INVASION OF

THE NEW WORLDMap-Based Campaign in the Land of LustriaTo accompany theConquest of the NewWorld node campaigndescribed in the bookletenclosed with last monthsissue, Eric Sarlin brings

you the Invasion of theNew World, an alternative

campaign system for thissummers Lustriaactivities. This campaignis compatible with the

map-based campaign rulesfrom Chapter 2 ofTheGenerals Compendium.

Maximilian von Schdel stepped out of the long boat and listened with

satisfaction as his boots crunched the gravel of the Lustrian shore. Here at

last, he thought. Spread out, he shouted. I want skirmishers in the brush

and at the ready. Scouts, quick patrol of the jungle within 500 yards of the

lagoon. Move!

By Sigmar, it was hot, and the journey had been long and hard. But if even a

fraction of the tales told about the New World were true, he and his men

would be sailing home within a month, their coffers full of Lustrian gold. But

first things first, thought von Schdel. There was a beach to be secured, camp to

be made, patrols to be organizedhe had much to do. Within minutes, hisscouts reported that the immediate area was clear.

Von Schdel barked, Long boats, return to the ship. Bring food, supplies, and

canvas for tents. Before von Schdel could complete the order, the man in

front of him collapsed. What the? Another man dropped, then another. Von

Schdel spied a small dart protruding from the neck of the last man to fall

and suddenly understood. He began to yell to his men to take up defensive

positions, but his orders were lost in the din of the screaming of the patrols.

INVASION OF THE NEW WORLD

Invasion of the New World is thesecond campaign system presented byWhite Dwarfmagazine for the 2005

Lustria summer activity. Both theInvasion campaign and the Conquest

campaign detailed in the bookletincluded with last months issue aremap campaigns, and poster-sized

maps for both are included with thismagazine. The Conquest version of

the campaign uses the node campaignrules described in Warhammer

Realms: Lustria, while the Invasion

version uses the map-based campaignrules from Chapter 2 ofThe Generals

Compendium. It is our hope that, withtwo options for participating in this

summers Lustria activities, playerswill find a campaign style that suitstheir tastes.

The campaign presented here includes

a number of hobby projects, scenarios,

and other gaming ideas that playerscan use for one-off games as well ascampaign games.

In order to play the Invasioncampaign presented here, players will

need a copy ofWarhammer Realms:Lustria, The Generals Compendium,

the Conquest of the New Worldbooklet from WD304, this article, andthe enclosed map. While not strictly

necessary, players may also find ituseful to have copies of the counters

included in WD284.

CAMPAIGN RULESThe Invasion of the New Worldcampaign uses the map-based

campaign rules from Chapter 2 ofThe

Generals Compendium. Rules specific

to this campaign that differ from those

listed in The Generals Compendium

are detailed below.

BANNER SIZEThe standard banner size for the

Invasion of the New World campaign

is 1,800 points. This points size makes

for a challenging campaign, as players

may only bring Lord-level characters

and additional Special and Rare

choices when they can position their

troops in such a way to take

advantage ofFortification, support,

and other bonuses to bring their

banner size to 2,000 points or more.

With 1,800 points as the standard size,

the campaign encourages clever and

tactical play. Of course, you can set

the banner size at a different level if

you wish. We recommend a level

between 1,500 and 2,500 points. If

you choose to use banners smaller or

larger than this size, you will need to

adjust the numbers of points that

things likeFortification and supportadd to your banners per the

guidelines suggested on p. 61 ofThe

Generals Compendium.

Warbands Option. Players who arelooking for the challenge of a map-

based campaign and who are pressed

for playing time can make the

campaign much more manageable by

using very small banners per the

warbands rules published in WD 296

& 297. Banners can thus be 500

points or smaller, and several

campaign games could be played in a

single evening or weekend afternoon.If you decide on this option, you will

need to adjust the numbers of points

that things likeFortification and

support add to your banners per the

guidelines suggested on p. 61 ofThe

Generals Compendium. For instance,

supporting banners normally add 200

points to the fighting banners size.

Alter the rule so that supporting

banners add 10%. Thus, if youre

playing a campaign in which banners

represent 350-point warbands,

supporting banners would add 35

points worth of troops. All otherbonuses and penalties to banner size

should be adjusted similarly.

Players may also wish to adjust some

of the scenario rules so that they are

appropriate for warband-scale gaming.

For instance, it is possible to

encounter a Carnosaur in the Darkest

Jungle scenario. Such a powerful

creature could easily destroy most

warbands and could be replaced by

something far less powerful, perhaps

a Saurus Hero or Salamander.

CAMPAIGN BATTLESPlayers have three options when itcomes to resolving battles in the

campaign. Before the campaign

begins, players should discuss these

options and decide which one to use

for every battle in the campaign.

Option 1: Pitched Battles. Per thestandard map-based campaign rules

described in Chapter 2 ofThe

Generals Compendium, all battles are

Pitched Battles. However, the

following rules from pp. 5-9 of

Rules for map-based

campaigns of this type

appear in Chapter 2 of The

Generals Compendium,

available through Direct

Services at 1-800-394-GAME

or from the Online Store at

3/20

36 WHITE DWARF

Black Powder Weapons,Flyers, TheLay of the Land,Loose Order, and

Events & Encounters.

LUSTRIAN MERCENARIESPlayers may include the Lustrian

Regiments of Renown Tichi Huichis

Raiders, Pirazzos Lost Legion, and the

Zombie Pirates of the Vampire Coast

in their banners per the rules in the

Conquest of the New Worldbooklet.

The For Hire rules for each of these

regiments apply to this campaign in

the same way they do for the

Conquest campaign. (Thus, for

instance, Zombie Pirates may beincluded as a Special choice in Evil

and Neutral armies in this campaign.)

Of course, players may include other

Dogs of War regiments and Regiments

of Renown in their banners per the

normal rules as well.

SELECTING ANHQ TERRITORYBecause of the long coastline of the

narrow isthmus on the Invasion map,

the rules for selecting an HQ mapsection in this campaign are slightly

different than those listed in The


Each player rolls 2D6 (dice off to

settle ties) to determine the order in

which HQ map sections will be

selected (highest picks first).

Regardless of the number of players

involved, players must select a map

section on the coastline of the

mainland as their HQ. Island,

riverbank, marsh, road, bridge, and

special map sections are not

acceptable as HQ territories. Playersmay not choose an HQ territory

adjacent to another players HQ

territory. Lizardmen players have a bit

more freedom in selecting their HQ

map section (seeArmy-Specific Rules).

Place an HQ counter and a

single banner in each players HQ

map section. Thereafter, campaign

play proceeds as normal per the

rules in Chapter 2 ofThe


Warhammer Realms: Lustria applyto all of these games:Black Powder

Weapons,Flyers, The Lay of the

Land,Loose Order, andEvents

& Encounters.

Option 2: Jungle Scenarios. For

each campaign battle, players should

roll a D6, consult the chart on p. 10 of

Warhammer Realms: Lustria, and play

the indicated scenario. If all the

players agree, they could modify the

chart on p. 10 to include Pitched

Battles with Lustria rules as described

in Option 1 above and/or the two

scenarios from the Conquest of theNew Worldbooklet.

Option 3: Warbands. If players

choose the warbands option

described in theBanner Size section,

players should use the Little War

warbands scenario from WD296. If

all players agree, they may

incorporate elements of the Ongoing

Little War scenario from WD298

and/or any of the following rules

from Warhammer Realms: Lustria:


4/20


ARMY-SPECIFICRULESThe following armies use the army-

specific rules described on pp. 40-41ofThe Generals Compendium forthis campaign: Beasts of Chaos,

Bretonnians, Chaos Dwarfs, DarkElves, Dwarfs, Empire, High Elves,

Hordes of Chaos (Daemonic), Hordesof Chaos (Mortal), Orcs & Goblins,Skaven, Tomb Kings, and Wood Elves.

Note that, in this campaign,

alternative army lists such as theRed Host of Tehenhauin, the

Bubonic Court of Nurglitch,Archaons Horde, or the ArtilleryTrain of Nuln are acceptable. These

alternative armies use the army-specific rules for the parent army

(e.g., a player with a Slayer Army ofKarak Kadrin would use the army-

specific rules for Dwarfs).

DOGS OF WARIgnore the rules listed in

The Generals

Compendium for Dogs of

War armies. Instead, the followingrule applies.

The mercenaries who travel to Lustriaare a hardy breed whose avarice

knows no bounds. They have riskeddisease, dismemberment, and death

for the promise of treasure in theNew World and will defend their gold

with fury and zeal. As such, thePaymasters keys are even moreprized than usual. The key adds +2

to combat resolution (instead of thenormal +1). In addition, Dogs of Warunits within 18" of the key (instead of

the normal 12") may reroll failedBreak Tests.

LIZARDMENIn addition to the rulethat allows Lizardmen

banners to cross riverswithout making a Difficult Terrain

Test, the following rules apply.

Lizardmen banners may travelbetween islands and between anisland and the mainland without

making aDifficult Terrain Test.

Lizardmen are not limited tocoastline territories as their HQ

map sections and may insteadchoose an HQ in any map sectionexcept island, riverbank, marsh,

road, bridge, or special mapsections or map sections adjacent

to another players HQ territory.

OGRE KINGDOMSNote that the following

rules apply to OgreBanners in all map-based

campaigns (e.g., the Border Princesand Valley Grismerie campaigns), not

just this one.

Ogres are accustomed to steep andmountainous terrain. Thus, any Ogrebanner may reroll a failed Difficult

Terrain Testwhen attempting toenter a mountainous map section.

Also, Ogre societies seldom build

permanent settlements and mostoften lead a nomadic existence. Assuch, Ogre banners can move their

HQ. An Ogre banner that begins itsturn in a map section containing the

Ogres HQ counter may be given aRelocate order. Essentially, theRelocate order is a standard Move

order, except that the HQ counter

moves along with the banner. Movingthe HQ in a caravan is a difficultprocess, however. Thus, regardless ofthe type of terrain, a Difficult Terrain

Test is always required to move theHQ (this test may NOT be rerolled to

enter mountainous map sections perthe Ogre rule above). Of course, thebanner must complete its move

successfully for the HQ counter tomove. Note that a successful

Relocation MAY move the HQcounter into map sections ordinarilynot available as HQ locations:

riverbanks, marshes, roads, bridges,or special map sections.

VAMPIRE COUNTSIgnore the rules listed in

The Generals

Compendium for VampireCount armies. Instead, the following

rule applies.

All Vampire Count armies in thiscampaign are in league with LuthorHarkon. As such, one character

model in each Vampire Count bannermay take the Ebony Skulls for free

(though the associated Zombie

Pirates must be paid for normally).See p. 14 of the Conquest of the NewWorldbooklet for details.

MAP SECTIONSAND FEATURESCLARIFICATIONSThere are a number of types of

map sections on the Invasionof the New World map. The following

rules apply to them.

Mountains,Riverbanks, Roads,Bridges, Marshes.These map sectionsfunction exactly asdescribed in TheGeneralsCompendium. Note

that map sections 50, 60, and 97 areMarshes. Note also that map section33 functions as both a special mapsection and a bridge.

Jungle.Jungle mapsections functionexactly like Forestsas described in TheGeneralsCompendium.

Plains. There are no plains map sectionson the Invasion of the New World map.

Islands. Mapsections 38-43represent theSulpheret Islandsand ChotecsCauseway, and afew special rulesapply to these map

sections. When a banner is given ordersto move across water to an island mapsection or from an island map sectionto the mainland, make aDifficultTerrain Test. If passed, the banner may

move as normal. If failed, the bannermustHoldthis turn. Thus, a bannerwould have to make aDifficult TerrainTestto move from section 41 to 42 (or

vice versa), from section 43 to 52 (orvice versa), or from section 38 to 39 (orvice versa). However, a banner wouldNOT have to make aDifficult TerrainTestto move from section 39 to 41 (or

vice versa).

Lakes and Open

Water. There are afew lakes and areas ofopen water on the

map. These areas areNOT map sectionsunto themselves, andno banner of any

kind may enter, cross, control, or occupythese areas of the map. Note, howeverthat map sections 67 and 73 areconnected by a thin strip of land betweenthe two central lakes, and banners maymove normally from one to the other(though, of course, aDifficult TerrainTestwill be required for most banners toenter mountainous map section 67).

SPECIAL MAP SECTIONSThe following special map sections

appear on the Invasion of the New

World map. The descriptions on the

following pages explain the special

rules that apply to these map sections,

the armies that control them, and any

battles that are fought in them. Note

that each special map section has an

associated scenario with its own

special rules. However, if both

players agree, they can add any or

all of the following special rules

from Warhammer Realms: Lustria to

battles fought in special map sections:

Black Powder Weapons,Flyers, The

Lay of the Land,Loose Order, and

Events & Encounters.

Colony of Skeggisdottirs[MAP SECTION 39]

Years ago, a group of maidens left

the Norse continent of Skeggi and

settled upriver on a small island,

which became known as the Heart

of Darkness, home of the

Amazons. The women took to

worshipping the Lizardmen gods

and perpetuated the warrior

culture of their Norse brothers.

Eventually, a splinter group of

Amazons left this settlement to

explore the land of Lustria and

eventually settled on one of the

Sulpheret Islands in an area near a

great volcano.

CAMPAIGN RULES

Control of the Colony ofSkeggisdottirs. The realm thatcontrols the map section

containing the Colony of

Skeggisdottirs may add a single

unit of Amazons to each of thebanners under its control. TheAmazon unit does not count

against the points value of the

banner in question but does

count as a Rare Dogs of War

choice. Use the rules for Empire

Free Companies to represent the

Amazons. In most campaigns, the

unit of Amazons should be 20strong and include full command.

However, in campaigns with very

large or very small banners or

with warband-sized banners, this

rule should be adjusted such that

the points value of the Amazonunit is about 5% of the base

banner size for the campaign.

Battles. Battles fought in a mapsection containing The Colony of

Skeggisdottirs are not played

according to the standard scenario

for this campaign. Play the Trial byFire scenario instead.

Razed. If the Colony ofSkeggisdottirs isRazed, it will no

longer count toward the numberof banners that a realm may field.

When the area isRazed, the

Amazons will leave for greener (orat least less volcanic) pastures.

Thus, no banner may take

advantage of the Amazon allies

that control of the area

normally affords. However, thearea is still actively volcanic, and

the Trial by Fire scenario should

be played as normal. When the

map sectionRecovers, the

Amazons return, and all the

special rules apply as normal.


6/20



OVERVIEWThe Amazons of the Colony of Skeggisdottirs eke out a

precarious existence on the edge of an active volcano. Though

lava and eruptions sometimes interrupt the lives of theAmazons, they seem to insist on living next to the volcano,

which, some have speculated, they worship as a god. While

there is a small area of lush tropical jungle where the Amazons

make their homes, it is rocky, hilly, and unsuitable for battle.

Thus, any armed conflicts that occur in the area must take

place on the dangerous lava fields near the great volcano itself.

The Amazons respect any warriors who will brave the volcanic

area and triumph there.

ARMIESBoth armies are chosen from the Warhammer army lists to a

size determined by the campaign rules.

BATTLEFIELD

The battlefield is devoid of any terrain save several LavaStreams. An ideal battlefield would have two lava streams that

run from one long table edge to the opposite edge and at least

one lava stream that runs from one short table edge to the

opposite edge, though similar layouts like the one shown to

the left will make for good games as well.

DEPLOYMENTBoth players roll a die. The higher-scoring player may choose

his Deployment Zone and places the first unit therein.

Taking it in turns, each player deploys one unit at a time within

12" of a long table edge.

All war machines in a players army are deployed at the

same time, though they can be deployed in different parts

of the battlefield.Champions are deployed with their units. Characters may be

deployed with a unit if they will begin the battle associated

with that unit, or on their own as a unit of one.

Scouts and other units with special deployment rules may NOT

deploy per those rules. The nature of the volcanic terrain

makes it impossible to find forward hiding places forScouts,

and the molten rock beneath the surface crust makes it

impossible for Dwarf Miners or Tomb Scorpions to burrow

underground. Other troops with other special deployment

rules will have similar difficulties in this environment.

WHO GOES FIRST?If one player is in control of the Colony of Skeggisdottirs, he

may choose whether to go first or second. Otherwise, bothplayers roll a die; the higher-scoring player may choose

whether to go first or second.

LENGTH OF GAMEThe game lasts 6 turns.

SPECIAL RULESLava Streams,Falling Ash,Noxious Clouds.

See p. 104 ofThe Generals Compendium.

Amazons. If one of the participating players controls this

map section, he may include the unit of Amazons (as

described in Control of the Colony of Skeggisdottirs above).

Scenario Trial by Fire

These Amazons are defending their homes and thus will

Hate all enemy models.

However, if neither player controls the map section, the

Amazons will be content to watch from the sidelines to seeif the Trial by Fire brings to light any worthy allies.

VICTORY CONDITIONSTo determine the winner of this game, calculate Victory

Points as normal per the rules on p. 198 of the Warhammer

rulebook. Models destroyed by volcanic effects yield Victory

Points just as though theyd been destroyed by the enemy.

MAKING A LAVA TABLETo create a table with lava streams, take a piece of 1"thick insulation foam and draw out the layout with apermanent marker. Next, cut out the individualsections, nick up the edges so that they are irregularand slightly beveled, and glue the sections down to apiece of particle board cut to the size of your finished

table. Paint the raised sections with Chaos Blackfollowed by drybrushes of Codex Grey. Paint thelava with streaks of Blazing Orange, SunburstYellow, and Skull White. Concentrate the darker

colors toward the edges of the channels. If youlike, you can then cap the ends of the table as

shown and carefully pour resin into the channels. Usea paint brush to help guide the resin into place.

The omnipresent Skaven have arrivedin Lustria in force and have

Ruined Pyramid of Tehen-Pahuax[MAP SECTION 92]

CAMPAIGN RULES

Control of the Ruined

Pyramid. The pyramid itself now

acts as an entranceway to part of

the Skaven Under-Empire and

connects to a long tunnel that

eventually emerges in a faraway

marshland (map section 50). Theplayer who controls the Ruined

Pyramid may issueMove orders

for banners to move between

map section 92 and map section

50 (and vice versa).

Battles. Battles fought in the

map section with the Ruined

Pyramid are not played according

to the standard scenario for this

campaign. Play the Corrupted

Temple scenario instead.

Razed. If the Ruined Pyramid is

Razed, it will no longer count

toward the number of banners

that a realm may field. In

addition, the tunnel to map

section 50 will be collapsed and

will become functional again only

when the map section Recovers.

However, the Skaven actually

prefer ruin and devastation.

Thus, the Corrupted Temple

scenario is still played even when

the area isRazed.

Now, they aredecrepit, crumbling things that theSkaven call home. Still, there arerumors that the Skaven have dug anenormous underground tunnel tofacilitate movement under the

dangerous jungles. This tunnel couldprove to be tactically advantageous tothe realm that controls it.

OVERVIEWIn this scenario, two armies clash on the grounds of aonce-great temple of the Lizardmen, a temple that hasfallen into disrepair in the hands of the Skaven who nowpossess it. It is rumored that the Skaven have dug a hugetunnel to a point far to the north, and thus it is likely thatthe Skaven will defend their corrupted territory vigorously.

ARMIESBoth armies are chosen from the Warhammer army lists toa size determined by the campaign rules.

BATTLEFIELDPlace a large Lizardman pyramid in the exact center of theboard. In one of the sides of the pyramid facing a shorttable edge is a large hole clawed by the Skaven. Alsopresent are fourCorrupted Spawning Pools, one in eachquarter of the table. A few small copses of jungle vegetationor other jungle terrain can be scattered about the board ifboth players wish.

DEPLOYMENTBoth players roll a die. The higher-scoring playermay choose his Deployment Zone and places thefirst unit therein.

Taking it in turns, each player deploys one unit at a timewithin 12" of a long table edge.

All war machines in a players army are deployed at thesame time, though they can be deployed in different partsof the battlefield.

Champions are deployed with their units. Characters maybe deployed with a unit if they will begin the battleassociated with that unit, or on their own as a unit of one.

Scouts and other units with special deployment rules may

deploy per those rules but do so at great risk. SeeSkaven

Pickets below.

WHO GOES FIRST?Both players roll a die. The higher-scoring player maychoose whether to go first or second.

LENGTH OF GAMEThe scenario lasts 6 turns.

SPECIAL RULESSkaven Pickets. Either side may attempt to take advantageof special deployment rules likeScouts,Ambush,It Camefrom Below, and the like. Before Turn 1 begins, roll a D6for each unit or individual model attempting to deploy perthose rules. On a result of 1 or 2, the Skaven infesting thearea have found and killed the unit or model, which willtake no part in the game.

In this section of the jungle stands a

curious totem, apparently some long-forgotten idol to a silverback gorilladeity. The history of the people or

creatures who erected this idol has

Silverback Idol[MAP SECTION 79]

CAMPAIGN RULESControl of the Silverback Idol. Rumors of ancient treasures in this

area seem to be false, as even the most thorough search of the area

will reveal not even a single coin. However, the jungle around the

Silverback Idol is home to thousands of monkeys, chimpanzees, and

orangutans. While these creatures have a reputation as highly

intelligent animals among the naturalists who study them and the

sailors who prize them as pets, the simians of this area are more

clever than even the smartest of their cousins from other places. If a

player controls the map section containing the Silverback Idol, each

of his banners will be accompanied by a monkey guide. Monkey

guides enable banners to reroll failed Diff icult Terrain Tests. Other

abilities may already allow some banners to reroll these tests, but

remember that you may never reroll a reroll.

Battles. Battles fought in the map section containing the Silverback

Idol are not played according to the standard campaign scenario.

Play the Apes of the Idol scenario instead.

Razed. If the Silverback Idol map section isRazed, it will no longer

count toward the number of banners that a realm may field. In

addition, none of the special rules apply, and the map section is

treated as another jungle section. Play a normal campaign scenario

instead of the Apes of the Idol scenario. When the map section

Recovers, the Silverback Idol will be rebuilt or repaired; the monkeys

will return; and all the special rules apply as normal.

that great treasures, former sacrificesto the silverback god, can be found in

the area, if one can survive the manydangers of this area of the jungle.

44 WHITE DWARF

OVERVIEWThis area of the Lustrian jungle is rife with simian creatures

of all types. They seem to be attracted to an ancient idol

that resembles a silverback gorilla. Though it is rumoredthat many treasures, old sacrifices to the silverback god,

can be found in the area, few explorers have found

anything of value here. Nonetheless, the number of

monkeys and apes in the area is extraordinary, and these

creatures seem to possess an intelligence that surpasses

that of even some of the brighter greenskins of the

Warhammer world.

ARMIESBoth armies are chosen from the Warhammer army lists to

a size determined by the campaign rules.

BATTLEFIELDSet up the battlefield in any mutually agreeable manner,

though the battlefield should include a lot of jungle treesand terrain. Place the Silverback Idol in the exact center of

the board, and then roll the scatter die. Move the Idol 3D6"

in the direction indicated.

DEPLOYMENTBoth players roll a die. The higher-scoring player may

choose his Deployment Zone (see map) and places the first

unit therein.

Taking it in turns, each player deploys one unit at a time

within his Deployment Zone.

All war machines in a players army are deployed at the

same time, though they can be deployed in different parts

of the battlefield.

Champions are deployed with their units. Characters maybe deployed with a unit if they will begin the battle

associated with that unit, or on their own as a unit of one.

Scouts and other units with special deployment rules may

deploy per those rules.

WHO GOES FIRST?Both players roll a die. The higher-scoring player may

choose whether to go first or second.

LENGTH OF GAMEThe game lasts at least 5 turns. At the end of the 5th turn,

roll a D6. On a 2+, play a 6th turn. On a result of 1, the

game ends.

At the end of the 6th turn, roll a D6. On a 4+, play a 7thturn. Otherwise, the game ends.

At the end of the 7th and subsequent turns, roll a D6. On a

6+, play another turn. Otherwise, the game ends.

SPECIAL RULESMonkey Reactions. The intelligent monkeys and apesin the area will likely react to any troops who are

trespassing in their territory. At times, the simians will act

to hinder or harm the trespassers. At others, they will act

to help the soldiers.

At the start of his turn, each player should roll a D6 for

each unit or individual model in his force. On a result of 1,the monkeys will react to the unit or model. Roll 2D6 andconsult the Monkey Reaction Table to determine the effects.

A player who controls the map section containing theSilverback Idol may adjust his rolls on the Monkey ReactionTable up or down by 1 or 2 if he wishes.

In addition, any unit within 12" of the Silverback Idol will

inspire a Monkey Reaction on a roll of 1 or 2 (instead ofjust 1) and must subtract 2 from the 2D6 roll on theMonkey Reaction Table, as the monkeys become more

defensive when a stranger approaches the Idol.

VICTORY CONDITIONSTo determine the winner of this game, calculate VictoryPoints as normal per the rules on p. 198 of theWarhammer rulebook.

In addition, each side may add +50 VPs for each ChunkyMonkey, Monkey Pal, Monkey Helper, and Brass Monkey

associated with its units at the end of the game. The sidewith a unit closest to the Silverback Idol at the end of thegame may also add +200 VPs to its total (fleeing units,monsters, and individual characters dont count).

2-3 Come Back Here, You Little A monkey swoops down from thetrees and snatches a magic item from the unit and/or character. Ifthe unit and/or character has multiple magical items, randomly

determine which one is stolen. If the unit/character has no magicalitems, the monkey steals a standard instead. If the unit/character hasnone of these things, reroll on this table.

The monkey flees directly away from the unit 2D6". The unit may tryto catch the fleeing monkey, exactly as if pursuing a fleeing enemyunit. If the unit catches the monkey, the magic item or standard isreturned to its appropriate owner, though, of course, the unit willhave to move out of position to recapture its property. The unit mayroll to restrain pursuit as normal, unless forced to pursue by rule.

If the monkey escapes, roll a D6. On a result of 1-3, the itemdisappears into the jungle never to be seen again. On a result of 4-6,the monkey delivers the item to the enemy. The opposing playermay give any magic items to a character in the army, who may use itas he sees fit. The opposing player may give any unit standards toany unit in his army. The standards will count as captured standards

when Victory Points are tallied and may be recaptured as normal.

4 Apes Attack! Gorillas, orangutans, and other large apes appearfrom the treetops and dense foliage and make a speedy attack onthe unit, which takes D6 S3 hits. If the unit suffers a number ofcasualties equal to 25% or more of its current numbers, it mustmake aPanic test or flee. The monkeys disappear almost as quicklyas they appeared. The unit is not engaged in combat for this turnand thus may move normally (unless fleeing).

5 Funky Monkey. Though the monkeys in this area are known fortheir almost human-like intelligence, the same cannot be said fortheir personal hygiene. Place a Funky Monkey token next to theunit. Until a new Monkey Reaction is generated for this unit, thesoldiers will suffer from the awful stench and thus a -1 WS penalty.

6-7 Monkeys FlingEwww! The monkeys take umbrage at thepresence of the intruders and retaliate by flinging filth, rotten food,

and other disgusting items at the unit. While this attack does noharm to the troops, it is rather distracting. The unit must make aLeadership test at -2 or can do nothing but stand in place for theremainder of the turn. UnitsImmune to Psychology are not affectedby this attack.

8-9 Chunky Monkey.A group of rotund monkeys offers the unitbananas, mangoes, and other tropical fruits. These nourishing foodsrefresh the unit to a remarkable extent. Place a Chunky Monkeytoken next to the unit. Until a new Monkey Reaction is generatedfor this unit, it remainsImmune to Panic, and Halfling and Ogremodels gain +1 Initiative in addition. This Monkey Reaction has noeffect on Undead or Daemonic models.

10 Monkey Pal.A happy little monkey befriends the unit. Place aMonkey Pal counter next to the unit. Make no additional MonkeyReaction rolls for this unit for the remainder of the game.

11 Monkey Helper.A very helpful little monkey runs ahead of the unitand gestures for the unit to follow. The monkey seems to lead theunit exactly where it wants to go along a path that avoids thedensest areas of jungle. The unit may add +1 to its M characteristicuntil a new Monkey Reaction is generated for the unit. Place aMonkey Helper counter next to the unit.

12 Brass Monkey.A large monkey adorned with brass bracelets andnecklaces perches itself on the shoulder of a member of the unit.Place a Brass Monkey counter next to the unit. The Brass Monkeyacts as both a Monkey Pal and a Monkey Helper for the remainderof the game. In addition, the unit gains three rerolls which can beused to reroll any single die roll that affects the unit.

MAKING ASILVERBACK TOTEMMaking a suitable SilverbackTotem can be easier than youthink. Use a 40K Krootox bodyand a Chaos Ogre head as astarting point. Remove the

Krootox rider, glue thecomponents together, and begintexturing the model with greenstuff. When sculpting fur, its bestto work in sections. Start at thebottom of the model and workupward with repetitive, jabbingstrokes. Allow one section to drybefore moving on to the next.Use reference materials whenmodifying the Ogre face to

resemble that of agorilla, and

soon youllbe finished!

OVERVIEWFor centuries, the ancient stone Guardian of the Lizardmen

has stood sentry over the crossroads. Ever watchful overthe lands of the Slann, this statue is rumored to have

mystical powers capable of decimating entire armies.

ARMIESBoth armies are chosen from the Warhammer army lists to

a size determined by the campaign rules.

BATTLEFIELDThe battlefield can be set up in any mutually agreeable

manner. Three stretches of road should be placed on theboard. These can be fully modeled roadways or simply

lengths of the board free of jungle trees and other terrain.In the exact center of the board, place the Guardian statue.

DEPLOYMENTBoth players roll a die. The higher-scoring playermay choose his Deployment Zone and places the

first unit therein.

Taking it in turns, each player deploys one unit at a time

within 12" of a long table edge.

All war machines in a players army are deployed at thesame time, though they can be deployed in different parts

of the battlefield.

Champions are deployed with their units. Characters may

be deployed with a unit if they will begin the battleassociated with that unit, or on their own as a unit of one.

Scouts and other units with special deployment rules maydeploy per those rules.

WHO GOES FIRST?Both players roll a die. The higher-scoring player may

choose whether to go first or second.

LENGTH OF GAME

The game lasts 6 turns.SPECIAL RULESThe Guardian. In each Magic Phase, before any otherspells are cast, the Guardian statue will cast one spell. Roll

a D6 and consult the table below to determine which spellis cast. This spell counts as a bound spell with a Power

Level of 5. Either player may attempt to dispel the spell byusing Power or Dispel Dice or a magic item. The Guardian

has a 360 arc of fire, even forMagic Missile spells.

If a Lizardman player is participating in the battle, he may

roll a D6 in each Magic Phase. On a roll of 4+, he maynominate the target of the Guardians spell.

3 The Forked Lightning spell (Lore ofthe Heavens) is cast on the unit closestto the Guardian.

4 The Healing Hands spell (Lore ofLight) is cast on a character model whohas suffered Wounds. If more than onecharacter has suffered Wounds, choosethe one who is closest to the Guardian.If no characters have suffered Woundsor no characters are on the table, nospell is cast.

5 The Master of Stone spell (Lore of Life)is cast on a unit that is within range ofan appropriate terrain feature. If multipleunits are in range of an appropriateterrain feature, randomly decide whichis the target. If no units are within rangeof an appropriate terrain feature, nospell is cast.

6 The Doom and Darkness spell (Lore ofDeath) is cast on the unit closest to theGuardian. If no units are in range, no

spell is cast.

VICTORY CONDITIONSBoth armies must attempt to capture the Guardian by

having a unit within 6" of the Guardian at games end.

Fleeing units, monsters, and individual characters cannot

capture the objective. If both armies have units within 6" of

the Guardian at games end, count up the Unit Strength of

each sides units that are within 6" of the objective. The

side with the higher total wins. The game is a tie if this

total is equal.

Note that capturing the objective will be difficult, as the

Guardian will tend to cast spells at those units closest to it.

CAMPAIGN RULES

Control of Bridge

on the Serpents Tongue.

The map section containing

the Bridge bestows no particular

benefits to the controlling realm,

other than permitting easy

access to the road running

northsouth and thus facilitating

troop movement.

Battles. Before fighting the main

battle for control of the map

section containing the Bridge on

the Serpents Tongue, players

should play the skirmish scenario

entitled To Cross the Serpents

Tongue. The outcome of the

skirmish battle will influence the

terms of the main battle, which is

fought somewhere in the jungle

proximate to the narrow bridgeand the cliffs over the river, an

area too steep and precarious for

large armies to do battle. Thus,

after the skirmish battle is

complete, players should fight

another standard campaign battle.

Razed. If the Bridge on the

Serpents Tongue map section is

Razed, it will no longer count


that a realm may field. In addition,

the bridge will be destroyed, and

banners must make a successful

Difficult Terrain Testto cross tothe other side of the river as

described underBridges on p. 38

ofThe Generals Compendium.

When the section isRazed, To

Cross the Serpents Tongue

should not be played prior to the

standard campaign scenario.

When the map sectionRecovers,

all the special rules and bridge

rules apply as normal.

South of the small mountain range

known as the Grey Guardians, a river

called the Serpents Tongue winds its

way through the Lustrian landscape

into the Jungles of Despair. This river

interrupts the ancient causeway that

connects the city of Hexoatl to points

north and is spanned by a rope bridge

just large and sturdy enough to

permit stout-hearted teamsters todrive carts and wagons across it.

Hurricanes and warfare have

destroyed this bridge many times over

the years, but the methodical

Lizardmen as well as merchants and

explorers have always rebuilt it to

facilitate travel and trade throughout

the area. Control of the bridge is of

enormous tactical importance to those

who seek to control territory in this

region of the New World.

In this scenario, the Attackers are attempting to cross the ropebridge that spans the river known as the Serpents Tongue inorder to scout the area beyond, gather tactical information, andsecure the area for a banner that follows. The Defenders are

trying to defend their lands and prevent the enemy from usingthe valuable bridge.

MODELS NEEDEDAttackers

Up to 300 points worth of troops. These troops mayinclude Core models and up to one Hero worth up to 85points with all equipment and options.

Defenders

Up to 150 pointsworth of troops. These troops mayinclude Core models and up to one Hero worth up to 65points with all equipment and options.

No model on either side may take any magic items.

Any model on either side may be equipped with a grapplinghook for 1 point per model.

BATTLEFIELDSet up a 4' x 4' board with a river running diagonally fromcorner to corner, two cliff faces, a few rocky spires at least astall as the cliffs in the center of the river, and bridge with threesections spanning the chasm.

OBJECTIVESThe Attackers must move at least three models across thechasm and off of the table from a board edge in the DefendersDeployment Zone. The Defenders must destroy all theAttacking models before they achieve their goal. Alternatively, ifone side fails a Rout Test, the other side automatically wins.

DEPLOYMENTThe side that controls the territory acts as the Defender. Ifneither side controls the territory, dice off to determine whowill act as the Attacker and Defender.

The Defender sets up half of his models on top of the cliff onhis side of the board.

The Attacker then sets up his entire force either on top ofthe cliff or on the ledges of the cliff face itself on his side ofthe board.

The Defender then sets up his remaining models either on topof the cliff or on the ledges of the cliff face on his side of theboard. The Defender may also position up to four models onthe bridges, spires, or platforms between the cliffs.

Once all troops are placed, each player places one base ofAquatic Creatures in the river. Dice off to determine who

places first.

WHO GOES FIRST?The Attacker takes the 1st turn.

SPECIAL RULESSkirmish. This battle is a Skirmish game. All the rules on pp.242-246 of the Warhammer rulebook apply. Pay particularattention to the rules for climbing and falling, all of whichapply to this game. Models equipped with grappling hooksmay reroll their Initiative tests when climbing up or down.Remember that models that are Knocked Down or Stunnedwithin 1" of the edge of a cliff face, bridge, or other sheer dropmust make an Initiative test or fall.

Bridges.Although the bridges and platforms that span thechasm may look rickety and dangerous, they were designed bythe ingenious Slann and constructed by dedicated Lizardmenworkers. As such, the bridges and platforms cannot be

destroyed in this scenario. Destroying the sturdy bridgesrequires a banner to make aRaze action per the map-basedcampaign rules.

Falling into the Water. Falling from the bridges and cliff facesonto the beach or a cliff ledge is almost always lethal. However,a few lucky warriors have been known to survive a fall into theriver. If a model falls into the water, halve the Strength(rounding down) of the hits the model suffers. Note that themaximum Strength of falling hits is 10; thus, at worst, a modelfalling into the river will suffer D3 S5 hits.

Swimming. Models in the water may swim per the rules on p.139 ofThe Generals Compendium. Models in the water thathave been Knocked Down or Stunned must still make a roll. AStunned or Knocked Down model can only float or tread waterwith a successful test (i.e., the model cannot move until it

recovers) but may still drown per the normal rules.

Models with theAquatic special rule may move normally, butcan still drown if Knocked Down or Stunned.

Aquatic Creatures. The rivers of Lustria are fraught with perils:piranhas, crocodiles, anacondas, and some creatures ofunnatural origin. Two round bases 60 mm in diameterrepresenting dangerousAquatic Creatures are placed in theriver at the beginning of the game as detailed in theDeploymentsection. Each turn, both players roll a D6. Thehigher-scoring player chooses one of the bases ofAquaticCreatures and moves it 2D6" in a direction of his choice. TheAquatic Creatures cannot move out of the river. Any models,friend or foe, touched by the base ofAquatic Creatures take asingle S4 hit. The lower-scoring player then moves the otherbase in the same way. One base ofAquatic Creatureswill

never attack the other base, andAquatic Creatures cannot bedestroyed or attacked in any manner.

PART OF A LARGER GAMEThe side that wins this scenario will win temporary control ofthe bridge before the larger battle and thus will be able to movetroops through the area with greater efficiency. The winner ofthis battle may bring 10% more points of troops and maychoose his Deployment Zone in the main battle.

MODELING A ROPE BRIDGE TABLEBegin the construction of your rope bridge table bybuilding up cliff sides from layers of stacked insulationfoam and gluing them together with wood glue. Use ahobby knife to shape the cliff face. Make sure it is irregularenough to hide the seams between the stacked pieces. Tryto create a natural appearance with places for models tostand. When youre satisfied with the appearance of yourcliff, whisk away any excess foam, coat the cliff walls with athin layer of wood glue, and sprinkle sand onto the glueto make a textured surface. Create the spires of rock in thecenter of the river in a similar fashion. Use spacklingcompound or tile mastic to coat the foam. When the

coverage dries, sand it down to make a smooth, erodedsurface. Apply a layer of sand as you did on the cliff faces.For the bridges, take two pieces of twine about 4" longerthan the gap the bridge is going to span and tape them toyour work surface. Cut strips of balsa wood and glue themdown side by side on top of the two pieces of twine. Leavea slight gap between each strip. Affix the bridge to yourcliff faces with glue and pushpins. Make blocks from foamand glue them down where the bridges meet the cliffs.Use metal eyelets for the rope tether points. Make therope bridge sides by tying smaller pieces of twine to thebridge bottom and then tying them to the railing.

Though almost every area of

Lustria is thick with vegetation,

some areas, like the region known

as Columbos Forest, are

particularly dense and full of peril.

It is a brave man indeed whoenters Columbos Forest, for fewwho do ever return.

Marco Columbo, who discoveredand named this area of jungle,

reported sighting Lizardman

treasures and artifacts through the

dense brush. However, he and his

men lost their way before they

could claim these riches.

Columbos Forest[MAP SECTION 49]

CAMPAIGN RULES

Control of Columbos Forest. If a general controls the map sectioncontaining Columbos Forest, he may plunder the cache of Lizardman

artifacts hidden there and distribute them to his banners. Each banner underthe generals command may include any item from the Lizardman magic item

list for free. Obviously, items listed asSlann Mage-Priest only orSkink only

cannot be used by other types of characters.Battles. Battles fought in Columbos Forest are not played accordingto the standard scenario for this campaign. Play the Darkest Jungle

scenario instead.

Razed. If Columbos Forest isRazed, it will no longer count toward thenumber of banners that a realm may field. The area is burned to the ground,

and all the hidden treasures are destroyed. Thus, none of the special rulesapply, and the special scenario should not be played. If the area Recovers, the

map section will count toward the number of banners that a realm may field,but is nothing more than a simple jungle map section for the remainder ofthe campaign.

OVERVIEWThe deepest areas of jungle are rumored to have the greatest

treasuresand the greatest dangers.

ARMIESBecause of the density of the jungle terrain in this area ofLustria, full-sized banners are too large and cumbersome tomaneuver and fight effectively in this area. As such, armies

can be no larger than 1,000 points for this battle. Incampaigns that use larger banners, assume that any forces in

excess of 1,000 points make camp just outside of ColumbosForest, while a small, 1,000-point detachment is sent into the

jungle to explore.

Because of the nature of the Darkest Jungle, no force mayinclude war machines or chariots. Forces may include cavalryand models on bases 40 mm or larger. However, only models

on infantry bases that can adoptLoose Formationwill be ableto negotiate the jungle terrain effectively.

BATTLEFIELDThe battlefield is completely covered by jungle vegetation anddivided into small jigsaw puzzle pieces roughly 6-8" in

diameter. Each section potentially holds hidden dangers ortreasures, and each must be explored to try and find the cache

of Lizardman relics.

Unless searching determines otherwise, the entire table is LightJungle (see Warhammer Realms: Lustria, p. 6).

DEPLOYMENTBoth players roll a die. The higher-scoring player may chooseone long table edge as his Deployment Zone. His opponent

will deploy on the opposite long edge.No units are deployed before Turn 1. At the start of eachplayers 1st turn, his units will enter from his long edgeexactly as if they were returning after pursuing a fleeing

enemy off the table.

WHO GOES FIRST?Both players roll a die. The higher-scoring player may choosewhether to go first or second.

LENGTH OF GAMEThe scenario lasts until one side has achieved theVictory Condition.

Scenario Darkest Jungle

SPECIAL RULESBlack Powder Weapons,Flyers, The Lay of the Land,Loose

Order. See Warhammer Realms: Lustria, pp. 5-7.

Jungle Section. Columbos Forest is a dense area of jungle that

limits line of sight to a few yards. As such, troops will have only

a vague idea of what kind of terrain theyre advancing into and

where their enemies are. As such, the following rules apply to

the jungle sections or puzzle pieces of this battlefield.

Units may move as far as their Movement rules and the terrain

allow. However, as a unit moves into a previously unexplored

jungle section, roll 3D6 and consult the Jungle Section Table to

determine what, if anything, was discovered. Place a counter,

scrap of paper, or appropriate terrain piece on the jungle

section both to indicate that it has been explored and to

remind you of what was found there. If it has enough

Movement to do so, a single unit or model can explore

multiple jungle sections in a single Movement Phase.Note that, if the Artifact Cache is not found by the time all

jungle sections have been searched, it will always be located in

the last jungle section searched.

As these jungle sections are discovered, troops can get a better

idea of the lay of the land because of a tall vantage point, a

clearing that affords a better view, or subtle indicators such as

warning signs, plaques with pictographs, and ancient glyphs.

The side that discovers these jungle sections may adjust all

future rolls on the Jungle Section Table by +/ 1. These effects

are cumulative. Thus, if one side has discovered two Clearings,

a Termite Mound, and an area of Ruins, it could adjust all

future rolls by up to +/ 4. These adjustments may be used to

find the Artifact Cache.

Cache. Once the Artifact Cache is discovered, stop the current

turn immediately. The side that discovered the Artifact Cache

becomes the Defenders. Start a new turn immediately with the

Attackers going first. The game will last 3 turns after the Artifact

Cache is discovered.

VICTORY CONDITIONSBoth armies must attempt to capture the Artifact Cache by

having a unit within 6" of the Cache at games end. Fleeing

units, monsters, and individual characters cannot capture the

objective. If both armies have units within 6" of the Guardian at

games end, count up the Unit Strength of each sides units that

are within 6" of the objective. The side with the higher total

wins. The game is a tie if this total is equal.

Last issue, Jason Buyaki described how to make a jungle table appropriate for thisscenario (see WD304, pp. 76-79). Constructing such a table is a major undertakingthat may be too much for many hobbyists schedules and scenery budgets. You

can still play the Darkest Jungle scenario by replacing the custom-built puzzlepieces of terrain with green felt or construction paper. Set up as many trees as

possible on your makeshift puzzle pieces, and youre ready to do battle.

VICTORY INTHE CAMPAIGNCampaign play lasts for 20 turns. At

the end of 20 turns, count up the

number of map sections controlled byeach player. Special map sectionscount as five map sections.Razedmapsections dont count, except for

Skaven players who may countRazedmap sections as normal. The player

who controls the most map sectionswins. If two players are tied for first,

they should play a regular campaigngame to break the tie. If more thantwo players are tied for first, set up a

playoff tournament to determinethe victor.

JUNGLE SECTION TABLE

3D6 Roll Result

3 Carnosaur!As the unit enters the jungle section, it must halt immediately and is charged by a Carnosaur.The Carnosaur will continue to engage the unit until: (i) it breaks from combat, in which case it may be

run down by pursuing troops or will escape into the thicket never to be seen again, or (ii) it inflicts a

Wound on an enemy model, in which case it will run off into the thicket to enjoy a meal. In either case,

when the Carnosaur leaves combat, remove the model from the board.

4 Quicksand.Areas of quicksand threaten any model that moves through this area. Make an Initiative testfor any model that finds itself in this jungle section at point in the Movement Phase. If failed (a roll of 6

always fails), the model is sucked under and never seen again. The jungle section is otherwise a simple

area of Light Jungle.

5 Snakes. Poisonous jungle snakes attack the unit and inflict D6 S4 hits. The snakes remain in play and willattack any unit that moves into or through this jungle section. The snakes cannot be engaged in combat

or destroyed in any manner. The jungle section is otherwise a simple area of Light Jungle.

6 Traps*. The unit falls prey to forgotten snares, pits, and other traps left by hunters or Skinks. The unittakes D6 S3 hits in setting off the traps. All the traps go off as the first unit explores this area, and the

jungle section is a simple area of Light Jungle thereafter.

7 Warnings*. Some fearsome warning has been left to deter intruders from entering the area: a pile ofskulls, a body impaled on a stake, or some frightening totem. Units entering this jungle section must

make an immediate Leadership test. If failed, the unit may move no further this turn. The jungle section isotherwise a simple area of Light Jungle.

8 Clearing*. Remove all vegetation from the area. This jungle section counts as open terrain.

9-12 Light Jungle. No effect, but remember to mark this jungle section as explored.

13 Clearing*. Remove all vegetation from the area. This jungle section counts as open terrain.

14 Undergrowth*. Remove all vegetation taller than a man-sized model from the jungle section. This area isnot Light Jungle and counts as Undergrowth as described in Warhammer Realms: Lustria.

15 Ruins*. Remove all the vegetation from the jungle section and replace it with a terrain piece representingLizardman ruins. This terrain piece counts as Ruins as described in Warhammer Realms: Lustria.

16 Termite Mound*. Remove all the vegetation from this jungle section and replace it with a Termite Moundroughly 60 mm in diameter. The jungle section otherwise counts as open ground with a 60-mm area of

Impassable Terrain.

17 Dense or Impenetrable Jungle. Roll a D6. On a 1-4, this jungle section is Dense Jungle as described inWarhammer Realms: Lustria. On a 5-6, this jungle section is Impenetrable Jungle as described in

Warhammer Realms: Lustria. Place a few more stands of vegetation in these jungle section to reflect their

overgrown status.

18 Artifact Cache. The object of the search is here; see Cache. The jungle section is otherwise a simple areaof Light Jungle.

Here are a few examples how to model countersto represent the results from the table above.Snake swarm models make great snake counters,and slices of dried green stuff mixed in withassorted bitz make good treasure counters.
