War Hydra

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

• Restriction: model with Extra Attacks (+X)
• Result:
• Dice-based X: rolled once its combat is selected, in any Choose & Fight sub phase
• Attacks characteristic +X, X being the bracketed value

• Restriction: unit with a majority of Immune to Psychology models
• Result:
• Passes Fear, Panic and Terror tests automatically
• Cannot choose Flee as a charge reaction
• Leadership tests not named here are unaffected

• Restriction: Large Target (Large Targets)
• Result:
• Partial and full cover give it no benefit
• Line of sight to and from it passes across another unit, unless that unit is also a Large Target
• Shooting unit gets 1 additional rank firing at it

• Restriction: monster with Monster Handlers
• Timing: deployment
• Result: set 1+ handler models touching the monster's base; shift them aside if they obstruct movement or line of sight
• In combat the handlers' attacks join the monster's
• Monster takes an unsaved wound: 1D6; 1-4: monster loses a Wound; 5+: remove a handler instead
• Monster removed: its handlers are removed too

• Restriction: model with Regeneration (X+), where X+ is its Regeneration value
• Timing: immediately after a Wound is lost, ahead of removing models at 0 Wounds
• Result: a "Regeneration save" roll of 1D6 (optional): on X+ the Wound comes back, but still counts toward the combat result
• Effects altering armour values do not touch the Regeneration value, unless stated otherwise.

• Restriction: a model with Stomp Attacks (X); X is often a dice roll
• Condition: the attacker touches the enemy in base contact
• Result: Resolving Stomp Attacks: carried out after every other attack in combat, Initiative 1 ones included
• They hit automatically.
• They use the attacker's unmodified Strength.

• Restriction: model with Terror
• Result: also causes Fear
• When a Terror-causing unit declares a charge, its target takes a Leadership test straight away; failing means it must Flee, passing means it chooses its charge reaction as usual. A target that cannot choose to Flee skips this test.
• When 1+ Terror-causing units are on the side that wins a combat: each unit on the losing side gets -1 to its Leadership characteristic for its Break test.
• Causing Fear gives no protection against the Fear of Terror-causing models. Models causing Terror are immune to Terror; a unit not causing it gains no immunity when a character that does joins it.

A model with Flammable loses access to Regeneration saves whenever the wound stems from a Flaming attack.

• Restriction: War Hydra only
• Timing: your Command sub-phase
• Result: the War Hydra gets back 1 wound immediately per 4+ rolled, with 1D6 rolled for each wound it is currently missing

• Restriction: behemoth
• Select: target of its Stomp Attacks
• Result:
• monstrous creatures or behemoth: no bonus, being too huge to trample effectively
• any other target: Armour Piercing characteristic of -2
• Related: Behemoths

• Restriction: Lumbering models (heavy, with slow turning wheels or draft animals)
• Result:
• the model is deemed a Close Order formation and follows its rules, even if it is a single model in your army
• once it has moved, if it neither charged, marched nor fled, it may pivot on its centre, altering its facing by ≤90°
• it may not join any unit, and no character may join it
