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.
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.
If a model with this special rule ends its Charge Move in base or hull contact with an enemy model, it makes a number of additional attacks equal to the value in brackets listed as part of this special rule.These attacks hit automatically and are resolved at the models unmodified Strength with AP-. These attacks do not benefit from any of the model's special rules (such as Furious Charge, Rending, etc.).These attacks are resolved during the Fight sub-phase at Initiative step 10 but do not grant the model an additional Pile-in Move. If a model with this special rule Charges a Vehicle of any kind or a Building, the hits are resolved against the Armour Value of the Facing the charging model is touching. If the model is in contact with two or more Facings, the player controlling the target model chooses a Facing upon which the attacks are resolved. If a model with this special rule Charges a Building or Vehicle that is a Transport, the hits are resolved against the Building or Vehicle, not the unit Embarked within the Building or Vehicle.
