Zombies:
The most basic creatures to ever be created by a necromancer. Typically seen as baby’s first creature, the zombie is simple enough to be mass-produced with ease.
However, Zombies are slow, weak and incapable of doing more than simply bashing and biting their target. While dangerous to a peasant, zombies are relatively none threatening.
Cost: 100 Corpses

Ward 1
Capitol of the Black Rose faction and the seat of Isabella’s power.
The ward is heavily urbanized and one of the few wards that weren’t heavily modified by the original necromancy lords. The Hawkmourne’s mansion is located within this Ward, as well as the Necromantic Academy.

4/4 BR
 
Ward 2
Ward 2 was originally created by a necromancer lord that was researching the effects of plants upon necromantic magic. Ward 2 is part greenhouses and part jungle  with much of the population putting up housing near the greenhouses that they work, Terrain is considered Light Jungle.

4/4 BR

Ward 3
Ward is another one of the few wards that have not been heavily modified by the original lords, Instead it houses lots and lots of population, filled with dense buildings and walk ways, typically layered on top of each other to fit more people.

4/4 BR

Ward 4
Ward 4 acts as a harbor for smugglers, in what was originally a ward made up of mostly water with few Island. Now a days it is filled with rickety stone buildings and walkways that stretch between islands and serve as many landing pints for Smugglers that are keeping any trade they do with the Necropolis on the down low.

4/4 BR

Ward 5
Ward 5 is filled with small hills, large hills and mountainous cliff faces. Many of the people here have taken to making their towns and cities either build directly into cliff faces of build at heavy angle upon the hills.
Rumor has it that the original necromancer lord wished to study what effect living constantly on a slope would to humans.

4/4 BR

Ward 6
The necrotic fountain is what tinges all of the cities canals green. Originally an attempt to mass produce the newly discovered liquid by this wards necromancer lord, it was a failure, leading to the ward being flooded with Green tinged water, with the large fountain and some bridges being the only solid ground left. Thankfully for the civilians, the necromancer lords fountain was build rather big, more of a Caldara then a stone fountain.

4/4 BR

Ward 7
Ward 7 is a punishing place, Filled with heat, sand and possessing very little water. It is truly the original necromancer’s little slice of home, being a desert made with powerful enchantments.

4/4 BR

Ward 8
One of the few untouched Wards, ward 8 is very plainly just more urban housing, filled with people and many houses in close proximity to each other. While not the overdeveloped ward 3 or the relatively high-class ward 1 or 14, ward is is rather middle of the road.

4/4 EV

Ward 9
Ward 9 was created to serve as both long-term storage and a testing ground for the effects of decomposition of necromantic magic. Being filled with nothing but graveyards with some housing for the people who call this ward home.
as well, ward 9 features a large labyrinth underneath it that can be used to travel around the ward relatively quickly. If you don’t get lost that is.

4/4 EV

Ward 10
The necromancer lord of ward 10 was obsesses with the effect of mud and water on corpses, and well as the various plant life that call this place home. Ward 10 is a giant swamp, filled with flesh eating bugs, sucking mud and mucky water. The denizens of ward 10 are known to be miserable people, probably due to their living accommodations.

4/4 EV

Ward 11
Ward eleven was originally created to study low oxygen’s effect son the human body, but these days it also serves a massive living structures for its population.
Known by its nickname of towering heights, ward 11 is filled with massive skyscraping buildings that are connected via sky bridges.
Because of the sheer amount of stairs to reach the top of bottom, as well as the thought of carrying provisions up their, many Residents tend to spend a majority of their time in the floors near then or in similar level floors in other towers. Supplies are delivered via hand crane.
4/4 EV

Ward 12
Ward 12 is a massive, smooth dome from the outside. Inside the Ward is filled with nothing but torch light and darkness, with many tunnels reaching deep in the ward to provide living space to its population.
Many Ward 12vers are known to wrap heavy cloth around their eyes when they must leave the ward, as well as heavy cloth to prevent their alabaster skin from burning under the sun.

4/4 EV

Ward 13
Ward 13 is the Official dock of the city, featuring a massive bay that is connected to the ocean via an underground cave system. All “official” shipping and water craft will god through ward 13 and it has docks to match up with such a task. Ward 13 Also has the tools to make ships, but in the coming war such things are of no use.

4/4 EV

Ward 14
The 14th ward is the last of the urban wards, and is considered high class, matching up with ward 1 in turns of wealth.
The Ediolon Vigils leader, Damien Blackthorn lives at his family mansion in ward 14 and it is considered the capital of the movement, with a majority of the leadership also making their home here.

Bleached skull capital - Ward 14

Every turn, you get 7 Dice. These can be saved for future turns, and/or spent in the design or revision phases detailed below:
Design Phase: Spend 3 Dice to design something new or make major modifications to something existing. Designs typically result in a Project (detailed below), which takes time and resources to develop to the point where you can start using the design in the first place. During this phase, you can also spend Dice to progress Projects. Any dice spent on a design beyond the base three adds advantage to the Progress roll.

Revision Phase: Spend 1 dice to revise an existing thing, whether it's a prototype, design, project, or anything else. Revisions have their affects apply instantly and don't usually cost anything to implement, but have a reduced scope and complexity.

Production Phase: Spend resources to build Units, Buildings and equipment inside of your districts, adjust existing ones, or repair anything damaged in prior combat.

Tactics phase: During this phase you choose which wards to deploy your forces into, designating which forces will be taking the field this turn.


Projects represent the time and research it takes to fully implement a design. When a Project is started, a 1d6 die is rolled for each category: Time, which determines how many "points" you need to finish the Project; Progress, which determines how many "points" you get automatically per (end of) Design phase (a "1" gives 1 point per turn, a "2"/"3" gives 2 points, a "4"/"5" gives 3 points, and a "6" gives 4 points); and Cost, which determines how expensive it'll be to progress the Project forward outside of the automatic points per turn (the exact cost depends largely on the design itself).
During the Design phase, you can spend any number of Dice to progress forward a Project. Each die invested requires the Project's cost to be deducted from your resources, and gives you 1d6 points towards project completion. Each die invested can also be rushed, giving you 2d6 points instead of 1d6, but also giving a 33% chance of a random severity bug or worsening of an existing bug.
Projects may be cancelled at any time, giving you 50% of all invested resources back and a random number of dice between 1 and the total allotted (including the 3 spent to start the project) back.

A Prototype is rolled for at the start of every Project, with a single category rolled by 2d4: Efficacy, which determines how effective it'll be (relative to its difficulty). If a Project has a manufacturable end result, then once the Project hits 50% completion, Prototypes can be manufactured at twice the cost of the normal price until the project is completed. If the Project does not have a manufacturable end result, then the Prototype will most likely be a lesser form of the end result, implemented once you hit 50% completion.

An example project header would be:
Rancid Flesh Goliath: 20/40 [2] | 10 Necrotic fluid + 100 Corpse’s + 50 Non-metals| Rushed 1 times | 50 Necrotic Fluid, 500 Corpses, 250 Non-Metals, and 5 dice invested
Name, followed by current progress/total needed with the amount guaranteed per turn in brackets, then how much each die of progress costs, the number of times the project has been rushed, and the total resources that have been currently invested.

There are 5 resources with which the factions must concern themselves with.

Necrotic fluid: A product of years of necromantic research, the Necrotic fluid  is used to help bind souls into the target medium. If the project concern using souls (creating a Spectral unit, A phylactery (for example) or binding a soul into a body for a smarter zombie) then Necrotic Fluid is required.

Non-metals:, wood, Twine, Sutures, cloth. Any Mundane materiel that isn’t metal is covered by Non-metals.

Corpses: A basic in the art of necromancy, generally gathered from the sick and dying peasants of the necropolis. If a Unit requires a flesh and bone to be created, it will require corpse. (Zombies made from things such as Minotaur’s and manticores Cost more corpses than those created from human, but are possible and viable)

Metal: Metals that are used to create whatever your hearts desire, whether metal claws, built in armor or just a plain old spear. If it uses metal this is the resource to look at.

Special corpses: Corpses of paladin, powerful mages and kings. These corpses are rare, even with those that are being exhumed from the labyrinth beneath the city and those that are smuggled in from outside. Special corpses are used to make truly powerful things. Whether Powerful Units of Death Knights and liches, or Floating monoliths that fire necromantic energy, Flying undead Valkyries or flaming skeletal Giants. Special corpses are the remains of the truly powerful, the hero’s and Tyrants of the world. (Rare, Cannot be gained from recycling)

Every season, you will gain resources from the buildings and wards that you control, after the Tactics phase but before fighting resolves.

 
buildings fall roughly into two categories.
Defensive buildings that make it harder to attack into a ward such as fortifications.
Production buildings that will produce resources every turn.

Building must be built in a district, and you cannot have two buildings per district. Every ward has 4 districts and as such 4 building slots.

Both Factions start the game with their capitol. This Building generates resources, does not ocupy a district and is completly unique, meaning their is only the one

During the tactics phase, you will deploy units into the various Wards that are under your control. During the battle, those units will attempt to attack the ward connected to their deployment zone. If their deployment zone is touching more then 1 Ward, then you must specify what Unit(s) are attacking what Ward.
If a district has been taken in the ward that they are deployed, they will not attack another ward and instead will automatically attack the Enemy held district.

During the combat phase the winner will be determined after determining Attacking forces, terrain of the ward, defending forces and all other advantages that both sides posses. Winning in combat will result in one side going territory and one side losing it. The winning side will gain control of 1 district of the ward (decided via 1d4/1d3/1d2/) and all buildings inside that district.
When gaining control of a district with a building, a d6 is rolled, on a 1 that Building requires repair for 25% of its cost to use.

Defensive buildings are always considered Damaged when lost or gained. Defensive buildings are always the last districts to be taken. (I.E there are three production buildings and 1 defensive building. The Dice for determining taken districts will start as a d3 instead of d4. And no, four defensive buildings do NOT prevent your opponent from taking any ground)

Units are the term for a group of whatever creature you created. 1 unit of zombies is equal to 100 zombies, while something like a Bone giant unit would be something like 10 bone giants.

During the production phase, units can be scrapped this gives you back 50% of their production cost. This can be done to help clear out obsolete units if you do not believe that they are good for even cannon fodder, or if you are running low on resources.

 
In the production phase, is a term that covers many things, from Armor to place on zombies, tower shield to give to Skeletal giants or soulfire amulets to burn the souls of your enemies. These are Items that are created during the Production phase and can be assigned to units during the tactics phase.
Equipment is a thing that is an Add-ons to your units. If a zombie has metal gloves in the project that created him, those gloves will already be factored into the units costs.
Not all equipment will benefit all creatures, so think before assigning equipment (I.E, Don’t give a zombie that can barely shamble a greatsword or a ghost who can’t touch things a blade)

Victory is achieved by taking the enemies Capital ward or control of all wards except their capital.

Infantry:

Smasha - A variety of handheld bludgeoning tools consisting of whatever the boys of the hamma huntaz warband can get their hands on that they think will produce a nice meaty Thwack when propelled into a git. This can be anything from sticks and bludgeons on a chain to small hammers and mallets. Most of these implements appear to be made out of scrap metal.
1 Metal Gubbinz. [Cheap]


Slugga - A pistol sized for an orks hand. Sheer caliber makes up for the lack of power caused by being a black powder weapon. Typically used by Boys in addition to a choppa and often fired for no more reason than to hear the Slugga shooting.
1 Metal Gubbinz 1 Shiny Bitz. [Cheap]

Big Hamma - A massive hammer typically wielded by the nobs of the Hamma huntaz. These hamma are typically of a size such that any non-Ork Nob would be crushed under the weight. Typically made from Scrap metal and bone.
2 Metal Gubbinz. [Cheap]


Ork leathers – Consisting of A rough shirt and pair of pants made out of Squig leather, They are better then nothing. Unlikely to do much with the poor quality of the leather and The fact that the stitching is so rough that your average Nob can stick his hands in the numerous wholes. Bette r then nothing, but not by much. 1 Metal Gubbinz. [Cheap]

Vehicles:

Trukk - Wheels, a metal frame and an engine that makes Very loud noises and goes fast. The trukk is Everything that an ork looks for in a vehicle, or at least enough to count as a Vehicle to an ork. The trukk lacks any and all armour in order to go as fast as possible and carry as many orks and can Hold on.
Comes with a reinforced grill and bumper so the driver can get in on the melee to.
3 Metal Gubbinz. 1 Shiny Bitz. [Expensive]  +1 TC

Air power:

Naval vehicles:

Ork dingie - A floating junk pile made of scrap wood, metal and bone thrown together with the vague hope it won’t sink before the boys can get to a good scrap. Held together with a prayer and Squig Glue.
3 Metal Gubbinz 1 Shiny Bitz [Expensive] (+1TC)

Squigs:

Hair squig -: A important part in any flash orks repertoire, the hair squig latches onto an orks head and gives them a topknot that makes them look dead ‘ard. Very important piece of tech right here.
