Complex Unit Entries
(Rule)Description: In addition to the elements detailed above, certain units may have additional distinctive features that will be explained based on the Character unit entry in figure figure/complex_unit_entry.
a) Certainunits , like Characters , consist only of a single model. These units are labelled as single model units . They follow the same rules as units consisting of multiple models , but there may be certain differences, like Characters being able to join other units .
b) Just like regularunits , Characters may have a unit cap. This cap applies to all Characters of this type , regardless of their upgrades, equipment, and mounts . In this example, this means that you can only have up to 3 Wicked Witches in your army, e.g. one of them on foot and two on Witches' Brooms.
c)Models that can cast spells are referred to as Wizards . Wizards come in 3 different types : Wizard Apprentice , Adept, and Master. The Model Rules tell you which Wizard type the model has by default (in this example, the Wicked Witch is a Wizard Apprentice) , while the Magic Options show you which types the model can be upgraded to. In case you upgrade your Wizard, the upgrade replaces the default Wizard type . In addition, you will also find in this section the Paths that the Wizard has to choose a single one from. The Wizard will select its spells from this chosen Path (see Spell Selection) .
d) Certainmodels , like most Characters , have access to Weapon Enchantments , Armour Enchantments , Artefacts , etc. These upgrades are referred to as Special Items (see Special Items and The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles -- Arcane Compendium). If a model can buy Special Items, you will find this information in the unit entry's options , together with the maximum amount of points a model can spend on them.
e)Characters are usually on foot by default. Most of them can however be given a mount . The Mount Options will tell you which mounts are available for a Character and how many points you have to pay for them. Note that a Character may always only take a single mount .
f) As explained above, unit entries will contain unit-specific Model Rules. In addition, you will sometimes also find Optional Model Rules. In order to gain these Model Rules, you must buy the corresponding upgrade for the model.
