Sigismund and any unit he joins gains a bonus of +2 to all Charge Distances and Sweeping Advance rolls made for the unit. In addition, if Sigismund is present in any Detachment then that Detachment may take Templar Brethren squads as Troops choices.
When a Challenge is issued in any combat that includes Sigismund, Sigismund’s controlling player must always accept that Challenge with Sigismund – if the opposing player does not issue a Challenge then Sigismund’s controlling player must do so and must nominate Sigismund to fight in that Challenge. Additionally, when fighting in a Challenge, successful Invulnerable Saves taken against Sigismund’s attacks must be re-rolled.
Models with the Adamantium Will special rule gain an Invulnerable Save against any Wound inflicted by a weapon with the Force or Psychic Focus special rules and Wounds inflicted by Perils of the Warp – the value of this Save is indicated in brackets after the rule. For example, a model with Adamantium Will (5+) gains a 5+ Invulnerable Save against any Wound inflicted by a weapon with the Force or Psychic Focus special rules and Wounds inflicted by Perils of the Warp. If, for any reason, the Adamantium Will special rule is presented without a value in brackets then consider the rule to be Adamantium Will (5+).
If a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved Wound from an attack that inflicts Instant Death, it only reduces its Wounds by 1, instead of automatically reducing its Wounds to 0.
Units with one or more models with the Fearless special rule automatically pass Pinning tests. Regroup tests and Morale checks.In addition, models with the Fearless special rule ignore the effects of the Fear special rule. However, units containing one or more models with the Fearless special rule cannot use any Reactions that grant a Cover Save, Armour Save or Invulnerable Save, and cannot choose to fail a Morale check due to the Our Weapons Are Useless special rule (see page 188). If a unit has become Pinned and then gains the Fearless special rule,all the effects of being Pinned are immediately cancelled.
Discipline and Resolve: Models with this special rule gain a bonus of +1 to all To Hit rolls with any Auto weapon or Bolt weapon as part ofany Shooting Attack (including as part of any Reaction).
If a model with this special rule, or attacking with a weapon with this special rule, rolls equal to or higher than the value in brackets when making a To Hit roll as part of a melee attack, that hit is a ‘Precision Strike’. For example, if a model with the Precision Strikes (4+) special rule rolls a 4 or higher when making a To Hit roll, then that attack is a Precision Strike. Wounds from Precision Strikes are allocated against a model (or models) of the attacking player’s choice in the target unit, as long as that model is engaged in combat with the attacking model’s unit, rather than following the normal rules for Wound allocation.
