State Marksmen

A unit containing a model with this rule is referred to as a Support Unit.
Support Units within 8" of a Parent Unit gain Resolute.
During the opponent’s Charge Phase, Support Units may perform one of the following actions:
  • Supporting Fire: the Support Unit may perform an out of sequence Shooting Attack towards an enemy unit that has successfully performed a Charge Move against a friendly Parent Unit within 8".
Apply the normal rules for Shooting Attacks, ignoring the Parent Unit for Cover and Line of Sight purposes.
  • Counter Charge: after enemy units finish their Charge Moves, Support Units within 8" of a successfully charged friendly Parent Unit may choose one enemy unit that has Charged the Parent Unit and declare a Charge, applying the normal rules for Charging (Line of Sight, Front Arc, rolls for Charge Range, etc.).
A Support Unit that performs a Counter Charge is considered to have at most one Proper Rank for the purpose of inflicting Surrounded, with Duration: Round of Combat.

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

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.
