Discipline Master

If a unit that includes a model with this special rule fails a Morale check, a re-roll can be made – if this is done, the unit suffers D3 Wounds at AP -. These Wounds are allocated by the unit’s controlling player, but may not be inflicted on Independent Characters, the Discipline Master themselves or Militia Medicae who have joined the unit.

An Imperialis Militia Discipline Master Cadre is selected like any other unit, using up a single Force Organisation slot and bought in the same manner. However, before the first turn begins and any models are deployed to the battlefield, all models in an Imperialis Militia Discipline Master Cadre must be assigned to another unit from the same Detachment of the army they were selected as part of. Discipline Masters may only be assigned to units composed entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type and Militia Unit Sub-type, unless upgraded to a Mounted Discipline Master, in which case that model must be assigned to an Imperialis Militia Cavalry Squad. No more than one Discipline Master may be assigned to any given unit. Once assigned to a unit, the Discipline Master is considered part of that unit and may not leave it under any circumstances – if that unit is removed as a casualty then the Discipline Master is removed as well. In battles using Victory points, no Victory points are ever scored for removing a Discipline Master as a casualty. When assigned to a unit, a Discipline Master gains all of the special rules (with the exception of those that specifically forbid it, such as the Bitter Duty special rule) and Unit Sub-types listed for the unit to which it is attached, but does not gain access to any additional Wargear options available to the unit to which it is assigned.

A unit with this special rule may not be chosen as a compulsory choice for the army as part of the Force Organisation chart.

When a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved Wound, it can make a special Feel No Pain roll to avoid being Wounded (this is a special Saving Throw which is made after unsaved Wounds are suffered).
Feel No Pain rolls may not be taken against unsaved Wounds that have the Instant Death special rule.
Roll a D6 each time an unsaved Wound is suffered. On a result that is equal to or greater than the value in brackets, the unsaved Wound is discounted - treat it as having been saved. On any other result the Wound is taken as normal.
For example, a unit with the special rule Feel No Pain (5+) would need to score a 5 or 6 in order to discount a Wound inflicted upon it.
This is a Damage Mitigation roll - any model may make only a single Damage Mitigation roll of any type for any given Wound (see page 174).

A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule cannot Run, perform Sweeping Advances or make Reactions. However, models with this special rule can make Shooting Attacks with Heavy and 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.

If a model with the Battlesmith (X) special rule is in base contact with, or Embarked upon, one or more damaged Vehicles, Dreadnoughts or Automata during the Shooting phase, they can attempt to repair one of them instead of firing a weapon. Roll a D6. If the result is equal to or more than the value listed in brackets as part of this rule then one of the following options may be applied to any one Vehicle, Dreadnought or Automata the model is in base contact with or Embarked upon:
• Restore a lost Hull Point.
• Restore a lost Wound.
• Repair a Weapon Destroyed result.
• Repair an Immobilised result.
If a Weapon Destroyed result is repaired, that weapon can be fired in the following Shooting phase. The Battlesmith cannot use this ability if they are Pinned or Falling Back.

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.

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.

A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule rolls an extra dice when making Sweeping Advances and discards the lowest scoring dice before determining the result.

This rule is presented as Hatred (X) where X identifies a specific type of foe. If the special rule does not specify a type of foe, then the unit has Hatred against everyone. This can refer to a Faction or a specific unit. For example, Hatred (Mechanicum) means any model of the Mechanicum Faction, whilst Hatred (Thallax) means only Thallax. A model striking a Hated foe in close combat re-rolls all failed To Hit rolls during the first round of each close combat.

The effects of this special rule only apply when a unit that has it begins an Assault phase not locked in combat and then either Charges or is Charged by an enemy unit. If an enemy unit Charges this unit when it is already locked in combat then that does count as a new ‘first’ turn of combat for the effects of Hatred.

All enemy models within 12" of a model with this special rule must reduce their Leadership by the value in brackets after the special rule when taking any Morale checks. Regroup or Pinning tests. For example, a unit with the special rule Fear (2) would reduce the Leadership of all enemy models within 12" by 2
Enemy units that are locked in combat are only affected by this modifier if they are locked in combat with the unit that causes Fear. This modifier is not cumulative, and any given unit can only be affected by a single instance of the Fear special rule at a time.This will always be the highest single modifier among those applicable.

A model that causes Fear is not itself immune to Fear and will still suffer a penalty to its Leadership if within range of an enemy unit that has the Fear special rule.

In a turn in which a model with this special rule Charges into combat, it adds a bonus to its Strength Characteristic until the end of the Assault phase.The bonus added to the model's Strength is equal to the value in brackets after the special rule, for example a model with FuriousCharge (2) adds a bonus of +2 to its Strength.
A model that has made a Disordered Charge that turn receives no benefit from Furious Charge (sec page 182).
