Special Rule
Counter Charge:

This special rule can only be used by units that consist entirely of models with this special rule. When a unit with this special rule is charged in its front arc by an enemy unit whose troop type is ‘cavalry,’ ‘chariot’ or ‘monster’, it may declare a ‘Counter Charge’ charge reaction:

Counter Charge: The unit surges forward to meet the enemy charge. Measure the distance between the two units. If the distance is less than the Movement characteristic of the charging unit, the charged unit has not enough time to meet the enemy charge and must either Hold or Flee instead.

Otherwise, pivot the unit about its centre so that it is facing directly towards the centre of the charging enemy unit. After pivoting, the unit moves D3+1" directly towards the enemy unit. Both units are considered to have charged during this turn.

Fleeing units and units already engaged in combat when charged cannot Counter Charge. A unit can only Counter Charge in response to one charge per turn, even if charged by multiple units. Once all charges have been declared, the inactive player can choose which charging unit to Counter Charge. The unit will then Hold against the other charging units.

First Charge:

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.

Finest Warhorses:

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.

Swiftstride:

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.

Armour
Barding:

A model that rides a barded mount improves its armour value by 1. For example, a cavalry model equipped with heavy armour has an armour value of 5+. Should that model’s mount be barded, its armour value would be improved by 1 by lowering the target number from 5+ to 4+.
