Vermin Legionary

When calculating Combat Score, ignore the first two Health Point losses of Health Pools with Life is Cheap in each Round of Combat.
Note: the number of ignored Health Point losses is not affected by the amount of Health Pools.
Units containing Life is Cheap that are both Steady and Solid get +2 Discipline when taking Break Tests.

A model with Shield is considered to be using a Shield at all times, except during the Melee Phase if it is using a Two-Handed Melee Weapon.
A model using a Shield gains +1 Arm.
In addition, any Height 1-3 model using a Hand Weapon while using a Shield gains Parry.
Note: Shield provides no benefit against Melee Attacks when using a Two-Handed Melee Weapon .
Remember that since Shield (and parry) provide modifiers to Defensive Characteristics, their effects do not apply to a Character on a mount that has its own Defensive Skill or Armour.

While the unit has a Standard Bearer and the General is on the Battlefield, it:
  • Gains Fight in Extra Rank.
  • May reroll a failed Command Test. If it chooses to do this, and still fails the test, the unit loses Standard Bearer, and you must remove one Rank-and-File model from the unit as a casualty (no saves allowed).

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.
