Carapace Armour - Heavy

Heavy carapace armour grants a 4+ save roll. This is increased to 3+ against attacks originating within the fighter’s vision arc (the 90° arc to their front); check this before the fighter model is placed prone and is Pinned. If it is not clear if the attacker is within the fighter’s arc, use a Vision Arc template to check – if the centre of the attacker’s base is within the arc, use the 3+ save roll. Against attacks with the Blast trait, use the centre of the Blast marker in place of the attacker. If the fighter does not have a facing (for example, if they are prone), use the 4+ save roll. However, due to the extra weight of this armour, the fighter’s Initiative is reduced by 1 and their movement by 1" when making a Charge action.
