INTRODUCTION Welcome to Warhammer Armybook: The Order of Solland. This is your definite guide to collecting, painting and playing with an Order army in the Warhammer tabletop wargame. The Warhammer Game

The Order's Timeline

The Warhammer rulebook contains the rules you need to fight battles with your Citadel miniatures in the war-torn world on Warhammer. Every army has its own Army Book that works with these rules and allows you to turn your collection of miniatures into an organized force, ready for battle. This particular Army book details everything you need to know about Albion, and allows you to field their armies in your games of Warhammer.

This section (is still under construction) introduces the people of Solland. It includes their history with the Empire, their eventual destruction, and the rise of the Order of Solland.

The Order of Solland Bestiary Every character and troop type in the Order army is examined in this section. Firstly, you will find a description of the unit, outlining its place in the army. Secondly, you will find complete rules for the unit and details of any unique powers they possess or specialist equipment they carry into battle. Also included are the rules for Terror Magic, as well as Black Monk warcrys, along with all of the Order's special characters.

Why Collect The Order? This book describes in detail the troops that march to battle when the armies of The Order go to war. An Order army makes use of heavily armed units as well as devastating cavalry. Soldiers from different areas of the old world form the bulk of the army, knights ride down all those who oppose them, crusaders march upon far away lands, and the monks roar out their awe-inspiring warcrys. Leading these troops are none other than the four Hochmeisters, who charge into battles worthy of tale and song.

Order Armylist The army list takes all of the warriors and creatures presented in the Order Bestiary and arrange them so that you can choose a force for your games. The army list separates them into Lords, Heroes, Core, Special and Rare units. Each unit type has a points value to help you pit your force against an opponent in a fair match. This section includes the Vault of The Order, magic items that you can give to your characters.

How this Book Works Every Army Book is split into sections that deal with different aspects of the army. Warhammer Armybook: The Order of Solland contains the following:

BESTIARY

In this section you will find information and rules for all of the different warriors, heroes, creatures and war machines in the Order army. At the end of the section are some special characters – famous men of the Order of Solland that you can field in your army. Before it's inevitable destruction, Solland had possessed one of the strongest military’s of the empire. File upon file of state troops had marched out against Solland's many enemies and almost always they returned battered yet triumphant in the field.

Special Rules Many troop types have special rules to reflect their unique nature and abilities, and these are explained in the individual Bestiary entries that follow. To save space and repetition, where a model has a special rule that is explained in the Warhammer rulebook, only the name of the rule is given in this section. Refer to the special rules section of Warhammer for the full details of how the rule works. Similarly, the following rule applies to most units in this Bestiary, and as such is detailed here:

After the fall of Solland and the formation of the Order, things changed dramatically. No more were seen the ranks of state troops or the thundering cannons and mortars. The Order's forces, vastly diminished in size, now rely on local recruitment in to bolster their ranks.

Wave of Steel and Iron: Over hundreds of years the soldiers of the order have become some of the most disciplined armies to march across the old world. However in battle the heavily armored foot soldiers crash in a tide of iron against their foes. Models with this rule in the front rank of a horde formation inflict1 impact hit at their base strength value +1 when they charge.

An Order crusade can comprise of a few soldiers or many hundreds of different sects, each with its own marshal. Pikemen from Bretonnia, crossbows from Tilea, macemen of Estalia, and even the slowly rebuilding sword brethren of Solland all march in tandem against their foes. The elite crusaders are sometimes joined by either fiery zealots or humble pilgrims. Leading these men are the Großkompters, second only to their regional Hochmeister, who are assisted by cadres of veteran crusaders, war-mages, and deafening black monks.

Full Plate Armor: These all-enclosing suits of armor are crafted by Order master smiths and are kept in high honor by the Order provinces in their personal collections. These suits of armor are very rare, but undoubtedly offer the best protection available to warriors of the Order Army. Full Plate Armor confers a 4+ armor save to its wearer.

Perhaps the most well known of the Order are it's knights. From the lowly Jüngerbruder, apprentices at war, to the steadfast Halbrüder, their loyal teachers, these knights bring the wrath of Solland down on all those who threaten her. But perhaps the most fabled of these knights is the dreaded Ritterbrüder. Riding on dark steeds these almost supernatural warriors fight with the strength of twenty men and the horned helms they wear inspire fear in even the most brave of men.

Horned Dark Helms: Cursed by the foul taint of Darak's betrayal, the orders most powerful knights ride to war wearing horned helms designed to taunt the forces of chaos and inspire fear in all who look upon them. Any unit charged by a model with this rule must take a leadership test in the same way as if they were charged by a model causing terror Crusaders/Sollanders: While most of Sollands pitiful remains march among the orders ranks, there are those who preferred an attempt at new lives. These farmers, craftsmen, and militia are not part of the crusading forces in most cases. However should the need be great or the cause just these men will take up arms and go to war along with their brothers in armor. Any unit you take with the "Crusader" trait allows you to take a single "Sollander" unit of equal or less models. Sollander units may not be fielded otherwise.

On the following pages are the complete rules for the models in the Order army. Each entry includes the models profile and special rules. This is normally in combination with the army list on pages (?) to create a force that can be used in a one-off game in Warhammer. However, players can also design scenarios with specific forces involved, or run a series of games in a campaign, both of which may well use the information in this section without recourse to the Order army list.

In addition, All units that do not have the Sollander trait do not have to take panic tests caused by units that have the Sollander Trait.

Großkompters and Marshals Since the time of the founding of the Order the highest rank officers of the Hochmeisters are the Großkompter. They lead the armies into battle wherever they may go. However the position of Großkompter is not simply one of military command. It is a title of lordship and stewardship over part of the Hochmeisters lands. The Großkompter is expected to watch over and care for those he has sworn to lead. He acts as the judge, jury, and executioner for all civil disputes within his jurisdiction. This has of course led to some problems when unwise, unlawful, or plain cruel Großkompter either abused their power or simply could not keep their subjects in line. The hope, of course, is that each Hochmeister keeps a close eye on his Großkompter so that they are kept in check and not allowed to destroy the lands of the Order. However in one famous episode a Großkompter attempted to claim that as lord of the lands the Hochmeister had given his power up to him. this was rectified when almost two-hundred knights galloped into the castle and proceeded to drag the helpless Komptur by ropes from Bretonnia to Estalia. Of course the true might of the Großkompter has been in war. They command sizable forces of both knights and supporting troops. Rarely a Großkompter will be able to command a force of the dreaded RitterBrüder but it has been a common sight to see household guards consisting of nothing less than the dreaded black knights. With the power of the heavy knights, crusaders of righteousness, and hundreds if not thousands of Imperial conscripts, there is nothing that will not be crushed under the Großkompters leadership. Under the Großkompter serve a tank of men known as the Marshals. These men are small land owners among the Order who command lesser forces of crusaders. When the time comes for the Order to march the Großkompters call upon their Marshals to rally what men they can to the gathering point. Normally each marshal can only bring a few dozen men but once together the army can be anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand in the case of a full call to arms. Like the Großkompter, Marshals are great commanders in battle, as well as more than capable fighters.

War-Mages and Dark Mages Mages are outcasts from the colleges of magic having delved into darker arts in attempts to increase their personal power. Some went to work as mercenaries for varies factions in the old world. Some went on trips to far away Ind or Cathey to learn more. Yet more were hunted down by witch hunters of the Empire. To this day most are considered a blight on civilized peoples and some have bounties greater than rouge princes. The Order did not have the ability to call upon the colleges of magic to join them, nor did they want to rely on mercenaries to fill their lack of magic support. So the Hochmeisters came up with a plan to indoctrinate mages into their ranks by offering a clean slate. Needless to say the effect was instantaneous and mages flocked to join the Orders ranks for a degree of protection and freedom. This did not go unnoticed by the witch hunters.

6

The Witch hunters and their assorted minions demanded that the Odrer hand over all their indoctrinated mages. When the Order refused one of the greatest battles in the orders history erupted in the year 2439. The Orders headquarters in Pheildorf was almost burned to the ground and the garrison was hard pressed. The day was saved when the Orders mages unleashed a wave of horrifying power, driving off the inquisitors.

Spell The Night Shrouds The Abyss Sings The Black Curse The Soulless Gaze The Consuming Gate The Darkness Devours

Difficulty 5+ 7+ 7+ 10+ 14+ 15+

Gnawing Fear (Lore Attribute) fear comes in many ways, sometimes quickly in a rush of adrenalin other times slowly in that you can run. Those that use the Lore of Terror know that the best fear is that which takes you unexpectedly, freezing you cold and sucking the hope from your body. If a spell from the Lore of Terror is successfully cast on an enemy unit, that unit suffers -1 to their leadership until the start of the casters next Magic phase. This effect may only occur once per unit.

THE DARKNESS RISES (Signature Spell) Cast on a 5+ The wizard chants words of an ancient language of men, filling the hearts of those who hear it with darkness and fear. The darkness rises is a hex spell with a range of 12”, the target unit or model takes a leadership test. If failed they must move backwards d3 inches (they will face the same direction) should the move take the unit to the edge of the board they will stop at the edge. The wizard may chose to increase the distance of the move to d6. If he does so the casting value is increased to 8+, unlike other hexes, this spell may not be cast into combat

4. THE SOULLESS GAZE Cast on a 10+ The magician shoots black fire from his eyes. The soulless gaze is a direct damage spell. Place the flame template with the small end touching the wizard. the wizard may elect to try and boost the flames range by throwing an artillery die and moving the template that many inches straight forwards, however if a misfire is rolled the flames backfire and only the wizard is hit. Any model hit suffers a Strength 6 hit that has multiple wounds (d3). the wizard may choose to have the spell ignore ward saves and inflict d6 wounds instead. If he does so the casting value is increased to 21+.

1. THE NIGHT SHROUDS Cast on a 7+ The mage immerses his allies in a shroud of night making them almost invisible to their foes. The Night Shrouds is an augment spell with a range of 12” a target friendly unit gains a 5+ ward save against shooting attacks, the wizard may choose to have this spell affect every unit within 12”. If he does so the casting value is increased to 14+. Remains in Play.

5. THE CONSUMING GATE Cast on a 14+ The wizard opens a rift in the plane of the nether making his foes flee in terror of the consuming energy. The Consuming Gate is a direct damage spell. Place a large blast template within 12” of the wizard. Any unit touched by the template suffer 1d6+3 Strength 2 hits with no armor saves allowed, in addition the unit must take a panic test. The wizard may choose to make the spell inflict 2d6+6 Strength 2 hits and have the panic test taken with a -1 modifier. If he does so the casting value is increased to 21+.

2. THE ABYSS SINGS Cast on a 7+ The castor opens a portal into the realm of chaos. Sounds that no man can withstand taunt his enemies and force their nerves to strain… The Abyss Sings is a magic missile spell with a range of 12” and causes 2d6 Strength 2 hits with no armor saves allowed. The Wizard may choose to extend the range of this spell to 24” if he does so the casting value is increased to 10+

6. THE DARKNESS DEVOURES Cast on a 15+ The mage calls forth the darkness to fully consume his foes in shear terror, making them collapse in hopeless spasms. The Darkness Devours is a direct damage spell with a range of 12” roll 6d6 and subtract the result by the targets leadership stat. The units suffers this many wounds with no armor saves allowed. The wizard may choose to extend the range of this spell to 24” instead. If he does so the casting value is increased to 20+.

3. THE BLACK CURSE Cast on a 9+ The Wizard saps the courage and will of his opponents making them less eager to fight The Black Curse is a hex spell with a range of 18” the unit is reduced in either S, Ld, or WS by d3 to a minimum of 1. The Wizard may choose to have the spell effect all 3 stats instead. If he does so the casting value is increased to 18+. Remains in Play.

Black Monks The origin of the black monks is, along with much of the story of Solland, a sad tale. One of the surviving Warrior priests from the battle of Sollands crown was present at the sacking of Pfeildorf. There he witnessed such atrocities that he blinded himself out of a madness. The Priest, named Oromus, recovered over the years in the ruins. As people began to flock back to the city he continued to administer to them as their priest. But abandoned his personal connection with Sigmar. All his acolytes did so as well and before long the priesthood of the city was no more, and the Black Monks of Solland were born. Lack of prayers does not mean the Monks are powerless though. In battle they channel the fury of their kinsmen into a unified force. Sometime aiding in commanding of the army with less than savory war cries. They are soldier and servant both, able to do what is required of them

Special Rules: Wave of Steel and Iron Blessing of the Abyss: Any unit joined by a Black monk gains the Devastating charge Special rule. Prayers of Darkness: Black Monks know the five prayers of darkness listed below. Prayers of Darkness are innate bound spells (power level 3). They may be cast on any friendly unit within 12” •For Solland! The unit gains +1 leadership •I've got your back! A character in the same unit and in a challenge may choose to transfer each of his wounds suffered on a 2+ to the monk, this must be done before rolling any saves.

Black Monk

•Sigmar Protects You! The unit gains a 6+ ward save

M WS BS S T W I A Ld 4 6 3 4 4 3 6 4 9

Warcry: At the beginning of the players turn the monk may shout a horrible war cry to encourage his fellow soldiers to battle. The warcry affects an allied Infantry unit within 12" of the monk. On a 2+ the warcry is heard and the unit gains +1 to their movement. on a 1 the unit has not heard or misheard the order and it simply makes loud noise. The cry lasts until the beginning of the next player turn. if any enemy unit is within 12" of the monk the cry is only heard on a 5+ as the battle begins to overpower his shouting.

•For Gerath! The unit counts as having the battle standard bearer in their unit for all purposes (combat resolution and rerolls) •For death and Glory! The unit unbreakable. At the end of every player turn the unit takes d3+1 wounds a turn with saves as normal

Crusader Champions

Those who choose crusading over the path of knighthood tend to end up being killed in foreign lands and many who don't die tend to stop crusading after watching their friends die on unknown soil.

Crusader Champion

There are those, however, who actually like the thrill of crusading. While the crusades were devised as a means to punish failing the trials of the Ritterbrüder, they were also meant as one of the primary means of income for the Order. Plunder is by no small means an encouraging benefit to those who leave on this missions. Some men are just exceptional fighters who have stayed alive in both failed and successful crusades to become quite wealthy.

M WS BS S T W I A Ld 4 6 3 4 4 3 6 4 9

Special Rules:

At first the Order wished to condemn these men. Repeat crusaders were seen as an abuse of the system and were costing the Order money. But after the siege of Lohai in Cathey, where three crusader champions charging into a breach in the wall changed what was a mass route into a charge that baffled and confounded the defenders, the Order had a change of heart.

Wave of Steel and Iron, Frenzy , 6+ ward save, Unbreakable, Hatred (Araby, Tomb Kings, Nippon, Cathey, Ind, Lizardmen, and Amazons) Inspire: any unit with the "Crusader" rule within 3" gains +1 WS. RitterBrüder may never gain this advantage as they despise crusaders.

The Order now allows these Elite crusaders to continue their quests for riches. While the plunder they take for themselves is not unsubstantial, the amount have successful crusades has risen overall, and so both The Order as a whole, and these Elites profit.

The Elite: Crusader champions may never join units.

Order Soldiers The Order does not make use of the standard state troops like the rest of the Empire. Instead they have a smaller, but more heavily armored, core of men. Trained to move quickly while encumbered by the mail, these men can cross the same distance in the same time as a more lightly armored troop. And when the battle lines meet, the soldiers charge in a thundering rush towards their foe. The crash of metal against flesh leads to many foes simply being trampled underfoot and crushed by steel encased feet. Those who are still standing are cut down by halbards or simply turn to run. Soldiers are taught never to fall, for if they do, the metal encased war machine of the Order will not stop.

Special Rules: Crusaders

Conscript Archers When the Order marches off on crusades, it needs a steady supply of food. Without a vast enough land to supply a mobile army, the crusades rely on foraging and hunting in Order to sustain themselves. Thankfully most of the men of Pfeildorf are skilled hunters, and those men with little capability in war are still excellent at providing some rabbit stew for the troops. In battle these men are no true soldiers, but they are still used to harass enemy lines. It is this disruption that makes the powerful charge of the knights hit home all the harder. Should they be attacked they melt back through their own lines and no one thinks worse of them for it. If they should survive, these men are well paid for their service. Archer Sergeant

Pikemen of Tyra The Fortress of Tyra is located deep within the land of Bretonnia, specifically Brionne. While the Order did win the land they have had to defend it from first the Estalians and later the Bretonnians themselves. For this reason the pike has been imported from Tilea and later Estalia to combat the many Knights that roam the land. This adaptation did not come easily as it takes great courage to stand in the face of a charging horse, but the will of the Order is strong. Now Tyra's garrison consist mostly of the giant pikes and all across the Order more and more pikes have been seen as the smaller spears are abandoned. Pikemen Sergeant

M WS BS S T W I A Ld 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 7 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 2 7

Special Rules: Crusaders Pike: Pikes are very long spears, almost twice as long as a normal spear and longer even than a horseman's lance. Pikes require two hands and fight in 3 Extra Ranks. A unit of pike men Strikes at the same time as impact hits. in the initial round of close combat. In addition Models armed with pikes receive a +1 Strength bonus in the Close Combat phase of the turn against anything they are charged by except infantry and swarms. All of these special rules cannot be used against enemy units fighting to the Pikemen's flank or rear.

Macemen of El Doro The Fortress of El doro in Estalia didn’t have to fight any form of knights. Instead its soul purpose was to maintain the subjugation of the nearby city of Azuara. For this purpose they adapted use of the mace as a weapon. They now serve as a main unit of regular Order forces. Pikemen Sergeant

Solland Zealots Zealots are pilgrims who, upon seeing the devastation of their homelands, have taken up arms against the enemies of the empire. while not quite the mindless fanatics that flagellants are, zealots still have a fiery determination to return all the pain and suffering bestowed upon them by their foes. An Order crusade can usually count on being followed by a core of Zealots eager for battle and bloodshed. But should the fighting turn south it is not uncommon for the spirit of vengeance to leave these men and see them run to the hills like like sheep from a wolf. Still, a wise commander remembers the uses of Zealots and they are still a welcome sight on the battlefield.

Special Rules: Sollanders Righteous fury: A model with Righteous Fury has the frenzy, hatred, and stubborn special rules. However after a unit with righteous fury's first round of combat, the unit must take a leadership test on their own leadership at the end of every turn (yours and your opponents), if failed, they lose all the effects of righteous fury.

Pilgrims of Pfeildorf Even after its sack, there are those men of Solland who wish to return to Pfeildorf in order to rebuild and resettle the land. While the city has long since been rebuilt many Sollanders travel the roads leading to and from it. These men trail in the wake of great crusades both for a degree of protection and a sense of unity with the men of the Order. If a battle occurs it is not uncommon for these men to join the Order, though they tend to run at the first sign of defeat. This mutual understanding has lead to the Order taking greater part in the protection of Pfeildorfs roadways. Sometimes even sending armored parties out to clear out the bandits. These actions have helped increase the overall safety of Solland and succeeding in building up the local economy. Pilgrim Sergeant

Pavise-Crossbowmen of Venitzia When the order expanded south into Tilea, they did what they did best. They constructed the Fortress of Venitzia to monitor the realm of Verezzo. However when Miragliano entered Verezzo in 2495 the Order did not have a strong enough garrison to withstand the besieging forces. In a desperate attempt to reinforce the Crossbowmen defending the walls the Order added the Tilean Pavise to their armament. While the adapters of the large wooden shield would not survive the battle, the idea would and after reconquering the fort in 2504 importation of the pavise became a top priority for the order.

Special Rules: Crusaders Pavise: The Pavise is a large heavy shield that grants a 5+ to armor save against missiles, but due to the unwieldy size is unusable in combat. this save can only be gained a turn the unit has not moved unless they pass a leadership test.

Sword Brethren of Solland The warriors of Solland have past down the tradition of dismounting and fighting on foot for many centuries. They have been trained in the ways of Swi-handers and utilize them very proficiently while grouped together in units of sword brethren. Wearing even heavier armor than other members, these monoliths of black-steel create an aura of fear and suspense in those who fight them. More importantly they never run from a battle. Entire units of swordsmen have been cut down against a superior foe rather than give up the field. More recently the Order has established sword brethren units in other provinces but the original concept of the brotherhood originated in Solland and it is there that the greatest swi-handed swordsmen march from

Crusaders The knights who fail the trial of four or who do not succeed in training a pupil are sent on crusades to bring in treasure for the order. If they return with enough to please the order they are allowed to return to the knightly ranks and try again. surprisingly enough, most knights don't wish to continue their training. Preferring the riches and excitement of crusading.

Siege Trebuchets Do to the cost of the armor the Order uses for is soldiers, they cannot afford the cost of implementing gunpowder into their arsenal. While sometimes this can be a costly loss, the Crusade is not without siege weaponry. After the expansion into Britonnia, the Order adapted, like so many other things, use of the Trebuchet. Unlike the adaptions of the past those who began to construct the great stone throwers adapted and expanded upon the original concept. Now large baggage train carrying the disassembled parts of the engine to their destination. Once there the engineers and crewmen carefully unpack and assemble the behemoth. More than twice as large as the Bretonnian variant, these “Siege” Trebuchets can hurl rocks with greater velocity and from distances far greater than that of even an empire cannon (although with only half the accuracy). This increased power can bring down even the mightiest structures and walls or fell the strongest beasts and do to it's incredible range the Crusade can stay safe from retaliation. In crusades against Araby ships are torn apart in order to build the machine but it always ends up

JüngerBruder

HalBruder

To become a member of the RitterBrüder one must advance through the ranks of the sword brethren. If they catch the eye of a HalBrüder then they become his Jünger Bruder or “younger brother” . The HalBrüder teaches his pupil everything he knows, the history of the order, the way of the knight, the mastery of war, and the way to install fear. In battle these knights are encouraged to run forwards and defeat a foe of worth. This helps prove their abilities for advancement. Bruder Captain Warhorse

After passing the Trial of four, the Jüngerbruder are made Halbrüder or “half-brothers” These knights are a match for most of the knightly orders of the empire and Bretonnia. They are the second stage of the Orders knights. When they have successfully trained a pupil they are given the chance to become a Ritterbrüder. Some refuse the honor as its a life oath. Most choose the chance to become one of the fabled dark knights.

FliegenBruder numbered in the thousands, far greater than the several hundred brought by the Crusade. However the Nipponese had began to war with Cathay at that time, and while the Crusade went unnoticed at first do to it's small size, Cathay sent an army against then assuming they were Nipponease, at the same Time Nippon sent an army to deal with what they saw was another Cathay force. Caught in between, the Orders forces were driven to see and never seen again.

FliegenBruder were originally Bretonnian pegasus knights who went throughout the land as soldiers-forhire. Led by the ecstatic young lord Lucius, these men were valued most by trade cogs and galleys. The ability to fly from ship to ship causing havoc made piracy a minor threat to those who can afford such skillful riders. While the Order rarely ever dealt with mercenaries the skills of Lucius' group reached there ears at the start of a great Crusade against Cathay. Wanting to secure more supplies for a longer campaign, as well as have a reliable scouting unit during the shore operations, the Crusade conscripted the band into it's ranks with vague promises of treasure and riches to drive them on.

Lucius' son, Nevros, pledged his lands and his life to the Order in an attempt to locate his father. While his quest has been unsuccessful as of yet, the crusade makes great use of it's new core of Dark Pegasus

The journey to Cathay was relatively peaceful other than an Indish raiding party that attempted to board and capture straggling ships, thanks to the efforts of the Pegasus knights the ships were recovered with thankfully little loss of life, upon landing on the mainland however, things began to pick up speed. Lucius was used to scout out far ahead of the main army, and Cathay's might was

Ritterbrüder The final stage of the orders knights is the Terrifying RitterBrüder. Originally it was tradition in Solland's royalty for their oldest sons to be sent off to learn amongst the fabled dark knights, when Solland fell only a single RitterBrüder remained out of what was once possibly a thousand. This RitterBrüder, named Gerath, was one of the founding members of the Order of Solland and he worked diligently to rebuild it's primary knightly Order. When he died he had succeeded in training no less than ten men into a new generation of the RitterBrüder. Centuries past and the RitterBrüder became strong once again. The Vampire wars in Which The Order played a part of where instrumental in generating a real challenge to could uphold the standards of quality the RitterBrüder set for themselves. As the First great war against Chaos erupted, The RitterBrüder road side by side with Kislev's Bear Cavalry and the Empires Reiksguard at the Siege of Kislev, and together the armies of Asvar Kul are defeated. The aftermath of that war began an event with many names, Kislev calls it the 'Orders Betrayal', the Order calls it 'Darak's Betrayal' and the RitterBrüder call it the 'Beginning of the end'. Darak-kal, A RitterBrüder, was requested to aid the Kislevites in restoring peace to a war-torn nation. At first Darak lead his men with honor. But after uncovering an axe of chaos which possessed with a spirit of the earth, Darak claimed this Terralith and began to slaughter in the lands he had so recently saved. After devestating the Kislevites, The Norse, and even northern lands of the Empire, A skaven army from Hell-pit managed to defeat Darak. For the longest of time, Darak hid in the Borderlands, gaining power he planned to gather a new army and continue his campaign of death.

The Crusade did eventually find and Kill Darak. The Ritterbrüder, Disgusted by his betrayal to chaos, took his helm and the helms of his followers and wore them to taunt the forces of chaos and their dark gods. More modernly the Ritterbrüder are a dieing bread as more and more men turn towards Crusading. But those that remain are stronger than ever. Regular Bruder Dark Rider Dark Horse

Hochmiester Gerath von Greth Ultigen Greth Ultigen was a descendant of Gerath Ultigen, a founder of the Order. As a direct descendant the Order attempted to promote him straight away to a position of command in the council. Greth refused and instead worked his way up through the ranks of the Ritterbrüder like every other member. When Tyra threatened succession the knights decided it was time for more definitive leadership not seen since the original founders and so Greth became the first Hochmiester of the order of Solland for having achieved great prestige and honor for the Order with his previous exploits against Vlad von Carstein. Greth took to his command well and managed to settle the debate over Tyra's independence by instating the "free territories" pact which allowed Tyra to run itself in whatever way it saw fit so long as the Hochmiester still had the power to command its military. Shortly afterward Greth found himself battling Konrad von Carstein in the empire helping to defeat his army of necromancers. Finally at the old age of 78 he resigned his command electing Tolo Dnavo to succeed him. He rode off with any knights who would follow to do battle with Manfred von Carstein and it is uncertain if he died at the Battle of Hel-Finn

Darak-kal the Dark Darak-kal was descendant of a great noble family in the empire. He joined the order at a young age and eventually entered into the ranks of the fabled Ritterbrüder. when the great storm of chaos erupted Darak was in the forefront of the armies charging the chaos lines at Kisliev. Darak was left behind with a unit of knights to help Kisliev defend herself from further intrusions. The Kislievits gave him any land he freed from the marauding forces of evil and so land he acquired. massive amounts of open country and forests. However his constant victories lead him only to seek more conquest and so he lead his men north into the Norse-lands and later the chaos wastes. It was here he found the great axe known as the Terralith. a behemoth with a blade almost more like a halberd. The power of chaos within the axe corrupted Darak and when he returned to Kisliev he began systematically slaughtering everything in his path. He rampaged through the Empire, the Norse-lands, dwarf holds, Kisliev, goblin strongholds and more. He captured and tamed the Black Dragon Onyx and with it rode to war for many decades. however an army of numberless skaven from Hell-pit finally stopped his army and he fled to the border princes. there he spent many centuries trying to build up a force again but was finally rooted out and slain by the order. His dark helm and those of his followers are now worn by the Ritterbrüder in remembrance of this betrayal. Darak Onyx

Roll on the following table for each unit that does. at the start of any following turn of the player the controls him the unit may chose to exchange for another treasure. This may not be done if the unit is in combat or if Willhelm is in combat and any unit that does so may not move the turn it exchanges. 1: nothing, the unit is stupid for the duration of the turn (and counts as having failed their stupidity test) 2: Cathey long sword: these elegant blades allow for greater swordsmanship.

Ind has felt the tread of his boots, Cathey has tasted he edge of his sword, Nippon has known the wrath of his coming. Countless treasures and artifacts have been stolen and he returns countless riches to the order headquarters.

If Willhelm is in the army no RitterBrüder of any type (this includes dismounted and Fliegen) may be taken as well.

Marius, Patriarch of Pfeildorf Marius, while not a member of the order originally, was a priest located in the rebuilding city of Pfeildorf. He lived his life in peace and harmony until the faithful day an orc Waaagh was spotted less than a weeks travel from the struggling community. As the city began an evacuation Marius began to work. he spent hours in the forge smelting iron and hammering at steel until he had fashioned for himself a crude set of armor. Taking up a farmers scythe he began to preach to the men of the city, speaking of the bravery of men and the city itself. Slowly but surely a band of followers crowded around him, until before long he had no less than half the city roaring at his sermons. He gave the common man hope and even managed to convince the mayor to requisition aid rather than flee. As the orc horde approached Marius and the people of Pfeildorf manned the walls with every ranged devise they could muster, and as the sea of green crashed into the walls the men held for three weeks before being forced to retreat into the city itself. Bitter street fighting erupted and people could not run for fear of slipping on the blood washed pavement. Marius himself rallied men at his church and there they held the line on top of a wooden cart. But just as the men prepared to make a final stand horns were heard and the Order of Solland entered the city through secret ways only they knew of. The bewildered orcs, caught between the citizens of the city and the heavily armored foot knights were all but annihilated.

Special Rules: Wave of Steel and Iron

Marius was offered a position of high Marshal in the Order but declined in favor of remaining in Pfeildorf to continue his services as a priest. This would have been the end of Marius military career had he not awoken from a nightmare the next morning. He has never said a word of what transpired in his dream but it is rumored that Eric the young showed him a vision of what would come of a world without his intervention. Marius repaired the cart he had stood on his own, working in grim silence. eventually he brought out the shields of those who had fallen at his side and added them to the woodwork, naming it his "Shrine of the Fallen Saints" this wooden carriage has been pushed from one corner of the old world to the other by the men who defended Pfeildorf, and to this very day Marius can be heard giving sermons to his troops from on top the rickety structure.

Leader of the masses: Any army that has Marius as the general reverses the effect of "Sollanders" and "Crusaders". Meaning that any unit you take with the "Sollander" trait allows you to take a single "Crusader" unit of equal or less models. Crusader units may not be fielded otherwise. Roaring Constitution:Marius commands his men with his booming voice from afar. his men are never unable to hear his orders. Marius' Black monk bound spells; "For Solland!", "Sigmar Protects You!", "For Gerath!", "For Death and Glory!", as well as his Warcry, affect all units within 12" of Marius rather than a single unit. The Book of Solland: this book narrates all the great deeds of the men of Solland, it is her that Marius both recollects past deeds and writes in new ones as he preaches. Marius gets +1 on any attempts to cast Black monk bound spells.

M WS BS S T W I A Ld 4 4 - 5 5 5 - - -

Special Rules:

Moving the Shrine of the Fallen Saints: The unit the Shrine has joined marches, charges, and pursues normally so long as it has at least 10 models. For every model the unit drops below 8, the unit deducts 1" from its move. So, if there were 7 men in the unit, they would have a movement of 3, 6 would have a movement of 2, (etc.). If the unit is reduced to 4 or less models, it cannot move.

Unbreakable, Large Target, Impact hits (d6) Blessing of the Righteous: The Shrine of the Fallen Saints gives Marius a sixth bound spell. "Epic Speech" Bound level 22, all units within 12" gain the "Righteous fury" special rule.

Terrain: The shrine treats terrain as if it were a chariot.

Protection of the Saints: Marius and the Shrine both have a 4+ ward save. in addition, he, the shrine, and his unit all have MR2

Shooting at the Shrine: An enemy can choose to target either the unit pushing the Shrine or the Shrine of the Fallen Saints itself. Hits against the unit are resolved as normal, but hits against the Shrine are randomized - hitting the Shrine on a 1-4 and Marius on a 5-6

Exemplar guard: The Shrine muse be pushed by a unit of "Order Soldiers". This unit gains the "Sollander" trait and loses its "Crusader" trait. It also gains unbreakable but may never leave the Shrine of the Saints for any reason. Other characters may be deployed in this unit but may not leave the unit for any reason, nor may any character join the unit later in the game. Furthermore, the "Order Soldiers" in the unit are veterans of many battles. They may choose to increase their weapon skill by 1 for 1 point per model if they wish.

The Shrine in combat: The Shrine does d6 impact hits when it charges, Marius may attack anyone in base contact with the Shrine. Enemy models in base contact may choose to attack the Shrine or Marius himself. Attacks against the Shrine must roll to hit as normal. The different sized base of the Shrine means some extrapolation must be done to work out the rank bonus. Count the model as the same number of Men that would normally occupy that space (usually 10) Destroying the Shrine If the Shrine itself is destroyed, remove the model and place Marius where it was. He will join the unit. This is the Only way Marius can leave the Shrine of the Fallen Saints.

Arriving in the empire Rath began to enter contests of battle, winning each and every fight without a scratch on his body. The Order welcomed him back into their ranks with open arms and even offered to promote him to the rank of Marshal. Rath refused but continued joining crusades in an effort to find the man who had bested him in battle. Until he does, Rath is truly unstoppable on the field and battle and he carves through men like a hot knife threw butter.

Fangrîr is a hand weapon. in addition it confers +1 to hit. Blademaster: The perfect swordsman, it is said, must be one with his blade, it must be an extension of his body and must never leave his hand. Rath has taken this ideal to the farthest extent, binding his very soul within his sword. Rath may parry even though he does not have a shield.

Rath, Armsman of Solland

In addition, each round of combat Rath participates in increases his adaption to his foe. Each round of a combat after the first, Rath gains +1 to the following stats cumulatively. WS, S, I, A. He also increases his chance to parry. on the second round of combat Rath's parry save becomes a 5+, on the third round a 4+ and so on.

Rath was a fighter. He joined the order for the soul purpose of seeking out an opponent who could best him in battle. Eventually this did come to pass as during a battle in Ind he was defeated by a champion of their people. Taken prisoner, Rath managed to escape and he made his way across Ind back towards the new world. Along the way he met Tash'Timosen, a wandering Nipponease swordsman who he learned new arts and techniques from. As he came into the dwarf holds he forged for himself a new weapon named Fangrîr, "The gods Thumb" which was a mighty longsword that was lighter than most of it's size. Traveling next to Araby to attempt to find a ship to take him to Tilea where he would make his way into the empire. While there he encountered yet another master of blades who told him he must become one with his blade. Rath took a literal meaning to this and seeking out a sorcerer, had his soul transferred into Fangrîr.

Decapitating Strike: Rath has worked long and hard at killing his foes with single elegant blows Rath has the killing blow rule. in addition, he may trade each set of 2 attacks for 1 attack with heroic killing blow. EX, Rath has 5 attacks in his 3rd round of combat. he may trade 4 of them for 2 attacks with the heroic killing blow rule.

The Banner of Lightning: All units within 12" gain +1 movement. He may cast Chain Lightning on a bound level 10 once per game (this does not require dice)

The Tower shield: The great tower shield that Seth created himself was a fantastic success and offers the greatest protection for a battle standard known to men. Seth adds 2 to his armor save against attacks in his front. (for a 3+ armor save) however the massive shield requires that he not fight while holding it.

The Battle Standard of Pfeildorf: All units with the "Sollander" rule are considered to be in range of the Battle Standard for the purposes of re-rolling leadership tests. His unit also gains "Wave of Steel and Iron" even if they would not normally be able to have this rule.

CHOOSEING AN ARMY This army list enables you to turn your miniatures collection into an army ready for tabletop battle. As described in the Warhammer rulebook, the army list is divided into four sections: Characters (including Lords and Heroes), Core Units, Special Units and Rare Units. CHOOSING AN ARMY Every miniature in the Warhammer range has a points cost assigned to it. This reflects how effective the model is on the battlefield. For example, a Order Soldier costs just 6 points while a mighty Hochmeister costs 110 points!

THE GENERAL An army must always include at least one Lord or Hero to be its General. Every army must have a General to lead it into battle. The General represents you on the field he issues the orders that lead to the moves, shots, spells and attacks that your troops make.

Most of the time, both players choose armies to the same agreed points total. You can, of course, spend less points, and you may find it impossible to use up every last point. Most ‘2000 point’ armies, for example, will be something like1,998 or 1,999 points.

MINIMUM THREE UNITS An army must always include at least three units in addition to any Lords and Heroes. An army just isn't an army unless it has plenty of warriors in its ranks.

To form your miniatures into an army, look up the relevant army list entry for the first troop type. This tells you the points cost to add each unit of models to your army and any options or upgrades the unit may have. Then select your next unit, calculate its points cost and so on until you reach the agreed points total. In addition to the points, there are other rules that govern which units you can include in your army, as detailed under Characters and Troops.

ARMY LIST ENTRIES Profiles: The characteristic profiles for the model(s) in each unit is provided as a reminder. Where several profiles are required, these are also given even if they are optional. Unit Sizes: Each entry specifies the minimum size for each unit, which is the smallest number if models needed to form the unit. In some cases, units may also have a maximum size. Equipment: Each entry lists the standard weapons and armor for that unit type. The value of these items is included in the basic points value. Options: Each entry lists any available upgrades to the unit, together with their points cost. Special Rules: Many troops have special rules which are described in their relevant Bestiary entry With the points total agreed, players need to pick their forces using the army list in the relevant Warhammer Armies book, and the system presented here.

UNIT CATEGORIES Each army list divides the forces available into several categories. In a standard game, players are limited as to how many of their points can be spent from any particular category. LORDS You can spend up to 25% of your points on Lords. Lords are the most powerful characters in your army, individuals possessed of fearsome martial or magical might. HEROES You can spend up to 25% of your points on Heroes. Heroes are lesser characters, not as intrinsically deadly as Lords, but still worth a score of ordinary warriors. WIZARDS AND SPELL LORES Some Lords and Heroes are Wizards, and have access to one or more spell lores. Although you won't generate the spells that your Wizards know until you start to play your game you do need to make a note in your army roster of which spell lore each of your Wizards will use. If you have a Wizard that is allowed to choose specific spells, you must select which spells they are at the time you pick your army. CORE UNITS You must spend a minimum of 25% of your points on Core units. Core units are the heart of your army, the iconic troops who make up the bulk of every warband and warhost. Unlike other types of unit, there is no maximum to the proportion of your points that you can spend on Core units.

27

Some Core units do not count towards the minimum points you must spend on Core units (sometimes written as 'do not count towards the minimum number of Core units you must include' or variations thereof) or indeed the minimum number of units you must include in your army. In fact, such units don't count towards any category, just the points value of the army.

Note that this limit applies to the basic troop type and isn't dependent on the size of the unit or optional war gear. Two Units For One Choice Some units are listed as taking up a single choice. As implied, this means that these two units count only as one choice.

SPECIAL UNITS You can spend up to 50% of your points on Special units. Special units are invariably elite troops, capable of anchoring a battleline of lesser warriors, or performing great deeds in their own right.

GRAND ARMY In a grand army, you can include up to 6 duplicate Special choices and 4 duplicate Rare choices. If choosing an army of 3,000 points or more, it is considered to be a 'grand' army, with enough patronage, cash or muscle to get a larger supply of scarce units: up to 6 duplicate Special choices, and up to 4 duplicate Rare choices.

RARE UNITS You can spend up to 25% of your points on Rare units. Rare units are the most unusual warriors in your army, mighty monsters, weird war machines and elite soldiers of unsurpassed skill. Rare units are often fantastically powerful, but often require a canny general to get the most from them.

ARMY SELECTION SUMMARY TABLE You must always include at least three non-character units, plus one Lord or Hero to be your General.

DUPLICATE CHOICES An army cannot contain more than 3 Special choices of the same type and 2 Rare choices of the same type. To further represent the scarce nature of Special and Rare choices there is a limit on how many duplicates of each troop type you can include in your army. This limit applies only to duplicate Special or Rare unit choices of the same type, not to the total number of Special and Rare units overall.
