Prince Ulther's Dragon Company

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

A model with this special rule may re-roll any failed rolls To Hit made against a hatred enemy during the first round of combat.

Which enemies are hated varies from model to model and will be shown in brackets after the name of this special rule. Some models hate 'all enemies' meaning they hate all enemy models equally.

The Casting roll of any enemy spell (including Bound Spells) that targets a unit that includes one or more models with this special rule suffers a modifier, as shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (-X).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest modifier.

Models with this special rule suffer a -1 modifier to the result of any Flee roll or Pursuit roll they make (to a minimum of 1).

Often, an army can include certain units drawn from another army list as mercenaries. Any such units included in your army gain this special rule. Mercenaries cannot use the Inspiring Presence rule of the army’s General (see page 203) nor the Hold your Ground rule of a Battle Standard (see page 203). Mercenaries cannot be joined by characters drawn from another army list.

Unless it is fleeing, a Drilled unit may perform a free redress the ranks manoeuvre immediately before moving. Once this manoeuvre is complete, the unit moves as normal. In addition, a Drilled unit can march whilst within 8" of an enemy unit without first having to make a Leadership test.

Note that any character that joins a Drilled unit is considered to be Drilled as well.

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, ordinary hand weapon. If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, or if their hand weapon is inscribed with any Weapon runes, this special rule ceases to apply.

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.
