If possible, a unit that includes a model with this special rule must issue a Challenge when Engaged in combat, and if an enemy player issues a Challenge to a unit including one or more models with special rule then a model with this special rule must accept. In addition, during any Assault phase where this model begins the Fight sub-phase Engaged in a Challenge, or enters into a Challenge with an enemy model, this model and all friendly models in the same combat gain the Fearless special rule until the end of that Assault phase.
Units with one or more models with the Fearless special rule automatically pass Pinning tests. Regroup tests and Morale checks.In addition, models with the Fearless special rule ignore the effects of the Fear special rule. However, units containing one or more models with the Fearless special rule cannot use any Reactions that grant a Cover Save, Armour Save or Invulnerable Save, and cannot choose to fail a Morale check due to the Our Weapons Are Useless special rule (see page 188). If a unit has become Pinned and then gains the Fearless special rule,all the effects of being Pinned are immediately cancelled.
While Fulgrim Transfigured is on the battlefield, models with this special rule gain the Preferred Enemy (Everything) special rule.
This rule is presented as Preferred Enemy (X) where X identifies a specific type of foe. If the special rule does no specify a type of foe, then everyone is a Preferred Enemy of the unit. A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule re-rolls failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 if attacking its Preferred Enemy. This applies both to Shooting Attacks and close combat attacks. If a model with this rule makes an attack against a mixed unit which has one or more models to which their Preferred Enemy rule pertains, but is not entirely composed of such models, it may still benefit from the effects of Preferred Enemy for all attacks made against that unit. For example, a model with Preferred Enemy (Independent Characters) may re-roll failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 against all of the models in a unit which has been joined by an Independent Character.
