 Army Wide Rules
Hewn out of Mountains
The Casting Values of all spells cast by enemy models are increased by +1 as long as at least one friendly model from
a Dwarven Holds army is on the Battlefield.

Ancient Grudge
Dwarven Holds armies have a number of Ancient Grudges which confer a bonus when attacking specific enemies.
The total number of Grudges held by a Dwarven Holds army is calculated in the following manner:
● One Grudge​ for a General with Ancestral Memory.
● One Grudge​ for each King in the army.
● Two Grudges ​for each War Throne in the army.

Right before the battle (during step 7 of the Deployment Phase Sequence), you must choose a single unit from the
opponent's Army List for each Grudge in your army (this may also be a Character). The models of this unit are
considered 'marked'. All models in the Dwarven Holds army gain Hatred against marked models, and against models
joined to units with more than half of their models marked.

Army Model Rules

Universal Rules
Holdstone
One use only. May be activated at the start of any Round of Combat. ​The e​ffects last until the unit is no longer
Engaged in Combat. Apply the following effects:
● Enemy units cannot claim Combat Score bonuses for ​fighting ​the Flank or the Rear of the unit.
● The unit cannot be Disrupted.
● Shield Wall, Wall of Iron, and Parry can be used in any Facing.
● For the purpose of Supporting Attacks, all Facings are considered to be the Front Facing (i.e. a model can
perform Supporting Attacks also to the Flanks and Rear).
● The unit cannot Pursue (nor Overrun).

Rune of Resonance
Bound Spell, Power Level (5/8). ​Range 12", Type Augment, Duration Permanent.
Once per Magic Phase, a single unit with at least one model affected by the Rune of Resonance may be chosen as an
additional target of a Battle Rune that a friendly model is casting anywhere on the Battlefield (during step 1 of the
Casting Attempt), with the following restrictions:
● A unit cannot be chosen if it is already a target of the Battle Rune.
● All instances of ​the ​Rune of Resonance on a unit immediately end when a Battle Rune is successfully cast on
the unit.
● Characters that leave a Combined Unit are no longer affected by the Rune of Resonance.

Ancestral Memory
A General with Ancestral Memory affects the number of Grudges held by a Dwarven Holds army (see Ancient
Grudge).

The bigger they are…

When Charging a unit that contains at least one Large or Gigantic model, the model gains Swiftstride for the Charge
Range roll.

Model Rules 2 ​Ch​ ​Co​ ​S​ ​CT ​EoW

Personal Protections
Shield Wall
When using a Shield, the model gains Aegis (6+, against Close Combat Attacks). This is improved to Aegis (5+, against
Close Combat Attacks) if the attacker is Charging. This rule can only be used against attacks from enemies Engaged in
the model's unit’s Front Facing.

Attack Attributes
Sturdy​: ​Close Combat.
The model gains ​Devastating Charge (+1 Str, +1 AP) and does not suffer from negative to-hit modifiers from a
Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction.

In order to use this Attack Attribute, the unit must be at least as wide as it is deep at the start of the Round of Combat.
Close Combat Attacks made by models with this Attack Attribute can ​never ​wound on worse than 4+. In addition,
when a model with this Attack Attribute is removed as a casualty during the Melee Phase due to a Melee Attack, it
must immediately, before removal, perform a single Close Combat Attack ​with the following rules and restrictions:
● The attack is ​always ​resolved with Strength 5 and Armour Penetration 2.
● The owner must choose one of the following options:
(1) The attack is allocated towards the model that caused the casualty.
(2) The attack is allocated towards a R&F model in that model’s unit. The hit is distributed onto the
unit.
In either case, the model with Yer comin’ with me! is considered in base contact with the attacked model,
and the models count as Engaged in the same Facing as their units.
● This Attack Attribute cannot be used against casualties caused by Impact Hits.

Range 24”, Shots 1, Str 4, AP 2, Unwieldy, Accurate.
