CAMPAIGN RULES

VERSION 1.3.

These rules govern playing a series of linked games with your friends. A minimum number of 2
players is required to complete a Campaign, but the more players you can muster, the better!
You can also play games against players who are not part of the Campaign. Rules on how to do
this are explained below.

Beginning the Campaign

At the beginning of a Campaign, your Warband's Threshold Value is 700 ducats. This is the
maximum combined ducat value of models, items, upgrades, and so on that you can field in a
single battle. It will increase with each battle you fight during your Campaign. You begin with an
equal amount of ducats in your Warband's Paychest. This is a reserve of wealth that you will
use to recruit and arm your models. Whenever you make a purchase, you must deduct the cost
from your Paychest and you must have enough to cover the entire cost.

Some Warbands begin Campaigns with a higher or lower Threshold Value and Paychest. Such
Warbands will outline their unique rules explicitly in their sections.

Next, select the Patron for your Warband. See the Section Patrons for details below.

PATRONS
Select a Patron for your Warband from the list below. The choice of Patron determines which
Skill you may select if you roll a Patron Skill on any of the Skill Tables above when your ELITE
model gains an Advancement (see Experience and Advancement below)t. One model cannot
have duplicates of the same Patron Skill.

Warrior Saint
Trench Pilgrims and New Antioch Only
Your patron is a mighty saint of soldiers and warriors such as Saint George the Dragonslayer,
Saint John the Warrior, Saint Joan of Arc, or even Archangel Saint Michael himself. Such
Patrons offer great power in personal combat and divine protection on the battlefield.

This type of Patron allows you to select one of the following when a Patron Skill rolled up on
your Skill Chart:

● Blessings of the Warrior Saint: This model starts each battle with D3 BLESSINGS DICE.
● Endure the Suffering: The model has 1 additional SCAR in their profile.
 ● Dragonslayer: When this model rolls on the Injury Chart in melee against an enemy that
is Down, you don't have to roll one of the Injury Dice but can set it as 6 and then roll the
rest of the dice pool.
● David and Goliath: When this model makes a Melee Attack ACTION against an enemy
model on a 40mm or larger base, they roll 3d6 to hit instead of 2d6, totalling the sum.
● On your Knees!: Enemy models in Melee Combat with this model cannot automatically
Stand at the start of their Activation.
● Warrior’s Prayer: As a RISKY ACTION, this model causes FEAR until the end of its
Activation and may remove a BLOOD MARKER if it has any.

Learned Saint
Trench Pilgrims and New Antioch Only
Your Patron is a great teacher saint such as St. Patrick, St. Thomas Aquinas or St. Methodius.
Followers of such Saint emphasise planning, sciences, strategy and organisational skills.

This type of Patron allows you to select one of the following when a Patron Skill rolled up on
your Skill Chart:

● Walk with God: This model can pick any Skill from any Skill Chart allowed to it,
including any Exploration Skill.
● Knowledge of Sciences: You can increase a LIMIT of any Weapon, piece of Equipment
or Armour by 1.
● Favoured by God: At the end of each battle, your Warband gains an additional Glory
Point.
● Pennies from Heaven: At the end of each battle, if this model was fielded, your
Warband gains an additional D6x5 ducats.
● Organisational skills: You can increase the number of models that are normally limited
(such as Shocktroopers) by 1. This does not include ELITE Models.
● Healing Arts: When this model rolls on the Serious Injuries Chart, it may re-roll. The
second result stands.

Infernal Noble
Heretic Legion & The Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent Only
Your Patron is one of the Fallen, a mighty devil noble such as Baal, Balam, Zepar, Astaroth or
Gusion. Such Patrons bestow magical powers, reward evil deeds and enhance the power of
sins.

This type of Patron allows you to select one of the following when a Patron Skill rolled up on
your Skill Chart:

● Blessed Murder: Each time this model takes an enemy Out of Action via any ACTION it
takes, the model gains 1 BLESSINGS DICE.
 ● Sadistic: You gain +1 BONUS DICE for all Injury rolls and to Hit Rolls against opponents
that are Down.
● Hellfire: The model can take a RISKY ACTION with -1 DICE. Select a friendly model within
18” of the caster that the caster can see. Draw a straight line between the models which
travels along the ground. Every model in the way spontaneously bursts into flames from
Hell. Roll on the Injury Chart for each model including the friendly model at the end. The
attack has the Keyword FIRE.
● 30 Pieces of Silver: At the end of each battle, if this model was fielded, your Warband
gains an additional D6x5 ducats.
● Blood Sacrifice: With a successful ACTION, this model can transfer one of its BLOOD
MARKERS to any friendly model within 6”.
● Lash of Acheron: With a successful RISKY ACTION you can select any model within 6”.
Roll on the Injury chart for that model immediately. This attack ignores Armour.

Sublime Gate
Iron Sultanate Only
Your patron is one of the high-ranking nobles of the Sultanate: an Emir, Pasha, Vizier or even
the Sultan himself.

This type of Patron allows you to select one of the following when a Patron Skill rolled up on
your Skill Chart:

● Sword of Allah: Select any skill you want from the Melee & Strength Skills.
● Exotic Wares: This model may buy at the given cost any 1 Weapon or Armour from the
New Antioch Armoury. No other model in the Warband may use this item.
● Janissary Training: During Activations that this model has Charged, it gains +1 Dice to
hit with Melee Attacks. Additionally, this model ignores any penalties for using an
Off-Hand weapon.
● Güreş: This model ignores the penalties to ACTION rolls from being Down. Additionally,
this model gains +1 DICE to hit and injure Down enemy models with Melee Attacks.
● Rightfully Guided: At the beginning of the battle, select any one ACTION (aside from a
Charge or a standard Melee/Ranged Attacks) by any enemy model. This ACTION cannot
target, affect or damage the Rightfully Guided model in any way.
● Sultan’s Favour: You can increase the number of models that are normally limited (such
as Janissaries) by 1. This does not include ELITE Models.

The Order of the Fly

Black Grail Only
Your patron is a great infernal noble in the Order of the Fly, such as Enlil, Prince Vassago or
even Beelzebub himself, the Lord of the Flies. Through you, these putrid and mighty devils bring
a tidal wave of corruption upon the mortal world.
This type of Patron allows you to select one of the following when a Patron Skill rolled up on
your Skill Chart:

● Cockroach Vitality: BLOOD MARKERS cannot be used to penalise the Melee or Ranged
Attacks of this model, though otherwise they can be used as normal.
● Eyes of the Fly: This model ignores the penalties associated with Cover and Long
Range.
● Wings of the Fly: If this model has an Infantry Movement characteristic, it gains a Fly
Movement characteristic with the same value.
● Grail Plague: At the start of each battle, select one enemy model without the Keyword
BLACK GRAIL. This model starts the game with one INFECTION MARKER.
● Deceit of Beelzebub: As a RISKY ACTION, this model can change places with another
model within 8”. Both models are removed from the battlefield and then replaced
immediately as possible to the other’s location.
● Knight of the Flies: Ranged Attacks against this model suffer -1 DICE to hit.

Playing a Campaign Game

To start the campaign, the two players select one of the scenarios to fight (see the Scenarios on
page xx). At the end of each game the players work out how much experience their ELITE
warriors have earned and how much loot the warband has collected before returning to its
barracks.

Experience is expressed as Experience points which ELITE models receive for surviving each
game. This is covered later in the Experience section. When an ELITE warrior has sufficient
Experience points they receive a Skill. Normal troopers taking part in a Campaign will also have
a chance of becoming an ELITE.

You can recruit more warriors or buy new weapons from traders with gold ducats or Glory Points
you have earned. All this is explained in the Income and Trading sections later in this book.
Selecting a Scenario
When determining which Scenario you wish to play, note how many battles you have played in
the Campaign thus far, and roll on the appropriate table below. Neither player should play the
same scenario twice in a row. If this happens, re-roll until you get a new one.

If one player has played more Battles than the other, then the player with a higher number of
battles shows the Chart you use. The player with the lower battle count determines who is the
Attacker and who is the Defender in each scenario. Otherwise roll a dice to determine who is
attacking and who is defending.

See the Scenarios section for details on each battle.

Early Campaign (Battles 1 to 3)

Roll D6 to determine which Scenario to play:
1 Skirmish
2 Scouting Parties
3 Fallen Idols
4 Vanguard
5 Storming the Shores
6 Battle Trophies

Mid-Campaign (Battles 4-9)

Roll D6 to determine which Scenario to play:
1 Hunt for Heroes
2 Relic Hunt
3 Barbed Wire
4 Linebreaker
5 Claim the No Man’s Land
6 Armoured Train

Endgame (Battles 9-11)

Roll D6 to determine which Scenario to play:
1 Trench Warfare
2 Over the Top
3 Opposed River Crossing
4 Let the Sleeping Beasts Lie
5 Poison Gas
6 Fields of Glory

Final Battle (Battle 12)

Play one of the Final Battles Scenarios such as the Great War.
Injuries and Casualties
After each Battle, for each model that was taken Out of Action, determine what Injuries they
sustained, if ELITE, or whether or not they died from their wounds, if not ELITE.. See the rules
for Injuries below.

Experience and Skill Advancements

After each Battle, determine the amount of Experience points your ELITE troops gain, and roll for
their new Skill Advancements. Also determine whether any of your standard Troops are
promoted into ELITE Status. See the rules for Experience below.

Reinforcement Threshold Value

As you play the campaign, the words of your deeds on the battlefield spreads and attracts the
attention of your superiors who will allocate more troops and resources at your disposal within
their organisation, and make greater reinforcements available to you. This is represented by
Warband Threshold Value. Warbands starting value is indicated in the Warband list, and is
typically 700 Gold Ducats. This value grows during the Campaign as indicated below (additions
to the Value are cumulative).

Max Field Strength

The number of models you can field in a single battle is limited as listed in the table below. This
maximum increases during the campaign, so in the first battle the maximum number of models
you can field is 10, while it increases to 11 for the second battle.

Note that the Warband can be bigger than this, you just cannot field more models in battle than
indicated in the table below. Also, some Scenarios limit the number of models below your Max
Field Strength. In such cases, follow the Scenario’s instructions.
 BATTLE NO: THRESHOLD VALUE MAX FIELD STRENGTH
1 700 10

2 800 11

3 900 12

4 1000 13

5 1100 14

6 1200 15

7 1300 16

8 1400 17

9 1500 18

10 1600 19

11 1700 20

12 1800 22

Note that when your Threshold value raises, you are not automatically granted any additional
troops or equipment, you must either call for Reinforcements (see below), or spend your own
stored resources to hire more troops.

Reinforcements
In Trench Crusade all Warbands are part of one of great military organisations or under the
guidance of a powerful patron, and periodically receive reinforcements to offset their combat
losses. Thus after each battle you can build up your force back to the current Warband
Threshold Value in Gold Ducats if the Warband Value has fallen under this threshold. When you
do this, you must first do the following:

● Forego Exploration & Looting Phase completely. Your Warband falls back and requests
Reinforcements, missing the opportunity to Explore and Loot.
● Give up/Sell all Weapons, Armour and Equipment that is not assigned to any of your
models. Remember to adhere to the limits of Equipment per model!
● Empty your Warband treasury of all ducats
 ● Once you’ve done this, calculate the current value of your warband in ducats
● You may now buy new troops, weapons, armour and equipment up to the Warband
Threshold Value (see above). Do not keep any leftover ducats.

Disbanding a Warband
You may disband your old warband at the end of any game and start again with a new one. All
the warriors in the original warband and any equipment and other benefits they acquired are
lost. You can NOT dismiss any warrior from your warband. Your Patrons expect you to use them
to the last!

Models Killed in Action

When a model is killed all the weapons, armour and equipment are lost in the ruinous tumult of
the battlefield. It is not possible to reallocate fallen warriors’ weapons or equipment once they
die.

Campaign Stages
Campaigns are divided into 3 Stages: Early, Mid, and Endgame. You play a set number of
games in each of these stages before moving on to the next. Once a player has played 11
Battles in total they can play no more until all the other players have played 11 games as well.

At this stage all the players play a game against another player who has also played 11 games.
Once all the players have played the Final Battle Scenario, you can determine who has won the
Campaign as explained below.

Late Joiners to Campaign

Players often want to join a Campaign in progress. This is fine, and new forces are purchased
with the currentWarband Reinforced Threshold of the campaign.

Winning the Campaign

Each Scenario lists the number of Victory Points the players may gain from it. At the end of the
Campaign, tally the points together to see your ranking on the Campaign leaderboard.
Post-Battle Sequence Summary (Put this in a box)
After each battle, all players who took part go through the following set of steps to prepare your
Warband for the future battles.

1 Injuries. Determine the extent of injuries for each warrior who is Out of Action at the end of
the game. Mark any Scars your ELITES suffer. See Injuries section for details.

2 Experience & Advancement Heroes and gain experience for surviving battles. See the
Experience & Advancement section for details.

3 Increase the Warband Threshold Value. Increase the Threshold value of your Warband
(See the rules above).

4 Request Reinforcements. You may Replenish your Warband’s losses until it’s total value
is up to the highest current Warband Threshold value if you wish. You must first empty the
Warband treasury by giving up all the ducats and stored gear you have first, and you must skip
the Exploration step above.

5 Looting & Exploration. Roll to see what your Warband discovers in the area they are
currently occupying. See Exploration section for details.

6 Hire new recruits. New recruits can be acquired from your Warband List and can be
recruited and equipped from your Warbands Equipment list.

7 Trade. Buy items allowed for your Warband. See your Warband Equipment list for the
available items, and Trading section to see what other items might be offered to you. You may
also sell any surplus Weapons, Armour and Equipment, and you receive half of their base value
from the merchants. See Trading rules for details.

8 Use Glory Points. Use your Glory to attract Mercenaries, acquiring special equipment and
other benefits. See the rules for Glory for details.

9 Reallocate equipment. Swap equipment between models as desired (provided they are
eligible to use it). You can take any armour, weapons and equipment from the Warband
Paychest and give them to any eligible models.

10 Update Warband Roster Update. Update your Warband Roster, including the total cost
of the Warband (a total cost in Ducats of all your models and their weapons, armour and
equipment). You are now ready for the next battle!
INJURIES AND BATTLE SCARS
Whenever one of your ELITE models is taken Out of Action during a Battle, you will have to roll
D66 for each such model after the battle ends. Consult the Injury Chart table below to see what
happened to your character. Unless rules state otherwise, each Injury causes a Battle Scar, so
mark this on your Warband roster sheet. You will notice that there are only two Battle Scars slots
for your ELITE warriors. This means that if you sustain a third Battle Scar, this model dies and can
no longer be used in your Campaign. If the model has an ability that allows their revival (such as
the Trench Pilgrim), they use it. When they return to life, they ignore the last Battle Scar that
killed them. Otherwise, their profile remains the same.

For non-ELITE models that went Out of Action during a battle, simply roll D6 for each model: on a
result 1-2, they are dead or irrevocably wounded, and you must remove them from your roster.
On a roll of 3+, they survive the battle and fight on as normal.

Whatever reason one of your soldiers die, their equipment is lost unless otherwise noted in the
rules.

You can only have one of each type of Battle Scar or Skill per ELITE, unless explicitly stated in its
entry. If a model rolls a result that would cause it to gain a Battle Scar that it cannot gain again,
re-roll on the chart until a viable result is achieved.

ELITES INJURY CHART

Roll D66
11 Dead The wound proved to be fatal. The character is permanently lost even if
this was not the third Battle Scar it sustans.

12 Captured The enemy captures the Character. Players can negotiate a ransom
price in Gold for the release of the character. As long as this is not
paid, the Character remains in the hands of the opposing player.
Otherwise, treat this result as Full Recovery. The Equipment of the
Character is lost in either case.

13 Severe Nerve All ACTIONS this model takes (including Melee and Ranged attacks) are
Damage
RISKY ACTIONS.

14 Hand Wound The character suffers -1 DICE for all of its Melee Attack ACTIONS.
15 Lost an eye The character suffers -1 DICE for all of its Range Attack ACTIONS.
Suffering 2 such injuries blinds the model and it has to retire from the
campaign. Sniper Priest is immune to this Injury and suffers no Scar.

16 Chest Wound All Injury rolls against this character are resolved with +1 DICE.

21 Insomniac This character must always be deployed as the first model on your side
in any battle it takes part in. It cannot use the Keyword INFILTRATOR if it
has it.

22 Head wound This model loses the Keyword ELITE. It can regain it in the future as
normal via promotion, representing recovery.

23 Shell-shocked Roll D6 on any Battle this model is taking part in. On a roll of 1-2, it
cannot take part in the Battle.

24 Dark Memory Mark down the opposing Warband type that caused this Injury. If you
play the same scenario again, the model FEARS all enemy models when
playing against the same type of Warband, including all Ranged and
Melee Attacks.

25 Paranoid This model cannot be deployed within 8” of a friendly model. Friendly

models can be deployed as normal once this model is deployed.

26 Lost Arm The model has 1 less hand, which limits the types of
weapons/equipment it can use.

31 Leg Wound The model’s Movement characteristic is reduced by 2” and it suffers -1

DICE to Dash.
32 Expensive Character’s wounds require constant treatment. To deploy this model,
treatment you must deduct 10 ducats from your Paychest. This payment does not
count towards your Warband’s Threshold Value.

33 Possessed While unconscious, the model was possessed by a restless spirit of a

dead soldier. If possible, this model must begin its Activation with a
Dash and this Dash must cover a distance of at least 3” in a single
direction. If this model is Down at the start of its Activation, it must
instead first Stand and then attempt to Dash. If this model begins its
Activation in Melee Combat, it may ignore these restrictions during that
Activation.

34 Muscle damage This model cannot carry HEAVY weapons.

35 Minor Wound This model cannot be fielded during the next battle.

36-62 Full The model has survived the battle with no ill effects. No Battle Scar is
Recovery suffered.

This model ignores the effects of the Keyword FEAR. No Battle Scar is
63 Hardened
suffered.

This model gains D3 Experience Points. No Battle Scar is suffered.

64 Bitter Lessons

This model loses all weapons, armour and equipment it had. No Battle
65 Robbed Scar is suffered.

Due to a grudge, his model gains +1 DICE for all Melee attack ACTIONS
66 Facial Scar
against all enemies with the same Faction Keyword that took this
character Out of Action. No Battle Scar is suffered.
EXPERIENCE AND ADVANCEMENT
As your warriors fight battles, they will quickly become hardened veterans and their skills
improve, forged in the crucible of the Great War. An ELITE model that took part in a battle and
survived (even if they were Taken Out of Action) will gain 1 Experience Point. Mark this on your
Roster Sheet. In addition, if any ELITE model performs at least one Glorious Deed, they gain
another Experience Point. On your Roster Sheet, check the Experience boxes from left to right:
when you reach a box with bold red outline, you can make a Skill Advancement Roll:

Skill Advancement Rolls

● Pick 2 of the following 4 Charts below (Melee & Strength Skills, Ranged Skills, Stealth &
Speed Skills or Wildcard Skills)
● Roll 2D6 once for each chart to see what Skills you can choose from
● If you already have any Skill indicated by the roll(s), choose the next lowest number on
the table that has a skill you don’t yet have.
○ If there are no such skills left, choose the next highest number on the table that
has a skill you don’t yet have.
● Select which of the two Skills generated you want the model to acquire and add it to your
Warband roster
When a Patron Skill is rolled, you can select any one of the Patron Skills offered by the Patron
you have selected (see section on Patrons below).

Non-Elite Promotions
● Gather your Promotion Dice Pool. Your pool starts with 1 die in it. Add 1 die if you won
the battle. Add 1 die for each Glorious Deed that your Warband completed this battle.
Some abilities might grant you additional Promotion Dice.
● Distribute your Promotion Dice. Assign up to 2 Promotion Dice to each Non-ELITE
model in your army that is eligible for promotion. If every such model has been assigned
2 Promotion Dice and you have Promotion Dice remaining, you may assign dice so that
no model has more than two or more dice than another.
● Roll your Promotion Dice. In any order you wish, select a Promotion Die and roll it. If it
shows a result of 6, that model is promoted. That model gains the Keyword ELITE, it is
moved to the ELITE section of your Warband's roster, and it begins with 0 Experience
Points. Only one model can be promoted in this way per post-battle sequence and, once
a model is promoted in this way, end this process.
● Maximum Elites. Your Warband can only have a maximum of 6 ELITES. If you are at
maximum, you do not roll for Promotions until your Warband has less than 6 ELITES.
UNITS WHICH CANNOT BE PROMOTED (Put in a Box)
All of the models in your Warband cannot necessarily be Promoted. This could be due to their
inherent limitations, being machines, lack of access to training and/or necessary equipment and
so on.

The following units in each of the Warband cannot be promoted into ELITE status.

List can be promoted and can claim ELITE status.
LIMITED POTENTIAL (Put in a Box)
Some models have a limited capacity to gain Experience and learn new skills. They might be
too bestial, have limited in intelligence or have their utmost potential might be supernaturally
limited. Such units can only gain 3 Skill Advancements (ie. 7 Experience Points).

Determine the number of Exploration Dice each player has

Roll The Exploration Dice
Modify the Exploration Dice results with Exploration Skills & Items
Consult the Exploration Table to see if you found a Location
Collect Loot worth total combined result of dice rolled X10 ducats

Determine the number of Exploration Dice

After the Battle, both Players are allocated Exploration Dice as shown below. In addition, the
Winner of the Battle can re-roll any 1 of the Exploration Dice during the Exploration

Number of Battles Fought Number of Exploration Dice

1-2 3 Exploration Dice
3-5 4 Exploration Dice
6-9 5 Exploration Dice
10+ 6 Exploration Dice
Winner Re-roll any 1 dice

Roll the Exploration Dice

Once the players have determined the number of Exploration Dice, each rolls their dice and
consults the result by adding the numbers together to get your Exploration Score. For example,
if a player rolls three Exploration Dice and the results are 3, 5, and 6, the combined Exploration
Score is 14.

Modify the Exploration Dice

Next, the players can modify the Exploration Dice results with any items, Exploration Skills, Ally
abilities and other bonuses in order to improve their chances of finding some rare elusive
location and claiming it for your Warband.

Consult the Exploration Location Table

After you have modified the Exploration roll result, consult the appropriate Exploration Table to
see if you have found something of special interest during your exploration. You have to Match
the number on the Table exactly with your dice -rolling too high or too low means you did not
find the location.

Note that each player can find any of the Locations only once during the Campaign, though it is
completely legal for two different players to discover the same Location during the same
Campaign. We encourage players to maintain a War Journal that tracks the Locations they have
found during the Campaign.
To find out which Exploration Table you should use, consult the following Chart:

Number of Battles Fought Possible Locations

1-3 Common Exploration Location Table
3-5 Common or Rare Exploration Location Table
6-9 Rare Exploration Location Table
10+ Legendary Exploration Location Table

Looting, foraging, scavenging and pillaging

Whether you found an Exploration Location or not, the player can now collect loot from the
battlefield by scavenging, foraging, selling broken weapons and armour to traders, receiving the
regular pay from their Patron, hunting, and so on.

The value of the Loot you find is determined simply by the Exploration Score X10 in ducats. So
if your Exploration Score was 12, you find 120 ducats from Looting. Add this to your Warband’s
Paychest.

cut through even the infernal Tartarus Armour.

NAME Type Range Modifiers Keywords

Kilij 1-handed Melee +1 to Injuries CRITICAL

Rules: When using this weapon roll injuries with +1 to all Injury Rolls (ie. roll of 7 on Injury Chart
becomes 8).
SULTANATE only, ELITE only. LIMIT: 2

Rocket-Propelled Grenade 2 Glory

These shoulder-fired weapons launch a rocket with an explosive warhead. They are a recent
invention, and thus expensive and difficult to manufacture. Consequently, they are only available
in limited numbers and even then only the most famous warbands will be equipped with these
deadly armour-piercing weapons.

NAME Type Range Modifiers Keywords

RPG 2-handed 36” +1D Injury, ignore armour CONSUMABLE

Rules: Add +1 DICE to all Injury rolls and ignore armour. If this attack hits its target, but does not
take it Out of Action, the target is pushed 1d6” directly away from the attacker, stopping if they

space that puts it closest to the wielder. This typically ends with the target and the wielder in
base contact and in Melee Combat. This movement can place the target in Melee Combat with
multiple enemy models. Additionally, no enemy models may Retreat when in Melee Combat with
the wielder.
HERETIC only. LIMIT: 2

Demonic Aura Grenade 3 Glory Points

It is theorised this horrid grenade is based on the same technology as the demon weapon that
destroyed the original city of Antioch. Its explosion seems to cause no physical damage, but
emits eerie, bright green light which causes rapid but painful death to those within its reach, and
armour offers no protection to its withering effects. Why it is not used by the Heretics in greater
numbers remains a mystery.

NAME Type Range Modifiers Keywords

Demonic Grenade GRENADE 8” 2X BLOOD MARKER BLAST 3”

Rules: You can aim the Demonic Aura Grenade against either a 1mmx1mm point on the
ground or an enemy model within range. Next, take a Ranged Attack ACTION. If the roll fails (ie.
you roll 6 or less), the Demonic Aura Grenade lands 1” away from its intended location,
multiplied by the number representing the degree of failure (for example, if you rolled 5, the
grenade lands 2” away, as 7-5=2). The direction is decided by your opponent. The Demonic
Aura Grenade ignores armour and it’s BLAST ignores interposing scenery. This weapon causes
double BLOOD MARKERS.
HERETIC only. LIMIT: 1

Loot.
Rules: At the end of each battle, your Warband gains an additional D6x5 ducats.
LIMIT: 1 NEW ANTIOCH only.

Masterworks Jezzail 4 Glory

It takes a year of combined efforts from a Jabirean Alchemist and one of the Sultan’s own

Unbelievers if they penetrate their target.

NAME Type Range Modifiers Keywords

Masterworks Jezzail 2-handed 36” +1D to hit CRITICAL

enemy models. Masterwork Jezzail is loaded with Alchemical Ammunition, so it has +1 DICE on

another enemy model with it in distance equal to the number you beat the 7 by. Roll Injuries
separately for both models.
SULTANATE only, ELITE only. LIMIT: 1

the very Iron Wall that protects Those Who Believe by the smiths of New Damascus. They are
given as a reward to the greatest warriors for their service on the battlefield by the Sultan’s hand
alone. Each ring of this armour is inscribed with a verse from the Holy Quran and is thus utterly
unbreakable.

attacks that ignore Armour. It adds +1 to the Scars of the model.
Only one model can ever wear this armour and it cannot be swapped for another model.. Even if
this armour is captured by the enemy, it cannot be worn by a model that does not have the
Keyword SULTANATE.
SULTANATE only, ELITE only. LIMIT: 1

Knighthood 5 Glory Points

War is the crucible which bestows honorifics more rapidly than any other activity. Those who
have won great fame can be given a rank of a Baron, Marquis, Bishop or other prestigious title.
Within the Taifas of the Iron Sultanate there are many titles to be had, from Chelebi Knight to a
mighty Sheik. Such titles command huge respect and attention by the upper echelons of the
society. Hell has its own twisted ranks of nobility, where those performing the vilest deeds and
committing the greatest acts of deprivation are given a rank amongst the Infernal Principalities.
Rules: At the end of each battle, your Warband gains an additional Glory Point.

ATTACKs that pass through any part of it suffer -1 DICE to hit.

Locust Spitter 6 Glory Points

A nest of infected Hell-locusts acts as a fuel tank for this horrific gun which vaguely resembles a
flamethrower. The voracious razor-sharp iron locusts which dwell within can find any chink in
armour no matter how small, and guided by the hateful will of the Lord of the Flies they
consume the flesh and swarm to their next nearby target in matter of seconds.

NAME Type Range Modifiers Keywords

Locust Spitter 2-Handed 24” -1D Injury, Ignore Armour

Rules: If you successfully hit a target with the Locust Spitter, the mindless hunger of the
Lord of Flies compels the swarm to continue devouring. Subtract the distance of the
target from your maximum range, and then target the closest non-BLACK GRAIL model,
friend or foe, that is wholly within the remaining distance. That target is also hit, and you
may repeat this process until there are no targets still in range. Each model may only be
hit by the Locust Spitter once.
BLACK GRAIL ONLY, LIMIT: 1
Battlefield title 6 Glory Points
Glorious deeds on the battlefield may earn the most determined, ruthless and deadly officers a

heraldic device of their house upon their wargear, and they have many privileges when it comes
ot allocating the most precious weapons and armour.

Great Banner of New Antioch 12 Glory Points

This item represents a famed standard, army battle banner or regimental colours. It may also
represent one of the many Free Companies or forces in the service of the Church. Warband
leaders often have their own battle banner decorated with the awards and ribbons the unit has
won, and carried proudly by a trusted warrior.
Rules: This banner occupies one hand at all times. While the model carrying the banner is in
play, your Warband has the following benefits. Whenever your Warband would make a Morale
check, it may choose whether it succeeds or fails. If it chooses to fail, your Warband
immediately flees, regardless of the Morale rules of the scenario.

Sultanate Grand Cannon 12 Glory
Brazen Bull Only
Mounted on the Great Iron Wall, these are the main artillery that the Sultanate produces in vast
numbers. Normally fixed in place, a variant suited for the massive hands of the Brazen Bulls has
been designed so the living field artillery of the Padishah can take on truly heavily armoured
enemies and vehicles.
