Nasty Skulker

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.

Nasty Skulkers are not placed on the battlefield at the start of the game. Instead, make a note of which Goblin Mobs include Nasty Skulkers, and of how many they include. These units are referred to as ‘concealing’ units. At the start of its first round of combat, during Step 1.1 of the Choose Combat & Fight sub-phase, a concealing unit must reveal its Nasty Skulkers – they cannot be revealed at any other time. Position each revealed Nasty Skulker as you would a character that has joined the unit. Once placed, Nasty Skulkers cannot leave their concealing unit. If a concealing unit is destroyed or flees the battlefield before its Nasty Skulkers are revealed, they are removed as casualties.

A unit with this special rule may increase the maximum Rank Bonus it can claim (as determined by its troop type) by one.

Elves of any type cause Fear in models with this special rule.

During the Combat phase, a model with this special rule that is engaged in combat improves its Initiative characteristic to 10 (before any other modifiers are applied). If a model has both this rule and Strike Last, the two rules cancel one another out.
