| 0-1 HOCHLAND JAEGARS |
Points/model: 22 |
The Hochland Jaegers are foresters who hunt game and make their living with the
Hochland longrifle. These are very accurate longrifles, capable of shooting
acurately over great distances. The Jaegers are very proficient with the use of
these rifles, hunting skills and the stealth skills needed to pass quietly through the
forest and mountains of their homeland. It is said that a Hochland Jaeger can pass
like a ghost using only the merest of shadows for cover. These men are truly great
hunters, and they are much sought after as scouts and sharpshooters. The middle
mountains and the great forest contain many monsters and mutated creatures of Chaos and
other horrors. The Hochland Jaegers are men who are able to face these horrors and
live with their sanity intact. They have hunted foul Beastmen and other creatures
that terrorize their farms, villages and towns, and they have become accustomed to
fighting these creatures and facing them sometimes alone in their hunts. It is said
that to look into the barrel of one of their rifles is to look at your own death. |

Units Size: 5-20
Weapons/Armour: Hochland Jaegers are armed with a Hochland
longrifle and hand weapon.
Options:
- Any unit may be equipped with light armour (+1 pt per model).
- Any unit may be equipped with pistols (+2 pt per model).
- Upgrade one Hochland Jaeger into a Musician for +6 pts.
- Upgrade one Hochland Jaeger into a Standard Bearer for +12 pts.
- Promote one Hochland Jaeger to a Champion for +12 pts.
- If the unit has a Standard Bearer, then the Standard Bearer may carry a magic
banner worth up to 50 points. However, the banner may only be one that gives a
protective bonus, it may not give an offensive bonus.
Special Rules
Skirmish. Hochland Jaegers may skirmish as described
in the Warhammer rulebook.
Deployment. Hocland Jaegers are allowed to deploy
anywhere out of sight of the enemy once their opponent has deployed. They may not
deploy inside the opponent's deployment zone.
Psychology. Hochland Jaegers are immune to the effects of
fear and Panic. They are affected by terror only as if it was fear. Hochland
Jaegers still take Break tests if defeated in hand to hand combat. They will only
take a Break test for missile fire if they lose 50% or more of the unit.
Sharpshooters. Hochland Jaegers may choose their target,
even if it is not the closest target, and they may target individuals even if they are
part of a unit. They do not take minuses to their BS for long range or firing at
individual figures. They may fire at individuals without taking any penalty.
The Jaegers lose the benefits of being sharpshooters during any turn in which they move,
as it takes time to carefully sight their rifles.

If you take a unit of Hochland Jaegars, then you may include a Hochland Jagermeister in
your Empire army as one of your Hero choices.

The Hochland Jaegermeisters are the greatest sharpshooters in all the Empire.
They have hunted and lived with their longrifles since boyhood, and it is said that
to take away a Jaegermeister's longrifle is to take away his right arm and his eyes, as
the longrifle is just as much a part of him as they are. A Hochland Jaegermeister is
always an individual who has lived for so long in solitude that he will never join with a
unit. |

Weapons: The Hochland Jaegermeister is armed with a Hochland
longrifle and hand weapon.
Options:
- May be equipped with a pistol (+6 pts).
- May wear light armour (+2 pts).
- May choose magic items from the Common or Empire magic item lists, with a maximum
total value of 50 pts. The Hochland Jagermeister may select Beastslayer Ammo as one

Special Rules:
Deployment. The Hochland Jaegermeister is allowed to deploy
anywhere out of sight of the enemy once their opponent has deployed. They may not
deploy inside the opponent's deployment zone.
Psychology. The Hochland Jaegermeister is immune to all
psychology and Break tests. If he is ever called upon to take one of these tests, he
is automatically assumed to pass it, so no dice are actually rolled.
Sharpshooter. The Hochland Jaegermeister may choose his
target, even if it is not the closest target, and he may target individuals even if they
are part of a unit. He does not take minuses to his BS for long range or firing at
individual figures. He may fire at individuals without taking any penalty. The
Jaegermeister loses the benefits of being a sharpshooter during any turn in which he
moves, as it takes time to carefully sight his rifle.
