Special Rules

· All models with the HERO keyword will start the day with 4x the heroic resources shown on their profile.

· That’s all you get for the day, and you will not regain these heroic stats unless you have a special rule that says otherwise (Bloody and Glory, Strengthen Will, Etc)

· If a character dies, they will start the next game with the remaining heroic resources and full wounds

· At the start of the day, you elect one of your models to be your champion. When they slay an enemy model in combat, roll a D6. On a natural 6, you gain a gold piece. For each gold piece, you unlock the abilities shown below. In the event you unlock a special rule you already have then you do not gain that new ability.

You can try and ration your resources throughout the day or spend it all in game 1. The choice is yours.
