit.

The Lady Olynder player must use an Emerald Host army. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalions:
• The Sorrowmourn Choir
• 12 other NIGHTHAUNT units

The ‘other’ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

The Be’lakor player sets up their army first, wholly within their territory. The Lady Olynder player sets up all of their ‘other NIGHTHAUNT units’ second, wholly within their territory and more than 6" from enemy territory. The Sorrowmourn Choir is set up in reserve and will enter as described below.

The Lady Olynder player takes the first turn in the first battle round.

Units cannot move on sanctum territory until the gate has been breached (see map).

At the start of their second and subsequent hero phases, if BE’LAKOR is within 3" of the gate objective marker, the Be’lakor player can attempt to breach the gate. If they do so, they must roll 2D6. Add 3 to the roll if Be’lakor is within 3" of the gate objective marker, and add 1 to the roll for each TZEENTCH, NURGLE and SLAANESH WIZARD within 3" of the gate objective marker. If the roll is 9 or more, the gate is breached.

Once the gate is breached, units are free to move into sanctum territory.

At the end of their first movement phase, the Lady Olynder player must set up the Sorrowmourn Choir wholly within their territory and more than 9" from enemy territory.

The battle lasts either for 5 battle rounds, until BE’LAKOR is within 1" of the sarcophagus objective marker, or until either BE’LAKOR or LADY OLYNDER has been slain.

If BE’LAKOR is slain, the Lady Olynder player wins a major victory. If BE’LAKOR is within 1" of the sarcophagus, the Be’lakor player wins a major victory. If LADY OLYNDER is slain, the Be’lakor player wins a minor victory. In any other circumstances, the Lady Olynder player wins a minor victory.

Of those unstable realmgates that Be’lakor had ordered to be assaulted, only one remained intact: the Gate of White Gold, located amidst the ruined city of Prosperia. Be’lakor would suffer no more delays. The Gate of White Gold would fall, even if he must negotiate with the most unsavoury allies in order to see it done.

Use the Coalition of Death rules. This battleplan is designed to be played by 4 players in 2 coalitions.

This battle uses the rules for Prosperis, Chamon.

• Freeguild General (Cerdimun Ghorle)
• 4 FLAGELLANTS units
• 8 other CITIES OF SIGMAR units

The ‘other’ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

The Daemons player sets up their army first, wholly within their territory and more than 12" from enemy territory. The Sigmarite Brotherhood player sets up their army second, wholly within their coalition’s territory and more than 24" from the Daemons player’s territory. The Cities of Sigmar player sets up their army third, wholly within their coalition’s territory and more than 12" from Daemons territory. The Reikenor player sets up their army last, wholly within their own territory and more than 9" from enemy territory.

The attackers take the first turn in the first battle round.

Subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of all of the defenders’ units, and add 1 to the Bravery characteristic of all of the attackers’ units.

The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds.

The attackers win a major victory if all of the defenders’ units that were set up on the battlefield before the start of the first battle round have been destroyed. The defenders win a major victory if less than half of their units that were set up on the battlefield before the start of the first battle round have been destroyed. In any other circumstances, use the tiebreaker below.

Each coalition adds up the number of enemy units that were destroyed during the battle, excluding units that were added to the armies after the battle started. Double-sized units count as 2 units instead of 1.

If one coalition has the higher total, they win a minor victory. If neither coalition has the higher total, the battle is a draw.

Lord-Castellant Lorrus Grymn of the Hallowed Knights had taken charge of the defence of Armsgate Zul, shoring up the breached wallfort with retinues Liberators. Be’lakor was confident that the Stormcast Eternals posed little threat to his vast Legion, but still he did not care to take any chances. He called forth Atra’zan the Immolator, for he had a task in mind for the flame-obsessed Herald…

Use the Siege Warfare rules.

This battle uses the rules for Prosperis, Chamon.

One player is the attacker. Their opponent is the defender.

The attacker must use an Eternal Conflagration army. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalion:
• Atra’zan’s Blazing Cavalcade
• 12 other TZEENTCH DAEMON units

The defender must use a Hallowed Knights army. It must consist of the following units:
• 1 Lord-Castellant (Lorrus Grymn)
• 12 other STORMCAST ETERNAL units
• 4 CITIES OF SIGMAR allied units

The allied units and ‘other’ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

First, the defender sets up their fortress. Then, they set up their army. Their army is split into two contingents: the garrison and the reinforcements. There must be at least one reinforcements unit for each garrison unit. The army’s general must be in the garrison, and all CITIES OF SIGMAR units must be in the reinforcements.

Before the battle, the defender can only set up their garrison units. All of their reinforcements units must be set up in reserve and will arrive during the battle as described below. The defender must set up their units wholly within their territory.

The attacker sets up their army second. They must set up their units wholly within their territory and more than 6" from the defender’s territory.

From the second battle round, at the start of each of their movement phases, the defender must roll a dice for each of their reinforcements units. On a 5+, that unit arrives on the battlefield.

When a unit arrives, all of its models must be set up within 6" of the table edge that is wholly within the Duardin Armouries area, as shown on the map, and more than 9" from any enemy units. This counts as their move for that movement phase. Set up the unit before rolling to see if the next reinforcements unit arrives.

At the end of each of their turns, the attacker must roll 2D6. If the roll is less than or equal to the number of models from Atra’zan’s Blazing Cavalcade that are within 6" of the Munitions Store objective marker, then it explodes and the game ends. Atra’zan the Immolator counts as 7 models.

The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds or until the Munitions Store explodes.

The attacker wins a major victory if the Munitions Store explodes. The defender wins a major victory if the Munitions Store does not explode and all of the units in Atra’zan’s Blazing Cavalcade have been destroyed. In any other circumstances, use the tiebreaker below.

Each player adds up the number of enemy units that were destroyed during the battle, excluding units that were added to the armies after the battle started. Double-sized units count as 2 units instead of 1. If one player has the higher total, they win a minor victory. If neither player has the higher total, the battle is a draw.

With cannons firing and endrins blazing, the Kharadron Overlords arrived to lift the Siege of Vindicarum. After a long and intense debate, the historic Second Conference of Madralta had ended in consensus: the sky-ports would rescue the God-King’s armies from their grim predicament, and, ancestors willing, earn themselves a tidy sum in the process.

Use the Coalition of Death rules. This battleplan is designed to be played by 4 players in 2 coalitions.

This battle uses the rules for Prosperis, Chamon.

One coalition are the Forces of Chaos. The other coalition are the Forces of Order. One player in the Forces of Chaos is the Be’lakor player and the other is the Tzeentch player. One player in the Forces of Order is the Stormcast Eternals player and the other is the Kharadron Overlords player.

The Be’lakor player must use a Legion of the First Prince army. It must consist of the following units:

• 16 other KHARADRON OVERLORDS units

Designer’s Note: The Barak-Zilfin army represents just one part of the huge Kharadron armada sent to relieve Vindicarum.

The ‘other’ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

Armada Unit (Kharadron Overlords player only): An Arkanaut Ironclad, Arkanaut Frigate or Grundstok Gunhauler. Each Arkanaut Ironclad counts as 5 choices instead of 1, and each Arkanaut Frigate counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

The teams’ warlords roll off. Starting with the winning team, the teams alternate picking a territory and setting up one of their armies wholly within that territory and more than 9" from any enemy units. Each army must be set up in a different territory.

Players can set up any of their units in reserve instead of setting them up on the battlefield. Each reserve unit can be set up on the battlefield at the end of its coalition’s second, third or fourth movement phase. Reserve units must be set up wholly within the territory that was picked for their army, wholly within 9" of the battlefield edge and more than 9" from any enemy units. At the end of the fourth battle round, units still in reserve are destroyed.

At the start of each combat phase, the Kharadron Overlords player can roll a dice if Be’lakor is within 6" of any SKYFARER models that are not HEROES. If they do so, on a 6, Be’lakor is removed from play but is not slain. On a 1-5, the closest SKYFARER model to Be’lakor that is not a HERO is slain (if several are equally close, randomly determine which is slain).

The battle lasts for 5 battle rounds.

If Be’lakor is on the battlefield at the end of the battle and the Forces of Chaos have scored more victory points (see below), the Forces of Chaos win a major victory. If Be’lakor is not on the battlefield at the end of the battle and the Forces of Order have scored more victory points, the Forces of Order win a major victory. In any other circumstances, the coalition that scored the most victory points wins a minor victory. If neither coalition scored more victory points, the battle is a draw.

Each coalition scores victory points as follows:

- 1 victory point is scored each time an enemy model that has a Wounds characteristic of 10 or more is slain.

- 1 victory point is scored each time a reinforced enemy unit is destroyed.

- 1 victory point is scored at the end of a coalition’s turn for each objective in friendly territory that they control.

- D3 victory points are scored at the end of a coalition’s turn for each objective in enemy territory that they control.

Wildform: The wizard transforms their allies into swift-moving bestial forms.

Wildform has a casting value of 5. If successfully cast, pick 1 friendly unit within 12" of the caster that is visible to them. Add 2 to run and charge rolls for that unit until your next hero phase.

The Desolate Wilds: From the hinterland mists come all manner of greenskin tribes, each hungering for war.

Add 1" to the Move characteristic and 1 to the Bravery characteristic of all DESTRUCTION units. In addition, if you have an Orruk Warclans Big Waaagh! army, you receive an extra D6 Waaagh! points at the start of your first hero phase.

The Clawing Sea: The Coast of Tusks is bedevilled by oceanic monsters that are drawn to the land in search of easy prey. Even the aelves cannot truly tame these fearsome creatures.

At the end of each battle round, the players roll off. The winner can set up a Wild Kharibdyss. Use the Kharibdyss warscroll for the Wild Kharibdyss, but do not include the Handlers on the warscroll and do not use the Quick With The Lash ability. Wild Kharibdysses are not part of either army. A Wild Kharibdyss must be set up within 7" of the battlefield edge and more than 9" from all models from either army.

Wild Kharibdysses choose their prey at the start of each battle round. Their prey for that battle round will be the army that has a unit closest to them. For the rest of that battle round, the Wild Kharibdyss joins the opposing army. If both armies have a unit equally close to a Wild Kharibdyss, roll off to determine who chooses the Wild Kharibdyss’s prey. Wild Kharibdysses will not choose each other as their prey.

Note that the prey can change each battle round, as Wild Kharibdysses will ‘swap sides’ depending on which army has a unit closest to them. Also note that a Wild Kharibdyss can attack any unit in their prey’s army, not just the closest unit, and it cannot itself be attacked or charged by units from the army it has joined.

Glimmering: Flinders of the Spear of Mallus are traded as ‘glimmerings’, each yielding visions of events yet to come.

Once per turn, before you make a hit or wound roll for an attack made by the bearer, a save roll for an attack that targets the bearer, or a run or charge roll for the bearer, you can say that you will foretell the result of the roll. If you do so, you must choose the result of the roll. The result chosen for a D6 roll must be a whole number from 1 to 6, and the result chosen for a 2D6 roll must be a whole number from 2 to 12. The result cannot be re-rolled, but any modifiers are applied to it as normal.

The defeat of Nagash in distant Hysh had sent ripples of causality across the realms. In Ghyran, the Everqueen Alarielle was poised to capitalise on this with a grand resurgence, triggering a cascade of consequences both glorious and dire. Opposing her in the stinking, knee-deep swampland were mould-skinned beastmen, their untidy manes matted into slabs that bounced on their shoulders as they ran. Carried by four hulking Ghorgons was the Dirgehorn – that Nurgle-fouled Ghyranite artefact torn from the skull of a godbeast to sound the death of nations, held together with sutures of cankerous flesh to give full voice to its mind-shredding bellow.

One player is the Sylvaneth player. Their opponent is the Beastmen player.

The Sylvaneth player must use a Sylvaneth army. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalions:
• Alarielle the Everqueen
• Drycha’s Spitegrove
• Lords of the Clan with 1 Treelord and 2 Treelord Ancients
• 1 Warsong Revenant
• 6 other SYLVANETH units

The Beastmen player must use a Beasts of Chaos army that has Ghorraghan Khai as its general. It must consist of the following units, warscroll battalion and endless spell:
• The Butcher-herd
• 12 other BEASTS OF CHAOS units
• 1 Doomblast Dirgehorn

The ‘other’ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

The Warsong Revenant starts the battle in reserve and will arrive as described below.

The Beastmen player must set up The Butcher-herd and the Doomblast Dirgehorn wholly within their territory and wholly within 12" of the middle of the battlefield, with the Doomblast Dirgehorn set up as described below.

The players then alternate setting up units one at a time, starting with the Sylvaneth player. Players must set up units wholly within their territory and more than 9" from enemy territory.

Continue to set up units until both players have set up their armies. If one player finishes first, their opponent must set up the rest of the units in their army, one after another.

The Doomblast Dirgehorn endless spell starts the battle already cast and on the battlefield. It must be set up within 3" of the Ghorgon from The Butcher-herd warscroll battalion. It cannot be dispelled except as described below.

The Ghorgon and the Doomblast Dirgehorn are treated as a single model that uses the Ghorgon’s warscroll and has the abilities from the Doomblast Dirgehorn’s warscroll. The Doomblast Dirgehorn must remain within 1" of the Ghorgon. If the Ghorgon is slain, the Doomblast Dirgehorn is dispelled. In addition, the Doomblast Dirgehorn is dispelled if it ends a move more than 12" from the middle of the battlefield.

The Warsong Revenant is set up after the Doomblast Dirgehorn is dispelled, within 12" of Alarielle the Everqueen.

The battle lasts either for 5 battle rounds or until Alarielle the Everqueen is slain.

If Alarielle the Everqueen has been slain, the Beastmen player wins a major victory. If Alarielle the Everqueen has not been slain, each player adds up the number of enemy units that were destroyed during the battle, excluding any units that were added to the armies after the battle started. Double-sized units count as 2 units instead of 1, and MONSTERS count as 3 units instead of 1.

If the Sylvaneth player has the higher total, they win a major victory if the Doomblast Dirgehorn was dispelled and a minor victory if it was not dispelled. If the Beastmen player has the higher total, they win a minor victory if the Doomblast Dirgehorn was not dispelled, and the battle is a draw if it was dispelled.

Excelsis echoed to a thousand screams as the sun set. The assault came not from within, where the strife in the streets had grown to violence, nor from without, where the walls were heavily defended in anticipation of a greenskin attack. Instead, when the eyes of the city’s defenders were elsewhere, it came from below. Across the dockyards, mushroom clouds of green smoke blossomed in the wake of earringing explosions, and entire swathes of the street toppled into the sewers to expose the horribly glowing portals below. Gnawholes, the clustered portals were called, splits in the fabric of the realms themselves from which the skaven launched their invasions.

Use the Streets of Death rules.

One player is the Skaven player. Their opponent is the Knights Excelsior player.

The Skaven player is the attacker and must use a Skaventide army that has Rattachak as its general. It must consist of the following units, warscroll battalion and terrain features:
• Rattachak’s Doom-coven
• 9 other SKAVEN units
• 3 Gnawhole terrain features

The Knights Excelsior player is the defender and must use a Stormcast Eternals Knights Excelsior army that has the White Reaper as its general. It must consist of the following units:
• 1 Lord-Veritant (the White Reaper)
• Doralia ven Denst (Cities of Sigmar allied unit)
• Galen ven Denst (Cities of Sigmar allied unit)
• 10 other STORMCAST ETERNALS units

The ‘other’ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

Set up the 3 Gnawholes as shown on the map.

This battle is fought on the docks of Excelsis, and appropriate terrain features should be used to represent this.

The players alternate setting up units one at a time, starting with the Skaven player. Players must set up units wholly within their territory. Continue to set up units until both players have set up their armies. If one player finishes first, their opponent must set up the rest of the units in their army, one after another.

The Knights Excelsior player can treat each Gnawhole as an enemy unit when picking the target of an attack or when picking a unit to suffer mortal wounds. The Gnawhole must be in range of the attack or the ability or spell inflicting mortal wounds. Gnawholes are not treated as units for any other purposes.

Each Gnawhole has a Wounds characteristic of 6 and a Save characteristic of 3+. Once 6 wounds have been allocated to a Gnawhole, it is destroyed and removed from play.

The White Reaper is a named character that is a Lord-Veritant. The following special rules apply to the White Reaper:

• You cannot use the Faithful Gryph-hound ability for the White Reaper.
• Roll a dice each time you allocate a wound or mortal wound to the White Reaper. On a 4+, that wound or mortal wound is negated.
• Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of the White Reaper’s Judgement Blade.
• Add 2 to the roll that determines whether the White Reaper’s Sanction ability inflicts any mortal wounds.

The battle lasts either for 5 battle rounds or until the third Gnawhole is destroyed and removed from play.

Count the number of Gnawholes that were destroyed during the battle and consult the table below to determine the outcome of the battle.

The Gyrocopters and bombers of the sky battalions of Excelsis took flight en masse, their advance covered by low-hanging clouds conjured by the Collegiate wizards’ tower-mounted Hurricanums. Led by a cherryred craft with an impressive array of guns known as the Scarlet Scourge, the sky battalions prepared to attack...

This battle uses the rules for the Coast of Tusks, Ghur.

One player is the Sky Battalions player. Their opponent is the Destruction player.

The Sky Battalions player must use a Cities of Sigmar Excelsis army that has the Scarlet Scourge as its general. It must consist of the following units:
• 1 Gyrobombers unit of 1 model (The Scarlet Scourge)
• 4 Gyrocopters or Gyrobombers units in any combination, each with up to 3 models

The Destruction player must use the following army that has Gordrakk as its general. This army includes ORRUK WARCLANS units, GLOOMSPITE GITZ units and SONS OF BEHEMAT units. It does not belong to a specific faction and does not have any allegiance abilities, and it must consist of the following units:
• Gordrakk, the Fist of Gork
• 1 Dankhold Troggoths unit of 1 model
• 2 Fellwater Troggoths or Rockgut Troggoths units in any combination, each with 3 models
• 1 MEGA-GARGANT
• 1 Mancrusher Gargants unit of up to 3 models

The Destruction player sets up their army first, wholly within their territory. The Sky Battalions player sets up their army second, wholly within their territory.

The Sky Battalions player takes the first turn in the first battle round.

The Scarlet Scourge’s Clattergun has an Attacks characteristic of 8 instead of 4. In addition, when the Sky Battalions player uses the Scarlet Scourge’s Grudgebuster Bombs ability, they can roll 2 dice when the model passes across any models in the enemy unit instead of 1.

After the Sky Battalions player makes a normal move with a friendly unit, they can say that the unit is flying up, up and away. If they do so, until their next movement phase, that unit cannot charge, and when measuring the distance between that unit and another unit in the shooting phase and the combat phase to determine whether either is in range of an attack, add 6".

At the start of the combat phase, the Destruction player can pick 1 friendly model that is within 3" of any enemy units that are flying up, up and away and roll a dice. Add 2 to the roll if the friendly model is a MONSTER. On a 4+, until the end of that phase, when measuring the distance between that model and an enemy unit that is flying up, up and away to determine whether it is in range of an attack, do not add 6".

The battle lasts either for 5 battle rounds or until Gordrakk is slain.

If Gordrakk has been slain, the Sky Battalions player wins a major victory. In all other circumstances, each player adds up the number of enemy units that were destroyed during the battle. Double-sized units count as 2 units instead of 1; MEGA-GARGANTS count as 5 units instead of 1; and any other MONSTERS count as 2 units instead of 1.

If the Destruction player has the higher total and the Scarlet Scourge has been slain, they win a major victory. Otherwise, the player with the higher total wins a minor victory. If both players have the same total, the battle is a draw.

Galen and Doralia ven Denst fought their way towards the canker at Excelsis’s heart. With them came the White Reaper, for he too had seen the dire cavalcade of Slaaneshi daemons from afar and felt a great disquiet that only tackling them in person would diminish. The trio entered the Conclave Hall to see that battle still raged in the palace. Galen and Doralia levelled their weapons, sending nullstone bullet and runeinscribed stake hurtling across the room to strike the daemon giants in their backs, liberating the Grand Matriarch Yarga-Sjuhan and her honour guard from the spells that enthralled them. Almost immediately, violent combat erupted in the gore-drenched hall.

One player is the Slaanesh player. Their opponent is the Excelsis player.

The Slaanesh player must use a Hedonites of Slaanesh army. It must consist of the following units and warscroll battalion:
• Dexcessa, the Talon of Slaanesh
• Synessa, the Voice of Slaanesh
• The Exquisite Pursuit
• 2 Daemonettes units, each with 10 models

The Excelsis player must use a Cities of Sigmar Excelsis army that has Yarga-Sjuhan as its general. It must consist of the following units:
• 1 Battlemage (Yarga-Sjuhan)
• 1 Freeguild Greatswords unit of 10 models (the Honour Guard)
• 1 Lord-Veritant (the White Reaper, Stormcast Eternals allied unit)
• Doralia ven Denst
• Galen ven Denst

This battle is fought at closequarters in the Conclave Hall. Units cannot make any part of a move into or through the areas marked black on the map.

The Excelsis player must set up Yarga-Sjuhan and the Honour Guard first. Yarga-Sjuhan must be set up in the centre of the Grand Matriarch’s territory, and then the Honour Guard must be set up wholly within 6" of her.

The Slaanesh player then sets up their army wholly within their territory and more than 3" from any enemy units.

Finally, the Excelsis player sets up their remaining models wholly within the Rescuers’ territory and more than 3" from any enemy units.

The Excelsis player takes the first turn in the first battle round.

The White Reaper is a named character that is a Lord-Veritant. The following special rules apply to the White Reaper:

• You cannot use the Faithful Gryph-hound ability for the White Reaper.
• Roll a dice each time you allocate a wound or mortal wound to the White Reaper. On a 4+, that wound or mortal wound is negated.
• Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of the White Reaper’s Judgement Blade.
• Add 2 to the roll that determines whether the White Reaper’s Sanction ability inflicts any mortal wounds.

The Honour Guard is Yarga-Sjuhan’s retinue for the purposes of the Honoured Retinue battle trait, and Yarga-Sjuhan gains the Loyal Shields ability (see Battletome: Cities of Sigmar).

Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of weapons used by the Honour Guard in the first battle round, and add 2 to run and charge rolls for the Honour Guard in the first battle round.

Neither player can add extra models to their army or return slain models to a unit during this battle.

The battle lasts until all of the models in one of the armies have been slain.

The player with any models remaining on the battlefield at the end of the battle is the winner. If the winner has at least 2 HEROES on the battlefield at the end of the battle, they win a major victory. Otherwise, they win a minor victory. In the unlikely event that neither side has any models remaining on the battlefield, the battle is a draw.

As a long day of battle raged on into night, it was becoming clear that the intervention of the Stormcast Eternals would not be enough. At the breaches, at the harbour, even from the tunnels below the city, greenskins were breaking through to run pell-mell through the streets. Excelsis’s lifespan could be measured in hours at most. Then, from the mists of the harbour, a hundred tall sails emerged into view. Morathi-Khaine had come, and from the darkest quarter, Excelsis had been given hope anew.

Use the Streets of Death rules.

One player is the Order player. Their opponent is the Destruction player.

The Order player must use the following army. This army includes CITIES OF SIGMAR units, DAUGHTERS OF KHAINE units, SERAPHON units and STORMCAST ETERNALS units. It does not belong to a specific faction and does not have any allegiance abilities, and it must consist of the following units:
• Lord Kroak
• Morathi-Khaine
• The Shadow Queen
• 12 SCOURGE PRIVATEERS units
• 2 MELUSAI units
• 12 STORMCAST ETERNALS units

The Destruction player must use the following army. This army includes ORRUK WARCLANS units, GLOOMSPITE GITZ units and SONS OF BEHEMAT units. It does not belong to a specific faction and does not have any allegiance abilities, and it must consist of the following units:
• Kragnos, the End of Empires
• 1 MEGA-GARGANT
• 1 Mancrusher Gargants unit of up to 3 models
• 12 ORRUK WARCLANS units
• 8 GLOOMSPITE GITZ units

The SCOURGE PRIVATEERS, STORMCAST ETERNALS, ORRUK WARCLANS and GLOOMSPITE GITZ units in each army must each conform to one of the types in the following list. You can double the size of a unit if you wish, but it then counts as 2 choices instead of 1.

Regular Unit: A unit of up to 10 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 1.

Elite Unit: A unit of up to 5 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 2 or 3.

Guard Unit: A unit of up to 3 models, each with a Wounds characteristic of 4 or 5.

Champion: A HERO with a Wounds characteristic of 8 or less.

This battle is fought on the streets of Excelsis, and appropriate terrain features should be used to represent this.

The battlefield is divided into 16 areas as shown on the map. Lord Kroak, Kragnos, Morathi-Khaine and the Shadow Queen are set up first in the centre of the areas marked for them on the map. The players alternate setting up their remaining units one at a time, starting with the Destruction player. STORMCAST ETERNALS units must be set up wholly within Excelsis territory, SCOURGE PRIVATEERS and DAUGHTERS OF KHAINE units wholly within Daughters of Khaine territory, and DESTRUCTION units wholly within Destruction territory. All units must be set up more than 6" from any enemy units.

Continue to set up units until both players have set up their armies. If one player finishes first, their opponent must set up the rest of the units in their army, one after another.

At the end of each battle round, the Order player can attempt to banish Kragnos. In order to do so, all of the following criteria must be met:

• Morathi-Khaine and Lord Kroak are within 3" of each other, and neither model is within 3" of any enemy units.
• Kragnos is within 3" of an enemy unit.

To attempt to banish Kragnos, the Order player must roll a dice. On a 2+, Kragnos is removed from play but does not count as having been slain.

The battle either lasts for 5 battle rounds or until Kragnos is slain.

If Kragnos has been slain, the Order player wins a major victory. In any other circumstances, each player adds up the number of enemy units that were destroyed during the battle. Double-sized units count as 2 units instead of 1; Lord Kroak, Morathi-Khaine, the Shadow Queen and MEGA-GARGANTS count as 5 models instead of 1, and any other MONSTERS count as 2 units instead of 1.

If the Destruction player has the higher total and Kragnos was not banished, they win a major victory. Otherwise, the player with the higher total wins a minor victory. If both players have the same total, the battle is a draw.
