Sir Cecil Gastonne

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.

During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may nominate a single fleeing friendly unit that is within their Command range. The nominated unit immediately makes a Rally test. If this test is failed, the unit may attempt to rally again as normal during the Rally sub-phase.

Should Sir Cecil Gastonne kill an enemy model whose troop type is ‘monstrous infantry’, ‘monstrous cavalry’, ‘monstrous creature’ or ‘behemoth’ during any Combat phase, he gains the Terror special rule for the remainder of the game.

The Exile’s Vow is a Chivalrous Vow. A model with this Chivalrous Vow has the Stubborn and Veteran special rules. In addition, a model with this Chivalrous Vow does not have to make a Panic test when a friendly unit with either the Levies or Peasantry special rule is destroyed whilst within 6" of it, or when it is fled through by a friendly unit with either the Levies or Peasantry special rule.
