THE DEATHSPIKE OF CTHULU - 25 points.
The Death Spike was forged by Oin, a Rune Smith from the World's Edge Mountains. Oin being an exception among his kin in that he can tolerate Elves. After being saved from Orcs by Caradras the Stalker, War leader of the Pine Crags Kindred, Oin declared he would show his gratitude by giving him the weapon which was going to be given to a particularly suicidal Troll Slayer who was not surprisingly dead. Caradras refused the offer, preferring his trusty spear over a fist spike which wouldn't be very practical when fighting from an Eagle, so instead decided to give it to the most skilled warrior in Loren. Oin re-forged the size of the fist spike to fit the elvish races smaller hands. Cthulu was a Wardancer of much fame and reknown. The Spike allow the character to make one additional attack that ignores all armour saves and causes not 1 but 2 wounds. The characters normal attacks are made with a mundane hand weapon.

AMULET OF PROTECTION - 50 points
The character receives a 4+ special save against each wound suffered

AMULETT OF FORTUNE - 15 points
The character receives a 5+ special save against each wound suffered

RING OF TWIN APPEARENCE - 35 points
When the ring is invoked a twin materializes next to the bearer and starts to move as the bearer. This will confuse a warrior in hand-to-hand combat and he is likely to strike at the insubstantial twin. The Ring grants the bearer a 4+ special save in hand-to-hand combat. The ring offers no protection from shooting, warmachines or spells.

AMULETT OF CONNECTION - 50 points
The amulett connect the Wizards wellbeing with that of a nearby living person. If the Wizard is harmed in any manner the connected model is affected instead. If the Wizard takes a wound, from any source, than on the roll of 4+ a friendly living model within 2" takes the wound instead of the Wizard. This do not apply to auto-kill attacks or non damaging attacks. Only living models may take the wound, Undeads and Daemons do not count. Note that the model that take the wound do not receive a save of any kind against the wound. Of course if the character has joined a unit the unit will be most distracted as their comrades start to die from no appearent wound. Thus once the character has saved a wound, IE a RnF model has died, the unit suffer a -1 penalty to their LD. Also this ward may not be combined with a special save of any kind, its either this ward or the special save - not both. Of course if there are no friendly living models within 2" then the amulett can't be used to save wound, so don't bother to roll. Note that Undead Wizards have few living models that they can prey on but the item is in-character for them, I can imagine a Necromancer Lord letting his Necromancer Champion apprentice take the wounds.

AMULETT OF SOULDRAIN - 50 points
An Undead Wizard have used the amulett to collect souls from captives. If the Wizard is harmed in any manner he can expand the soul energy in the amulett to protect him from harm. The Wizard must roll a D6 and score higher than the number of times the amulett have been used, if he succed then the wound is saved. IE the first time is automatically a succes, the second time he must roll 2+ and the third time he must roll 3+. Once the amulett fail to save a wound the Wizard have expanded the trapped soul energy and it can't be used any more in the battle. Also this ward may not be combined with a special save of any kind, its either this ward or the special save - not both.
Undead Wizards only

WIZARD ARCANA

TRANSCRIPT FROM THE BOOK OF NAGASH - 50 pts
The Wizard has come across a number of pergaments that have been copied from a Book of Nagash. The Wizard gets access to Necromantic magic and can recast on the roll of 5+. However the Wizard don't have access to the most powerful spells and only Power 1 and 2 spells may be taken, remove all Power 3 spells before you deal out the spells. Note that the Wizard may not choose his spells and they are randomly drawn as normal.

STAFF OF MORK - 40 points
The Staff of Mork is one and a half time taller than a goblin and decorated with all sorts of feathers, vermin skulls, teeth and shiny things. The Goblin shaman that carry the staff often claim to be an Ork, as you just have to look at the staff to see that he is as tall as an Ork and he is green you know! The Staff actually grant the Goblin some powers of the Ork physique and the Goblin Shaman may add his magic level to the Waagh tests, just like an Ork.
