HEROES

Warhammer: The Forces of Darkness
Contact The Old Sage

Heroes make great leaders for regiments, as well as army leaders.

The total number of characters you can field in your army can be found in the "Armies of the Forces of Darkness" section.

*BATTLE STANDARD BEARER
One Captain (Orc or Goblin) in the army may carry the Battle Standard for +25 pts.  That particular Captain counts as a Heroes choice.

The Battle Standard Bearer cannot be the army's General even if he has the highest Leadership value in the army.

The Battle Standard Bearer cannot choose any non-magical equipment except for light or heavy armour.

The Battle Standard Bearer may have any magic banner (no points limit), but if he carries a magic banner he cannot carry any other magic item.
