SPECIAL ABILITIES •
AMBUSH n+ Some Monsters are able to Ambush the Warriors, springing from the darkness and attacking them before they have the chance to react. Each type of Monster with the Ambush ability has an Ambush Rating (n) that shows the score they need on 1D6 to successfully spring their Ambush. An Ambush Rating of ‘A’ indicates the Monster automatically succeeds in making its Ambush and doesn’t need to roll. Monsters that successfully carry out an Ambush may ignore the rule about waiting until the next Monsters’ Phase before they attack. If the Monsters appear in the Power Phase, for instance, they are placed and make one set of attacks in that phase and attack in the Monsters’ Phase. Once such Monsters have sprung their ambush they fight only in the Monsters’ Phase from then on, as normal. Note that as any sort of attack may be an Ambush, special abilities that are also Ambushes are indicated with the suffix ‘Ambush’ in the Monster Tables. AMBUSH, MAGIC n+ Some Monsters are blindingly fast at making their attacks, and can make a Magic Ambush. A Magic Ambush works in exactly the same way as an Ambush, above, except that if the Monsters succeed it is impossible to unleash a spell before their attacks start! In addition, if the Monster making the Magic Ambush is a spellcaster, in the first turn it may cast an extra set of spells as soon as it is placed. Those special abilities that are also Magical are given the suffix ‘Ambush, Magic’. ARMED WITH weapon (STR n) Some Monsters are Armed With special weapons. Rules for such items are usually contained under that Monster's description or in the Equipment Tables and you should refer to those sections for more details. In most cases such weapons simply replace the Monster's Strength, indicated by a Strength modifier (n) contained in brackets after this entry. ARMED WITH [a-b] weapon1 OR [c-d] weapon2 Some Monsters may be Armed With a choice of weapons. This entry indicates that on a 1D6 roll in the range a-b these Monsters are armed with weapon1 and in the range c-d they are armed with weapon2. ASSASSINATE n+ Some Monsters may make a special Assassinate attack. This is treated like a normal hand-to-hand combat attack except when resolving damage the blow ignores the target's armour. In addition, if the to hit roll was a natural roll of n+, where n+ is the number following the Assassinate entry (if there is one), the blow also ignores the targets Toughness. BOLT THROWER Bolt Throwers will only operate if there are two Monsters manning it. The Monster tables will say what troops are manning the Bolt Thrower when it is encountered. The crew stand directly behind the Bolt Thrower and will remain there for the entire combat operating it. It takes 2 crew to operate a Bolt Thrower, so if there is less than one left in an adjacent rear square it cannot be used. Any Monsters manning the Bolt Thrower do not get to make their normal attacks. If one of the original Monsters manning the Bolt Thrower dies, another Monster of the same type that is the closest to the Bolt Thrower will move behind it to take up the slack (randomly decide if necessary). That Monster ignores Pinning for this turn only in order to get behind the Bolt Thrower. Only the Lowest rank of Monsters will operate a Bolt Thrower. For example, Necromancers, Liches, Skaven Champions, Orc War Chiefs, Goblin Bosses, etc, will not move to use the Bolt Thrower. However Skaven Clanrats, Skaven Stormvermin, Skeletons, Dark Elf Warriors,, etc, will. The Bolt Thrower takes its turn using the Initiative value of the Monster with the lowest Initiative value that is manning it. Due to its size, once placed, the Bolt Thrower cannot be moved. The Bolt Thrower has a range of 20 squares and can only fire in a fixed forward arc (similar to Chaos Dwarf Blunderbuss’) It will aim for a different target each turn - randomly determine who it goes for. The damage caused by the bolts is modified for Toughness only. When determining if the bolts hit the Warrior roll on the following chart: 1
Breaks 2-4
Miss 5
Hit 6
Pierce BOUNCE Some Monsters may jump over a blocked square in order to reach their intended target. They must land in an empty square, and may not jump more than one square. The bounce takes up one square of movement. Monsters that can bounce are not Pinned, for obvious reasons. BREAK Some Monsters are innately cowardly, and if the fight is going badly will turn tail and run. These Monsters have a Break Point. At the end of each turn during which one or more Monsters with a Break Point were killed, roll 1D6 for each different type that took casualties. If the score is greater than or equal to the remaining number of that type of Monster, they break and run, vanishing into the shadows - remove them from the board. The Warriors do not get the Gold Value for any Monsters that run away, though they do get a Treasure card at the end of the combat as usual. BREATHE FIRE n Some Monsters can Breathe Fire. Each type of Monster with the Breathe Fire ability has a Fire Breath Strength Rating (n) that shows the attack's damage. At the start of each turn roll 1D6. The number rolled indicates how many of the Warriors are engulfed in flame. If the score is higher than the number of Warriors present all of them have been hit. If not all of them are hit use the Warrior counters to determine who escapes. Each Warrior hit by the fire suffers nD6 Wounds, with no modifier for armour (where n is the Monster’s Fire Breath Strength Rating). CHILL n Some Monsters make a special Chill attack rather than a normal hand-to-hand combat attack. Such Monsters make a to hit roll as normal, but when determining damage they simply cause nD6 Wounds with no modifiers for Toughness or armour (where n is the number after the Chill entry). In addition, if the target is reduced to 0 Wounds by a Chill attack he is immediately killed and may only be healed by spells and magic items that actually raise their target from the dead rather than heal him, such as the Resurrection Spell. CLAW n+ Some Monsters have long sharp claws which they use to rip a Warrior to shreds. If the Monster rolls n or over To Hit then the damage caused is not modified for armour. DAEMONIC n Some
Monsters are of Daemonic origin and as such are very difficult to
hit. When making an attack with a non-magical weapon against such
a creature, your Warrior's to hit rolls are reduced by n, where
n is the number after the Daemonic entry. Attacks with magical weapons
are made as normal. Some Chaos Monsters have performed such a service to their God, that they have been blessed by them. Daemonic Rewards are special gifts bestowed upon the Monster by the Chaos Gods. Roll the appropriate number of dice on the table according to which God the Chaos Monster serves. KHORNE 1

Warp Staff DODGE n+ Some Monsters are able to Dodge in the same way as the Elf Warrior. Each type of Monster with the Dodge ability has a Dodge Rating (n+) that shows the score they need on 1D6 to successfully dodge an incoming blow. DROP item m+ (STR n) Some flying Monsters are armed with weapons that they can Drop, such as rocks. As soon as such Monsters are placed on the board, before the Warriors can do anything they drop these weapons in a special, single attack. You will need to score the value indicated by m on 1D6 to be able to hit the Warriors. The dropped weapon has Strength n, where n is the value in the brackets after the Drop entry. The weapon therefore causes (the Monster's damage dice)+n Wounds modified for the target's Toughness and armour, according to the normal rules for missile weapons. After dropping their special weapons these Monsters attack in hand-to-hand combat in the Monsters' Phase as normal. ETHEREAL n Some Monsters, such as Wraiths, are insubstantial, ethereal beings. Such Monsters can never be pinned, and may move freely through other Monsters and obstacles as if they weren't there. In addition, when making an attack with a non-magical weapon against such a creature, your Warrior's to hit rolls are reduced by n, where n is the number after the Ethereal entry. Attacks with magic weapons are made as normal. FATAL DAMAGE Some Monsters' attacks and items, such as Tomb Rot and Venom Armour, inflict a special sort of damage called Fatal Damage. This works in exactly the same way as normal damage, but is calculated at the very end of the turn and thus after all of that turn's healing has been done. This means that a Warrior that takes enough Fatal Damage to take him to 0 Wounds or below has no last chance to heal it and is thus automatically killed. FEAR n Some Monsters cause Fear because they are particularly frightening for one reason or another. Zombies, for instance, are the re-animated corpses of once-human warriors and are terribly fearsome to face in combat. Minotaurs, on the other hand, cause Fear because of their sheer size and ferocity. Each Monster that causes Fear also has a Fear Value, indicated by the n after the Fear entry. When an event occurs that generates Monsters that cause Fear, roll 1D6+ (the Warrior's Battle-level) for each Warrior that wants to attack a fear-causing Monster. This is the Warrior's Fear roll. If the total is greater than the Monster’s Fear Value, that Warrior is not afraid of them during this combat and may fight them as normal. If the total is less than or equal to the Monsters' Fear Value, that Warrior is afraid of them during this combat, and fights them at -1 on his to hit rolls. If a Wizard fails his Fear roll any spells he attempts to cast against that Monster have their Casting Numbers increased by + 1. Each time the Warriors meet a particular type of Monster that causes Fear they must make a Fear roll, as the effect of the roll, whether good or bad, applies only to that type of Monster during this one combat. If there are two types of Monster in the room that cause Fear, make a Fear roll for each Warrior against the particular Monster he is fighting. FIGHT IN RANKS Some Monsters, such as Goblins with spears, are armed with weapons that allow them to Fight in Ranks, to engage an opponent in hand-to-hand combat from 2 squares away, as long as the square between is either empty or contains friendly models. FLY Some Monsters are able to Fly, and thus can move around the board with a greater degree of freedom. Monsters that can Fly may move to any empty square on the board within their Movement range, ignoring all obstacles in their way. Monsters that fly may not be pinned in combat and may change their target each turn. Draw a Warrior counter at the start of each Monsters' Phase for each flying Monster to determine which Warrior it attacks. (If there isn't an empty square next to the intended victim, draw again.) FRENZY n+ Some Monsters are subject to Frenzy. Each turn, before combat, such a Monster may enter a state of utter rage. Roll 1D6. If the score is equal to or over n, where n is the Monster’s Frenzy Rating given after the Frenzy entry), the Monster gets 2x its normal number of Attacks for the rest of the combat. GANG UP Some Monsters can Gang Up on the Warriors, hoping to use strength in numbers to defeat their opponents. Rather than distributing such Monsters evenly amongst the Warriors when you place them on the board, draw a Warrior counter and place as many of the Monsters as you can around that Warrior. If there are any Monsters left, draw another Warrior counter and place as many Monsters as you can around him. Repeat this process until all the Monsters are placed on the board. Each group of Monsters surrounding a single Warrior makes one single combined attack for each Attack in their profile. For every Monster above one in contact with the Warrior, add +1 to the to hit roll and increase the Strength of the Monsters' attack by +1. Once they have started attacking, Monsters that Gang Up do not switch attacks until either they are all dead or the Warrior is killed. When defending themselves, each Monster in the gang fights individually, with the Weapon Skill indicated on its profile. GREATER DAEMON n
Each Greater Daemon also has a Greater Daemon Terror Value, indicated by the n after the Greater Daemon entry. At the start of a combat that there is a Greater Daemon on the board roll 1D6+(your Warrior's Battle-level) for each Warrior. This is the Warriors Greater Daemon Terror roll. If the total is greater than the Greater Daemon's Terror Value, that Warrior is not afraid of it during this combat and may fight it as normal. If the total is less than or equal to the Greater Daemon’s Terror Value, and wasn't a natural roll of 1, that Warrior is terrified of it during this combat, and fights it at a further -2 on his to hit rolls. If a Wizard fails his Greater Daemon Terror roll any spells he attempts to cast against it have their Casting Number increased by +2 If your warrior’s roll was a natural 1 he is so terrified that he may do nothing at all for 1 turn and may be hit automatically. If it is a magic user, when rolling for spells a Greater Daemon will never fail to cast a spell, reroll any failed results, Note that Greater Daemons normally use the appropriate Chaos Magic Table. GUARDS (monster) On certain occasions Monsters are listed as Guards because, as the term suggests, they are guarding one or more of the other Monsters that they are placed with. They must be placed so that they surround the Monster they are guarding. The Monster table will say what Monsters are guarding what. Once placed, Guards stand their ground and will not move towards the Warriors unless the Monster they are protecting is slain. They may fire any missile weapons they have as normal. If the Monster the Guards are protecting is slain they become so enraged that they get +1 Attack for the rest of the combat. HATE race Some Monsters Hate certain types of Warrior (shown by the race, above). If a Monster Hates a particular Warrior, it will attack him with unbridled ferocity. The Monster gains +1 Attacks when fighting that Warrior, as he slashes and hacks in a mad bloodlust. His attacks are so wild, however, that they are made at -t to hit. In a similar manner, if a Warrior Hates a particular type of Monster he gets +1 Attacks made at -1 to hit against them. HUG n+ Some Monsters have huge arms which they can use to wrap around their foe and squeeze them to death. If, when attacking, a Monster with the Hug ability scores a n+ to hit, instead of causing any damage from that attack, it will wrap its arms around the Warrior. Roll 1D6 and add the Monster’s Strength. The Warrior takes this many Wounds, with no modifiers for Toughness or armour. In addition, if the amount of damage caused was the maximum amount, the Monster succeeds in breaking one of the Warriors arms (randomly determine which one). If the arm is the Warrior’s fighting arm then he cannot attack until it is healed for 1D6 x 50 Gold. If the Warrior has both of his arms broken then he cannot do anything except move until his arms are healed. If the Monster breaks a Warrior’s arm which is already broken the Warrior instantly takes 1D6 unmodified Wounds and it must be healed for 1D6 x 100 Gold.
Some Monsters are able to Hypnotise their foes, holding them immobile while they attack them. Each Monster with this ability has a Hypnotism Rating (n+) that is the number required on a roll of 1D6 for the attack to work. A hypnotised Warrior may fight as normal, but is prevented from trying to escape from pinning (and that includes the Elf!). Roll for Hypnotism before the Monster makes any of his attacks. The Warrior is Hypnotised for 1 complete turn. IGNORE BLOWS n+ Some Monsters are so immense and powerful that they can Ignore Blows which would kill lesser Monsters. Each time a Warrior hits such a Monster in hand-to-hand combat or with a missile weapon roll 1D6. If the score is equal to or higher than its Ignore Blow Rating (n+) the hit is shrugged off and causes no damage at all. IGNORE PAIN n Some Monsters are so large that they can Ignore Pain caused by all but the most powerful blows. Each time a Warrior hits such a Monster in hand-to-hand combat or with a missile weapon subtract its Ignore Pain Rating (n) from the number of Wounds caused (in addition to subtracting its Toughness and any armour it is wearing, if applicable). IMPALE Some Monsters have huge sharp tusks which can tear a Warrior to shreds. If the Monster rolls a 6 To Hit then he impales the Warrior on his tusks, causing an extra 1D3 Wounds with no modifiers for Toughness or armour. This damage is worked out after the original damage has been applied. LARGE MONSTER Some Monsters are so big that they are known by the special term Large Monster. Obvious examples are Dragons and Giants. When placing a Large Monster on the board draw a Warrior counter. That player places the model anywhere on the board, facing any direction and moving other Monsters or warriors to make room as required. Then draw a second Warrior counter to determine who the Monster attacks. Any offensive spells cast against a Large Monster require a number of extra points of Power, equal to the level of the Monster table that generated the Monster, to cast. If a Large Monster manages to kill a Warrior and still has some unused Attacks left over it may choose any other available target and carry on. Because of their size, Large Monsters are never pinned as they can push the Warriors out of the way easily. Type MAGIC n Some Monsters have the ability to use Magic, although the spells available to them depend on their race. Refer to the Magic Booklet for details of Magic spells. Monsters with this ability also have a Magic Rating (n) that indicates how many spells they can cast per turn. Monsters with spell-casting ability do not use Power in the same way as the Wizard. Magic-using Monsters are placed on the board as if they were using missile weapons and, unless otherwise stated, are always placed first. In addition, all magic-using Monsters protect themselves with minor spells that make them harder to hit from a distance. All missile weapon attacks made against magic-using Monsters are at -1 on the to hit roll. MAGIC DISPEL n+ Some Monsters have the ability to Dispel Magic in the surrounding area. This differs from the Magic Resistance special ability in that the Monster can actively interfere with and nullify any spell, not just those cast directly against it. A Monster with this attribute has a Magical Dispel Rating (n+), that is the number required on a roll of 1D6 for the ability to work. The dice roll is made as soon as the targeted spell is cast. If the roll is equal to or greater than the Monster's Magic Dispel Rating, the spell has no effect at all and the Power used to cast it is wasted. MAGIC DRAIN n+ Some Monsters can soak up or Drain Magic from the air around them, rendering any spellcasting impossible while they remain alive. A Monster with this attribute has a Magic Drain Rating (n+), which is the number required on a roll of 1D6 for the ability to work. The effect covers the whole board. Roll once per turn during the Power Phase, immediately after determining the Wizard's Power. If successful, the Wizard loses all his Power for that turn. MAGIC RESISTANCE n+ Some Monsters are naturally able to shrug off the effects of a spell cast against them. Such Monsters are said to have Magic Resistance. A Monster with this ability has a Magic Resistance Rating (n+) that is the number required on a roll of 1D6 for the protection to work. This roll is the Monster's Resistance roll. A separate Resistance roll should be made for each spell cast against the Monster. If the roll succeeds the effects of the spell may be ignored by that particular Monster. If more than one Monster with this ability can be affected by the spell, roll for each Monster individually. Note that Magic Resistance only protects the Monster from spells, not from blows by magical weapons and the like. Note that some Monsters' Magic Resistance is not an innate ability, but is due to an item or charm they wear or carry. Where this is the case, the Magic Resistance entry is suffixed with the item that provides the protection. MAGIC ARMOUR Some Monsters wear Magic Armour that confers special abilities on them, just like the magic armour that the Warriors possess. In the Monsters' case though these hell-forged items are evil and corrupted and will destroy any Warrior who tries to wear or take them. If the Monster's entry indicates that it has magic armour roll 1D6 on the appropriate table for its race or location to determine what it is. A group of the same type of Monsters has the same magic armour, so you should roll for the group as a whole. If no other Magic Armour table is available, roll on the following table. Note that Warriors' weapons that bypass armour only ignore the Toughness bonus the armour confers, not any other magic qualities it may possess. 1
Chaos Armour 2
Armour of Cursed Iron 3
Armour of Doom 4
Arcane Armour of Destruction 5
Venom Armour 6
Armour of Carnage MAGIC ITEM Some Monsters carry Magic Items, just like the magic items that the Warriors possess. In the Monsters' case though these items are cursed and are useless to the Warriors. If the Monster's entry indicates that it carries a magic item roll 1D6 on the appropriate table for its race or location to determine what it is. A group of the same type of Monsters have the same magic items, so you should roll for the group as a whole. If a Monster's entry indicates it gets multiple items, each of the Monsters in the group gets the same set of items, re-rolling duplicate items. . If no other Magic Items table is available, roll on the following table. 1
Ring of Resistance 2
Cloak of Shadows 3
Warpstone Talisman 4
Doomfire Ring 5
Mask of Kadon 6
Collar of Vengeance MAGIC WEAPON Some Monsters bear a Magic Weapon, just like the magic weapons that the Warriors possess. In the Monsters' case though these items are cursed and will destroy any Warrior who tries to use them. If the Monster's entry indicates that it carries a magic weapon roll 1D6 on the appropriate table for its race or location to determine what it is. A group of the same type of Monsters have the same magic weapons, so you should roll for the group as a whole. . If no other Magic Weapon table is available, roll on the following table. 1
Cutting Edge Sword 2
Sword of Distortion 3
Sword of Pain 4
Cursed Blackblade 5
Sword of Insanity 6
Blade of the Damned NEVER PINNED Some Monsters are Never Pinned and may move around in combat as they please. If the Monsters in question are missile troops, each turn they will try to move to a location which allows them to take a shot. Draw a Warrior counter for each Monster to determine which Warrior it targets. If the Monsters are armed with hand-to-hand weapons, draw a Warrior counter each turn for each of them to determine which Warriors they move towards and attack. PARALYSIS In addition to causing normal damage when they attack, some Monsters cause Paralysis. At the end of each turn in which your Warrior is wounded by such a Monster deduct 1 from his Movement. If a Warrior is reduced to 0 Movement he is killed and is removed from play. At the start each turn after that in which your Warrior was first struck roll 1D6 and add his Strength. If the score is 8 or greater the paralysis wears off and his Movement returns to its starting value. If the Warrior survives the combat, once there are no Monsters left on the board the paralysis wears off automatically and his Movement returns to normal. Paralysis can also be cured by a healing spell or healing potion, but not by bandages or provisions, or the like. PARRY n Some Monsters can Parry a Warrior's hand-to-hand attacks so that they don't cause any damage. Each time such a Monster is attacked roll 1D6. If the score is n or above, where n is the Parry Value after the Parry entry the Monster turns the blow and it causes no damage. PETRIFY Some Monsters can Petrify their foes in combat, turning them to stone with a single gaze. Any Warrior that attacks such a Monster is at -2 to his to hit rolls as he is so busy trying to avoid its gaze. In addition, if a Warrior attacking a Monster with a Petrify attack scores a natural 1 on his to hit roll he has been caught by the creature's gaze and starts to turn to stone. He immediately suffers 3D6 Wounds, with no modifiers for Toughness or armour, and for the rest of the adventure he is at -1 Movement. If his Movement is subsequently reduced to 0 by any means while in the dungeon he is immediately turned to stone, beyond all reach of healing magic. All Monsters with a Petrify attack also have natural Magic Resistance 4+ and, if their Resistance Roll is a natural 6, may immediately turn their Petrify attack on the spellcaster that attacked them and inflict the effects given above. PLAGUE Some Monsters carry a horrible, disfiguring disease known simply as the Plague and may infect their opponents with it in combat. If your Warrior is reduced to 0 Wounds by such a Monster his Toughness is permanently reduced by -1 when he is healed to 1 or more Wounds. If a warrior is reduced to 0 Toughness he is killed and removed from play. POISON Some Monsters have Poison attacks. If a Warrior is reduced to 0 Wounds by a Poison attack his Strength is permanently reduced by -1 when he is healed to 1 or more Wounds. If a Warrior is reduced to 0 Strength he is killed and removed from play. PROTECTION RING (+n T) Some Monsters wear magical rings that give them an extra +n Toughness, where n is the number in the brackets following the Protection Ring entry. REGENERATE mDn Some Monsters can Regenerate Wounds while they remain alive, making them much harder to kill. Each Monster with this ability has a Regeneration Rating (m) that is the number of Dn Wounds that the Monster regains at the end of each turn. eg. If a Monster has Regenerate 1D6 he regains 1D6 Wounds at the end of each turn. A Monster cannot regenerate if it is reduced to 0 Wounds or fewer and can never have more Wounds than it started with (except Vampires). RIDES monster Many Monsters ride trained creatures into battle. When a mounted Monster attacks, both rider and mount may attack in the Monsters’ Phase. Rider and mount must attack the same Warrior. A Warrior can’t attack the rider unless its mount is dead unless attacking with a missile weapon or spells. When the mount has been killed, the rider will continue to fight on foot. If a Warrior kills a mount with one blow, he gets a death-blow as normal. However, the death-blow cuts into the rider first. If the death-blow kills the rider as well, it moves onto the next target. STING (damage) Some Monsters may Sting their opponents, but only if two consecutive Attacks hit in a single turn. The sting does the damage indicated in the brackets after the Sting entry. Sting Attacks are also subject to the rules for Poison. A Monster can only ever make 1 Sting Attack per turn. TATTOOS n+ Some Monsters are painted with complicated protective Tattoos that act like armour. Whether this is due to some arcane power inherent in the tattoos, or simply the strength of belief on the wearer's part, they do seem to work. Each time a Monster wearing tattoos is hit roll 1D6. If the score is n or more, where n is the number after the Tattoos entry, the blow has no effect. TERROR n Some Monsters cause Terror. This is similar to Fear, only much, much worse. Each Monster that causes Terror has a Terror Value, indicated by the n after the Terror entry. When an event occurs that generates Monsters that cause Terror, roll 1D6+(your Warrior's Battle-level) for each Warrior as soon as the Monsters are placed on the board. This is the Warrior's Terror roll. If the total is greater than the Monsters’ Terror Value, that Warrior is not afraid of them during this combat and may fight them as normal. If the total is less than or equal to the Monsters' Terror Value, that Warrior is terrified of them during this combat, and fights them at -2 on his to hit rolls. If a Wizard fails his Terror roll any spells he attempts to cast against that Monster have their Casting Numbers increased by +2. Each time the Warriors meet a particular type of Monster that causes Terror they must make a Terror roll, as the effect of the roll, whether good or bad, applies only to that type of Monster during this one combat. THROW item (STR n) Some Monsters are armed with weapons that they can Throw, such as spears. As soon as such Monsters are placed on the board, before the Warriors can do anything they throw these weapons in a special, single attack. You need to roll against the Monster's Ballistic Skill to see if they hit, just as with any other missile weapon. The thrown weapon has Strength n, where n is the value in the brackets after the Throw entry. The weapon therefore causes (the Monster's damage dice)+n Wounds modified for the target's Toughness and armour, according to the normal rules for missile weapons. After throwing their special weapons these Monsters attack in hand-to-hand combat in the Monsters' Phase as normal. WEB
