 The mind cannot begin to comprehend the spectrum of life that exists
in the Brutal Realm. If you can imagine it, it’s there somewhere; and much more.

Beastiary
This section of the book is designed to help you quickly add NPC monsters in your games of
Brutality Skirmish Wargame! They come completely customized with stats and abilities that
make each of them unique so you don’t have to bother creating them before your games!

These entries are not intended to be used in a normal Player list in Brutality Skirmish
Wargame. In most cases, they have been given an edge compared to Player-created characters.
This is because these entries are intended as NPC models who are at a natural disadvantage of
not being wholly Player controlled.

We have tried to create entries for all of the most common models you may have in your
collection from different genres and games. In addition to this, many of the NPCs in this book
have several variants to help match the models you have.

Creating Your Own NPCs

In the rare case that you may own some models that you can’t find a profile for in this book,
here is the basic design idea behind NPC creatures. You want them to be just ever so slightly
better than your normal Player models because you have your big, beautiful brain behind your
models’ actions. NPC models should be built using the normal rules for model creation, but
with the following changes.

• Choose what Class your creature should be, based off

how you think it would act.
• Decide if you want this be a serious threat or a
normal difficulty threat.
• Normal threats should be basic Class stats.
• Serious threats should be Upgraded using the
Class Upgrades.
• Give NPC creatures 3 Model Traits instead of 2 and
always allow them to stack, even if they aren’t
Upgraded.
• Choose 2 Model Abilities for the NPC creature, or
alternatively choose a Legendary Trait.
• Use the normal points for making a warband, 1 point for
Basic, 1.5 for Upgraded, 3 points for Monster, etc.

The variety and scope of horrors in the Brutal boggles the mind.

Lord Dreadmore’s Gauntlet

Lord Dreadmore’s Gauntlet is one of the rarest things in the Brutal Realm: a spectator sport.
While a few other locations have competitions and entertainment, such as Red Camp’s “Red
Camp Rush”, Lord Dreadmore’s Gauntlet is still one of kind. This arena of combat is the only
entertainment venue that is actually broadcast for viewing, in a manner of speaking.

Confidence sours to panic all too quickly in the Gauntlet.

The local Mindweavers Guild of telepathically-powered individuals are employed to

psychically project these gruesome events. Associated bars and pubs in the nearby Eastern city
of Gone Away pay premium prices so their patrons can watch the carnage. A Mindweaver is
assigned to each affiliated location, and they emit an aura of mental imagery for those around
them.

Wealthy in a multitude of ways, Lord Dreadmore heavily charges the establishments for the
broadcast. The arena participants willingly pay ridiculous amounts to take part, and select
people can pay heaps of gold to watch the combat in person. Whether he found this facility or
designed it, Lord Dreadmore’s Gauntlet is a technological marvel. The room is fully

23
customizable with floor panels that
rise and fall, and walls that move
independently in an instant. The
walls are lined with countless
nozzles, barrels, and other gadgets
that can be deployed in moments.

Usually it is Dreadmore himself that

controls the features of the arena,
whether it be spouting noxious
gasses, or dropping chains from the
ceiling at a crucial moment. Nothing
is off limits when it comes to
increasing the danger (and ratings)
of this unique show.

One might wonder why anyone

would willfully sign up for this
deadly activity. Similar to a game
show in other dimensions, the groups
that can survive the Gauntlet will be
showered in treasures. Ephrant’s
Consortium even offers loans for
participants to join in the chance to
win. Most of these people find that they A wealthy observer enjoys the

on their loan, which means being
whisked away into slavery.

“Michek made the mistake that many make. Michek thought he was the top bravery of the
land. In the first round, sour vapors shot out from the wall holes. Michek caught the
laughter so hard he barely noticed when the Ork’s Mace caved in his head. Months of
savings were gone in a moment. Michek was humiliated before his friends. But this time will
be different, because Michek is not the top dumb of the land either. Next month he will have
the coin saved up again. Next month he will enter and has a secret he has been practicing.
Michek can hold his breath for five minutes now. The laughing will not take hold.”

Flagellant Assistant for Our Lady Chapel, Gone Away

How to Play
It you’re positive that you are ready to take on this challenge, here’s how you do it.

Setup
• Create a Warband as per normal rules. (suggested 5-6 point list)
• Select 20 different models to be your NPC creatures.
• Create a 20” by 20” play area, marking the boundaries.
• Alternatively, choose an RPG mat and count every square as 2”.
• Find four pieces of 4” long wall terrain that bock line of sight.
• Take note of the four sides of the arena, for game purposes, the North side is
farthest from you, the West is on your left, East is on your right, and the South
is the board edge closest to you.
• Take note of the very center of the board, marking it if necessary.
• Deploy your entire Warband within 4” of the center of the room for the first
round. After that they will not reset, move, or perform any Actions before the
next round starts.

The agreement is for five rounds of combat, but Lord Dreadmore has viewers to dazzle. At the
end of five rounds, Lord Dreadmore will decide if your actions have been impressive. The
Gauntlet Finale page has rules to determine if you are forced to play more rounds. Your models
score 1 Victory Point for each NPC model killed, but the only win condition for this mode is
survival. In a Campaign, you will need to pay 6 Gold before attempting the Gauntlet.

Activating Each Round

• Find the page for the round you are on, roll on the Event Table and immediately
apply the effects. A round’s Event only effect that round.
• Re-scatter each of the four walls D10” x2 from the center of the board, stopping
them short of landing on a model. You determine their facing when placed.
• Roll 2D10 on your line up of 20 NPC miniatures, pull out the corresponding
model and keeping a tally of the total points of NPCs you have pulled.
• Keep randomly selecting NPC models until their point total is at least half the
point total of your remaining warband models.
• Roll on the AI table for each NPC and deploy them as instructed.
• Each Game Turn, activate models in this order: 1 NPC, 2 Player models, 1 NPC,
2 Player models, etc. Each round ends when all NPCs or all Player models are slain.
• NPC models never care for their own safety, and always aim to do as much
damage as possible to Player models.

IMPORTANT: If a Player model attempts to use a Power that their Warband has already used
this Game Turn, the model attempting the Power gains a Bleeding Token.

“Tinus and Derk were a sight to behold. They certainly weren’t the first high tech fighters to try the Gauntlet,
but they sure did make a splash that others didn’t. Have you ever heard of Trional Tortion? Well, I gotta tell
you, there wasn’t a single person in our bar that didn’t lose their dinner that night. Bar floor was just as slick
as the Gauntlet and smelled worse. Apparently, their dimension had an incredible knowledge of the fabric of
reality. Dreadmore was furious, I ain’t never seen anything like it before or since. Word has it they got a
sweetheart deal with the Oathsworn, but I can’t tell you for sure. All I know is they weren’t never allowed
back.”

 Gauntlet Finale
Your Warband is bloodied and beaten, exhausted. The arena stinks of
chemicals and sweat, the floor is slick with gore. The final buzzer sounds
and you expect the exit gates to open. Long moments pass as Lord
Dreadmore decides if its time to let you go or to continue your nightmare.
Consult the tables below and add the results.

At the end of the last round, what condition is your warband in?

• How many of your models have died?

None: You must fight 2 additional rounds.
Fewer Than Half: You must fight 1 additional round.
Half or More: No additional rounds. Ignore any results from the
Wounded question below. You are free! Head over to the Victory
Section on the next page.
• How many of your living models are at full health?
All of Them: You must fight 1 additional round.
More Than Half: You must fight 1 additional round.
Half or Less: No additional rounds.

When you begin playing your additional rounds, you may choose to roll on
any round’s Event Table. When you are finished with the additional rounds,
you are Free! Head over to the Victory Section on the next page.

“Zombies? Like the Undead? I don’t think they exist here. It don’t figure to me that the Lady would
bring them here. But I’ve seen plenty of people who fit that description. See, there’s a nasty case of
disease that comes from the Flayer Forest … or Flayer Woods. Whatever they call it. Called the
Flayer Virus but you won’t find no vial to cure it. It’s Magickal in nature. Nobody seems sure how you
get it, but it starts with your skin peeling off, then your flesh dropping off in chunks after a while. If
you see something that looks akin to an Undead, it’s probably an early stage Flayer Virus victim. They
start going mad pretty quick. Likewise, if you run across some walking skeletons I’d bet they just let
the disease run full through. No talk of curing it.”

Victory!
Against all odds, your warband made it through the Gauntlet! An incredible feat, as the vast
majority of participants are massacred well before they find victory. With the exit opening, a
rush of excited spectators filter in to congratulate you. Your unique combination of strategy,
prowess, and luck has served you well.

In the next hour your surviving members are cleaned up by servants, dressed in fine cloth,
and ushered into a large private ballroom reserved for Dreadmore’s most elite customers and
champions. Your surviving party members are treated to a rare night of care-free social
interaction with some of the most powerful individuals in the Brutal. Drinks of all kinds pour
freely and the spread of food on the tables is the largest your characters have ever seen. More
than one of the elites are intrigued by your champions and could be convinced to give aid to
your cause. This is an invaluable
opportunity to get ahead in this
world.

If you are playing a Campaign

game, your warband will enjoy
several benefits. The first is the
addition of D10+3 Gold added to
their coffers. The second is 2 free
rolls on the Item Chart in this
book. The third is the social
benefits of impressing the right
socialite.

Choose one of the people on the

next page to impress and apply the
benefit to your party as a result of
your hobnobbing. Benefits are
even applied to non-participating
models if applicable.

Resolve all of the benefits of this

before your Home Phase in your
Campaign.
Few combatants ever earn admittance
to the after-event festivities.

“55-Core was intense, for sure. I had

saved for quite some time to pay for her
services, and I was excited to start. The first day she comes in, I greet her and she says nothing.
She just walks over, grabs my wrist and snaps it backwards! I fell to the dirt, screaming. My
hand was flopping around. She looks down to me and says, ‘Lesson First: Fear not the pain,
you will do as I demand and 55-Core will carve a perfect form from your pathetic material.’ I
finished out the training, mostly out of fear of her. I didn’t become an Oathsworn or nothing.
But Pointguard for a profitable merchant isn’t a bad deal in this place at all. So yeah, I’d
recommend her.”

Mission: Mimic Den

Mimic Den- Your Warband has no idea they’re in danger.

You’ve stumbled into a lair of creatures who can appear to be any item. Your
warband(s) are in a desperate rush to loot this treasure trove of riches, but all the
while they are watched by the items around them.

Army Lists: This Mission can be played solo or with opponents. Make lists as normal.
Then use the Mimic rules and stats from earlier in this book. Build a Mimic list equal
to the points you have agreed on with your opponent as if the Mimic list is another
player. (Ex: If the Players each bring 7 point lists, build a 7 point list for the Mimics.)
The first time an unmodified 1 is rolled for activating an Objective, do not place a Mimic
as normal. This model is the Mimic King who has the following profile.
Mimic King MOVE FS DEX HP WILL ATK SAV Melee
6” 7 6 6 7 3 5 Armed
NOTES: The Mimic King gives all Mimics within 10” +1 Attack. Each time a model targets the Mimic
King for a Ranged attack, Charge, or Power, the model must pass a Willpower check, if failed they
must choose another target. The Mimic King
follows the same rule when they are revealed just
as the regular Mimics.
Activation: Players activate their models
as normal. Mimics and the Mimic King
are activated at the end of each Game
Turn. The Melee that ensues by revealing
a Mimic or King as per their rules is not
considered an activation for that Mimic.
It will still activate at the end of the
Game Turn.
Deployment Zones: As Normal.
Objectives: Follow the rules for Mimics.
Players will take turns placing Objectives
anywhere not in a deployment zone and at
least 4” from other Objectives.
Victory Conditions: The Player with the most Victory Points at the end of the game is
the winner. Kill Points and Scavenge Points are used. Players earn 1 Victory Point for
each Mimic killed and 3 Points for killing the Mimic King.

46
Model Abilities
Choose one free Model Ability for each model in your warband. Any number of models in a
warband can take the same Model Ability. These are additional Model Abilities that are not
included in the main rulebook. These are designed to give more options to players and
characters, not to be any better than the Model Abilities found in the rulebook.

Acid Blood/Fire Blood: This model immediately deals 2 Burning! Tokens to an enemy
within 1” each time it loses a Hit Point. (See Wound Chart)
Mental Strain: Each time this model uses a Power, you may declare they will Strain before
rolling. When they do, their Willpower is -1 for this Action, but the maximum target range of
the Power is +4”.
Well Equipped: This model’s Melee attacks are Armed. This ability is affected by Disarmed
as per normal rules.
Tackle: When this model rolls a Charge roll of 6+ and performs the Charge in a straight
horizontal line using the shortest possible distance, it is a Critical Charge.
Scales: This model gets +1 Save against Ranged attacks.
Spikes: Each time an enemy model rolls an unmodified 10 to Hit this model in Melee, deal
that enemy model 1 Piercing Wound Chart roll without Saves.
Tail/Tentacle Strike: This model can make 1 additional Melee attack that only deals a
Wound Chart roll, roll it separately from your other attacks. Saves are allowed as normal.
Natural Claws: This model ignores the effects of a Disarmed Wound Chart result for Melee.
Slippery: This model can choose to make enemies re-roll unmodified Wound Charts rolls of
1-8 against them but the second result must be kept.
Crush: This model may choose to perform a Crush Action in Melee instead making any
Melee attacks. Roll a D10: if the result is higher than the enemy’s Hit Point stat (not current
Hit Points), deal 1 Crushing Wound Chart roll with no Saves allowed and begin the process
over again. If a Crush roll is equal to or less than the enemy’s Hit Point stat, the entire Crush
Action is over. A model can make a maximum of 3 Crush rolls in a Crush Action. If an
unmodified roll of 10 is rolled to Crush, it deals 2 Crushing Wound Chart rolls instead of 1.

47
Legendary Traits I
Add +0.5 point to the cost of the model that bears a Legendary Trait. 0-1 Legendary
Traits allowed per warband list.

Beast Form: This model can Transform as a Free Action at the start of its activations.
When it does, replace its current model with an appropriate model and completely replace
this model’s current stats as shown below. When Transforming back to normal, revert
back to this model’s Roster Sheet stats. All effects, lost Hit Points, and Wound Chart stat
modifiers remain during Transformations. While in a Beast Form, ignore all aspects of
the normal model (Model Traits, Faction Traits, Powers, etc.) except for Hit Points.

Legendary Traits II
Add +0.5 point to the cost of the model that bears a Legendary Trait. 0-1 Legendary
Traits allowed per warband list.

Explosive: When this model loses its final Hit Point, all models within 12” and line of
sight of this model automatically take 1 Ranged hit (do not roll to hit). All models within
6” and line of sight of this model treat this automatic Ranged hit as a Critical Hit instead
of a normal hit (do not roll to hit). This model gets +2 to any Wound Chart rolls for
unsaved Damage from this ability dealt to models within 4”. Save rolls, Model Abilities,
and Cover modifiers should be applied as normal as if this model made Ranged attacks to
each of the models within range. Unsaved wounds deal 1 Damage and a Wound Chart
roll of the bearer’s choice. This model may not use this Legendary Trait more than once
per Game.

Illusion: Each time an enemy model targets this model for a Ranged attack, Charge, or
Power, they must pass a Willpower check. If failed, they must choose another target.
