Rule
Ghost Step: A unit entirely with Ghost Step ignores Terrain Features and Open Terrain when moving. The unit must follow the Unit Spacing rule at the end of its move. A Health Pool with Ghost Step never fulfils the criteria for which models must take Dangerous Terrain Tests due to Terrain Features (but still needs to take Dangerous Terrain Tests from other sources than Terrain Features, such as when making a Flee Move through an enemy unit). If the unit ends a move inside Impassable Terrain, backtrack the move to the unit’s last valid position, unless as part of a Flee Move, in which case the standard Flee Moves rules apply.
Swiftstride: Rolls for Charge Range, Flee Distance and Pursue Distance by units entirely with Swiftstride gain Maximised.

Attack Attribute
Magical Attacks: This Attack Attribute does not confer any direct effects, but instead interacts with other rules, such as Aegis (X, against Magical Attacks).

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.
