Scrollhammer: Falmer

This is a rough draft that will be updated.

General Rules

Twisted Souls: Falmer have Hatred(Everything!). In addition, they gain the bonus from Hatred all rounds of combat, not just the first, against units containing Nords or Dwemer.

Beasts of the Sightless Realm: This model may use the Leadership of any Falmer model within 12” instead of its own for all morale checks, and has Bestial Instinct

The Hordes Beneath: When you deploy your army, you may nominate up to half of the units(including Independent Characters) in your army with this Special Rule as arriving by Hive Tunnel. They are kept in reserve, and may choose to either arrive by Outflank or Deep Strike the turn they arrive. Independent Characters arriving in this manner with another unit must be assigned to that unit before the game begins, as per the usual rules.

Scuttling: This Beast does not have Fleet.

Wargear: Hand Weapon(Poisoned 4+), Chitin Armour

Special Rules: Twisted Souls, The Hordes Beneath

Trap Riggings:

When it is your turn to deploy, for each unit of Trappers in your army, you may declare a Trap to be set. Write down secretly which type of Trap is to be used, and the reveal it to your opponent when it first comes into effect.

Volley Trap: A tripwire releases a flurry of poisoned darts against the enemy. When you deploy this trap in secret, write down which piece of area terrain the trap is in. The first time a unit moves into, out of or through that piece of terrain, reveal the trap to be in it: the unit must take an initiative test on its lowest value. If it fails, it takes 3d6 S2AP2 Poisoned(4+) hits. If it passes, the trap has no effect.

Pitfall Chasm: Pits are dug, leading into rock crevices, spikes, or perhaps even the abyss. When you deploy this trap in secret, write down which piece of area terrain the trap is in. The marked terrain is to be treated as Dangerous Terrain for the duration of the game(reveal it to be so once necessary).

Expanded Tunnels: The Trappers have made use of a precise network of tunnels under the entire battlefield. Both the Trapper unit and another unit marked in secret in your army, if arriving via The Hordes Beneath, may re-roll reserve rolls and only roll a single die to scatter.

Cripplefoot Snares: Enemy units attempting to charge this unit of Trappers must do so as if through difficult terrain if they contain one or more non-Monstrous Creature, non-Flyer model. Non-Monstrous Creature models and non-Flyer models must take a Dangerous Terrain test when making this charge. Cavalry models must re-roll successful Dangerous Terrain tests on this charge. If a model is wounded by this dangerous terrain test, it loses all charge bonuses. Any number of enemy models in the unit may choose to take an initiative test to avoid taking the dangerous terrain test. If this occurs, the entire unit loses its charge bonuses.

Poisoned Stream: The water supply of the enemy has been clandestinely poisoned before the battle. After both armies are deployed, but before Scout moves are made, roll a d6 for each enemy unit. On the roll of a 6, that unit takes d6 S1 Poisoned(4+) hits that ignore armour.

Each model may take the following:

• Poisoned(4+) Blowgun for +3 pts per model

Each model may replace his Chitin Armour with the following:

• Hardened Chitin Armour +2 pts per model

For every 3 models, one model may put a unique poison on a weapon:

• Fleshwilt Poison, Nervegrasp, Wearyblood Draught +8 pts per weapon
• Steelbane Acid, Lingering Death +6 pts per weapon
• Mindbreak Poison +4 pts per weapon

Ataxia: This infectious disease carried by Skeevers sickens and weakens the coordination of its victims. If a unit suffers one or more unsaved wounds from a Skeever Swarm, the models in that unit contracts Ataxia at end of turn. You may put a marker on the unit to represent this(multiple cases of Ataxia do not stack). Once per turn, you may force the player controlling that unit to re-roll a single d6 for a unit with Ataxia(or for a model in the unit), other than a roll to wound or a roll to cast a spell. The second result must be abided by. If Ataxia is cured, it no longer affects the unit.

Unique Poisons

The means of sustenance are scarce beneath the surface, and just as many dreadful substances as benign ones are found in the strange creatures, mushrooms and streams of the world below. The Falmer have long learned to differentiate and extract poisons from everything around them, and to make use of them to torture or kill their enemies with terrifying effectiveness.

Falmer can use a variety of poisons on their weapons. At the beginning of each turn, announce which poisons will be used on which weapons, if a weapon has multiple poisons available to it. A poisoned weapon counts as doing Poison damage, and as such an Immunity to Poison will negate the effect of whatever poison is on it, unless stated otherwise(see Frostbite Venom and Steelbane Acid below). The default "Poisoned(4+)" on many weapons counts as being among the poisons to choose from each turn if it is available, although some more lethal poisons are strictly better.

• Fleshwilt Poison: This exceptionally toxic mixture causes the skin and flesh around the bloodstream in which it was injected to dry and wither, causing its victim to quickly collapse as his heart ceases to beat. A weapon with this poison equipped is Poisoned(3+).

• Chaurus Bile: A refined mixture of the digestive fluids of the Chaurus, this noxious liquid chews through whatever livings thing it touches, causing massive destruction of flesh and pus-filled ruptures of all parts of the body. The poisoned weapon is Poisoned(2+).

• Mindbreak Poison: This poison affects not the body, but rather the mind. In a fit of insanity, the brain affected becomes unable to concentrate. Unsaved wounds inflicted by a weapon coated in this poison cause Magicka Drain(total).

• Lingering Death: Certain ingredients are renowned among assassins for being slow-acting in their effects. The cruel minds of the Falmer have engineered means to use such concoctions in battle, to bring their enemies into a dying coma: a perfect condition for capture. For each wound, saved or not, caused by this weapon, mark the affected model as poisoned by a dose of Lingering Death. At the end of turn, each model affected must take a Toughness test for each dose they have been poisoned by. For each failed test, that model takes a wound (that cannot be re-allocated), no armour save allowed.

• Frostbite Venom: The poison found in the fangs of the Frostbite Spider freezes the foe. Attacks by a weapon with Frostbite Venom are Poisoned(5+), and wounds they inflict, saved or not, Chill the wounded model until the end of next turn. Frostbite Venom counts as dealing Frost Damage, not as being a poisoned weapon.

• Nervegrasp: The Nervegrasp is made from the deadliest of blossoms in the depths and high in the mountains. A weapon coated in Nervegrasp is Poisoned(4+), and wounds inflicted, saved or not, Paralyze until the end of next turn.

• Wearyblood Draught: The Wearyblood Draught is known to create incredible fatigue in its victim, while not outright killing him. A wound by a weapon poisoned in Wearyblood Draught, saved or not, prompts an immediate initiative test after it damage resolution by the affected model. If the test is failed, the model may only make a single attack(regardless of modifiers) the next round of combat.

• Steelbane Acid: Steelbane Acid is among the most caustic poisons in existence, not merely to corrosive to flesh, but equally dangerous to wood, stone, steel and even ebony. A weapon bearing Steelbane Acid is Poisoned(4+). It gains +3 AP, regardless of its status as a poisoned weapon or any Immunity to Poison the enemy might have.

Magic Items

The Magic Items available to an Falmer army are sorted into several categories. Classes of weapons, staves, light armor, heavy armor, and shields may only be taken by a model which is holding that type of item, and replaces the one he is holding. A model may take up to 3 consumables. Other items can be taken freely. Certain items may be further restricted to a particular model. Daedric Artifacts are included in the Artifacts supplement of the Core Rules, and are taken wherever specified for a model.

Items listed as upgrades are enchantments that may be taken as a bonus on a weapon that has not already been enchanted; their cost is in addition to any other costs for the item. Items not listed as upgrades are replacements; their full cost is whatever amount is marked, and they may not be upgraded further. (Replacements are only available to models which could take that class of item to begin with).

Note exactly where the large blast marker hits. The marker remains in play where it lands until your next turn, affecting everyone underneath it; it represents a wall of frost. At the end of each turn, while the wall lasts, each model with any part of its base underneath it takes a S3 AP0 Ignores Cover frost hit that Chills on striking. Each model that was underneath it(with any part of its base) at any point during this player turn then takes a S3 AP0 Ignores Cover frost hit that Chills on striking.
