Ghaa!, THE Quiet Muzzle

Any unit entirely with Ambush may choose to not be Deployed normally, but to be placed in Ambush by simply not being placed on the Battlefield during Deployment. A unit placed in Ambush will arrive on the Battlefield later during the game.
From your Player Turn 2 and onwards, roll a D6 for each unit placed in Ambush at the start of the Movement Phase: every unit that rolls a 3+ will arrive on the Battlefield if possible.
During your Player Turn 5 and 6, this roll is always considered to have rolled a 3+.
When a unit arrives on the Battlefield, choose a point as specified by X. If no suitable point is available where the unit can be placed on the Battlefield, the unit cannot arrive on the Battlefield this turn.
Deploy each unit arriving on the Battlefield with at least three of its four corners within 6" from the chosen point in any valid formation following the Unit Spacing rule.
There must be no other units or Impassable Terrain directly located between any point on the Unit Boundary and the chosen point. See the figure below for examples.
Ambushing units count as having performed an Advance Move when they arrive on the Battlefield, and cannot perform any Move in the same Phase.
If an Ambushing unit does not arrive on the Battlefield by the end of the game, it is removed as a casualty.
An Attachable Models placed in Ambush can be Deployed joined to a unit placed in Ambush with the same X value, following the usual restrictions. It may choose a unit to be joined to during each of your Player Turns, before rolling to see if your Ambushing units arrive on the Battlefield.
Make a single dice roll for the Combined Unit.
Note: Attached has no effect on this; the choice of a unit to be Deployed in Ambush in may change each turn.

A unit arriving on the Battlefield in Game Turn 6 loses Scoring. Deploying Ambushing units.In these examples, the unit has Ambush (Battlefield Edge). The unit with the yellow check mark is placed in a valid position, while the two units with red crosses are not: the left one because there is an Impassable Terrain Feature between the Unit Boundary and the chosen point, and the right one because parts of the unit are more than 6" away from the chosen point.

A unit containing Fearless automatically passes Panic Tests, cannot choose Flee! as a Charge Reaction (unless it is already Shaken, or the entire unit has Feigned Flight).
In addition it ignores the effects of Horror.

Units containing Frenzy must always choose to Pursue (including Overrun) when able to.

A unit entirely with Light Troops can perform Reform Move Manoeuvres up to twice its Mobility (instead of the normal half Mobility).
If, while doing a Reform Move Manoeuvre, its centre moves further than its Mobility, the move is considered a March Move for the purpose of rules triggered due to Marching (e.g. Dangerous Terrain Test and, if Undead, being restricted from performing a March Move, etc.).
For the purpose of shooting, this is still a Reform Move. I.e. the unit can shoot if moving further than its Mobility.
Note: this rule has no effect on other Move Manoeuvres, including March Moves.
A unit containing Light Troops is always considered to have zero Proper Ranks; ignore Attachable Models with Light Troops joined to a unit for this purpose, unless the unit consists of only Attachable Models.

This rule limits which units an Attachable Model is allowed to join.
  • Attachable Models with Exclusive (X) can only join units containing X.
  • Non-Attachable Models with Exclusive (X) can only be joined by Attachable Models with X.
  • If a unit has multiple instances of Exclusive, all criteria must be fulfilled together. The specific criteria for X can be unit names, Model Rules, Properties, upgrades, etc.
If a model has both Exclusive and Attached, apply all requirements from both rules (remember that a model that cannot be Deployed is considered a casualty).

If Strider is associated with a specific type of Terrain, which would be indicated in brackets (X). In such cases, Strider only affects the unit’s interaction with this Terrain Feature.
Models with Strider may ignore rules associated with Terrain Features, with the following exceptions:
  • They cannot ignore any rule affecting Line of Sight or Cover.
  • They cannot ignore any rule associated with Weakness.
  • They cannot ignore the Impassable rule of Impassable Terrain. A Health Pool with Strider never fulfils the criteria for which models must take Dangerous Terrain Tests due to the associated Terrain Feature (but still needs to take Dangerous Terrain Tests from other sources, such as Terrain Features not associated with its Strider rule, or when making a Flee Move through an enemy unit).
In addition, if the unit contains a Rank-and-File model with Strider, it ignores the Disruptive rule of any Terrain Feature associated to its Strider rule.

During Pre-game Selections, select either :
  • Attached and Teach by Example
  • Sleeper, Solitary, and Ambush (Field, Forest, Water Terrain).

Rolls for Charge Range, Flee Distance and Pursue Distance by units entirely with Swiftstride gain Maximised.

When a unit containing Stubborn loses a Round of Combat, halve the penalty to its Discipline from the Combat Score difference, rounding fractions up (i.e. towards a larger modifier).
If the unit is also Steady, the modifier is first set to no smaller than −2 (following the Steady rules), and then halved, rounding up, to −1.
If the unit is Unstable, the Health Point losses due to Unstable are halved, rounding fractions up (i.e. towards more Health Point losses).

A unit entirely with this rule automatically passes its Command Tests for Combat Reform, and automatically fails its Command Tests for Redirecting Charges.

Attacks allocated against the model’s Health Pool must reroll successful to-wound rolls.
If Resistance is associated with an Attack Attribute, Property or Rule in brackets (X), then it only applies against attacks with that Attack Attribute or made by a model with that Property or Rule.

If the attack hits with a to-hit roll of ‘6’, it causes one additional hit (usually this means it causes two hits instead of one). This additional hit is allocated towards the same target.

If Charging, the model part can make a Special Attack which is resolved at Agility Step 10, and inflicts X hits, using the model part’s Strength, Armour Penetration, and Attack Attributes, but not Weapons.
Remember that attacks multiplied into several hits are allocated after establishing how many hits are scored (i.e. after the attack has hit). If more than one model part of a combined model has Impact Hits, only a single model part (chosen by the model’s owner) can perform its Impact Hits in a Round of Combat.

During Combat Choices, each unit containing this Attack Attribute must take a Courage Test.
If the test is passed, all model parts with Primal Instinct in the unit gain Hatred, with Duration: Round of Combat.

An attack with Zeal must reroll failed to-wound rolls.

During Combat Choices a model part can only choose a Hand Weapon if it has no other options, or is a Weapon Master.
Models with a Shield using a Hand Weapon gain Parry.
All model parts without Innate Weapons come equipped with a Hand Weapon as their default equipment and cannot lose it.
