URL Copied!

Some units have the option to purchase magic standards. To do so, the unit must include a standard bearer. The only character that can carry a magic standard is your army's Battle Standard Bearer.

Banner of Iron Resolve(Magic Standard)50 points

No regiment that stands beneath the Banner of Iron Resolve has ever fled from the foe.

A unit carrying the Banner of Iron Resolve gains the Stubborn special rule.

Banner of the Steadfast(Magic Standard)50 points

Woven into the bright fabric of this banner is a scene of unimaginable gallantry, a scene that serves to inspire those who fight in its shadow to hold their ground no matter the odds.

Models whose troop type is infantry only. Should a unit carrying the Banner of the Steadfast belong to the losing side of a Combat, it can Fall Back in Good Order even if the Unit Strength of the winning side is more than twice that of its own side.

Totem of Wrath(Magic Standard)50 points

Cruel runes etched into the surface of this icon tremble with power, causing those around it to succumb to an animalistic ferocity.

During a turn in which it charged, models within a unit carrying the Totem of Wrath improve the Armour Piercing characteristic of their weapons by 1, and may re-roll any rolls To Wound of a natural 1.

Razor Standard(Magic Standard)40 points

Hung with hundreds of wickedly sharp blades, an air of sharpness radiates outwards from the Razor Standard.

Banner of Swirling Wind(Magic Standard)30 points

Gale-force winds surge around this standard so fiercely that arrows and shot are blown forcefully away from their target.

Any enemy model that shoots at a unit carrying the Banner of Swirling Wind suffers an additional -1 To Hit modifier.

Rampaging Banner(Magic Standard)30 points

As a matter of honour, those that fight beneath the Rampaging Banner are always first into the fray.

When a unit carrying the Rampaging Banner declares a charge, it may re-roll its Charge roll.

The Blazing Banner(Magic Standard)25 points

An eternal flame flickers about the weapons of those that march beneath the Blazing Banner.

Monster Hunter's Tapestry(Magic Standard)25 points

Those who have earned the right to fight under this standard have battled some of the Old World's most dangerous beasts and lived to tell the tale.

Enemy units may not make Stomp Attacks against a unit carrying the Monster Hunter's Tapestry.

War Banner(Magic Standard)25 points

A proud banner of great age. Those that march beneath the War Banner fight with grim resolve.

When calculating its combat result, a unit carrying the War Banner may claim an additional bonus of +1 combat result point.
