Promotions Step
In a campaign you can Promote the Troops in your Warband up to
The Promotion Pool
To see how many Troop models you are allowed to Promote, you must first create a Promotion Dice Pool. The Promotion Dice are assigned to Troop models in your Warband, and if at least one of them rolls a 6, then the model is Promoted and gains the
Assign Promotion Dice
After you have filled the Promotion Dice Poll, you must assign the dice in the pool to the Troop models in your Warband. You cannot assign a 3rd dice to the same model until all Troop models in your Warband have at least 2 dice each, or assign a 4th dice until all Troop models have at least 3 dice each, and so on.
Roll Promotion Dice
Next you must roll the Promotion Dice you have assigned to your models. Roll the dice you assigned to a model one at a time, in any order that you choose. As soon as one of the dice rolls a“6”, stop rolling, and Promote the model you were rolling for as described next. Then roll for the next model you assigned Promotion Dice to, and so on. If you roll all of the dice without a model being Promoted, then make a note on your Roster of how many dice you have rolled in a row without getting a Promotion. Once the total reaches 5 dice, then the next roll (the 6th one), is automatically considered to be a 6.
Promoting A Troop
When a Troop model receives a Promotion, they immediately gain the

Ignore the Promotion step completely if there are already 6 or more models with the
