Lizardmen

From their jungle-continent of Lustria, the Lizardmen look outwards and see a world gone awry. As the ultimate enemies of the Dark Gods and the true inheritors of the planet, the Lizardmen have determined their only recourse is to go to war to set things right. It is their sacred duty to fulfil the enigmatic plans of the Old Ones, and any who stand in their way can expect no mercy. Heed the drums and the reptilian roars of the jungle and join the gathering Lizardmen armies as they march forth for battle. A Lizardmen host deployed for battle is a formidable sight, a striking battle force filled with colour and variety. A screen of nimble skirmishers that harass the enemy with blowpipe and javelin spreads out first, followed by rank after rank of merciless Saurus warriors, and their war leaders are battle-scarred veterans who will fight to the end. Saurus riding the slow-witted yet powerful Cold Ones form devastatingly powerful cavalry regiments. They are guided by the mightiest of mages, the Slann Mage-Priests, who unleash blasts of sorcerous energy the likes of which few other wizards can equal. Terrifying creatures such as the vicious, fire-breathing Salamanders, the towering Kroxigor and the gargantuan Stegadons fight alongside the Lizardmen. In the air above winged beasts screech, while out of the jungles stomp hulking reptilian monsters. They are pitiless killers, savage creatures of an elder age. Yet the Lizardmen do not war for plunder or territory, but instead fight for a higher cause – a world order laid out ages ago by their long-lost cosmic masters.

The Sunburst Standard of Hexoatl is a Battle Standard – if your army includes Lord Mazdamundi, he must be your army's Battle Standard Bearer. This does not prevent Lord Mazdamundi from also being your army's General. In addition, once per game, at the beginning of any enemy Shooting phase, Lord Mazdamundi can release the power of the Sunburst Standard. If he does so, enemy models that target Mazdamundi, or any other friendly unit within 12", with a shooting attack, suffer a -1 To Hit penalty. This effect lasts until the end of the turn.

Sunburst Standard of Hexoatl

One use only. Mazdamundi can declare that he is chewing the grubs at the start of his Magic phase. He then gains +D3 Power dice that phase.

The Itxi Grubs

Attacks made with the Cobra Mace have the Always Strikes First and Poisoned Attacks special rules. At the start of every Close Combat phase, all enemy models in base contact with Lord Mazdamundi must reveal their magic items. If Lord Mazdamundi scores one or more hits against a model that has any magic items, roll a D6; on a 6, all of that model's magic items are immediately destroyed and cannot be used further in this game.

Cobra Mace of Mazdamundi

The Slann Mage-Priest re-rolls its first failed dispel attempt in each Magic phase.

Becalming Cogitation

The Slann Mage-Priest rolls two additional dice whenever he attempts to channel power or dispel dice.

Harmonic Convergence

When rolling on the Miscast table, the Slann Mage-Priest can choose to subtract one from the result (to a minimum of 2), or add one to the result (to a maximum of 12), instead of accepting the original result.

Soul of Stone

If this model is alive at the end of any friendly Magic phase, roll a number of D6 equal to the difference between the Slann Mage-Priest's starting number of Wounds and its current number of Wounds. For each roll of a 6, the Slann Mage-Priest immediately recovers a single Wound lost earlier in the battle.

Transcendent Healing

The Lore of Fire Lore

The Lore of Fire has its basis in powerful ranged attack spells, designed to wreak massive damage on your foes. If you see your Wizards as essentially 'magical artillery' then the Lore of Fire is probably the one for you. 

The Lore of Fire

The Lore of Metal Lore

The Lore of Metal is based around the manipulation and transformation of metals. As you might expect, enemies that rely heavily on armour should beware the Lore of Metal, as its spells either ignore armour, or turn it against its wearer with horrendous consequences. 

The Lore of Metal

The Lore of Beasts Lore

The Lore of Beasts is dominated by augmentative spells that grant your models extra capabilities. It's best chosen if your army intends to win its battles in close combat, as a few timely spells from the Lore of Beasts can transform mediocre troops into fearsome battle winners. 

The Lore of Beasts

The Lore of Life Lore

The Lore of Life unleashes the power of the natural world. It is primarily a defensive lore, with an array of spells that heal your troops and augment their resilience. 

The Lore of Life

The Lore of Light Lore

The Lore of Light can broadly be described as protective magic, granting defensive bonuses to your troops. It also contains a few 'exorcism' spells that can banish Undead and Daemonic creatures. 

The Lore of Light

The Lore of Heavens Lore

The Lore of Heavens manipulates the forces of the sky, harnessing destructive weather or drawing upon the predictive power of astrology to alter probabilities. 

The Lore of Heavens

The Lore of Shadow Lore

The Lore of Shadow is a force of illusion and deception, relying chiefly on phantasmal attacks to sap the enemy's will (or ability) to fight. 

The Lore of Shadow

The Lore of Death Lore

The Lore of Death has a formidable battery of short-ranged damage spells that specialise in zapping enemy characters. Death magic is more destructive even than Fire magic, but the Wizard has to be pretty close to their foe (perhaps dangerously close) to use the Lore of Death to its full, fearsome potential.

Lord Mazdamundi

Ruination of Cities is a direct damage spell with a range of 18". The target unit suffers 2D6 Strength 5 hits as the ground opens and swallows them. A unit that suffers any wounds from this spell will have all its movement rate halved (rounding up) in its next Movement phase as its members pick themselves up and drag comrades out of cracks in the earth. Units inside a building take 3D6 Strength 5 hits as walls and masonry collapse upon them. Flying models and other units that ignore terrain effects are unaffected by this spell.

Monster

Special Rules Monsters are subject to the following special rules: Stomp, Swiftstride, Terror Split Profile  Ridden monsters follow all the Split Profile rules for Cavalry. The riders can fire in 360 degrees around them, rather than only firing at targets within their front arc. This only applies to any missile weapons carried by the crew themselves, any missile weapons mounted on the monster itself can only fire in the model's forward arc as normal.    Character Mount Some characters can ride monsters. If a character has a ridden monster, the whole model is treated as having the troop type monster and thus follows all the rules for both characters and monster models including the Split Profile rules above. A character on a ridden monster cannot join other units. Unit Strength Monsters have a Unit Strength equal to their starting number of Wounds. Ridden Monsters add the number of riders to their Unit Strength. Line of Sight Monsters have a Line of Sight value of 5. Base Size  Monsters have an approved base size of 50x50mm, 50x75mm, 50x100mm, 100x150mm.

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.
