## Alliegiance Abilities - Beastmen

This section describes the allegiance abilities available to a BEASTMEN army, including battle traits for the army, command traits for its general and the artefacts of power available to its heroes. BEASTMEN armies can include only include units with the BEASTS OF CHAOS keyword. They have the same allies available as BEASTS OF CHAOS armies.

</div>

### Battle Traits

##### The Herdstone
*The foul megaliths erected by the
Beasts of Chaos warp and corrupt
the land around them.*

After territories have been chosen
but before players begin to set up
their armies, you can set up one
HERDSTONE (pg 103, Battletome: Beasts of Chaos) wholly within
your territory, more than 12" from
enemy territory and more than 1"
from any other terrain features. If
both players can set up a terrain
feature in this manner, each player
rolls a dice, rolling again in the case
of a tie, and whoever rolls higher
can choose the order in which the
terrain features are set up.

##### Chaotic Herds
*The strange and varied forms of the Beastmen each have their own distinct tactics on the battlefield*
* **Brayherd Ambush:** Instead of setting up a BRAYHERD
unit on the battlefield, you can
place it to one side and say that it
is set up in ambush as a reserve
unit. You can set up one reserve
unit in ambush for each BEASTS
OF CHAOS unit you have set up on
the battlefield. At the end of your movement phase, you **can** set
up any of these units that
are in ambush on the battlefield,
wholly within 6" of the edge of the
battlefield and more than 9" from
any enemy units. Any units which are not set up on the battlefield before the start of **the fourth battle round** are slain.

* **Creatures of the Storm:** At the start of your hero phase,
roll a dice. Each friendly
THUNDERSCORN unit more than
3" from any enemy units can move a
distance in inches equal to the roll,
but cannot move within 3" of any
enemy units. **If the roll is a 3+, each enemy unit within 3" of a friendly THUNDERSCORN unit suffers a mortal wound.**

* **Bloodgorge:** At the end of the combat phase, if
any attacks made by a WARHERD
unit in that combat phase destroyed
any enemy units, heal D3 wounds
allocated to that WARHERD unit. **In addition, that WARHERD unit re-rolls failed wound rolls for the remainder of the game.**

\columnbreak

##### Primal Fury
*The Primal Herds of the Beastmen are consumed with a savage fury at the promise of battle.*

**At the beginning of your combat phase, each friendly BEASTS OF CHAOS BATTLELINE unit that is within 3" of an enemy unit must roll a die. If the result is lower than their Bravery characteristic, they add 1 to hit rolls until the end of the turn.**

##### Desecrators of Civilization
*Of all the beastmen, Gors in particular enjoy capturing and defiling symbols of civilization.*

**Friendly GORS units add 1 to their wound rolls and Attacks characteristic while within 6" of an objective.**

> ##### Designer's Note
> It would be preferable to buff the Gors warscroll to have 2 attacks and get a different bonus at ~15 models instead of the current 20+ one (and be 80 points). However, I did not want to edit warscrolls for this project.

##### Greatfrays
*Each of the Greatfrays wages war in
its own uniquely savage way.*

If your army is a Beastmen
army, you can give it a Greatfray
keyword. All BEASTS OF CHAOS
units in your army gain that
keyword. You can either choose
one of the Greatfrays listed below,
or choose another Greatfray you
have read about or created yourself.
If you choose one from the list
below, all units with that keyword
benefit from the extra abilities
listed for that Greatfray on the page
indicated. If you choose a different
Greatfray, simply pick the Greatfray
that most closely matches the
nature of your own.

* Allherd v2 (pg 2)
* Darkwalkers v2 (pg 3)
* Gavespawn v2 (pg 3)

\pagebreakNum

##### PRIMORDIAL CALL
*The din of battle and scent of gore
call to all Beasts of Chaos, beckoning
them to join the hunt.*

You can summon units of BEASTS
OF CHAOS to the battlefield if you
collect enough Primordial Call
points. At the start of your hero
phase, you receive 1 Primordial
Call point. In addition, in your hero
phase you can choose one friendly
BEASTS OF CHAOS HERO within
3" of the HERDSTONE you set up at
the start of the battle and say that
they will enact a savage blood ritual.
If you do so, pick a friendly BEASTS
OF CHAOS unit within 3" of the
HERDSTONE. That unit suffers D3
mortal wounds. For each mortal
wound inflicted on that unit, you
receive 1 Primordial Call point.

If you have 3 or more Primordial
Call points at the end of your
movement phase, you can summon
one or more units from the
following list onto the battlefield,
and add them to your army. Each
unit you summon costs a number of
Primordial Call points, as shown on
the list, and you can only summon a
unit if you have enough Primordial
Call points remaining to pay its
cost. Summoned units must be set
up wholly within 6" of the edge of
the battlefield and more than 9"
from any enemy units. Subtract the
cost of the summoned unit from the
number of Primordial Call points
you have available immediately
after it has been set up.

| Unit | Cost |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|1 Chimera |10|
|1 Ghorgon |10
|3 Tzaangor Skyfires |10
|1 Chaos Gargant| 9
|1 Cygor |9
|10 Tzaangors| 9
|3 Bullgors |8
|1 Jabberslythe| 8

## Allherd

*Ferocious and formidable, the Allherd are the most numerous of all the Greatfrays. Their teeming beastherds have
spread throughout the Mortal Realms, and by enfolding the most wily and powerful Chaos creatures into their
ranks, the Allherd ensures that its raging stampedes continue to grow.*

The beasts of the Allherd consider themselves to be
the ultimate despoilers of the Mortal Realms. Led by
bold and domineering alphabeasts, they surge towards
their enemies in the civilised lands, crushing all before
them through unbridled ferocity and sheer weight of
numbers. Though possessed of predatory cunning, the
bestial warriors of the Allherd relinquish their man-like
intelligence once they are in the thick of battle, allowing
their pure animal fury to be unleashed upon their foes.
Fear and reason are discarded, replaced by a primal
hunger for combat and desecration.

The wild domains of the Allherd are truly vast, and
they continually expand as the thronging beastherds
grow even larger. As the Allherd takes over more and
more territory, they engage in brutal internecine wars
with rival Greatfrays, butchering droves of their bestial
kin and recruiting the most powerful creatures from
amongst the defeated. In this way, the Allherd is always
replete with savage warriors who compete amongst each
other to prove their dominance.

The Allherd are an ever-present threat to the civilised
races, carrying out constant raids on outposts and
fortress towns, as well as launching massed stampedes
that obliterate whole nations. Their warpaths are so
redolent with anarchic fury that Chaos-warped beasts are
drawn from far and wide to join in the slaughter.

\columnbreak

### Abilities

##### Bestial Might
*The hordes of the Allherd thrive in the
thick of battle, where they rampage through enemy lines
uncowed and unstopped.*

**If an ALLHERD unit is wholly within 6" of an ALLHERD HERO, they can re-roll wound rolls of 1 for attacks made with melee weapons. In addition, increase the Bravery characteristic of ALLHERD units by 1 while they are within 3" of an enemy unit.**

##### Artefect of Power
The first ALLHERD HERO to receive an artefact of
power must be given the Blade of the Desecrator.

**Blade of the Desecrator:** *Said to be Chaos incarnate,
this weapon’s etched runes glow as it tears foes asunder.*

Pick one of the bearer’s melee weapons. Improve the
Rend characteristic of that weapon by 1 for attacks that
target a unit of 10 or more models. Improve the Rend
characteristic of that weapon by 2 instead for attacks
that target a unit of 20 or more models. Attacks made
by this weapon cannot have a Rend characteristic
greater than -3.

##### Command Trait
An **ALLHERD BEASTLORD** general must have this command trait
instead of one listed on pages 62-63.

**Dominator:** *This beast leads from the fore, hacking
into the foe to spur on his savage warriors.*

You can re-roll charge rolls made for friendly
ALLHERD units wholly within 18" of this general if
this general is within 3" of any enemy units.

##### Command Ability
**Booming Roar:** *A ferocious bellow resonates out into
the wilderness, beckoning all to join the great Allherd in
their slaughter.*

You can use this command ability at the start of your
hero phase. If you
do so, you receive 1 Primordial Call point.

\pagebreakNum

## Darkwalkers

*The Darkwalkers are apex ambushers who rule over the most remote places in each realm. Spiteful and wily, they
hunt by luring their prey deep into ancient forests and desolate wastelands, encircling enemy armies and cutting
off routes of escape before pouncing from the shadows to butcher the terrified enemy.*

The strength and ferocity of the Darkwalkers is equalled
only by their hateful cunning. More than any other
Greatfray they rely on surprise and misdirection when
laying waste to their foes. To the beasts of this Greatfray,
the land itself is a weapon to be used against the civilised
races, and they make use of tangled jungles, mistcovered
swamps and darkened mountain passes in order
to outmanoeuvre and outwit their enemies. Even the
most lumbering gor-kin or Thunderscorn beast of the
Darkwalkers is able to blend into the shadows, and from
there they loom over their unsuspecting prey and wait for
the time to strike.

Darkwalker beastherds are nomadic, travelling from land
to land as they spread anarchy and desecration. They can
cover great distance in impossibly short spans of time,
and are expert at cutting off fleeing foes or intercepting
reinforcing troops before they have adjoined the main
body of their army. The beasts of this Greatfray have an
instinctual understanding of Realmgates, and know the
locations and destinations of countless hidden portals.
By luring pursuing enemies through these secreted
gateways, the Darkwalkers scatter vast armies across
multiple realms before hunting down each isolated
pocket of foes. Should the enemy somehow manage
to regroup, the Darkwalkers simply retreat back into
the shadows, emerging once more where the enemy
leasts suspects.

\columnbreak

### Abilities

##### Shadowbeasts

*The Darkwalkers are apex ambushers,
luring their foes into the shadows before pouncing
upon them.*

WARHERD and THUNDERSCORN units in a
DARKWALKERS army are considered to have the
BRAYHERD keyword for the purposes of the Brayherd
Ambush battle trait (pg 3). **In addition, DARKWALKERS units can re-roll failed charge rolls if they were set up using the Brayherd Ambush battle trait in the same turn.**

##### Artefect of Power
The first DARKWALKERS HERO to receive an artefact
of power must be given the Desolate Shard.

**Desolate Shard:** *Roughly hewn and black as night, this
stone shard exudes the corruption of the Chaos wilds.*

**At the start of your hero phase**, the
bearer can use the Desolate Shard if they are within **1"**
of a terrain feature. If they do so, roll a dice for each
enemy unit within **3"** of that terrain feature. On a 4+
that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

##### Command Trait
A **DARKWALKERS BEASTLORD** general must have this command
trait instead of one listed on pages 62-63.

**Nomadic Leader:** *This swift and deadly alphabeast
drives his bestial kin to spread terror far and wide.*

Add 1 to run **and charge** rolls for friendly DARKWALKERS units
while they are wholly within 12" of this general.

##### Command Ability
**Savage Encirclement:** *Barking orders in an animal
tongue, the Darkwalkers alphabeast orders their
warriors back into the shadows, enabling them to prowl
unseen while they outflank the enemy.*

You can use this command ability at the end of
your movement phase. If you do so, pick a friendly
DARKWALKERS unit that is more than 9" from any
enemy units and wholly within 18" of a friendly
DARKWALKERS HERO. Remove that unit from the
battlefield and place it to one side. At the end of your
next movement phase, set that unit up again anywhere
on the battlefield more than 9" from any enemy units.

\pagebreakNum

## Gavespawn

*The Gavespawn are worshippers of the Chaos entity known as Morghur, and in his name they seek to reduce all of
existence to a writhing whirl of pure anarchy. Grotesquely twisted, even by the standards of the Beasts of Chaos,
the creatures of the Gavespawn launch stampedes to spread their devolvement throughout the civilised lands.*

The beasts of the Gavespawn skitter and crawl as they
charge across the battlefield, and in a frenzy of lashing
limbs they hack into their foes. Their savagery is
accompanied by unnatural howls and profane jabberings
that give praise to Morghur. After the enemy have been
massacred, the warped beasts take the mutilated remains
of the dead to their Herdstones, where they are offered up
to the Great Devolver.

More so than any other Beasts of Chaos, the creatures of
this Greatfray are abhorrent for a sane mind to behold,
their bodies contorted and their horns twisted into cruel
configurations. To the Gavespawn, there are no greater
creations of Chaos than Chaos Spawn, for they are seen
as the progeny of Morghur, to be emulated in their
mindlessness and impossibly warped form. The mightiest
Gavespawn champions may even receive the ultimate
blessing of their nightmarish patron and be reborn as a
Chaos Spawn when they are cut down in battle.

It is common amongst the Gavespawn for Bray-Shamans
to lead their beastherds, for they are the speakers of
Morghur’s word and the bringers of his mutative magic.
By steering the stampedes of their beastherds towards
nodes of warping energy, they seek to tear open the rents
between the Chaos and Mortal Realms, for they believe
that when all of existence is reduced to anarchy, Morghur
will be made manifest.

\columnbreak

### Abilities

##### Gift of Morghur
*The Gavespawn see spawndom not as
a curse, but as an ascension into devolution.*

If a friendly GAVESPAWN HERO is slain, **one CHAOS
SPAWN is added to your army.** Set up the CHAOS
SPAWN anywhere on the battlefield within 6" of the
slain HERO. If the HERO had the KHORNE, NURGLE,
SLAANESH or TZEENTCH keyword, the same keyword
must be chosen for the CHAOS SPAWN . If they did not,
you cannot use the Cursed of the Dark Gods ability to
choose a keyword for that CHAOS SPAWN .

##### Artefect of Power
The first artefact of power given to a GAVESPAWN
HERO must be the Mutating Gnarlblade.

**Mutating Gnarlblade:** *This weapon writhes with coiled
tentacles and fanged maws.*

Pick one of the bearer’s melee weapons. Add 2 to the
Damage characteristic of that weapon. However, each
unmodified hit roll of 1 for attacks made with that
weapon inflicts 1 mortal wound upon the bearer after
all of the bearer’s attacks have been made.

##### Command Trait
A **GAVESPAWN GREAT BRAY-SHAMAN** general must have this command trait
instead of one listed on pages 62-63.

**Unravelling Aura:** *In the presence of this alphabeast,
magic devolves into anarchic Chaos energy.*

This general can attempt to
unbind 1 additional spell in the enemy hero phase.

##### Command Ability

**Propagator of Devolution:** *The Gavespawn view
Chaos Spawn as holy creations of Morghur, and are
driven to emulate their frenetic savagery.*

You can use this command ability at the start of
the combat phase. If you do so, pick a friendly
GAVESPAWN unit wholly within 12" of a friendly
GAVESPAWN CHAOS SPAWN . Add 1 to the Attacks
characteristic of that unit’s melee weapons until the
end of that phase.
