Using Characters

s well as units of troops, your army can include particularly heroic warriors. These are called "characters," and they have additional rules to reflect their unique abilities.

Along with having better profiles, characters are exceptional due to their ability to join and leave other units. When on their own, they form a unit of a single model. If they have joined another unit, they move and fight as part of that unit, albeit with a superior profile and a few other special rules.

GAMING AREA
Games of Warhammer are played on an area called a battlefield. Any suitably large flat area, such as a kitchen table or floor, can be used as the battlefield for this Battle for Skull Pass introductory battle. A roughly 3-4 square foot area will do just fine.
SET UP YOUR MODELS
Set up the models and scenery as shown in the Battle for Skull Pass scenario found on p. 25 of the Battle for Skull Pass getting started booklet. The two sides should start at least 18" apart.
FIGHTING THE BATTLE

1. The Night Goblins take a turn.
2. The Dwarfs take a turn.
3. If neither the Dwarfs nor the Night Goblins have won, repeat steps 1 and 2!
WINNING THE GAME
Players take turns as described in the game turn sequence. The side that manages to wipe out all of the opposing force wins the battle for possession of Skull Pass!
ADDITIONAL RULES
As you are now playing a full Warhammer battle, a few extra rules come into play. They are: Moving Characters, Characters in Combat, Unbreakable, Characters' Leadership, and Army Generals.
