Special Rules:
The crew rides in an ornate howdah decorated in the colours of their Lord. The crew is armed with missile weapons and long handled halberds. The mahut carries only hand weapons, a big spike, and a maul.
Tough Hide. Elephants have a very thick, tough hide that gives them an armour save of 5+ that can never be modified to worse than 6+.
Elephant Rampage. Elephants may rampage if they are wounded. The mahut must immediately make a Ld roll, and then make a d6 roll if the Ld roll is failed, and on a 6 the Elephant will rampage 2d6" in a random direction. Roll the scatter dice for the direction, and 2d6 for the distance. The Elephant will trample any troops that it contacts. If the elephant makes contact with friendly troops, roll combat results for the Elephant alone, and have your opponent make the dice rolls. If the Elephant makes contact with an enemy unit, the crew may also fight. This will be worked out immediately as soon as the Elephant has taken any wound.
After an Elephant rampages, the mahut may take an additional Ld test, and if he passes this test, he will drive a spike through the Elephant's brain, and the Elephant will stop in its tracks, falling to the ground dead.
Death of an Elephant. If an Elephant is killed, the mahut and crew will form an infantry unit, and will be subject to all normal rules for unit cohesion, leadership, etc.. The mahut and crew will be subject to the rules for hatred toward the character and/or unit that caused the death of the Elephant.
Ballista. If a Ballista is mounted in the howdah, it may only fire across the front 90 degree arc, and it will use the BS of the crew. It will not have its own separate crew, it will be fired by the normal crew of the howdah. It will be a small ballista with a range of only 36", which a starting Strength of 5 deducting -1 from the Strength for each rank penetrated, just as for any bolt thrower. All wounds and damage will follow the normal rules for bolt throwers.
Charge Bonus. The crew and the Elephant will get normal charge bonuses.
Shooting at the Elephant and Crew. Any shots at the Elephant and crew will be randomised as follows:
| D6 | Hit Location |
| 1-2 | Howdah |
| 3-5 | Elephant |

Hand to Hand Combat. Hand to Hand combat against the Elephant and crew is also randomised, but as there is a better chance to hit the crew in hand to hand, it is randomised on the following chart:

| 1 | Howdah |

| 5-6 | Crew |
No Crew Left. If all the crew are slain, refer to the Monster Reaction Table in the Warhammer Rulebook to see what the Elephant does.
Causes Fear. Elephants cause fear as per the rules for psychology in the Warhammer Rulebook.
They also cause terror in all horses, including those ridden by troops that are normally immune to psychology, so all mounted troops on horses are subject to the rules for terror as per the rules for psychology in the Warhammer Rulebook. This does not effect the mounts of troops in the army which contains the Elephants, as they are accustomed to them. They also only cause fear in mounted troops of opposing armies that contain Elephants.
