Giants

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

• 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: Large Target (Large Targets)
• Result:
• Partial and full cover give it no benefit
• Line of sight to and from it passes across another unit, unless that unit is also a Large Target
• Shooting unit gets 1 additional rank firing at it

• Restriction: Giant engaged in combat with ≥1 unit of regular infantry or heavy infantry
• Timing: Combat phase, as a replacement for its normal attacks or a Giant Attack
• Select: a 'Pick Up And…' attack (optional) against 1 regular or heavy infantry unit it is engaged with
• Result:
• target unit takes an Initiative test at once
  • failed: 1 target model is taken off the table as a loss
  • passed: nothing happens
• then, whatever the test result, roll D6
  • 1-3: the Giant gives up, no more attacks
  • 4+: another try, target unit takes another Initiative test
• loops until the Giant gives up or the enemy unit has been wiped out
• each enemy model removed this way counts as lost from the enemy unit's fighting rank

• Restriction: a model with Stomp Attacks (X); X is often a dice roll
• Condition: the attacker touches the enemy in base contact
• Result: Resolving Stomp Attacks: carried out after every other attack in combat, Initiative 1 ones included
• They hit automatically.
• They use the attacker's unmodified Strength.

• Restriction: model with Terror
• Result: also causes Fear
• When a Terror-causing unit declares a charge, its target takes a Leadership test straight away; failing means it must Flee, passing means it chooses its charge reaction as usual. A target that cannot choose to Flee skips this test.
• When 1+ Terror-causing units are on the side that wins a combat: each unit on the losing side gets -1 to its Leadership characteristic for its Break test.
• Causing Fear gives no protection against the Fear of Terror-causing models. Models causing Terror are immune to Terror; a unit not causing it gains no immunity when a character that does joins it.

• Restriction: the falling model's own Strength characteristic is used for the damage
• Timing: the model's Wounds hit 0
• Select: winner of a roll-off decides which arc (front, flank or rear) the model topples towards
• Result:
• Units in base contact with it that lie in that arc: each suffers D6 hits, AP -1, at the model's Strength characteristic.
• Afterwards the model is taken off the table.

• Restriction: Unbreakable unit
• Timing: it is defeated in a round of combat
• Result: no Break test is taken; it simply Gives Ground
• A character that is not Unbreakable cannot join an Unbreakable unit, nor the other way round.

• Restriction: behemoth
• Select: target of its Stomp Attacks
• Result:
• monstrous creatures or behemoth: no bonus, being too huge to trample effectively
• any other target: Armour Piercing characteristic of -2
• Related: Behemoths

• Restriction: Lumbering models (heavy, with slow turning wheels or draft animals)
• Result:
• the model is deemed a Close Order formation and follows its rules, even if it is a single model in your army
• once it has moved, if it neither charged, marched nor fled, it may pivot on its centre, altering its facing by ≤90°
• it may not join any unit, and no character may join it
