Gyrobomber

This model may perform a ‘Bombing Run’ attack against a single enemy unit that is not engaged in combat. To do so, this model must move (by flying) over the unit it wishes to attack during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Once this model’s movement is complete, roll on the Bombing Run table below:

Bombing Run Table:

● D6: Result ● 1: Premature Detonation: The release mechanism jams and a bomb explodes prematurely. This model loses a single Wound.

● 2: Dud: A solitary bomb is released, but fails to detonate before landing squarely upon the head of an unfortunate enemy. The enemy unit loses a single Wound.

● 3-4: Direct Hit: A cluster of bombs lands directly on-target. Place a large (5") blast template so that its central hole is directly over the centre of the enemy unit. Once placed, the template will scatter D6". Any model whose base lies underneath the template’s final position risks being hit and suffering a single Strength 4 hit with an AP of -1.

● 5-6: Bombs Away: A cluster of bombs is released, falling over a wide area. Place two small (3") blast templates so that their central hole is over the enemy unit. Once placed, each template will scatter D6". Any model whose base lies underneath a template’s final position risks being hit and suffering a single Strength 4 hit with an AP of -1.

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.

A unit which consists entirely of models with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, when it makes a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, may apply a +D6 modifier to the result.

Whenever a model with this special rule moves, it can choose either to move across the ground as normal, using its given Movement characteristic, or to move by flying through the air. When a model flies it uses a special ‘Fly Movement’ characteristic, shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (shown here as ‘X’). Models that choose to move by flying:

• May move as normal (i.e. they may charge, march and manoeuvre as if moving on the ground), except that they are able to pass freely above other models, units and terrain features without any penalty, and they can march whilst within 8" of an enemy unit without first having to make a Leadership test.

• May end their movement in terrain, but will suffer its effects if they do. They cannot end their movement 'on top' of impassable terrain or another unit, or within 1" of an enemy unit.

Models that can Fly must begin and end all their movement on the ground. A character with this special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice versa.

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

Resolving Impact Hits: Impact Hits can only be made by a charging model that moved 3" or more and that is in base contact with the enemy. Impact hits are attacks made in combat that always strike at Initiative 10 (regardless of modifiers), and that hit automatically using the unmodified Strength characteristic of the model.

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

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.
