Yhetees

The hide of some creatures forms natural armour and improves their armour value ( and that of their rider). By how much armour value is improved varies from model to model, as shown in brackets after the name of this special rule.

Note that a model that wears no armour is considerer to have an armour value of 7+ for the purposes of rules that improve armour value.

Models with this special rule cause Fear:

• If a unit wishes to declare a charge against an enemy unit that both causes Fear and has a higher Unit Strength, it must first make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, the unit cannot charge. It does not move and is considered to have made a failed charge. If this test is passed, the unit can charge as normal.

• If a unit is engaged with an enemy unit that both causes Fear and has a higher Unit Strength when its combat is chosen during any Choose & Fight Combat sub-phase, it must make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, any models in the unit that direct their attacks against the Fear-causing enemy suffer a -1 modifier to their rolls To Hit.

A unit only needs to make one Fear test per turn. Models that cause Fear are immune to Fear. A unit that does not cause Fear does not become immune to Fear when joined by a character that does.

A model with this special rule cannot make a Regeneration save against a wound caused by a Flaming attack.

A character with this special rule cannot be your General and cannot join a unit without this special rule. A unit with this special rule cannot be joined by a character without this special rule.

Models with this special rule do not suffer any modifiers to their Movement characteristic for moving through difficult or dangerous terrain. In addition, a model with this special rule may re-roll any rolls of 1 when making Dangerous Terrain tests.

Whilst in base contact with this model, enemy models suffer a -1 modifier to their Weapon Skill and Initiative characteristics, to a minimum of 1.

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt an Open Order formation.

A unit which consists entirely of models with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, when it makes a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, may apply a +D6 modifier to the result.
