Ironjawz
The warclans of the orruks are a big green fist that slams into the guts of the Mortal Realms with each new day. Followers of Gorkamorka, the god of destructive, primal violence, they fight purely for the savage joy of fighting. Ironjaw and Bonesplitter alike are caught up in a tidal wave of violence that smashes entire civilisations to rubble.

Designers’ Commentary
Battletome: Orruk Warclans
| Q: | When using the ‘Notorious Bosses’ ability, can I give a target a heroic trait that another unit already has? |
| A: | No. |
| Q: | Can each part of the Foot of Gork use the ‘Wandering Destruction’ ability each turn? |
| A: | No. This is a single manifestation with multiple parts, so it can only use that ability once in each turn. |
| Q: | In the ‘Ironjawz Bigmob’ Spearhead army, are the Brute Ragerz set up during the deployment phase? |
| A: | Yes. Only the Brutes are not set up on the battlefield during the deployment phase. The Brute Ragerz are a different unit type, so are set up normally. |
| Q: | When using the ‘Mightiest Destroyers’ ability, can I pick a second target if there is a Megaboss on Maw-Krusha on the battlefield? |
| A: | No. The ability specifies the unit name, so only a Megaboss unit is eligible. |

PATH TO GLORY
Here, you will find additional rules to use with an Orruk Warclans army while playing through a Path to Glory campaign. The Path to Glory content in this book is divided into the following sections: the Anvil of Apotheosis, Paths for lronjawz units and Paths for Kruleboyz units.
The Anvil of Apotheosis
You can have 1 Anvil of Apotheosis hero on your Order of Battle and/or army roster, unless otherwise specified in the battlepack you are using. They can be your warlord.
There are 7 steps to follow to create your hero:
1. Set a destiny point limit.
2. Fill out the starting warscroll.
3. Choose a Warclan.
4. Pick your hero’s origin and/or flaw.
5. Choose a Battle Mount.
6. Pick any Battle Mount Upgrades.
7. Pick any other upgrades.

2. Fill out the starting warscroll.
3. Choose a Warclan.
4. Pick your hero’s origin and/or flaw.
5. Choose a Battle Mount.
6. Pick any Battle Mount Upgrades.
7. Pick any other upgrades.
| Your Hero's Warscroll You can download a blank warscroll from warhammer-community.com on which to record all of your hero’s details. | ||
| The Anvil of Apotheosis is a hero creator. Using the rules in this section, you can create a custom warscroll for a HERO to use in your Path to Glory campaign. This can represent any miniature of your choosing, including one you have lovingly kitbashed or converted. After the Anvil of Apotheosis, you will find 2 Paths each for Ironjawz and Kruleboyz units. These follow the rules outlined for Paths in the Path to Glory battlepack you are using (e.g. Path to Glory: Ascension). | ||
Step 1 - Pick a Destiny Point Limit
The Anvil of Apotheosis uses a currency called destiny points. First, you need to set a destiny point limit. This will determine how many destiny points you have to spend on your hero, what type of hero they will be and what their battle profile points cost will be.
|
Over the next few steps, you will pick options for your hero. Each option has a destiny point cost, abbreviated as DP. Keep a record of the number of destiny points you have spent. You cannot exceed the limit you have set.
Step 3 - Choose a Warclan
You must pick 1 of the following Warclans for your IRONJAWZ hero to belong to:Ironsunz -4DP
ALRIGHT, GET 'EM!: At a bellowed command, the lronsunz launch themselves at their foes with a terrifying burst of speed.
| |||||||||
Bloodtoofs -4DP
HUNT AND CRUSH: Bloodtoofs eagerly smash their way through anyone foolish enough to stand before them.
| |||||||||
Da Choppas -4DP
ROUSING RUCKUS: Da Choppas are old hands at whipping the ladz into a frenzy.
| |||||||||
Step 4 - Pick Your Hero's Origin And/Or Flaw
You can pick up to 1 origin and up to 1 flaw for your hero. Each adds an ability to your hero’s warscroll. However, instead of costing destiny points, flaws give you extra destiny points to spend elsewhere.Origins
MONSTA-KILLA: This warrior is trained in the ways of the notorious Monsta-killaz and thinks fighting the biggest beasts is a ‘propa lark’. Effect: Roll a dice. On a 1, nothing happens. On a 2-5, inflict D6 mortal damage on the target. On a 6, inflict 2D6 mortal damage on the target.
EXTREMELY LOUD: This orruk never speaks at anything less than deafening, spittle-spraying volume. It makes enemy commanders that bit harder to hear.
A KNACK FOR KILLIN’: Some orruks claim that this boss is blessed by the Twin-Headed God and has the power to kill literally anything. Others say that they're just lucky.
OBSESSED WITH VIOLENCE: It is said that this orruk has fought every day of their life and only ever thinks of finding the next brawl. | ||||||||||||||||||

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.
7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’

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. | ||
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).
Shooting attacks
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.

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.

- 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.
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. | ||
3.2 The General
You must pick 1 HERO in your army that is leading a regiment to be your general. If any units in your army have the WARMASTER keyword, you must pick one of those units to be your general. Your general’s regiment can include up to 4 non-HERO units in addition to your general.
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. | ||
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 INFANTRY keyword is used in the following Ironjawz warscrolls:
The non-HERO INFANTRY keyword is used in the following Ironjawz warscrolls:
15.3 Pile-in Moves
Some abilities, such as FIGHT abilities, allow a unit to make a short move called a pile-in move to get into a better position for combat. To do so:If your unit is in combat: Pick an enemy unit your unit is in combat with to be the target of the pile-in move. Each model in your unit can move up to 3". That move can pass through the combat ranges of any enemy units, but each model must end that move no further from the target unit. At the end of the move, your unit must still be in combat with all units that it was in combat with at the start of the move.
If your unit is not in combat: Each model in your unit can move 3" in any direction. That move can pass through and end within the combat ranges of any enemy units.

19.0 Strike-first and Strike-last
If there are any STRIKE-FIRST units in combat after any non-FIGHT combat phase abilities have been used, other units cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability until those units have been picked to use a FIGHT ability. After all those STRIKE-FIRST units have fought, the active player picks the next unit to fight.If there are any STRIKE-LAST units in combat, they cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability if there are any units in combat that do not have STRIKE-LAST and have not yet used a FIGHT ability.
If a unit has STRIKE-FIRST and STRIKE-LAST, treat it as if it had neither.
| There may be situations when a unit that has STRIKE-FIRST is not in combat at the start of the phase, but because of moves such as pile-in moves, it is ‘pulled into combat’ later in the phase. In such cases, STRIKE-FIRST has no effect on that unit because it was not in combat at the start of the phase. Abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST or STRIKE-LAST constraints, so you could not pick a unit with STRIKE-LAST to fight immediately after a unit with STRIKE-FIRST. | ||
Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.The INFANTRY and HERO keywords are used in the following Ironjawz warscrolls:
| Any Hero Phase | 1 |
RALLY: With an inspiring call to action, wounded soldiers get a second wind and fresh troops take the field to replace their fallen comrades.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is not in combat to use this ability.
Effect: Make 6 rally rolls of D6. For each 4+, you receive 1 rally point. Rally points can be spent in the following ways:
Effect: Make 6 rally rolls of D6. For each 4+, you receive 1 rally point. Rally points can be spent in the following ways:
- For each rally point spent, Heal (1) that unit.
- You can spend a number of rally points equal to the Health characteristic of that unit to return a slain model to that unit.
The HERO keyword is used in the following Ironjawz warscrolls:
The INFANTRY keyword is used in the following Ironjawz warscrolls:
| Enemy Charge Phase | 2 |
COUNTER-CHARGE: Seeing the need for decisive action, the warriors charge forth to stall the enemy’s advance or enact a bold interception.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is not in combat to use this ability.
Effect: That unit can use a CHARGE ability as if it were your charge phase.
Effect: That unit can use a CHARGE ability as if it were your charge phase.
1.0 Wizards and Priests
WIZARDS are special units that can cast spells, and PRIESTS are special units that can chant prayers. Spells and prayers are powerful abilities that can have a dramatic impact on the battle.
32.1 Contesting Objectives
Unless otherwise specified, if an objective is within a model’s combat range, that model is contesting that objective. If any models in a unit are contesting an objective, that unit is contesting that objective.Each unit can only count as contesting a single objective for the purposes of determining objective control (see 32.2). Before determining objective control, for each of their units contesting two or more objectives, the active player must pick one of those objectives for it to contest. Then, their opponent does the same.
Designer’s Note: For purposes other than determining objective control, a unit can contest more than one objective.
32.0 Objectives
Many battleplans award victory points for controlling objectives, which are represented by objective markers. Unless otherwise specified, objective markers are round and 40mm wide. Models can move over and end their moves on objective markers. If an objective marker is on the border between territories, it is within all those territories but wholly within none of them. Objective markers don’t block visibility.
Charge (+1 Damage)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Damage characteristic if the attacking unit charged this turn.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.1.1 Power Level
Each WIZARD and PRIEST has a power level, shown in brackets after the keyword, e.g. WIZARD (2). A WIZARD or PRIEST’s power level determines the number of SPELL, PRAYER or BANISH abilities they can use per phase, in any combination. For example, a WIZARD (2) unit could use 1 SPELL and 1 BANISH ability in their commander’s hero phase.
32.2 Objective Control
In the deployment phase after all Deployment Phase abilities have been used and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
