Rule
Ensouled Statue:

Units entirely with Ensouled Statue reduce by 1 the number of HP lost due to Dust to Dust and Unstable.

Fly:

Units entirely with Fly ignore Terrain Features, Open Terrain and other units during Move Manoeuvres and Charge Moves.
The unit must follow the Unit Spacing rule at the end of any of its moves, and Terrain Features and Open Terrain from which the model starts or ends its move still affect it.
The charged unit is not ignored during a Charge Move, and there must be room for the unit’s Front Facing to be placed in contact with the charged unit before the Initial Align Move.

Autonomous:

Units entirely with Autonomous may perform March Moves as normal despite being Undead, even when outside the range of the Commanding Presence of any friendly models.

Fearless:

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.

Undead:

Units containing Undead can perform March Moves only if they benefit from a friendly model’s Commanding Presence. For this purpose, any Reform Move exceeding a unit’s Mobility count as a March Move.
Moreover, models with Undead have an additional characteristic called Resurrect (Rsr) on their statline, which can interact with some other game effects.

Unstable:

Whenever a unit entirely with Unstable would take a Break Test, it suffers instead a number of Health Point losses equal to the amount by which the Combat was lost (with no saves of any kind allowed). These Health Point losses are first allocated towards Rank-and-File models, and once enough Health Points losses are suffered to remove all Rank-and-File models, any remaining Health Point losses are allocated by the owner towards Attachable Models, as evenly as possible. Those Health Point losses can be reduced in the following ways:
  • If the unit contains Stubborn, the Health Point losses are halved, rounding fractions up.
  • If the unit is affected by Beacon of Courage, the Health Point losses are reduced by 1.
  • If the unit is Steady while affected by Beacon of Courage, the Health Point losses are reduced by an additional 1.
  • If the unit is Solid while affected by Beacon of Courage, the Health Point losses are reduced by an additional 1. I.e. a unit that is affected by Beacon of Courage while also being Steadfast reduces its Health Point losses by a total of 3.
Attachable Models with Unstable can only join units containing Unstable, and units containing Unstable can only be joined by Attachable Models with Unstable.

Swiftstride:

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

Terror:

When a unit containing Terror declares a Charge in the Charge Phase, the target must take a Panic Test. If the test is failed, the unit must choose Flee! as its Charge Reaction if allowed to do so (e.g. not already Engaged in Combat, etc.).
Units containing Terror are themselves immune to the effects of Terror.

Solitary:

Units containing Solitary can never join other units, and can never be joined by other models.
Note: if a model has both Solitary and Attached, it cannot be Deployed and is therefore considered a casualty.

Attack Attribute
Poison Attacks:

Whenever an attack with Poison Attacks hits with a to-hit roll of ‘6’, it wounds automatically (no to-wound roll needed).
If the attack has two or more instances of Poison Attacks, it wounds automatically on a successful to-hit roll of ‘5’ or ‘6’ instead.
If the attack is turned into more than one hit (e.g. a hit with Area Attack or Fury), only a single hit, chosen by the attacker, wounds automatically. All other hits must roll to wound as normal.

Multiple Wounds:

Health Point losses caused by the attack are multiplied into the value given in brackets (X). If the value is a dice, roll one dice for each unsaved wound from an attack with Multiple Wounds.
The number of Health Point losses that the attack is multiplied into can never be higher than the Health Points Characteristic of the target (excluding Health Points lost previously in the battle).
For example, if an attack with Multiple Wounds (D6) wounds a unit of Trolls (HP 3) and rolls a ‘5’ for the multiplier, the number of Health Points lost is reduced to 3, even if the Troll unit has already lost one or two Health Points previously in battle.

Stomp Attack:

A model part with Stomp Attack can make a Special Attack which is resolved at Agility Step 0, can only be allocated towards a Health Pool of Height 0–1, and inflicts X hits, using the model part’s Strength, Armour Penetration and Attack Attributes, but not Weapons. If more than one model part of a combined model has Stomp Attack, only a single model part (chosen by the model’s owner) can perform its Stomp Attack in each Round of Combat.

Melee Weapon
Great Weapon:

+2 Str, +2 AP, always Agi 0. Two-Handed

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.
