Magic Weapons

The Black Maul(Magic Weapon)80 points

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.

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.

The Axes of Khorgor(Magic Weapon)40 points

Notes: The wielder of the Axes of Khorgor may re-roll any rolls To Wound of a natural 1 made during the Combat phase.

Mangelder(Magic Weapon)40 points

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.

RangeStrengthArmour PiercingSpecial Rules
24"6-3-

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

The Brass Cleaver(Magic Weapon)30 points

The Brass Cleaver is said to be an artefact from another realm. Ancient and terrible, its outline blurs with a barely restrained thirst for carnage.

RangeStrengthArmour PiercingSpecial Rules

Scimitar of Skultar(Magic Weapon)25 points

Magic Armour

Full Plate Chaos Armour*(Magic Armour)40 points

Chaos Armour is a gift of the gods, a symbol of the wearer's status as a true champion of Chaos.

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).

Heavy Chaos Armour*(Magic Armour)30 points

Chaos Armour is a gift of the gods, a symbol of the wearer's status as a true champion of Chaos.

Heavy Chaos Armour is a suit of heavy armour. May be purchased and worn by a Wizard, even if they do not have the option to be equipped with armour, a shield or barding, without penalty. In addition, the wearer of Chaos Armour has a 5+ Ward save against any wounds suffered.

*Extremely Common

The Blackened Plate(Magic Armour)25 points

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

The Fur of Sharggu(Magic Armour)20 points

When the beast-spawn Sharggu was slain, its hide was roughly cut to make a heavy cloak.

May be worn with other armour. The wearer of the Fur of Sharggu improves their armour value by 2 (to a maximum of 2+) against non-magical shooting attacks.

Talismans

Chalice of Dark Rain(Talisman)50 points

It is said that to quaff from this blackened and rotted cup is to command the elements.

Single use. During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, the bearer of the Chalice of Dark Rain may drink from it. Until your next Start of Turn sub-phase, the range of all enemy missile weapons is halved (rounding fractions up) and enemy war machines cannot shoot.

Cornucopia of Corpulence(Talisman)30 points

This twisted basket overflows with such abundant filth that the weak might drown in its bounty.

When the bearer's combat is chosen during Step 1.1 of any Choose & Fight Combat sub-phase, enemy models in base contact with the bearer of the Cornucopia of Corpulence must make a Toughness test. If this test is failed, they lose a single Wound.

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

The Gore Banner(Magic Standard)50 points

Enemies tremble to see the foul sigils daubed upon this blood-drenched standard.

If a unit wishes to declare a charge against a unit carrying the Gore Banner, it must first make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, the unit cannot charge. It does not move and is considered to have made a failed charge. If this test is passed, the unit can charge as normal.

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.

Banner of the Warped Moon(Magic Standard)45 points

Glowing with Morrslieb's light, creatures of the sky cower before the Banner of the Warped Moon.

During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, the bearer of this banner may attempt to unleash its power by making a Leadership test (using their own unmodified Leadership). If this test is passed, until your next Start of Turn sub-phase enemy units cannot use the Fly (X) special rule.

The Beast Banner(Magic Standard)40 points

Adorned with shattered beast skulls, the Beast Banner radiates an unquenchable thirst for battle.

A unit carrying the Beast Banner increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, when it makes a Charge roll, may apply a + D3 modifier to the result.

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.

The Soiled Tapestry(Magic Standard)15 points

Dragged through filth, this once-sacred banner is now a symbol of hatred.

A unit carrying the Soiled Tapestry gains the Hatred (all enemies) special rule. However, all enemy models Hate the unit carrying this banner.

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 Great Hunt(Enchanted Item)35 points

The dissonant blare of this twisted horn summons Beastmen to the blood grounds to hunt and slaughter the weak.

Once per turn, after rolling to determine if a unit with the Ambushers special rule that is currently held in reserve as reinforcements arrives, and if the bearer of the Horn of the Great Hunt is on the battlefield and is not fleeing, you may apply a +1 or -1 modifier to the result.

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.

Scourge of the Burdened(Enchanted Item)25 points

Snatched from the petrified fingers of a cruel wagoner, the threat of this barbed whip inspires swiftness amongst all beasts.

Cacophonous Dirge(Enchanted Item)15 points

The march of the warherd is always accompanied by the raucous droning of pipes so deafeningly loud that it drowns out the instruments of all the foe.

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).

Blood of the Shadowgave*(Arcane Item)35 points

When shattered upon the ground, clay jars of Morghur's blood boil and spit, birthing mewling beastlings that consume raw magic from the very air, before fading back into the cursed soil.

Daemon Heart(Arcane Item)30 points

Pulled still beating from the chest of a shadow-skinned Daemon, this gruesome artefact must constantly consume magic lest it fade to dust.

When attempting a Wizardly dispel, the bearer of the Daemon Heart counts their Level of Wizardry as being one higher than that of the Wizard whose spell they are dispelling or, in the case of Bound Spells, one higher than that spell's Power Level.

Note that this applies even if it would mean the bearer counts their Level of Wizardry as being lower than it actually is.

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.

Goretooth*(Arcane Item)15 points

In bloody rituals, Bray-Shamans tear the teeth from the jaws of raging beasts to make amulets that allow them to tap into the primal rage of their victims.

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.
