SET-UP Before setting up ther armies, both players rulla dice, rolling gain in the case of ti. ‘The player that rolls higher must divide the battlefield into two equal-szed halves: their opponent then picks one half to be their territory. Some examples ofthis are ‘The players then alternate setting up units, ‘one ata time, starting with the player that ‘won the earlier dice roll. Models must be setup in their own territory, more than 12" from enemy teritary, You can continue setting up units until you ‘have setup all the units you want to ght in this battle, or have run out of space. Tis is ‘yur army. Count the number of models ia ‘your army ~ this may come in useful ater. Any remaining units are held in reserve, playing no part unless fate lends a hand. wy ‘The opposing player can continue to set up ‘units, When they have finished, set-up is ‘complete, The player that finishes setting up first always chooses who takes the first ten in the frst battle round, THE GENERAL ‘Once you hve finished setting up all of oUF Units, nominate one ofthe models you set upas your general Your general has a ‘command ability, as described inthe rales forthe heo phase opposite GLORIOUS VICTORY Inthe Mortal Realms batls are brutal and uncompromising - they ate fought to the bitter end, with onesie abe to claim victory because it has destroyed its foe ‘or there are no enemy models let on the field of battle, The victor can immediatly claim a major victory and the honours and triumphs that are dueto them, while the defeated must repair to their lair to lick their wounds and bear the shame of failure. Ifithas not been possible to fight a battle twits conclusion or the outcome is not ‘obvious, then a result of sorts can be «calculated by comparing the number of ‘models removed from play with the number ‘of models originally set up forthe battle for each army. Expressing these as percentages provides simple way to determine the winner. Such a victory can only be claimed asa minor victory. For example, ifone player lost 75% of their starting models, and ‘the ather player lost 50%, then the player ‘that only lost 50% oftheir models could claim a minor victory ‘Models aded to your army during the game (for example, through summoning, reinforcements, reincasnation and s0 on) do pot count towards the number of models in the army, but must be counted among the ‘casualties an army sues SUDDEN DEATH VICTORIES Sometimes player may attempt to achieve sudden death vitor: [Fone amy has 4 third more models than the other the ‘outnumbered payer can choose one objective from the sudden death table after generals are nominated.

The weapon options a model has are listed in its description on its warscroll Missile weapons can be used inthe shooting ‘phase, and melee weapons can be used in the combat phase, The numberof attacks ‘a model can make is equal tthe Attacks characteristic for the weapons it can use. PICKING TARGETS First, you must pic the target units for the attacks. In order to attack an enemy unit, an enemy model from that unit must ‘bein range ofthe attacking weapon (Le within the maximum distance, in inches, ofthe Range listed for the weapon making the attack), and visible tothe attacker (If unsure, stoop down and get look from ‘behind the attacking model to seeif the target is visible). For the purposes of determining visibility, an attacking model can ee through ather models in its unit. Ifa model has more than one attack, you can split them between potential target units as you wish. Ifa model splits its attacks between two or more enemy units, resolve al ofthe attacks against one unit ‘before moving onto the next one MAKING ATTACKS “Attacks can be made one at atime, of in ‘some cass, you can roll the dice for attacks together. The following attack sequence is used to make attacks one a atime 1 Hit Roll: Rolla dice Ifthe roll equals ‘or beats the attacking weapons To Hit characteristic then it scores a hit and you ‘must make a wound rol. not, the attack {alls andthe attack sequence ends. 2, Wound Roll: Rolla dice Ifthe roll ‘equals or beats the atacking weapon's ‘To Wound characteristic, then it causes damage and the opposing player must make save roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. 3.Save Roll: The opposing player rollsa dice, modifying the roll by the attacking ‘weapon's Rend characteristic. For example, if weapon has a-1 Rend characteristic, then Lis subtracted from the save roll. Ifthe ‘result equals or beats the Save characteristic ‘ofthe models in the target unit, the wound is saved and the attack sequence ends, If not, the attack s successful, and you must determine damage on the target unit. 4. Determine Damage: Once all ofthe attacks made bya unit have been carried ‘ut, each succesful atack inflicts a ‘number of wounds equal to the Damage characteristic ofthe weapon. Most weapons hhave a Damage characteristic of 1, bt some «an inflict 2 or more wounds allowing ‘them to eause grievous injures to even the _mightes foe, ot cleave through more than one opponent with buta singe blo! In order to make several atacks at once, all ‘ofthe attacks must have the same lo Hit, 10 ‘Wound, Rend and Damage characteristics, and must be directed a the same enemy unit If this the case, make all ofthe hit rolls atthe same time, then all ofthe wound roll, ancl finally ll of the save roll; then add up the total number of wounds caused. INFLICTING DAMAGE «Afterall ofthe attacks made bya unit have ‘been caried ou, the player commanding the target unit allocates any wounds that are inflicted to models from the unit as they see fit (the models do not have tobe within ‘ange or visible to an attacking unt), When inflicting damage, i you allocate a wound toa model, you must keep on allocating ‘wounds to that model until either its slain, ‘or no more wounds remain to be allocated, (Once the number of wounds suffered by a ‘model during te battle equals its Wounds characteristic, the moda ie slain. Place the slain model t one side iis removed from play Some warscrlls include abilities that allow wounds tobe healed. healed wound no longer has any effect. You cant heal ‘wounds on a model that has been slain, MORTAL WOUNDS Some atacks inflict mortal wounds, Do not ‘make hit, wound or save rolls for a mortal ‘wound ~just allocate the wounds to models from the target unit as described above. COVER all models ina unit are within oron a terrain feature, you can add 1 to all save rolls for that unit to represent the cover they receive from the terrain. This modifier does ‘not apply inthe combat phase ifthe unit you are making saves for made a charge ‘move in the same turn. rh Au Sar © Ges Nish Line 15 WIZARDS ‘The realms are saturated with magic, a seething source of power for those ‘with the wit to wield it. Some models ate nated as being a wizard on their warsrol. You can use a wizard to cast spells in your hero phase, and can also use them to unbind spells in your opponents hhero phase.
