Kharibdyss

The mournful wail of a Kharibdyss echoes across the battlefield and saps the courage of the enemy.

Whilst within 6" of this model, enemy units suffer a -1 modifier to their Leadership characteristic (to a minimum of 2).

Note that this modifier is not cumulative.

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

If the majority of the models in a unit are Immune to Psychology, the unit automatically passes any Fear, Panic or Terror tests it is required to make. However, if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, the unit cannot choose to Flee as a charge reaction.

Note that this special rule does not make a unit immune to any test made against Leadership not stated here.

Enemy models never suffer To Hit modifiers for full or partial cover when shooting at models with this special rule. In addition, a model can draw a line of sight to a model with this special rule over or through other models, and vice versa.

A monster with this special rule is accompanied by one or more models representing its handlers. During deployment, position these models anywhere that is adjacent to, and in base contact with, the monster. If the handlers are found to be blocking movement or line of sight, simply move them aside.

In combat, each handler adds its attacks to those of the monster. If the monster suffers an unsaved wound, roll a D6. On a roll of 1-4 the monster loses a Wound, but on a roll of 5+ one of the handlers is removed instead. If the monster is removed from play, so are its handlers.

The number of Stomp Attacks caused varies from model to model and will be shown in brackets after the name of this special rule. Often, this is determined by the roll of a dice.

Resolving Stomp Attacks: Stomp Attacks can only be made by a model that is in base contact with the enemy. Stomp Attacks are attacks made in combat that always strike at Initiative 1 (regardless of modifiers) and that hit automatically using the unmodified Strength characteristic of the model.

Models with this special rule cause Terror. Models that cause Terror also cause Fear:

• When a unit that causes Terror declares a charge, the charge target must immediately make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, it must Flee. If this test is passed, it can declare its charge reaction normally.

• If the winning side of a combat includes one or more units that cause Terror, each unit that belongs to the losing side must apply a -1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic when making its Break test.

Note that if a charged unit cannot choose to Flee, it does not make this Leadership test.

Models with the Fear special rule Fear models that cause Terror. Models that cause Terror are immune to Terror. A unit that does not cause Terror does not become immune to Terror when joined by a character that does.
