Slayer Champions
Giant Slayer..... 63 points
Dragon Slayer..... 136 points
Daemon Slayer..... 210 points
A unit of Dwarf Slayers may include any number of Slayer Champions. This is an exception to the normal rule which limits units to a single Champion. There are three different kinds of Dwarf Slayer Champion: Giant Slayer, Dragon Slayer, and Daemon Slayer. Your unit may include as many kinds as you wish and as many of each kind as you wish.

2 | 4 | 3 | 10 |
Daemon Slayer | 3 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 5 |
3 | 5 | 4 | 10 |
Equipment: Slayer Champions may be armed with the same combination of weapons allowed to Slayer units: any moel can carry either a single axe, an axe in each hand, or a double-handed axe (see Equipment List for points values). Note that models do not have to identically armed - Slayers may have a varieyt of these weapon combinations if you wish. Remember that Slayers do not wear armour.
Magic Items: Slayer Champions are entiteled to up to one magic weapon. This can be a runic weapon if you wish. Note that Slayer Champions may only ever have one magic item and this must always be a weapon and not armour, a talisman, etc. Bear in mind that a character carrying a magic weapon cannot use another weapon at the same time. This means that there is little point in giving a Slayer Champion two weapons if you want to give him a magic weapon.
Note: Slayer Champions are an exception to the normal rules in that a Slayer unit may include any number of Champions. It is possible for a unit of Slayers to consist entirely of Champions (so long as there are at least five models in total).
0-1 Runesmith
Runesmith..... 78 points
Master Runesmith..... 187 points
Rune Lord..... 306 points

Rune Lord | 3 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 6 |
4 | 5 | 4 | 10 |
Equipment: Axe, hammer or other hand weapon.
Weapons/Armour: A Runesmith may be armed with any of the weapons or amour indicated on the Equipment List.
Magic Items: A Runesmith of any type may have up to three magic items. This is an exception to the normal limitations on account of the nature of the Runesmith. They may be runic magic items if you wish.
Note: A Runesmith may ride into battle on an Anvil of Doom accompanied by two Anvil guards. Each Anvil guard is a Champion with heavy armour armed with a double-handed hammer. Anvil guards must remain withing 4" of the Anvil. They are not subject to the pursuit rules. While the Runesmith is alive they are not affected by psychology and cannot be broken. The total cost of the Anvil plus its two guards is 200 points.
Special Rules: Runesmiths are not wizards. Although the Dwarf army may use the magic cards Dispel and Drain Magic, these are played on behalf of the Dwarf army as a whole. The army can use these cards whether it includes a Runesmith or not, the presence of a Runesmith makes no difference.
A Runesmith may make use of an Anvil of Doom in battle. If a Runesmith has an Anvil then he can make use of the magic cards as described in the rules for Anvils.
Runesmiths have no magic level as such. Any Dispel cards played on behalf of the Dwarfs always work on a 4+ irrespective of the level of the enemy wizard. In the case of lightning bolts from the Anvil of Doom, enemy dispels will always work on a 4+ irrespective of the level of the enemy wizard or the Runesmith.
