Musician

“Onwards To Victory!” If, once the combat result has been calculated, both sides have the exact same number of points each, the side that has a musician in the front rank of one or more of its units may claim a bonus of +1 combat result point.

If, however, the opposing side has a musician also, the redoubled efforts (and almighty clamour) cancel each other out and neither side may claim this bonus.

Steadying Rhythm If a fleeing unit contains a musician, it may apply a +1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic whenever it attempts to rally, up to a maximum of Leadership 10.

Quick Time Should a unit that contains a musician wish to march whilst within 8" of an enemy unit, it may apply a +1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic, up to a maximum of Leadership 10, when making its Leadership test.

Musicians As Casualties If a musician model is slain, another rank and file model belonging to the same unit, but that is not a command group model, will retrieve the fallen instrument and take their place. Therefore, a unit cannot lose its musician unless it, the standard bearer and the champion are the only remaining models in the unit. This applies even if the musician is targeted by an attack that allows a specific model within a unit to be targeted, or finds themselves lying underneath a template.

If the only other remaining models in a unit are the champion and standard bearer, the musician must be removed as a casualty before either.
