A unit standard bearer costs double the points of a normal figure in the unit. Include the cost of all of the equipment for a rank and file member of the unit before doubling it for the cost of the standard bearer. For unit standard bearer in chariot units, the cost of the chariot is included before the cost is doubled for the standard bearer.

Points values are a useful means of working out evenly matched armies. A game with 1000 points on each side will, theoretically at least, be an equal contest of skill and generalship. Of course, the battlefield terrain will affect your chances of victory, and some kinds of terrain favour one side above another, but on the whole it is better to have a points value system than not. Creatures have a points value that reflects their fighting abilities on the battlefield. These values are based on the creature's relative profiles to an extent, and also on its special powers, limitations, inherent strengths and weaknesses. The value of an ordinary Man is 5, and this is the base value. All other points values are worked out relative to this. A Goblin is 2 1/2 points; weaker than a Man, a poorer fighter, more likely to run away, and inferior in most respects. Elves are valued at 8 points. They are more skilled with weapons than a Man. less likely to run from combat and very fast. As well as giving a points value for every type of creature, values are included for weapons and armour. A creature's own points value includes a sword, club, axe or other hand weapon but does not include other weapons or armour. If a warrior is equipped with a spear he costs more points, and if he wears a mail shirt and carries a shield he costs more points still. The more equipment he has, the more points a warrior is worth.

Points Values

A musician costs double the points of a normal figure in the unit.

Yes. Champions may only ride in chariots if allowed by the army list.

The opponent only gets victory points once the chariot and rider are destroyed, whether the rider is a hero or not.

Every 3 squig hopper killed is worth 1 victory point.

Compute the total point value of the character, his equipment and his mount. Victory points are awarded for this. Then compute the total point value of the rest of the unit, victory points are then awarded for that as well. If the character or monster mount die separately, victory points are awarded for each, but if they die together, combine the point total before computing victory points.

No, treat them as separate units for victory points.

Characters other than champions are worked out separately from the unit.
