Armour Bane:
- 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)
|
Armoured Hide:
- Restriction: models with Armoured Hide
- Result: Armour Value improves by the number in brackets after Armoured Hide, for the model and its rider

|
Fear:
- 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
|
First Charge:

|
Hatred:

|
Stupidity:
- 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

- 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
