===Heroes===

====Jarls and Holdcarls====

[[Image:Jarl.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

Every Nordic hold is ruled by a Jarl. The Jarls are a hereditary nobility, often tracing their lineage back to the time of Ysgramor. Many of the noble clans of Nords have produced Jarls, be it through intermarriage, conquest or direct descent, throughout the ages. Some Jarls are wastrels and fools; others know better, truly understanding that they are meant to lead. Jarls and their most prominent Housecarls, sometimes known as Holdcarls, are thus often found on the field of battle, commanding their people to feats of glory, having spent their entire lives training for war. Wielding the strongest weapons they can, they lead by example as an unstoppable force, first in the charge to cleave their foes asunder, and last in the retreat should the battle run foul. An exemplar Jarl inspires his people who follow him to battle toward similar bravery, through the strength of his own arms.

Jarl: 135 pts

Holdcarl: 100 pts

Hero. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Nord, Single Model. You are limited to 0-1 Jarls in your army. A Jarl or Holdcarl may take a retinue of up to 3 Housecarls, for +20 pts per model. An army containing a Jarl may elect to take a single unit of Honored Veterans as a Core unit if the Jarl is on foot, or Horse-Veterans if he is mounted.

====Thane====

[[Image:Hos thane.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

Thanes serve as the champions of Holds. Once a title given to the finest of a Hold's muster, Thanehood in the age of the Empire often serves as merely an honorary title. Those who earn their title through feats of courage, however, are still found in those Holds that still stand true to the Nordic ways. A Thane's duty is to live a good life in times of peace, and be the figure who leads the Jarl's army in times of war. Regardless of the practicality of their appointment, they are largely independent figures, expected to act with individual initiative and self-reliance in their dealings for the Hold. It is therefore the Thanes who aspire to and often receive the highest battle-honors, who are the epitome of what it means to be Nord warrior.

75 pts

Hero. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Nord, Single Model. You may take up to two Thanes in your army as fourth and fifth Hero choices. No two Thanes in your army may have the exact same combination of equipment, Shouts and upgrades, or of Mighty Deeds. A Thane may take a single Housecarl bodyguard for +20 pts.

25mm x 25mm base.

====Court Wizard====

The use of magic is a subject not without interest in Skyrim. The secretive College of Winterhold provides instruction in the classical magic tradition to any Nords willing to learn such arts. Within the College's walls, dark secrets of Necromancy are often exchanged among wizards and their apprentices. And in the wilds, far from the vestiges of civilization, demon worshipers and hags perform unthinkable and savage rituals. It is from this dangerous abuse of magicka, this black sorcery, that many Nord villagers and common soldiers come to distrust magicians and their trade.

But magic is not without its uses. Every Jarl employs several wizards to provide counsel at his court, granting him access to and basic understanding of the nature of magicka. Court wizards often prefer to be neutral to political issues, especially those occurring between Holds, but it is not without precedent that a wizard might offer or be required to give magical support to his Hold's muster in time of need.

50 pts

0-1 Court Wizard, Thaumaturgist or Wandering Bard may be taken as a Hero choice for each Jarl, Holdcarl or Thane in your army(you may not exceed your allowance of Heroes in this manner). Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Nord, Single Model. A Court Wizard may take a single Housecarl bodyguard for +20 pts.

25mm x 25mm base.

A Court Wizard may be mounted on a Warhorse for +25 pts. If he takes this upgrade, his Housecarl must be mounted as well, for +8 pts.

A Court Wizard may take a Guardian Stone Blessing for +10 pts.

Court Wizards are occasionally recruited from the natives of other provinces, whether they be students at the College or perhaps representatives of the Mage's Guild. A Court Wizard's race may be changed to Imperial for free, to a Breton or a Dunmer for +5 pts, or to an Altmer for +10 pts.

If an Elf race was chosen, he has -1 Strength on his default profile.

A Court Wizard may purchase any number of magic items from the armory where appropriate.


====Housecarls====

[[Image:Beth blog 1.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

The Housecarls form the personal guard of a Hold's nobility. They are a military elite, taken from the finest warriors in the hold, sworn to fight alongside and protect the Jarl and his Thanes.

Housecarls are not Hero choices in their own right, but may be taken as bodyguard upgrades for various models. Infantry, Nord. Unit size and formation are determined by what model they are attached to.

25mm x 25mm base.

Wargear:

Spells:

Special Rules:

Stubborn.

Bodyguard: 

Housecarls are always purchased along with an Independent Character. The Character and his Housecarls function together as a single Independent Character, except while he Character is in a challenge. Housecarls do not have the Precision ability, and cannot Look out Sir!, but may receive Look out Sir! hits, wounds and effects from the character they are protecting. 

A Housecarl adopts the unit size and formation of the unit he is attached to, and always functions as part of the Independent Character he is attached to(while remaining a separate model), with the exceptions described above. He does not benefit from the Mighty Deeds of the character he is attached to, other than Fight All Our Lives, Out of the Mists, and Sudden and Deadly. If the character he is attached to is a Bard, he still benefits from his Songs.

Any number of Housecarls may replace their Hand Weapon with:

*Spear +2 pts per model

Any number of Housecarls may replace both hands with:

*Great Weapon or Poleaxe +6 pts per model

*Bow or Short Bow +2 pts per model

Each Housecarl may take up to 15 points of magic items from the armory where appropriate.

===Core===

====Hold Guard====

[[Image:Hold guard.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

Hold Guard are the common watchmen of Skyrim's cities and villages. The guards of Skyrim's towns are the first to be called upon in war; where they enforce laws and catch petty thieves in times of peace, they are ever prepared to raise their swords in times of war. The Hold Guard consist of a motly assortment of young men aspiring to make a name for themselves, conscripted thugs, burly farmers sharpening their pitchforks into spears, battle veterans recovering from knee injuries, and officials sent to uphold the Jarl's peace among the settlements. But whatever their background, they are all common folk already toughened by their past lives, ready to fight and earn a place in Sovngarde at a moment's call.

8 pts per model. Core. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Nord. 10-20 models per unit. 

25mm x 25mm base.

====Huntsmen====

Many Nords of Skyrim are drawn to the dangerous wilds at an early age. They live a simple life, as hunters, poachers, or serving as the Jarl's foresters. Skilled archers are a powerful tool in battle, as from the folk of the backwoods come the bravest and hardiest lot in all of Skyrim. It is thus a common sight for a company of archers to be recruited from these rugged individuals.

9 pts per model. Core. Skirmish, Infantry, Nord. 5-15 models per unit.

25mm x 25mm base.

===Elite===


====Honored Veterans====

The ranks of the armies of every Hold do not merely consist of commoners and watchmen called to war by the law of the fyrd, but also of the Jarl's own army, skilled warriors who have seen countless years of battle, yet have not yet reached the fated day when Shor's battle-wives choose them to join the slain in Sovngarde. These men are the core of a Jarl's forces, bands of brave men and fearsome berserkers who wear the scars and trophies of many victories. The warrior spirit of the Nords truly burns within their hearts.

[[Image:Beth blog 6.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

15 pts per model. Elite. Infantry, Nord. 10-20 models per unit. You may choose to deploy a unit of Honored Veterans in ranks or in Skirmish formation.

The models must reform into the coherency allowable by the new formation.

====Warrior Clans====

The wilds of Skyrim are a harsh place, yet many strong individuals stand against them. Mercenaries, outlaws, bands of adventurers, or ancient families devoted to war for generations form the many Warrior Clans of Skyrim. These bands of fighters are not always linked to a particular Jarl, but rather fight free-lance, serving whichever great man or cause they wish to serve, as the winds blow.

9 pts per model. Elite. Infantry, Skirmish, Nord. 5-20 models per unit.

25mm x 25mm base.

====Horse-Veterans====

The many honored warriors of a Hold need not rely on fighting on foot. It is a common sight for a Jarl and the great men of his hall to take to the field upon tall steeds, combining the speed and brawn of their horses with their own wit and valor. Those Northmen adept at the art of riding are truly a sight to behold, swiftly overpowering the foe with great ferocity; for in an age of strength and steel, battles are won and lost by the skill of the horsemen.

===Support===


====Hold Riders====

The outriders of a Hold are experienced fieldsmen, trackers and mountaineers. Their skill riding their steeds through the snow and tundra is as useful on the battlefield as it is during the hunt. Hold Riders outmaneuver their foes through the fast traversing of the roughest of terrain, scouting the areas ahead for their lords, or else charging their foe and routing them in the blink of an eye.

15 pts per model. Support. Skirmish, Fast Cavalry, Nord. 5-15 models per unit. Hold Riders may only be joined by Independent Characters mounted on horses.

25mm x 50mm base.

====Wandering Bard====

To be a Bard of Skyrim is an art and an honor. Trained by master musicians, often at the Bard's College of Solitude, it is the task of these minstrels to sing the sagas of past heroes. In battle, they provide companionship, mirth and inspiration to those around them. Some Bards are payed to sing at the court of a Jarl, or hired by innkeepers and traders to entertain their customers. Others wander the land, singing songs as they go for those with the coin, all while wooing fair maidens and dispatching brigands and monsters with a blade kept close at hand. Some call them vagabonds, and seek to reign in their exploits; others see them as adventurers of the finest sort, and have no qualms in seeking their assistance in battle.

26 pts per model. 

0-1 Court Wizard, Thaumaturgist or Wandering Bard may be taken as a Hero choice for each Jarl, Holdcarl or Thane in your army(you may not exceed your allowance of Heroes in this manner). Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Nord. Single Model.

====Thaumaturgist====

The villages of Skyrim are rural settlements, their people vulnerable to disease and injury from all the dangers of the land. It is the profession of the wizards living in those villages, trained in the art of magicka yet not corrupted by promises of dark power, to render assistance to farmers, smiths and watchmen through the sale of salves, potions and services in healing. By no means are they as skilled as the alchemists of great cities, as priests of the Divines or as Imperial physicians, but their skill is invaluable in times of need. These village healers, if conscripted, save many lives of their fellow soldiers on the battlefield.

====Tongue====

For centuries, the power of the Thu'um was the most powerful weapon of the Nords. Many aspiring heroes of the Hold, or wise sages, would shout their enemies to death, and with their breath shatter the gates of cities. It was these Tongues that truly brought fear into the hearts of Skyrim's foes, and countless sagas relate the deeds of ancient heroes and their deadly Shouts. It was only under Jurgen Windcaller that the Tongues became restrained, practicing their art as a monastic discipline rather than as a weapon. The sight of the Tongues upon the battlefield is a fading tale, as fewer and fewer of the pupils of the Greybeards dare to use the Way of the Voice as a weapon. But when a Tongue appears, it is truly awe-inspiring, as the fabrics of Mundus are warped to the mighty words in his breath.

====Catapult====

Although the Tongues have often served as the traditional siege weapon of the Nords, their armies are not without conventional catapults as well. Although crude by the standards of the devices of many other lands, their construction is simple, durable and efficient. It is with these weapons that the walls of cities are broken, followed by the great hosts of the North flooding in through the rubble. Such weapons can also be used on occasion on the battlefield, being able to obliterate lines of infantry if placed in the right location.

80 pts per artillery. Skirmish, Artillery, Nord(crew). 1 to 3 artillery per unit.

Crew: 3 Crewmen per Catapult

Wargear: Hand Weapon, Light Mail

Special Rules:

Catapult: Catapults are made up of crew and the actual artillery piece, with oncoming ranged attacks being split between the two(see rules for artillery in the Scrollhammer rulebook). The Catapult artillery model may not move, only pivot, and requires at least one crewman to make use of the special shooting attack. If a Catapult unit is forced to Fall Back while not locked in combat, and contains one or more artillery pieces, instead remove an artillery piece as a casualty.

Catapults fire with the following profile:

Move or Fire 1, Blast, Barrage, 12" to 96" range. All hits where a model's base is completely under the blast marker are resolved at S8 AP2, Multiple Wounds(d3). All hits where a model's base partially under the blast marker are resolved at S4 AP0. A Catapult always strikes buildings at Strength 8 AP2, and rolls 3d6 for armor penetration against them.

Mechanical: The Catapult model is Immune to Poison and Immune to Disease. 

The Crewmen are Stubborn.

===Special Characters===


====Jarl Olaf One-Eye of Whiterun====

In the latter years of the War of Succession, a one-eyed hero, Olaf by name, arose in the city of Whiterun. For as the Holds of Skyrim battled one another, the great Dragon Numinex terrorized the land. Olaf went forth, and according to his boasts, challenged the wyrm to single combat. With the power of the Thu'um, he cast the Dragon to the ground, and smote it many times with his great axe. The Dragon bowed to him as the victor, and Olaf gathered his men to shackle the sky-serpent. Into the Great Porch of the castle atop Whiterun they dragged the great monster, and there held it as a captive. Ever since that day, that keep was known as Dragonsreach.

Either by the glory of this deed, or by an earlier dealing, Olaf became Jarl of Whiterun Hold. He used his capture and imprisonment of dread Numinex to prove to the other Jarls his greatness. A council was declared, the Moot of Skyrim, at which Olaf persuaded the warring Jarls to cease their feud and name him High King. So it came to be that this great warrior became the ruler of all the men of the North.

The people of the north-western parts of Skyrim, of Solitude town and the forests of Haafingar, saw him still as a usurper. He made them kneel in submission, but secret slanders were exchanged among the people of Haafingar. A notable Bard wrote a verse accusing the Jarl of cowardice, of capturing Numinex while the Dragon was wounded, and stealing glory that was rightfully anothers. This verse was censored as sedition by Olaf's courts and councilors, but the legend of it still endured. Ever since his reign, the Bards' College in Solitude has burned Olaf in effigy for these abuses at the festival for the admission of new scholars and musicians.

But in Whiterun, Olaf was beloved. When Numinex met eventual death, his skull was displayed above the Jarl's throne, irrefutable proof of the existence of the Dragons that once ruled the skies and terrorized the land, for all generations to come.

====Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak of Eastmarch====

In the dark days of the Fourth Era, as the Thalmor-led Aldmeri Dominion rose to crush the Empire, a young prince of Skyrim pledged his sword to the cause of Talos, to defend the realm of his forefathers. Ulfric was his name, son of the Jarl of the East March. He fought long in the defense of Cyrodiil in a Nordic regiment of the Imperial Legion but met defeat in battle. He was held for many months a captive of the Elves, tortured by the Altmer agent Elenwen for information. There he was deceived into believing that the words forced from his mouth caused the Imperial City to fall to the Thalmor, not knowing that it had fallen and had been subsequently retaken. He was allowed to escape at this point, that discontent might be spread throughout the Empire.

After his release, Ulfric learned of the banishment of the worship of Talos, and the humiliation of the Empire at the hands of the elves. Swearing that he might strive to be a man worthy of his ancestors, he ascended the Seven Thousand Steps along the slopes of the Throat of the World, and atop the great mountain, at the monastery of High Hrothgar, spent many years learning the Way of the Voice from the Greybeards. But once his soul had grasped the Thu'um, he left the monastery, scorning the teachings of the Greybeards in favor of using the Thu'um as a weapon in the name of Talos. Crowned Jarl following the passing of his father, he offered the aid of his armies to Jarl Igmund of the Western Reach against the Witch-Men of the hills, who several years before had seized the city of Markarth and slain Igmund's father. The one condition for his aid to Igmund was that the Reach might become a sanctuary for the worship of Talos. Igmund accepted this offer, and with the Thu'um Ulfric shouted the barbarian invaders from the walls of Markarth and reclaimed it in the name of Talos. But Igmund, fearing the retaliation of the Thalmor and their allies in the Imperial government, denied the free worship of Talos in Markarth, and the great war-god's chapel renamed but an abandoned chamber.

So Ulfric returned in sorrow to Windhelm, never forgetting that the throne he sat upon was the same upon which great Ysgramor once reigned. There he found himself with two choices; submitting his beliefs and his way of life to the lies of Elves, or abandoning the Empire he once fought for, rising up against the Thalmor where the Emperor and his weighty assortment of bureaucrats and corrupt politicians would not. He chose the latter.

Mustering the strength of his fathers, Ulfric rode to Solitude, and declared a rebellion against the young, Empire-supporting High King Torygg. He challenged Torygg to combat by champion, that the loyalty of Skyrim might be settled there and then. Torygg, in an act of bravery worth a place in Sovngarde, accepted the duel, and fell before Ulfric's shout and his sword. Ulfric fled the city, leaving it in the hands of Torygg's widow. Accused of murder and treason for this deed, those who assisted him in this act within Solitude's walls were put to death, and the hearts of those loyal to Cyrodiil to the end were turned against him.

Upon his return to Windhelm, Ulfric declared all of Skyrim a separate kingdom from the Empire, under his rule. All the Jarls of the east of Skyrim swore oaths of allegiance to him, but those of the west, Igmund and Torygg's widow included, remained loyal to the Empire. Only Balgruuf the Greater, the good Jarl of Whiterun, remained neutral at this time, supporting the Empire in name while tacitly allowing the worship of Talos within his city. Ulfric's incredible leadership and strength saw the Imperial legion dealt crippling blows and nearly sent from the province, until The Empire sent General Tullius and the Fourth Legion against him, to put his rebellion down, but many Nord warriors flocked still to his ranks, seeking to fight to restore the worship of Talos.

Ulfric has never been without both friends and enemies in every Hold. There are many Nords in Skyrim who praise his great name and know him to be a selfless hero and true defender of the Nordic way of life. There are those yet devoted to the Empire who think him as a cruel barbarian warlord who seeks only to crown himself king. But none doubt his ferocity in battle and his skill as a general and a leader of men.

====Galmar Stone-Fist====

[[Image:Skyrim ulfric and galmar.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

Of the men of Windhelm fighting in Ulfric's rebellion, Galmar Stone-Fist stands among the most loyal. Both a cunning tactician and a huge warrior, this elevated Housecarl has served as the second in command to Ulfric since the rebellion began.

Although born into a prominent clan in Windhelm, Galmar chose not to engage in the corruption found in many other wealthy clans of Skyrim, and nor did he choose the life of a drunken troublemaker like his brother Rolff. Rather, he forged a legacy in battle, a young warrior seeking to live up to the legacy of the honored dead in Sovngarde. Known well by the Imperial Legion, like his liege lord Ulfric he came to see the Empire as only a husk of what Talos made it, and after many trials swore to allow the Thalmor to persecute Nords in their own land for too long. His faith in Talos and his loyalty to the Nordic way of life exceeds that of even Ulfric; plain-spoken and strong-willed, his passion grants him strength, if it might one day be his undoing. Galmar Stone-Fist stands as the exemplar of all that the Stormcloaks, and all Nords in general, stand for.

Hero. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Nord, Single Model. Galmar may be taken as a replacement for a Holdcarl. He may take a retinue of up to 3 Housecarls, for +20 pts per model.

====Hrormir and Darfang, Champions of Evensnow====

Among the ancient sagas of the North tell of two great champions of a forgotten age, Hrormir and Darfang, of the age of the dark winters when Man struggled against Elf. It was in this age that magic was respected by all as a warrior art, before the College of Winterhold and the wilds became filled with necromancy and brigandry. Hero of the lost realm of Evensnow, the greatest swordsman in the land, Darfang, was seduced by dark powers, enslaved in mind and body. The wild, wenching wizard, Hrormir, went forth into the snow and reclaimed his friend from the sorcery that bound him. As he sought to free his boon companion, he became the lover of Nocturnal, goddess of thieves, and was given the magic of the shadow at his beck and call. His deeds were forever remembered in a great
ballad, and his Icestaff was in later eras held as a relic of the Mage's Guild.

====The Companions of Ysgramor====

After the Return, the warriors of Ysgramor settled around the mythic Skyforge, deep in the heart of the land. Naming their mead hall Jorvasskr in honor of Ysgramor's ship, they served as defenders of Skyrim and her people ever since. Through four eras, they have endured in one form or another, and their fame spans over all the Holds.

The forms they have taken have been for good or for ill. In days of old, they pledged themselves as warriors for one Hold or another; when Companion slaughtered Companion during the Wars of Succession, they agreed to not to involve themselves in feuds between Jarls in future eras. Instead, they serve as mediators in personal disputes and bounty hunters, whenever they are not defending Skyrim's people from wild beasts, Orcs, Giants, outside invaders. Armed with the mightiest steel of the Skyforge, crafted by the finest smiths in the land, the Companions are truly a sight to behold.

Ever since the passing of Ysgramor to Sovngarde, the Companions have never had a true leader. Every Companion is free to ultimately choose his path in life. Troubles within the organization are resolved by the Circle, the experienced champions. The worthiest of the Circle, the Harbinger, acts as the moral guide to the band, but even the newest blood may dispute his orders. The warriors of Companions for this reason dispense with all honorifics in their addresses and speeches, only referring to one another as brothers in arms.

In the Third Era, the Companions fell into a life of brigandry and dishonor. The name of Ysgramor was shamed by their deeds. But those few in their number still seeking honor gathered in secret, and returned to Jorvasskr to bring the corrupt Harbinger and his lackeys to justice. This action was met by violence, and many Companions spilled the blood of their brothers, but every criminal in the order was slain or driven out that day. Ever since, the Companions have sought to reclaim their lost honor, to find the lost Shield of Ysgramor, and to regain the pieces of his mighty axe Wuuthrad, long since scattered across the land.

A recent action of the Companions in their quest for glory has proven both a blessing and a curse; the blood of Hircine, God of the Hunt. For when the Glenmoril Coven, a band of foul witches, promised power to a hapless Harbinger late in the Third Era, he accepted, not knowing what would befall him and his Circle. For as each of them partook in a dark ritual with the witches, each of them transformed into a great wolf, and set upon their foes not in honorable battle but in ruthless savagery. Even as they recovered and returned to the human shape, half of the spirit of each warrior remained in the lupine aspect, able to transform again at will. Many sought to use this power in secret, for noble purposes; others found themselves unable to control this power, transforming in times of great bloodlust or at the height of the moons, tearing their foes to pieces and devouring their flesh. Every warrior of the Circle has since this day joined the ranks of the Hounds of Hircine, but many with regrets; for all who bear the Beast Blood are tied to the hunt, not to the path of Shor, and so must spend eternity not in Sovngarde, but in the great Hunting Grounds.

The sight of such a mythic weapon, reforged after millennia, causes all friendly units from this army book within 6" of wielder to become Fearless. +48 points.

Spells: None

Special Rules:

Character. The Harbinger is a Special Character, and so only one may be taken. Immune to Disease.

Mighty Deeds: In addition, each Circle Champion and the Harbinger must also take of the following Mighty Deeds: Battle Rage, Cleaving Blows, Skilled Hunter, Feller of Giants, Resilience, Shield Brothers(these Mighty Deeds only apply to them individually, not to the entire unit).

Battle-Prowess: Each Circle Champion and the Harbinger may take Skilled Fighter for +3 pts, Deadeye for +6 pts, or Legendary Fury for +10 pts. (See the Warrior Clans rules for further details). These upgrades only apply to the model purchasing them, not to the entire unit.

The Beast Blood: Once per game, at the beginning of your movement phase, if there are no Independent Characters (other than the Dovahkiin) attached to a unit of Companions, and no other friendly or allied units within 6" of a unit of the Companions, all Circle Champions and the Harbinger in the unit may call upon the power of Hircine. In a span of mere seconds, their bodies undergo a terrible transformation, from men into great savage wolves. While in this form, they use the Wolf Form profile rather than their own, and bear no wargear. \

Replace each model in Wolf Form with a more appropriate model if you wish; note that models in Wolf Form are mounted on 40mm x 40mm bases. At the end of each of your turns, if a model in Wolf Form has not slain a model, return that model to his normal profile, with all his previous wargear and abilities. No Independent Character (other than the Dovahkiin) can join a unit of Companions with one or more models currently in Wolf Form.

'''Wolf Form'''

Beasts, Skirmish, Werewolf.

None

Spells:
None

Special Rules:

Fearless, Rending, Causes Terror

Hircine's Blessing: This model is Ethereal, but the Ward Save granted against mundane attacks is only 6+.

Controlled Savagery:
To enter the shape of a wolf is to endanger one's sanity, to subject oneself to the rage of a mindless killer. As each model that enters Wolf Form, that model must take a Leadership test on its own value. If that model fails, it gains Frenzied and Bestial Instinct, and if any of its attacks miss in close combat, you must instead allocate them to a non-Werewolf model in the same unit as the model that failed the Leadership check. These rules apply for as long as the model remains in Wolf Form. It cannot be shaken from its Frenzied state by any means other than leaving Wolf Form. If the Leadership check is passed, however, the model instead may continue to use its Mighty Deeds and Battle Prowess while in Wolf Form.


====The Dawnguard====

The Dawnguard are an order of vampire hunters whose named reached legend in Skyrim during their heyday. When the adventurous son of the Jarl of the southern Hold of Riften was infected with vampirism, he was unable to control his desire to drink the blood of the living. With great sorrow, the Jarl ordered him to be held under house arrest in a fortress near the border between the Rift and the land of the Dark Elves of Redoran. The Dawnguard were formed to protect this youth, and to protect any others who might from further predations of the undead. 

The vampiric prince attempted an escape, and died in the process. The order began to lose favor at this point, and became more and more desperate in its methods. After several generations, the Dawnguard no longer held any righteousness at all in its cause, using the prison fortress as a base for leading raids against innocents to be robbed and tortured. The Dawnguard, having indulged in the tyranny it once sought to destroy, were eventually disbanded, sinking into outlawry.

In the Fourth Era, however, the Dawnguard were reformed. Vampires had begun a resurgence, each clan openly attacking travelers and villages, the most dangerous of them even plotting to blot out the sun itself. As the Vigilants of Stendarr fell against this rising menace, the strongest blades and brightest minds in Skyrim congregated under the old banner of the Dawnguard, to make a final stand against the night.

14 pts per Dawnguard model

Elite. Infantry, Skirmish, Nord. 5-20 Dawnguard(including Captain) per unit, plus 0-1 Battle-Trolls for every 10 Dawnguard. Battle-Trolls are Beasts, and are not Nords. You may take 0-1 units of the Dawnguard as a unique Warrior Clan in your army.

====The Dovahkiin====

[[Image:Dovahkiin vs alduin.jpg|thumb|500px|right]]

In the dark and song-barren days of the Fourth Era, when Nords shed their brothers' blood, as worshipers of Talos disappear in the night, a doom far more dire came upon the land. For the End Times had begun; the black-spined Dragon, Alduin World-Eater, Bane of Kings, Devourer of Souls, had returned, and every day Shouted awake a the dead Dragon of old. While Nords fought over Talos, all were united in their terror of the coming of the Dragons. All who knew that Alduin himself had returned knew that the final battle was nigh, that all would perish beneath Time itself, their souls reduced to long-forgotten nothingness.

But just as the Elder Scrolls foretold that Alduin would return in this age of conflict, so they also predicted the coming of the Last Dragonborn, Dovahkiin in the tongue of the Dragons. For he alone bore the mantle of Shor's ghost, and mastered the Thu'um as weapon and a tool, a free gift of Akatosh. A man in shell, but a Dragon in spirit, the Dovahkiin discovered his true nature when he saved the city of Whiterun from the Dragon Mirmulnir. As the beast fell before him, the power of its timeless soul was revealed to the Dovahkiin, stolen that this mortal warrior might learn the Thu'um from it.

The Storm Voice in his breath, the Dovahkiin ascended the Seven Thousand Steps, meeting with the Greybeards on the Throat of the World. Here he was proclaimed Ysmir, Dragon of the North, in the old Nordic way, his Dragon's soul meeting and swallowing the Shouts of the Greybeards that battered his mortal husk. He lent his hand to the ongoing war, but throughout it all battled the Thalmor in search of the answers toward the return of the Dragons. He learned nothing from the Elves, however; but with the remnants of the scattered Blades, the Dragonguard of the old emperors, he learned the truth of Alduin and of the end. Through the power of the Elder Scrolls, he learned the old Shout by which Alduin had been torn from the sky long ago. He bested Alduin, but the World-Eater retreated high into the mountains, to Sovngarde, to eat the souls of the newly fallen.

In pursuit, the Dovahkiin called forth the dragon Odahviing, and bested him as well, imprisoning him in Dragonsreach as Olaf One-Eye had done long ago. Odahviing judged the Dovahkiin worthy, and offered to grant him a chance to battle Alduin once more. Odahviing was freed, and upon his back the Dovahkiin rode to high Skuldafn. There he battled the ancient Dragon Cult, arisen in cursed undeath, and through an Aetherial gate journeyed to Sovngarde.

Among the heroes of Sovngarde he feasted, but his still-living eyes could not comprehend the true power of Shor, beyond that which dwelt within him. Gathering the ghosts of the Tongues who had banished Alduin long ago, he charged out of the gates of the Hall of Valor, and before the eyes of Shor and Tsun themselves shouted Alduin into ashes. Time dwelt within his soul, and through his strength the doom of the world was averted.

Many are the other legends of the Dovahkiin, of deeds both great and small. All of them tell one tale; that of the valor of one hero in a sorrowful age, of a hero of even Ysgramor's stature. For even in an hour when all was lost, when the great men of old were all fallen, a warrior blessed with the power to change fate still came forth, and with the Thu'um sang the sagas of the future.

260 pts for the Hero of Skyrim profile.

145 pts for the Thane of Whiterun profile.

Hero. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry, Nord, Single Model. The Dovahkiin holds the place of a Thane in your army. His combinations of wargear, abilities, shouts and Mighty Deeds do not prevent other Thanes from having the same combinations. The Dovahkiin may take a single Housecarl bodyguard for +20 pts.

The Dovahkiin may be a common race other than a Nord. If this is chosen, his rules are altered: see below.

The Dovahkiin removes your army's 0-1 restriction on the Companions of Ysgramor and the Dawnguard. You may still only have one Harbinger in your army, however, if your army contains the Companions.

You may choose for the Dovahkiin to count as two Core choices in addition to a hero choice. If this option is taken, your army may take no other choices, except for Odahviing, Housecarls and one other Hero choice.

The Dovahkiin has two profiles and sets of special rules, each representing a different stage of his rise to glory. The Thane of Whiterun profile represents the Dovahkiin as a wandering hero, whose innate powers have only recently been discovered. The Hero of Skyrim profile represents the Dovahkiin at the peak of his might, at the time around when he traveled to Sovngarde itself to vanquish the great dragon Alduin World-Eater.

Shouts:

JOOR ZAH FRUL! 

''Mortal''-''Finite''-'''Temporary''' 

Dragonrend: In the age of Alduin's tyranny, the Shout Dragonrend was crafted not by Dragons but by mortals. Turning the Dragons' own power over time and reality against them, the Shout Dragonrend forces a Dragon's soul to glimpse mortal, if only for a brief moment. The Dragon's powers are drained, and it falls to the ground, feeling a fear that it could never have imagined before. It is only with the secret of this Shout that the Dovahkiin was able to stand as an equal against dread Alduin.

This Shout may be used at the beginning of any movement phase, and targets a Dragon within 24" and Line of Sight of the Dovahkiin. That Dragon takes a S5AP0 hit, and may not use Hit and Run, march or Fly until the end of next turn. In addition, it is reduced to Initiative 1 and must take Shout tests to use its Shouts, until the end of next turn. If it fails the Shout test, it may not use Shouts while under the effect of Dragonrend for the rest of the game..

Cooldown 1.


HUN KAAL ZOOR!

''Hero''-''Champion''-''Legend''

Call of Valor: It was in the mists of Sovngarde itself, at the gates of the Hall of Shor high in Aetherius, that the Dovahkiin challenged Alduin on the eve of the dragon's victory. At his side fought three heroes of old, the very ones who had created the Shout Dragonrend, and banished Alduin into to the strands of time aeons ago. It was then that Alduin fell by the hands of these four heroes. The god Tsun, Shield-Thane of Shor, granted these three heroes the power to one day return to Mundus for a short time, that they might aid the Dovahkiin should the need be dire. When the Dovahkiin shouts the Call of Valor, one of the three heroes is summoned to fight at his side once more.

This Shout may be used at the beginning of any movement phase. Until the end of next turn, the spirit of an honored hero is called upon to fight by the side of the Dovahkiin; that hero grants the Dovahkiin additional special rules until the end of next turn. Choose the hero each time you use the Shout:

Gormlaith Golden-Hilt: The shield-maiden Gormlaith grants the Dovahkiin Frenzy, Fearless, and makes 4 attacks at Strength 5 AP1 magic damage Initiative 4 each round of combat; these attacks count as coming from the Dovahkiin's model, but are made separately, not using his profile or equipment.

Felldir the Old: It was Felldir the Old, gifted in magic, who used the Elder Scroll to seal Alduin away in time until the Fourth Era. Calling upon Felldir immediately grants the Dovahkiin 3 Power Dice, and elemental weapons(including spells) used by the Dovahkiin strike at +1 Strength. Felldir makes 2 attacks at S6 AP1 magic damageInitiative 3 Critical Strike each round of combat; these attacks count as coming from the Dovahkiin's model, but are made separately, not using his profile or equipment.

It's Coming from Above!: Odahviing lurks in his eyrie, or else wanders the skies, until called to battle by the Dovahkiin. Odahviing always arrives by Deep Strike. If while arriving in this manner Odahviing would land on a friendly model, or land on an enemy unit, or land on impassable(or lethal) terrain, shorten the distance he scatters to place him as close as possible to that model, unit or terrain without triggering a mishap( or landing in lethal terrain).

Serve the Strongest: Odahviing will only pledge his aid to the warrior with the mightiest Thu'um in the world; after the fall of Alduin, this happens to be the Dovahkiin. If the Dovahkiin is removed as a casualty, remove Odahviing from the game as a casualty as well; his service is fulfilled.

Shouts:

Unrelenting Force, Swallow Shout, Fire Breath, Frost Breath, Clear Skies
