www.tempusfugitives.co.uk THE GAUNTLET OF IND FACTION: THE FORCES OF DESTRUCTION When choosing an army to fight for the Forces of Destruction, you must use one of the Forces of Destruction Sub-Faction lists on the following pages. In all cases the most recent edition of the army book will be used. These are the only armies permitted in this Faction during the weekend. If you have any further questions regarding army selection, please contact the event organisers before the weekend and check the forums at www.tempusfugitives.co.uk. The published Army Books used in this campaign for the Forces of Destruction are: Beastmen; Chaos Dwarfs; Daemons of Chaos; Dark Elves; Orcs & Goblins; Skaven; Vampire Counts; Warriors of Chaos. You may use a standard army from any of these lists or you may take one of the themed sub-faction lists detailed overleaf. All supplementary rules to your Army Book can be found in this pack. There are several units which may be taken by the Forces of Destruction during the Gauntlet of Ind campaign. They are detailed on the following pages and are considered fully usable for this narrative campaign weekend. Where a unit is restricted to one sub-faction, it is clearly indicated in the unit entry.
www.tempusfugitives.co.uk THE GAUNTLET OF IND SUB-FACTION: BEASTMEN Beastmen are partly human and partly animal creatures. Their minds too are a hybrid of man and beast; although they have the intelligence of humans, they employ it with the savage cunning of a wild animal. Throughout the world, Beastmen thrive upon the edges of civilization, raiding isolated farmsteads, villages, and other settlements. In the Lands of Ind, tiger striped feline Beastmen lurk in the dark forests and ancient mangroves. The Cloven Ones, as they like to call themselves, belong to Chaos in both body and soul. Unlike humans who need to be tempted and brokered into serving the Dark Gods, or even the hardy men-folk residing in the North who are indoctrinated from the moment they are born, the Beastmen are creatures of Chaos with every fibre of their being. They have no more choice in this than a fish has a choice whether to live under the water. Above all, though it is the trappings of progress and civilisation that Beastmen abhor more than anything else. The sight of a proud flag or coat of arms, a pristine uniform or a magnificent statue elicits a powerful reaction – a rabid bloodlust – for the things of order are anathemas to the true Children of Chaos. The Beastmen make no historical records but all hold a collective memory of an age when man was nothing more than quarry and the Beastmen ruled the world. With the coming of empires, kingdoms and tribal unification, then advances in culture and technology, man thought it had beaten back the wild. They are wrong and while they sit behind walled cities, deep down they know that the Beastmen will burst forth from the woods in uncountable hordes, sunder civilisation and bring it back to a more primal, chaotic age when the Cloven Ones ruled supreme. BEASTMEN ARMY SELECTION: Chosen from the Warhammer Armies Beastmen book. The army may include any of the units listed as normal. All named Beastmen characters are permitted. GAVES AND TURNSKINS: Bestial children born to human parents or humans who at a later stage of life began to develop mutations are ostracised and despised by humanity. Many of them become renegades and some manage to join a Beastmen tribe who will accept them as slaves or even Ungors. Some parents abandon their mutant babies near a forest, or set afloat in a river on a raft of reeds, to die of hunger and exposure. These creatures rarely die however, as the ears of Beastmen are always alert to the cries of their own kind. Many of these foundlings are adopted and raised by Beastmen, who consider such a child a ‘gave’, a gift of the dark gods. GAVES: A single character may be upgraded to a Gave for +35 points. The resentful model and any unit they lead count as rolling a double 1 on their Primal Fury test if facing humans. Furthermore Gaves are considered favoured by their army and count as a Battle Standard Bearer (but may not be given a standard). A Gave may be the army general. TURNSKINS: A single unit of Ungors may be downgraded to Turnskins for no additional cost. The resentful unit count as rolling a double 1 on their Primal Fury test if facing humans. Turnskins may never benefit from any leadership bonuses. As mutants rather than true Beastmen they should be modelled appropriately.
