Scrollhammer: Dragons

by Lolpwnt

In ancient times, the skies of the North were ruled by the great Dragons, the Dov, immortal sons of the time-god Akatosh, who had lived eternal from before the creation of the world. The Dragons appear to mortals as winged creatures of incredible majesty, yet their power is far beyond their mere physical strength. Each Dragon is imbued with the very power of the gods themselves in its breath- the power of the Thu'um. For whatsoever a Dragon speaks aloud in its language, it speaks in royalty, and that very thing beckons to the command of its tongue. Mortals know this ancient power as the Voice, for those men who are born with the blood and soul of a Dragon may likewise master the Thu'um.

The Dragons are truly eternal, for their souls come from before the creation of time itself. They cannot comprehend the concept of mortality. Should a Dragon be slain, it may be brought back with a powerful enough Thu'um. Dragons alone hold the power to slay their own kind: for should one Dragon defeat another, it steals the power of the vanquished one's soul, and banishes its foe from the world forever.

It is the nature of a Dragon to dominate all life. Thus it came to pass in that at the height of their power, the Dragons sought to make all mankind their slaves, to one day feast upon their souls and devour all the world 'til it be created anew. The early men submitted to the Dragons, and worshiped them as gods. Great temples and barrows were built by mortal hands to their glory. But those ages are long gone, for great heroes of man arose, and stole the power of the Thu'um from the Dragons to do battle with them. One by one the Dragons were slain, until but a few remained. The great barrows still stand, haunted by the Draugr, or Wights, the restless long-dead remains of the damned who once bowed down to the Dragons in awe.

But the time of dragons comes again. For thus it is prophesied in the Elder Scrolls, and thus it is sung in the Song of the Dragonborn:

"And the scrolls have foretold,

Of black wings in the cold,

That when brothers wage war come unfurled!

Alduin bane of kings,

Ancient shadow unbound,

With a hunger to swallow the world!"

This book provides rules to field armies of Dragons and their undead worshipers in games of Scrollhammer.

General Rules

Dragons and Undead are not mortal races. They have special rules specifying their capabilities:

Dragon Racial Traits:

Dragons have Fearless and Eternal Warrior, cause Terror, and are unaffected by disease. They are Monstrous Flyers, and cannot carry/hold wargear, other than the natural weapons and armor granted by their draconic form.

Tongues of the Thu'um: Dragons automatically pass the Leadership test required to use Shouts.

Rulers of the Sky: Dragons seldom stand upon the ground for long in battle, before hurling themselves upwards once more, spewing fire upon their hapless foes below. Dragons have the Hit and Run universal special rule.

Undead Racial Traits:

The Undead have Fearless and Feel No Pain, and are unaffected by disease. Poisoned weapons do not count as being poisoned against them, rolling with a normal comparison of Strength and Toughness instead (if the poison attack has no Strength value given, the Undead are immune to it).

Lumbering Walk: Undead cannot sprint. They cannot go to ground. If a group of Undead would fail a pinning test, they take wounds equal to the amount the lost by.

The Power of the Thu'um

The use of the Thu'um, the Dragon Shout, or the Voice is devastating weapon. The power of the Dragons who wield it is to rule the world; whatsoever they command, should it be unleashed in the correct time and manner, it is so.

An individual Shout consists of certain words in the ancient language of the Dragons, expressing the ideas to be commanded, and given power through the divine power of the Dragon's soul.When a pair of Dragons debate, they grant their claims power and form through their Thu'ums. When a Dragon breathes fire upon his foes, he breathes the Draconic word for Fire in a Thu'um. Certain undead who had learned the Thu'um in life, after its gift had been granted to mortals, speak it in death too.

The following is a list of Dragon Shouts that are used in this army list. If a number is given for a shouts cooldown, it is the number of turns until the model can Shout again: if the number is 1, the model using the Shout can Shout again at the start of your next turn. If it is 2, it can shout at the beginning of your turn after that, and so on and so forth.

FUS RO DAH!

- Force - Balance - Push -

Unrelenting Force: A silent shockwave flies forth from the Dragon's tongue, blasting away everything that it touches.

This Shout may be used at any time. If user is not in close combat, move another unit not in combat within 6" directly away from user d3". That unit must take a dangerous terrain test if it hits dangerous terrain. If user is in close combat, select a model in base contact with him. That model strikes last this round of combat.

Cooldown 1.

ZUN HAAL VIIK!

- Weapon - Hand - Defeat -

Disarm: The Dragon commands its foe's weapon to fly out of his hand, exposing the mortal as he dives to reclaim his blade.

This Shout may be used during the Assault phase in close combat. Select a model in base contact with user. That model loses his +attacks charge or counterattack bonus this round if he has one. He takes an initiative test. If he fails, he may not attack at all this round of combat.

Cooldown 1.

BEX MAH MIRAAD!

- Gate - Fall - Doorway -

Thunderous Siege: The Dragon commands a mortal gate to open. A blinding blast issues forth as the Thu'um is exhaled, shattering walls and ripping out bolts. Not even the gates of the mightiest fortress can long withstand the power of the Voice.

This Shout may be activated and fired as a Shooting attack targeting an enemy unit in range, with the following profile: S2, ignores armor saves, Assault 1, Template, rolls 4d6 for armor penetration against structures. Dragon Cooldown 1, Normal Cooldown 3.

YOL TOOR SHUL!

- Fire - Inferno - Sun -

Fire Breath: The Dragon unleashes his most infamous weapon upon the foe: flames spew forth from his mouth in a molten jet as he breathes the ancient words, burning all in their path to ashes.

This Shout may be activated and fired as a Shooting attack targeting an enemy unit in range, with the following profile: S6 AP2, Assault 1, Template, flame, deals d3 wounds.

Dragon Cooldown 1, Normal Cooldown 3.

FO KRAH DIIN!

- Frost - Cold - Freeze -

Frost Breath: The mighty Frost Dragons of the Northlands choose to command not fire, but ice. A torrent of impossibly cold air and ice blast forth from Dragon's mouth, bringing a numbing pain and a bitter death to all its path.

This Shout may be activated and fired as a Shooting attack targeting an enemy unit in range, with the following profile: S6 AP2, Assault 1, Template, frost, models hit strike last this turn.

Dragon Cooldown 1, Normal Cooldown 3.

IIZ SLEN NUS!

- Ice - Flesh - Statue -

Ice Form: The Dragon commands its foes to turn to freeze solid in place. As they cringe before the Dragon's breath, they are transformed into frozen statues. Their foes descend upon them, shattering the blanket of ice to bring them the painful death.

This Shout may be activated during your Shooting phase. Target unit within 18" and LOS becomes pinned, is hit automatically, and strikes last in close combat, until the beginning of your next turn or the phase after any form of attack hits the unit.

Cooldown 3.

KRII LUN AUS!

- Kill - Leech - Suffer -

Marked for Death: An enemy of the Dragon becomes shrouded in darkness, screaming in pain as an aura of doom engulfs him. His strongest armor corrodes as the death consumes him, the primal mark of slaughter invoked by the Thu'um.

This Shout may be activated during your Shooting phase. Select an enemy model within 12" and LOS. Until the beginning of your next turn, at the beginning of every phase, that model suffers a spell damage wound(no cover saves) on a d6 5+. At the beginning of every phase, his armor save is reduced by -1 until your next turn(this effect is cumulative).

Cooldown 1.

VEY TUZ KINZON!

- Cut - Blade - Sharp -

Razor Edge: The power of the Thu'um sharpens its wielder's weapon, be it a Dragon's talon or a Draugr's blade. The weapon slashes through the toughest armor and flesh as if it were butter.

This Shout may be activated during the Assault phase. User ignores armor saves this round. If wielder's attack would already ignore armor saves, it also strikes with +1 Strength this round.

Cooldown 1.

FAAS RU MAAR!

- Fear - Run - Terror -

Dismay: The Dragon commands the power of fear against its foes. All who stand in the presence of the Dragon feel an eerie horror and blackness consume them, a blinding urge to flee and never return.

This Shout may be activated during your Shooting phase. Select a unit within 6" and LOS of user. That unit must pass a morale test or flee. If it is fleeing from combat, it may be pursued as normal.

Cooldown 1.

REL DU'UL IN!

- Dominate - Crown - Master -

Dominate: The Dragon commands a lesser being to do its bidding. An implacable compulsion overwhelms its foe, as the Thu'um drains his willpower and bends his knee.

This Shout may be activated during the Assault phase. Choose a model other than a Dragon or a Physical God within 6" of user. That model makes an Ld test on its own value. If it fails, it fights on the side of wielder's army should it be in combat this round, attacking the closest model in his own unit(randomly chosen if tied). The model attacked strikes last, and uses all his attacks against the Dominated model this round.

Dragon Cooldown 1, Normal Cooldown 2.

ZUL MEY GUT!

- Voice - Fool - Far -

Throw Voice: This Shout is rarely used by Dragons, due to its nature. It is more commonly heard from the tongues of the smaller and sneakier races. The one who wields it throws the sound of the Shout elsewhere as part of its effect, in an attempt to distract, confuse or fool his foe.

This Shout may be activated during your opponent's Assault phase. If your opponent's models would have to make a difficult terrain test to charge user this round, and user is the only model in his unit, they roll 1 less d6 in making the test(to a minimum of 1). Monstrous Creatures do not get this bonus unless they are completely concealed from the enemy. In stealth related scenarios, this Shout may be altered and given special rules for helping user's unit avoid detection. Cooldown: resets next turn.

RAAN MIR TAH!

- Animal - Allegiance - Pack -

Animal Allegiance: The Dragon commands all the beasts of the wilds to come to his aid in battle. Horses throw their masters, wolves and ravens prey upon unsuspecting warriors.

This Shout may be activated during the Assault phase in close combat. For this round and the next, a Beast in base contact with user fights as part of the Dragon's unit in the struggle. You may choose instead to target a mount: the rider must pass a Ld test on his own value. If he fails, he may not attack in this round or the next, and takes a S3AP0 hit.

Cooldown 1.

KAAN DREM OV!

- Kyne - Peace - Trust -

Kyne's Peace: The Dragon embraces the aspect of Kynareth within the Thu'um, bringing forth a calming wind upon the wilds. The instincts of all beasts near it fall flat, their ravenous urges tamed at the Dragon's will.

This Shout may be activated during the Assault phase in close combat. Beasts in units within 6" of caster may not charge or attack in close combat this phase. If they would flee this phase, they are destroyed instead.

Cooldown 2.

LOK VAH KOOR!

- Sky - Spring - Summer -

Clear Skies: The Dragon invokes the beauty of spring and the warmth of summer to fall upon the plain of battle. Mists vanish, and clouds part to reveal the glowing rays of the sun.

This Shout may be activated at any time. All Weather effects are ignored this turn within 12" of user.

Cooldown: resets next turn.

SU GRAH DUN!

- Air - Battle - Grace -

Elemental Fury: The Dragon commands the winds to harmonize with his strikes, his fangs tearing the foe with impossible speed and grace. In a blink of an eye, the Dragon fights with impossible ferocity.

This Shout may be activated during the Assault phase in close combat. User gets +2 attacks this round.

Cooldown 1.

WULD NAH KEST!

- Vortex - Fury - Tempest -

Whirlwind Sprint: The Dragon commands a mighty whirlwind to form in the air, to carry him forward towards the foe.

This Shout may be activated during your Shooting phase if sprinting. User gains Fleet of Foot this turn, and does not have to take difficult or dangerous terrain tests this phase.

Cooldown 1.

VEN MUL RIIK!

- Wind - Strong - Gale -

Tempest Shroud: The Dragon calls upon the great winds to aid him in battle. Thick torrents of rain and biting winds scour the field. Within the realm of Sovngarde, it is with this Thu'um that Alduin will create the great Mists to stalk and devour the souls of the dead.

This Shout may be activated during your movement phase. Weather effect. Shooting Weapons get -1 to hit until the beginning of your next turn. Alternatively, if battle is taking place in a realm other than Nirn, where rain is impossible, Night Fighting rules apply until the beginning of your next turn instead(this rule is for optional use as part of a scenario).

Cooldown: 2

STRUN BAH QO!

- Storm - Wrath - Lightning -

Storm Call: Thunderclouds form above the Dragon, as it commands them to unleash their lightning upon all who do battle below. Incredible destruction rains down, smiting friend and foe alike.

This Shout may be activated during your movement phase. Weather effect. Until the beginning of your next turn, at the start of every phase, roll a d6 for each unit within 36" of user, as well as all non-summoned units of fliers in reserve. On a 4+ that unit takes a S7, Blast, shock hit that ignores armor saves. All models hit lose all their mana next turn. Fliers in reserve take d6 hits rather than the blast. The Blast templates may cover one's own models(and certainly will if one's own units are hit!), and are placed by the opponent of the controller of the unit being hit. Cover saves are taken as if the attack was coming from directly above, and area terrain is not enough to grant a save! Units completely obscured from directly above are not hit, nor is user.

Cooldown 4.

SU'UM THU'UM DIIVON! - Swallow Shout: The Dragon inhales as its rival sends forth a Thu'um, challenging its foe's power and commanding it to be no more.

This Shout may be activated in response to an enemy Shout being used within 24". Choose a number "X" between 1 and 5, add d6, and then add it to user's Ld. Your opponent adds the cooldown number of his Shout being targeted, +d6, to the Ld of its source model. If user's result is higher than that of your opponent's model, your opponent's Shout is countered(its cooldown is still in effect, however). Cooldown X.

LAAS YAH NIR!

- Life - Seek - Hunt -

Aura Whisper: A Thu'um is released not in the form of a Shout, but as a Whisper. The energies of all objects surrounding the Dragon shine bright as stars to its eyes, no matter how well concealed their physical forms might be.

This Shout may be activated during your shooting phase. Enemy models within 12" of user do not get cover saves this phase.

Cooldown 1.

FEIM ZII GRON!

- Fade - Spirit - Bind -

Become Ethereal: The Dragon calls upon the void to shield it. Its flesh and scales become as air before the blades of those who seek to slay it.

This Shout may be activated at any time. User immediately cancels all attacks, shooting attacks and spells he makes in this phase. User may ignore a single wound of any type against him this phase.

Cooldown 1.

FIIK LO SAH!

- Mirror - Deceive - Phantom -

Spectral Illusion: The Dragon creates a mirror image of itself, confusing its enemy and misdirecting his attacks.

This Shout may be activated at any time. For the duration of this turn, whenever user is hit by anything other than a template or blast market, roll a d6. On a 4+, that attack counts as having missed.

Cooldown 2.

TIID KLO UL!

- Time - Sand - Eternity -

Slow Time: The Dragon invokes its soul's birthright, ordering the frame of the universe to warp to its will: its Thu'um commands time itself to bend around it. In what seems to them to be a single second, the Dragon routs its foes with ease.

This Shout may be activated at any time. During this phase, it may add d6" to its move, sprint, or charge. In addition, it any rerolls failed hits and wounds it would inflict.

Cooldown 2.

DAAN JOT WULD!

- Doom - Maw - Vortex -

Maelstrom: The Dragon tears a hole in the fabric of reality with its breath, and Shouts its foe into the maw of Oblivion itself. From there, certain death awaits him, at the fiery hands of horrors from beyond the realm of Nirn.

This shout may be activated during the assault phase. Select a model other than a Dragon, Dragonborn or Physical God in base contact with user. That model loses all mana dice next turn as well as all those it currently has, and must pass an initiative test or be immediately removed as a casualty.

Cooldown 3.

MIRAAD AAK WUNDUN!

- Doorway - Guide - Travel -

Teleport: The Dragon summons a fey portal across the field of battle, which it sucks itself through in a burst of wind and flame. At first it is a mile from its foes: in an instant, it is upon them.

This shout may activated during your movement phase. Instead of moving this phase, place user in any legal location within 36" of his current location. Roll a scatter die and 2d6 to determine scatter, exactly as if the user just used Deep Strike. This Shout may remove user from combat. Cooldown 3.

Army List

This set of rules will allow one to field an army of Dragons or the undead who served them in life, or a mix of both. The "Dragons" section provides rules for fielding all types of Dragons, which appear in a variety of places in the army list. The other sections provide rules for the undead who dwell within the dark barrows of Skyrim, awaiting the return of their masters.

Dragons

The mighty Dragons come in many shapes and sizes. Though all are beyond ancient, the wisdom or strength of some exceeds that of others. Dragons may be taken as Hero choices, and for each one taken as a hero choice, 0-2 Lesser Dragons may be fielded as Core units.

Elder Dragon

The mightiest of the Dragons are those whose Thu'ums are the strongest. The Elder Dragons hold the power of demigods in their breath, and their fire-colored scales are all but immune to the blows of mortals. Such Dragons are among the most deadly creatures in existence, crushing houses beneath their feet, and swallowing renowned heroes whole.

An Elder Dragon costs 265pts. An Ancient Dragon costs 315pts.

Lesser Dragon

A Dragon whose Thu'um is weak subordinates itself to those greater than it, following their lead.

Heroes

Dragon Priest

In the days when Dragons were worshiped by mankind, a great order of ancient sorcerors was founded. Members of this order served as a priesthood to to the Dragons, mediating between them and mortal men. Great power they held in the number of mankind, and great ceremonies they performed for the honor of their masters, or for the mummification and burial of the dead. Upon the defeat of the Dragons, they fled with their most loyal retainers to construct burial mounds in the honor of their fallen masters. They continued the Dragon's war, against their fellow mortals, until but few remained. This remainder transformed themselves into liches, preserving themselves with a bitter immortality, to guard the ancient tombs, and await the return of their masters.

Draugr Deathlord

In the ages before written history, even the great kings of Men served the Dragons. Mummified and entombed after their deaths in the great barrows, their bodies are preserved for eternity, cursed with blasphemous unlife. When Man rebelled against Dragon, the great lords who remained loyal to their masters became schooled in the Thu'um themselves. Tyrants of later eras were oft entombed with the ancients as well.

Core

Draugr

Many legends are told of how a man becomes a Draugr: some are said to be damned for their allegiance with the Dragons, others for the rites of cannibalism indulged in by the ancient cults. But all now roam the northern parts of Tamriel, slaying all who wander too near the ruins of their once-great civilization. And within the windswept barrows, tens of thousands more sleep embalmed, awaiting a foolish fortune-hunter to awaken them and meet his death.

Skeletons

Throughout Tamriel, the long-dead lurk in the shadows, only bones remaining, but nevertheless moving with mysterious unlife.

Spectral Draugr

Deep within the ancient ruin of Labyrinthian, far beneath the eponymous Maze of Shalidor, lies the great Tribune chamber, burial-place of countless Dragon Priests. The Draugr cursed to forever guard these halls are ghostly in form, and wield shadowy blades which drain the essences of their foes.

Skeletal Dragon

In times of dire need, those skilled in the black art of necromancy may call up a Dragon from the grave. With a foul ritual, the Dragon Priests call up a creature they once worshiped, in a form little worthy of its former glory. Though it be but a flightless shadow of a true Dragon, a Skeletal Dragon is nevertheless a force of destruction upon the battlefield, well-deserving a respectful fear.

Support

A Skeletal Dragon costs 85pts.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Skeletal Dragon	3	3	6	5	3	1	2	10	0	4+

Special rules: Skirmish, Monstrous Creature, Undead, Dragon.

Wargear: even without their scales, the bones of a dragon are strong as steel, giving them a 4+ armour save.

Shouts: A Spectral Dragon has knows Unrelenting Force, and one of the following:

• Fire Breath
• Frost Breath

Dragon Cultists

When Man overthrew the reign of terror of the Dragons, those who still worshiped the Dragons surrendered or fled. Many of those who went into hiding at the side of the Dragon Priests joined their leaders in undeath, cursed to walk Nirn as ghosts forever.

Support

Each Dragon Cultist costs 10pts/model. 5-20 Dragon Cultists may be fielded as a single unit.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Skeletal Dragon	3	3	3	3	1	3	1	7	3	5+

Special rules: Skirmish, Infantry, Undead, Cause fear.

Ghostly: Dragon Cultists do not have to roll for difficult and dangerous terrain. They are not encumbered in their movement or spellcraft by their heavy armor.

Invisible: Dragon Cultists, being ghosts, may sometimes drift amongst the enemy, invisible, until they can give themselves shape. Dragon Cultists have the Deep Strike ability, but may move and charge on the turn they Deep Strike. On that turn, they gain the charging from cover bonus for their daggers.

Wargear: Dragon Cultists carry an Ancient Nordic Dagger, and wear Ancient Nordic Armor.

Spells: Dragon Cultists know either Flames or Frostbite.

Wisps

Among the legends of the rugged mountains of the Northlands is that of the Wispmother. In the flickering light of the sunset, between the great peaks of the North, there are found small Wisps, silver shimmers in the air. Travelers lured by the Wisps follow them through the snow and the valleys, to the Wispmother, a queen of ice, a phantom maiden dressed in silver robes. The Wispmother casts a dreaded curse upon these fools, freezing them to death with icy winds.

Support

Each Wispmother costs 100pts, and each Wisp costs opts. 1 Wispmother, and 3-15 Wisps, may be fielded as a single support unit choice.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Wispmother	3	3	1	3	3	5	0	10	6	-/4++
Wisp	1	1	1	1	1	5	1	4	3	-

Special rules: Skirmish, Infantry. Wispmothers have Regenerate (6+).

Frost Spirits: Wispmothers and Wisps are Fearless, and are unaffected by Frost damage or disease, and Flame damage has +1 to wound against them. They do not have to roll for difficult and dangerous terrain. They are not mortals.

Wispbond: At the beginning of your turn, if the Wispmother, you may attempt to replace each fallen Wisp with a new Wisp. For each fallen Wisp, roll a d6. On a 5+, place it in a legal location in Wispmother's unit. Each time a Wisp is slain, its Wispmother takes a S2 hit, no saves allowed. If the Wispmother is slain, all the Wisps are slain as well.

Shades: A Wispmother flows outwards with silvery frost, trailing like wind. Each trail of frost manifests itself as phantom images, each appearing like the Wispmother herself. Wispmothers have a 4+ Ward Save.

Hoarfrost Cloak: Enemies in base contact with a Wispmother strike last, and take a S4AP5 hit at the beginning of each round of combat.

Fey Siphoning: Wisps drain the life of their enemies when commanded to do so by the Wispmother. Wisps wound automatically, regardless of toughness.

Glimmers in the Trees: Wisps and the Wispmother may be deployed after all regular deployment has occurred, each model as a separate unit. Wisps(but not the Wispmother) using this rule may be placed anywhere on the battlefield, other than less than 1" from an enemy unit, or less than 6" from another Wisp from the same source unit. The Wispmother still takes hits from and later revives fallen Wisps(as part of her unit), despite them being separate. If a sub-unit of any size moves within 2" of another from the same source unit, it is merged and treated as a single unit for the remainder of the game.

Wargear: Neither Wisps nor Wispmothers carry any wargear.

Spells: Wispmothers know Ice Storm.

Ice Wraiths

In the frozen heart of Skyrim's wilds dwell fierce and cruel spirits of snow, their icicle fangs sharp as swords: the Ice Wraiths. The Ice Wraiths have preyed upon the Nords since before the dawn of recorded history, bringing swift and icy death to those who would ventured forth unprepared. Driving back their predations has long been a martial tradition of Skyrim; slaying one is a rite of passage into manhood in some villages, and is widely considered a sign of worthwhile prowess in a warrior. A defeated Ice Wraith expels its magicka in liquid form: this bitter cold draught protects the drinker from the frostbite induced by the Wraith's heartstopping breath.

Support

Each Ice Wraith costs 17pts. 2-15 Ice Wraiths may be fielded as a single support unit choice.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv

Special Characters

Alduin World-Eater, Firstborn of Akatosh

Before Time began, a different world existed in Nirn's place. Its inhabitants were born, and they lived, loved and died. For millennia they toiled, and built up great civilizations. In their halls they sang tales of glorious heroes to feasts of wine and boar. But their doom was already sealed. For Alduin came forth, mightiest of the Dragons, and glutted himself upon the souls of the living and the dead, swallowing the world with his Thu'um. Thus was the ending of the First Kalpa.

And so it came to pass that every world, every one of the many hundred beautiful creations of the gods, was consumed, turned into nothingness, and forgotten, all before the dawn of time. For Alduin is eternal, an aspect of time itself, the final Doom of all mortals.

Alduin led the Dragons into the present Kalpa, and watched as the newborn races of mortals grew. All the wisdom of the present world was his to ruminate upon, but to his proud Eternity, the lives of mortals meant nothing but the antics of fools fast approaching their doom. The race of men raised great temples to Alduin, bowing before the one who would consume them. The elves denied this fate, believing themselves gods, but mankind trembled at the true knowledge of the end of all things. And then, when all was lost, an unforeseen event transpired. Alduin, ruler of Dragons and Men, was betrayed by his most trusted brother, who let Man steal the Thu'um from the Lords of the Sky. With the power of the Thu'um, Man rebelled, and with the power of the Scrolls, cast him out his father's domain: Time itself.

From this prison, the Firstborn of Akatosh sought revenge upon Mankind. Though an impotent force in the world of mortals, he mustered what strength he had to ally with the god Orkey. Together, the two gods reversed the course of time, turning all mankind back into children that they might be soon perish. But Shor, God of Nirn, did battle with Alduin in the land of the dead. In this battle, he demonstrated his Thu'um to the Dragonborn hero Wulfharth, who sacrificed himself to reverse the curse. Alduin was defeated again.

By a Scroll was Alduin banished from Time, and by a Scroll he is prophesied to return. The day swift approaches, when the Time-Eater shall once more come to rule all Nirn. The kingdoms of men shall fall before the dawn of the Dragons, and at the very end of time, the mists of Aetherius and the fires of Oblivion shall offer up their dead. And all shall be plunged into everlasting nothingness, their lives and histories made futile as another doomed Kalpa is born from their ashes.

Support

Alduin costs 635pts. Alduin is taken as a Hero choice. An army that contains Alduin may take any number of Lesser Dragons as Core choices, and may take multiple Elder Dragons. Elder Dragons(but not Ancient Dragons) may be taken as Elite choices.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Alduin	4	4	8	8	7	4	5	10	0	1+

Special rules: Skirmish, Monstrous Flier, Dragon, Swath of Destruction.

The Eternal: Alduin is considered to be a Physical God by all effects which have exceptions/extra rules for Physical Gods.

Strongest of the Thu'ums: Alduin's Shouts (that have a cooldown number) have -1 to their cooldowns to a minimum of 1(the normal cooldown of the Shout is still the same for calculation purposes). Alduin gets +1 to his roll when using or being targeted by Swallow Shout. His Fire Breath Shout strikes with +2 Strength.

Wargear: Alduin's spined, shadow-black scales contain the power of countless aeons, the strength of the innumerable souls he has devoured. Alduin has a 1+ armor save(a roll of 1 still fails) and a 6+ Ward Save. Alduin's close combat attacks have the Critical Strike ability.

Shouts: Alduin knows all the Shouts in this book. Alduin has two unique Shouts:

Alduin's Roar- Meteor Storm: Alduin unleashes a roar of incredible power, and within it a Thu'um only comprehensible to himself. He calls upon the heavens themselves, cracking them open and unleashing a flood of molten slag upon his foes.

This Shout may be activated during your movement phase. Weather effect. Until the beginning of your next turn, at the start of every phase, roll a d6 for each enemy unit within 18" of Alduin. On a 4+ that unit takes a S6AP1 Blast, flame hit. Cover saves are taken as if the attack was coming from directly above, and area terrain is not enough to grant a save! Units completely obscured from directly above are not hit, nor is user. Cooldown 4.

SLEN TIID VO- Resurrect: Alduin commands the flesh of a fallen Dragon to re-form, once more imbuing it with its eternal soul to do battle for him. It is by this means that the Dragons remain truly immortal.

If Alduin is in your army, mark the location of slain Dragons and Skeletal Dragons. Resurrect may be used during your movement phase. Return a slain Dragon within 6" of Alduin to the battlefield fully healed. A slain Skeletal Dragon returns to the battlefield as a Lesser Dragon with no upgrades. The resurrected model may move this turn but not shoot or charge. If, however, an enemy Dragon or Dragonborn gets within 6" of the marker first, it is removed- the Dragon cannot be resurrected! Cooldown 5(4)

High Priests of the Dragon Cult

At the heart of the vast city that would one day be known as Labyrinthian, there once lay a citadel known as Bromjunaar. Within this chamber, the High Priests of the Dragon Cult met and sat upon their thrones, ruling over ancient Man. Cruel-hearted and proud, this council made prayers to the Dragons for gifts: they were granted immortal, indestructible masks, existing both in and out of time. With these eternal masks concealing their faces, they invoked great power, and ruled Man with an iron fist until the time of rebellion. It was then they fled, and became liches of incredible power, hiding in the shadows, awaiting the time when they might once more conquer the North and hail their winged masters.

0-1 Dragons Priests in your army may be replaced by one of the eight High Priests: Hevnoraak, Krosis, Morokei, Nahkriin, Otar the Mad, Rahgot, Vokun or Volsung. High Priests are taken for the points cost specified.

Hevnoraak

Hevnoraak held the power to dominate his fellow mortals while he lived. Countless souls were corrupted by his powers, made puppets for his tortures. None of his victims fled, so great was their fear of him. In death, he transformed into a lich within his tomb, but as he performed the ritual, the hero Valdar intervened, sacrificing himself to bind himself to Hevnoraak. Now, for all eternity, Valdar stands vigilant, sealing Hevnoraak's tomb, lest the tyrant be unleashed upon the world once more.

Every assault phase, choose an enemy model (other than an automaton, Daedra, Dragon or Physical God) in base contact with Hevnoraak. That model makes a Ld test on its own value. If it fails, it attacks the nearest model in its own unit (randomly picked if tied), and then is attacked back by that model, the following round of close combat. Those models fight each other: they cannot attack their enemies that round.

Spells: Summon Storm Atronach (cost included in Hevnoraak's cost), Chain Lightning, Lightning Bolt, Ebonyflesh, Command Daedra, Ward, Raise Skeletons.

For here, atop a peak inaccessible by those without the wings of a Dragon, lies a portal to Aetherius itself. No living mortal can seek to enter this land of beauty without defeating undying Nahkriin in battle.

Now he lies buried in his temple, his mask of incredible power lying upon his brow. Two mighty warriors of old are bound to guard his tomb for eternity as Draugr. He slumbers for aeons, but is not without the power to strike down whosoever trespasses his tomb, and then go forth on a mad war against the living.
