First War Against Chaos

General Rules

A Time of Heroes

The desperate times after the collapse of the Old Ones Polar Gates gave rise to heroes and villains of a

calibre never to be seen again.

In order to allow these mighty individuals to be fielded the 25% points allowance for both Lords and

Heroes are combined during games set in this era. This means for example that in a 2000pt game you

would be able to spend 1000pts on either Lords of Heroes or any mix thereof.

Winds of Magic

Unhindered by the Vortex the Winds of Magic blew much stronger in this age then they do in the later

ages of the world.

To represent the increased strength of the Winds of Magic whenever a player rolls for them they roll

2d6 per 3000pts or part thereof. For instance in a 4500pt game the Winds of Magic would be rolled for

using 4d6, the dispel dice total is equal to the sum of the highest two dice. The maximum amount of

power dice which may be generated is equal to the highest possible roll for winds of magic at that points

value. So in a 4500pt game the maximum amount of power dice a player can hold at any one time is 24.
