A second Rune of Slowness means a foe rolls 2D3 and must choose the highest dice when subtracting from his charge distance. Should the army be intercepted, retreat will be impossible; if it loses the battle it will be wiped out Once per game, during the Remaining Moves sub-phase, models with this special rule may drop bombs unless they are fleeing.A Runelord candidate may only be promoted with the death of an existing Runelord, so this position is highly coveted and contested. Among the Dwarfs, Runelords are equal to kings, and so they move through Dwarf society as some of its most esteemed members. A few Runelords withdraw from the world, sequestering themselves away to learn the deeper secrets of the Master Runes and perhaps create a few of their own, further diminishing their numbers as their names become legend. [1a] These elder masters do superlative work and are accorded the sort of reverence normally reserved for the Ancestor Gods.

Emperor Magnus reigned for sixty-five years and many regard his reign as among the happiest periods in the Empire's long history since Sigmar's own rule. A general peace reigned throughout the land, and the reunification of the Empire brought increased commerce and prosperity as trade flowed like water. Magnus took steps to increase the defences of the Empire against the Dark Powers of Chaos and their servants, removing the ancient Imperial ban on wizardry and even creating the Imperial Colleges of Magic under the tutelage of the High Elf Wizard Teclis. A new age of intellectual vigour and inquiry had begun for Humanity. [1d] With so many distinct armies fighting over the Old World, you might be asking which factions would be the ones to feature in Warhammer: The Old World. We’ve seen a noble Paladin of Bretonnia and a Tomb King who seems very upset to be awoken, so it’s safe to assume that these two factions will feature prominently in this new game – but speculate no more, as the guys from the Warhammer Design Studio are here with a guide to who’s who in the era before the Siege of Praag. Take it away! Who, Where, and When? Dwarfs are a technologically advanced race, with a long and powerful tech tree which can provide many buffs to their units.Miners have the Ambushers special rule. In addition, instead of deploying like normal Ambushers, a Miner unit can choose to arrive anywhere on the battlefield from below. During deployment, before Scouts are placed, place a tunnel marker anywhere on the battlefield. The unit will then deploy using the Ambushers special rule. When the unit emerges, roll a scatter dice and an artillery dice. If you roll a hit on the scatter dice, the marker stays in place; if you roll an arrow, move the marker the number of inches indicated by the artillery dice in the direction shown by the arrow. If the marker is moved off the tabletop, the Miners are considered lost; treat them as casualties. In case a Misfire is rolled, roll a D6 and consult the Underground Mishap chart. No single item can have more than three runes. It is virtually impossible to forge items able to bear the strain of carrying so much power. Runesmiths call this the Rule of Three.

High King Alriksson called for a Council of Kings, something not done in over three centuries. The Dwarf king of every stronghold, along with the most powerful thanes and the royalty of every clan, made the dangerous trek to the halls of the High King. They gathered in the Great Hall, and many oaths of loyalty were repeated before Alriksson announced his plan for succession. There were a dozen suitable candidates — great kings and thanes of royal clans who could claim descent from the Ancestor Gods themselves. Each of these noble warriors would be given a full year to accomplish heroic feats and attempt deeds worthy of a High King, after which they would present themselves to the full assembly and a decision would be made. [1d] Kurgan threw the hammer towards Sigmar, cursing the Orcs with every curse known to Dwarfkind. Sigmar caught the ancient weapon and the tide turned for the Unberogen. Sigmar assaulted the Orc with mighty strikes of his hammer, the fury of his blows bringing the hulking beast down to a single knee. With the final strike, Sigmar smashed the Orc's skull to bloody shards. A mighty feat, even for a warrior wielding a weapon forged with Dwarfen skill. With the close of the battle, their holdings avenged, Sigmar attempted to return the hammer to the High King. In that moment, a historical act came about, one unheard of in all the annals of both Men and Dwarfs that forever forged an unbreakable bond of friendship between the men of the lands west of the mountains and the Dwarfen kingdom of Karaz Ankor -- King Kurgan Ironbeard gifted the ancient hammer Ghal-Maraz to Sigmar.

He returned several long lost relics that bore runes of which Kragg the Grim, the eldest living Runelord of the Karaz Ankor, had only heard tell in legend. Many on the assembled Council of Elders wept openly as they passed around these recovered pieces of a more glorious age, marvelling at the workmanship of the Golden Sceptre of Norgrim, coveting the returned fragments of what could only be the lost crown of Karak Drazh.
