Rule
Light Troops:

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.

Ensouled Statue:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Swiftstride:

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

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.

Lethal Strike:

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.

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
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.
