When entering a hex for the first time, roll on the Exploration table to determine whether there is a special feature in the hex.
If you roll doubles when consulting the Exploration table, there is also a Minor Terrain Feature in the hex. Roll on the Minor Terrain Feature table to determine this feature.
Most special features are defended. The strength of the defenders varies but increases as time passes in the campaign. In order to claim the hex you must either defeat the defenders in (an abstracted) battle or persuade them with the expenditure of Power. See the Power section of the rules for details.
Once the contents of the hex have been established they will not change with further exploration. Defenders will remain until defeated; however, until they are defeated they will increase in strength by 250 points each campaign turn until they reach the maximum value allowed.
Hex types are based on the terrain the hex depicts: fields, river, forest, swamps and mountains. If a hex contains a river you must explore it as a river hex rather than any other terrain type.

| 2d6 | Event |
|---|---|
| 2 | Mass desertion among the ranks places the troops in severe disarray. One of the armies invading the hex loses d5*50 points of troops for this turn, chosen by the player. The invasion may proceed. |
| 3 | Mutiny! The troops are paralysed by momentary unrest. Scouting is successful but one of the armies invading the hex may not do anything this turn and can only be issued a Patrol order in its following turn. |
| 4 | Treachery! One of the armies invading the hex has been the target of an assassination attempt. A random hero has had an attempt made on his life. Choose a hero at random - this can be your Lord only if there is no other character available - and roll on Table 16: Character recovery table as if he'd been injured in a drawn battle. The invasion may continue, but the character can only take part if he survived the assassination attempt completely unscathed. |
| 5 | Sickness sweeps the army incapacitating the force for a short while. One of the armies invading the hex loses d6*10 points of troops, chosen by the player. Scouting is successful and the invasion may proceed, albeit without the sick troops. |
| 6 | The army is forced to a halt by localised storms. The hex cannot be scouted or invaded this turn. The banners' will Patrol instead, |
| 7 | False alarm - there's no event after all. |
| 8 | Due to an unfortunate breakdown in communications, the army's scouts head off in the wrong direction. If the launch hex borders any other neutral or enemy hex then choose another hex at random. The player may choose to invade either the scouted hex or to invade the original target with no knowledge of its contents or defences. |
| 9 | The scouts are ambushed by bandits and fail to return. The player may choose to invade the original target but with no knowledge of its contents or defences. |
| 10 | The scouts encounter a merchant convoy carrying food and/or supplies. The scouts abandon their mission in order to redirect the convoy into the kingdom's storehouses. The convoy is carrying d6 industry tokens, each of which is (d6: 1-2 ore, 3-4 wood, 5-6 farming). The player may choose to invade the original target with no knowledge of its contents or defences. |
| 11 | The scouts encounter a mercenary band. Roll a d6: On a 1-4 they succeed in recruiting d6*20 points of troops who will fight for free this turn. You can retain their services by spending their points value from your available support in future turns (see the Mercenaries section for how this works). The player may choose to invade the original target with no knowledge of its contents or defences. |
| 12 | Your scouts capture a well-travelled local. As well as scouting the target hex, they return with details of features (but not defences) of any unexplored hexes adjacent to the target hex |
| Feature | Can player create? | Troop support bonus | Entitlements | Other effects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All hexes | n/a | 250 | ' | Produces one point of Production (farming) when under an Industry edict |
| Capital | No | +500 | Lord, 1 hero, 1 special, 1 rare | Allows Civilization and War Footing edicts. Without a Capital the player is eliminated. A conquered Capital becomes a City. |
| City | Yes | +500 | 1 hero, 1 special, 1 rare | Should you lose your Capital, one city you own is promoted to be a Capital immediately. Allows Civilization and War Footing edicts. |
| Town | Yes | +250 | 1 hero OR 1 special OR 1 rare | Allows War Footing edict. |
| Fertile fields | Yes | special | - | This hex will continue to produce its normal troop support even if it is the subject of an Industry edict. |
| Mine | Yes | - | 1 special | Produces 1 point of ore when its hex is under an Industry edict (2 if in a mountain hex) |
| Deep Mine | Yes | - | 1 special, 1 rare | Produces 2 points of ore when its hex is under an Industry edict but Awaken Beast on a roll of 2 or 3 on 2d6. If located in a mountain hex it produces 5 points of ore under an Industry edict but awakens a Beast on a d6 roll of 1. |
| Wood | No | - | 1 special | Produces 1 point of lumber when its hex is under an Industry edict. |
| Deep Wood | No | - | 1 special, 1 rare | Produces 2 points of lumber when its hex is under an Industry edict but awakens a Beast on a roll of 2 or 3 on 2d6. |
| Wizard Tower | No | - | - | May add a free human Level 2 wizard (somplete with up to 50 points of common magic items) in one army, who does not count against the army's point total or your kingdom's character limitations. Use the statistics and equipment options of an Empire wizard. If he dies, he is not replaced. He cannot lead any army. |
| Arcane ruins | No | - | - | Gain 100 extra points of magic items (or Runes for Dwarves) among armies which don't count against the army's point cost but do count against the owning character's magic item allowance. The items must be named and specified when the ruin is discovered. If you lose control of the Arcane Ruin, you lose the items. Can only buy magic items, not bloodline powers, sprites, daemonic gifts, etc. |
| In all cases you can use a Rare entitlement to take a Special unit instead | ||||
| d66 roll | Feature | Effect | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | 1 | Fortress* | A 250-point garrison will always join defensive battles by friendly forces in that hex and any adjacent hex, increasing the size of the defending army - potentially above 2,500 points. The garrison may include Special units. The garrison do not count against the kingdom's support but any special units count against the entitlements for the kingdom. During a tabletop battle occurring in the hex containing the Fortress the defending player may place a tower and two sections of wall on the game board after choosing table sides. |
| 2 | Mighty Fortress* | Like a fortress, but has a 500-point garrison and allows the placement of two towers and four sections of wall. The garrison may include Special and Rare units. | |
| 3 | Hangman's Tree | Before choosing sides, place a model representing the Hangman's Tree in the centre of a random table quarter for any battle taking place in this hex. The Hangman's Tree causes Terror. Spellcasters gain +2 to cast when raising Undead if any part of the raised unit is within 6" of the Hangman's Tree. Players can remove the Hangman's Tree by expending a point of power in this hex. | |
| 4 | Restless Battlefield* | Anyone using the Death lore gains +1 to cast during battles in this hex. A player can create a Restless Battlefield by expending a point of Power in any hex in which a battle took place during the previous turn as long as there is no other minor terrain feature (other than fortresses or watchtowers) present in the hex. A player may remove the Restless Battlefield by expending a point of Power in this hex. | |
| 5 | Shrine* | There is a shrine to Good, Evil, Law or Chaos, as appropriate to the alignment of the original occupants of the hex. Any unit of a "Good" race is stubborn if at least one model is within 6" of a Holy Shrine. "Evil" races gain the same benefit from an Unholy Shrine. "Lawful" and "Chaotic" races react similarly to diametically opposed Shrines. See Table 33: Nominal alignments for confirmation of each race's alignment. Shrines cause Terror to opposing races. "Neutral" armies are unaffected by Shrines of any type. Players can create, destroy or "turn" a Shrine to its opposite alignment by expending a point of Power in this hex. | |
| 6 | Idol of [G/M]ork* | Gork: Add +1 power dice (not dispel) per turn to the magic pool of Orc armies fighting in this hex Mork: Add +1 to Waaagh test of any unit in this hex. Players can create or destroy an Idol of [G/M]ork by expending a point of Power in this hex. To change an Idol of Gork to an Idol of Mork, or vice versa, you must destroy the original idol and then create a replacement | |
| 3-4 | 1 | Signposts | After deployment is over (including scouts) and before rolling for first turn, the player whose board half contains the Signposts may select any of his units and reposition it so that the majority of the unit is within 6" of the Signposts model. No part of the unit can extend into the enemy board half. |
| 2 | Null Artifact | All magical effects within 6" of the Artifact are nullified, including spell effects, magic items and runic items. A unit with at least one model within 6" of the Null Artifact suffers its effects entirely. Daemon and Undead units within 6" of the Artifact must take an instability/crumbling test at the beginning of each of their turns. | |
| 3 | Arcane Node | Select an random lore from the Warhammer rulebook when the Node is discovered. Wizards are +1 to cast spells of that lore in battles on this hex. Bound items increase their power level by 1 if their spell belongs to that lore. | |
| 4 | Watchtowers* | This feature represents a series of watch and signal towers in the hex which extend into all six adjacent friendly hexes. If a hex contains both a Fortress or Mighty Fortress and a Watchtower, the Garrison can join battles with two hexes of the Fortress/Mighty Fortress and not just the adjacent hexes. An army patrolling a hex with a Watchtower has a patrol radius of two hexes instead of one. A player can build Watchtowers by expending one point of Power in a hex whether or not another minor terrain feature is present. | |
| 5 | Fell Gate | Any non-daemon unit within 6" takes instablility tests at the beginning of their turns. | |
| 6 | Dryad Glade | At the beginning of each player's turn, roll a d6. On a 1, the nearest unit to the glade has incurred the wrath of the Dryads inhabiting the glade. A unit of 7 Dryads led by a Branchnymph appears at the end of the glade closest to the offending unit and moves towards it as quickly as possible (charging if in range). If a unit contacts the Glade during the course of the battle, it immediately stops and the above effect occurs immediately. The Glade counts as a hostile unit in terms of fleeing. | |
| 5-6 | 1 | Waystone | Placed on the magical ley-lines of the Warhammer World, Waystones demark these areas of concentrated magical energy. Determine the direct of North by rolling a scatter dice before the battle and mark the result in some way. Any spellcaster who is standing on the line running directly North:South through the center of the Waystone get +1 to casting rolls and dispel attempt. |
| 2 | Wishing well | A character in base contact may sacrifice a turn to get d3 re-rolls that can be used any time later in the game to re-roll a d6 (including artillery or scatter dice) | |
| 3 | Fountain of Youth | A unit in base contact may sacrifice a turn to regain models as per Invocation of Nehek (non-undead, non-daemon units only). | |
| 4 | Herdstone | Any caster using Lore of the Beasts gets +1 to casting rolls. In addition, Beastmen within 6" of a Herdstone get +1 Ld (after taking all other modifiers into account) up to a maximum of 10. | |
| 5 | Warpstone Meteorite | Any Skaven within 6" of the meteorite become Stubborn on their base leadership. | |
| 6 | Crypt of the Restless Dead | At the beginning of every player turn, roll a d6. On a 1, each unit within 6" that is not Immune to Psychology rolls 2d6+2 and subtracts their Leadership. They suffer that many wounds, distributed as shooting, with no armour saves allowed. | |
Following a battle, you have the opportunity to recover losses. Not all models eliminated during a game are killed; many are driven from the field in panic, knocked unconscious or suffer only minor injuries. Recovery represents the commanded re-gathering his forces and fielding soldiers once their wounds have been tended to and they are well enough to fight again.
It is often not necessary to calculate unit recovery after a battle; all units recover to their full strength at the end of a campaign turn. But if your army must fight again before the end of the turn, use the rules in this section to calculate their recovery before you fight the next battle.
| d6 roll | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 or less | No models in the unit recover |
| 2 | 1 in 4 models lost from the unit recovers. Round down (so a unit that lost three models does not recover any)*. |
| 3 | 1 in 4 models lost from the unit recovers. Round up (so a unit that lost three models recovers one). |
| 4 | 1 in 3 lost from the unit recovers (rounding down)* |
| 5 | 1 in 3 lost from the unit recovers (rounding up) |
| 6 | 1 in 2 lost from the unit recovers (rounding down)* |
| 7 | 1 in 2 lost from the unit recovers (rounding up) |
| 8 | 2 in 3 lost from the unit recovers (rounding down)* |
| 9 | 2 in 3 lost from the unit recovers (rounding up) |
| 10 or higher | 3 in 4 lost from the unit recovers (rounding down)* |
| Recovery roll modifiers | |
| +4 | Kingdom issued a War Footing edict this turn (and retains control of that hex) |
| +2 | Major victory |
| +1 | Minor victory |
| 0 | Draw |
| -1 | Minor defeat |
| -2 | Major defeat |
| * If you have a hex on War Footing, you may treat any "round down" result as "round up" instead. | |
| d6 roll | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 or less | The character died. |
| 2 | Unconscious: the character lays unconscious and helpless on the field. Roll a d6 and and 1 if your side was victorious:
|
| 3 | Badly wounded: roll on the Injury table, and subtract 1 from the first ("tens") die. |
| 4-5 | Wounded; roll on the injury table. |
| 6 or more | The character survived without injury and, after a change of underwear, is ready to fight again. |
| Recovery roll modifiers | |
| +1 | Victory |
| 0 | Draw |
| -1 | Defeated |
| d66 | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 or less | 1-4 | Dead |
| 5-6 | Multiple injuries. The character has suffered grievous wounds. Roll d3 times on this table, rerolling any 1s or 6s on the "tens" die. If your character was Badly Wounded on the character recovery table, do not subtract 1 from the "tens" die for these rerolls. | |
| 2 | 1-2 | Enfeebled. The character survives, but the strain of recovery permanently reduces his Strength by 1. |
| 3-4 | Broken body. The character survives, but his body is never quite the same. The character's Toughness is permanently reduced by 1. | |
| 5-6 | Weakened constitution. The character's Wounds are permanently reduced by 1. | |
| 3 | 1 | Deep arm wound. The character's WS is permanently reduced by 1 |
| 2 | Lost arm. The character's arm is so badly mangled it must be amputated. In addition to losing a point of weapon skill, the character can only use a single, one-handed weapon from now on (and no shield). Should the character suffer this result a second time he is 'armless and is permanently retired. | |
| 3-4 | Blinded in one eye. The character's Ballistic Skill is permanently reduced by 1. Should the character suffered this result a second time, he is blinded and is permanently retired. | |
| 5 | Smashed leg. The character's Movement is permanently reduced by 1. | |
| 6 | Lost leg. The character's leg is so badly mangled it must be amputated. The character's Movement value is halved (round up), although this is irrelevant if he's mounted, of course. Should the character suffer this result a second time he is permanently retired, even if he's mounted. | |
| 4 | 1-2 | A blow to the head has dulled the character's awareness. The character's Initiative is permanently reduced by 1. |
| 3-4 | Lost coordination. The character permanently loses one Attack. | |
| 5-6 | Easily confused. The character suffers from Stupidity. | |
| 5 | 1-2 | Fear all characters in army just fought |
| 3-4 | Hate all characters in the army just fought | |
| 5-6 | Suffers from Frenzy | |
| 6 | 1-4 | Full recovery |
| 5 | Hardened. The character survives his wounds and sheds his fear of death. He is now immune to Fear and treats Terror as Fear. So thorough is his conviction that he confers this immunity to any unit he joins. | |
| 6 | Transformed (spellcasters). The character has a close brush with death, but survives and when he emerges, he has gained new insights into the realms of magic. His magic level is permanently increased by 1. A spellcaster's magic level may increase to 5 as a result. Cheated Death (all others). The character suffers particularly grievous wounds, but miraculously survives without permanent injury. It is rumoured that he has faced and cheated death itself, and troops now hold the character in mystical reverence. The character's Leadership is permanently increased by 1. | |
When a character gains and advance, roll on the Advancement table to see how the character has benefitted from the experience.
A character can gain the same advancement (other than "Choose a skill table...") no more than twice and can gain each skill only once. If you roll a skill a second time or an advancement a third time, roll again on the same table until you get a different result.
If you roll a skill that duplicates a skill or ability you already have, roll again until you get a different skill.

| d6 | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | Automatically passes all rally tests (for self and any unit he has joined) |
| 2 | The character's full charge distance (and that of any unit he has joined) increases by 1" |
| 3 | The character and his unit cannot be march-blocked |

| 6 | Command radius: If the character is the army's general, his command radius is increased to 18". If the character is not the general, he now has a command radius of 6". |
| d6 | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | +1 to cast |
| 2 | +1 to dispel |

| 5 | Can reroll one casting or dispel die per turn (and must accept the second roll) |

If a battle cannot be played on the tabletop, it will be resolved with dice rolls so that the campaign isn't delayed.
Characters gain no experience from a battle between two players resolved by dice rolls (they do gain experience for fighting neutral opponents).

| 2d6 | Terrain |
|---|---|
| 2 | River - A river must be places so that it flows onto the battlefield from one side and out from either the same side or another side. It may not extend over more than half the length of the table unless your opponent agrees. The river cannot be crossed anywhere along its length except at a ford or bridge (with a width of at least 5") and should always include at least one somewhere along its length. If it extends over more than half the table length it should include two crossing places, one of which is chosen and placed by the opposing player. |
| 3 | Stream - Choose a section of stream. It is counted as difficult terrain and must enter and leave at a table edge. It may have a single brighe or ford along its length if you wish. |
| 4 | Marsh - An area of water and reeds counting as difficult terrain |
| 5 | Field Boundaries - Up to three sections of fences, hedges or walls arranged touching each other in a line or as three sides of a field. Fences, hedges or walls are obstacles which provide cover (hard for stone walls, soft for picket fences and hedges). |
| 6 | Woods - An area represented by model trees. Woods are difficult terrain, provide soft cover and block line of sight. |
| 7 | Shallow stream (open ground) |
| 8 | Low Hill - This is an area of high ground sloping gentle on all sides. The top of the hill may be almost flat. |
| 9 | Peasant Farmstead - This is an area bordered on all sides by fences with a peasant cottage in the middle or aligned along one side. The entire farm area is difficult ground due to fences, mud, dung, ditches and loose chickens. The fences are treated as obstacles. |
| 10 | Village - An area containing two or more buildings arranged in a group represents a village. There may be fences between buildings or around the edges of the area. There should be a road running through the village from one side to another (at least 5" in width). The road is open ground but the rest of the village is difficult ground.
