Hammerers

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

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.

The Casting roll of any enemy spell (including Bound Spells) that targets a unit that includes one or more models with this special rule suffers a modifier, as shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (-X).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest modifier.

Models with this special rule suffer a -1 modifier to the result of any Flee roll or Pursuit roll they make (to a minimum of 1).

A hand weapon carried by a model with this special rule has an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1.

Note that this special rule only applies to a single, ordinary hand weapon. If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, or if their hand weapon is inscribed with any Weapon runes, this special rule ceases to apply.

The first time this unit is required to make a Break test it may choose not to and will automatically Fall Back in Good Order instead, even if the Unit Strength of the winning side is more than twice that of the losing side. A unit that is not Stubborn does not become Stubborn when joined by a character that is. A Stubborn character cannot use this special rule whilst part of a unit that is not Stubborn.

Once per game, during a turn in which it was charged, a unit with this special rule that is arrayed in a Close Order formation, and that is equipped with and chooses to use shields, may Give Ground rather than Fall Back in Good Order.

Your army may include one unit of Hammerers for every King or Thane it includes. Any model in a unit of Hammerers that has been joined by a King or Thane can issue and accept challenges in the same manner as a character. Should the King or Thane leave the unit for any reason, the unit loses this ability.

During a turn in which it was charged by the enemy, a model with this special rule gains a +1 modifier to its Initiative and Attacks characteristics.

During a turn in which a unit in a Royal Clan army makes a charge move of 3" or more, or made a follow up move, it gains a +1 modifier to its Strength characteristic.

Character models in this army may spend an additional 25 points on runes. In addition, unit that are able to purchase Standard runes may spend an additional 25 points on Standard runes (with the exception of Royal Clan Warriors, who already have this bonus included on their profile).

After deployment but before the first turn begins, nominate a single enemy character. For one reason or another, this individual has earned themselves a place in the Clan's Book of Grudges and must be brought to justice. All friendly models gain the Hatred (nominated enemy character) special rule. In addition, you win a bonus of 75 Victory Points if the nominated character is slain, has fled the battlefield or is fleeing when the game ends.
