N GIS 3HY....:I moIresenlS the manner in which vehicles turn, linking speed directly to their abillty to comer. A slowmoving vehicle can tum a very tight comer; a vehicle tr.tvelling fast will inevitably describe a larger turning arc. Any vehicle is allowed to use an arc greater than its current movement if the play~r wishes. Vehicles with a TRR of 'I.t (such as bikes) art very nimble, and can turn tightly whilst travelling at considerable speed. O ther vehicles are cumbersome, and have a TRR that reflects their lack of manoeuvrability.

"TUrning On The Spot A stationary bike may be turned on the spot to face any direction. It is also possible to tum any tracked vehicle or hoverer in the same nrtanner, but the vehicle may only be turned within 90° of its OI:iginaJ direction. Moving Backvvarda Restrict the maxlm,um speed so that It is the same as the vehicle's accldec.

A vehicle which has gone permanently put of control will accelerateldecderate and tum randomly as des.cribed in WH40K (pp39·40) until it either le:tves the table all' comes toa halt . The vchide will then remain stationary.

power field a nd fidd synchroniser rules described in White Dwarf 100 (see Chapter App roved - Dreadnoughts) :l.lso apply to n:hicles. Power Fields. POi,lltS cost 10 each per ' " rad ius. Power Fields of )" r-.adius are ass umed to cover the e ntirety of any small ur medium sized vehicle. A large ve hicle requires a 2" ....Idius fidd . Power Fidds of larger radii may be fitled, costing IOplS fur t:ach extra I " r.adius. A vchicle m:.ly carry several different

shidds. alt hough only one m ay be active al any lime. A Power Field may be lurnc:d OFI o r offat the start of the player's lurn . I! may not be IUrned on or o ff once the vehicle has been rendered immobile as a result o f damage. Once a Power Field b ac tivated a ,'c hicle may not fire weapons through it.

The presenceuf a Power Field arou nd a vehicle does not affect its 1l10vcnlt:nt . nor does it make any difference to the res ult uf ... wllision with another vehicle. The field is designed in suc h a way that it flows around obstacles in its path, otherwise the \·chicle would be in pemlanent coUision with irregularities in the terr,,!n. Power Field Synchronisu. Points cost 10 points each. These an: \~J l uable devil"t~s which :lllow a Power Field to flick off du ring the bridmoment it takes to fire a weapon . If a vehicle ha:. a Powa Field Sync hroniser it may fire weapons during ils OWII shooting phase, even t ho ugh the Power Field is on . Hvwel'cr. to represent the c hance of an enemy shot sne2ki ng through as Ihe field fli cks off, a ny shot against the vehicle in the enemy's following turn will penetrAte the Power Field on Ihe D6 sco re of a 5 or 6 . This does no t d esuoy the field: the shot simply by- passes it during its split second o f inacti vity.

SHIELD PENETRATIDN A.\ described above, a shield is penetrated on the 06 score of a 5 or 6 if it was fired through in the preceding tu rn . Alte rnatively you may divide the turn into s ix 'phases' 1-6. T he player wishing 10 fire a weapon secretly wri tes down the phasc in w hich t:ac h weapon fires. A/ollowitlg/ire we2pon mil y fire over several phases· one shot corresponding to one ph"A.Sc - but may not fire through more than 6 phases. The shield i" d o wn fur all t he I]hases in which the weapon fires. In the enemy's following turn, w hen we:tpons are fired against the shielded vehicle. the p layer must try to gucss the phase written down by the other player. Most weapons e ntitle the player lu one guess. If the guess is correc t, a nd the shot hits, the shield is penetrated . If it's incorrect the shield is hit as nurmal. Players whose weapons have an area effect are emilled 10 tWO guesses to rep resent the spread o f separate imfY.!.c ts at slightly different times. Players with following fire weapons are e mitl ed to one g uess the first time they hit , and each succ t:edin& hit adds I to the original number guessed . So, if your first guess i ~ 3 the second hit will be 4, a third 5, and so on. U a :.hielded veh icle is being fired al by several different allilckcr.., resolve each guess individually but allow the vehicle plilycr [u ch:.mge the nominated phase(s) in between each Of hi:. opponent 's guesses. This is a bit unrealistic, because t he .... capon ca n onl yr~l l y fire in one phase. However, it prevems th e allackt:r nominating s uccessive phases 10 his unfair ad\'amagc - impossible in the heat of battle.

:!

It absorbs any spell cast against its bearer, and the spell therefore has no effect. The spell is, however. retained within the blade, imd the bearer may release it (at no cost 'in Magic Points) duri ng a subsequent Magic Phase.

Only one spell may be retained within the Ibladeatonc: time, but acurrently held spell Imay be supplanted by a second spell al the bearer's discretion.

MAGIC DESTROYER - PIERCING 526-538 MAGIC DESTROYER If Ihis rune-carved blade scores a hil against a creature carrying one or more magical items roll a D6. On a result of 5 or 6 all the magical properties of o ne of the target's magical items are destroyed.

577-589 MIGHT The blood-Ted blade pulses with a life of itsown, and bleeds whenever it is parried. However, the bearer's Strength is increased by three when making attacks with this blade. The Strength of any other attacks made by the bearer is unaffected .

If Ihe target has more than one ite m randomly delermine the object which is affected.

539-551 MAGIC FORCE The blade (a fort:esv.Qrd) pulses with power and is highly attuned to the flow of magical energy. The bearer can expend Magic Poims (if he has any) to increase the sirength of a blow from !.he sword . Each Magic Point ex pended adds +I 10 Ihe Strength of the blow, and also reduces the target's Saving Throw by -1.

552-564 MAGIC REFLECfION Th the uneducated eye the blade is crudely made. poorly finished and rusf)'. Th any form of magicaJ power it is, however. the most perfect of mirrors. The blade can reflect any spell casl at its bearer back at the Wizard who casl it . The spell is only reflected back if the bearer manages 10 roll under his ~apon Skill on 206. The speUcaster suffers the full effects of a reflecled spelJ , although he is e ntitled to a Magic Saving Th row if this is normall y .. the case.

565-576 MAGIC TIflEF If a hit is scored against a crealurecarrying a magical Object this blade can steal the properties of the targefs magic item. Roll a 06: on a result of5 or6 the blade drains all powerS from the target item, bUlthose same powers pass inlo the blade for Ihe remainder of the battle (WFRP: 24 hoUl~) , and may be used by the bearer.

Instead the target's Ld , Int. CI and WP are reduced to zero. The target becomes subject to Stupidit), immediately. and loses all skills.

616-628 NONFLAMMABILITY The blade has a hilt and pommel carved out of solidified lelifS from a writhing victim of the Chaos fires and lomenting Daemons.

It confers on its bearer an immunity 10 all fire based attacks, including Fi,~ &If spells, and Dragon breath .

629-640 PARRY The blade has been created by a weap{lf] master. It may aUlomatically stop one or more opponents' attacks from hilling ils bearer. The decision whether or nOI 10 parry a blOW" need o nly be taken after the 'to hit' die has been Ihrown for me altack. For each blow that is parried the blade 'uses' one of its bearer's Anac/cr. An Attack which has been used to make a parry cannot be used as an anack during me same Hand-tQ-hnlld Combat Phas~,
