Weapon Enchantments are upgrades to weapons. The upgraded mundane weapon is referred to as enchanted weapon and follows all rules for both the original weapon and the Weapon Enchantment. The following rules apply to Weapon Enchantments and enchanted weapons:


• A model may only have a single Weapon Enchantment.

• If a model has more than one weapon, it must be noted on the Army List which weapon has been enchanted (remember that all models are equipped with a Hand Weapon).

• Each Weapon Enchantment applies to a specific weapon (e.g. a Great Weapon) or a category of weapons (e.g. Close Combat Weapons). Note that Shooting Weapons that count as a Close Combat Weapon in close combat (such as a Brace of Pistols from the Empire of Sonnstahl Army Book) cannot normally be Enchanted with a Close Combat Weapon enchantment.

• A model armed with an enchanted Close Combat Weapon (including a Hand Weapon) must use it when performing Close Combat Attacks if able to do so.

• A model armed with an enchanted Shooting Weapon must use it when performing a Shooting Attack if able to do so.

• Attacks made with an enchanted weapon become Magical Attacks.

Armour Enchantments are upgrades to Armour Equipment. The upgraded mundane armour is referred to as enchanted armour and follows all rules for both the original Armour Equipment and the Armour Enchantment. The following rules apply to Armour Enchantments and enchanted armour:


• Each piece of armour a model is carrying may be enchanted with a single Armour Enchantment.

• If the wearer has more than one piece of armour that could be enchanted, it must be noted on the Army List which one has been enchanted. If a model has no Armour Equipment, it cannot take Armour Enchantments.

• Each Armour Enchantment applies to a specific piece of armour (e.g. Heavy Armour) or a category of armour (e.g. Suits of Armour).
