Warhammer 9th Ed 1.6 out now!

This update changes the following:

  • High-res front cover.
  • Added back cover.
  • Raised limit of duplicate special and rare units by 1000 pts (meaning you can only start taking duplicates at 2000 pts and up).
  • Magical vortex spells may not be used in such a way that they affect friendly models or enemies in close combat when initially cast.
  • Added "Any special rules that the unit might have do not apply to the Handlers unless specified – ignore the handlers completely in those cases." to Mixed Units.
  • Clarified that characters in Chariots use the split profile rules for Cavalry, not ridden monsters.
  • If your army includes one or more Lord choices, then one of the Lords must be chosen to be the Army General. You no longer need to have the character with highest Ld be your general.
  • Clarified how Unit Strength is calculated.
  • Clarified Unstable units taking casualties from combat resolution.
  • Clarified that models armed with hand weapon and shield that also have another weapon must use that weapon.
  • Added blowpipes to the weapon section.
  • Crossbow pistols removed.
  • Fight in extra ranks only apply in turns in which the model does not charge (so same as in 8th ed, spears and pikes work the same as before).
  • Cavalry needs to be 5 models wide again (makes it fit better with their minimum unit size anyway).
  • Removed the need to get over half the models of the front rank to get into combat when charging (as you already have a rule about need to maximise models anyway).
  • Unit with less than US 5 align to chargers (rather than US5 or less).
  • Look Out Sir does not work against spells that affect the whole unit.

Updated to 1.61:
  • Obsidian Blade added.
  • Helm of Discord added.
  • Opal Amulet 15 pts, works on a 2+.
  • Fixed bugs with Magic Resistance for several Magic items.
  • Lucky Trinket can be used to re-roll an armour save or Ward save.
  • Scroll of Leeching added.
  • Siverjir's Hex Scroll added.
  • Trickster's Shard added.
