Temple Guard

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

To other races, the cold blooded Lizardmen seem incapable of emotion.

When required to make a Fear, Panic or Terror test, models with this special rule may roll an extra D6 and discard the highest result.

Should a friendly Slann Mage-Priest model that is within 3" of this unit suffer a hit during the Shooting phase, roll a D6. On a roll of 2+, you may choose to transfer that hit and all of its effects onto this unit. In addition, any model in a unit of Temple Guard that is within the Command range of a Slann Mage-Priest can issue and accept challenges in the same manner as a character.

Lizardmen favour weapons studded with shards of razor sharp volcanic glass that cut through flesh and armour with ease.

A hand weapon carried by a model with this special rule has an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1.

Note that this special rule only applies to a single, non-magical hand weapon and does not apply to a model’s mount (should it have one). If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, this special rule ceases to apply.

Once per game, during a turn in which it was charged, a unit with this special rule that is arrayed in a Close Order formation, and that is equipped with and chooses to use shields, may Give Ground rather than Fall Back in Good Order.

The first time this unit is required to make a Break test it may choose not to and will automatically Fall Back in Good Order instead, even if the Unit Strength of the winning side is more than twice that of the losing side. A unit that is not Stubborn does not become Stubborn when joined by a character that is. A Stubborn character cannot use this special rule whilst part of a unit that is not Stubborn.
