Warhammer Fantasy
Fantasy Heroes

Sometimes you do not want to play a full game of Warhammer, but want a quick (2-3 hour) game to engage with.

Fantasy Heroes is an idea for a sub-game for Warhammer Fantasy based on controlling one character instead of a full army.

Rules Ideas

Choose a hero from the hero section of the army book. Then run around collecting treasure.

Experiance points for winning combats. Wandering monsters.

All models are treated as independent characters. Players must have one character from army lord or heroes list. Usually only Goblins and cheap enough to take a lord. Hero is acts as general, but can act as standard bearer as well if upgraded at the usual points cost.

Optionally one player could take control of the guards, individual core troop models to the value of 100 points. No special or rare units.

Movement, assault, psychology as Warhammer rules.

Magic

Your hero can be a wizard. If he/she is a wizard you will roll for the winds of magiv as usual in the Warhammer 8th edition rules and for he extra dice to see if you can channel. The difference is that each f the opposing players gets the usual number of dispell dice each including the option to roll for channeling for dispell dice if their chatacter normaly has this ability (because they are wizards too, or have magic items that bestow this ability).

A player that is directly affected by a spell can attempt to dispell it. If several players would be affected then thier dispell attampt just negates the effect for thier character, but not the other players character. Any character can dispell a 'stays in play' effect in the casting players magic phase.

Be aware that this means that if you cast multiple spells on multiple players then you will find that you will come against greater magical resistance.
