Bulky models count as a number of models equal to the value X in brackets after the rule’s name for the purposes of Transport Capacity and whether a given unit outnumbers another in combat. For example, a unit comprised of five models all of which have the Bulky (3) special rule, would count as 15 models when attempting to Embark on a Transport Vehicle or when deciding if they outnumber an enemy unit.
A model with this special rule may issue and accept Challenges as if it had the Character type. Note that this does not allow a model with this special rule to use any other special rules associated with the Character type.
Models with this special rule gain the following benefits in various situations that involve ‘Nemesis’ units (see the Nemesis unit entry below): • All models with this special rule gain +1 Attacks when locked in combat with a Nemesis Unit. • A unit composed entirely of models with this special rule gains an additional bonus of +1 to all Charge rolls made when all targets of the Charge are Nemesis Units. • When rolling to Hit while Engaged with a Nemesis unit, a model with this special rule will never need to roll better than 4+ to score a Hit – unless the Nemesis unit is composed entirely of models with the Primarch Unit Type, or the attacking model is in a Challenge with a model that has the Primarch Unit Type. Nemesis Units A ‘Nemesis’ unit is defined as any enemy unit that fulfils at least one of the following conditions: • The unit includes one or more models with at least one of the following Unit Types or Unit Sub-types: - Primarch, Dreadnought, Monstrous, Reinforced, Bombard, Daemon, Corrupted, Super-heavy, Unique or Knight. • The majority of models in the unit have a value of 5 or more in any one of the following Characteristics: - Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Wounds or Initiative. • The unit includes an enemy Warlord.
Relentless models can shoot with Heavy or Ordnance weapons, counting as Stationary, even if they moved in the previous Movement phase. They are also allowed to Charge in the same turn they fire Heavy, Ordnance, or Rapid Fire weapons.
When a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule takes Morale checks or Pinning tests, the unit ignore any negative Leadership modifiers. If a unit is both Fearless and Stubborn, the unit uses the rules for Fearless instead.
A model with thisspecial rule may only be included in an army that has the Loyalist Allegiance.
