Scenario 1 — A Slayer is Born!

Your recently disgraced Dwarf hero is on a pilgrimage to Karak Kadrin to pay homage at the Temple of the Slayers and officially begin his short (if successful) career as a Slayer. In order to make it to the Slayer Hold, your doomed hero must weather the perils of the wilderness.

BATTLEFIELD

This battle takes place on a 36" x 36"table. This scenario take place in the woods, but it can just as easily be modified for the mountains, the underground, or where ever else you want to play; choose the locale for which you have the most terrain. Populate your battlefield with terrain pieces no more than 12" apart. There should be plenty of obstacles for the Slayer and monsters to move around.

OBJECTIVES

The Dragon Slayer needs to make it to Karak Kadrin and must exit off of the northernmost board edge to continue his journey. Leaving the table off the northern edge earns a victory for the Dwarf player.

The player controlling the opposing forces needs to kill the Slayer hero before he exits the northern board edge. Doing so defeats the Dragon Slayer and keeps him from many valuable Victory Points.

DEPLOYMENT

The Dragon Slayer begins the game on the southern edge of the battlefield.

The opposition's Deployment Zone is the northern edge of the table, although the player controlling the opposing forces starts the game with no models on the board.

WHO GOES FIRST?

The player controlling the Dragon Slayer takes the 1st turn.

SPECIAL RULES

Skirmish. This battle is a Skirmish game. All the rules on pp. 242-246 of the Warhammer rulebook apply.

Monsters Assemble! If there are no creatures on the battlefield at the beginning of the opposing forces' turn, immediately roll on the chart below:

The controlling player may place these creatures anywhere along the northern board edge. As always, newly deployed creatures can move but can't charge the turn they are placed upon the table.

Once the Dragon Slayer comes within 12"of the northern board edge, use the following chart to generate a final opponent. This table should only be used once, in the same way as the table above, and it will generate the last creature the Dragon Slayer will face.

If you change the location of your scenario (underground, for instance), you should alter these charts to generate enemies that frequent the type of terrain used.

PART OF A LARGER GAME

If played as part of the Slayer Campaign, Victory Points are awarded to the Slayer player for meeting the following objectives.

Remember to keep careful track of these Victory Points, as the winner of the campaign will be determined by them!

If this scenario is played as the preamble to a larger Warhammer battle (1,500 points or more), a winning Slayer player can field an additional Hero (100 points maximum value) for free. If the opposition forces defeat the Hero, the controlling player gets an additional 100 points of Core troops for free.
