BATTLESCROLLS
Battlescrolls allow you to add unique battlefield formations to your games of
Warhammer. Each Battlescroll lists the units that make up the formation, and the
special rules that apply to them in order to represent the fighting qualities that they
possess. The following rules describe how you can use Battlescrolls in your games of
Warhammer.
BATTLESCROLL FORMATIONS
When you choose an army, you can take one or more Battlescroll formations as part of
your army. The Battlescroll will tell you what units you need to take in order to field
the formation, and what, if any, extra options or restrictions apply to the units that
make it up. The army list entries for each unit in the formation (the units’ profiles,
points values, unit size, options, special rules, battlefield role etc.) can be found in the
army book for the unit in question.
FORMATION SPECIAL RULES
Each formation includes one or more special rules associated with the units that make
up that formation. The special rules for a formation only apply to the units that make it
up (even if there are other units of the same type in your army).
ALLIED FORMATIONS
Formations do not have to be chosen from the same army book as the rest of your
army. If you decide to do this, then formations made up of units from different army
books follow the rules for Allied Armies on pages 136-139 of the Warhammer rulebook.
FORMATION POINTS VALUES
Formations do not usually include a points value; just add up the points value of the
individual units and options to find out the total points value of the formation.
Occasionally a formation will require that you pay extra points in order to use it. In this
case, the cost of the formation is the total cost of the units plus any extra points the
Battlescroll specifies you have to pay.
The points value of the units in the formation count against the total points allowed for
your army, but are not included when working out the percentage of points spent on
different categories of unit. For example, a formation with 500 points worth of models
would count as 500 points towards the total number of points allowed for your army,
but would not count towards the number of points spent on lords, heroes, core units,
special units or rare units in your army.
If you wish, you can field an army made up exclusively of formations chosen from
Battlescrolls. If you choose to do this, then you do not have to spend 25% of the points
for your army on core units, and you do not have to select a model as the General if the
formations that you use do not include any character models.

THE NIGHTGUARD
The Madman of Mousillion, Pitre Fonce, was a reclusive noble of that Bretonnian
city. He secretly studied the dark arts of Necromancy. In his growing madness,
the twisted Necromancer began to use his fell powers to terrorise that region. He
raised an army of the Restless Dead to wreak his foul will upon those that dared
disagree with him. The Black Duke – a fearsome Wight King raised from the
Grimnoire Barrows, led the Necromancer’s assault force. The Undead troops
themselves were raised from the burial chambers of his own fortress, but in his
lust for power and revenge, the Necromancer cared not that he raised the
remains of his ancestors to commit his foul acts. Under cover of darkness the
Undead would march over cobblestoned streets to reach their destination.
Peasants pulled shutters tight while the dead walked by – a phenomenon they
called the coming of the Nightguard. Guided to their target by the Necromancer’s
evil will, the Undead armies would attack only their named targets, or any who
dared get in their way. They stormed the tower of the Marquis Rocher and killed
its lord, putting his head upon a spike of his own iron gates. So fell a dozen of the
local nobility. Although many suspected the long-lived and eccentric Pitre, none
were so bold as to openly accuse him – for they feared they would be the next to
hear the march of the Nightguard…
