Rivadis Empire Special Rules:
Undead:
The Undead are creatures that are physically dead
and yet behave as if alive. Animated by perverted
Necromancers, these dread beings of rotten flesh
and bleached bones strike fear into the heart of
enemies wherever they tread.
Units with Undead special rule have Fearless, Fear
and Slow and Purposeful special rules.
Furthermore, Undead units suffer one extra
Wound for every Wound by which they lose the
combat, with no save of any kind allowed.
The Loci:
The legions of Rivadis Empire are animated and
driven forward by the magic of their Loci. Without
the magical animus these Necromancers provide,
the undead tide will slowly crumble to dust.
At the end of any turn in which there is no friendly
Psyker on the table who know psychic power from
the Necromancy discipline, all friendly Undead
units on the battlefield must take a Leadership
check. If the test is failed, the unit immediately
suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount
by which it failed the Leadership test, with no
saves of any kind allowed. These wounds must be
allocated evenly between models in the unit. (ie.
No model can be allocate the second wound until
all models in the unit have one wound allocated to
them, and so on). These wounds cannot be
allocated to Independent Character who has
joined the unit.
If, at the start of any of your following turns, there
is one or more friendly Psykers on the table who
know psychic power from the Necromancy
discipline, no unit in the army needs to take this
Leadership test - the Psyker's powers are sufficient
to sustain the Undead for now.
Vampiric:
The Vampires are powerful Undead who thrive
upon the ethereal power of the Warp. Each a
powerful psyker, their powers are enough to
sustain themselves independently of the animating
will of a Locus.
Vampiric models are Undead, with the following
exceptions: They never suffer Wounds because of
a destroyed Locus, and they have Feel no Pain
special rule instead of Slow and Purposeful.

Resurrecting Fallen Warriors:
Some psychic powers, special rules and
equipments can resurrect fallen warriors in an
Undead unit by restoring a number of
Wounds' worth of models to the unit. If the
target consists of a single model, such as a
lone character, then it can never exceed its
starting Wounds value. If the target is a unit of
more than one model, then Wounds regained
in this way follow a strict order. First, the unit
character is resurrected - if there was one -
and then any remaining Wounds resurrect
other models. In the case of multiple Wound
models, all models in the unit must be fully
healed before another can be resurrected.
Raised models cannot be placed in impassable
terrain or within 1” of enemy models ; if you
cannot place some of the models for whatever
reason, the excess is destroyed. Resurrected
models retain the same wargears they had
been carrying before being destroyed. If the
resurrected model’s unit is locked in combat,
the resurrected model immediately makes a
Pile In move.
A unit cannot usually be taken beyond its
starting size, though certain psychic powers
and special rules may provide exceptions.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, psychic
powers and equipments that restore lost
Wounds cannot heal Independent Character.
If an Independent Character has joined a unit,
only the unit will recover lost Wounds. If a
unit contains both Undead (this include
Vampiric models) and non-Undead models,
then only Undead models will recover lost
Wounds.

HQ:
Dread Lord 125 points
The Dread Lords are what remain of the nobles loyal to Empress Porcia. While they appear to be normal
humans, they are actually savage monsters hidden behind a veil of aristocratic nobility. The Lords are not alive
in any ways, yet they retain all their intelligence, and worse of all, their ambition and desire, twisted by
centuries of cursed existence. Each of the Dread Lords is as strong as dozen men, and those dare to meet one in
combat will quickly regret it as the monster brings its unholy strength and supernatural powers to bear.

Necromancer 75 points
The architects of the Empire’s descent into madness, necromancers are amongst the most powerful, but also
most damned, for they have left their humanity behind in their quest for immortality. Despite their otherworldly
ability to raise the dead from their graves to do their biddings, the life of a necromancer is dangerous. Delving
into forbidden knowledge has its own peril, and many have found it to the cost of their sanity, or worse, their
miserable existence. Forever standing on the threshold between life and death, a necromancer slowly becomes
detached from his mortal roots, as his mind and bodies are warped by his own unholy power and the horrors he
has witnessed. Though he never know it, he will finally end up becoming the thing that he seeks to control and
enslave: a mindless Undead.

Skeleton Warriors 40 points

The rank-and-file soldiers of Rivadis Empire, Skeleton Warriors are the sorrowful reminders of the horror that
befell the Empire. Some are what remain of long-dead fighters, others are the corpses of the newly-deceased,
stripped off flesh in their reviving rituals. The blasphemous necromancy practiced the Empire’s coven of
sorcerers instils a semblance of life into these warriors and draws part of their souls back from the Warp.
However, all that they can recall are the ways of war that were drilled into them in life and the compulsion to
obey and fight for their masters. Possess no flesh to cut or organs to pierce, only a mortal who can overcome his
fear may land a blow that can disrupt the magic binding the bones of these warriors together, returning them to
the eternal rest for which they yearn.

Bat Swarms 45 points
When the Undeads of Rivadis go to war, they summon vast amount of bats to blot out the light, drowning the
battlefield in darkness and demoralizing their living foes. They then descend upon the enemies, stripping flesh
off bones in seconds.

Cannibals 60 points
Pestilence and famine are common in the Empire, and during these times, the depraved and the desperate take
to eating human flesh to stay alive. During the golden ages, these evil-hearted individuals are hunted down,
driven underground by their persecutors. These cannibals and their mutant offspring hide in catacombs and
mausoleums, devouring the corpses of the rich and poor alike. Slowly they are driven mad by their loathsome
practice and become little than voracious man-eaters. The Necromancers use their dark magic to draw
cannibals toward them, using these insane creatures as expendable shock troops. They forgo complex weapons
all together, for their claws and teeth are encrusted grave-filth and decaying meat; those that take even the
lightest scratch from their talons or teeth can die from unnaturally potent infections that spread through the
victim's body.

Corpse Wagon 30 points
Called “Corpse Wagons” by the enemy of the Empire, these old trucks provide quick transportation across the
battlefield for the elite infantry of Rivadis. Despite their shambled look, the Corpse Wagons are a force to be
reckoned with, because of the deadly, and often outlandish weapons they carry into battle. However, one must
ask, how these old, cobbled together vehicles can still function even without their engines and other vital
components.

The unholy power that binds these tireless warriors are so strong that they can endure wounds that can slay a

their creations. Enemies foolish enough to underestimate them will be drown in their own blood as pitiless

Vampire Assassins 90 points
Vampire assassins are silent killers, arsonists, saboteurs and spies rolled into one. They are used to soften up
enemy armies before the battle begins. The skills and training of an Assassin go beyond any mortal warrior.
They are masters of armed and unarmed combat, concealment and disguise, and psychology and science. Their
battle garb varies, but is inevitably dark-grey, deep green, midnight blue or black. Their blades are often
lacquered black so as not to glint in the darkness as they approach their foes, and their armour is glossy black or
dun. When they appear on the field of battle, they attack where the enemy is weakest, without warning,
overcoming positions with bitter speed and ruthlessness. They have a nasty habit of hidden within a mob of
innocent refugees, much to their prey’s dismay , for when the time are right, they cast off their disguise and cut
those unsuspecting around them to shred.

Black Reliquary 200 points
Whenever a Vampiric nobles fall in battle, his followers can gather his physical remnants and place it within an
Reliquary. The crippled form of the Vampire feeds upon the energy of death, which is brought to him by daily
human sacrifies. The Wraiths responsible for protecting the Reliquary bring it to the place of slaughter, where
their master can hasten his return by drinking the dying breath of the dying. In battle, the Reliquary soaks in the
baleful force around them, cursing the foes and blessing allies with the Vampire’s instinctive magic, until its
occupant is restored to their former glory.

Vargoyles 45 points
Vargoyles are winged statues carved in the likeness of Vampires, awakened by the baleful powers of the
Necromancers to bolster their undying legions. Some of the arrogant desire to dominate and destroy of their
masters must have somehow transfer into their progenitors, as Vargoyles revel in nothing but slaughter and
mayhem. These animated constructs fly in large horde, soaring through the skies and falling upon near-
defenceless prey, slashing, rending and gorging on their bodies in an orgy of bloody violence. In times of great
need, the Vargoyles can (re)harden their skins, making themselves near impervious to small-arms fire at the
cost of becoming almost defenceless.

Death Knights 100 points
Death Knights are the gruesome remains of ancient nobles, summoned forth from their tombs to serve their
new masters. Necromantic energy swirls around the summoner, saturating the armoured corpses before him
with unholy vitality. With a sudden motion, the Death Knight and his mount jerk to unlife; hands clasping
around heavy sword older than the Empire itself and hooves pounding on the cold hard floor of their barrow, all
in a mockery of their former lives. In battle, these unliving riders crash into the ranks of their living enemies,
spitting their foes on their instruments of destruction, which while corrupted by ages, are still no less potent and
dangerous than when their users were men of flesh and blood. Those die instantly are the lucky ones; those
survive, however, age at an incredible rate, bones crumbling and skins shrivelling as dark magic ravages their
bodies.

These horrible creatures rule the sky of Rivadis, hunting unsuspecting preys and draining them of blood. They

as a conduit for necromantic energy, and they are able to reknit themselves with the raw stuff of necromancy
should they suffer injury. A Horrorgheist is borne aloft by great tattered wings, its body covered with thick,
withered hide, faintly reminiscent of the Dragons of legend. In battle, even the greatest heroes quail before

of crudely constructed mechanical bits, such as wheels, cogs and iron valves pumping corpse fluid in a mockeries
of biological processes, all to ensure they work at optimal efficiency. In battle, these monsters act as living siege
engines, unleashing barrages of caustic sludge and hellish flame that devour metal and flesh alike. There is
nothing more revolting and unnatural than the sights of an Abyssal Abomination, and the armies of the living
are wise to fear it.
