Special Rule
Elven Reflexes: A model with this special rule (but not its mount) has a +1 modifier to its Initiative characteristic (to a maximum of 10) during the first round of any combat.
Fast Cavalry: If all of the models (including characters) within a unit arrayed in an Open Order formation have this special rule, the unit may perform its Quick Turn (see page 183) even if it marched.
Hatred: 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.
Open Order: A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt an Open Order formation.
Skirmishers: A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Skirmish formation.
Swiftstride: A unit which consists entirely of models with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, before making a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, may choose to apply a +D6 modifier to the result.
