Anqa Guard

Keywords

HEAVY

An Anqā Guard is represented by a model of a shield that is about 1" high and which is mounted on a 40mm base.

Pre-Battle Deployment: At the start of each game, after Deployment, you can say that a model that has an Anqā Guard is going to deploy it. If you do so, deploy the Anqā Guard anywhere wholly within your deployment zone.
Combat Deployment: A model that has an Anqā Guard can take a Combat Deployment
Action
. If it does so, take a
Risky Success

Mobile Cover: Once deployed, the Anqā Guard is treated as a piece of Impassable terrain and can serve as Cover or a Defended Obstacle. The model that had the Anqā Guard is not considered to be carrying it for the rest of the game.

Lore

Shaped into the likeness of the wondrous anqā bird, and created by the Imperial School of Military Engineering in association with the House of Wisdom, these movable defensive walls are lightweight and extraordinarily resistant to damage. Their resilience comes from a richly-decorated ceramic layer on their outer surface and a secret compound of ceramic and alchemical steel at its core.

Blast
,
Fire
,
Gas
, or

Battlefield Title

Privileged Access: Pick 1 Weapon or suit of Armour from your Armoury Tables that has the Limit special rule. Note on your Warband Roster that the Limit is increased by 1. The increase will remain in place even if the model that has the Battlefield Title is removed from your Roster later during the campaign. You are encouraged to come up with a special title for the Weapon or Armour that you have gained access to.

Lore

Glorious deeds on the battlefield may earn the most determined, ruthless and deadly officers a rank within the Holy Orders of the Church, knighthood of the Teutonic Order, or the title of ccuser knight to one of the dukes or princes of Hell.

Action
even though it doesn’t have any Melee Weapons. When it does so, it can make 4 Melee Attacks in a row, one after the other. If all 4 Melee Attacks successfully hit the same target model, and the target is mounted on a 32mm base or smaller, then the target is immediately taken Out of Action when it is hit by the 4th attack. Do not make an Injury Roll for the 4th attack, and any rules or abilities that would change the result do not apply (i.e. the
Tough
Keyword would not affect the 4th attack).

Lore

The final metamorphosis of those most favoured by the Prince of Plague is to assume the many-legged form of their warped master.

Lore

The proud nobles of the Court hunt the mighty creatures of the Path of the Beast for sport, much as a trophy hunter might slay a lion or a tiger for the sake of glory or vanity. The ferocious and malignant spirit of the fallen beast still lingers in its skin influencing its wearer to become ever more bestial in combat. The cloak bristles and moves on its own, seeping blood that covers its bearer.

Binoculars

Binoculars: Enemy models with the
Infiltrator
Keyword cannot deploy within 16" of a model with this Battlekit unless they are in their own side’s deployment zone.

instead of -1 DICE if the target has a Cloak of Alamut.

Lore

Created by the secret arts of the Assassin sect aeons ago, this cloak bends the light so that its wearer looks almost indistinguishable against any surface when they are still. It is this masterwork of Alamut that has led to tales of a fabled Cloak of Invisibility in the legends of the Sultanate.

Negate
Fire

Lore

This burning crown is held aloft by the pain-seared hands of an invisible damned soul, whose weeping cries can still be heard. It is a reward that an elite member of the Court can earn through some extraordinary act in the service of the Serpent Head they are pledged to.

Blood Marker
next to them (even if the attack misses or the Injury Roll for it has No Effect).

Lore

This heavy, cumbersome helmet always includes a gruesome mask. Crafted from the iron of Dis, it retains some of the searing heat of the Inferno, its touch causing skin to blister and peel. Due to its weight, it is almost impossible for its wearer to stand for long periods of time. Praetors and Sorcerers often force these dreadful devices onto their Wretched slaves.

Cup of Filth

Drink From The Cup: At the start of the game, before either side deploys, you can pick either 1
Elite

Artificial

Lore

This is an extraordinary creation of the House of Wisdom. It is said that within the Sultanate’s gardens lies the hidden Fountain of Life, whose waters are used as an ingredient in this powerful alchemical formula.

Explosive Charges

Keywords

CONSUMABLE

Hidden Explosives: At the start of the game, after Deployment, you can say that a model that has Explosive Charges is going to plant them on the battlefield. If you do so, secretly write down their location on a piece of paper. The Explosive Charges must be planted on a terrain piece that measures up to 8" by 8", is not fully or partially within the enemy deployment zone or within 1" of a model, and which is not a Scenario Objective that is worth any Victory Points.
Detonating the Explosives: When you Activate a friendly model, before you carry out any
Actions
you can say that the model is going to detonate any hidden explosives you set up at the start of the game. If you do so, show your opponent the piece of paper saying where the explosives are hidden, and then make an Injury Roll with the
Shrapnel
Keyword for each model (friend or foe) that is in on or in contact with the terrain piece. The terrain piece is then removed from the game. Models that were on top of the terrain piece Fall directly down to the battlefield, and an additional Injury Roll may have to be made for them if they Fall 3" or more.

The Field Shrine terrain piece must be at least ½" tall and mounted on a 40mm base. The Field Shrine is Impassable terrain and cannot be picked up or moved in any way. In the Morale Phase, each friendly Field Shrine on the battlefield adds 3 to the number of models you have in your Warband that are not Down or Out of Action, up to a maximum bonus of 9 extra models.
Tear it Down!: Models can attack a Field Shrine as if it were an enemy model. If it is hit by an attack or is in the blast radius of an attack made with a Weapon that has the
Blast
Keyword, it is removed from the battlefield and crossed off the Warband Roster (no Injury Roll is required).

Grand Anchorite

During the game, unless you are making an Injury Roll or a Bloodbath Roll, you can replace a D6 that you are about to roll with one of the dice you put aside. It is not rolled and is always treated as having rolled a 6 (roll any other dice normally). You can only use one of the dice you set aside per roll. If the model with the Piece of Silver is taken Out of Action, any of the dice you set aside that remain are discarded and cannot be used.
