Werewolves are shape shifting creatures who turn from man to wolf in the twinkling of an
eye. They are ferocious, powerful, swift, and deadly.
Werewolves try to make a place for themselves in the world, striving to coexist with their
neighbors. Werewolf outlooks on life vary greatly. Some werewolf packs tend toward
tolerance and peace , others are quite militant, and yet others are bent solely on the
destruction of others. This variety of pack perceptions makes inter-pack relations often
volatile. Battles between different Werewolf armies are quite common.
SPECIAL RULES
Frenzy
Werewolves are vicious and filled with blood lust. Therefore all werewolves are subject to
the rules for frenzy.
Fear
Werewolves are frightening creatures. Their transformations are unsettling to even the
most stalwart of humans. Therefore all werewolves cause fear.
Skirmish
All Werewolf units may skirmish and are subject to all the rules as described in the
Warhammer rulebook.
Hatred
Werewolves bear a deep grudge against vampires and their kin. Therefore all werewolves are
subject to the rules for hatred; however, this only applies to Undead.
Movement
Werewolves are creatures of the forest. In any wolf form they suffer no penalty for
movement through this kind of terrain.
Deploy in Human Form
All werewolves except the Caers Fenres must deploy in human form.
Transformation
Werewolves shift form quickly, but in battle some time is taken up. When werewolves shift
form, they sacrifice their movement, being too busy with their shape shifting to advance
upon the enemy.
Alphas
The Alpha is the pack leader and effectively acts as the army General. He is a fearsome
monstrous creature to behold towering over all others in the army. Alphas in their hybrid
werewolf shapes cause terror as described in the Warhammer rulebook. Remember, all
creatures who cause terror cause fear as well. There can only be one Alpha in a werewolf
army with one exception: Two alphas may be present if one is male and the other female.
This is extremely rare. If one werewolf army fights another, the Alphas of both armies are
subject to the rules for challenge.
Panic Tests for Horses
Horses have an overpowering fear of werewolves and are reluctant to approach them. When
charging or charged by werewolves, cavalry units with horses must make a Leadership test
to maintain control of their mounts or Panic and flee. This test MUST be taken regardless
of the riders immunity to Panic, Psychology, etc. as it is the horses who are affected.
Allies
Werewolves may ally with Empire, Wood Elf, Dark Elf, and Chaos Armies, and Bretonnian
Armies with no Knights.
A word about Chaos Werewolves: It is possible Werewolves may ally in various ways with Chaos Armies.
Note: Pack Leaders, Lonewolves, and Alphas, and Werewolf Mystics are considered
champions and therefore would have all of the benefits and restrictions awarded to their
equivalent Chaos Champions or Sorcerers if they are included as part of a Chaos Army.
However, any Chaos reward or gift that duplicates a Werewolf ability may NOT be
taken.
Also note Werewolves may NOT wear Chaos Armor.
FENROTH, the EVER-CHANGING
You may have Fenroth, the ever-changing god of werewolves in your army if you wish. He may
act as your army general if you choose.
Fenroth is subject to the rules for Greater Deamons as described in the Warhammer rulesbook.
Fenroth causes Terror as described in the Psychology section of the Warhammer rulebook. Note: Werewolf Alphas in opposing armies are NOT immune to the terror caused by Fenroth, but they test agaisnt him as causing Fear instead.
Fenroth's presence attracts Wraith Wolves. If you have a regiment of Wraith Wolves in your army, others may join them. At the start of the game roll a D6 and add the appropriate number of Wraith Wolves to your existing regiment at no additional points cost. If Fenroth is reduced to 0 wounds and banished during the battle, the Wraith Wolves follow him back to the Realm of Chaos. Note: as Fenroth can cast magic, an Alpha Mystic is not required for you to include a regiment of Wraith Wolves.
Fenroth�s form constantly shifts and changes, taking on the form of many creatures. At
the start of the Werewolf turn, roll a D6:
1) Fenroth assumes the form of a monstrous three-headed wolf. He gains two additional
attacks for the turn in HTH combat.
2) Fenroth assumes the form of a Wyvern. He may fly up to 24� that turn.
3) Fenroth assumes the form of a Gigantic Scorpion. Each wound caused in HTH causes D3
wounds for that turn.
4) Fenroth assumes the form of a Hydra. Each hit in HTH counts as D3 hits for that turn.
Roll to wound for each separately.
5) Fenroth assumes the form of an Emperor Black Dragon for that turn gaining the
appropriate breath weapon in addition to his regular attacks. He may also fly up to
24".
6) Fenroth assumes the form of a Chimera for the turn. The lion can roar with the same
effects as the Werewolf Ability Howl. The ram can make a special Head Butt attack as
described in the Giant Special Attacks Section in the Warhammer Battlebook. The dragon�s
head can breathe fire. See the Special Rules for Emperor red/fire dragons in the Warhammer
Battlebook. He may also fly up to 24".
Fenroth is well versed in the realms of magic and has a magic level of 4. He may draw
spells from the Werewolf or Battle Magic decks.

Infiltrators may not deploy within 18� of a werewolf with this ability.
Bounding Leap ...................10 pts
A werewolf with this ability may leap 4� in addition to its movement during the move
phase. It may make a normal move and leap, run and leap, or charge and leap, but it can
only leap once during the turn. A leap will take the werewolf over any man-high obstacle
without penalty, including enemy models, so a werewolf with this ability may choose
between between the two closest enemy units for its charge.
Note that a werewolf character leading a unit can not take this ability.
Howl...................................25 pts
A werewolf with this ability can give voice to a howl of eerie and disturbing quality at
the beginning of the Werewolf turn. All units within 24" of the werewolf must make an
immediate Panic test.
Note:
Cavalry units on horses must also make this test even if they are normally immune to
Panic, Psychology, etc. A werewolf character may howl a number of times equal to his level
per game, but only once per turn. (Example: an Alpha Lord may howl three times per game,
while a Pack Leader may howl only once. A Werewolf Seer may howl twice per game, an Alpha
Mystic four times per game.)
The following abilities may be given to Alpha Werewolves ONLY:
Sharp Claws ...........................20 pts
The Alpha's claws on the hand-like paws of its hybrid form are extremely long and sharp.
Wounds from the claw attacks cause d3 wounds.
Control Blood Lust ................5 pts
An Alpha with this ability is able to master his insatiable blood lust and is therefore
not subject to the rules for Frenzy. If the Alpha is leading a unit, that unit is also not
subject to Frenzy.
Clamping Bite .......................30 pts
When an Alpha with this ability scores a 6+ on any attacks in hand-to-hand, the victim is
held fast and must roll less than its Strength characteristic to break free. If
unsuccessful, the victim is -1 to hit, Initiative, and Strength in subsequent rounds. The
victim must check at the beginning of subsequent hand-to-hand rounds or the effects remain
in play. If wounded by the clamping bite, the victim takes an automatic wound in each
following round until able to break free or slain. While using the Clamping Bite, the
Alpha is at a -1 to his Attack characteristic..
Accelerated Transformation.............25 pts
An Alpha with this ability is a master of shape changing. This Werewolf Alpha suffers no
penalty of movement when shifting form.
Werewolf Talismans
Werewolf Talismans are made up of magical runes or fetishes. Werewolves are often seen
with a tattoo or symbol dyed or painted onto the werewolf�s body. Some are even cut into
the fur or skin itself.
Werewolves also wear necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or charms that have Talismanic power.
These Talismans benefit the entire unit a Werewolf Talisman Bearer is in.
