Black Guard Drummer

A model wearing heavy armour will add 2 to their Defence characteristic.

Where a model is listed as having a type of armour in its profile, then the improvement in its Defence characteristic will already have been included in their profile. If a model has the opportunity to upgrade one type of armour to another, then they will replace one with the other - they will not get the Defence benefits of both.

These are the standard kind of weapon a model may carry, and is anything wielded in a single hand, such as a sword, an axe, a mace or all manner of other weapons. The exact kind of weapon being carried doesn't matter; all hand weapons function the same. A hand weapon has no specific rules attached to it.

A model with a war drum may use it during the Declare Heroic Actions step of each Move Phase to declare a Heroic March for free, without spending a Might Point, even if they are not a Hero. This free Heroic March has the following exceptions:

• A model with a war drum that declares a Heroic March must always shout At the Double. • The range of this At the Double is 12" rather than 6". Additionally, friendly models must finish their Activation within 12" rather than 6". • The Heroic March declared when a model uses a war drum will only affect friendly models with the same keywords as the ones showen in brackets after the war drum. So if a model has a war drum (Mordor) then it will only affect models with the Mordor keyword.

As a war drum allows a model to declare a free Heroic March, models cannot be affected by both a war drum and a normal Heroic March in the same turn.
