Ant, Giant
Giant Ants are common on the
southern Kardalok continent, where
intelligent, humanoid Ant-folk also
exist. However, giant ants can be
encountered all over Norindaal. In
general, they behave like their
normal-sized counterparts, they can
create anthills the size of human
towns. Like normal ants, many
different species exist. Communities
are divided into several specific roles,
each with its own special abilities.
Queens lay eggs and rule over the
anthill. The Queens of some species
assist in foraging and may be thus
encountered out of their anthills.
Scouts wander around foraging
and trailblazing. They do so by
cutting the vegetation with their
powerful pincers and leaving
pheromone trails for other ants to
follow. For this reason, scouts are the
most commonly encountered giant
ants. The pheromone trails are
undetectable to humans but some
alchemists
have
devised
a
compound that makes them visible
and can delete them.
Some species have a venomous
sting. Fire ants can inject a venom
that causes muscle pain and
temporary paralysis. Others can
spray formic acid that can
temporarily blind targets.
Carpenter ants live in forests and
use large trees as building material
for their anthills. They are
considered a scourge by sylvan
creatures because they can
destroy large areas of woods in a
matter of days. Carpenter ants are able
to move fast through vegetation.
All ants can burrow, although not so
fast to count as the Burrowing Trait in
game terms.
Slave Ants are ants from other
communities that are captured and
used as foot soldiers or workers. They
must be recognizable (use models of
a different color or mark them). In
game terms, they have the Enslaved
Trait. If only slave ants remain in play,
they break and the warband
automatically loses the game.
Some scholars think that giant
ants were created by Gro Khair,
the god of hunger, who took
regular ants and fed them with
the blood of Giants and Titans.
This could also explain why the
Orgas (ogres), a race created by
Gro Khair to compete with
humans
and
elves,
are
sometimes found raiding human
settlements in their company.
In the Orgas pictographic
language, a stylized mouth with
six legs painted on a rock or on
tree bark indicates the presence
of giant ant communities.

New Traits
Acid Spray (2 pts)
The model can spray acid once per
game, at 1 x Short range. The acid has
no effect on Artificial, Undead, or
Incorporeal foes. On Swarms, it works
as a C3 ranged attack. On other
targets, it counts as a C2 attack and
any target suffering a Recoil or
Knocked Prone effect must also test Q
on 1d6 or be sprayed in the eyes. A
sprayed model may not perform any
action requiring LoS until he spends
one action to clean his eyes. Block
Traits work normally against Acid
Spray.

Scenario 1:
A giant ant community has grown dangerously large. The local
authorities hire adventurers to destroy the pheromone “pathways” created by
scout ants and to kill any ants that stray into civilized territories. A party of
adventurers (400 points from any human or humanoid roster) is hired by the
local alchemists’ guild. One character of the player’s choice is armed with a
chemical spray to wipe out the ants’ trails. The pathways are marked on the
gaming board using a strip of fabric or paper. Divide them into 5 sections. The
character can break up the pathway as a 2-action Task per section. The
character must reach the mid-point of a section in order to commence spraying
it. When the character completes the Task, remove the section. The character
performing the spraying may not use ranged weapons or two handed weapons
unless he drops the spray contraption, but he may fight normally with a hand
weapon in melee.
Giant Ants must prevent the pathways from being erased. Scout Ants may
perform a Task to lay down a new pathway section (a 3-Action Task per section).
Deployment:
Adventurers deploy first, on one baseline of their choice. Ants
are deployed anywhere on the table, but not closer than 1 x Long to any
adventurer.
Victory Conditions:
After 15 turns, the game ends. Each side makes 3 victory
point per section erased (the adventurers) or still in play (the ants), plus 1 point
per enemy destroyed or moved off the table. The side with more victory points
is the winner and receives one upgrade (for the ants, it means adding one
Worker model).
