We haven’t forgotten the weapon your Gnome has carried since first learning to fight. The third Specialist weapon is the Sword. Swords are nimble weapons and can be used to make precision attacks and to respond quickly in defence.

A model using a Sword takes one of their Attack or Defence Dice before rolling and turns it to whatever result they desire. They then roll the rest as normal.

For example, our brave Gnome warrior wants to inflict a Heavy Blow on its opponent. The player takes the appropriate number of Attack Dice, places one on the table with 6 showing and rolls the others. The fight then proceeds as normal. When he’s next attacked he can choose the result of one Defence Dice to attempt to avoid the attack result he fears.
