Master Equipment List
Hand to Hand Weapons
Axe
(RB 25); 5 gc;
Availability: Common
The axe is the traditional weapon of Empire woodsmen, and is
also used as a weapon in poorer rural areas. Axes have a heavy
blade and, if swung by a strong man, can cause a lot of damage.
The blade of an axe can easily cut through armor, though it
requires considerable strength from the wielder. Of all the
warriors in the Old World, Dwarfs are the most adept at making
axes. Their axes are invaluable to the warriors of the Old World
and are some of the most sought after weapons. Range: Close
Combat; Strength: As user; Special Rule:
● Cutting Edge: An axe has an extra save modifier of -1,
so a model with Strength 4 using an axe has a -2 save modifier
when he hits an opponent in hand-to-hand combat.
Ball and Chain
(A02 12); 15 gc; Availability: Common (Goblins only)
This is a huge iron ball with a chain attached, used by the
dreaded Night Goblin Fanatics to deal out whirling death.
Enormously heavy, it can only be used when combined with Mad Cap
Mushrooms. If the Ball and Chain wielding model moves into
contact with another model (friend or foe), he counts as
charging into close combat, and will engage in close combat
until his next Movement phase. Opponents wishing to attack a
Ball and Chain wielding model suffer a To Hit penalty of -1, as
they must dodge the whirling ball to get close enough to strike.
The Ball and Chain wielder cannot be held in close combat and
will automatically move even if he starts the Movement phase in
base contact with another model. If the model moves into contact
with a building, wall, or other obstruction, he is automatically
taken Out Of Action. In addition, a ball and chain wielding
Goblin is much too busy trying to control the spinning weapon to
worry about what others are saying about him behind his back, so
ignores the special rules for Animosity.
Range: Close combat; Strength: As user +2; Special Rules:
● Two Handed:
● Incredible Force: Because the Ball and Chain is so
heavy, normal armor does very little to protect against it. No
armor saves are allowed against wounds caused by a Ball and
Chain. In addition, any hit from a Ball and Chain is very likely
to take off someone’s head (or at least break some ribs!).
Therefore, any hit that successfully wounds will do 1D3 wounds
instead of 1.
● Cumbersome: Because the Ball and Chain is so heavy, a
model equipped with one may carry no other weapons or equipment.
In addition, only a model under the influence of Mad Cap
Mushrooms has the strength to wield a ball and chain.
● Unwieldy: The great weight of the Ball and Chain can
easily tear ligaments or pull a wielder’s arms out of their
sockets. While someone under the influence of Mad Cap Mushrooms
will not notice such effects, when the drug wears off he will be
in great pain. To represent this, at the end of the battle the
controlling player must roll for Injury for each model that used
a Ball and Chain, just as if the model had been taken Out Of
Action. If the model was actually taken Out Of Action normally,
just roll once for Injury – there is no need to make a second
roll.
● Random: The only way to wield a Ball and Chain is to
swing it around in large circles, using your body as a
counter-weight. Unfortunately this is not a very controllable
fighting style, and as soon as he starts swinging his Ball and
Chain, a warrior starts to lose control. The first turn he
starts swinging the Ball and Chain, the model is moved 2D6" in a
direction nominated by the controlling player. In his subsequent
Movement phases, roll a D6 to determine what the model does:
|
D6 |
Effect |
|
1 |
The model
trips and strangles himself with the chain. The model is
taken Out Of Action. When rolling for Injury after the game,
a roll of 1-3 means the model is out permanently, instead of
the normal 1-2. |
|
2-5 |
The model
moves 2D6" in a direction nominated by the controlling
player. |
|
6 |
The model
moves 2D6" in a random direction. If the player owns a
Scatter dice (available from Games Workshop stores), roll
that to determine direction. If not, then roll a D6: 1 –
Straight Forward, 2-3 – Right, 4-5 – Left, 6 – Straight
Back. |
Brazier Iron
(A02 85); 35 gc; Availability: Rare 7
The brazier iron
is a weapon commonly used by witch hunters. It consists of a
long heft topped by an iron cup filled with burning hot coals.
In combat, the weapon takes on an eldritch quality as the
burning embers sear the air as it is swung, opponents are sent
reeling in flaming agony as they are set on fire. Only available
to Witch Hunters. Range: Close combat; Strength: As user +1;
Special Rules:
● Two-handed: As a brazier requires two hands to use, a
model using a brazier may not use a shield, buckler or
additional weapon in close combat. If the model has a shield he
still gets a +1 bonus to his armor save against shooting.
● Fire:
Whenever you score a successful hit with the brazier staff roll
a D6. If you roll a 5+ the victim is set on fire. If the warrior
survives the attack they must score a 4+ in the Recovery phase
or suffer a Strength 4 hit each turn they are on fire and will
be unable to do anything other then move. Other warriors from
the same warband may help to put the flames out if they wish.
They must move into base-to-base contact and score a 4+in the
Recovery phase.
Fighting Claws
(RB 29); 35 gc per pair; Availability: Rare 7 (Skaven only)
The martial arts practiced by Clan Eshin employ many unusual
weapons. The most famous of these are the Eshin Fighting Claws:
sharp metal blades attached to the paws of a Skaven warrior. It
takes a real expert to use them effectively, but an adept of
Clan Eshin is a fearsome opponent when armed this way. Range:
Close Combat; Strength: As User; Special Rule:
● Pair: Fighting Claws are traditionally used in pairs,
one in each hand. A warrior armed with Fighting Claws gets an
additional attack.
● Climb: A Skaven equipped with Fighting Claws can add +1
to his Initiative when making Climbing tests.
● Parry: A Skaven armed with Fighting Claws may parry
blows and can re-roll a failed attempt once, in the same way as
a model armed with a sword and buckler.
● Cumbersome: A model armed with Fighting Claws may not
use any other weapons in the entire battle.
Claw of the Old
Ones (TC
23); 30 gc; Rare 12
This is a very ancient weapon made from a strange metal that is
impervious to age and corrosion. The powers of this artifact can
only be unleashed through a ritual known only to a handful of
Amazons. The blade of this weapon glows white hot and can cut
through armor as if it were paper. Range: Close Combat;
Strength: As User +1; Special Rule:
● No Save: The blade of the Claw can literally cut
through anything. A warrior wounded by a Claw receives no armor
save whatsoever.
● Parry: User may Parry as per normal rules.
Club,
Mace or Hammer (RB 24); 3 gc; Availability: Common
Perhaps the simplest type of weapon, these brutal, bludgeoning
instruments range from primitive wooden clubs to elaborately
forged Dwarf hammers made from the finest steel. A blow from a
mace can easily crush a skull or knock a man unconscious. Range:
Close Combat; Strength: As user; Special Rule:
● Concussion: Hammers and other bludgeoning weapons are
excellent to use for striking your enemy senseless. When using a
hammer, club or mace, a roll of 2-4 is treated as stunned when
rolling to see the extent of a model’s injuries.
Dagger
(RB 24); 1st free/2 gc; Availability: Common
Daggers and knives are extremely common, and men are allowed to
carry them in enclaves where weapons are otherwise forbidden.
Many a warrior in Mordheim has died with a dagger in his back.
Range: Close Combat; Strength: As user; Special Rule:
● +1 Enemy Armor Save: Daggers are not the best weapons
to use for penetrating an enemy model’s armor. An enemy wounded
by a dagger gains a +1 bonus to his armor save, and a 6+ armor
save if he has none normally.
Double-Handed
Weapon
(RB 27); 15 gc; Availability: Common
A blow from a double-handed axe or sword can cut a foe in half
and break armor apart. It takes a long time to learn how to use
these weapons and even then only extremely strong men are able
to wield them effectively. Range: Close Combat; Strength: As
user +2; Special Rules:
● Two-handed: A model armed with a double-handed weapon
may not use a shield, buckler or additional weapon in close
combat. If the model is equipped with a shield he will still get
a +1 bonus to his armor save against shooting.
● Strike Last: Double-handed weapons are so heavy that
the model using them always strikes last, even when charging.
Dwarf Axe
(A02 24) ; 15
gc; Availability: Rare 8 (Dwarfs only)
Dwarf axes are smaller-hafted weapons made of lighter (but
stronger) materials than normal axes. Dwarf Warriors are
specially trained in their use and are able to use them as
deftly as a Human warrior might wield a sword. Range: Close
Combat; Strength: As user; Special Rules:
● Cutting Edge: Dwarf axes have an extra save modifier of
-1, so a model with Strength 4 using a Dwarf axe has a -2 save
modifier when he hits an opponent with the axe in close combat.
● Parry: Dwarf axes offer an excellent balance of defense
and offense. A model armed with a Dwarf axe may parry blows.
When his opponent rolls to hit, the model armed with a Dwarf axe
may roll a D6. If the score is greater than the highest to hit
score of his opponent, the model has parried the blow and that
attack is discarded. A model may not parry attacks made with
double or more its own Strength – they are simply too powerful
to be stopped. A model may not parry more than one attack in a
single Close Combat phase; a model armed with two Dwarf axes (or
a Dwarf axe and a sword, etc) does not get to parry two attacks
but may instead re-roll a failed parry.
Fist
(RB 24); free; Availability: Common
The truly desperate, who don’t even own a knife, have to fight
with their bare hands. Needless to say, their chances of
survival are comparable to Halflings going without food for
eight hours! Note: The following rule only apply to warriors who
have lost their weapons. Creatures such as Zombies, animals,
etc, ignore these rules. Warriors using their fists can only
ever make 1 attack. Range: Close Combat; Strength: As user -1;
Special Rule:
● +1 Enemy Armor Save: An enemy wounded by a fist gains a
+1 bonus to his armor save, and a 6+ armor save if he normally
has none.
Flail
(RB 25); 15 gc;
Availability: Common
The flail is a heavy weapon wielded with both hands. It normally
consists of heavy weights, often spiked, attached to a pole or
handle by means of heavy chains. Flails drain the user’s stamina
quickly, but are awesomely destructive in the hands of a skilled
(or unhinged) warrior. Range: Close Combat; Strength: As user
+2; Special Rules:
● Heavy: A flail is extremely tiring to use and thus the
+2 Strength bonus applies only in the first turn of each
hand-to-hand combat.
● Two-handed: As a flail requires two hands to use, a
model using a flail may not use a shield, buckler or additional
weapon in close combat. If the model has a shield he still gets
a +1 bonus to his armor save against shooting.
Gromril Weapon
(RB 27); 4 x Price; Availability: Rare 11
Only a Dwarf Runesmith can forge a weapon from Gromril, a rare
meteoric iron. A blade fashioned from this metal will stay keen
for a thousand years. A Gromril weapon has an extra -1 save
modifier, and costs four times the price of a normal weapon of
its kind. You may choose which type of hand-to-hand weapon is
offered to you as explained in the Trading section.
Halberd
(RB 26);10 gc; Availability: Common
The halberd’s heavy blade is mounted upon a sturdy shaft of oak
or steel and has a point like a spear and a cutting edge like an
axe. Since it can be used to chop as well as thrust, it is an
adaptable weapon, but is difficult to use inside buildings.
Range: Close Combat; Strength: As user +1; Special Rule:
● Two-handed: A model armed with a halberd may not use a
shield, buckler or additional weapon in close combat. If the
model has a shield he still gets a +1 bonus to his armor save
against shooting.
Horseman’s Hammer
(EiF 16); 12 gc; Availability: Rare 10
This is a great hammer similar to the ones used by the Knights
of the White Wolf. Far too bulky to use in one hand, a
horseman’s hammer is best suited to mounted combat, when the
impetus of the horse may be used to add to the power of the
weapon. Range: Close Combat, Strength: As user +1, Special
Rules:
● Two-handed: A model armed with a horseman’s hammer may
not use a shield, buckler, or additional weapon in close combat.
If the model is equipped with a shield he will still get a +1
bonus to his Armor save against shooting.
● Cavalry Charge: A model armed with a horseman’s hammer
may use the speed of his charge to increase the might of his
attacks. A model on a steed with a horseman’s hammer gains a
further +1 Strength bonus when he charges. This bonus only
applies for that turn.
Ithilmar Weapon
(RB 27); 3 x Price; Availability: Rare 9
Elven blades are forged from priceless Ithilmar, an extremely
light but strong metal, found only in the fabled Elven kingdoms.
A few of these weapons are occasionally found in the Old World
and these are normally spoils of war, taken by the Norse raiders
who pillage the coastal settlements of the Elves. An Ithilmar
weapon gives its user +1 Initiative in hand-to-hand combat, and
costs three times the price of a normal weapon of its kind. You
may choose which hand-to-hand weapon is offered to you as
explained in the Trading section.
Lance
(RB 27); 40 gc; Availability: Rare 8
Lances are long, heavy spears used by mounted shock troops to
rip through armor and fling their foes to the ground. They are
the chosen weapons of Knights Templar and other wealthy
warriors. To use a lance requires great skill and strength, and
only the richest warriors ride the heavy warhorses needed to
wield these mighty weapons effectively. Range: Close Combat;
Strength: As user +2; Special Rules:
● Cavalry Weapon: A warrior must own a warhorse to use a
lance, as it can only be used whilst he is on horseback.
● Cavalry Bonus: If using optional rules for mounted
models, a warrior armed with a lance receives a +2 Strength
bonus when he charges. This bonus only applies for that turn.
Morning Star
(RB 26); 15 gc; Availability: Common
A morning star consists of a wooden or steel shaft with heavy
chains that have spiked steel balls attached. It is very
destructive and requires great skill to wield effectively.
Range: Close Combat; Strength: As user +1; Special Rules:
● Heavy: The morning star is extremely tiring to use, so
its +1 Strength bonus applies only in the first turn of each
hand-to-hand combat.
● Difficult to Use: A model with a morning star may not
use a second weapon or buckler in his other hand because it
requires all his skill to wield it. He may carry a shield as
normal though.
Rapier
(A02 84); 15 gc; Availability: Rare 5
The rapier is a long thing blade commonly used by duelists. It
is a deadly, shard weapon capable of delivering a multitude of
blows but lacks the power of a broadsword. Range: Close combat;
Strength: As user; Special Rules:
● Parry: Like all swords, you may use a rapier to parry
in hand to hand combat. When your opponent scores a hit you must
roll a D6. If you can score greater than the highest 'to hit'
roll you have parried the blow and the attack is discarded.
● Barrage: A warrior armed with a rapier rolls to hit and
wound as normal. However, if you mange to hit your opponent but
fail to wound, you may attack again just as if you had another
attack but at –1 to hit (down to a maximum to needing a 6 to
hit). You may continue attacking as long as you hit and it is
possible to strike your opponent many times, particularly if
your warrior has more then one attack on his profile.
● Armor Save: Because a rapier is a very light sword that
lacks the thick armor breaking blade of the broadsword, armor
saves are made at +1
Sigmarite
Warhammer
(RB 22); 15 gc; Availability: Common (Sisters of Sigmar only).
One of the traditional weapons of the Sisterhood, the Warhammer
echoes Ghal-Maraz, the great hammer of Sigmar himself. Range:
Close Combat; Strength: As User +1; Special Rules:
● Concussion: Warhammers are excellent at striking people
senseless. When using a Warhammer in close combat a roll of 2-4
is treated as Stunned when rolling on the Injury chart.
● Holy Weapon: Each Warhammer is blessed by the High
Matriarch herself before it is handed to the Sisters. The
Warhammer has a +1 bonus on all to wound rolls against any
Possessed or Undead models. Note that you will still need to
score a 6 before any modifiers in order to cause a critical hit.
Only Matriarchs and Sister Superiors may carry two Sigmarite
Warhammers.
Spear
(RB 26); 10 gc; Availability: Common
Spears range from sharpened sticks used by Goblins to the
impressive cavalry spears typical of the Elves. Range: Close
Combat; Strength: As user; Special Rules:
● Strike First: A warrior with a spear strikes first in
the first turn of hand-to-hand combat.
● Unwieldy: A warrior with a spear may only use a shield
or a buckler in his other hand. He may not use a second weapon.
● Cavalry Bonus: If using the rules for mounted models, a
mounted warrior armed with a spear receives a +1 Strength bonus
when he charges. This bonus only applies for that turn.
Squig Prodder
(A02 12); 15 gc; Availability: Common [Goblins only]
This item is a long pole with a trio of spikes at the end. It is
used by Goblin Squig herders to keep their livestock in line.
Cave Squigs will recognize a Squig prodder and automatically
give the bearer more respect, as they’ve all been on its pointy
end more than once! To represent this, a Goblin with a Squig
prodder can keep all Cave Squigs within 12" from going wild,
instead of the normal 6" (see the Minderz special rule under the
Cave Squig entry). In addition, a Squig prodder is treated
exactly like a spear in hand-to-hand combat.
Steel Whip
(RB 22); 10 gc; Availability: Common (Sisters of Sigmar only)
Another weapon unique to the Sisterhood is the steel whip, made
from barbed steel chains. Range: Close Combat; Strength: As
User; Special Rules:
● Cannot Be Parried: The steel whip is a flexible weapon
and the Priestesses use it with great expertise. Attempts to
parry its strikes are futile. A model attacked by a steel whip
may not make parries with swords or bucklers.
● Whipcrack: when the wielder charges they gain +1A for
that turn. This bonus attack is added after any other
modifications. When the wielder is charged they gain +1A that
they may only use against the charger. This additional attack
will ‘strike first’. If the wielder is simultaneously charged by
two or more opponents they will still only receive a total of
+1A. If the wielder is using two whips at the same time then
they get +1A for the additional hand weapon, but only the first
whip gets the whipcrack +1A.
Sword
(RB 25); 10 gc;
Availability: Common
The sword is often referred to as the ‘king of weapons’. The
most common sword available, the broadsword of the Empire, is a
masterpiece by the standards of any smith: four full feet of
gleaming steel, double-edged and razor-sharp. Swords are much
more effective weapons than crude clubs and axes, though
learning to use a sword is a long and difficult process. It
takes years to truly master this weapon – most warriors in
Mordheim die long before they get this far! Range: Close Combat;
Strength: As user; Special Rule:
● Parry: Swords offer an excellent balance of defense and
offence. A model armed with a sword may parry blows. When his
opponent rolls to hit, the model armed with a sword may roll a
D6. If the score is greater than the highest to hit score of his
opponent, the model has parried the blow, and that attack is
discarded. A model may not parry attacks made with double or
more its own Strength – they are simply too powerful to be
stopped.
Sword Breaker
(A02 84); 30 gc; Availability: Rare 8
The sword breaker is a specialist weapon wrought by only the
most talented sword smiths. Next to the hilt are two prongs
concealed within the blade that can be used to trap an
opponent's blade, twisting and snapping it with a single, well
time movement. Range: Close combat; Strength: As user; Special
Rules:
● Parry: The sword breaker allows the wielder to parry
the attacks of his opponent's in close combat. When your
opponent scores a hit, roll a D6. If you can roll greater than
the highest 'to hit' of your oppenent, you have parried the
attack and the blow is wasted.
● Trap Blade: Whenever you make a successful parry
attempt roll a D6. If you score a 4+, you break the weapon your
opponent was using. The weapon is now useless and they must use
another one, or if they have no other weapon, resort to unarmed
combat.
Weeping Blades
(RB 29); 50 gc per pair; Availability: Rare 9 (Skaven only)
The adepts of Clan Eshin use weapons called Weeping Blades,
murderous swords constructed with a small amount of warpstone in
their structure. A Weeping Blade constantly sweats a deadly
corrosive venom.
Range: Close Combat; Strength: As User; Special Rule:
● Pair: Weeping Blades are traditionally used in pairs,
one in each hand. A warrior armed with Weeping Blades gets an
additional attack.
● Venomous: The venom of Weeping Blades will enter the
blood of the victim and ravage his organs and muscles. These
weapons count as being permanently coated in black lotus (see
the Equipment section). No additional poison may be applied to
Weeping Blades.
● Parry: Weeping Blades are swords and can be used for
parrying.
Missile Weapons
Blowpipe
(RB 29); 25 gc; Availability: Rare 7 (Skaven, Lizardmen and
Forest Goblins only)
The blowpipe is a short hollow tube which can be used to shoot
poisoned darts. While the darts by themselves are too small to
cause significant damage, the poison used by the Skaven can
cause searing agony and eventual death. The other advantage of a
blowpipe is that it is silent, and a well-hidden shooter can
fire the darts undetected. Range: 8"; Strength: 1; Special Rule:
● Save +1: Allows the victim +1 to their Save, or if they
have no save roll, they may roll a 6+.
● Poison: The needles fired by a blowpipe are coated in a
venom very similar in its effects to the Black Lotus (if you
roll a 6 on the To Hit roll, the victim is automatically
wounded). A blowpipe cannot cause critical hits. This weapon has
a positive armor save modifier, so a model that normally has a
save of 5+ will get a save of 4+ against a blowpipe dart. Even
models that normally do not have an armor save will get a 6+
save to take into account protection offered by clothes, fur or
the like.
● Stealthy: A Skaven armed with a blowpipe can fire while
hidden without revealing his position to the enemy. The target
model can take an Initiative test in order to try to spot the
firing Skaven. If the test is successful, the Skaven no longer
counts as hidden.
Bow
(RB 28); 10 gc;
Availability: Common
The bow is carried by most races and used extensively in
warfare. It is a compact yet powerful weapon, that is cheap to
make and easy to maintain. Maximum Range: 24"; Strength: 3;
Special Rules: None
Crossbow Pistol
(RB
30); 35 gc; Availability: Rare 9
Crossbow pistols are masterpieces made by expert weapon-smiths.
They are miniature crossbows with all the power and accuracy of
the real thing. As these weapons may be easily concealed, they
are the favored weapon of assassins. Maximum Range:10";
Strength: 4; Special Rule:
● Shoot In Hand-to-Hand Combat: A model armed with a
crossbow pistol may shoot it in the first round of a
hand-to-hand combat and this shot is always resolved first,
before any blows are struck. This shot has an extra -2 to hit
penalty. Use model’s Ballistic Skill to see whether it hits or
not. This bonus attack is in addition to any close combat weapon
attacks.
Crossbow
(RB 29); 25 gc;
Availability: Common
A crossbow consists of a short, strong bow-stave mounted on a
wooden or steel stock. The crossbows of the Empire are made of
steel and often include a winding mechanism to draw back the
string. It takes a long time to prepare a crossbow, but a bolt
fired from one has a tremendous range and can penetrate armor
easily. Crossbows take much longer than other bows to make, so
they are expensive and relatively rare weapons. Still, they are
the preferred weapon of many in Mordheim because of their power
and long range. Maximum Range: 30"; Strength: 4; Special Rule:
● Move or Fire: You may not move and fire a crossbow on
the same turn, other than to pivot on the spot to face your
target or to stand up.
Elf Bow
(RB 28); 35
+3D6 gc; Availability: Rare 12
Elven bows are the finest missile weapons of their kind.
Constructed from Ithilmar or wood from the Elf forests, with
strings woven from the hair of Elf maidens, Elven bows are far
superior to any missile weapons made by other races. In the
hands of an Elven archer, the Elf bow is a truly potent weapon,
its long range and penetrating power making it far superior to
any bow made by humans. Maximum Range: 36"; Strength: 3; Special
Rules:
● -1 Save Modifier: An Elf bow has a -1 save modifier on
armor saves against it.
Javelins
(TC 23); 5 gc;
Availability: Common
Javelins are short throwing spears specially weighted to travel
quite a distance. Although they have a much reduced range when
compared to an arrow they can cause quite considerable damage
when thrown by a person of great strength.
Range: 8";
Strength: As User; Special Rules:
● Thrown Weapon: Javelins are thrown weapons and the
warrior suffers no penalties for moving and shooting.
Long Bow
(RB 28); 15 gc;
Availability: Common
A long bow is made of alternating layers of either yew or elm. A
skilled archer can hit a chosen leaf on a tree from three
hundred paces with this weapon. The long bow is favored by
experienced archers due to its great reach and accuracy. Maximum
Range: 30"; Strength: 3; Special Rules: None
Repeater Crossbow
(RB
30); 40 gc; Availability: Rare 8
Repeater crossbows are extremely complex devices, expensive to
acquire and difficult to make. While this makes them rare, they
certainly have their uses: they can rain a deadly hail of bolts
on enemies, and a warrior using one may move quite fast and
still fire his weapon. Maximum Range: 24"; Strength: 3; Special
Rule:
● Fire Twice: A model armed with a repeater crossbow may
choose to fire twice per turn with an extra -1 to hit penalty on
both shots.
Short Bow
(RB 28); 5 gc;
Availability: Common
Short bows are small, short-ranged bows that are cheap and
require little strength to use. Some cavalry carry a shortened
bow which is easier to shoot from horseback than a larger bow.
Halflings also use short bows, as they lack the strength and
height required to use a long bow. Maximum Range: 16"; Strength:
3; Special Rules: None
Sling
(RB 29); 2 gc;
Availability: Common
Slings are rarely used, mainly because they are no more powerful
than bows and have a shorter range. A sling is little more than
a looped strip of cloth or leather into which a stone is placed.
The sling is whirled about the slinger’s head and the sling
stone is then released towards the target. While this weapon is
looked down upon by most archers, a skilled slinger can slay a
man from a considerable distance, and the ammunition is easy to
find: rocks are everywhere and free! Maximum Range: 18";
Strength: 3; Special Rule:
● Fire Twice at Half Range: A slinger may fire twice in
the shooting phase if he does not move in the movement phase. He
cannot shoot over half range (9") though, if he fires twice. If
the model fires twice then each shot is at -1 to hit.
Sunstaff
(TC 23); 50 gc; Availability: Rare 12
The Sunstaff is a long tubular stick that is made from a strange
multicolored metal with one end hollow like a tube. Strange
runes are carved along its length and a large gemstone is set
into the pommel. Despite being extremely ancient (Elf Lore
Masters of the White Tower of Hoeth claim to have found a
similar device that they surmise is more than 20,000 years old –
older than the Elven race itself!), the wielder of the Sunstaff
can discharge a beam of energy akin to the rays of the sun.
Range: 24";
Strength: 4; Special Rules:
● Accurate: The Sunstaff does not suffer the usual -1
modifier to hit for long range.
● No Save: The beam from a Sunstaff can literally cut
through anything. A warrior wounded by a Sunstaff receives no
armor save whatsoever.
Sun Gauntlet
(TC 23); 40 gc; Availability: Rare 12
This, as with all strange arcane Amazon items, is made from an
unknown multicolored metal that is impervious to damage or
corrosion. It is covered in strange runes and a bright gemstone
is set into the hilt. In many ways this weapon resembles a
Blackpowder pistol. It can be held in one hand and when pointed
at an enemy unleashes a blinding beam of energy like the
Sunstaff.
Range: 12";
Strength: 4; Special Rules:
● Accurate: The Sun Gauntlet does not suffer the usual -1
modifier to hit for long range.
● No Save: he beam from a Sun Gauntlet can literally cut
through anything. A warrior wounded by a Sun Gauntlet receives
no armor save whatsoever.
● Hand-to-Hand (HtH): The Sun Gauntlet can be used with
another close combat weapon in hand to hand combat with Strength
4 and no armor save. Because it does not require prepared shot,
this bonus attack may be used in each turn of combat.
Throwing
Stars/Knives
(RB 29); 15 gc;
Availability: Rare 5
Throwing stars are used mainly by the assassins of the sinister
House of Shadows, or by street thugs who specialize in ambushing
the unwary. A perfectly balanced knife thrown from behind has
ended the life of many a noble and merchant in Mordheim.
Throwing knives are not suitable for close combat, as their
balance makes them unwieldy in close quarters. Range: 6";
Strength: As user; Special Rule:
● Thrown Weapon: Models using throwing stars or knives do
not suffer penalties for range or moving as these weapons are
perfectly balanced for throwing. They cannot be used in close
combat.
Blunderbuss
(RB 32); 30 gc;
Availability: Rare 9
A blunderbuss is a primitive Blackpowder weapon, which fires a
hail of lead balls, rusty bolts, bent nails, and other assorted
scrap metal. It is a powerful, if erratic, weapon and takes such
a long time to load that most warriors discard it after the
first shot. Maximum Range: Special; Strength: 3; Special Rules:
● Shot: When your model fires the blunderbuss, draw a
line 16" long and 1" wide in any direction from the firer (the
line must be absolutely straight). Any and all models in its
path are automatically hit by a Strength 3 hit.
● Fire Once: It takes a very long time to load a
blunderbuss so it may only be fired it once per battle.
Double-barreled
Hunting Rifle
(A02 41); 250 gc; Availability: Rare 12
Double-barreled Pistol (A02 41); 30 gc/60 gc for a brace;
Availability: Rare 10
Knowing Ostlanders’ penchant for impressive weaponry (and ready
willingness to spend excessive amounts of money) a Weaponsmith
from Hochland decided to weld two barrels together on a pistol
and sell it for twice the price. The Warband was so impressed
with their new weapon that they asked him to do the same to
their hunting rifle. Since then the Weaponsmith has been flooded
with orders from some of the most powerful Warbands in Mordheim.
A double-barreled gun (of any sort) is treated exactly like a
normal version with one exception. Any enemy is hit by two
blasts rather than one (i.e. a pistol causes two S4 hits rather
than one for each successful hit.) However, each barrel takes a
full turn to reload (although if you reload only one barrel you
can fire it like a normal pistol/rifle). If you own a
brace of
double-barreled pistols you may fire them every other round
(rather than every round like a normal brace).
Dueling
Pistol/brace
(RB 32); 30 gc/60
gc; Availability: Rare 10
A dueling pistol is a work of art, and a gunsmith labors long
and hard to produce a single example. They are often carried by
Imperial nobles to solve disputes over love and honor, and many
a noble has died at dawn in a duel over some grievance. Dueling
pistols are prohibitively expensive weapons and common warriors
rarely have them. Even if they do manage to steal or buy one,
the ammunition is prohibitively expensive. Some of the
wealthiest warriors in Mordheim carry dueling pistols as status
symbols, commanding great respect, admiration and envy. Maximum
Range: 10"; Strength: 4; Special Rules:
● Accuracy: A dueling pistol is built for accuracy as a
skilled duelist is able to hit a coin from twenty paces. All
shots and close combat attacks from a dueling pistol have a +1
bonus to hit.
● Prepare Shot: A dueling pistol takes a complete turn to
reload, so your model may only fire every other turn. If he has
a brace of dueling pistols he may fire every turn.
● Save Modifier: Dueling pistols are even better at
penetrating armor than their Strength 4 suggests. A warrior
wounded by a dueling pistol must make his armor save with a -2
modifier.
● Hand-to-Hand: Dueling pistols can be used in
hand-to-hand combat as well as for shooting. A model armed with
a dueling pistol and another close combat weapon gains +1
Attack, which is resolved at Strength 4 with a -2 save modifier.
This bonus attack can be used only once per combat. If you are
firing a brace of dueling pistols, your model can fight with 2
Attacks in the first turn of close combat. These attacks are
resolved with a model’s Weapon Skill like any normal close
combat attack and likewise may be parried. Successful hits are
resolved at Strength 4 and with a -2 save modifier, regardless
of the firer’s Strength.
Handgun
(RB 33); 35 gc;
Availability: Rare 8
A handgun is a simple firearm. The quality of construction
varies ranging from the crude wooden ‘hakbuts’ of the artillery
school of Nuln, to the more sophisticated Dwarf firearms that
have levers and springs which hold the burning match, and
triggers which release the firing mechanism and fire the gun.
Handguns are not terribly reliable weapons: the gun barrel
occasionally tends to explode violently or the powder fails to
ignite. But the weapon has a great range and tremendous
penetrating power, making a mockery of even the thickest armor.
In Mordheim, handguns are rare and expensive, but a warband
which can boast such a weapon will command respect from all its
rivals. Maximum Range: 24"; Strength: 4; Special Rules:
● Prepare Shot: A handgun takes a complete turn to
reload, so you may only fire it every other turn.
● Move or Fire: You may not move and fire a handgun in
the same turn, other than to pivot on the spot to face your
target or stand up.
● Save Modifier: Handguns are even better at penetrating
armor than their Strength 4 suggests. A warrior wounded by a
handgun must take its armor save with a -2 modifier.
Hochland Long
Hunting Rifle
(RB 33); 200 gc;
Availability: Rare 11
Hochland is a province famed for its hunters, and the preferred
weapon of its nobility when they go hunting is a long-ranged
rifle. They are extremely rare and precious weapons, and only
the most experienced weapon smiths are capable of manufacturing
them. Maximum Range: 48"; Strength: 4; Special Rules:
● Move or Fire: You may not move and fire a Hochland long
rifle in the same turn, other than to pivot on the spot to face
your target or stand up from knocked down.
● Prepare Shot: A Hochland long rifle takes a complete
turn to reload, so you may only fire it every other turn.
● Pick Target: A model armed with a Hochland long rifle
can target any enemy model in sight, not just the closest one.
● Save Modifier: Hochland long rifles are even better at
penetrating armor than their Strength 4 suggests. A warrior
wounded by a long rifle must make his armor save with a -2
modifier.
Pistol/brace
(RB
31); 15 gc/30 gc; Availability: Rare 8
A pistol is a small, simple Blackpowder weapon fired by a spring
mechanism. Most pistols are expensive, unreliable, and poorly
constructed. Maximum Range: 6"; Strength: 4; Special Rules:
● Prepare Shot: A pistol takes a whole turn to reload, so
you may only fire every other turn. If you have a brace of
pistols (i.e., two) you may fire every turn.
● Save Modifier: Pistols are even better at penetrating
armor than their Strength value of 4 suggests. A model wounded
by a pistol must take its armor save with a -2 modifier.
● Hand-to-Hand: Pistols can be used in hand-to-hand
combat as well as for shooting. A model armed with a pistol and
another close combat weapon gains +1 Attack, which is resolved
at Strength 4 with a -2 save modifier. This bonus attack can be
used only once per combat. If you are firing a brace of pistols,
your model can fight with 2 Attacks in the first turn of close
combat. These attacks are resolved with a model’s Weapon Skill
like any normal close combat attack and likewise may be parried.
Successful hits are resolved at Strength 4 and with a -2 save
modifier, regardless of the firer’s Strength.
Warplock
Pistol/brace
(RB 29); 35/70 gc; Availability: Rare 11 (Skaven only)
Warplock pistols are terrifying weapons, testimony to the mad
genius of Clan Skryre engineers. Warplock pistols shoot
ammunition made of magically treated warpstone and wounds caused
by Warplock pistols are horrible to behold and often cause
infections. Range: 8"; Strength: 5; Special Rule:
● Save -3: Victim suffers -3 to their Save roll.
● Fire Every Other Turn: May be fired once every other
turn. Braces may be fired once every turn, or twice every other
turn.
Barding
(EiF 16); 30 gc; Availability: Rare 11
Barding is armor for a horse in the same way that light and
heavy armor is for a human. It covers the mount’s hide and in
some cases the head. A model mounted on barded horse receives an
additional +1 Armor save (+2 instead of +1 for being mounted).
In addition, a mount wearing barding will only be killed on a D6
roll of a 1 if the model is taken out of action. Warhorses only.
Buckler
(RB
35); 5 gc; Availability: Common
Bucklers are small, round shields designed for parrying or
deflecting blows. They are usually made of steel for they need
to be tremendously durable to survive the brutal blows of
hand-to-hand combat. Using a buckler requires great skill, but a
nimble warrior can protect himself from blows which would
otherwise cripple him. Special Rule:
● Parry: A model equipped with a buckler may parry the
first blow in each round of hand-to-hand combat. When his
opponent scores a hit, a model with a buckler may roll 1D6. If
the score is greater than the highest to hit score of his
opponent, the model has parried the blow, and that attack is
discarded. A model may not parry attacks made with double or
more its own Strength – they are simply too powerful to be
stopped.
Gromril Armor
(RB
35); 150 gc; Availability: Rare 11
Gromril is the rarest and strongest metal known of in the Old
World. Only a very few Dwarf smiths know the secret of forging
Gromril, and a suit of armor made from it fetches a huge price.
Gromril armor gives the wearer a 4+ basic save, and does not
slow him down if he is also armed with a shield.
Heavy Armor
(RB
34); 50 gc; Availability: Common
Typical heavy armor is made from metal links and is called chain
mail. Forging chain mail is a laborious and time consuming
process, as the blacksmith must put together hundreds, sometimes
thousands, of metal links. This makes chain mail expensive, but
this type of armor provides excellent protection for anyone who
can afford it. There are other types of heavy armor as well, of
which the best known are the steel breastplates and greaves worn
by the foot knights of the Templar orders. Special Rules:
● Save: A warrior that is wearing heavy armor has a basic
D6 saving throw of 5+.
● Movement: A warrior that is armed with both heavy armor
and a shield suffers a -1 Movement penalty.
Helmet
(RB
35); 10 gc; Availability: Common
From the shining steel helmets of Bretonnian knights to the
leather caps of the Skaven, all sensible warriors try to protect
the most vulnerable part of their body – their head. Even the
most vain fighters still use a helmet, as it can be festooned
with plumes, horns and other decorations. Helmets come in
varying shapes and sizes, but their basic function remains the
same. Special Rule:
● Avoid Stun: A model that is equipped with a helmet has
a special 4+ save on a D6 against being stunned. If the save is
made, treat the stunned result as knocked down instead. This
save is not modified by the opponent’s Strength.
Ithilmar Armor
(RB
35); 90 gc; Availability: Rare 11
Ithilmar is a silvery metal which is as light as silk and
stronger than steel. Elves are experts at fashioning weapons and
armor from Ithilmar, and the Elven kingdom of Caledor is the
only place in the world where this metal can be found. Ithilmar
armor gives the wearer a 5+ basic save, and does not slow him
down if he is also armed with a shield.
Light Armor
(RB
34); 20 gc; Availability: Common
Light armor encompasses a wide variety of materials from
hardened leather tunics to chain shirts forged from steel. It
does not offer complete protection against arrows or swords, but
it is better than having nothing at all. Light armor does not
inhibit movement. Armor Saving Throw:
● Save: A warrior who is wearing light armor has a basic
D6 saving throw of 6.
Pavise
(A02 85); 25 gc; Availability: Rare 8
A pavise is a huge shield commonly used by regiments of warriors
in a battle to defend themselves from the arrows of their
enemies. It is a weighty item and little use in a long
protracted combat but excellent against shooting. Special Rules:
● Cover/Save: A warrior using a pavise counts as if he is
in cover against missile attacks (-1 to hit). In close combat,
the pavise counts as a shield (+1 armor save) but only if the
warrior was charged to his front. Because the pavise is so heavy
and cumbersome, the bearer moves at half pace.
Shield
(RB
35); 5 gc; Availability: Common
There are two types of shield common to the warriors of Mordheim:
the first is made of wood, occasionally reinforced with metal
plates. This basic type of shield, although strong, does tend to
splinter, but this can sometimes save the user’s life as his
enemy’s weapon can get trapped allowing him to strike back
whilst his enemy struggles to free his weapon. Metal shields are
heavy and cumbersome, but last much longer and can take a
battering. A typical Empire shield is either round or
triangular, and carries the emblem of the province or city of
its owner. Armor Saving Throw:
● Save: A model with a shield has a basic save of 6 on a
D6.
Toughened Leathers
(A02 16); 5 gc; Availability: Common
Expert leatherworkers are able to turn leather coats into armor
(after a fashion) and those with limited funds often favor these
jackets and coats as armor is very expensive. Covered with
crusted salt, alcohol and other less savory materials, toughened
leather is hard to penetrate and offers some protection in
combat.
● Special Rule: Toughened leathers work exactly like
light armor, giving the wearer a 6+ Armor save, but cannot be
combined with the effects of any other armor except a helmet or
buckler. Toughened leathers cannot be sold back at the Trading
Posts; the stench alone is enough to drive away even the most
desperate of buyers!
Wolfcloak
(A02 16); 10 gc; Availability: Special
In Middenheim it is still considered to be the feat of a true
man to slay a great wolf single-handed. Warriors who accomplish
such a deed will command the respect of their peers, and their
cloaks will be blessed by the High Priest of the Cult of Ulric,
the god of winter, war and wolves. Middenheimers only.
● Special Rules: To acquire a Wolfcloak, a Hero must pay
10 gc (to represent the expense of traveling to Middenheim and
taking part in a hunt). In addition, the Hero must roll equal to
or under his Strength on a D6. If successful, the Hero finds and
slays the wolf and can wear its cloak as a mark of his skill and
prowess. Note that Middenheimers may buy Wolfcloaks when
starting their warband without making a test for availability. A
model wearing a Wolfcloak will gain +1 to his armor saves
against all shooting attacks.
Amulet of the Moon
(TC 23); 50 gc; Availability: Rare 12
Once activated, this ancient device creates a shimmering aura
around the wearer that makes it harder for enemies to see them.
Any missile fire directed at a model equipped with the amulet
suffers a penalty of -1 to hit. The amulet also confers a
special save of 5+ against missile fire.
Banner
(A02 16); 10 gc; Availability: Rare 5
Many more established warbands carry a banner or flag, not only
to announce their presence but to also act as a rallying point
for the warband during a battle.
● Special Rule: A banner requires one hand to use and can
be carried by any Hero in the warband. Friendly warriors within
12" of the banner bearer may re-roll any failed ‘All-Alone’
test; but remember you can’t re-roll a failed re-roll.
Bear-Claw Necklace
(A02 77); 75+3D6 gc; Availability: Rare 9 (Kislevite Heroes
Only)
Bears are widely regarded as sacred in Kislev, and a necklace
made of their claws (or sometimes their teeth) is considered
magical and reputed to have magical powers. A warrior wearing a
bear-claw necklace receives some of the strength and wild
ferocity of the bear it came from. A warrior wearing a bear-claw
necklace becomes subject to Frenzy.
Black Lotus
(RB 36); 10+D6
gc; Availability: Rare 9 [Rare 7 for Skaven]
Not available to Witch Hunters, Warrior-Priests or Sisters of
Sigmar.
The use of poison is almost universally abhorred, but in the
ruthless and brutal battles fought in Mordheim, desperate
warbands often resort to the use of envenomed blades. Poison may
not be used with Blackpowder weapons. When you buy a vial of
poison, there is always only enough to last the duration of one
battle. You can only poison a single weapon with one vial of
poison.
In the deepest forests of the Southlands grows a plant that is
extremely poisonous. It is known as Black Lotus and is much
sought after by alchemists, assassins, wizards of the Western
Coast and bored wives. A weapon coated with the sap of the Black
Lotus will wound its target automatically if you roll a 6 to
hit. Note that you can still roll a dice for every wound
inflicted in this way. If you roll a 6, you will inflict a
critical hit with that roll. If you do not roll a 6, you will
cause a normal wound. Take armor saves as normal.
Blessed Water
(RB
37); 10+3D6 gc; Availability: Rare 6 [Common for Warrior-Priests
& Sisters of Sigmar]
May not be bought by Undead.
The priests of Ulric, Sigmar, Morr and Manann hold great power
over evil. Pure water from a clear fountain, blessed by one of
these priests, is said to burn things of darkness and evil. A
vial of blessed water contains enough liquid for just one use,
and has a thrown range of twice the thrower’s Strength in
inches. Roll to hit using the model’s BS. No modifiers for range
or moving apply. Blessed water causes 1 wound on Undead, Daemon
or Possessed models automatically. There is no armor save.
Undead or Possessed models may not use blessed water.
Bota Bag
(TC 18); 5 gc; Availability: Common
Like a wine skin it allows the owner to carry one more water
unit than normal. Each character may only take one Bota Bag.
Bugman’s Ale
(RB
37); 50+3D6 gc; Availability: Rare 9
Of all the Dwarf brewmasters, Josef Bugman is the most famous.
His ale is known throughout the Old World, and widely regarded
as the best. A warband that drinks a barrel of Bugman’s before a
battle will be immune to fear for the whole of the battle. Elves
may not drink Bugman’s ale as they are far too delicate to cope
with its effects. There is only enough ale to supply the warband
for one battle.
Caltrops
(A02 86); 15+2D6 gc; Availability: Rare 6
Original used on the battlefield to impede cavalry charges, a
caltrop is a small spiked iron ball. In the City of the Damned,
a pouch of these small items can be enough to deter any attacker
who risks serious injury should they try to charge over them.
There are enough caltrops to last for one use only. They may be
used when an opponent decides to charge. The defender simply
throws the caltrops into the path of his attacker and they
reduce his charge range by D6 inches. If this means that the
attacker cannot reach his target then it is a failed charge.
Cathayan Silk
Clothes
(RB 39); 50+2D6;
Availability: gc Rare 9
Some rich warband leaders like to flaunt their wealth and
purchase clothes made out of silk from distant Cathay. This silk
is the most expensive fabric in the known world, and wearing
such clothes is a sure way to attract attention – especially
thieves and assassins! Any Mercenary warband whose leader is
wearing silk clothes may re-roll the first failed Rout test.
However, after each battle in which the leader is taken out of
action, roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3 the clothes are ruined and
must be discarded.
Crimson Shade
(RB
36); 35+D6 gc; Availability: Rare 8
The use of poison is almost universally abhorred, but in the
ruthless and brutal battles fought in Mordheim, desperate
warbands often resort to the use of envenomed blades. Poison may
not be used with Blackpowder weapons. When you buy a vial of
poison, there is always only enough to last the duration of one
battle. You can only poison a single weapon with one vial of
poison.
Crimson Shade is the name given by Old Worlders to the leaves of
the blood oak of Estalia. It is an extremely addictive drug, but
grants its users inhuman quickness and strength.
● Effect: A model using Crimson Shade has his Initiative
increased by +D3 points, and Movement and Strength by +1 (this
effect lasts for one game). Crimson Shade has no effect on
Undead such as Vampires and Zombies, or the Possessed.
● Side Effects: After the battle, roll 2D6. On a roll of
2-3, the model becomes addicted and you must try to buy him a
new batch of Crimson Shade before every battle from now on. If
you fail to buy any, he will leave your warband. On a roll of 12
the model’s Initiative is increased permanently by +1.
Dark Venom
(RB 36);
30+2D6 gc; Availability: Rare 8
Not available to Witch Hunters, Warrior-Priests, or Sisters of
Sigmar
The use of poison is almost universally abhorred, but in the
ruthless and brutal battles fought in Mordheim, desperate
warbands often resort to the use of envenomed blades. Poison may
not be used with Blackpowder weapons. When you buy a vial of
poison, there is always only enough to last the duration of one
battle. You can only poison a single weapon with one vial of
poison.
This is a poison extracted from Heldrakes, gigantic sea serpents
that plague the Western Ocean and the coast of Naggaroth. The
slightest wound infected by Dark Venom causes excruciating pain,
incapacitating the bravest of men. Any hit caused by a weapon
coated with Dark Venom counts as having +1 Strength, so, for
example, if a warrior with Strength 3 wielding a poisoned sword
hits an opponent, he will cause a Strength 4 hit instead. Armor
saving throws are modified to take into account the increased
Strength of the attack.
.Elven
Cloak (RB
37, A02 61); 100+D6x10 gc; Availability: Rare 12
Made from the hair of Elven maidens and interwoven with living
tree leaves, an Elven cloak is a wonder to behold. A warrior
wearing such a cloak will blend into the shadows, making it very
difficult to shoot at them with missile weapons. Elven cloaks
rarely come up for sale, but are sometimes recovered from dead
warriors or offered by Elves as rewards to men who have served
them in some way. A warrior aiming a missile weapon at a warrior
wearing an Elven cloak suffers -1 on his to hit roll. Being from
Ulthuan, Shadow Warriors (A02 60) have access to items that are
rarely seen by other races; 75 + D6x10 gc; Availability: Rare 12
Elven Runestones
(A02 60); 50+2D6 gc; Availability: Rare 11 (Shadow Weavers Only)
High Elven mages are well known as the masters of defensive
magic. To aid them, they have developed several mystic runes of
power. They often inscribe these runes on semiprecious stones,
which can help strengthen an Elven Mage’s magical defenses. A
mage with Elven Runestones may use them to attempt to dispel a
spell that has been successfully cast against himself or another
member of his warband. To dispel such a spell, the mage must
roll against the spell’s Difficulty (Sorcery does not help
here). If he succeeds, the spell fails to work. If the roll
fails, the spell works normally.
Elven Wine
(A02 60); 50+3D6 gc; Availability: Rare 10 (Shadow Warriors
Only, one use only)
High Elven wines are well known to be the best in the world, and
some are even rumored to have magical qualities. A fine Elven
Wine can cast out doubt and fear and leave a general feeling of
well-being in a warrior. A Shadow Warrior Warband that drinks
Elven Wine before a battle will be immune to Fear for the whole
of the battle.
Familiar
(A02 61); 20+1D6 gc; Availability: Rare 8
Wizards are often solitary, usually shunned by those who can
barely conceive of, much less understand, the power these
individuals wield. As such, they often share their lives with
animal companions, rather than more ‘sentient’ beings. Sometimes
a magical link will develop between one of these animals and the
wizard, to the extent that the wizard begins to see through the
animal’s eyes, and hear its thoughts. Wizards in different lands
favor different types of familiars, depending on their
environment: Shadow Weavers tend to favor darkly-colored animals
that can blend into the shadows with them easily- ravens or
darkly-colored cats are most common. Regardless of their form,
familiars are actually not normal members of their kind at all,
but rather creatures that have somehow become attuned to the
Winds of Magic. Familiars cannot actually be purchased as normal
equipment. The cost to ‘purchase’ a familiar actually represents
the cost of materials to cast the ritual to summon a familiar
and form a magical bond with it; the Rarity level represents the
chances of the ritual actually working. As such, the cost of the
familiar must always be paid if the rarity roll is attempted,
regardless of the success of the roll. Also, only spell-casters
can attempt to ‘find’ a familiar. If a familiar is found, it
should be modeled on the Spellcaster as with any other piece of
equipment. A familiar may be placed on a separate base (in fact
many of the familiars that GW sells come this way, but if this
is done the familiar must always remain in base-to-base contact
with the wizard, and it is ignored for game purposes (so it may
not attack enemy models or be attacked itself, may not intercept
attackers, does not increase the wizard’s base size, etc.),
other than the effect below. A wizard with a familiar is allowed
to re-roll one failed roll to cast a spell each turn. The result
of this re-roll must be accepted, even if it fails, and remember
that you may never re-roll a re-roll. Spell-users only (does not
include users of Prayers). Note that unlike many of the items
above, this item is equipment that any warband with a spell-user
may use, if he can summon it successfully.
● Special Rules: The cost of the familiar must always be
paid if the rarity role is attempted, regardless of the success
of the roll. Also, only spell-casters can attempt to ‘find’ a
familiar. A wizard with a familiar is allowed to re-roll one
failed roll to cast a spell each turn. The result of this
re-roll must be accepted, even if it fails.
Fire Arrows
(A02 87); 30+D6 gc; Availability: Rare 9
Fire arrows are tied with rags soaked in oil up in a tight pouch
that explodes bunched up in a tight pouch that explodes when
hitting the target, setting clothes and equipment alight. If you
hit with a fire arrow roll a D6. If you score a 4+ your opponent
has been set on fire. If the warrior survives the attack they
must score a 4+ in the Recovery phase or suffer a Strength 4 hit
each turn they are on fire and will be unable to do anything
other then move. Other warriors from the same warband may help
to put the flames out if they wish. They must move into
base-to-base contact and score a 4+ in the Recovery phase.
Fire Bomb
(A02 86); 35+2D6 gc; Availability: Rare 9
Designed by the dwarf engineers of the Worlds Edge Mountains,
fire bombs are a rare and deadly weapon. A small batch of
gunpowder is sealed within an iron casting with a short fuse fed
into it. When lit, the thrower has only seconds before the
gunpowder ignites and explodes. This can often prove to be
dangerous, as if the fire bomb is fused incorrectly it could be
the thrower who finds himself amidst the explosion... The fire
bomb may be thrown in the Shooting phase in the same way as
blessed water (p53 Mordheim rulebook). If the bomb lands on
target, the warrior hit takes D3 Strength 4 hits with no saves
for armor and all warriors, friend or foe, within 1” of him take
1 Strength 3 hit with saves as normal. If the throwing warrior
rolls 1 when rolling to hit, the bomb misfires and explodes just
as if the throwing warrior had been hit by his own fire bomb.
Flash Powder
(A02 86); 25+2D6; Availability: Rare 8
An ancient Dwarf creation, flash powder is used in mines to
illuminate darkened fissures in the search for gold and other
precious minerals. In Mordheim, small bags of this substance can
be used to blind enemies, throwing them into disarray as you
launch your attack. Flash Powder can be thrown as and enemy
charges the wielder (as an interrupt). The charger must take and
immediate Initiative test in order to cover their eyes. If he
fails, he is temporarily blinded and it counts as a failed
charge. There is only enough flash powder for one use during the
battle.
Forest Cloak
(TC 29); 50 gc; Availability: Rare 10 (Outlaw Heroes only)
Some Outlaws use Forest Cloaks to camouflage themselves
against being seen by their enemies. Any wearer of such a cloak
would appear to blend into the surrounding forest making it
almost impossible to be seen. So long as the wearer is beside a
tree, bush, hedge or vegetation, any enemy using any kind of
missile weapon at a warrior wearing a Forest Cloak is at
an additional -1 BS to hit (in addition to all other modifiers).
Similarly, if any spellcaster wishes to target a magical attack
against an Outlaw camouflaged in this way, he can only do so by
successfully rolling a 4+ on a D6. The only exception to this is
if the shooting warrior or the spellcaster is already within
their Initiative range in inches. Forest Cloaks are
available to Heroes at the time of their initial recruitment
without having to roll for Rarity. If you wish to subsequently
purchase this item during the Trading and Exploration stages of
the game, then you would have to roll for Rarity as normal.
Garlic
(RB 37); 1 gc;
Availability: Common
May not be bought by Undead.
Garlic is a common herb grown in most gardens of the Empire. It
is said to ward off Vampires and other denizens of the dark. A
Vampire must pass a Leadership test or it will be unable to
charge a model carrying a clove of garlic. Garlic lasts for the
duration of one battle only, whether it is used or not.
Halfling Cookbook
(RB
38); 30+3D6 gc; Availability: Rare 7
All Halfling chefs have their own secret recipes, and these are
recorded in tomes handwritten in Mootland, the home country of
the Halflings. Food prepared according to these recipes will
attract warriors during these lean times. The maximum number of
warriors allowed in your warband is increased by +1 (note that
neither an Undead warband nor a Carnival of Chaos warband can

Hammer of Witches
(A02 16); 100 gc; Availability: Rare 10
The pages in this tome describe the servants of Chaos, witches,
heretics, deviants, mutants, warlocks, blasphemers,
necromancers, sinners and other enemies of Sigmar in all their
foulness. Witch Hunters only.

Healing Herbs
(RB 38,
TC 23); 20+2D6 gc; Availability: Rare 8
Certain plants that grow on the banks of the River Stir have
curative properties. Herbalists collect their roots and leaves
and use them to treat the sick and wounded. A Hero with healing
herbs can use them at the beginning of any of his recovery
phases as long as he is not engaged in hand-to-hand combat. This
restores all wounds he has previously lost during the game.
Amazon Warriors are master herbalists and may buy Healing Herbs
as common items, instead of rare items, for 35 gc.
Holy (Unholy)
Relic (RB
38); 15+3D6 gc; Availability: Rare 8 [Rare 6 for Warrior-Priests
& Sisters of Sigmar]
In this age of superstition and religious fanaticism, holy
objects are an important part of life. Relics abound in the Old
World: hairs of Sigmar, pieces from Ulric’s hammer, teeth of
Daemon Princes, all are sold to men needing encouragement before
battle and as charms against sorcery. A model with a holy relic
will automatically pass the first Leadership test he is required
to make in the game. If worn by the leader, it will allow him to
automatically pass the first Rout test if he has not taken any
Leadership tests before. You can only ignore the first
Leadership test in any single game – owning two or more holy
relics will not allow you to ignore second and subsequent tests.
Holy Tome
(RB 38);
100+D6x10 gc; Availability: Rare 8
Only available to Warrior-Priests and Sisters of Sigmar.
Books of prayers and descriptions of the holy deeds of religious
heroes like Sigmar Heldenhammer are copied by hand in the
scriptoriums of Sigmar and Ulric, and given or sold to the
faithful. Of these tomes, the Deus Sigmar is the most common and
well known, but other texts such as the Scriptures of Sigmar are
also sold to those who follow the faith. A holy man can recite
his prayers from such a book, strengthening his faith and
belief. A Warrior Priest or Sister of Sigmar with a holy tome
can add +1 to the score when determining whether he (or she) can
recite a spell successfully or not.
Horse
(RB 38); 40 gc;
Availability: Rare 8
Only available to Humans.
You may mount one of your Heroes on a horse or warhorse in the
coming battles. Horses and warhorses can only be used if you are
using the optional rules for mounted models at the back of the
book.
