Maneaters

Such a unit is able to form up in Close Order.

• Restriction: models with Fear
• Result: the model causes Fear
• Any unit declaring a charge on an enemy unit that causes Fear and has higher Unit Strength: Leadership test first; failed: it does not move, no charge, counts as a failed charge; passed: charges normally
• Any unit in close combat against an enemy unit causing Fear with higher Unit Strength, at the moment its combat is picked in a Choose & Fight Combat sub-phase: Leadership test; failed: models aiming attacks at the Fear-causing enemy get -1 To Hit
• A unit takes at most 1 Fear test per turn
• Models causing Fear are immune to it
• A unit not causing Fear gains no immunity from a Fear-causing character that joins it

• Restriction: charging model that moved 3"+, touching the enemy base
• Result: causes the number of Impact Hits given in brackets (often dice-determined)
• Resolving Impact Hits: applied to the charged unit when its combat is picked, at Step 1.1 of the Choose Combat & Fight sub-phase, ahead of challenges
• Automatic hits at the attacker's unmodified Strength

• Restriction: Motley Crew units
• Result: may field one model type with varied gear, and/or several model types fighting as one unit; the army list entry may explain the make-up
• Different Weapons: a fighting rank may hold varied weapons; roll a separate batch of dice for each differing model, tell the opponent which model it represents and the target; attacks follow each model's own Initiative
• Different Armour: in combat, the armour value shared by most of the fighting rank counts; versus shooting, the armour value shared by most of the unit
• Casualty Removal: versus shooting, spread casualties as evenly as possible across the differing models of the unit (by type or by gear); in combat, take them from the models forming the majority of the fighting rank; owner fills gaps with models from rear ranks

• Limits: only at this unit's first Break test of the battle; if not used then, it is lost
• Timing: this unit would make a Break test
• Result: skips it for an automatic Fall Back in Good Order (optional), even versus a winner with over double Unit Strength
• Stubborn does not spread to non-Stubborn units from a joining character
• Stubborn characters lose it inside non-Stubborn units

• Restriction: unit with a majority of Immune to Psychology models
• Result:
• Passes Fear, Panic and Terror tests automatically
• Cannot choose Flee as a charge reaction
• Leadership tests not named here are unaffected

• Restriction: model with Poisoned Attacks
• Condition: natural 6 on a roll To Hit; does not work if a hit roll of 7+ is needed or the attack hits automatically
• Result: +2 on the roll To Wound for that hit (optional)
• Valid in shooting and combat unless stated otherwise
• Excluded: the model's own spells, attacks from magic weapons

• Timing: once deployment is finished
• Result: each unit with Vanguard makes a Vanguard move (optional)
• Moves per Basic Movement rules; may manoeuvre, may not march
• Both armies have Vanguard units: roll-off, winner moves first, then sides alternate 1 unit at a time
• A unit that made a Vanguard move may not declare a charge in its first turn

• Restriction: Ogre Kingdoms Charge
• Result: two effects
• Impact hits of an Infantry model with the rule: Strength and Armour Piercing characteristics improved by current rank bonus of its unit (for characters: whichever unit they have joined)
• Unit with the rule making a Charge move of 6" or more after a Charge or Pursuit roll containing ≥1 natural 6s: every model has Impact Hits (1), and low linear obstacles count as open ground that turn
  • Models split by only a low linear obstacle count as in base contact for combat; the enemy gains no defending bonus from it versus this unit

• Condition: bearers form a majority of the unit
• Result: unit may re-roll failed Leadership tests (optional)
• Break tests are excluded

• Restriction: Ogre Club
• Result: the model's hand weapon has an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1
• Concerns one non-magical hand weapon only, never a mount
• Cancelled when the model fights with an Ogre Kingdoms Ironfist or any weapon other than that hand weapon

• Timing: deployment, once the rest of both armies is down (optional)
• Select: any spot over 12" from every enemy model
• Result: if placed this way, no charge declarations by these Scouts in their first turn
• both sides with Scouts: roll-off winner places first; then alternate, a unit at a time

• Restriction: every model of the unit has Swiftstride
• Result:
• Charge range ceiling: 3" higher.
• Prior to a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, the unit may add +D6 to that roll (optional).

• Timing: terrain crossing that is difficult or dangerous, and Dangerous Terrain tests
• Result:
• bearers take no Movement characteristic modifier from that terrain
• Dangerous Terrain tests: a bearer may re-roll each 1 (optional)

• Restriction: unit with this rule
• Result: joining it requires Clumsy on the joining character as well; small characters fear getting trampled
