Expedition Construction

Rules for building Your Expedition Roster and War Parties

  • Expedition Roster: 1500 points
  • War Party (army list per battle): 750 points

War Parties for each battle are selected from your Expedition Roster. These rules replace the standard Warhammer Fantasy army composition rules (such as percentage requirements for Lords, Heroes, Core, Special, and Rare). All other normal rules still apply, including character magic item limits, unit options and upgrades, mount availability, and any other restrictions listed in the army books.

Character Restrictions

  • Lord-level characters are not allowed
  • Named characters are not allowed

This campaign focuses on new characters created by the players. Your Expedition Leader and companions represent new adventurers seeking their fortune, not famous figures of the Warhammer world.

Players are encouraged to name their Expedition Leader and companions, and give a short description of why they joined the expedition.

1. Create Your Expedition Leader

  • Up to 150 points
  • Must be a Hero-level character
  • Wizards must be Level 1

Monstrous Infantry Leaders: If your Expedition Leader is Monstrous Infantry, the point limit increases to 175 points.

Mounts: Mounts must be purchased during Expedition Roster creation. The cost of the mount does not count toward the character's personal point limit, but does count toward the total Expedition Roster limit.

Mundane Equipment: Mundane Equipment is not counted toward your Expedition Roster — it is purchased when building a War Party for each scenario.

Your Expedition Leader counts toward your Expedition Roster.

Companions

Your Expedition Leader is not alone on this journey.

Additional characters and unit champions in your Expedition Roster are considered companions. These individuals may take command of the War Party in battles where your Expedition Leader is not present.

Players are encouraged to name their companions and describe why they follow the Expedition Leader.

Hero's Journey

Your Expedition Leader must take part in the first and final battles of the campaign.

In other scenarios they may rest, allowing a companion to lead the War Party.

2. Create Your Expedition Roster

Create a 1500 point Expedition Roster including your Expedition Leader.

  • Up to 2 additional Characters may be included
    • These follow the same construction rules as your Expedition Leader
  • Minimum 2 Infantry units
    • Each must contain 10+ models
  • Maximum 25 models per unit
  • Maximum 225 points per model
  • Up to 2 War Machines, but they must be different types
  • Maximum one Chariot
  • Maximum one Monster
  • Up to 75 points of faction magic items
  • Up to 300 points spent on characters + magic items
Unique or unusual units should be classified by their closest equivalent, using common sense and table agreement.

3. Building a War Party

For each scenario, select units from your Expedition Roster to create a 750 point War Party.

War Parties are constructed following Warhammer Fantasy rules, with the following additional restrictions:

  • At least 1 character
  • At least 2 non-character units
  • Maximum 2 Special choices
  • Maximum 1 Rare choice
  • At least 1 infantry unit with 10+ models

If the unit fulfilling this requirement is Monstrous Infantry, the minimum size is 3 models.

Equipment: When building your War Party, you may purchase mundane equipment for characters and units as normal.

4. Unit Size

  • Units do not need to be fielded at full size
  • Units may be split into two smaller units if their size allows
  • If split, divide command models between them
