Vampire Spawn

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Units containing Frenzy must always choose to Pursue (including Overrun) when able to.

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

Command Tests taken by a unit containing this rule gain Maximised.

At the end of each Melee Phase, check and resolve the following effects for all models with Vampiric:
  • Character (or Attachable Model): if at least one attack with Vampiric made by the Character (or Attachable Model) caused any HP loss against enemy units, the model with Vampiric can make a single Vampiric roll.
If successful, the model Recovers a single HP.
  • Rank-and-File model: if at least one attack with Vampiric made by a Rank-and-File model in the unit caused any HP loss against enemy units, the unit can make a single Vampiric roll.
If successful, the units Rank-and-File Health Pool Raises a single HP. A Vampiric roll is successful if the D6 scores X+, where X is the number stated within brackets. If a unit or Character has multiple model parts with this Attack Attribute that each caused a HP loss, use the best value.

If the attack hits with a to-hit roll of ‘6’, it causes one additional hit (usually this means it causes two hits instead of one). This additional hit is allocated towards the same target.

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.
