Far to the North, beyond the frozen desolation of the Troll Country, is the roiling mass of the Chaos Wastes. The twisted servants of the Chaos gods gravitate here, to this place where normal rules do not apply and rivers are made of blood as often as they are of water.

Warriors of Chaos

At the beginning of each Close Combat phase Festus may either drink his potions, in which case he will immediately regain a single lost Wound, or try to force them down the throat of a single enemy model in base contact. If he attempts the latter, both player's roll a D6 and add their model's unmodified Strength to the result. If your opponent's total is higher, nothing happens. If Festus' total is equal or higher, his victim immediately suffers D3 Wounds, with no armour saves allowed. Any unsaved Wounds inflicted by Pestilent Potions count towards the combat result.

Infantry

Infantry includes all units of foot troops, be they Men, Elves, Goblin, Orcs, Zombies or any of the other anthropomorphic races that inhabit the Warhammer world. Infantry will normally be the core of your Warhammer army, the troops upon which you rely to get the job done. The basic rules of Warhammer are designed around infantry, so no further rules apply.

Special Character

The Warhammer army books each include the rules for several Special Characters within their pages. They are famous, named war leaders and mighty mages, tales of whose legendary (or nefarious) deeds have travelled far and wide, such as the Emperor Karl Franz, Grom the Paunch of Misty Mountain, the infamous Vampire Lord Vlad von Carstein and many more besides. Special Characters are exceptional individuals but, more importantly for our army selection purposes, they are unique – each can be included in an army only once.
