Veteran Sellswords

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

A unit with this special rule can be fielded as a ‘detachment’ (see page 282).

A unit with this special rule can be accompanied by ‘detachments’ (see page 282).

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

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 or, if it is Impetuous, when testing to see if it must declare a charge or may act as normal. 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.

If the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, the unit may re-roll any failed Leadership test.

Note that a Break test is not a Leadership test.
