VIII: Night Lords

This Advanced Reaction is available only to units composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Night Lords) special rule. Unlike Core Reactions, Advanced Reactions are activated in unique and specific circumstances, as noted in their descriptions, and can often have game changing effects. Advanced Reactions use up points of a Reactive player’s Reaction Allotment as normal and obey all other restrictions placed upon Reactions, unless it is specifically noted otherwise in their description.   The Better Part of Valour – This Advanced Reaction may be made once per battle during the Assault phase when any enemy unit declares a Charge targeting a friendly unit under the Reactive player’s control with the Legiones Astartes (Night Lords) special rule. Before the Charge is resolved the target unit Falls Back, as if it had failed a Morale check, but immediately Regroups once that move is completed and suffers none of the usual restrictions for a unit that has Regrouped and may Move, Run, Charge and make Shooting Attacks as normal. If this movement causes the target unit to Move more than 12" from, or out of sight of, the Charging unit then the Active player may re-direct the Charge to target another enemy unit within range, but if the target unit remains within 12" and within line of sight of the Charging unit, the target unit must attempt the original Charge. If the Fall Back caused by this Reaction forces the Reacting unit to reach the edge of the battlefield, it immediately stops moving and Regroups, but suffers none of the usual restrictions for a unit that has Regrouped and may Move, Run, Charge and make Shooting Attacks as normal.
