Squires

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt an Open Order formation.

Models with this special rule do not suffer any modifiers to their Movement characteristic for moving through difficult or dangerous terrain. In addition, a model with this special rule may re-roll any rolls of 1 when making Dangerous Terrain tests.

If a unit with this special rule is within 6" of a friendly model that has the Knight’s Vow, the Questing Vow or the Grail Vow, and if that model is not fleeing, this unit can use that model’s Leadership characteristic instead of its own. In addition, a standard carried by a unit with this special rule cannot be counted as a trophy of war. A character with this special rule can only join a unit that also has this special rule.

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

After deployment, units with this special rule may make a Vanguard move. A unit making a Vanguard move moves as described in the Basic Movement rules. It may manoeuvre normally but cannot march.

If both armies contain Vanguard units, a roll-off determines who moves first. The players then alternate moving their Vanguard units one at a time, starting with the player who won the roll-off.
