The Old World meets Age Of Sigmar: Prince Ulther's Dragon Company

This is the first of what will be many house rules I will be creating for the Age of Sigmar, as I bring many beloved and forgotten things from the world that was into the new age.

I present the first draft of the rules for Prince Ulther and his Dragon Company, they were a Regiment of Renown back in the mid 80’s so 2^nd and 3^rd edition Warhammer Fantasy.

There are two Warscrolls one for Prince Ulther himself and one for his Imperial Dwarfs in the Dragon Company.

The leader of this unit is the Dragon Captain. A Dragon Captain makes 2 attacks rather than 1.

Standard Bearers

Models in this unit may be Standard Bearers. Standard Bearers carry a Dragon Banner.

Hornblowers

Models in this unit can be Hornblowers. When a unit containing any Hornblowers runs, they can ‘Sound the Advance’. If they do so, do not roll a dice to see how far the unit runs; instead, they can move up to an extra 4".

Abilities:

Brace of Dwarf Pistols: Models armed with a Brace of Dwarf Pistols can shoot twice in the shooting phase instead of once.

Dragon Shield: Models with a Dragon Shield may re-roll failed save rolls of 1.

Dragon Banner: The unit is wreathed in runic dragon flames, if the unit suffers mortal wounds those wounds may be ignored on a roll of a 5 or 6. If the result is a 6 the mortal wound is ignored and the unit that caused it suffers a mortal wound.

KEYWORDS: ORDER, DUARDIN, DISPOSSESSED, DRAGON COMPANY

I will eventually test these scrolls out and make a nice PDF download once they are ready for prime time and I have the new models painted for them. 

Just for fun reference this is my original unit of the models painted in the 80's I have a new set in the box just waiting to be painted for Age of Sigmar. 

Until next time may you dice roll sixes!
