Revenants

Most of the time, death is the end of the story, but sometimes, it's just the beginning. A revenant arises not as an aimless corpse of a life lost but as the embodiment of a lost soul given new purpose. Such a creature walks in two worlds. Though the revenant moves among the throngs of the living, it has a phantom life, a puppet mockery of the existence its soul once knew. The revenant is an echo haunted by the memory of itself. Ancient heroes infused with a Necromancers power rise to become Revenants, deadly undead warriors whose power is far greater than that of the lesser Undead. Revenants form the armoured elite of a Necromancers army, and there are few living warriors with the strength or nerve to stand against them.

Warband Special Rules

No flesh: Revenants and Skeletons have no flesh, and as a result they are immune to the effects of poison. In addition, any hits from bladed/peircing/missile weapons will grant the Revenant/Skeleton an unmodifiable 5+ save as the weapon/projectile can easily glance off (or between) bones. The No Flesh rule has no effect against bludgeoning or unarmed combat. If a model would get an armour save, you must choose either the armour save or the No Flesh save (you can not choose both). The No Flesh save can never be improved (by things such as shields, daggers, etc). King of the bones: If the Revenant King dies or retires, the Revenant with the highest Leadership will become the Leader (if its a tie, choose the one with the most experience, or roll a die). Change the characters type to Revenant King, and he gains the Leader special rule. Terrifying: Revenants and Skeletons are terrifying to face, making even the toughest of warriors hesitent to trade blows with them. Revenants and Skeletons inspire Fear in their enemies, and are immune to Fear.

Spells of the Animated Inanimate

1 = Reanimate Skeleton (Difficulty 6) At the spoken command of the Necromancer, the Skeletons rise to fight again. If sucessful, you may select a Skeleton (Swordmaster/Warrior/Dog) that was taken Out Of Action this game to return to play. Place the model within 6 of the Necromancer. Due to the time taken for the bones to position themselves, the reanimated model cannot do anything for the duration of the turn in which he is being reanimated, and must be placed at least 1 away from enemy models. 2 = Spell of Doom (Difficulty 9) The Necromancer whispers to the sleeping dead to rise up from the ground and seize his enemies. Choose one enemy model within 12". The model must immediately roll equal to or less than his Strength on a D6 or the dead emerging from the earth will rend him with supernatural power. If he fails, you may roll on the Injury table to see what happens to the unfortunate warrior. 3 = Spell of Awakening (Difficulty: Auto) The Necromancer calls the soul of a slain Hero back to his body and enslaves him with corrupt magic. If an enemy Hero is killed (ie, your opponent rolls 11-16 on the Serious Injury chart after the battle) then the Necromancer may raise him to fight as a Skeleton in his servitude. The dead Hero retains his characteristics/weapons/armour/skills, but he counts as a Henchman group on his own, and may not gain additional experience. He may only use weapons allowed by Skeletons. If the Hero has weapons or items that are not allowed, then they MUST be sold and replaced with weapons that he can use. The new Skeleton gains the No Flesh special rule. 4 = Bone Arrows (Difficulty 7) Bone arrows appear from thin air and circle around the Necromancer, shooting out to strike his foes. Unlike other spells, this cannot be cast whilst in hand-to-hand combat. The spell summons D6+2 arrows which the Necromancer can use to shoot against one enemy model. The arrows have a range of 24". Use the wizards own Ballistic Skill to determine whether he hits or not, but ignore movement, range and cover penalties. The arrows cause one S3 hit each. 5 = Skeletons Best Friend (Difficulty Auto) The Necromancer raises his arms and calls upon the undead canines to rise. This spell must be used before the game, and may only be used once. When cast, the spell summons D3 Skeleton Dogs, which are placed within 6" of the Necromancer. The Necromancer may cast this spell successfully only once per battle, and the dogs disappear after the battle. They do not count towards the maximum size of the warband. 6 = Reanimate Revenant (Difficulty 8) At the spoken command of the Necromancer, the Revenants rise to fight again. If sucessful, you may select a Revenant that was taken Out Of Action this game to return to play. Place the model within 6 of the Necromancer. Due to the time taken for the bones to position themselves, the reanimated model cannot do anything for the duration of the turn in which he is being reanimated.
