Special Rule
Fanatical Zeal:

A unit with this special rule can be joined by a Lector of Sigmar or a Priest of Sigmar. However, these are the only characters that can join this unit. A Lector of Sigmar or Priest of Sigmar that joins a unit of Flagellants is considered to have the Unbreakable special rule for as long as they remain with the unit.

Note that a unit with the Unbreakable special rule cannot normally be joined by a character without it. This rule provides an exception that represents the fanaticism of Sigmar’s priesthood.

Close Order:

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

Feel No Pain:

A model with this special rule has:

  • A 6+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by a non-magical enemy attack.
  • A 5+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by a non-magical enemy attack with a Strength 5 or higher.
Furious Charge:

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.

Immune To Psychology:

If the majority of the models in a unit are Immune to Psychology, the unit automatically passes any Fear, Panic or Terror tests it is required to make. However, if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, the unit cannot choose to Flee as a charge reaction.

Note that this special rule does not make a unit immune to any test made against Leadership not stated here.

Unbreakable:

If a unit with this special rule loses a round of combat, it is not required to make a Break test. Instead, it will automatically Give Ground as it is pushed back by the enemy. Characters that are not Unbreakable cannot join units that are, and vice versa.

Hatred:

A model with this special rule may re-roll any failed rolls To Hit made against a hatred enemy during the first round of combat.

Which enemies are hated varies from model to model and will be shown in brackets after the name of this special rule. Some models hate 'all enemies' meaning they hate all enemy models equally.

Impetuous:

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.
