Rule
Disciplined:

Command Tests taken by a unit containing Disciplined benefit from Minimised.

Exclusive:

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).

Attached:

This model must be Deployed inside a unit containing a Rank-and-File model, and cannot voluntarily leave its unit.

Darrmu:

If the General is a Darrmu, apply the following changes to Army List creation:
  • Max. 10% of the Army Points may be spent on units entirely with Orc.
  • The Rarity and Duplication Limits Max. X items/army (i.e. max. X units/army, max. X models/army, and ) in the unit profiles of certain units entirely with Goblin are modified, as indicated by D X.
For example, Uncommon (D Regular) means that if the General is a Darrmu, the Rarity becomes Regular, whereas max. 1 (D 2) units/army means that if the General is a Darrmu, the Duplication Limit becomes max. 2 units/army.

Feigned Flight:

A unit entirely with Feigned Flight automatically passes any Rally Test it takes after voluntarily becoming Shaken.
In addition, models with Fearless and Feigned Flight ignore Fearless for the purposes of choosing 'Flee!' as a Charge reaction. I.e. if every model with Fearless in a (combined) unit has Feigned Flight, the unit can 'Flee!'.

Goblin Cunning:

Immediately before taking a Courage Test, that is not automatically passed, any unit consisting entirely of models with Goblin Cunning may choose to fail the Courage Test instead of rolling it.

General:

A model with this rule is always the General.
Note: this means than only one model with General can be included in an Army List.

Goblin Gardens:

Duration: Permanent.
During Pre-game Selections, you may choose any Terrain (X) from: Field, Forest, Ruins, or Water Terrain.
All Terrain Features following the rules for X are Dangerous Terrain (6+) instead of any other instance of Dangerous Terrain.
In addition, friendly models with Goblin gain Strider (X).

Stubborn:

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).

Beastie Whisperer:

Immediately before choosing a unit to join using the Hidden rule, the model may gain a Beastie mount without any upgrade for free. If the model joins a unit with at least one Rank-and-File model with Creepy-Crawlies, its mount also gains Creepy-Crawlies.

Hit and Run:

A unit entirely with Hit and Run in contact with an enemy unit may choose to voluntarily become “Broken” at the start of Take Break Tests (Round of Combat, 3.C). In that case, the unit is considered to have failed a Break Test and is ignored for the rest of step 3.C.
If the unit was on the winning side of the Round of Combat, the enemy cannot Pursue.
Note: this means units with Supernal or Unstable suffer no Health Point loss if they voluntarily become “Broken”.

Brilliant Agitator:

The Splendid Leader counts as a Goblin Demagogue for the purpose of War Cry!

Still Kickin':

At the beginning of any Player Turn after the Splendid Leader has been removed as a casualty, you can Summon a new Splendid Leader using the Hidden rule, with the following exceptions: you can select whether the new Splendid Leader will be mounted on a Beastie, the Splendid Palanquin or a Beastie Chariot before choosing the unit he appears in.
If the Splendid Palanquin is selected, ignore the Base Size limitation and select six Rank-and-File models in the unit to be joined instead of a single model. After choosing an eligible unit, remove the six Rank-and-File models so that the Splendid Leader is placed in the Front Rank, where the removed models were positioned.

Aegis:

Aegis is a Special Save, with a value indicated in brackets (X).
If X is given as a modifier and with a maximum value (e.g. +2), the model gains this as a modifier to all its Aegis Special Save rolls, which can never be increased to rolls better than 3+. If the model does not have Aegis, it instead gains Aegis (7 X+). For example, a model without Aegis that gains Aegis (+2) will gain Aegis (5+).
Note that Aegis Saves cannot be taken against attacks with Divine Attacks.

Melee Weapon
Lance:

Devastating Charge (+2 Str, +2 AP, +1 Agi)
Only models with Centauroid or Mount can use a Lance.

Hand Weapon:

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.
