Scout After both sides have deployed (including Infiltrators), but before the first player begins their first turn, a unit containing at least one model with this special rule can choose to redeploy. If the unit is Infantry, Artillery, Dreadnought or Automata, each model can redeploy anywhere entirely within 6" of its current position. If it is any other Unit Type, each model can instead redeploy anywhere entirely within 12" of its current position. During this redeployment, Scouts can move outside the owning player’s Deployment Zone, but must remain more than 9" away from any enemy unit. A unit that makes a Scout redeployment cannot Charge in the first Game Turn. A unit cannot Embark or Disembark as part of a Scout redeployment.
If both sides have Scouts, roll off; the winner decides who redeploys first. Then alternate redeploying Scout units one at a time. If a unit with this special rule is deployed inside a Dedicated Transport, it confers the Scout special rule to the Transport (though a Disembarkation cannot be performed as part of the redeployment). Note that a Transport with this special rule does not lose it if a unit without this special rule is Embarked upon it. Having Scout also confers the Outflank special rule to units of Scouts that are kept as Reserves (see page 309).
Infiltrate and Scout
If a unit has both the Infiltrate and Scout special rules, that unit can deploy as per the Infiltrate special rule and then redeploy as per the Scout special rule.

After a Shooting Attack has been resolved against a unit composed entirely of models with this special rule, if that unit is not Falling Back, its controlling player can choose for it to become Stupefied. If a unit becomes Stupefied while Pinned or affected by the Blind or Concussive (X) special rules, it ignores the effects of these while Stupefied.
Stupefied
A unit that is Stupefied can only fire Snap Shots and cannot make Reactions in any Phase. If a unit that is Stupefied has a Charge declared for it, then that Charge is always considered to be Disordered. Furthermore, whilst Stupefied, all models in that unit increase their Strength Characteristic by +1 and when a model in a Stupefied unit suffers an unsaved Wound, it can make a special Stupefied roll to ignore it. Stupefied rolls may not be taken against attacks that have the Instant Death special rule. Roll a D6 each time an unsaved Wound is suffered. On a 6+, the unsaved Wound is ignored. On any other result the Wound is applied as normal. Add 1 to Stupefied rolls made for units which have the Fearless special rule. A Stupefied roll is a Damage Mitigation roll – any model may make only a single Damage Mitigation roll of any type for any given Wound.
At the end of its controlling player’s following turn, the unit is no longer Stupefied. Whilst it is Stupefied, a unit does not take further Morale checks in the Movement phase or Shooting phase and cannot be Pinned. If the unit is forced to move, for example, if it has to Fall Back, it is no longer Stupefied. If assaulted, the unit will fight as usual, but enemy units do not receive the Initiative penalty for having Charged a unit through Difficult Terrain, even if the Stupefied unit is in Difficult Terrain. If a unit becomes Stupefied while making a Charge, then that Charge continues as normal, but is automatically counted as Disordered. Units that are locked in combat can be Stupefied, but take Morale checks in the Assault phase as normal and if forced to Fall Back are no longer Stupefied.
