Going pretty good on this at the moment, so lets keep it going. Onto the magic standards.
As before, changes only permitted due to upgrading to the 8th edition.
Standard of Lifelessness - 125pts
This standard hungers for the life essence of its enemies. Urged by the dead that march under it, it consumes the will and souls of those nearby.
For every rank consisting of at least 5 models the owning unit has, enemies within 6" get -1 Ld for the purpose of breaking. For example for 3 ranks, enemy units would suffer -3 to their Ld. This modifier effects Ld based tests and attacks.
The Hunger Stone - 70pts
Atop this standard sits a massive black diamond that thrums with the power of of the Dark Lord himself. Under its influence the dead are driven relentlessly forwards with a hunger for living flesh
Bound Spell. Power Level 5
If successfully cast 3 friendly undead units within 18" may march move or charge as per the BRB
Banner of the Ages - 50 points
One Use Only
This ancient standard is infused with the power of the ages that have gone by since the very beginning of the ragged flag's existence. Enemies attempting to approach the bearer find their movement sluggish as though time itself conspires to keep them at bay.
Declare you are using this banner during the enemy's Declare Charges phase, after charges have been declared but before charge distances are measured. This banner may only be used if the bearer or his unit chooses Hold as their charge reaction. For this turn, any units charging the bearer or his unit reduce their maximum charge distance by D6+3 inches. Models with the Ethereal special rule are immune to the effects of this banner.
The Crystal of Geheiminsnacht - 40pts
The baleful glare of this cursed crystal scorches the eyes of those who look upon it.
When a magic missile, or missile weapon including war machines are targeted at the bearer, and/or the unit he is in, the bearer may use this item. The unit attempting to shoot must take a leadership test, which they cannot use their generals Ld. If this is failed, they must target something else.
Swarm Banner - 40pts
This grotesque banner is made from the skins of slain enemies and has a permanent cloud of stinking flies surrounding it. These insects have diseased and rotting bodies that can infect and even kill men..
At the end of every turn roll D6 for every enemy model in btb contact with this unit. On a roll of 6, the model suffers one wound with no armour saves allowed.
Doomrider Banner - 40pts
The coldness that exudes from this banner temporarily freezes all who come in contact with it, allowing the rampaging dead to cut them down without mercy
One Use Only. Cavalry Only. At any point during the battle the bearer of this banner may activate its power. Providing the unit charges that turn, all their attacks automatically hit in the following combat phase. This includes the mounts attacks but does not any characters or their mounts that have joined the unit.
Warp Banner - 35pts
This standard covered with dreaded spells and warp stones can manipulate the winds of magic to it's owner's advantage
While bearer is not fleeing, add +1 dispel dice during opponent's magic phase. In addition the bearer and unit he is with receive a Magic Resistance of (1)
If there is a friendly caster in BtB contact with the bearer, at any point during the magic phase they may choose to use the banner's warpstone. The caster gains +2PD for that magic phase only, however the banner looses its powers for the rest of the battle.
The Pennant of Eternal Death - 35pts
This banner warps the air, creating an illusion of legions of dead that will never die
The unit bearing this banner always count as outnumbering enemy units they charge, or are involved in combat with, regardless of actual unit strengths. This banner may not be taken by the BSB
W'sorans shroud - 25pts
This tattered cloth was enchanted by Nagash to imprison W'soran and his acolytes while they were tortured, after there failure to overthrow Nehekara. It still echoes with their screams, which no creature can hear and not be afraid.
All units that are within 6" and are not undead suffer -1 to their Ld. This also affects units with the Nagashi rule.
