Rule
Insignificant:

Units entirely with Insignificant do not cause Panic Tests on units not containing Insignificant when making Flee Moves through them.

Ambush:

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.

Vanguard:

After Deployment, units entirely with Vanguard may perform a pre-game Reform, Advance, or March Move, called a Vanguard Move, with the following exceptions:
  • If a value X is given, the units Mobility is always X during the Vanguard Move otherwise use the units Mobility.
  • No model can move further than 12" during the Vanguard Move, regardless of its Mobility.
  • The unit cannot end the Vanguard Move within 6" of an enemy unit.
  • Attachable Models cannot leave a unit as part of the Vanguard Move. If both players have units entirely with Vanguard, they alternate moving their units one by one, starting with the unit the Defender has given Vanguard (3" Mob) to.
A unit that starts the game outside its own Deployment Zone cannot declare a Charge in the first Player Turn of the first Game Turn.

Strider:

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.

Pack Tactics:

Charge Range rolls made towards an enemy unit’s Flank or Rear Facing are Maximised.

Swiftstride:

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

Unruly:

Command Tests taken by a unit containing this rule gain Maximised.

Melee Weapon
Innate Weapons:

During Combat Choices a model part can only choose Innate Weapons if it has no other options.
All model parts with Beast, Construct, or Mount come equipped with Innate Weapons as their default equipment and cannot lose them.
