Army List

Types of Lists

There are two different army lists, representing different sorts of Breton hailing from different regions. Though the people are quite similar, and unvaried visually and traditionally, they become increasingly barbaric and superstitious in the wilds.

Greater Bretony

More-so then nearly every other Province, High Rock has been beset by internal strife and war. Since time forgotten the land has been made up of five or so opposing Kingdoms, and countless further tiny fiefdoms. Most of the time these territories are able to just barely resist the call for war, instead happily interacting by espionage and political intrigue. When war marches upon High Rock (rather then stews within it) the Kingdoms may set aside their differences and unite, becoming a quite real engine of destruction.

A Greater Bretony, or Kingdom of High Rock army uses the following list:

Heroes: Hill-King, Sorcerer Lord, Warlock

Core: Peasantry, Men-at-arms, Pikemen, Squires

Elite: Caballarii, Cavalier, Spellswords

Support: Guild Magicians, Witch-Coven(0-1), Skirmishers, Turncoats, Battering Ram

Mongrels of the Western Reach

Even for Bretons, those that live within the reach are mongrels and barbarians. Aldmeri blood runs strong in the reachmen, who live willingly alongside Orc Shamans and witches. The dangerous Reachmagic is a source of interest among the more sophisticated Bretons, yet banned by the Mages Guild, who rightfully fear the wild and foul powers. Hamlets that refuse the sweet allure of dark magic instead become increasingly xenophobic and superstitious, beset by the witches and beasts that would consider them allies. As is often the case, a warlock might find themself ruling over the common folk (whether they desire it or not), or leading a noble astray with dark mutterings and spells.

A Mongrels of the Western Reach army uses the following list:

Heroes: Warlock, Hill-King

Core: Peasantry, Men-at-arms, Pikemen, Orc Savages

Elite: Caballarii, Cavalier(0-1), Spellswords

Support: Witch Coven, Skirmishers, Turncoats, Battering Ram

A Mongrels of the Western Reach may choose to take Witch Covens and Skirmishers as core. If these units are taken as Core, Men-at-arms and Pikemen must be taken as Elite instead, and no units of Cavalier may be taken.

Attendant

[Description]

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

25mm x 25mm base.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Attendant	4	3	4	3	1	4	2	7	2	5+

Wargear: Hand Weapon, Shield, Maille Armor

Spells: None.

Special Rules: Stubborn, Precision

Hands: Attendants are always purchased along with an Independent Character. The Character and his Attendants function together as a single Independent Character, except while the Character is in a challenge. Attendants cannot Look out Sir!, but may receive Look out Sir! hits, wounds and effects from the character they are protecting. An Attendant 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.

Less-then-honorable: If the joined character is in a challenge, one of the Attendants may attempt to make a rear attack onto the enemy's character. Roll for Initiative- on a success a single melee attack automatically strikes the enemy character. Regardless of what happens, if the enemy character is part of a unit (either has a retinue or joined a unit), the attendant is mercilessly hacked down and removed from the game.

Any number of Attendants may replace their Hand Weapon with:

• Dagger (free)

Any number of Attendants may replace both hands with:

• Great Weapon or Poleaxe +6 pts per model

• Bow or Short Bow +2 pts per model

Any number of Attendants may replace their armor with:

• Leather (free)

• Full Plate Armor +6 pts per model

Any number of Housecarls may upgrade any number of their weapons to:

• Poisoned(4+) +10 pts per weapon

If the model protected by the Attendant is mounted, each Attendant must also be mounted for +8 pts each. A mounted Attendant may take a Lance for +3 pts.

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

Equipment

Magic Items

The Magic Items available to the Kingdoms of High Rock 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).

Consumables

Consumables are available to all models which can purchase magic items. Consumables are 0-3. Scrolls can be read as many at a time as available at times where a model is casting spells with both hands. Scrolls autocast the spell written on them. Potions may be drunk once per player turn at the start of the turn.

Scrolls:

Scrolls are available for all spells in the army spell list except Summon/Necromancy spells.
