Special Rule
Frenzy:

During a turn in which it made a charge move, or during the turn after it made a follow up move, a Frenzied model has a +1 modifier to its Attacks characteristic. This modifier does not apply to the model’s mount (in the case of a cavalry model), to the beasts that draw it (in the case of a chariot), or to its rider (in the case of a monster).

In addition:

  • If the majority of the models in a unit are Frenzied, the unit automatically passes any Fear, Panic or Terror tests it is required to make.
  • If a unit that includes one or more Frenzied models is able to declare a charge during the Declare Charges & Charge Reactions sub-phase of its turn, it must do so.
  • If the majority of the models in a unit are Frenzied, it cannot choose to Flee as a charge reaction, nor can it ever choose to make a Restraint test.

Losing Frenzy: Unlike other special rules, Frenzy can be lost during a game. Any model that loses a round of combat will immediately lose this special rule.

Scurry Away:

Models with this special rule have a +1 modifier to the result of any Flee roll they make.

Skirmishers:

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

Stubborn:

The first time this unit is required to make a Break test it may choose not to and will automatically Fall Back in Good Order instead, even if the Unit Strength of the winning side is more than twice that of the losing side. A unit that is not Stubborn does not become Stubborn when joined by a character that is. A Stubborn character cannot use this special rule whilst part of a unit that is not Stubborn.

Warband:

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.
