Adamus Assassin

"This Gambit allows an Adamus Assassin to Hit on a fixed Target Number in a Challenge and fight in a Strike Step in which it loses its last Wound."


While a Model with this Special Rule is engaged in a Challenge, its Controlling Player must select the following Gambit – any Special Rule or Gambit that would stop the Controlling Player from selecting this Gambit is ignored 
and has no effect:


Mirror-Form: If this Gambit is selected, Hit Tests made for this Model in the following Strike Step are always successful on a roll of 4+, regardless of the opposing Model’s Weapon Skill Characteristic. Additionally, if the Controlling Player does not have Challenge Advantage in the following Strike Step and this Model’s Wounds Characteristic is reduced to 0 or less, the Controlling Player may still make attacks for this Model in that Strike Step before it is removed as a Casualty.

"A Unit that includes any Models with this Special Rule cannot claim Objectives."
A Unit that includes any Models with this Special Rule cannot Control or Contest any Object Marker - this overrides any other Rule or Special Rule that may apply to the Unit regardless of the source of the Rule or effect.

"Models with the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule can deploy outside of their Deployment Zone." 
At the start of a Mission, when deploying Units, the Controlling Player of a Unit that is composed entirely of Models with the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule may choose to deploy that Unit outside of that Player’s Deployment Zone. That Unit may be deployed anywhere that is either in the Controlling Player’s Deployment Zone or outside of the Opposing Player’s Deployment Zone and is at least a number of inches equal to the highest value of X attached to any variant of the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule in that Unit away from any Enemy Model.

Units deployed using the Infiltrate (X) Special Rule are deployed at the same time as other Units under a Player’s control, unless the specific Rules of a given Mission state otherwise. The Infiltrate (X) Special Rule only has an effect when deploying Units before the start of the First Turn of a Battle, and Units deploying on the Battlefield after the First Turn has begun gain no benefit from this Special Rule. A Unit that is deployed outside of the Controlling Player’s Deployment Zone by means of this Special Rule may not have a Charge declared for in the Firs Battle Turn.

"The Move Through Cover Special Rule allows the penalties of terrain to be ignored."
A Unit that includes at least one Model with the Move Through Cover Special Rule ignores the effects of Difficult Terrain and Dangerous Terrain. If called upon to take a Dangerous Terrain Test then such a Unit is assumed to automatically pass without any Dice being rolled.

"Shrouded (X) is a Damage Mitigation Test that may be taken in addition to a Saving Throw."
A model with the Shrouded (X) Special Rule gains a Shrouded Damage Mitigation Test that may be used in Step 9 of the Shooting Attack process to discard Wounds allocated to the Model. A Damage Mitigation Test may be made after and in addition to a Saving Throw. The Target Number for a Shrouded Damage Mitigation Test is the value of X attached to the specific variant of the Special Rule. A Shrouded Damage Mitigation Test may not be made against wounds inflicted by a Melee Weapon.

Unless it is the closest enemy Model, Shooting Attacks which target a Model with this Special Rule are always made as Snap Shots.


When a Unit that includes only Models with this Special Rule is the target of a Shooting Attack, all attacks made as part of that Shooting Attack must be made as Snap Shots, unless that Unit is the closest enemy Unit to the Unit making the Shooting Attack. This Special Rule has no effect on Volley Attacks and attacks made with the Precision (X) Special Rule
