Orc Boar Boy Mobs

During a turn in which it charged, a model with this special rule may re-roll any rolls To Wound of a natural 1, and improves the Armour Piercing characteristic of its weapon(s) by 1.

Note that this special rule only applies to non-magical weapons and does not apply to a model’s mount (should it have one). If the model is using a magic weapon, this special rule ceases to apply.

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Close Order formation.

This unit does not have to make a Panic test when a friendly Goblin unit is destroyed or Breaks and flees from combat whilst within 6" of it. Nor does this unit have to make a Panic test when it is fled through by a friendly Goblin unit.

Note that, for the purposes of this rule, a Goblin unit is considered to be any unit that is made up entirely of Goblins of any kind, mounted or otherwise. This includes any war machine or chariot that is crewed entirely by Goblins. Should a Goblin unit be joined by an Orc character, it is no longer considered to be a Goblin unit.

If during the Declare Charges & Charge Reactions sub-phase of its turn, a unit that includes one or more Impetuous models is able to declare a charge, roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3, the unit must declare a charge. On a roll of 4+, the unit may act as normal.

Unless it is fleeing, a Warband gains a positive (+) modifier to its Leadership characteristic equal to its current Rank Bonus, up to a maximum of Leadership 10. However, a Warband cannot use this modifier to its Leadership should it ever choose to make a Restraint test. In addition, if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, it may re-roll its Charge roll.

Note that unless a character also has this special rule, their Leadership cannot be modified by this special rule. A Warband can use either its own modified Leadership, the modified Leadership of a Warband character, or the unmodified Leadership of a non-Warband character, whichever is the higher.

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.

This special rule can only be used by units that consist entirely of models with this special rule. When a unit with this special rule is charged in its front arc by an enemy unit whose troop type is ‘cavalry,’ ‘chariot’ or ‘monster’, it may declare a ‘Counter Charge’ charge reaction:

Counter Charge: The unit surges forward to meet the enemy charge. Measure the distance between the two units. If the distance is less than the Movement characteristic of the charging unit, the charged unit has not enough time to meet the enemy charge and must either Hold or Flee instead.

Otherwise, pivot the unit about its centre so that it is facing directly towards the centre of the charging enemy unit. After pivoting, the unit moves D3+1" directly towards the enemy unit. Both units are considered to have charged during this turn.

Fleeing units and units already engaged in combat when charged cannot Counter Charge. A unit can only Counter Charge in response to one charge per turn, even if charged by multiple units. Once all charges have been declared, the inactive player can choose which charging unit to Counter Charge. The unit will then Hold against the other charging units.

During a turn in which it made a charge move of 3" or more, a model with this special rule gains a +1 modifier to its Attacks characteristic.

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.

During a turn in which it charged, a War Boar’s Tusks (hand weapon) have a Strength characteristic of S+1 and an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1.

Note that this special rule only applies to attacks made by a War Boar, not to their rider, a chariot or its crew.
