Editing Amazon (section)

===WAP Amazons===
The [[Warhammer Armies Project]] has 8th edition & 9th edition fanmade army books for the Amazons on [http://warhammerarmiesproject.blogspot.com its website]. Here, they are described as a technobarbarian culture descended from an early "race" of human women used as assistants and technicians by the [[Slann]] and the Old Ones. When the Old Ones vanished, they broke away from the Slann and have devolved to their own strange culture; in fact, they often fight bitterly with the Lizardmen, despite their shared heritage. Ruled over by a priesthood, the Amazons have supposedly preserved more of the ancient Old One technology than the Slann have, in part because they depend on arcane parthenogenesis to reproduce; multiple births are extremely common, and larger broods earn great social status. They also guard a life-preserving fountain of youth, which allows the most vaunted of their kind to enjoy extended lifespans.

On the tabletop, they're a melee-centric glass cannon type army; their armor saves ''suck'', but with their unique ability to ignore forested terrain they can move quite quickly, and they hit surprisingly hard, thanks to their ability to take a bunch of what are essentially knock-off [[Power Weapon]]s called the Claws of the Old Ones. Their ability to take Sun Staffs and Sun Gauntlets, knock-off lasguns and laspistols, also gives them a surprising amount of short-range firepower.

For generic characters, the WAP Amazon army can field '''Commanders''' as the generic martial hero (divided into Lord-tier Matriarchs and Hero-tier Mistresses), and provide magical support with '''Priestesses''', who have access to a unique lore called the Lore of the Serpent as well as the generic Lores of Life, Light, Beasts and Heavens.

The infantry core of the army is, of course, the '''Amazon Warriors'''. These are bolstered by elite sisterhoods; '''Piranha Warriors''', '''Eagle Warriors''' and '''Jaguar Warriors'''.

The '''Koka-Kalim''' are drug-addled frenzied berserkers.

'''Jungle Stalkers''' are master archers who smear venom on their arrows to enhance their lethality.

'''Totem Guardians''' are the most elite regiments of all the Amazon warriors.

The Amazons have a tradition of training the giant jaguars and other great cats of Lustria as loyal bond beasts; as such, an Amazon army may deploy both '''Jaguar Hunting Packs''' under the command of an Amazon beastmaster, or squads of '''Huntresses'''; master warriors riding jaguars. Other cavalry units fielded by the Amazons ride '''Culchans''' (giant predatory flightless birds), '''Terradons''', and '''Cold Ones''', and both Commanders and Priestesses may ride these three beasts as well.

The most unusual allies of the Amazon forces are the '''Gorols''', enormous and eerily intelligent gorillas, and the '''Avatar of Rigg'', a [[daemon]]-like manifestation of the Amazon mother-goddess summoned by the most powerful priestesses.

Special Characters available to this army include:
* [[Thalestris]]
* [[Lwaxana]]
* [[Azura]]
* [[Melandra Hawkeye]]
* [[Penthesilea]]
* [[Lysippe]]
