Militia Unit Sub-type
(Rule)Description: • A unit that includes any models with the Militia sub-type may only attempt to Regroup (see page 193 of The Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness rulebook) if that unit includes at least half of the models that it included at the beginning of the battle (not including any models that have joined the unit during play). If more than half of its models have been removed as casualties then it may not Regroup and must continue to Fall Back until it leaves play.
• A unit that includes any models with the Militia sub-type that is Falling Back and is successfully Charged by an enemy unit is automatically removed from play as a casualty, with no Leadership test being made or dice rolled.
• A unit that includes any models that have the Militia sub‑type, but not the Monstrous or Mechanised Unit Sub-types, that is locked in combat and is then successfully charged by an additional enemy unit must make an immediate Morale check once the Charge has been resolved and as part of the Charge sub-phase. If this Check is failed then the Militia unit must Fall Back as if it had lost combat – with any enemy units able to declare Sweeping Advances only if they are not locked in combat with any other units. Once this Fall Back and any Sweeping Advances are resolved, the Fight sub-phase continues as normal.
