Questing Knights

Once deployment is complete, instead of rolling off to determine which player takes the first turn, the Kingdom of Bretonnia army may kneel and pray for the Blessings of the Lady. If it does so, the opposing player counts as having won the roll-off and the Lady’s Blessing is granted, giving all models in the Kingdom of Bretonnia army with this special rule:

• A 6+ Ward save against any wounds suffered.

• A 5+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by an attack with a Strength of 5 or higher.

Note that if there is no roll-off to determine which player takes the first turn, the Kingdom of Bretonnia army cannot kneel and pray for the Blessing.

Note also that, should two Kingdom of Bretonnia armies face one another, neither may kneel and pray for the Blessings of the Lady. The Lady will not give her blessings to those that wage internecine wars, and no knight would presume to ask! Losing The Blessing: Unlike other special rules, the Blessings of the Lady can be lost during a game. Any model or unit that flees, or any character that refuses a challenge, will immediately lose this special rule.

Note that, for the purposes of this special rule, Falling Back in Good Order does not count as fleeing.

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

When a unit with this special rule makes a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, it may re-roll any dice that roll a natural 1, before discarding any dice that are required to be discarded.

If this unit’s first charge of the game is successful (i.e., if the unit makes contact with the charge target), the charge target becomes Disrupted until the end of the Combat phase of that turn.

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.

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

A model with this Chivalrous Vow has the Stubborn special rule and can re-roll any failed Fear, Panic or Terror test. In addition, a model with this Chivalrous Vow does not have to make a Panic test when a friendly unit with the Peasantry special rule is destroyed whilst within 6" of it, or when it is fled through by a friendly unit with the Peasantry special rule. However, a model with this Chivalrous Vow cannot be equipped with a lance (be it magical or mundane).

A unit with this Chivalrous Vow cannot be joined by a character that has the Knight’s Vow or the Peasantry special rule. A character with this Chivalrous Vow cannot join a unit with the Peasantry special rule.

A unit with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 1" and, when it makes a Charge roll, may apply a +1 modifier to the result. In addition, a unit with this special rule gains the Impetuous special rule.
