The Araby Bestiary


The Men of Araby

The men of Araby are much the same as the men of the Old World states, such as the Empire and Bretonnia, but the little differences between them have led to years of war between the two races.
Whilst the men of the Empire have pale skins and blondish hair the men of Araby have olive coloured skins and thick black hair. They often cultivate small pointed beards and tend to have brown eyes. Their clothes tend to be made of silks and other light, hard wearing cloths, mainly because it is to hot to wear anything else!!
The modes of warfare in Araby also tend to be different from those of their northern breathren. Whilst the armies of the Empire tend to rely on there heavily armoured blocks of mounted knights to destroy their foes, the armies of Araby rely on lighter armour and hope that their extra speed and manouvrbility compensates.

SPECIAL RULES
RELIGIOUS HATRED
The men of Araby have a long history of religious warfare with the men of the north. Therefore Arabs Hate human troops from the Empire and Bretonnia

The Desert Raiders

The Desert Raiders are some of the best horsemen that the world has ever seen. They are trained to ride almost before they can walk and to fight from the saddle before they can talk. They are usually deployed in front of the main Araby battle line with the mission of disrupting and harrying the enemy advance as much as possible.

SKIRMISH
The Desert Raiders may skirmish if you wish - see the rules for skirmishing in the Warhammer rulebook.

EXPERT RIDERS
Desert Raiders do not suffer the -1 to hit modifier to their shooting if they moved in the same turn.

FIRE AND FLEE
Desert Raiders can choose 'fire and flee' as a charge reaction. See Warhammer Armies, The Dark Elves for a description of how this works

The Arab Steed


Arab Steeds are things of beauty and grace. Whilst they lack the size and weight of the Empires Warhorse they more than make up for it with their speed and agility. Arab Steeds are normally white or palamino in colour.

The Camel


Camels are strange creatures that have adapted to life in the desert with great skill. They are often ridden into battle by the forces of Araby

Camel 6 3 0 3 3 1 3 1 5

SPECIAL RULES
FEAR
Camels are strange creatures of the desert. They cause Fear in Non Arabic Cavalry

The Franks

During the crusades many of the northen knights that had come to fight in the wars established holdings and families in Araby and after the crusades were over they declined to return to the north and stayed in their new homeland. The decendents of thes knights became the Franks. They are very proud of their Northern culture and still try to retain all of their old Northen ways, including the way they fight.

Frank 4 4 3 4 3 1 4 1 7
Warhorse 8 3 0 3 3 1 3 1 5

SPECIAL RULES
LOYALTY
Due to the fact that the Franks still revere the North they cannot be fielded in armies that are fighting against the Empire or Bretonnia.

Hareem Guard

In Araby the richer a man is the more wives he is entitled to and as the Shah is the richest man in all Araby he has the most wives. These wives are reputed to be the most beautiful women in the whole of Araby and are protected by the greatest fighters - The Hareem Guard.

SPECIAL RULES
RELIGIOUS HATRED
The Hareem Guard are Arabs and therefore Hate human troops from the Empire and Bretonnia

Dervishes

All Arabs are very religious but the dervishes are the most devout. They believe that there is only one true god and that the gods of the empire are just make believe - indeed it was this belief that led to the crusades. Their religious beliefs combined with their undoubted skill in battle make them a terrible opponent indeed.

SPECIAL RULES
RELIGIOUS HATRED
Dervishes are Arabs and therefore Hate human troops from the Empire and Bretonnia

RELIGIOUS FERVOR
Dervishes are capable of working themselves up into an almost transdental state before a battle. This means that Dervishes are subject to Frenzy

THE FRANKS
Dervishes feel that the precence of the Franks in Araby is contaminating the Arab culture. They are therefore subject to Animosity against the Franks.

Mujahadin

During the crusades one of the tactics that the empire used was to destroy the numerous small villages that supplied the main Arab battleforce. However the didn't realise that this gave rise to one of their greatest downfalls, the Mujahadin. With their homes destroyed the Arab Villagers had to retreat into the desert but they attacked the Empire troops at every oppertunity using gurrilla tactics of attacking from ambush. The last thing that many a young empire knight heard was the whiplick crack of a Mujahadin musket before he fell from his horse, shot through the heart.

SKIRMISH
Mujahadin can skirmish if you wish - see page 90 of the Warhammer rulebook for rules on skirmishing. However the Mujahadin are so independant that the can be set up up to 4" apart rather than the normal 2"

SPECIAL DEPLOYMENT
Mujahadin are set up after the enemy has placed all his units on the table. The Mujahadin can be positioned anywhere on the table which is outside the enemy's deployment zone and which places them out of sight of any enemy models at the start of the game.

Animal Charmers

The deserts of Araby are full of posion insects and snakes all waiting to bite or sting the unwary traveller. However some Arabs have strange powers over these beasts and are able to make them do their bidding. These are the animal charmers. They are able to summon the creatures out of desert and get them to fight on their behalf. It is a rare sight to see an Araby Army take to the field without being accompanied by the sound of hissing snakes and the clacking of scorpian claws.

SPECIAL RULES
RELIGIOUS HATRED

SWARMS
Each animal charmer can control up to 3 swarms of either snakes or scorpians. These swarms are paid for out of the rank and file points allowance but only cost the charmer 50 points per swarm instead of the normal 100 points. If the charmer is killed roll a dice. On a roll of 3+ the swarm stays and fights normally, else they disappear into the desert, never to be seen again.

SHOOTING
The mysterious powers of the Animal Charmer means that any wounds inflicted by shooting are removed from the swarms first. This means that the Animal Charmer can only be killed by missile fire when all of his swarms have been destroyed.

PSYCOLOGY
Like the creatures that he controls the Animal Charmer is immune to psycology and cannot be broken in hand to hand combat.

Genies

The deserts of Araby are home to a race of magical beings known as Genies. No-one is sure of their origins, some say they are the spawn of chaos whilst others say that they are the results of an evil experiment of Nagash's that went horribly wrong. However wherever they came from they are potent adverseries and amongst the deadliest of foes.

Genies come in many sizes and forms but the two most powerful are the Djinn and the Efreet.

Arabian Magic Items


The following are some magic items specifically designed for use with an Araby Army

Magic Carpet..............50 points - ARABY ONLY WIZARDS ONLY

This is the most famous of all the Arabian Magic Items. It enables the wizard to fly as if he was mounted on a flying steed. The carpet can move at up to 24" a round, fly high, and if the wizard is forced to flee, he will flee 3D6"

The Sword of Saladin..............100 points - ARABY ONLY

During the Crusades one Araby General enjoyed victory after victory against the invaders. This generals name was Saladin and he was supposed to be one of the greatest swordsmen to ever live. Much of this reputation came about due to the magical sword that he fought with.
The Sword of Saladin enables the user to always strike first in combat regardless of who charges or relative initiative levels. The sword is magically sharp and means that no saves are allowed against the blade even for magical armour. Finally any wounds inflicted by the blade are doubled ie it does two wounds instead of one

The Lamp of Al-ha-dean..............100 points - ARABY ONLY THREE USES ONLY

The lamp of Al-ha-dean contains a powerful genie that can be summoned to protect the lamps bearer from harm. If a character bearing the lamp is attacked in hand to hand combat roll a D6. On a roll of a 1 the character fails to rub the lamp in time and he must fight the combat as usual. On a roll of 2+ the character summons the genie to protect him. Anybody in base to base contact with the character must now fight the genie instead. The genie has the following stats

Profile M WSBSS T W I A Ld
Genie 4 5 0 5 5 2 5 2 10

Wounds inflicted on the genie and by the genie count towards combat resolution in the normal way. If the genie is reduced to 0 wounds then he is dispeled and must be resummoned in the next combat phase as described above. If the genie is not killed then he continues to fight as normal. After the genie of the lamp has been summoned 3 times the power of the lamp is exhausted. Discard this magic item.

The Veil of Distraction.......................50 points ARABY ONLY
This powerful item is normally carried by the Mistress of the Sultans Hareem. It is enchanted with a spell that distracts the minds of anyone attacking the bearer. Any living thing attacking the bearer of the Veil of Distraction is at -2 to hit in hand to hand combat. This does not effect Undead or Deamons.

The Rope of Kadizar......................25 points ARABY ONLY
When thrown in the air this rope appears to rise straight into the sky and disappear. In the movement phase a character with the rope of Kadizar may climb up it and disappear into the ether. In any of his subsequent movement phases he may climb back down the rope appearing anywhere on the battlefield, even in hand to hand combat. If the bearer of the rope descends from the heavens into hand to hand combat he counts as charging for the purposes of who strikes first.


The Arabian Magic Deck


The following is the Arabian Spell Deck.

Sandstorm - Power 2 - Range 24" Summon Whirlwind - Power 2
This spell may be cast at a single model or a unit. The Wizard summons up a powerful sandstorm that swirls around the target, preventing it from moving or shooting until the spell is dispelled or the wizard takes it back into his hand. This spell enables the Wizard to create a mighty whirlwind which prevents any models flying high. Models which are already high are forced to the ground and take D6 Strength 7 hits from their uncontrolled crash landing.
Hypnotism - Power 1 Flying Jambiya - Power 2 - Range 24"
The Wizard stares deep into the eyes of one of his Hand to Hand opponents. The victim must make a leadership roll or will be under the Wizards power unit the next magic phase. The wizard summons a powerful wind of glittering Jambiya which sweep across the battlefield to slash and stab at the foe. The Jambiya fly in a straight line up to a maximum distance of 24" hitting the first unit in its path. The wind causes 3D6 hits minus the targets weapons skill. Each hit causes a wound of a D6 score of 4+. Armour saves are taken against wounds as normal.
Summon Sand Lion - Power 2 Sand Blast - Power 3 - Range 24"
Using this spell the wizard causes the very sand around him to form into a lion. The Sand Lion will fight alongside the wizard until it is destroyed or diapelled. It has the following profile

Profile M WSBSS T W I A Ld
Sand Lion 6 5 5 4 4 2 7 3 8

A blasting sandstorm erupts from the wizards mouth and strikes the first unit in its path upto a range of 24". This blast of sand will strip the flesh from the body of its victims in an instant. The unit suffers 2D6 S5 hits with no saving throw possible for armour.
Oasis - Power 3 - Range 24" Hand of God - Power 1 - Range 3"
The wizard creates an Oasis within 24" of himself. Place a suitable terrain item, about 6" in diameter to represent this feature.
Any enemy units within 24" of the Oasis must make a leadership test at -2 at the beginning of each turn. If they pass the test they may move normally, otherwise they must move as fast as possible towards the Oasis. Once in contact with the Oasis they stop moving but the penalty on leadership tests increases to -4 to regain control. The Oasis lasts until it is dispelled or it is ended by the wizard.
The wizard summons a small Djinn to transport either himself or another model within 3" anywhere on the battle field. The model may be placed in base to base contact with enemy models and counts as charging for the purpose of hand to hand combat.
Curse of the Desert - Power 1 Sun Stroke - Power 2 - Range 24"
The wizard reaches out with his hand and attempts to drain all the moisture out of a single hand-to-hand opponent. Roll to hit a single opponent who is in base to base contact. If the attack hits the wizard drains all of the water out of the victim killing them instantly. Armour Saves may be made as normal. This spell may be cast at any model or unit within 24". A miniature sun appears over them and causes them to suffer from sunstroke. The unit becomes subject to the rules for Stupidity. The spell lasts until it is dispelled, the wizard ends it, or he is killed
