Rules (1)

Hatred (X)

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.

Profiles:

Warlord Trait
The Weight of Duty: A Warlord with this Trait, and all models in any unit he has joined, gain a bonus of +1 to their Strength Characteristic when locked in combat with any enemy unit that includes one or more models with any variant of the Fear special rule. Furthermore, this Warlord and any models in a unit he has joined composed entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Salamanders) special rule gain the Hatred (Traitors) special rule while the Warlord is part of the unit. An army whose Warlord has this Warlord Trait may not include Legion Destroyer Assault Squads, Legion Mortalis Destroyer Squads or Legion Centurions with the Moritat Consul upgrade that also have the Legiones Astartes (Salamanders) special rule.
