Panic (X) "Weapons and other attacks that have the Panic (X) Special Rule have a chance of inflicting the Routed Status on the Target Unit."
If a Shooting Attack made for a Weapon or Model with this Special Rule inflicts one or more wounds on a Target Unit, regardless of whether any Damage is inflicted, that Target Unit must make a Leadership Check in the Morale Sub-Phase of the same Player Turn. If this Check is failed then all Models in the Unit gain the Routed Status, if the Check is passed then there is no further effect. The value of X attached to this Special Rule is applied as a negative modifier to the Leadership Characteristics of Models in the Target Unit when making Checks caused by an attack with this Special Rule. If the attack includes multiple Weapons with different variations of this Special Rule the modifiers do not stack - use only the greatest modifier.
Blast (X) "Attacks made with the Blast (X) Special Rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused."
When making attacks with a Weapon that has the Blast (X) Special Rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack. The Player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one model in the Target Unit. Once the blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each Model from the Target Unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful.
*Hits on Other Units*
If any Models form Units other than the Target Unit are fully or partially covered by the Blast Marker, then a new Fire Group must be created for those Hits and set to one side. Continue resolving the Shooting Attack on the original Target Unit, and once that Shooting Attack has been completely resolved begin a new Shooting Attack to resolve those additional Fire Groups generated for Units other than the original Target Unit.
If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then no Hits are inflicted and the Player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker (see the Rules for Scatter in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook). Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, one Hit is inflicted on a Unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.
Limited (X) "A Weapon with the Limited (X) Special Rule can only be used to attack a limited number of times per Battle."
A Weapon with the Limited (X) Special Rule may only be used to make attacks as part of a Shooting Attack or Combat a number of times equal to the value of X attached to the specific variant of the Special Rule. Each time is used to make attacks, the Firepower Characteristic or Attacks Modifier Characteristic of the Weapon not modified by this Special Rule, only the number of times it may be selected in a given Battle.
