WARHAMMER
LEGACY
Inofficial Rule Update Version 1.4
We love to play warhammer fantasy. So we try to keep it alive
by adding some rules which we will use in our games. It is not
meant to improve ballance, we think these changes improve...
... playability of all units, lower the amount of randomness
and change some overpowered units or rules.
All changes are highlighted only once, not every page is
mentioned. Disclaimer at the end of the document.
Page 19 – Movement
Minimum Charge Range is Mov value plus 5 (6 if swiftstride).

Successful chargers gain the special rule "allways strike first" in

Page 52 – Close Combat
A unit is disrupted if an enemy is attacked by more than one
side. A unit loses the steadfast rule for having more ranks if the
enemy units in the flank or the rear have a combined unit
strength of 5+.
Page 52 – Close Combat
add Rule "WE ARE MANY". During combat resolution, the side with
the higher unit strength present can add an additional: +1 if its combined
unit strength is more than twice as high the opponent's.
Page 55 – Close Combat
Insane Courage: Remove this rule.
Page 66- Special Rules
Allways Strike First: A charging unit gains ASF for the
duration of the current turn. A model can only re-roll failed
misses against enemys, if the model's initiative is higher than
the enemy's.
Page 72 – Special Rules
Magic resistance additionally grants a bonus to any dispel
attempts, if a unit with magic resistance becomes the target of
a spell (augment spells too).
Page 76- Special Rules
Stubborn: A unit is stubborn if at least 50% of it have that rule.
Page 74 – Special Rules
Regeneration is a saving throw. Regeneration is not a ward
save. Regeneration cannot be used against flaming attacks. If a
unit has been wounded by flaming attacks, it cannot use it's
regeneration for the remainder of the turn. Regeneration is
applied after multiple wounds are rolled. If a model with
regeneration suffers a number of wounds that
exceeds the number of wounds it has actually left, has to
regenerate the full amount of wounds that it is dealt.
Additionally, a unit with regeneration can try to regain a single
wound, at the end of each players turn, by passing a
regeneration throw(4+/5+/6+). Note that you can
regain lost models with this roll. It cannot do this in a turn in
which it has been wounded by flaming attacks.
