SOLDIERS OF THE EMPIRE STATE TROOPS M WS BS S T W I A Ld General 4 5 5 4 4 3 5 3 9 Captain 4 5 5 4 4 2 5 3 8 Special Rules Commanding Presence: Generals and Captains are tried and tested veterans of many battles, who understand the craft of soldiering better than anyone. Training and fighting together with their soldiers, these characters are able to give their orders in the midst of battle. Unit of State Troops that includes a General or a Captain may reform and hold as a charge reaction when charging unit is far than half of its charge move. M WS BS S T W I A Ld Halberdier 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 7 Spearman 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 7 Sergeant 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 2 7 Swordsman 4 4 3 3 3 1 4 1 7 Duellist 4 4 3 3 3 1 4 2 7 Handgunner 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 7 Crossbowman 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 7 Marksman 4 3 4 3 3 1 3 1 7

Special Rules State Troops: State troops can be used as independent units, parent units or detachments. See the detachment rules in the Empire Army Book. Moreover one unit of Core state troops may have a magic banner worth up to 25 pts. Regulars: It takes a lot of training to become a professional soldier in Empire. Practicing in Empire Martial Academy, soldiers learn to use their weapons in the most efficient way. Due to that, they are able to take a better advantage of bonuses and benefits the common weapons give. Therefore: Halberdiers: Empire soldiers are learned how to hit harder from the first rank and how to strike from the rear. This means that in addition to normal +1 Strength bonus the halberd gives, their blows are armour piercing. What is more, when not charging, they may fight with one extra rank to the front, and although they do not receive a Strength bonus to attacks made from the second row, armour piercing bonus still apply. Spearmen: Empire soldiers are learned to make a wall of spears in front of their enemies. They may fight with one extra rank to the front, when not charging. This means they normally fight in three ranks or two in a turn that they charge.

Bound Spell: Power Level variable. Choose any one of the eight magic lores in the Warhammer rulebook and randomly select one spell from that lore to be bound within the Ring of Volans. The power level of the spell cast by the ring will be equivalent to the normal casting value of the spell. The Silver Horn: 15 points One use only. All fleeing friendly units on the battlefield will rally automatically, regardless of number of models left.

Magic Standards Imperial Banner: 100 points All units with at least one model within 12” of the Imperial Banner can re-roll any failed Terror, Fear, Panic or Rally test as well tests to avoid pursuing a fleeing enemy. Banner of Sigismund: 60 points The standard bearer and all models in his unit are Stubborn. Note that this bonus is also conferred to other characters within the unit.

Griffon Standard: 50 points A unit carrying the Griffon Standard counts double its rank bonus when it comes to working out combat results. The unit may never pursue a fleeing enemy but will always hold its ground, even if affected by a special rule that means it normally must do so. Regimental Banner: 50 points (State Troops Only) Whenever the unit engaged by the bearer of this standard is attacked from flank or rear, the side owning this item doubles the bonus for such attacks. If the unit is attacked on both flanks, the opponent gets the bonus for both of them (this is an exemption from the rulebook). Banner of the Daemonslayer: (Knightly Orders only) 50 points When declaring a charge against the enemy, the unit counts as being immune to psychology. What is more, it causes Fear (both effects last to the end of the player's turn). Banner of Middenheim: 40 points The unit carrying the banner is immune to fear and terror. Standard of the White Wolf: (Knight of White Wolf only) 40 points All missile fire against the unit (including magic missiles) suffers a -1 penalty to its Strength. Other types of attacks, including spells that are not magic missiles, are unaffected. Banner of Valour: 30 points The unit is Immune to Panic. Standard of Arcane Warding: 30 points This banner confers magic resistance (2) on the unit that carries it. Discipline Standard: 25 points No matter how many models were killed in close combat phase, all models from the first rank may strike back as if were not slain at all. Banner of Reloading: 25 points The unit may fire for a second time every friendly shooting phase with their ranged weapons. The shots can be resolved against different targets and suffer no penalty for multiple shooting. The banner has no effect on war machines. Banner of Warrior True: 25 points When the unit carrying this banner takes a Break test, they count as having lost the combat by D3 fewer points than they really did. If this reduces the margin of the loss to 0 or lower, they still count as having lost the combat but test on their unmodified Leadership. This has no effect on other friendly units in a multiple combat, which must test as normal. Steel Standard: (Knightly Orders only) 20 points The unit can add D3” to its charge move. If the charge is failed, the unit will move forward 7” as normal. Banner of Duty: 10 points The unit can re-roll any failed Rally test.
