A model part with this special rule may reroll all natural to-wound rolls of 1 in Close Combat.

Armoury
Repeater Crossbow:
Shooting Weapon. Range 24", Strength 3, Armour Piercing (1) , Multiple Shots (2).
Repeater Handbow:
Shooting Weapon. Range 12", Strength 3, Quick to Fire, Multiple Shots (2)

Cults

Cult of Nabh

Cult of Yema

Model parts with the Cult of Nabh gain Hatred, and lose
Killer Instinct if they had it.

Model parts with the Cult of Yema gain Strider and +1

Movement (also affects mounts), and lose Killer Instinct
if they had it.

Cult Rivalry
A model can never belong to more than one Cult. Units containing models belonging to a Cult cannot benefit from Hold
Your Ground or Inspiring Presence from models from the other Cult. Characters belonging to a Cult cannot join units
which contain any model from the other Cult.

Cultist General
If the General belongs to a Cult, the Dread Elves army may not include models from the other Cult. All models taken
from core, except Blades of Nabh, gain the same Cult rule as the armys General (at no additional cost), and all units
(including Character models) that can optionally be upgraded to the same Cult as the General must do so.

Special Rules

Ch M Co R S D M

Magical Items
Magical Weapons
Headsmans Axe (110 pts) - Infantry only
Type: Great Weapon. Attacks with this weapon gain +3
Strength (instead of +2) and Multiple Wounds (2).
Beastmasters Lash (50 pts)
Type: Hand Weapon. The wearer gains +1 Attack when
using this weapon. Attacks made with this weapon are
always made at Strength 5 (regardless of modifiers).
Magical Armour
Crimson Mail (40 pts) - Infantry only
Type: Heavy Armour. For each unsaved wound inflicted
by the wearer in Close Combat, the wearer gains +1 to its
Armour Save (which cannot be improved better than 1+)
for the remainder of the game.
Talismans
Midnight Cloak (100 pts)
The wearer gains a Ward Save (3+) against Ranged
Attacks. The wearer also gains Lethal Strike and Multiple
Wounds (D3) in the first Round of Combat.
Amulet of Spite (70 pts)
If an enemy Wizard within 12" attempted casting a spell
in which two or more Magic Dice rolled a double, the
caster suffers a Miscast. A single casting roll cannot
result in more than one Miscast.
Enchanted Items
Ring of Shadows (80 pts)
The bearer's model and all Infantry models in its unit
count as being in Soft Cover. If one of the models affected
by this item is already in Soft Cover, it counts as being in
Hard Cover instead. Close Combat Attacks made against
the bearers model or any Infantry models in its unit
suffer -1 Weapon Skill (to a minimum of 1).

Arcane Items
Dagger of Moraec (20 pts)
During each friendly Magic Phase, after the Magic Flux
roll, the bearer may inflict D3 wounds onto its unit, with
no saves of any kind allowed. If the bearer does so, all
natural to-wound rolls of '1' from spells cast by the
bearer must be rerolled.
Wandering Familiar (50 pts)
At the start of each friendly Magic Phase you may place a
familiar counter with a 20x20mm base within 6" of the
owner. This familiar acts (and is subject to the same
restrictions) as a model of Standard Height for the
purpose of drawing Lines of Sight. It must be put more
than 1" away from other models and from Impassable
terrain. Once it is placed, the player must declare which
side of the familiar is the front. Whenever the bearer of
this item casts a non-bound spell, it may choose to use
the position of its familiar when drawing Line of Sight,
measuring Range and determining front arc (you must
use all of these or none at all). At the end of the Magic
Phase the familiar is removed.
Magical Standards
Banner of Gar Daecos (90 pts) - Lord of Dread with
Fleet Commander only
Corsairs and Dread Legionnaires in units within 6" of the
bearer gain a +1 to-wound modifier in Close Combat.
Banner of Blood (70 pts)
Any model parts with Killer Instinct in the bearers unit
may reroll failed to-wound rolls of '1' and '2' in Close
Combat.
