Castellax Infernus Maniple

Models with the Bulky (X) Special Rule take up more space on Transport Models."
A Model with the Bulky (X) Special Rule does not use up 1 Point of Transport Capacity when it Embarks on a Model with the Transport Sub-Type. Instead it uses up a number of points of Transport Capacity equal to the value of X attached to the variant of the Bulky (X) possessed by that Model.

"A Model with this Special Rule can explode and cause Hits to nearby Models and Units."
Before a Model with the Explodes (X) Special Rule is Removed as a Casualty, the Controlling Player must roll a Dice. If the result of that roll equals or exceeds the value of X attached to this variant of the Explodes (X) Special Rule, the Model explodes. Every Unit with one or more models within 6" of an exploding Model suffers a number of Hits equal to the Base Wounds Characteristic of Base Hull Points Characteristic of the exploding Model. Each such Hit has a Strength of 8, an AP of '-', and a Damage of 1. Once all Hits caused by this Special Rule have been resolved, the Model with the Explodes (X) Special Rule is Removed as a Casualty as normal.

"A Model with the Firing Protocols (X) Special Rule may attack with more than one ranged Weapon."
A Model with the Firing Protocols (X) Special Rule that makes attacks as part of a Shooting Attack, may make attacks with a number of Weapons equal to the value of X attached to the specific variant of the Firing Protocols (X) Special Rule. The Model must have more than one Ranged Weapon to make use of this Special Rule and may not use the same Weapon more than once in the same Shooting Attack.

"Models with this Special Rule can make Volley Attacks with other Weapons."
The Controlling Player of a Model with this Special Rule treats all Ranged Weapons such a Model has that do not have any variant of the Heavy (X) Special Rule or Ordnance (X) Special Rule as having the Assault Trait.

"A Model with this Special Rule improves their Invulnerable Save against Shooting Attacks."
When the Controlling Player of a Model with this Special Rule chooses to make an Invulnerable Save for that Model against a wound generated by a Shooting Attack, that Invulnerable Save is improved by one step. For example, a Model with a 6+ Invulnerable Save Characteristic and this Special Rule that makes an Invulnerable saving throw against a wound inflicted by a Shooting Attack would have its Invulnerable Save Characteristic improved to a 5+ for that roll.

"A Unit that includes Models with this Special Rule scores fewer Victory Points for controlling Objectives, but can score Victory Points destroying enemy Units that hold Objectives."
A Unit that includes a majority of Models with the Vanguard (X) Special Rule may only ever score 1 Victory Point for Controlling an Objective, regardless of that Objective's value (see Core Missions in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness Rulebook). However, the Player that controls a Unit that includes a majority of Models with the Vanguard (X) Special Rule gains Victory Points equal to the value of the X in the Vanguard (X) Special Rule, in addition to any Victory Points scored for controlling an Objective, whenever either of the following two statuses are fulfilled:

- If an attack made for a Unit that includes a majority of Models with the Vanguard (X) Special Rule causes the last Model in an enemy Unit that is Controlling or Contesting an Objective to be Removed as a Casualty.

- If a Unit that includes a majority of Models with the Vanguard (X) Special Rule has at least one attack made for it in a Combat that results in one or more enemy Units that had at least one Model within 3"" of an Objective at the start of that Assault Phase either Falling Back from Combat or being Massacred.

Note that the Vanguard (X) Special Rule may only be used to score Victory Points once per Objective per Player Turn - no matter how many enemy Units were Controlling or Locked in Combat near that Objective.
