INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE 9TH AGE?
The 9th Age is an rules update for the 8th edition of warhammer fantasy battles, intended to be
considered a new version of the game, the 9th version. It is written by a group of players, and thus not
supported by GW.
All relevant rules can be found here:
http://www.the-ninth-age.com/news/
Feedback and suggestions are much welcomed, given here:
http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=98

HOW TO USE THE DOCUMENT

To use this document, you need the 8th edition rulebook along with FAQs and erratas (we recommend
using the ETC FAQ to complement the official faqs). Sections in FAQs corresponding to updated rules
found here should be ignored.
In this document you will find both new and updated rules, replacing both the general rules as well as
army specific rules. Before each chapter, a short description will tell you how to apply the chapter in
relation to the 8th edition rulebook.
To make the transition easier for old players, we have colour coded the most relevant changes (from
8th edition) in blue.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Replace/add the following sections to General Principles chapter of the rulebook. Keep all sections in
the rulebook not mentioned here.

ACTIVE/REACTIVE PLAYER

HEIGHT

The active player is the player whose turn it

currently is.
The reactive player is the player whose turn it
currently is not.

Models are divided into the following four heights:

1. Tiny: Swarms.
2. Small: Models with the unit types:
Warmachine, Infantry, War Beast.
3. Medium: Models with the unit types:
Cavalry, Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous
Beast, Monstrous Cavalry, Monster, Chariot,

player. Once both players have declared the usage
of abilities, the effects of the abilities resolve,
starting active player.

UNIT FACING

For example, if both players have an ability that

may be activated at the beginning of the magic
phase, the player whose magic phase it is must
choose if he is using his ability or not first. Then
the reactive player can choose if he is using his
ability or not. After this, the effects of both ability
resolve, starting with the active player's abilities.

A unit has 4 arcs: front, rear, and two flanks. Each

arc is determined by extending a straight line from
the corners of the unit's bases, in a 135 angle with
the unit's front (for the front arc), rear (for the
rear arc) or flanks (for the flank arcs), see figure 1.
Units on round bases don't have arcs (they can draw
Line of Sight from any point on their base in any
direction).

LINE OF SIGHT
A model can trace line of sight to its target (point
or unit) if you can extend a straight line from the
front of its base directly to its target, without
going out of the unit's front arc, and without being
interrupted by blocking terrain or by the base of a
model which has larger height than both the unit
and its target. Models in back ranks always draw
Line of Sight as if they were in the front rank, in
the same file(s) they are in.

A unit is considered to have a Line of Sight to a

of Sight.

MODELS AND UNITS

In warhammer, 'models' are used to represent
warriors fighting a battle. Everything on the same
base is considered the same model (I.E. a dragon
and its rider, or a cannon and its three crewmen
are both considered a single model). Some models
are comprised of more than one part, such as a
knight and its horse or a warmachine and its crew.
Whenever a rule, ability, spell (and so on) affects
such models, all parts of the model are affected.
If the different parts of the same model can be hit
separately (such as for a dragon and its rider), this
is model is known as a multi-part-model. Unless
noted otherwise, multi-part-models are treated as
a single model.
All models are part of a unit. Units are either a
group of models (arranged as described under
'forming a unit') or they are single models
operating on their own. Whenever a rule, ability,
spell (and so on) affects a 'unit', all models of the
unit are affected.

RECOVER WOUNDS
Some spells or abilities can recover wounds lost
earlier in the battle. The amount of wounds
recovered are noted in the ability (Recover [X]
Wounds). If a unit containing multiple models,
each model must recover all lost wounds before
another model can recover wounds. Characters
inside units never recover wounds from an ability
recovering wounds to his unit (characters only
recovers wounds when they are the only target of

the ability/spell). Recovering wounds can never

bring dead models back, and cannot (unless noted
otherwise) increase a models wound above his
starting number (any access wounds are lost).

RAISE WOUNDS
Some spells or abilities can raise wounds. Use the
rules for Recover Wounds with the following
exceptions. Raising wounds can bring dead models
back. First recover all lost wounds on models in the
unit (except characters), then bring models back in
the following order, champion, standard bearer,
musician, rank-and-file. Each raised model must be
recovered to his starting wounds before another
model can be raised. This cannot (unless noted
otherwise) raise a units number above its starting
number (any access wounds are lost).

SUMMONED UNITS
Summoned Units are units created during the game
as a result of a Spell or an Ability. All models of a
newly summoned unit must deployed within the
range of the spell/ability, and at least 1" away from
other units and impassable terrain. If the (whole)
unit cannot be deployed, then no models can be
deployed (you may still apply the lore attribute if
applicable).
Once summoned, the newly created units operate
as a normal unit on the caster's side. Unless noted
otherwise, summoned units are not worth any
victory points.

WIZARDS

SPELLS

Spells are abilities that can be cast during the

magic phase. A wizard (usually) knows an amount
of spells equal to his wizard level. These are
randomized before the game using the rules given
under spell generation. Most spells are parts of a
lore of magic, described under Lores of Magic.
Each of your wizards has to choose an available
lore to generate spells from. This choice has to be
written down in your army list.
All spells are defined by using the following 5
properties:
Name
This a the name of the spell. Use this to describe
which spell you intend to cast.

Duration
A spell's duration determines how long the effects
of the spell are applied.
Effect
The effect of a spell defines what happens (usually
to the target of the spell) when the spell is
successfully cast (and not dispelled).

SPELL TYPES
Augment

units/models as targets.

Missile
Spells with the target restriction Missile may only
choose targets in the caster's Line of Sight. A Missile
spell cannot be cast if the caster (or his unit) is
engaged in close combat though.
Range X
Spells usually have a maximum range indicated
with Range X. Only targets within the given
distance can be chosen.

Line Template
To resolve a Line Template spell draw a straight
line from the centre of the front of the caster's
base to the target. All models under this line are
affected by the spell. Note that this line is a
template and thus Look Out Sir! may be used
against damage effects.

[Unit type] only

There are many different versions of this target
restriction, such as 'infantry only', 'monstrous
cavalry only' etc. - only units of the stated unit
type can be chosen as targets.

SPELL DURATION
A spell's duration specifies how long the effects of
the spell are applied. A spells duration can either
be Instant, Temporary, Permanent or
Remains in Play (RiP) as described below:

Instant
If a spell is marked as Instant the effect of the
spell has no lasting duration - effects are applied

moment the spell could normally have been

dispelled (see magic phase sequence).

Temporary
If a spell is marked as Temporary the effect of
the spell lasts until the start of the caster's next
magic phase. If an affected unit is divided into
several units (most common example being a
character leaving his unit), each of the units
formed this way keeps being affected by the
spell's effects.

Each magic phase is divided into the following subphases. Apply the list chronologically from 1-8.
1. Magic phase pre-phase. Start of phase

performed an action during step 4-7. Each
time an action is performed, go back to
step 4 after finishing steps 4-7.
8. Magic phase post-phase. End of phase
triggered abilities resolve.

Permanent
If a spell is marked as Permanent the effect of
the spell lasts until the end of the game or until a
designated ending condition (as detailed in the
spell's effect) is met. Permanent spells can never
be removed by any other means than the way
described in the spell. If an affected unit is
divided into several units (most common example
being a character leaving his unit), each of the
units formed this way keeps being affected by the
spell's effects.
Remains in Play (RiP)
If a spell is marked as Remains in Play the effect
of the spell remains in play (abbreviation: 'RiP')
until the spell is dispelled or the caster is slain. If
an affected unit is divided into several units (most
common example being a character leaving his
unit), each of the units formed this way keeps
being affected by the spell's effects. A player can
dispel RiP spells during the magic phase, at a time
defined by the magic phase sequence. A caster can
automatically dispel his own active RiP spells
without using any magic dice, while an opposing
caster must make a dispel attempt. To successfully
dispel an opposing Remains in Play spell, the
dispel attempt must be equal to or greater than
the lowest required casting value of the spell
(ignoring casting values of boosted versions). Until
the Remains in Play spell has ended, the spell
cannot be cast again by the same caster. If the
caster of the spell is slain, the spells effects are
automatically dispelled at the first possible

THE MAGIC PHASE SEQUENCE

MAGIC DICE
In the magic phase, spells are cast and dispelled by
using magic dice. The active player has power dice,
the reactive player dispel dice. Both power and
dispel dice are referred to as magic dice. These
dice are kept in a pool of dice, from which a
number of dice can be used to either cast or dispel
spells, as described below.
No more than 12 magic dice can ever be used by a
single player during a single magic phase.

WINDS OF MAGIC
1. Active player rolls 2D6.
2. The power dice pool is equal to the sum of
both D6.
3. The dispel dice pool is equal to the highest
D6 rolled.
4. On top of these magic dice, some abilities
can add extra magic dice. The maximum
number of extra magic dice added per
player is half the highest D6 rolled
(rounding fractions up). Any excess dice
are immediately lost.
5. The active player channels with all his
wizards and in addition with all models or
units which have the channeling ability.
6. The reactive player channels with all his
wizards and in addition with all models or
units which have the channeling ability.
For example, if a Wind of Magic roll is 2 and 5, the
power dice pool will contain out of 7 dice (2+5),
the dispel dice pool will contain out of 5 dice. The
maximum number of additional dice generated by
magic items/abilities or channeling on top if these
dice is 3 (5/2 = 2.5, which is rounded up to 3).
CHANNELLING
All wizards have channelling. Some non-wizard
units have channeling, if so, this is clearly marked
under their special rules. Roll a D6 for each unit
with channelling, add one magic dice to your
power of dispel dice pool for each 6+ rolled this
way. Note that the maximum amount of additional
dice this way is limited (as described above).

SPELL CASTING SEQUENCE

The active player may attempt to cast spells
during the magic phase, with one or more of his
wizards or units with bound spells.
Each of your wizards (or units with bound spells)
may attempt to cast each of his spell up to one
time per magic phase. If a spell is cast, the
reactive player may make a single dispel attempt
to nullify the spell that was just cast. If no
successful dispel attempt was made or the
reactive player did not want to dispel the spell,

the spells effects are applied first, afterwards the

lore attribute is resolved.
The following procedure has to be followed, if a
casting attempts is made:
1. The active player declares which wizard is
casting which spell. If applicable, also
declare which version of the spell is used
and what its targets are. Furthermore any
targets for the spells attribute are
declared.
2. The active player declares how many power
dice he will use to attempt to cast the
spell. A minimum of 1 dice must be used
and no more than 5 dice can be used.
3. The active player rolls that many power
dice (from the power pool, provided he has
enough dice).
4. Add the results of the rolled dice together.
Add any casting modifiers (such as wizard
levels) to this total. This is the casting roll.
5. The cast attempt is successful if the casting
roll is equal to or higher than the spell's
casting value. If the casting roll is less than
the casting value, the cast attempt failed,
the caster suffers from lost focus, skip to
step 15.
6. If the casting attempt was successful the
reactive player player may choose to make
a dispel attempt. If no dispel attempt is
being made, skip to step 11.
7. The reactive player declares which (if any)
of his wizards will attempt to dispel the
spell and how many dispel dice he will use.
A minimum of 1 dice must be used. Note
that dispel attempts may be attempted
even without having a wizard.
8. The reactive player rolls that many dispel
dice (from the dispel pool, provided he has
enough dice).
9. Add the results of the rolled dice together.
Add any dispel modifiers (such as wizard
levels and aided dispels) to this total. This
is the dispel roll.
10. The dispel attempt is successful if the
dispel roll is equal to or higher than the
casting roll. If so, skip to step 15. If the
dispel roll is less than the casting roll, the
dispel attempt failed, the dispelling wizard

the unit suffers one hit for each model in the unit
with a strength equal to the number of power dice
used to cast the spell. Additionally, if 4 or 5 Power
Dice were used, the unit cannot cast the spell
again for the rest of the game. Wizard Conclave
units cannot use the Aided Dispel rule (neither
when they dispel nor when other wizard dispels).
Fast Cavalry
Models with Fast Cavalry special rule always also
have the Light Troops and Vanguard special rule.
If a unit consisting of only models with Fast Cavalry
special rule voluntarily declares charge reaction

result of a failed Terror test), and then
subsequently rallies in the following player turn,

allowance (or twice that much if marching),
measured from their starting position to their final
position, around any obstructions (including the
1). If the model did any action during the
movement (such as releasing fanatics or attacking
an enemy), then the distance moved is counted
from their starting position to the place in which
they performed an action to their final position.
Models with Light Troop special rule can shoot with
missile weapons even if they have march or
reformed in the same turn (still counts as moving).
Light Troops always counts as having zero ranks.
Mark of Chaos
There are different Marks of Chaos, each one with
a different effect, explained below. Which mark
has each model will be stated in brackets. Models
with a Mark of Chaos other than Undivided cannot
join units with one or more models with a Mark of
Chaos other than the same as themselves or
Undivided. Models who choose a Mark of Chaos as
an option must specify which mark they have on
the army list.
Undivided. Models with the Mark of Chaos
(Undivided) can reroll failed Panic tests
Nurgle. When rolling to hit against a model
with the Mark of Chaos (Nurgle), any
natural roll of 6 must be rerolled.

(Slaanesh) have Armour Piercing

(Tzeentch) have a 6+ Ward Save and may
reroll any natural Ward Save result of 1
Khorne. Models with the Mark of Chaos
(Khorne) have +1 Strength for the first
round of any combat they take part in.
Wizards cannot use, have, or gain this Mark
in any way.

Skirmishers
Models with Skirmisher special rule always also
have the Light Troops special rule.
Skirmishing units are not placed in base to base
contact with each other. Instead, models are
placed with a distance between them. Other
than this empty space between models, follow the
normal rules for forming units (they still have
front, flanks, rear etc).
Shooting at units with the skirmishing special rule
suffers a -1 to hit penalty.
If a skirmishing unit declares a charge, or a charge
reaction other than flee, they immediately
contract their loose formation into a normal
formation (without the distance between
models). When doing this, the model closest to the
charged or charging unit must not change position.
Only non-mounted characters can join units with
the skirmish special rule. When doing so, the
character gains the skirmish special rule for as long Ambush
as he is with the unit.
A unit with the Ambush special rule may elect not
to be deployed normally. After all units have been

table edge, using the rules for reinforcements. If

an ambushing unit does not roll 3+ to enter the
board before the game ends, the unit counts as
dead.
Scout
A unit with the Scout special rule may elect not to
be deployed normally. After all units have been
deployed, any units with Scout that was not
deployed are said to be scouting. Scouting units
are set-up after all non-scouting units have been
deployed. They can either be deployed in your
deployment zone using the normal rules, or they
can be deployed outside the deployment zone, but
must be more than 12 away from any enemy
units. Scouting units deployed outside their
deployment zone may not declare chagres in the
first player turn. If both players have scouting
units, alternate deploying units (roll off for who
goes first)

SCORING AND VICTORY CONDITIONS

Replace the section Victory Conditions under Fighting a Warhammer Battle (including subsections).
Notwithstanding Scenarios (note from Authors, scenarios will be released in later version of the 9th
age), at the end of each game add up your Victory Points (VP) according to the rules below:
Dead or fled: For each enemy unit killed or which has fled the battlefield, you gain a number
of VP equal to its value in points
Scared: For each enemy unit fleeing on the battlefield at the end of the game, you gain a
number of VP equal to half its value in points (rounding up)
Decimated: For each enemy unit at or below 25% of its starting wound count at the end of the
game, you gain a number of VP equal to half its value in points (rounding up). Characters are
counted separately from units they have joined, but Ridden Monsters count as a single unit
composed by two parts: Ridder and Monster
Their King is dead: If the enemy General was killed or fled the battlefield, you gain 100 VP
Their flag is down: If the enemy BSB was killed in combat or broke from combat, you gain 100
VP
Seized standards: For each enemy units standard model killed in combat or which broken from
combat, you gain 25 VP

CHOOSING YOUR ARMY

The following chapter completely replaces the Choosing Your Army section (pages 132-135) in the
rulebook.
When composing your army, some rules must be followed to ensure that the result is a coherent force.
Armies can be taken from any Warhammer: Armies book and from the Legion of Azgorh Army List from
the Thamurkan Book by Forgeworld, with the modifications that appear on the Army section at the end
of this document.
Army list entries are divided into the following categories:
Characters (Heroes and Lords). A maximum of 50% of the Points of your army may be
characters. Furthermore, the same character choice cannot be taken more than 3 times,
regardless of differences in mounts, equipment, or Special Rules
Core. Being the backbone of the army, Core units must compose at least 25% of your army
Points. Core units are common enough so you can take each different Core unit up to 4 times
Special. Special units are typical of the army, although not so much as to be part of its Core
section. Each Special unit can be taken up to 3 times in the same army.
Rare. Rare units are difficult to enlist, and therefore your army cannot spend more than 25% of
its army Points in Rare units. Furthermore, each Rare unit can be taken up to 2 times in the
same army
Aside from this, there are other requirements that you must pay attention to when building your army
The size of a battle is determined by the points limit on the armies. Each unit you add to your
army list has a points value. When adding up the points value of all your units, this total can
never exceed the determined points limit. Sometimes its not possible to reach the exact
agreed upon points limit, and you are therefore allowed to be slightly below (no more than 20
pt) the limit.
Every army must nominate one of its characters as the General. This implies that it must have
at least one character who is able to be the General of the army.
There are some One of a kind units or characters (for example, all special named characters
are Unique). Unique units or characters can only be taken once per army, regardless of it being
otherwise Core, Special, Rare, Hero or Lord. Its points still count towards the relevant category
Units size differ greatly. While there are many rabbles made up of many many models, other
elite units have much lower numbers. To represent this, no unit (including any upgrades,
command, equipment) may cost more than 450 points. Characters are not affected by this
rule.
-Note from authors, 450 points limit will be removed once all armies have been updated
Sometimes on the battlefield the armies that clash are much bigger than usual. Armies of 4000
points or more are considered Grand Armies. All limits for the number of repeated units and
characters are doubled for this kind of armies. This includes (non-character) Unique units,
which can be taken up to 2 times in a Grand Army.
Sometimes on the battlefield the armies that clash are much smaller than usual. Armies of less
than 1500 points are considered Warbands. All limits for the number of repeated units and
characters are halved (rounding up) for this kind of armies.
Some units have a special repetition allowance to be taken more times than what their
category would otherwise them allow to. In such cases, the regular limits change to the
relevant limit stated.
