Disciples of Tzeentch
While the crude warlords of the mortal races measure their success by territory conquered, the Disciples of Tzeentch seek nothing less than to capsize reality itself. They are masters of the sorcerous rite and the devious plot. When at war, a barrage of magic reveals the awful truth – that their enemies were doomed before the first shot was fired.
This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Disciples of Tzeentch miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting faction rules to a range of warscrolls. The rules are split into the following sections:Contents | ||

Designers’ Commentary
Faction Pack: Disciples of Tzeentch
| Q: | Can the target of ‘Sorcerers of War’ attempt to cast a spell in the combat phase if that wizard already attempted to cast in the hero phase of the same turn? |
| A: | Yes. |
Battletome: Helsmiths of Hashut
| Q: | When using ‘Harness Daemonic Power’, when daemonic power points are removed from units, are they retained to be reallocated to friendly units or are they lost? |
| A: | They are lost. |
Battletome: Blades of Khorne
| Q: | Does the ‘Blood-drenched’ ability have any effect on Skarbrand in The Exiled One Regiment of Renown? |
| A: | No. That ability is a Blades of Khorne battle trait and so will have no effect on a unit in a Regiment of Renown. |
| Q: | Does Skarbrand’s ‘Skarbrand’s Rage’ ability mean that Skarbrand is affected by the ‘Blood-drenched’ ability in the first turn of a battle? |
| A: | No. |
Faction Rules
Battle Traits
Disciples of Tzeentch armies can use the following abilities:
 Deployment Phase |
MASTERS OF DESTINY: To serve the Changer of the Ways is to instinctively understand the ebb and flow of future events and be able to manipulate their potential to the fullest.
Effect: Roll 9 dice and place them to one side. These are your destiny dice. Destiny dice can be spent during the battle to change certain dice rolls. You can never have more than 9 destiny dice at once.
During the battle, instead of making a roll from the list below for a friendly DISCIPLES OF TZEENTCH unit, you can spend your destiny dice. The roll you would have made is replaced with the roll on the destiny dice you spend. If you want to replace a 2D6 roll, 3D6 roll, etc. you must spend a number of destiny dice equal to the number before ‘D6’. Any rolls that have been replaced count as unmodified rolls, and they cannot be re-rolled, they cannot be modified by other friendly abilities except for those that apply negative modifiers (but they can be modified by enemy abilities). You cannot spend destiny dice to replace re-rolls.
Destiny dice can be spent in place of the following dice rolls:

Effect: The target has the BURNING keyword.
 Once Per Turn (Army), End of Any Turn |

1.1 Army Roster
These rules will explain how to create an army roster to prepare for a battle. You can find a blank army roster printable copy below:
Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.The BLOODBOUND keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.The non-MONSTER DAEMON keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Companion
Unless otherwise specified, attacks made by this weapon are not affected by friendly abilities that modify hit rolls, wound rolls or weapon characteristics, except for those that apply negative modifiers (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).The MONSTER keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
Battle Traits
| Once Per Battle, Any Hero Phase |
BLOOD-DRENCHED: As blood gushes down blades, armour and teeth, the fervent warriors of the Blood God are driven into a divine frenzy.
Declare: You can use this ability if at least half the number of units on both players’ army rosters combined (rounding up) have been destroyed. For example, if your roster had 9 units and your opponent’s roster had 4 units, then 7 units would need to have been destroyed.
Effect: The following effects apply for the rest of the battle:
Wild-eyed Brutality: Ignore positive modifiers to save rolls for friendly BLADES OF KHORNE units.
Blood Haze: Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLOODBOUND units have Crit (Mortal).
Weapons of Murder: Add 1 to the Rend characteristic of Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLADES OF KHORNE non-MONSTER DAEMON units, including Blood-hungry Companion weapons.
Bloodlords Supreme: Add 1 to the Damage characteristic of Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLADES OF KHORNE MONSTER units.
Effect: The following effects apply for the rest of the battle:
Wild-eyed Brutality: Ignore positive modifiers to save rolls for friendly BLADES OF KHORNE units.

Bloodlords Supreme: Add 1 to the Damage characteristic of Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLADES OF KHORNE MONSTER units.
3.5 Regiments of Renown
In addition to creating your own regiments, you can also spend points to include 1 Regiment of Renown. Regiments of Renown are pre-built regiments, each with their own special abilities. The rules for each Regiment of Renown will specify which factions can include it. A unit in a Regiment of Renown cannot be your general even if it is a WARMASTER.- You cannot include more than one Regiment of Renown in your army unless otherwise specified in the notes column of that regiment’s battle profile.
- Units in a Regiment of Renown cannot use (but can be picked as the target of, if otherwise eligible) any faction rules from the faction they are allied into, including enhancements and lores.
- If an ability allows you to set up a replacement unit (Core Rules, 24.2) for a unit in a Regiment of Renown, that unit also counts as being part of that Regiment of Renown.
6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.If a rule or ability requires a target to be both within a given range of and visible to the unit using that ability, or to a model in that unit, both conditions must be met by the same model in the target. You could not, for instance, target a unit where one model is within range but not visible and another model is not in range but is visible.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||
18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect.| Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
2.0 Spells
The declare step of each spell will tell you to make a casting roll of 2D6. If the roll does not equal or exceed the spell’s casting value (at the top-right corner of the spell), the spell fails and its effect is not resolved.If the unmodified casting roll includes 2 or more rolls of 1, the spell is miscast: the spell fails, its effect is not resolved, D3 mortal damage is inflicted on the WIZARD that used it, and that WIZARD cannot use any more spells in that phase.
Enemy reactions can only be used if the casting roll equals or exceeds the spell’s casting value. So long as the spell is not unbound (see 4.0), then it is successfully cast: resolve its effect.

18.4 Destroyed Units
When the last model in a unit is slain, the unit is destroyed and all remaining damage points inflicted on that unit have no effect. Similarly, if something causes a unit to be destroyed, all models in the unit are slain and removed from play.
16.0 Picking Targets
When declaring an ATTACK ability for a unit, you must pick the target unit(s) for its attacks. The number of attacks each model can make is equal to the Attacks characteristic of the weapons it is using. In most cases, models attack with every weapon on their warscroll (melee weapons for combat attacks, ranged weapons for shooting attacks), though some warscrolls specify that certain models in the unit are armed with special weapons or that the unit must pick between multiple weapons when it attacks.If the unit is in combat, it can only target units that are in combat with it. If a model has more than one attack, you can split the attacks between eligible targets as you wish.
- Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.
- Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).

7.0 Manifestations
There are two types of manifestation: endless spells, which can be summoned by WIZARDS, and invocations, which can be summoned by PRIESTS. Each manifestation has its own warscroll, and the spell or prayer that allows that manifestation to be summoned will be found in the appropriate manifestation lore. No more than 1 friendly WIZARD or PRIEST can attempt to summon the same manifestation per turn, and a friendly WIZARD or PRIEST cannot attempt to summon a friendly manifestation that was removed from play in the same turn.

1.5 Faction Terrain
Some factions have special terrain features called faction terrain features. Faction terrain features have their own warscrolls. They are not considered to be units, with the following exceptions:- In the combat phase, they are treated as if they were units for the purposes of movement, combat range and being in combat. Units can finish a charge move within ½" of an enemy faction terrain feature as if it were a unit.
- They are affected by all enemy abilities as if they were units.
- They can be damaged in the same manner as units. However, when they are removed from play, they count as being demolished instead of slain or destroyed (this means that they do not count as destroyed units for the purposes of abilities, scoring battle tactics etc.).
- Faction terrain features cannot contest objectives even while they are garrisoned.
- If a terrain feature has any melee or ranged weapons, it can use the ‘Fight’ and ‘Shoot’ CORE abilities as if it were a unit.
- Terrain features that have a Move characteristic of 0" (‘-’) cannot move (note that pile-in moves are a type of move).
- Faction terrain features with a Move characteristic greater than ‘-’ are treated as if they were units in all phases for the purposes of movement, combat range, being in combat and setting up terrain features, other manifestations and other units.
Some faction terrain features allow you to place a unit on them (this will be clearly specified in that terrain feature’s rules). When doing so, instead of measuring range or visibility to and from the unit that is on that terrain feature, measure to and from the terrain feature instead. Unless otherwise specified, units on a faction terrain feature cannot use FIGHT abilities.
If a unit placed on a terrain feature is removed from it (e.g. if an ability removes them from the battlefield), that unit counts as having left that terrain feature and loses any special role or benefits it had as a result of being placed on it.
| The Citadel Terrain List shows the number of scenery pieces each terrain feature can consist of. If you are using terrain features that are not included on that list, agree with your opponent before setting up the battlefield how many scenery pieces make up each terrain feature. | ||
18.3 Slain Models
The commander of a unit must pick which model(s) in the unit are slain. However, after each slain model is removed, the unit must be in a single coherent group (see 15.1). If this is not possible, continue to remove models, one at a time, until the unit is in a single coherent group. You must remove the fewest models possible to make the unit a single coherent group.

Effect: Roll 9 dice and place them to one side. These are your destiny dice. Destiny dice can be spent during the battle to change certain dice rolls. You can never have more than 9 destiny dice at once.
During the battle, instead of making a roll from the list below for a friendly DISCIPLES OF TZEENTCH unit, you can spend your destiny dice. The roll you would have made is replaced with the roll on the destiny dice you spend. If you want to replace a 2D6 roll, 3D6 roll, etc. you must spend a number of destiny dice equal to the number before ‘D6’. Any rolls that have been replaced count as unmodified rolls, and they cannot be re-rolled, they cannot be modified by other friendly abilities except for those that apply negative modifiers (but they can be modified by enemy abilities). You cannot spend destiny dice to replace re-rolls.

7.2 Banishing Manifestations
Instead of using a SPELL or PRAYER ability (including when using the ‘Magical Intervention’ ability), each WIZARD and PRIEST can use the ‘Banish Manifestation’ ability:| Your Hero Phase |
BANISH MANIFESTATION: The wizard or priest disrupts the arcane forces sustaining a manifestation, wiping it from existence.
Declare: Pick a friendly WIZARD or PRIEST to use this ability, pick a MANIFESTATION within 30" of them that was not summoned this turn to be the target, then make a banishment roll of 2D6.

24.2 Replacement Units
Some abilities allow you to set up a replacement unit. When setting up that unit, it should have the same warscroll type, weapon options and number of models as the original unit, unless otherwise specified in the ability. Many of these abilities specify the proportion of models in the replacement unit (e.g. half the number of models from the original unit). In these cases, you can pick which models from the original unit are set up.The replacement unit is otherwise treated as a new unit; any keywords or abilities the original unit gained during the battle, and any persisting effects that applied to it, do not apply to the replacement unit. Each unit can only be replaced once, and you cannot replace replacement units.
| Because a replacement unit is treated as a completely new unit, it could, for instance, use a Once Per Battle ability on its warscroll even if the unit it replaced used that ability earlier in the battle. | ||
