Rule
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.

Autonomous:

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.

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.

Vanguard:

After Deployment, units entirely with Vanguard may perform a pre-game Reform, Advance, or March Move, called a Vanguard Move, with the following exceptions:
  • If a value X is given, the units Mobility is always X during the Vanguard Move otherwise use the units Mobility.
  • No model can move further than 12" during the Vanguard Move, regardless of its Mobility.
  • The unit cannot end the Vanguard Move within 6" of an enemy unit.
  • Attachable Models cannot leave a unit as part of the Vanguard Move. If both players have units entirely with Vanguard, they alternate moving their units one by one, starting with the unit the Defender has given Vanguard (3" Mob) to.
A unit that starts the game outside its own Deployment Zone cannot declare a Charge in the first Player Turn of the first Game Turn.

Swiftstride:

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

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.

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.

Unruly:

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

Regeneration:

Regeneration 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 Regeneration Special Save rolls, which can never be increased to rolls better than 3+. If the model does not have Regeneration, it instead gains Regeneration (7 X+). For example, a model without Regeneration that gains Regeneration (+2) will gain Regeneration (5+).
Note that Regeneration Saves cannot be taken against attacks with Flaming Attacks, nor against attacks with Lethal Strike that roll a ‘6’ to wound.

Attack Attribute
First Strike:

During its First Round of Combat, any model part with First Strike, or using a weapon with First Strike, gains the Rules and Characteristic modifiers stated in brackets.
For example, a model part with First Strike (+1 Str) gains +1 Str in its First Round of Combat.

Vampiric:

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.

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.
