Scrollhammer: Holds of Skyrim

General Rules

Hale and Hardy:

The Men of the North value martial prowess and bravery in battle. Born into a frozen and dangerous realm, many Sons of Skyrim have fought since a young age, and long for a glorious death. Pain and fear are trivial. All Nord models in armies created using this list have the Stubborn universal special rule, and have increases to their base Strength and Toughness included in their profiles.

Bards:

To speak a wondrous tale, to breathe the past deeds of ancient heroes, is among the finest arts of the Nords. The Bard's College in the city of Solitude educates young Nords in music, song and history. Those who learn well earn an honored place in their Hold, and in times of war are able to provide inspiration to those who fight alongside them. Bards count as being Musicians, but in addition to this may choose a Song from the Bard list. Once per game, at the beginning of your turn, a Bard may invoke his Song, granting his unit a special rule until the beginning of your next turn.

Mighty Deeds

The heroes of Skyrim and their sagas are without number. Countless seasoned warriors aspire to attain such glory. To represent the feats of battle that a Nordic warrior performs, and the legend which he hopes to forge, many a variety of characters and units in the Holds of Skyrim army have a bonus special ability of your choice, in addition to their other, fixed abilities. An Independent Character only gets bonuses from his own Mighty Deeds, not those of the unit he is attached to. Mighty Deeds are taken as part of your army list like any other upgrades.

The following lists contain the Mighty Deeds available to a single character as well as those available to a unit, where called for by their entry in the army list. The Bards list contains a list of Songs that a Bard can invoke, to grant his unit an additional special rule until the beginning of your next turn.

Heroes

Bear of a Man: This warrior possesses incredible strength. His Strength is increased by 1.

Feller of Giants: Sagas are already being written and sung concerning the countless towering monsters that this man has slain. This model has the Monster Hunter special rule, and his melee attacks have Heroic Killing Blow.

Free of Cowardice: Some men fight until they know all hope is lost. Others fight on, despite impossible odds. This character is Fearless, and his unit may re-roll failed saves against No Retreat wounds.

Never Back Down: Blows that would cripple a lesser man are shrugged off as scratches by those marked for great things. A character with this Mighty Deed has the Feel No Pain universal special rule.

No Arrow Could Touch Him: Countless heroes have fallen to the bows of ordinary men. But many, at the height of their glory, charge on, great figures on both sides dying around them, and do not pause until their blades reach the throats of their foes. A character with this Mighty Deed may re-roll failed armor and cover saves against all attacks outside of close combat.

Skilled Hunter: The pursuit of wild game to feast upon is a timeless interest of almost all Nords. Such practice often comes to aid them in battle. A warrior with this ability may re-roll failed wounds against creatures with Bestial Instinct, and instead of shooting normally during the shooting phase, he make a special ranged attack, shooting a ranged weapon(but not a spell or shout) at Move or Fire 1. This shot has the Heroic Killing Blow special rule.

Son of the Sky: This warrior's attacks fall upon his foes like a torrent of hail and thunder. He gets +1 on all his rolls to hit(a roll of 1 still always fails).

Sovngarde Awaits: The wind that flows within some men cannot be expelled with ease. When at long last they fall, it is a momentous occasion. If a character with this Mighty Deed is slain in close combat, he immediately makes additional attacks equal to his normal number with whatever weapons he has equipped. These attacks are resolved after all other attacks are resolved in the combat.

Strong Will and Stout Heart: A Nord bearing an honest, indomitable spirit can endure, bent but not broken, against whatever lies are thrown at him by his enemies to control him. His Leadership is increased to 10, his unit is immune to Fear and Terror, and he may re-roll all Leadership checks except for Shout tests and tests taken for his entire unit.

Unstoppable Fury: This warrior is always first into battle, far ahead of his men, hewing his foes to pieces no matter the odds. He has the Frenzy special rule, and gets an additional +1 attack to his charge bonus.

Warriors

Battle Rage: This band of warriors are known for exceptional ferocity in battle. They have the Furious Charge universal special rule, and their close combat attacks strike with +1 AP for each point of Strength they have over 4(not counting bonuses from wargear).

Cleaving Blows: A weapon deemed too cumbersome for use by an elf can be wielded as easily as a dagger in the hands of a seasoned Nord warrior. A unit with this Mighty Deed do not treat Great Weapons as Unwieldy or Very Unwieldy. In addition, their attacks with Greatswords and Battle Axes are Rending.

Fight All Our Lives: The bravery of the men of the North is legendary. To live in Skyrim's harsh land is to endure endless hardship. It is those who do not fear death who are remembered. A unit with this Mighty Deed that is falling back may automatically regroup at the beginning of your turn when it would be allowed to do so normally. Any Independent Character with this ability may choose to not flee with the unit they attached to, and may rally on their own regardless of whether or not their unit can or does. If the Independent Character does not have this ability, he must continue to flee even if the unit rallies. Any unit or model that rallies in this manner gains the Counter-Attack universal special rule until the beginning of your next turn.

North Wind: The passion of a Nord in battle is exceeded only by that of a madman. A unit with this ability have the Counter-Attack universal special rule, and gets an additional +1 attack to their charge bonus.

Out of the Mists: Legends tell of hordes of men, beards white as snow, coming forth from the cloudy mountains and descending upon their foes. The rocky cliffs and bluffs of Skyrim are known at heart by their inhabitants. Woe betide those who would invade the homeland of Man. A unit with this Mighty Deed have the Move Through Cover special rule, the Stealth(+1) special rule, and treat difficult terrain as open ground while charging(roll for dangerous terrain as normal).

Resilience: Some soldiers of the Holds of Skyrim are blessed or conditioned to have great endurance. A unit with this Mighty Deed is not Encumbered by their armor(see the Scrollhammer rulebook).

Shield-Brothers: A Nord's companions in battle are as siblings to him, his closest friends with whom he feasts all winter, and fights alongside when the spring comes and the snow thaws in the lowlands, protecting them with his life while at the same time fighting for his own glory. A unit with this ability gain an additional +1 to their armor save in close combat while at least 50% of their models carry shields, and get +1 to combat resolution while at 90% or more of their original number(neither of these bonuses are cumulative for multiple friendly units in a single combat).

Sudden and Deadly: The wilds of Skyrim are rife with places for ambushes. A unit with this Mighty Deed may be Infiltrated. Any Independent Characters attached to it while being Infiltrated must also have Sudden and Deadly as a Mighty Deed, and may only use this Mighty Deed to Infiltrate with a unit that has this Mighty Deed.

Bards

Note: Multiples of the same song activated in the same turn do not stack on one unit.

Song of the Hero's Charge: The bard sings of a glorious battle, inspiring those near him. All models in the Bard's unit get +1 WS until the beginning of your next turn after this Song is invoked.

Song of the Hero's Stand: The bard reminds those by his side of how an ancient hero held out against all odds. All models in the Bard's unit cannot have their armor save reduced to worse than 6+ until the beginning of your next turn after this Song is invoked.

Song of the Hero's Fall: The bard tells the warriors of an honored hero who fell bravely in battle and passed on to Sovngarde, urging them to gladly make sacrifices if they must. His unit is Fearless until the beginning of your next turn after this Song is invoked.

Marching Song: The Bard's song keeps time to aid the movement of his men across the battlefield. His unit may march an additional 3" this turn, as long as they march through open terrain. If they do this, they may not begin or end their march within 9" of an enemy unit.

Sword Song: The bard recounts the tale of the forging of a blade of fantastic powers, and that weapon's name enters the battle-cry of the warriors around him. All the Bard's unit's non-spell weapons gain +1 AP until the beginning of your next turn after this Song is invoked.

The Dragonborn Comes: The Bard sings a battle-song famed across all of Skyrim. His unit may re-roll failed Morale checks and Shout tests until the beginning of your next turn after this Song is invoked.

In a span of mere seconds, their bodies undergo a terrible transformation, from men into great savage wolves. While in this form, they use the Wolf Form profile rather than their own, and bear no wargear. \

Replace each model in Wolf Form with a more appropriate model if you wish; note that models in Wolf Form are mounted on 40mm x 40mm bases. At the end of each of your turns, if a model in Wolf Form has not slain a model, return that model to his normal profile, with all his previous wargear and abilities.

Hircine's Blessing: This model is Ethereal, but the Ward Save granted against mundane attacks is only 6+.

Controlled Savagery: To enter the shape of a wolf is to endanger one's sanity, to subject oneself to the rage of a mindless killer. As each model that enters Wolf Form, that model must take a Leadership test on its own value. If that model fails, it gains Frenzied and Bestial Instinct, and if any of its attacks miss in close combat, you must instead allocate them to a non-Werewolf model in the same unit as the model that failed the Leadership check. These rules apply for as long as the model remains in Wolf Form. It cannot be shaken from its Frenzied state by any means other than leaving Wolf Form. If the Leadership check is passed, however, the model instead may continue to use its Mighty Deeds and Battle Prowess while in Wolf Form.
