Beastmen

From out of the dark and twisted forests of the Old World come the Cloven Ones, uncounted hordes of braying creatures of horn, hoof, muscle and hate. The Beastmen are the true Children of Chaos. Grotesque hybrids of fierce animal and primitive human, these horned and stinking warrior-beasts infest the blighted forests that cover the Old World. Their savage tribes explode from the depths of the haunted woods to wage bitter war against the civilised races. So profound is the Beastmen's hatred of order and reason that they seek to drag the world kicking and screaming into a barbaric and primal age. A fully arrayed Beastman army is a splendid spectacle. It is quite intimidating for any opponent to face across the tabletop, for not only is it numerous but it includes lots of terrifying monsters from the deep woods. Beastmen units can also attack from ambush, surrounding the enemy army and herding it towards the storm of jagged blades, sharpened horns and gouging tusks that forms the main Beastman battleline.

The Mansmasher gives Ghorros the Multiple Wounds (D3) special rule.

The Skull gives Ghorros Magic Resistance (2). However, such is their desire to avenge the Unicorn Lord that all units in Warhammer: Wood Elves have the Hatred special rule against Ghorros and his unit.

Cavalry

Split Profile Although a cavalry model has two sets of characteristics, one for the rider and one for the mount, it is treated in all respects as a single model – the rider cannot dismount. When moving, the cavalry model always uses the Movement characteristic of the mount, and never that of the rider. The rider and mount use their own Weapon Skill, Strength, Initiative and Attacks characteristics when they attack. Each can attack any opponent that the cavalry model is in base contact with. We assume the rider to be in complete control of their mount, so the mount's Leadership is never used, unless a spell or special rule states otherwise. If the rider has a missile weapon, they always use their own Ballistic Skill, rather than that of their mount. When attacking a Cavalry model, always use the highest Weapon Skill, Toughness and Wounds value from either the rider or the mount. If the rider and the mount both have armour saves or ward saves these may be combined as normal. Any equipment or magic items the model might otherwise have only apply to the rider, not the mount (unless specified). In some cases, you may find Cavalry models that do not have a split profile. In this case, treat the model as single entity that may make up to two supporting attacks. The model also counts as mounted for the purpose of using certain weapons, as described in the Weapons and Armour chapter, but counts as a model on foot for the purposes of using Parry. Ranks A unit of Cavalry is required to be five or more models wide in order to be able to gain rank bonus. Supporting Attacks A cavalry model can make one supporting attack from the rider, and one from the mount. Cavalry without a split profile can make up to two supporting attacks. Special Rules Cavalry are subject to the following special rules: Impact Hits (1), Swiftstride. Note that the Impact Hits are resolved at the Strength of the mount, not the rider. Any special rules listed for Cavalry units only apply to rider, unless they specifically mention the mount. There are, however, a few exceptions. If either the rider or the mount has one of the following special rules, then the whole model has it: Always Strikes Last Ambushers Berserk Rage (see Frenzy) Ethereal Fast Cavalry Fear Fly Immunity (*) Scouts Stubborn Stupidity Terror Vanguard  Terrain Cavalry have to take Dangerous Terrain tests if they move march, charge, flee or pursue over anything other than open ground or hills – Battlefield Terrain for more details.  Unit Strength Cavalry have a Unit Strength of 2. Line of Sight Cavalry have a Line of Sight value of 2. Base Size  Cavalry have an approved base size of 20x20mm, 25x25mm, 25x50mm, 40x40mm and 50x50mm.

Special Character

The Warhammer Army books each include the rules for several Special Characters within their pages. They are famous, named war leaders and mighty mages, tales of whose legendary (or nefarious) deeds have travelled far and wide, such as the Emperor Karl Franz, Grom the Paunch of Misty Mountain, the infamous Vampire Lord Vlad von Carstein and many more besides. Special Characters are exceptional individuals but, more importantly for our army selection purposes, they are unique – each can be included in an army only once.
