These battlegroups should be deployed on opposite sides of the batwith at least 20 separating the opposing forces.

HORDES battles are fought in a series of game rounds. Each game round, both players turn. The player who deployed his army rst takes his turn rst every game round. Afsecond player takes his turn, a new game round begins. A game effect with a durationround expires at the beginning of the current players next turn.

The player turn is divided into three phases:

Mantenance Phase: Remove any effects that expire on your turn. If any of your modelmore fury points than their FURY stat, remove any excess fury points.

Contro Phase: During the Control Phase, perform the following steps in order:

1. Your warlock leaches fury points up to its current FURY from warbeasts in its battle

in its control area as described below under Leaching.2. Your warlock can spend fury points to upkeep spells as described below under USpells.

3. Make a threshold check for each of your warbeasts with 1 or more fury points lefAny warbeasts that fail the check immediately frenzy as described below under Thr& Frenzy.

Actvaton Phase: Activate your models in any order. Each model can move and thena combat action.

FuryWarlocks begin the game with a number of fury points equal to their FURY stat, and warbegin the game with 0 fury points. During the Activation Phase, warlocks can spenpoints, and warbeasts can be forced to gain fury points. During your Control Phasewarlockrepenshes his fury points by leaching fury from the warbeasts in his battlewhich simultaneously gives him more fury to spend and his warbeasts greater capacityforced. Warlocks can spend fury points only during their activations.

A warlock can force his warbeasts or leach from those warbeasts only if they are in his area. This control area covers 360, to a distance equal to twice the warlocks FURY in

HOrDes Quick start rulesMODels & MaterialsWarlOcks

WARlOCk is a tremendously powerful sorcerer, shaman, or druid with the ability toontrol a group of warbeasts telepathically. A warlock is a deadly opponent highly skilled inoth physical combat and arcane spel lcasting. A warlock c an force warbeas ts to attack withreater accuracy, perform exceptional feats of strength, and launch deadly special attacks,l of which generate FURY. During a confrontation the warlock can leach this fury from his

warbeasts and use it to boost his combat abilities, heal himself or his beasts, transfer his ownnjuries onto warbeasts, or cast formidable spells. A warlock can also tap the dormant innateower (called the animus) of the warbeasts brought to battle.

Warlocks are both the tie that binds the horde and its weakest link. If a warlock falls, hiswarbeasts lose interest in the ght and head home.

ESTROY YOUR OPPONENTS WARlOCk TO WiN THE GAME!

WarbeastsWarbeasts are mighty creatures born or trained to ght and drawn from the wilds of theontinent of Immoren: deep in the forests, mountains, frozen tundra, or desert wastes. Theyre smarter than animals but more primitive and savage than the cultured races leading theattles across the face of Immoren. Each of the armies in HORDES brings distinct types of

warbeasts to their battles and employs specialized techniques in recruiting and controllinghem. Once warbeasts are brought to ght, the fury of their attacks strengthens their warlocks,nd together they create an almost unstoppable synergy.

Warbeasts would be termed the most terrible of monsters by civilized nations, for each isapable of ripping a dozen armed men limb from limb. Many have had their considerableatural abilities enhanced by being outtted with heavy armor and the best-made weapons

heir warlocks can nd. Most have endured considerable training to capitalize on theirbilities and ght ably alongside both warriors and warlocks. Though warbeasts are capablef acting on their own, a warlocks dominating will overrides their individuality in all but the

most dire of circumstances.

tat carDs

Orcing Warbeastswarbeast must be in its warlocks control area (but does not require line of sight) to be

orced. When a warbeast is forced, declare the desired effect and place 1 fury point on it. Thisury point does not come from the warlock; the warbeast itself generates it. A warbeast cane forced several t imes during its act ivation, but i t can never have a fury point total higherhan its current FURY. A warbeast cannot be forced if the fury point gained would cause

to exceed its current FURY. Fury points remain on warbeasts until removed by leaching,eaving, or a special rule.

eacHingWarlocks can use the fury points generated by their warbeasts, but they do not receive them

utomatically. A warlock can leach fury points from warbeasts in his battlegroup that are inis control area during his controllers Control Phase. Fury points leached from a warbeast areemoved from it and placed on the warlock.

warlock can also leach fury points from his own life force during his controllers Controlhase. For each fury point a model leaches in this way, he suffers 1 damage point. Thisamage cannot be transferred.

warlock can leach any number of fury points but cannot exceed his FURY in fury points asresult of leaching. Leaching is performed at the start of the Control Phase before threshold

hecks are made or fury is spent to upkeep spells.

reaVing:Warlocks are able to capture the life essence of their warbeasts as they are destroyed. When

warbeast in a warlocks battlegroup is destroyed while in his control area, the warlock caneave the fury points on the warbeast. Before removing the destroyed model from the table,emove its fury points and place them on the warlock. A warlock cannot reave fury pointsom a warbeast in his battlegroup that was destroyed by a friendly attack or as a result ofansferring damage to the warbeast.

When reaving, a warlock must take all the warbeasts fury, but the warlock cannot exceed hisURY in fury points as a result of reaving. Excess fury points gained from reaving are lost.

sPenDing Fury POintswarlock can spend fury during his activation or a warbeast can be forced during its

ctivation for the following effects:

ddtona Attac: A warlock can spend fury or a warbeast can be forced to make andditional melee or ranged attack as part of its combat action, at 1 fury point per additionalttack.

oost Attac & Damage Ros: A warlock can spend fury or a warbeast can be forced to addn extra die to any one of its attack or damage rolls, called boosting, at 1 fury point per roll.oosting must be declared before rolling dice for the roll. Each attack or damage roll can beoosted only once, but a model can boost multiple rolls during its turn.

hae knocdown: During the Control Phase after resolving threshold checks and frenzies,knocked down warlock can spend 1 fury point or a knocked down warbeast can be forced

o stand up.

Warbeasts can also be forced during their activation for the following effects:

un or Charge: A warbeast can be forced to run or charge this activation.

ower Attac: A warbeast can be forced to make a power attack.

se Anmus: Once per activation, at any time, a warbeast can be forced to use its animus as

escribed under Animi below. Instead of gaining only 1 fury point when it is forced to uses animus, the warbeast gains a number of fury points equal to the COST of the animus. Awarbeast cannot use its animus during an activation it runs.

e: During its activation, a warbeast can be forced for the sole purpose of gaining furyoints. When a warbeast is riled, it can gain any number of fury points but cannot exceed itsurrent FURY. A warbeast can be riled even if it runs. (Riling does not have any immediateenet, but it gives a warlock access to additional fury next turn.)

Warlocks can also spend fury points during their activation for the following effects:

ast Spes: A warlock can spend fury points to cast spells. Each spells cost is specied ins description.

Heang: At any time during its activation, a warlock can spend fury points to heal damagee or a warbeast in his battlegroup that is in his control area has suffered. For each fury pointpent this way, the model heals 1 damage point.

scard Fury: During its activation, a warlock can remove any number of fury points fromimself. He can discard fury even if it runs. (Discarding fury does not have any immediateenet, but it allows a warlock to leach addi tional fury next turn.)

Warlocks can also spend fury points when they would suffer damage for the following effect:

ransferrng Damage: When a warlock would suffer damage, he can immediately spend aury point to transfer the damage to a warbeast in his battlegroup that is in his control area.he warbeast suffers the damage instead of the warlock suffering it. Determine where to mark

he damage normally. Transferred damage is not limited by the warbeasts unmarked damagercles, and any damage exceeding the warbeasts unmarked damage circles is applied to the

warlock and cannot be transferred again. A warlock cannot transfer damage to a warbeasthat has a number of fury points equal to its FURY stat. A warlock is still considered to haveuffered damage even if the damage is transferred.

tHresHOlD & Frenzyapping into the primal energies of vicious warbeasts is not without risks. The fury generatedy pushing a warbeast can potential ly send it into a blind rage, caus ing it to frenzy. Duringour Control Phase, after your warlocks have leached fury from their warbeasts and spentury to upkeep their spells, each of your warbeasts with 1 or more fury points remaining on

must make a successful threshold check or frenzy. To make a threshold check, roll 2d6 anddd 1 to the roll for each fury point on the warbeast. If the roll exceeds the warbeasts currenthreshold (THR) stat, it fails and frenzies.

A frenzied warbeast immediately activates and charges the nearest model in line of sigh

A frenzied warbeast never makes special attacks. It chooses the initial melee attacks and makes one attack with its highest POW melee weapon. The attack has boosted attadamage rolls. The warbeast cannot make any additional attacks.

At the end of the warbeasts frenzy activation, you can remove any number of fury poinit. Because a frenzied warbeast activates in the Control Phase, it cannot activate duriActivation Phase that turn.

cOMbatFacingThe 180 arc in front of a models shoulders denes its front arc, which determiperspective of the battleeld; the opposite 180 denes its back arc. A model is facing amodel when the second model is within the rst models front arc. A model is drecty

another model when the center of its front arc aligns with the center of the second mbase.

line OF sigHtA model has line of sight to another model if it can draw a straight, unobstructed line frbase to any part of the target model that remains in its front arc.

A model can draw line of sight to a target over the bases of other models if those modesmaller bases than the target. A model cannot draw line of sight over the bases of mwhose bases are equal to or larger than the targets.

MOVeMentThe rst part of a models activation is its movement. A model must move or formovement before making its combat action. A moving models base cannot pass over amodels base. A model can change its facing anytime during its movement, but when it it must always move in the direction it is facing.

Fu Advance: A model making a full advance moves up to its current SPD in inches.

Run: A running model moves up to twice its SPD in inches, and its activation ends immeafter it ends its movement. A warbeast must be forced in order to run. A model that

its action cannot run during its normal movement that activation. A warlock that runs ccast spells or use feats that turn. A warbeast that runs cannot use its animus that turn.

Charge: A charging model moves up to its SPD plus 3 along any straight line that wilinto melee range with its target. A warbeast must be forced in order to charge. A modepenalties to SPD or movement cannot charge. A model can attempt to charge any moits line of sight. A charging model cannot change its facing while charging but must tdirectly face its target at the end of its movement. If a charging model does not reach itsits activation immediately ends. If the charging model reaches its target, it can makeattacks. If it moved at least 3, its rst melee attack is a charge attack. Charge attack drolls are automatically boosted.

cOMbat actiOnsAfter its movement, a model can normally make one attack with each of its melee weapranged weapons. A model cannot make both a ranged attack and a melee attack durisame activation. Warlocks can spend fury and warbeasts can be forced to make addattacks, but a ranged weapon cannot exceed its ROF. A model making more than one can divide them among any eligible targets. Instead of attacking normally, a model canone special attack (HAttack) and can still spend fury or be forced to make additional n

attacks of the same type (additional melee attacks after aH

Attack from a melee weaadditional ranged attacks after a HAttack from a ranged weapon).

An attack hits its target if the attack roll total equals or exceeds the targets DEF. When a makes a melee attack roll, it rolls 2d6 + MAT, and when a model makes a ranged attait rolls 2d6 + RAT. Boosted attack rolls gain an additional die, signicantly increasinchances of success. An attack roll that results in all 1s is an automatic miss. If the attmodel rolled two or more dice, an attack roll that results in all 6s is an automatic hitattack hits, make a damage roll and apply the special effects of that weapon.

Melee attacksA model can make a melee attack against any target in its line of sight that is in meleeof the weapon being used. A models melee range extends 0.5 beyond its front arc foweapons or 2 for a weapon with the Reach weapon ability . A model with an enemyin its melee range is engagng that enemy, and a model in an enemys melee range is enby that enemy. A model that moves out of its enemys melee range suffers a free strike

Free Stre: A model can make a free attack with any melee weapon against an enopponent that moves out of its melee range or line of sight. It gets a +2 bonus to the attaand the damage roll is boosted.

POWer attacksPower attacks are a type of special attack (HAttack) available to warbeasts. These Quicrules provide just a sampling of the warbeast power attacks that shake the battleeHORDES.

A warbeast must be forced to make a power attack. When a warbeast makes a power do not apply the special abilities on its weapons.

A model cannot make a power attack as its charge attack. Power attacks are melee attacka 0.5 range. As with other melee special attacks, warbeasts can be forced to make addattacks with melee weapons after making a power attack.

Head-butt: A model making a head-butt power attack smashes its head into a model toit to the ground. The attacking model makes a melee attack roll against its target. If the hits, the target is knocked down and suffers a damage roll with a POW equal to the attacurrent STR.

A model cannot head-butt a model with a larger base.

Sam: A model making a slam power attack rams a model with the full force of its bsend the target model ying backward and knock it to the ground. Any effects that pre

model from charging, such as a penalty to its SPD, also prevent the model from making a slamower attack. A model must have both its normal movement and its action available in order

o use its normal movement to make a slam power attack.

uring its activation, a model can attempt to slam any model that is in its line of sight at theeginning of its normal movement. A knocked down model cannot be slammed.

eclare the slam attempt and its target, then turn the slamming model to directly face theam target. The slamming model advances its full SPD plus 3 directly toward its target. Theamming model cannot voluntarily stop its movement unless its target is in its melee range,ut it can end this movement at any point within 0.5 of its target. It must stop if it contactsnother model. The slamming model cannot change its facing during or after this movement.

slamming model that ends its slam movement within 0.5 of its target has made a successfulam. If it advanced at least 3 it makes a melee attack roll against its target. A model thatower attack slams a model with a larger base suffers 2 on its attack roll. If the attack hits,

he target is slammed directly away from the attacker.

a slamming model makes a successful slam but moved less than 3, it has not moved fastnough to get its full weight and power into the blow. The model makes an attack roll againsts target. If the target is hit, it suffers a damage roll with a POW equal to the attackers currentTR but is not slammed.

model that does not end its slam movement within 0.5 of the target has failed its slamower attack, and its activation ends.

eing Slammed: A slammed model is moved d6 directly away from its attacker and is thennocked down. If the slamming model has a smaller base than the slam target, the target

model is slammed half the distance rolled. It then suffers slam damage as described below. Aammed model moves through models with smaller bases than its own but stops if it contactsmodel with an equal or larger-sized base.

am Damage: Apply slam damage after the movement and knockdown effects. The model hituffers a damage roll with a POW equal to the attackers current STR. Add an additional dieo the damage roll if the slammed model contacts a model with an equal or larger-sized base.am damage can be boosted.

ollateral Damage: If a slammed model contacts a model with an equal-sized base or moveshrough a model with a smaller-sized base, the contacted model is knocked down and suffersollateral damage. A model taking collateral damage suffers a damage roll with a POW equal tohe attackers current STR. Collateral damage cannot be boosted. A contacted model with a larger-zed base than the slammed model does not suffer collateral damage and is not knocked down.

rangeD cOMbatmodel in melee combat (either engaged by an enemy or engaging an enemy) cannot make

anged attacks. A model can declare a ranged attack against any target in its line of sight.eclare the attack before measuring range. If the target is beyond maximum range, the attack

utomatically misses.

mng Bonus: A model can choose to forfeit its movement to gain a +2 aiming bonus to itsanged attack rolls during its combat action that turn.

arget-n-Meee Penaty: A model that targets a model engaged by an enemy or engaging annemy suffers a penalty of 4 to its ranged attack rolls and magic attack rolls.

pray Attacs: An attack with a RNG listed as SP 6, SP 8, or SP 10 is a spray attack.Make a ranged attack roll against every model (friendly and enemy) in a straight path 1 wide

nd the indicated distance long (6, 8, or 10) from the attackers front arc. Spray attacks

gnore the Stealth advantage, and an attacker never suffers a target-in-melee penalty whenmaking a spray attack.

attack sPecial eFFectsutomatc Effects: Apply weapon abilities that affect a model hit any time the attack roll

uccessfully hits the target. All models under the AOE are hit by an AOE attack.

rtca Effects: Apply weapon abilities that trigger on a critical hit when the attack rolluccessfully hits the target and any two dice in the attack roll show the same number. All

models under the AOE suffer the effects of a critical hit by an AOE attack.

nocdown: Some attacks and special rules cause a model to be knocked down. Whilenocked down a model cannot move, make actions, make attacks, cast spells, use animi, orse feats and does not have a melee range. A knocked down model does not engage other

models and cannot be engaged by them. A melee attack roll against a knocked down modelutomatically hits. A knocked down model has a base DEF of 5 against ranged and magicttacks. A knocked down model does not block line of sight and cannot be slammed.

knocked down model can stand up at the start of its next activation. If a model is knocked

own during its controllers turn, however, it cannot stand up until that players next turnven if it has not yet activated this turn. To stand up, a model must forfeit either its movementr its action for that activation. A model that forfeits its movement to stand can make anction, but it cannot make attacks involving movement, such as slams. A model that forfeits itsction to stand can use its normal movement to make a full advance but not to run or charge.

When a model stands, it ceases to be knocked down.
