Cold One Knights

• Condition: natural 6 on a roll To Wound made by the model
• Result: the weapon's Armour Piercing characteristic improves by the (X) figure of Armour Bane when an Armour Save is rolled against that wound (e.g. AP "-" with Armour Bane (1) counts as -1)

• Restriction: models with Armoured Hide
• Result: Armour Value improves by the number in brackets after Armoured Hide, for the model and its rider
• No armour worn: counts as Armour Value 7+ when a rule improves Armour Value

Such a unit is able to form up in Close Order.

• Restriction: the bearer of this rule (not its mount)
• Condition: first round of combat
• Result: Initiative characteristic +1, capped at 10

• Restriction: models with Fear
• Result: the model causes Fear
• Any unit declaring a charge on an enemy unit that causes Fear and has higher Unit Strength: Leadership test first; failed: it does not move, no charge, counts as a failed charge; passed: charges normally
• Any unit in close combat against an enemy unit causing Fear with higher Unit Strength, at the moment its combat is picked in a Choose & Fight Combat sub-phase: Leadership test; failed: models aiming attacks at the Fear-causing enemy get -1 To Hit
• A unit takes at most 1 Fear test per turn
• Models causing Fear are immune to it
• A unit not causing Fear gains no immunity from a Fear-causing character that joins it

• Restriction: unit with First Charge
• Limits: 1× per battle, on its opening charge
• Result:
• Disrupted: the charge target, expiring when the Combat phase of the same turn finishes
• Only applies if the charging unit touches that target (checked once)

• Timing: first round of combat
• Select: failed rolls To Hit versus a hatred enemy
• Result: re-roll them (optional)
• hated foes appear in brackets next to the name; 'all enemies' covers every enemy model

• Restriction: unit with Stupidity
• Timing: every turn it takes, at the Start of Turn sub-phase
• Condition: the unit is neither fleeing nor engaged in combat
• Result: it takes a Leadership test to test for Stupidity; failure means it succumbs to Stupidity
• A unit that has succumbed:
  • Cannot move unless fleeing.
  • No shooting of any kind, and no spellcasting.
  • Wizardly dispel attempts are impossible.
  • Must "Hold" when an enemy charges it.
• Duration: until its following Start of Turn sub-phase
• Stupidity is contagious: a unit or mount lacking it gains it if a character with it joins or rides it.

• Restriction: every model of the unit has Swiftstride
• Result:
• Charge range ceiling: 3" higher.
• Prior to a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, the unit may add +D6 to that roll (optional).

• Restriction: a unit consisting only of models with Counter Charge
• Timing: an enemy unit of troop type 'cavalry', 'chariot' or 'monster' charges it into the front arc
• Condition: it is neither fleeing nor already engaged in combat
• Result: may declare the 'Counter Charge' charge reaction (optional)
• Distance between units < Movement characteristic of the charger: too late, so it must Hold or Flee
• Otherwise: pivot about its centre to face the charger's centre, then advance D3+1" straight at it; both units count as having charged this turn
• 1× per turn however many chargers; after all charges are declared, the inactive player picks the charger to answer and Holds against the others

• Condition: a cavalry model can make a supporting attack
• Result: the rider alone attacks; the mount does not (a rider reaches over a comrade, a mount cannot)
