• It may include up to three specialist troopers.

Special training

In addition to the regular training every initiate undergoes, the templars are further tutored by their appointed commanders. Depending on the mission they are given, it might be intensive physical work-out, if the unit is expected to cover large stretches craggy highlands, or a number of other, highly-specialized exercises. In the case of the Scarlet Watch, the templars are often subjected to mystical rites which grant them extraordinary powers... The exact nature of these ceremonies is a closely guarded secret and revealed to no one but the circle of high mages.

When building a Scarlet Watch army, the player may purchase one, and only one, of the following types of special training. The cost of each model in the army increases by the amount specified in the training’s description. If playing a campaign, each new recruit enlisted between battles must also pay for the chosen training.

• Terror – at the start of each turn, before the Command Phase begins, the player may choose one of his models for each full 100 GC of his current army. Until the end of the turn, the selected model gains Fear/(X+2), where X is the model’s base BRV score. Increase the cost of each model in the army by 1GC.
• Hold the line! – all models in the army have Indomitable. Increase the cost of each model in the army by 1GC.
• Dark salvation – this training may be used whenever a friendly model within 10” of a mystic belonging to the army is target of a damage roll. After making the damage roll but before resolving it, the mystic may expend 3 Magic Stones to force the opponent to re-roll all successes gained in that damage roll; results of 10 do not generate bonus dice in this re-roll. The mystic may not use this ability on himself. Increase the cost of each model in the army by 2GC.
• Reform – at the end of the Recovery Phase, each model in the army that is not in melee may move up to 1” in any direction. At no point during this action may the model come into base contact with an enemy model(s). Increase the cost of each model in the army by 1GC.

The Scarlet Watch Armory

Blade of the Fallen – a most unusual sword, its blade had been forged from armor and arms of templars who perished in battle. It is to remind its wielder how the end of their service should be. Due to the unique nature of the weapon, it may be used either as a one-handed weapon, in this case the model may use two such weapons at once, or a two-handed weapon. Templars have utmost respect towards these swords and may never throw them. Every time the owning player puts together attack and damage dice pools, he chooses whether the Blade of the Fallen is considered a one – or two-handed weapon.

Scythe of the Damned – a symbol of authority the mages wield over the Scarlet Watch. By no means a hollow badge, the scythe makes for a powerful weapon in the hands of a mage. A Scythe of the Damned is a two-handed weapon. Before rolling on the damage table against the enemy, the wielder may sacrifice 1 HP (and only one) to add +1 to the final result.

Throwing Axe – a ranged weapon designed to be thrown over a short distance. It cannot be used in close combat. Each Throwing Axe may be thrown only once. When playing a campaign, assume the weapon is recovered after each battle.

3” – 6” / Maximum range
