Special Rule
Suffer Not...:

Each Witch Hunter in your army must have one of the following 'specializations' chosen when writing your roster list. This specialization indicates which of the many enemies of humanity the Witch Hunter is tasked with hunting. You must tell your opponent which specialization each Witch Hunter in your army has when deploying your army:

  • The Witch: The Witch Hunter and any unit they have joined gains the Hatred (enemy Wizards) and Magic Resistance (-2) special rules.

  • The Revenant: The Witch Hunter and any unit they have joined gains the Hatred (undead models) and Flaming Attacks special rules.

  • The Mutant: The Witch Hunter and any unit they have joined gains the Hatred (Warriors of Chaos & Beasts of Chaos) and Magic Resistance (-1) special rules.

  • The Daemon: The Witch Hunter and any unit they have joined gains the Hatred (Daemonic models) and Magical Attacks special rules.

Killing Blow:

If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound for an attack made in combat, it has struck a ‘Killing Blow’. Enemy models whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or ‘cavalry’ are not permitted an armour or Regeneration save (see page 176) against a Killing Blow (Ward saves can be attempted as normal). If an enemy model whose troop type is ‘infantry’ or ‘cavalry’ suffers an unsaved wound from a Killing Blow, it loses all of its remaining Wounds.

Note that if an attack wounds automatically, this special rule cannot be used.

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.
