Rules (4)

Stalwart Fighter [Active]

Whilst Olwyn is outnumbered in a Combat, enemy models will require a 6 To Wound her when making Strikes, regardless of their Strength characteristic. Note, as this does not require a natural 6, enemy models may use Might to influence their To Wound rolls against Olwyn and any bonuses To Wound will still apply as normal.

Expert Rider [Active]

If a Cavalry model with this special rule may re-roll the dice on any Jump, Swim or Thrown Rider Tests, and can pick up Light Objects without having to Dismount.

Additionally, a model with this special rule that is carrying both a bow and a shield will still get the +1 bonus to their Defence for having a shield whilst they remain mounted.

Horse Lord [Passive]

Whenever the Mount of a model with this special rule suffers a Wound, roll a D6 - on a natural 6, thw Wound is ignored. Additionally, a model with this special rule can use their own Fate Points to prevent Wounds infliceted upon their Mount.

Sworn Protector (X) [Passive]

Models with this special rule will have a specific model listed in brackets as part of the special rule. Whilst the named model is alive and on the battefield, this model automatically passes all Courage Tests it is required to make.

Profiles:

Wargear
Light Armour: A model wearing light armour will add 1 to their Defence characteristic against Shooting Attacks. If a model is wearing light armour then the Defence improvement will not have been added onto their profile.
Shield: A model carrying a shield adds 1 to their Defence characteristic. Where a model is listed as carrying a shield in its profile, then the improvement in its Defence characteristic will already have been included in their profile. A shield is cumbersome, and so a model carrying a shield that wishes to use their hand-and-a-half weapon as a two-handed weapon during a Combat cannot gain the Defence bonus for carrying a shield during that Combat. Additionally, a model carrying a shield does not gain the Defence bonus if it also carries a type of bow, crossbow, two-handed weapon or pike. A model with a shield can also use the Shielding special rule.
Hand Weapon: These are the standard kind of weapon a model may carry, and is anything wielded in a single hand, such as a sword, an axe, a mace or all manner of other weapons. The exact kind of weapon being carried doesn't matter; all hand weapons function the same. A hand weapon has no specific rules attached to it.
