Special Rule
Armour Bane:

If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound, the Armour Piercing characteristic of its weapon is improved by the amount shown in brackets after the name of this special rule.

For example, if a natural 6 is rolled when rolling To Wound with a weapon that has an AP of "-" and the Armour Bane (1) special rule its AP counts as being -1 when making an Armour Save roll against that wound.

Counter Charge:

This special rule can only be used by units that consist entirely of models with this special rule. When a unit with this special rule is charged in its front arc by an enemy unit whose troop type is ‘cavalry,’ ‘chariot’ or ‘monster’, it may declare a ‘Counter Charge’ charge reaction:

Counter Charge: The unit surges forward to meet the enemy charge. Measure the distance between the two units. If the distance is less than the Movement characteristic of the charging unit, the charged unit has not enough time to meet the enemy charge and must either Hold or Flee instead.

Otherwise, pivot the unit about its centre so that it is facing directly towards the centre of the charging enemy unit. After pivoting, the unit moves D3+1" directly towards the enemy unit. Both units are considered to have charged during this turn.

Fleeing units and units already engaged in combat when charged cannot Counter Charge. A unit can only Counter Charge in response to one charge per turn, even if charged by multiple units. Once all charges have been declared, the inactive player can choose which charging unit to Counter Charge. The unit will then Hold against the other charging units.

Daemonic:

Models with this special rule are ‘Daemonic’. All Daemonic models have a 5+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by a non-magical enemy attack. In addition, all Daemonic models have the following universal special rules: • Daemonic Instability • Fear • Immune to Psychology • Magical Attacks • Unbreakable • Warp-spawned A character with this special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice versa.

Daemon of Slaanesh:

Daemons of Slaanesh have the Hatred (Daemons of Khorne) special rule. In addition, Daemons of Slaanesh increase their maximum possible charge range by 1" and have a +1 modifier to the result of any Charge or Pursuit roll they make

Fast Cavalry:

If all of the models (including characters) within a unit arrayed in an Open Order formation have this special rule, the unit may perform its Quick Turn (see page 183) even if it marched.

Open Order:

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt an Open Order formation.

Poisoned Attacks:

If a model with Poisoned Attacks rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Hit, it may apply a +2 modifier to that hit’s roll To Wound. Unless otherwise stated, a model with this special rule may use it when making both shooting and combat attacks. Any spells cast by the model are unaffected, as are any attacks made with magic weapons. Note that if an attack needs a To Hit roll of 7+, or hits automatically, this special rule cannot be used.

Skirmishers:

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Skirmish formation.

Swiftstride:

A unit which consists entirely of models with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, before making a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, may choose to apply a +D6 modifier to the result.
