Stonehorn Riders

If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound, the Armour Piercing characteristic of its weapon is improved by the amount shown in brackets after the name of this special rule.

For example, if a natural 6 is rolled when rolling To Wound with a weapon that has an AP of "-" and the Armour Bane (1) special rule its AP counts as being -1 when making an Armour Save roll against that wound.

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Close Order formation, as described on page 100.

If this unit’s first charge of the game is successful (i.e., if the unit makes contact with the charge target), the charge target becomes Disrupted until the end of the Combat phase of that turn.

To represent its howdah and crew, a behemoth with this special rule has a split profile and follows both the ‘Split Profile (Chariots)’ and ‘Firing Platform’ rules (see page 194). In all other respects, this model is a behemoth.

The number of Impact Hits caused varies from model to model, and will be shown in brackets after the name of this special rile. Often, this is determined by the roll of a dice.

Resolving Impact Hits: Impact Hits can only be made by a charging model that moved 3" or more and that is in base contact with the enemy. Impact hits are attacks made in combat that always strike at Initiative 10 (regardless of modifiers), and that hit automatically using the unmodified Strength characteristic of the model.

Enemy models never suffer To Hit modifiers for full or partial cover when shooting at models with this special rule. In addition, a model can draw a line of sight to a model with this special rule over or through other models, and vice versa.

This model is less vulnerable to the Multiple Wounds (X) special rule. If it suffers an unsaved wound from an attack with this special rule, reduce the number of Wounds lost by 1, to a minimum of 1.

A unit 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.

Models with this special rule cause Terror. Models that cause Terror also cause Fear, as described on page 168:

• When a unit that causes Terror declares a charge, the charge target must immediately make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, it must Flee. If this test is passed, it can declare its charge reaction normally.

• If the winning side of a combat includes one or more units that cause Terror, each unit that belongs to the losing side must apply a -1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic when making its Break test.

Note that if a charged unit cannot choose to Flee, it does not make this Leadership test.

Models with the Fear special rule Fear models that cause Terror. Models that cause Terror are immune to Terror. A unit that does not cause Terror does not become immune to Terror when joined by a character that does.

Impact Hits caused by this model have an Armour Piercing characteristic of -2.
