Thundertusk Riders

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

• Restriction: unit with First Charge
• Limits: 1× per battle, on its opening charge
• Result:
• Disrupted: the charge target, expiring when the Combat phase of the same turn finishes
• Only applies if the charging unit touches that target (checked once)

• Restriction: behemoth
• Result:
• Represents the howdah and its crew through a split profile
• Applies both 'Split Profile (Chariots)' and 'Firing Platform'
• Every other aspect: an ordinary behemoth

• 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: 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: enemy models touching this model (base contact, while true)
• Result: their Weapon Skill and Initiative characteristics drop by 1, floor 1

• 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: model with Strike Last
• Timing: Combat phase
• Condition: the model is engaged in combat
• Result:
• Initiative characteristic becomes 1, applied ahead of any other modifier.
• Strike First on the same model: both rules void each other.

• Restriction: this model
• Result: the Moving and Shooting To Hit modifier is not suffered, so a move before firing costs no accuracy

• 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

• 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
• Related: Heavy Chariots
