URL Copied!

These magic items are unique to Beastmen Brayherds armies. These can be purchased by models within a Beastmen Brayherds army in exactly the same way as common magic items, as described in the Warhammer: the Old World rulebook.

Magic Weapons

Primeval Club(Magic Weapon)60 points

This ancient club, bound in cracked leather and infested with spiders and slugs, has been stained red with blood since the dawn of civilisation and is the bane of all order and hope.

RangeStrengthArmour PiercingSpecial Rules
Combat*-3-

Notes: The Strength characteristic of the Primeval Club is equal to the current Leadership characteristic of the model that wields it.

Axe of Men(Magic Weapon)50 points

A single, mighty stroke from this fearsome axe can cut even the most powerful warrior clean in half, a sight which emboldens the bearer's followers and horrifies their enemies in equal measure.

CombatS-1-

Notes: Should the wielder of the Axe of Men kill an enemy character (including champions) in a challenge, they gain the Terror special rule for the remainder of the game.

Mangelder(Magic Weapon)40 points

The Mangelder saps the strength of its victims' minds as well as of their bodies, and those few who survive wounds inflicted by the weapon rarely fight again.

CombatS+1-1-

Notes: The wielder of the Mangelder causes Terror. Any enemy unit that suffers one or more unsaved wounds from the Mangelder suffers a -1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic (to a minimum of 2) until the end of the turn.

Hunter's Spear(Magic Weapon)35 points

Crafted to fell the mighty beasts of the far north, this thick-hafted spear bears enchantments allowing it to penetrate yards of flesh and muscle, skewering the foe through-and-through.

Notes: The Hunter's Spear shoots like a bolt thrower, using the 'Through & Through' special rule.

Magic Armour

Pelt of the Dark Young(Magic Armour)40 points

The Pelt of the Dark Young is shrouded in tendrils of darkness that gather about the wearer.

May be worn with other armour. The wearer of the Pelt of the Dark Young improves their armour value by 1 (to a maximum of 2+). In addition, its wearer (and any unit they have joined) has Magic Resistance (-2).

The Blackened Plate(Magic Armour)25 points

This battered suit of plate mail is blackened with the soot of burning palaces and temples.

Talismans

Rune of the True Beast(Talisman)30 points

This sigil of pure savagery is carved into the flesh of only the mightiest Beastlords, causing even the greatest of monsters to cower before the unbridled ferocity of this raging predator.

Enemy models whose troop type is monster suffer a -1 modifier to their Weapon Skill characteristic whilst within 6" of the bearer of the Rune of the True Beast.

Dark Heart*(Talisman)25 points

Beastmen rip the still beating hearts from their defeated rivals. In battle, they will feed upon these grisly trophies, claiming the strength of their vanquished enemies.

Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, the bearer of a Dark Heart can consume it. The model immediately recovers one lost Wound.

*Extremely Common

Magic Standards

Totem of Rust(Magic Standard)50 points

Little more than a jagged spike upon which the corroded remains of armoured warriors are impaled, the Totem of Rust spreads an all-consuming aura of entropy.

Every model (friend or foe) within 6" of the model carrying the Totem of Rust suffers a -1 modifier to its Armour Save rolls.

Manbane Standard(Magic Standard)40 points

The Manbane Standard is a corpse beset by carrion birds. Any who behold it are filled with the dread that it will be upon their eyes that the birds next feast.

All enemy units within 6" of the model carrying the Manbane Standard suffer a -1 modifier to their Leadership characteristic (to a minimum of 2).

Vitriolic Totem(Magic Standard)30 points

This gnarled and twisted bough is hung with the heads of the fallen. From these rotted trophies drips a constant rain of blackened ichor and poisoned blood.

Banner of Outrage(Magic Standard)25 points

This stolen standard has been befouled and stained as a terrible affront to the enemy. Its presence drives Beastmen to ever more vile extremes of savagery.

Enchanted Items

Stone of Spite(Enchanted Item)45 points

Contained within this glowing stone is the soul of an Ungor, slain in a hideous ritual. When crushed underhoof, a wave of bitterness and spite is released, banishing the Winds of Magic.

Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may use the Stone of Spite. Until your next Start of Turn sub-phase, all Wizards (friend or foe) suffer a -2 modifier to their Casting rolls.

Horn of the First Beast(Enchanted Item)30 points

This immeasurably ancient, fossilised horn is said to be taken from the skull of the First Beast. When it is sounded, Beastmen find the savage fury of their race swelling within their hearts.

Unless the bearer of the Horn of the First Beast is fleeing, any friendly unit that is within 18" of this model may use its Leadership characteristic when testing for Primal Fury.

Skin of Man(Enchanted Item)15 points

The wearer of this flayed and sigil-encrusted human pelt is under a glamour, making them appear no more than a particularly ugly peasant. When the skin is cast aside, the awful truth is revealed.

Beastmen Chieftains and Beastmen Shamans whose troop type is infantry only. The wearer of the Skin of Man gains the Scouts and Vanguard special rules.

Arcane Items

The Plague Chalice(Arcane Item)40 points

This rotted wooden chalice is filled with a vile brew of blood and pus. Any Shaman that sups from it is wracked with pain, even as raw magic courses through their veins.

If the bearer of the Plague Chalice rolls any natural double when making a Casting roll (not including rolls of a natural double 1), the spell is cast as a perfect invocation, regardless of its casting value or of any other modifiers. However, each time the bearer casts a perfect invocation, they suffer a Strength 4 hit with no armour save permitted (Ward and Regeneration saves can be attempted as normal).

Hagtree Fetish(Arcane Item)30 points

A crudely carved effigy of a hagtree, this shamanic heirloom can spell doom for the Bray-Shaman's foe when brandished with the appropriate curse.

Whenever the bearer of the Hagtree Fetish successfully casts a Magic Missile, they may re-roll any failed rolls To Wound.

Jagged Dagger(Arcane Item)15 points

This potent sacrificial tool radiates the pain and anger of a thousand ritual offerings made to the Ruinous Powers.

The Jagged Dagger can only be used by a Wizard that has joined a unit. Before making a Casting roll, the bearer of the Jagged Dagger may make a sacrifice. One model belonging to the bearer's unit is immediately removed from play as a casualty. The bearer may then modify their Casting roll by adding the Wounds characteristic of the sacrificed model to the result.

Note that this is a modifier to the result of a roll – it does not negate a roll of a natural double 1.
