On a wounded world, new realms struggle to survive over the ashes of old empires.
The Human Empire fell when the world beneath it cracked. In an instant, its ancient capital and last
emperor were swallowed into the earth and lost forever. A massive wound now cuts through the
continent, winding and splitting the land itself.
It is an age of war in the lands of Tyria, where the peace and order of the last era have collapsed and new
powers have begun to emerge. A vast land of many peoples and kingdoms, no corner of Tyria has been left
completely untouched by the opening of the Great Rift.
Daemonic howls haunt the land, from the frigid north to the once peaceful Elven shores. In the Western
steppe lands, Dwarven berserkers bring the fire and fury of their new gods to bear against the thick armour
of their Orcish foes. While beneath the sea, ancient powers, once driven into hiding, now plot their return
to a now weakened and fractured surface. In the Southern deserts, even death offers no escape for the
cursed souls of the people there.
As all this unfolds, others have begun to pour into Tyria from different planes of existence. Civilizations
once lost have returned under new gods, while others have come unbidden to hunt the Daemons plaguing
Tyria. Strange and fantastic creatures have arrived as well, intent on carrying out their own goals, only
vaguely understood by the people of Tyria.
It is a time of otherworldly monsters, legendary heroes and unlikely alliances. An era of wonders and
ambition, as well as calamity and horror.
How will you forge your path in this age of fantasy?

 GENERAL PRINCIPLES
The Most Important Rule Dice
When playing a complex game there are going to be occasions To play the game you are going to need some six-sided dice,

• Large Infantry: 50mm tall on 40mm/50mm square bases Re-Rolls
• Cavalry: 40mm tall on 50mmx25mm rectangle bases
Whenever a rule tells you to re-roll a dice result, simply pick

up the number of dice you have to re-roll, and roll them again.
• Giants: 100mm tall on 100mmx50mm rectangle bases

you keep base sizes consistent across all models.

of a tie the players must re-roll until there is a winner.
This means that when a rule applies to a unit it applies to all
miniatures within that unit, whilst if a rule applies to a model it Quality Tests
only applies to one individual miniature.
During the game you will be required to take Quality tests in
Unit Stats order to see if a unit succeeds at doing various things such as
hitting its targets or passing morale tests.
Units come with a variety of statistics that define who they are
and what they can do. Whenever a rule states that a unit must take a Quality test, roll
one die. If you score the unit’s Quality value or higher, then it

counts as a success, else it counts as a fail.
• Quality: The score needed for attacks and morale.
• Defense: The score needed for defense. Example: A model with Quality 4+ must take three Quality tests.
• Equipment: Any weapons and gear the unit has. The player rolls three dice and scores a 3, a 4 and a 5. This means that
• Special Rules: Any special rules the unit has. the model gets two successes (the 4 and the 5), and one fail (the 3).
• Cost: How many points it costs to take this unit.

Modifiers Measuring Movement
Throughout the game there are going to be rules that apply When measuring how far a model moves always measure so

value of a unit’s roll results by either +1 or -1, but the exact
number may vary.

Whenever a modifier applies to one of your rolls, simply add

or subtract the value from the roll and the new value counts as
the final result, however a roll of 6 always counts as a success
and a roll of 1 always counts as a fail, regardless of how much
it is being modified by.

Example: A model with Quality 4+ must take three Quality tests

with a -1 modifier. The player rolls three dice and scores a 3, 4 and 5.
Because of the modifier the final result is a 2, a 3 and a 4. This means
that the model gets one success (the 4), and two fails (the 2 and the 3).

Weapons
All weapons in the game are separated into two categories:
ranged weapons and melee weapons. Ranged weapons have a
range value and can be used for shooting, whilst melee
weapons don’t have a range value and can be used in melee.

Weapons profiles are represented like this:

Note that whilst all examples here show square bases, these
• Name (Range, Attacks, Special Rules) movement restrictions apply in the same way to models on
bases of different shape or models without a base.
Example: Heavy Rifle (24”, A1, AP(1))

Measuring Distances
To play the game you are going to need a ruler marked in
inches, which you may use to measure distances at any time.

Distances are usually measured from a model’s base, however

if a model has no base, then all distances are measured from its
hull or torso, depending on the model.

When measuring the distance between two models you always

measure from/to the closest point of their bases.

When measuring the distance between two units you always

measure from/to the closest model in each unit.

number of models, and whenever that’s not the case it’s always
Each one of these methods is more complex than the other, and
the last row that must have fewer models.
we recommend playing with basic line of sight for your first
match, and only switch to another more complex method if
you find it not to be precise enough for your needs.

Note that no matter which method you use, the following rules
always apply to line of sight:

• Models can always see in all directions, regardless of

where the miniature is actually facing (note that
models may only shoot in their front facing,
regardless of line of sight).
• Models may always ignore friendly models from their
own unit for the purpose of line of sight.
• Models may not see through solid obstacles, including
the perimeter of other units (friendly or enemy).
• Models always have line of sight to themselves, and
may target themselves (unless stated otherwise).

Unit Facing
All models and units must have a clear front, flank and rear,
based on where they are facing, which are used to determine
various things like movement and line of sight.

Note that each of their front, flank and rear arcs extend at a 45°
angle, forming four 90° quadrants.

Example: A height 2 infantry models standing on a height 3 building

To determine line of sight, simply draw a straight line from any

point of the model’s base to any point of the target’s base. If the
line doesn’t pass through any obstacles or units of same height
or higher than both models, then the model has line of sight.

When using this method, we recommend counting all models

and terrain pieces of the same type as being the same height, to
avoid having to constantly have to measure heights.

The armies must follow these limitations:

play on the floor, on a bed, or wherever else you have space.
• Only 1+X copies of the same unit, where X is 1 per

of each unit, no unit worth over 525pts, and max. 10 units in total.
There are no specific rules on how you should place terrain,
but we have provided some general guidelines in the terrain Combined Units

The Mission The winning player first chooses one long table edge to deploy
on and then places one unit fully within 12” of their table edge.
At the end of each round, if a unit is within 3” of a marker
whilst no enemies are, then it counts as being seized. Once they are done, then the opposing player places one unit
fully within 12” of the opposite table edge.
Markers remain seized even if the unit moves away, however
Shaken units can’t seize or stop others from seizing them. Then the players continue alternating in placing one unit each,
until all units have been deployed.
If units from both sides contest a marker at the end of a round
then it becomes neutral.

After 4 rounds have been played, the game ends, and the
player that controls most markers wins.

Preparing your Army

Before the game begins, you and your opponent are going to
have to agree on what size of game you want to play.

For a start we recommend playing with armies worth 750pts

each, and once you have gotten familiar with the game, you
can start playing full matches with 1500pts armies each.

To put your army together, simply select units and upgrades

from your army’s list, and sum together their total point cost.

There are no limitations as to how many units you can take, as

long as their total point cost doesn’t go over the agreed limit.

counts as a hit, and all failed rolls are discarded with no effect.

Example: The three Archers (Quality 5+) are shooting at the

Skeletons. They take three Quality tests and roll a 4, a 5 and a 6. This
means that they score a total of 2 hits.

3. Roll to Block
For every hit that the unit has taken, the defending player must
roll one die, trying to score the target’s Defense value. Each
success counts as a blocked hit, and all failed rolls cause one
wound each to the target.

Example: The unit of Skeletons (Defense 5+) has taken two hits. They
roll two dice and get a 4 and a 5. This means that the Skeletons have
blocked 1 hit and taken 1 wound.

4. Remove Casualties
For each wound that the unit has taken, the defending player
must remove one model as a casualty from the back row.
Example: In the image above only the three Archers in the middle can
shoot at the Skeletons. The model at the top is in range but has no line The defending player may remove models from the target in
of sight, whilst the model at the bottom has line of sight but is out of any order, as long as only the last row has fewer models.
range of the Skeletons.

Multiple Weapon Types

If a unit is firing multiple weapon types, then you may
separate each weapon type into its own weapon group.

Each group may be fired at a different target, however you

may fire only at up to two different targets, and all weapons
from the same group must fire at the same target.

Note that the target for each weapon group must be declared
before rolling, and all weapons are fired simultaneously.

Example: A unit of Marksmen is armed with Bows and a Crossbow.

Since it has two weapon types, the Marksmen can fire all the Bows at
a nearby Skeletons unit and the Crossbow at a distant Skeleton King.

The Shooting Sequence

Shooting is done in a simple sequence which has to be followed
separately for each weapon group:

1. Determine Attacks
2. Roll to Hit
3. Roll to Block
4. Remove Casualties

then that enemy is a valid target (no line of sight is needed).

Charge Moves
Charging units may pivot by up to 90° before moving, and
must then move by up to 12” to get into base contact with an
enemy model from the target unit (charge moves must be in a
straight line, and units may only pivot before moving)

Once the unit has reached contact with the target, it must then
pivot so as to close any gaps, and then shuffle sideways to try
and maximize contact with the target, and then the target unit
must do the same if necessary.

Note that units must charge and align with their target in the
facing where the majority of their front rank models are when
the charge is first declared.

Note that models may only strike at targets in their front

facing, so units that are charged in their flank or rear facing
won’t be able to strike back.

This makes flank and rear charges very powerful, as the target
is most likely going to have to take a morale test, and will risk
being Shaken. Not only that, but units that are charged in the
rear won’t be able to pivot and charge back, making them
waste a turn pivoting and not fighting.

Note that starting size is counted at the beginning of the game.

Taking Morale Tests Simply remove the entire unit from the game as a casualty.

• If the roll is successful, nothing happens.
• If the roll is unsuccessful, the unit is Shaken.

Melee Morale Tests

Units in melee don’t take morale tests from wounds, but must
compare the number of wounds each unit caused instead. The
unit with the lowest total loses, and must take a morale test.

Note that units that are destroyed in melee always count as

• If the roll is unsuccessful, and the unit still has over
half or more of its starting size or tough value (for
units with a single model), then the unit is Shaken.
• If the roll is unsuccessful, and the unit only has half or
less of its starting size or tough value (for units with a
single model), then the unit Routs.

 TERRAIN
Terrain Rules
When setting up terrain, players must agree on what terrain
type rules each piece of terrain follows. This will make sure
that you do not have any arguments during your game, and
that things can proceed smoothly.

Each piece of terrain may count as having multiple terrain

types, and you may also add other conditions to further
customize your terrain rules.

Example: A piece of Forest terrain could count both as Cover as well

as Difficult Terrain. Additionally, you could allow units to shoot into
and out of it freely, but not through it.

Open Terrain
Examples: Grass Fields, Dirt Roads, Streets, etc.
Cover Terrain
Any surface that is not specifically defined as a type of terrain
Examples: Forests, Ruins, Fences, etc.
(like forests, buildings, rivers, etc.) counts as open terrain.
Terrain features that models can hide in or behind, or that
Open terrain does not have any special rules, and any rules
could stop projectiles, count as cover terrain.
that affect terrain do not apply to open terrain.
If the majority of models in a unit are in or behind a piece of
Impassable Terrain cover terrain, they get +1 to Defense rolls when blocking hits
Examples: Mountains, Canyons, Deep Water, etc. from shooting attacks.

Any surface that would stop models from moving through it Difficult Terrain
counts as impassable terrain.
Examples: Woods, Mud, Rivers, etc.
Units may not move through impassable terrain, unless they
Terrain features that hinder a model’s movement, or force
have any rules that allow them to ignore it.
them to slow down, count as difficult terrain.
Blocking Terrain If any model in a unit moves in or through difficult terrain at
Examples: Walls, Buildings, Rocks, etc. any point of its move, then all models in the unit may not move
more than 6” for that movement.
Any piece of terrain that models can’t see or shoot through
counts as blocking terrain. Dangerous Terrain
Units may not draw line of sight through blocking terrain, Examples: Quicksand, Lava Pools, Deadly Vegetation, etc.
unless they have any rules that allow them to ignore it.
Terrain features that could harm models, or outright kill them,
count as dangerous terrain.

If a model moves in or through dangerous terrain, or is

activated in it, then it must take a dangerous terrain test.

To take a dangerous terrain test, roll one die (or as many dice
as the model’s Tough value), and if the result is 1, then the unit
takes one automatic wound.

Elevated Terrain
Hills, Rooftops, Cliffs, etc.

Terrain that is over 3” tall, and any gaps that are over 1” wide,
count as elevated terrain, and are impassable.

Any terrain piece that is up to 3” tall can be climbed as part of a

unit’s regular movement, and units may move across gaps up
to 1” wide as if they were solid ground.

• Rules for each terrain It’s also good to keep a balance of different terrain types, so
• Number of pieces that units with different weapons and special rules can use
• How to place it them effectively in various situations.

Terrain Overview Here are some basic terrain type recommendations:

Whilst there is no limit to the size of terrain that you can use • At least 50% should block line of sight
for your games, we have a few recommendations for you: • At least 33% should provide cover
• At least 33% should be difficult terrain
• Small pieces of scatter terrain, like barrels, boxes, • Each player should pick 1 piece to be dangerous
barricades, etc. should be somewhere between 1”x1”
and 3”x3” in size. Example: If you’re playing with 12 pieces of terrain, at least 6 should

• Lava - Dangerous least 6” between terrain pieces, so they can fit through.
• Mountains - Impassable + Blocking
• Rivers - Dangerous when using rush/charge
• Rubble - Difficult
• Ruins - Cover + Dangerous when using rush/charge
• Swamps - Difficult

Note that whilst all of the terrain we mentioned so far is what

you’ll need for gameplay purposes, it’s also always good to
have elements of decorative terrain that have no effect on the
game, but that help make your table look better.

These could be elements such as patches of grass, shallow

water puddles, scattered gravel, chain-link fences, street signs,
and other things that make sense for your table.
