Scrollhammer: Daedra Cults
by Lolpwnt
Daedra Cults are the armies of the great Daedric Princes who rule the realms of Oblivion, and the mortal worshippers who summon demonic hordes to do their bidding. Included are the rules for fielding this army in Scrollhammer.
General Rules[edit]
Daedra:
All Daedra use the Daedric Racial Traits found in the Scrollhammer Rulebook.
Army List[edit]
Types of Lists[edit]
A Daedra Cults army may be taken using one of three lists, representing the various types of Daedric armies in existence. One Hero choice in a Daedra Cults army(or allied detachment) is nominated as that army's general. Which model is the general determines what can be taken in the list. Certain models become 0-1 depending on the makeup of the army. Special Characters which are allowed for a list can replace the required nominated general and still use the same list. Special Characters may not be used outside the list they are nominated for.
Cult armies and Daedra armies have different lists, as well as different alliance profiles. In fact, they can ally with each other! So be sure to designate which model is the general of your army, or of an allied detachment using this army book.
Cult Army[edit]
Heroes: Sorcerer-Priest w/ retinue, allowed special characters. 0-1 total of any other Hero choices.
Core: 1+ Cultist Covens, Flame Atronachs. 0-1 of each other Core choice. Knights of Order may only be taken in a cult devoted to Jyggalag.
Elite: Frost Atronachs, Storm Atronachs. 0-1 of each other Elite choice.
Support: 0-1 of each Support choice.
Special Characters: Mankar Camoran w/ retinue, Umbra, Champion of Boethiah w/ retinue
Certain Daedra are associated with a specific Daedric Prince. If the cult worships that Prince, those Daedra are do not have the regular 0-1 restriction.
Daedra Army[edit]
Heroes: Dremora Lord, allowed special characters. 0-1 total of any other Hero choices.
Core: Scamps, Dremora Warriors, Flame Atronachs, 0-1 of each other Core choice, Knights of Order (only in armies devoted to Jyggalag).
Elite: Aurorans, Daedroths, Frost Atronachs, Storm Atronachs, 0-1 of each other Elite choice.
Support: Clannfears, Hungers, Spider Daedra, Winged Twilights, Xivilai, Siege Crawler.
Special Characters: Mankar Camoran w/ retinue, Mehrunes Dagon, Umaril the Unfeathered, Jyggalag.
Sheogoric Daedra Army[edit]
Heroes: Golden Saint Pelaurig OR Dark Seducer Grakedrig, allowed special characters. 0-1 total of any other Hero choices, including Pelaurigs/Grakedrigs when the other type is the general. Cultist retinues must serve Sheogorath.
Core: Golden Saints(if Pelaurig is general) OR Dark Seducers(if Grakedrig is general), Flame Atronachs, 0-1 of each other Core choice(including Saints/Seducers if the one of the other type is the general). Cultist Covens must serve Sheogorath.
Elite: Frost Atronachs, Storm Atronachs, Flesh Atronachs, allowed special characters. 0-1 total of any other Elite choice.
Support: Clannfears, Hungers, Spider Daedra, Winged Twilights, Xivilai, Siege Crawler.
Special Characters: Sheogorath, The Gatekeeper.
Daedra Cultists[edit]
Cultists are the mortal pawns of the Daedric Princes, erecting shrines on Mundus by which to commune with them, and performing rituals by which to summon them.
All the cultists in your main army(even in a Daedra army), of all units and types, must be declared as dedicated to a single Daedric Prince in the army list. This gives them access to unique spells (including the ability to summon Daedra associated with that Prince), special rules, and access to that Prince's artifacts as described in the Artifacts of Tamriel supplement. A Daedric Prince's associated Daedra, if it has one, are not 0-1 in a Cult Army serving that Daedric Prince.
Two Cultist unit types may be formed.
Priest with Retinue (Hero): 1 Sorcerer-Priest or High Priest with retinue of 4-9 Sorcerers and Blackguards.
Coven (Core): 1 Sorcerer or Blackguard (unit leader) with 9-19 Cultists and Minions, and 0-10 Initiates.
Priest and Coven are both 0-1 unless the Priest is nominated as your general, in the case of a cult army.
All the cultists in an allied detachment using this army book, whether a Cult or Daedra army, must also be aligned to a particular Daedric Prince. This Daedric Prince may be the same as the one in the primary army, or it may be a different one, if a Cult army allies with a Daedra army. Note, however, that if the Daedric Princes served are different, the two armies will be Grudging Allies, rather than Trusted Allies. Servants of Jyggalag and Sheogorath can never ally with one another.
The Daedric Princes and their Blessings[edit]
Not all Daedric Princes are represented in this army list. The units relevant to some Princes are found in other lists. When a player decides to run any Cult units in his army, he must decide which of the Daedric Princes his army will be dedicated to:
Azura, Prince of Dusk and Dawn[edit]
Azura is among the friendlier Daedra to mortals. Appearing in the form of a beautiful woman, she embodies aesthetically pleasing and sublime ideals. She is a major figure in Dunmer religion, having guided the Nerevarine on his quest against the Sixth House.
Azura favors Winged Twilights. Her unique spell is Light of Dawn. Her artifact is Azura's Star. You may reroll three Power Dice per game for spells being cast by any of the Azura worshipers in an army serving her. You must abide by the second result, however.
Boethiah, Prince of Plots and Ambition[edit]
Boethiah is among the more evil of the Daedra, but is thought well of by the Dunmer. Appearing as either a woman or a man, but always wielding a mighty weapon and a flowing cape, Boethiah embodies the idea that Might makes Right. Treachery, rebellion, and battles to the death are indulged in by Boethiah's followers, that whoever might be able to seize power should have it.
Boethiah favors Hungers. His/Her artifact is Goldbrand. Boethiah's followers have access to the Special Character Boethiah's Champion. Boethiah's followers have +1 WS, +1 S, and +1 Ld. Any cult unit of Boethiah's, if further than 6" from the enemy and containing more than 1 model, must make an Ld check at the beginning of each of your turns. If the test fails, the models in that unit cannot move, shoot, march or charge this turn. Those models must equip wargear and spells if they have any available.
Each model in that unit attacks in close combat this Close Combat phase, scoring his blows against his own unit(each model is considered to be engaged with his entire unit, no models pile in, and no challenges can be declared; the blows are simply rolled, struck and allocated). This can never reduce a unit to less than one model; if the unit would be reduced to less than one model, discount all the wounds inflicted at that step on one model and keep it in play. If the unit is reduced to one model this way, that model's wounds are restored to their starting amount, and he is gifted with +1T +2W +1A +2Mg. He becomes an Independent Character for the remainder of the battle.
Clavicus Vile, Prince of Deals and Wishes[edit]
Clavicus Vile is a horned Daedra accompanied by his talking dog, Barbas. While appearing harmless on the outside, Clavicus Vile is heartless on the inside. Foolish mortals go to him to make pacts, asking that their wishes come true in exchange for a service rendered. Upon completing their service, they find that their reward is not necessarily what they had hoped for...
Clavicus Vile's artifact is the Bitter Cup. At the start of each game, assign each cultist Independent Character and each other unit of Clavicus Vile cultists in your army a wish counter. At an appropriate time in the game, a unit or model may expend a wish counter to make a wish(Independent Characters are considered to be making the wish for the entire unit that they are attached to). Declare which wish you are making, and roll a d6:
If the unit is falling back, it may wish for courage immediately before rolling to see how far it fall backs. On a 4+, it rallies. On a 1-3, it becomes courageous without abandon, and throws itself at the enemy, fleeing instead towards the enemy's table edge until it rallies or is destroyed.
At the beginning of your movement phase, a character in a unit may wish for a weapon or armor of incredible destruction. On a 4+, one of his weapons or his armor (your choice) becomes Daedric for the rest of the game. On a 1-3, his weapon destroys him with an incredible explosion; he is removed as a casualty.
At the beginning of your movement phase, the unit may wish to become invisible. On a 4+, your unit gains Stealth(+2), applying even in combat. On a 1-3, they become invisible, but only to one another, and in a state of sheer panic must immediately fall back(unless they are Fearless). If in combat, the enemy may attempt to make a sweeping advance if normally allowed.
At the beginning of your movement phase, the unit may wish to appear terrifying. On a 4+, the unit causes Terror for the rest of the game. On a 1-3, the unit appears in a manner so terrifying that they terrify themselves; the unit must immediately pass a morale check or flee(even out of combat, sweeping advances taken as normal). Each model must then take an Ld test on his own value, and is removed as a casualty if he fails. After this, their appearance reverts to normal: they play out the rest of the game as normal.
At the beginning of the game, before you deploy, the unit may wish for good luck. On a 4+, it gains 3 free re-rolls it can spend on any rolls of d6 for the remainder of the game. On a 1-3, it has the good luck of getting lost on the way and not having to die in the battle: it is immediately removed from the game and considered a casualty.
If the unit loses a combat, it may wish for survival. On a 4+, the unit does not flee and may immediately make a second round of attacks against the enemy, without being hit back. On a 1-3, the unit is allowed to survive as the enemy's prisoners: it is removed as a casualty.
If the unit is afflicted by a disease, it may wish for a cure. On a 4+, it is cured. On a 1-3, nothing happens: the "cure" is whatever enemy eventually kills them!
Hermaeus Mora, Prince of Forbidden Knowledge[edit]
A strange entity of inscrutable form and motives, Hermaeus Mora is the most secretive of the Daedra. All knowledge in existence is said to be within the libraries of lost tomes in his realm, hidden from the mortal world. It is utterly unknowable how much power he has attained, or what plans he has made over the aeons that men and mer have lived, breathed, fought and died.
Hermaeus Mora's artifact is the Oghma Infinium. Followers of Hermaeus Mora who can buy spells may buy an additional spell to the ones they already have. Followers of Hermaeus Mora have +1 Mg, and get +2 to their rolls when attempting to cast spells. If multiple 6's, before any modifiers, are rolled by a servant of Hermaeus Mora attempting to cast a spell, however, you must remove one model from that unit as a casualty who cast a spell this phase when this phase ends: he has lost his mind to secrets forbidden unto him.
Jyggalag, Prince of Order[edit]
Jyggalag is a crystal being of perfect order and law, and one of the lesser-known Daedric Princes. Despised by the other lords of Oblivion for his aggressive and power-hungry nature, he was cursed to live as Sheogorath, the incarnation of the thing he hated most - madness - and only permitted to return once at the end of each Era, in a savage campaign of destruction and subjugation known as the Greymarch.
Jyggalag favours Knights of Order. His mortal cultists have the Stealth special rule, and their daggers are Bound Daggers.
Their Personal Shrines cost +10 points, and are upgraded automatically to Obelisks of Order. At the beginning of each of your turns, roll a d6 for each slain mortal servant of Jyggalag that is part of a Cult unit within the Obelisk's 6" radius. On a roll of a 6, if there is available space, that model is resurrected with full Wounds and Power Dice, and redeployed as part of the unit. All models in an army dedicated to Jyggalag have Hatred(Servants of Sheogorath). This includes Sheogorath, Golden Saints and Dark Seducers of all kinds, Flesh Atronachs, the Gatekeeper, and all models in a Sheogoric Force.
An army dedicated to Jyggalag can never contain or ally with a force containing any servants of Sheogorath.
Mehrunes Dagon, Prince of Destruction and Change[edit]
Mehrunes Dagon is the mightiest of the lords of Oblivion, who desires nothing more than the conquest and destruction of the mortal world. During the Oblivion Crisis at the end of the Third Era, Dagon led his army into the Imperial City to destroy the Empire of Tamriel forever. Were it not for the sacrifice of Martin Septim, mortalkind would forever be enslaved to the most monstrous of masters.
Mehrunes Dagon favors Scamps and Xivilai. His artifact is Mehrunes Razor. His followers have access to the special character Mankar Camoran. Mortal servants of Mehrunes Dagon who can buy spells may purchase an additional Destruction spell to the spells they already have.
Mephala, the Webspinner[edit]
Appearing as a crooked-shaped hermaphrodite, Mephala spins webs of treachery and lies, murder and adultery. She is honored by the Morag Tong of Morrowind as the patron of assassins, but her influence stretches across all Tamriel.
Mephala favors Spider Daedra. His/Her artifact is the Ebony Blade. A cult army that worships her steals the initiative on a 4+ through their cunning, if they are the primary detachment of your forces.
Meridia, Prince of Light and Living Things[edit]
Little is known concerning this winged goddess. Her hatred for the undead is matched only by her secretiveness. Her reputation among mortals is favorable for her willingness to fight the hordes of the damned who wander the caverns of Tamriel, yet her servants the Aurorans cast their lot against mankind, fighting for Umaril the Unfeathered in the days of his return.
Meridia favors Aurorans. Her artifacts are the Ring of the Khajiiti and Dawnbreaker. Her mortal servants have Hatred(Undead), and re-roll failed morale tests.
Molag Bal, Prince of Domination and Enslavement[edit]
The most dreaded and most unholy of all the fiends of Oblivion is Molag Bal, the King of Rape. An utterly malignant entity, Molag Bal seeks only to enslave mortals, or to corrupt and damn them for eternity. Vampires are his spawn, and souls are his currency. Woe betide the fool who trifles with him.
Molag Bal favors Daedroths. His unique spell is Bal's Temptation. His artifact is the Mace of Molag Bal. Cultists of Molag Bal have the Frenzy universal special rule.
Namira, Prince of Ancient Darkness[edit]
The shrouded female figure of Namira is filled with horrors unimaginable. Namira is the goddess of all that is vile, repulsive, unnatural, disgusting and wretched. Namira's followers indulge in urges of the darkest sort, and revel in the hatred they draw in from those appalled at the extent of their evil.
Namira's unique spell is Namira's Touch. Her artifact is the Ring of Namira. Her cult followers have Feel No Pain, but your opponent's mortal units have Hatred against them.
Peryite, the Taskmaster[edit]
Peryite orders the lowest realms of Oblivion. He takes the form of a dragon to mock Akatosh, yet is far too weak to be worthy of such an image. Peryite obsesses over the smallest of details in everything, take the utmost precaution to all he presides over.
Peryite's unique spell is Peryite's Reordering. His artifact is Spellbreaker.
Peryite's cult worshipers are carriers of a Disease that your own units are immune to. At the end of each turn, all enemy units within 3" of a Peryite Cultist unit are infected on a d6 roll of 6+. Starting at the end of the turn after they are infected, the infection spreads from infected units on a 4+ to any other unit within 3" of them. After infections are determined at the end of turn, d3 models in each infected unit must take a toughness test. For each failure, that model takes a wound with no saves allowed.
Sanguine, Prince of Revels[edit]
Sanguine is a jolly yet perverse daedra who embodies the philosophy of hedonism. Tempting mortals with their guiltiest desires, he leads them to live lives of debauchery and excess.
Sanguine's artifact is the Sanguine Rose. Sanguine's mortal followers have -1 Ld, but his Covens may take up to 30 Initiates per unit. Initiates of Sanguine cost 2 pts per model.
Sheogorath, The Mad God[edit]
Sheogorath is insane. It is said that nobody but himself can guess his motives, but even he's wrong about them half the time. Sheogorath and his followers are utterly unpredictable, to an almost comic extent, but can be just as dangerous and evil as they are foolish. Many have sought to be granted powers from Sheogorath, only to find themselves going mad in due time.
Sheogorath favors Golden Saints and Dark Seducers, although any particular cultist army or allied detachment may only choose one to be favored for their army list. He also favors Flesh Atronachs, which can be taken as familiars by certain cult members. Sheogorath's artifacts are the Spear of Bitter Mercy, Dawnfang, and Wabbajack. His worshipers may be up to 4" apart and still be in coherency. Each unit of worshipers must take a Leadership check at the beginning of each game turn. If they fail, their sanity slips away, and they must roll a d6:
1 The cultists fall into a gibbering fit of dementia. They cannot move, shoot, march, charge, fight in close combat or activate abilities until the beginning of the next game turn.
2 The cultists enter a psychotic rage. They have Fleet of Foot, and Frenzy, and cannot cast spells, march or shoot, this game turn.
3 The cultists weep miserably over trivial matters. They have -1 Ld this game turn.
4 The cultists run wild, doing strange and random things. They gain Hit and Run and Furious Charge, but have -1 WS -1 BS, for the duration of this game turn.
5 The cultists become ecstatic over bright lights. On your player turn, randomly choose a spell capable of targeting a unit, friend or enemy, for each group of models in the unit who know the exact same set of spells. They may target friendly models this turn, even with things that can normally only target enemies; they may also target allied units, regardless of the type of alliance. The cultists automatically cast those spells on that unit(if it is a friendly unit, opponent chooses how to place templates and blast markers) during the appropriate phases this game turn, even if they are in close combat. They may not move, march or charge normally this game turn.
6 The cultists fall into a bliss of mania. They are Fearless and have Feel No Pain this game turn, but do not get any charge bonuses for the duration of their mania.
Vaermina, Prince of Dreams and Nightmares[edit]
The world one enters in his dreams is the domain of Vaermina. Every horror, every surrealistic shock, is the power of Vaermina twisting the mind of mortals. Vaermina brings torment and hopelessness down upon mortals, even the smallest ripples of her power causing copious suffering the material world.
Vaermina's unique spell is Nightmare. Her artifact is the Skull of Corruption. Vaermina's mortal servants cause Terror, but are not immune to Fear and Terror.
Sorcerer Priests[edit]

Mehrunes Dagon, Prince of Destruction[edit]
During the height of the Oblivion crisis, the lost heir Martin Septim used Mankar Camoran's own tome, the Mysterium Xarxes, to send a champion in pursuit of the treacherous sorcerer and reclaim the amulet of kings. But it was too late, for the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon himself had entered the material world. With countless Daedra in tow, he laid siege to the Imperial City. Centuries-old buildings shattered into dust while entire armies of mortals perished at the hands of the God of Entropy. It was only when Akatosh himself took form among the ruins that the mightiest of the Daedra was beaten back to the abyss from which he sprang.

If he would be removed as a casualty in any way, except by another Physical God, if the game has not yet reached turn 5, he is instead placed in Ongoing Reserves.

- Summon Mehrunes Dagon: This spell may be cast by any number of units whenever Mehrunes Dagon attempts to arrive from reserve.

Mankar Camoran, Prophet of Dagon[edit]
The Oblivion Crisis was masterminded by a single despicable traitor: Mankar Camoran. The embittered yet resolute descendant of a deposed Elven dynasty, Camoran searched deep into forbidden lore for a means to knowledge and power. Declaring the Eight and One Divines to be impostors, he taught to his disciples that the Missing God Lorkhan was the final Daedric Prince; that Nirn was the rightful domain of the powers of Oblivion. Thus he forged a pact with Mehrunes Dagon, that he and his servants would give the mortal world over to the Prince of Destruction in exchange for immortality. His cultists murdered the final Septim emperor, and seized the Amulet of Kings. With all the pieces in place, the barrier between Mundus and Oblivion was broken, and an infinite tide of Daedra flowed forth into the realm of mortals.
265 pts.

Jyggalag, Prince of Order[edit]
Jyggalag is the sane half of Sheogorath's personality. A tall, armored figure of pale grey, Jyggalag and his servants seek infinite logic of all physical forms and total control over all thoughts. Jyggalag hates above all else the insanity and creativity he spreads as Sheogorath. Such is his power and tyranny, that he is only permitted by the other Daedra to manifest at the end of every era: it is then that he leads his host forward upon the Greymarch, cleansing all the folly he had created while bearing the mantle of Sheogorath. It is only after destroying the Madhouse that he finds himself once more losing his mind, slipping back again to becoming Sheogorath and raising up all that he had destroyed. Such is truly the extent of the Mad God's lunacy.

Torments of Oblivion: Cast on a 23+ at the beginning of any phase. Select a unit within 6" of caster.

Bal's Temptation(Molag Bal cultists only): Cast on a 26+ during your movement phase. Select an enemy unit within 6" of caster. Every model in that unit other than a Dragon or Physical God must take a Leadership test on its own value.
Models that fail are removed from the game, and placed into Ongoing Reserves, first dropping any items picked up via any special rule during the duration of the game. They form a new unit in Ongoing Reserves that retains the same Formation and special rules as before. They are considered to be your units, under your control, for the remainder of the game. Every aspect of them treats them as being under your control. Models taken control of in this manner count as being removed as casualties for effects that trigger on them being removed as casualties; any models that they could summon, can be summoned again under your control.
If all models in a unit is taken under your control in this manner, it counts as destroying that unit in terms of victory conditions. Destroying them or performing certain actions in combat against them will therefore grant victory points to your opponent, and you can hold objectives with them if those units were allowed to before they entered your control.
Models that pass the Leadership test cannot be affected by this spell again until the beginning of your next turn.
