Beastmasters are elves who hunt wild beasts of Nagaroth and train them to obey their orders. Thanks to them Cold One Knights have their mounts. Some captured creatures are used in battles as units of Battle Beasts, other serve as mounts. Some are killed and their skin, blood, claws or venom are used in production of poisons, armors (dragon cloaks) and other things. There are three types of Beastmasters:

• Hunters: are trained to hunt down and capture beasts of nagaroth. They infiltration skills are superior as well as their trapping skills. Hunters often are accompanied by scout goups.                                                                                                                                                               Cost: 58p

Equipment: Hunters wear heavy leather armors (see special rules), and carry reppeter crossbows.                                                                                        Special Rules: Hunter may join ordinary scout unit and acts as champion. Such unit becomes Hunters Pack and benefits from bonuses described below:                                                                                                            Accurate Shooting- hunter's are masters in using repeating crossbows and train their packs in shooting. Hunter and his pack ignores -1 to hit penalty when using repeteating crossbows.                                                                            Ambushers: Hunter can lead his pack very close to their pray. He can do the same during the battle and allow his troops to get behind enemy lines. That mean that Hunter's Pack can deploy anywhere on the battlefield (even in opponents deployment zone) as long as any of enemy models does no see them.                                                                                                            Hard Leather Armor- Hunter wears his leather armor made from skins and furs of killed animals and it's decorated with many trophies. It gives him unmodified armor save on 6+. Hunters pack can be equipped with such armors for 3 points per model.
If the hunter will be killed, the unit lose those bonusses, because they lack the leadership and experience of a Hunter.

• Beastmasters: are masters in training smaller creatures like cold ones or Helldrakes. They usually lead the Battle Beast units during the wars.

Equipment: Beastmaster wears light leather armor (save 6+) and carry a whip (hand weapon).

Special Rules: Beastmasters can lead Battle Beasts unit. You place them behind the unit. One beastmaster can control up to 8 creatures. If you plan to field bigger unit you have to have more beastmasters. If for some reason beastmaster leaves unit or dies all not controlled beasts go out of control. Roll d6 to check what they will do:                                                                        1   - attack the beastmaster or nearest model and fight to death.                      2-4- escape from battlefield. Just remove them.                                              5-6- became subjected to stupidity rule for one turn. After that roll again.

Battle beasts use Bestmasters Ld to all tests.                                                 Bestmastes can prevent unit of battle beasts from fleeing by beating them wit their whips. Unit suffers d3 wounds and you have to roll d6. On 1 unit goes out of control.                                                                                               Beastmasters can attempt to drive Battle Beasts frenzy by beating them with whips. Unit suffers d3 wounds and on 2+ goes out of control.

If beast unit will for some reason flee it automatically goes out of control and cannot be railed again.

• Beastlords: They train bigger creatures and monsters.

Equipment: Beastlords wear heavy armor whip, and a spear.                                Special rules: All friendly monsters in range of 12" from beastlord can use his leadership for all tests. Monsters in base contact with him or less than 3" away are not subjected to bound monster rule.
