Master Necromancer

Models with this special rule are not subject to the Death of a General rule. In addition, unless they have joined a unit that does not have this special rule they (and their mounts) can march as normal.

A unit with this special rule reduces the number of wounds suffered due to the Unstable special rule by the number shown in brackets (shown here as ‘X’).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest value for the entire unit. For example, if a character with Indomitable (2) joins a unit with Indomitable (1), the whole unit uses the character’s Indomitable (2) special rule.

During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may attempt to resurrect the fallen (see page 28) by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, a single friendly unit that has the Necromantic Undead special rule and is within 12" of this character recovers a number of lost Wounds. However, magically repairing great Undead beasts is much harder than raising Zombies from the dirt. Therefore, how many Wounds are recovered depends upon the unit’s troop type and this character’s Level of Wizardry: • If the unit’s troop type is ‘regular infantry’ or ‘heavy infantry’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry +D3.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘swarms’, ‘light cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry +1.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘monstrous infantry’, ‘heavy cavalry’, ‘monstrous cavalry’ or ‘light chariot’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry.

• If the unit’s troop type is ‘heavy chariot’, ‘monstrous creature’, ‘behemoth’ or ‘war machine’, it recovers a single Wound.

A Wizard with the ‘Lore of Undeath’ special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or one of the spells listed below:

• Vanhal’s Danse Macabre • Hellish Vigour • Raise Dead

Models with this special rule are ‘Undead’. Undead models cannot march (unless they have the Fly (X) special rule and choose to move by flying). In addition, all Undead models have the following universal special rules: • Fear • Immune to Psychology • Unbreakable • Unstable A character with this special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice versa.

A model with this special rule can make a 'Regeneration' save. The armour value of a Regeneration save is shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (X+). A Regeneration save can never be modified by the AP characteristic of a weapon and can be made in addition to an armour save and Ward save. However, any wounds saved by a Regeneration save are still counted for the purposes of calculating combat result.

Note that models with this special rule are often vulnerable to the Flaming Attacks or Magical Attacks special rules.
