NOTES

There are two versions of the Sword of Teclis, one gives no Armor save the other gives a normal save. The Book of Ashur's original point cost of 50 points is wrong. See North America Games Workshop's Primarch Newsletter July '93. The magic items from the original Warhammer Fantasy Battles game are not to be used with magic items from the Warhammer Battle Magic supplement. See North America Games Workshop's Primarch Newsletter July '93. Runes may only be used by Dwarfs. Engineering Runes can only be used on Dwarf War machines.

These Names have been abreviated in order to save space.
