Ark of Ages

The model follows the rules for Attachable Models, with the following exceptions:
  • It can never perform Make Way moves (not even if it is also a Character).
  • Ranged Attacks and Special Attack allocated onto a unit with a War Platform joined to it can only target the War Platform if there are fewer than 5 Rank-and-File models (or fewer than 3 if they are of Height 3–5) in the unit. (If there are no Rank-and-File models in the unit, ignore this rule.)
  • Any given unit can never contain more than a single model with War Platform at a time. When the model is joined to a unit, its Mobility and Charge Speed is set to that of its unit, with the following exceptions:
  • If there are no Rank-and-File models from the unit in contact with the War Platform’s flank Facings (right and left side), the model must use its own Mobility and Charge Speed instead. Meaning that, if slower than the unit, the unit’s Mobility and Charge Speed are set to those of the War Platform.
  • The War Platform cannot use the unit’s Mobility and Charge Speed values when leaving the unit (including Charging out of it). Instead, it uses its own Mobility and Charge Speed.

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.

Learned Spells cast by friendly Wizards within 12" of one or more models with Sacred Ark gain +6" Range (Aura spells gain +3" Range instead).

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).

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.

The model’s Shooting Weapon always hits on a roll equal to or greater than its Aim.

If an attack with Lethal Strike wounds with a to-wound roll of ‘6’, its Armour Penetration is always 10, and Regeneration Saves cannot be taken against it.

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 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.
