Pirates of Sartosa: Warhammer Army Project, 9th Edition Tactica

Created by Mathias Eliasson, this project was a homebrew attempt at giving many of the units, nations, and factions that never got Armybooks of their own (and those left behind and never got one in 8th Edition) such a thing.

It should also be noted that Eliasson is constantly updating his work, so don't expect this page to stay current forever. If anyone wishes to actually update this page and the items that need it, later on, go ahead.

Why Play WAP Sartosa

Pros

• You are a Pirate

Cons

• your army are humans with no armor and 7 of less Ld.

Army Special Rules

• Navel Bombardment: once per game, For every full 1000pts in your army, you get D3 Cannon shots with D6" scatter that originate from your deployment zone edge. with a cannon's range being 48" you should fire them when the enemy is midway but not engaged with yours.

• Dirty Fighting: Pocket Sand the rule. Just before a model in a unit attack an enemy unit, using the highest WS in the unit, make a hit roll and if it succeeds the army subtracts -1 to their WS. lowering the chance for retaliation hit is needed for these nacked pirates. This ability won't meaningfully effect units with a higher initiative like elves. To deal with higher initiative, a Character is required.

• Sea Shanty Singers: a musician by a different name.

• Sea Legs: Re-roll failed Dangerous Terrain tests.
