Khainite Assassin

Against High Elves, this model’s Hatred applies in every round of close combat, not just the first.

Note that this special rule does not apply to this model’s mount (should it have one).

A model with this special rule may re-roll any failed rolls To Hit made against a hatred enemy during the first round of combat.

Which enemies are hated varies from model to model and will be shown in brackets after the name of this special rule. Some models hate 'all enemies' meaning they hate all enemy models equally.

Khainite Assassins are not placed on the battlefield at the start of the game. Instead, they are ‘hidden’ within a friendly Dark Elf unit whose troop type is ‘infantry’ and that has a Unit Strength of ten or more (excluding Harpies). Make a note of which unit each Assassin is hiding within. A hidden Assassin may be revealed during any Start of Turn sub-phase or at the start of any Combat phase. Position the revealed Assassin as you would a character that has joined the unit.

If a unit in which a Khainite Assassin is hiding is destroyed or flees the battlefield before the Assassin is revealed, the Assassin is removed as a casualty. A Khainite Assassin cannot be your army General.

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.

When engaged in combat, a model with this special rule that is fighting with a hand weapon may re-roll any rolls To Wound of a natural 1.

Note that this special rule only applies to a single, non-magical hand weapon and does not apply to a model’s mount (should it have one). If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, this special rule ceases to apply.

During the Combat phase, a model with this special rule that is engaged in combat improves its Initiative characteristic to 10 (before any other modifiers are applied). If a model has both this rule and Strike Last, the two rules cancel one another out.
