Guardian Unit Sub-type
(Rule)Description: • Units including models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type may Embark freely upon models with the Transport Unit Sub-type and within Buildings and Fortifications as if they had the Infantry Type, even if their Unit Type would normally restrict this.
• Units including models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type may be joined by friendly models with the Character Unit Sub-type or Independent Character special rule, and when they are joined in this manner may make Reactions, even if their Unit Type would normally restrict this.
• If a unit contains any models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type as well as one or more models with the Character Unit Sub-type, any Wounds which would be allocated to the Character (even those caused by the Precision Strikes (X) or Sniper special rules) may instead be allocated to a model with the Guardian Unit Sub-type first.
• Unless they are joined by a friendly Character, all models with the Guardian Unit Sub-type suffer the following provisions:
- Reduce their Movement Characteristic by -2 and may not Run.
- Reduce their Initiative Characteristic to 1.
