Warhammer 9th Edition 3.1 out now!

This update contains some important changes to the Movement system mainly, serving to streamline several interactions for smoother gameplay. There's also been a lot of corrected issues with spelling, grammar and clarifications in multiple scenarios (not listed in the patch notes below).

Swiftstride has been removed from all troop types by default - instead all models with M6+ follow the previously lower tier for swiftstride automatically (charging Movement + 2D6). This means cavalry etc are a bit slower. Flee and Pursuit is equal to the unit's Movement + D6". This means that infantry will much more rarely catch the cavalry in pursuit and vice versa, rather than it being almost completely random. Swiftstride as a special rule allows re-rolling 1's for the distance instead, and is now much rarer.

Disordered charge has been added - this is simply a term that applies in situations where a unit loses its charge bonuses (mainly due to terrain), rather than having to specify this in every scenario it applies.

Catching fleeing enemies now only does half as much damage as before (1 Wound per Unit Strength), but Rallying has also been made more difficult. You are no longer allowed to Rally if there are non-fleeing/engaged enemies within 6", making it easier to pursue fleeing enemies off the board, even if you are not able to catch them. This gives units of War Beasts and Fast Cavalry a better role as pursuers compared to heavy cavalry. On a similar note, units no longer need to test to march due to nearby enemy units, if the enemy is fleeing or already engaged in combat.

Refusing challenges now has an added negative in that it adds +1 combat res to the enemy, making it more important to accept them.

Stupidity has been reworked - instead of being a Ld test at the start of the turn, it now works on a D6 roll in the compulsory movement phase. This means all stupid models are treated equally, rather than units with high Ld practically ignoring the effect. It's also more granular with 3 different effects, rather than simply being pass or fail.

Fire & Flee no longer causes the unit to flee a shorter distance, and only causes -1 To Hit rather than -2. However, it cannot be used with Ponderous weapons or within the enemy's minimum charge distance. 

Lastly, several weapons have seen a few changes, with initiative bonuses for spears/polearms only applying in the first round of combat, just like lances. Grenades have been added, instead of being repeated in every book that features them. Blackpowder weapons had a bug where they still were armour piercing after getting their shots/strength increased, which has now been fixed.

With that, the main rules are feature-complete. I will naturally be evaluating the rules based on feedback over the coming year(s), but otherwise I consider the main rules to be pretty much done at this point.

Thanks to everyone who have contributed with your feedback and bug reports, and as always - my Patreon supporters!

Next up will be a quick update wave to fix the remaining bugs in the various books, before I can start working on some new material! I'll be posting this on Discord only until all the updates are out, after which I'll have the full patch notes listed in a separate post.

 

Patch Notes:

• Included the distances for charging, fleeing and pursuing from Swiftstride into the main movement rules. Models with M6 or more roll 2D6 for charges rather than 3D6 (discard highest). All units move the sum of their Movement + D6” when fleeing/pursuing.
• A unit that declares a Counter-charge reaction cannot make any additional charge reactions besides Hold that turn. A unit may only make one actual Counter-charge move once per turn. If the counter-charging unit gets charged by more than one unit, it counts as counter-charging all units to its front.
• Disordered Charge: In certain situations, a unit’s charge may become disordered, most commonly due to various types of terrain. A unit that makes a disordered charge is not subject to any rules that only apply when a unit charges.
• In some cases, the enemy unit might have to close the door with the chargers instead. In this situation, the charging unit counts as making a disordered charge against that unit. 
• Catching up to a fleeing unit causes one Wound per Unit Strength of the charging/pursuing unit rather than two.
• Units cannot attempt to rally if enemy units are within 6", unless those units are fleeing, engaged in combat or have less than Unit Strength 10.
• Units do not need to test to march if the enemy units are fleeing, engaged in combat or have less than Unit Strength 10.
• Removed "Note that if a unit attempts this test and fails, it is still treated as having marched, even if its controlling player then elects not to have the unit move at all."
• Remains in play spells can be dispelled at any time during any subsequent Magic phase.
• Fixed bug with Bound Spells still only mentioning magic items.
• Removed "Units that only chose Hold as a charge reaction this turn counts as having one more complete rank than they actually do." (bug fix)
• You gain +1 combat result if a challenge was refused by your enemy.
• Enemy spells that target a unit containing one or more models with Magic Resistance suffer a casting penalty equal to the number shown in the brackets. Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest modifier.
• Provided that they are not engaged in close combat, a unit that contains one or more models with the Stupidity special rule must roll a D6 at the start of its Compulsory Movement sub-phase and consult a table to see what effect it has.
• Note that in case only a mount has Stupidity, the rider is not affected by the penalties to casting and channelling.
• When charging, fleeing and pursuing, units entirely made of models with the Swiftstride special rule may re-roll 1's when determining the result of the distance they move. Removed Swiftstride from all unit types by default.
• Vanguard: Models with this special rule may deploy up to a distance equal to their Movement characteristic (or 2D6" in case they have Random Movement) beyond their deployment zone.
• Fire & Flee no longer suffer negatives to Movement or counts as moving and shooting. Cannot be used with Ponderous weapons.
• Polearms, spears and pikes only receive initiative bonuses in the first round of combat. Spears and pikes do not gain extra initiative in turns they are charged.
• Fixed bug with handguns, pistols and organ guns still being armour piercing.
• Added Grenades to the weapon section.
• Chariots: In addition, their fighting rank is three models rather than five.
• Shrines may choose in which rank they wish to be placed, rather than being required to being in the front rank.
• War Machines are Cumbersome.
• Models charging a unit behind an obstacle or building count as making a disordered charge.
• In the case of Mixed Units, the listed unit size does not include any handlers. The number of Handlers always specified separately.
• Dawnstone: The bearer may re-roll 1's when taking armour saves. Is a common item. Costs 15 points.
