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.

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.

Loner:

A character with this special rule cannot be your General and cannot join a unit without this special rule. A unit with this special rule cannot be joined by a character without this special rule.

Murderous:

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.

Close Order:

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

Frenzy:

During a turn in which it made a charge move, or during the turn after it made a follow up move, a Frenzied model has a +1 modifier to its Attacks characteristic. This modifier does not apply to the model’s mount (in the case of a cavalry model), to the beasts that draw it (in the case of a chariot), or to its rider (in the case of a monster).

In addition:

  • If the majority of the models in a unit are Frenzied, the unit automatically passes any Fear, Panic or Terror tests it is required to make.
  • If a unit that includes one or more Frenzied models is able to declare a charge during the Declare Charges & Charge Reactions sub-phase of its turn, it must do so.
  • If the majority of the models in a unit are Frenzied, it cannot choose to Flee as a charge reaction, nor can it ever choose to make a Restraint test.

Losing Frenzy: Unlike other special rules, Frenzy can be lost during a game. Any model that loses a round of combat will immediately lose this special rule.

Horde:

A unit with this special rule may increase the maximum Rank Bonus it can claim (as determined by its troop type) by one.

Poisoned Attacks:

If a model with Poisoned Attacks rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Hit, it may apply a +2 modifier to that hit’s roll To Wound. Unless otherwise stated, a model with this special rule may use it when making both shooting and combat attacks. Any spells cast by the model are unaffected, as are any attacks made with magic weapons. Note that if an attack needs a To Hit roll of 7+, or hits automatically, this special rule cannot be used.
