Allegiance Abilities

Battle Traits

If your army has Beastclaw Raiders Allegiance and chooses to take the Beastclaw Raiders Allegiance abilities, it has the following rules:

Beastclaw Raiders models re-roll to Wound rolls of 1 when Charging.
Everwinter's Blessing: In each hero phase you roll a dice and gain the corresponding effect:

On a D6 Roll of a 1-2: All Beastclaw Raiders models can re-roll Save rolls of 1.
On a D6 Roll of a 3-4: All Beastclaw Raiders models can immediately make a 3" Move.
On a D6 Roll of a 5: Roll a D6 for every enemy unit within 3" of a Beastclaw Raiders model. On a roll of a 6 the unit being rolled for takes D3 Mortal Wounds.
On a D6 Roll of a 6: Roll a D6 for every enemy unit within 3" of a Beastclaw Raiders model. On a roll of a 6 the unit being rolled for takes D6 Mortal Wounds.

Command Traits

The General of an army which has a Beastclaw Raiders Allegiance and has chosen to take the Beastclaw Raiders Allegiance abilities can choose one of the following Command Traits:

Massive Bulk: General gets 1 extra wound.
Everwinter's Master: As long as the General is alive, you can Re-roll the Everwinter's Blessing (See above).
Avalanche Voice: The range of the General's Command Ability is increased by 8".
Famed Hunter: The General can Re-roll every To Hit roll of 1 Aapplies only to his weapons and not to the mounts).
Beast-eater: The General Re-rolls every failed Wound roll against models with the Monster keyword.
Fearsome Leader: Every enemy unit within 3" from the General gets -1 Bravery.

Magical Artefacts

One Hero in an army which has a Beastclaw Raiders Allegiance and has chosen to take the Beastclaw Raiders Allegiance abilities, plus one Hero for every Battalion selected, can choose one of the following Magical Artifacts:

Elixir of Frostwyrm: In each Shooting Phase, pick a unit within 9" from the bearer, on a D6 roll of a 2+, it suffers Mortal Wounds (1 if you rolled a 2-3. D3 if you rolled a 4-5, D6 if you rolled a 6). If you roll a 1, the bearer suffers a Mortal Wound and can't use this Magical Artifact anymore.
The Bleeding Skull of Dragaar: The bearer can Unbind a single Spell in each turn.
The Pelt of Charngar: The bearer heals a Wound in each Hero Phase (D3 on a 4+ roll)
Blade of All-Frost: One of the bearer's weapons deals 1 extra Damage, and if it damages a model with the Hero or Monster keywords then that model can't attack until all the other units in the army have.
Tokens of the Everwinter: One use only. Bearer Re-rolls every To Hit, To Wound and Save roll until the next Hero Phase. (Due to GHB2017 this Magical Artifact only works on the rider, not the mount).
Ice Mammoth Skull Plate: Bearer can Re-roll Save rolls against Attacks with no (-) Rend.

Warscrolls

Common keywords in these Warscrolls are Destruction and Beastclaw Raiders. Most units also have the Ogor keyword, except for Frost Sabres and Icefall Yhetees.

Leaders

Icebrow Hunter: Our only unmounted Ogor in the faction. He is still nimble compared to other factions Hero units, getting a Movement value of 6", so not slow at any rate, he gets a Culling Club as his only melee weapon and it's decent for a no (-) Rend weapon, getting 2 Damage makes up for that, but the real cool thing is his Great Throwing Spear, not only is it a good shooting weapon, but if the Hunter runs he can shoot it in the same turn with doubled range and deal D6 Wounds instead of D3. He can also take the Hunter's Crossbow, that is basically the Great Throwing Spear but with slightly more range and no (-) Rend, but it doesn't replace it. Also, instead of his regular shooting weapons he can use his Ice Breath and deal D3 Mortal Wounds on a 4+ roll to a unit within 6". Also, he can be placed in the Reserves and set on the field in any Hero Phase at least 9" away from an enemy unit. This counts as his Movement for the turn.

Frostlord on Thundertusk: Ogor Frostlord on a Thundertusk, little Schizophrenic, but still a good choice, especially with the new errata changing how Stonehorns modify Damage received. Frostlord comes with a Frost Spear. A giant spear that hits with 4 attacks, each dealing 3 Damage with -1 Rend. And also a Command Ability that allows all friendly Beastclaw Raiders units within 14" to Re-roll all Charges until the next Hero Phase, not just failed ones, use this to your advantage with Stonehorns if your opponent is smart and attempts to bait you. Still gets the dirty snowball attack on a 2+ doing a straight 6 Mortal Wounds to a target within 18", there aren't many wrong targets for this. Thundertusks also force your opponent to hit it with a -1 To Hit in Combat.

Frostlord on Stonehorn: It's like the Frostlord on Thundertusk, but on a Stonehorn, and thus, better. The Frostlord on Stonehorn is your beatstick of beatsticks to end all beatsticks, has the same spear the Thundertusk variant has, but has all of the Stonehorns innate combat Abilities and attacks to add to it's hitting power. Same Command Ability as the other Frostlord, but with the toughness and the Ability of Running and Charging in the same turn of the Stonehorn. Let's it get up in front and into Combat, often on the 1st turn, keep in mind, that since the errata the Stonehorn lost a lot of survivability, but it is still up there with some of the toughest mounts in the game, and can and will teach your opponent caution. Don't ever forget the extra D6 Mortal Wounds on the Charge!

Huskard on Thundertusk: "Can anyone else smell Frost Wreathed Ice?" This guy has a ranged weapon choice between a Harpoon Launcher (Pretty decent shooting weapon with D3 Damage), a Chaintrap (like the Harpoon Launcher but with shorter range and always deals 3 Damage rather than the Harpoon's D3) or a Blood Vulture (Both you and your opponent choose an enemy unit within 30" from the Huskard, then you roll a dice: on a 4+ it's a Mortal Wound where you chose to aim, otherwise it damages the unit your opponent chose). Also gives blessings: you choose a Beastclaw Raiders unit within 18" and on a 4+ roll (Adding +1 for every Thundertusk in range) that unit either heals D3 Wounds or Re-rolls every 1 To Wound until next Hero Phase. Three Huskards can be a terrible force to be reckoned with on the battlefield!

Huskard on Stonehorn: While the Frostlord is the exact same with either mount, the Huskard gets a different Ability on a Stonehorn: after he attacks, a Mournfang Pack within 10" can instantly make a Pile In move and attack if they didn't do that already. Other then that, the Huskards Stonehorn has a slightly better stat line, but if you really want to make this Hero shine, you need to take him as part of the Eurlbad formation for that extra 1 of Damage to his Melee hits, and those Mortal wounds on 6's!

Troops

Frost Sabres: (Battleline only if you take an Icebrow Hunter as your General in a Beastclaw Raiders only army) We mention them first since their main shtick is getting buffed by Icebrow Hunters: Having one (A Hunter) of them within 16" gives the entire unit of Frost Sabres +2 Bravery and +3 to charge rolls. Their melee attacks are not bad either, having a -1 Rend value lets you take on a wide range of backline tagets, such as Wizards, Warmachines, and range support.

Mournfang Pack: (Battleline only in a Beastclaw Raiders only army) These are the big cavalry unit. Can choose between a two-handed weapon, called a Gargant Hacker, that deals 2 Attacks with a -1 Rend and dealing 3 Damage, or a one-handed weapon and Iron Fist, which deal a Mortal Wound to the closest enemy model every time you roll a 6+ To Save. The unit leader can also take an Ironlock Pistol, always take it, it's free, and it's fun to pink at something for a lucky shot. Hornblower allows them to roll 3 dice and take the highest 2 when Charging (And their Charges deal a Mortal Wound on a Charged unit on a 4+ by default, never forget this), while the Banner Bearer combines both the effects from the Gutbuster standard choices (Re-rolls every 6 in Battleshock and every time an enemy unit within 3" has a model Flee you roll a D6 and on a 6 another model Flees).

Icefall Yhetees: (Battleline only if you take a Frostlord on Thundertusk as your general in a Beastclaw Raiders only army) These dudes have the -1 to enemy To Hit rolls Ability like the Thundertusk, dealing 2 Damage per Wound with a -1 Rend value, and can do a 6" Pileup. Also can Run and Charge if there is a Thundertusk within 16". These guys can be mean in combat, never forget the 6" Pileup, it can be a game breaker in some circumstances.

Behemoth

Stonehorn Beastriders: (Battleline only in a Beastclaw Raiders-only army) First big monster. It must charge when possible, deals D6 mortal wounds right after he charged and suffers halved wounds (even mortal ones). It gets two riders: one always haves the Harpoon Launcher, the other must choose between the Chaintrap and the Blood Vulture. The real icing on the cake is how tough the Stonehorn is: ~~it halves (rounding up) any and all wounds it takes from all attacks. Yes, that includes mortal wounds.~~ per the new errata it now only halves the damage of individual weapons (instead of all damage suffered). Meaning while it will halve damage of multi-damage weapons, it will have no effect on single wound weapons as weapon damage can only be reduced to one, meaning they are much more susceptible to mass single wound attacks. They are still very tough to fight, but are now not nearly as resilient as they were before.

Thundertusk Beastriders: (Battleline only in a Beastclaw Raiders-only army) The other big monster, with cool abilities: -1 to enemy hit rolls in melee, and a badass shooting attack dealing up to 6 mortal wounds on a 2+ roll. The riders are the same as the Stonehorn Beastriders. Word to the wise however our special shooting attack begins to massively lose effectiveness after only a few wounds taken which can be a problem as they are not as tough as the Stonehorns. Expect this to happen as any skilled opponent will make it a priority to snipe or charge them down quickly if your not carefull. Its just something to think about when getting close with the enemy.
