| Special Rule |
|---|
| Detachment:
A unit with this special rule can be fielded as a ‘detachment’ (see page 282). |
| Move Through Cover:
Models with this special rule do not suffer any modifiers to their Movement characteristic for moving through difficult or dangerous terrain. In addition, a model with this special rule may re-roll any rolls of 1 when making Dangerous Terrain tests. |
| Vanguard:
After deployment, units with this special rule may make a Vanguard move. A unit making a Vanguard move moves as described in the Basic Movement rules. It may manoeuvre normally but cannot march. If both armies contain Vanguard units, a roll-off determines who moves first. The players then alternate moving their Vanguard units one at a time, starting with the player who won the roll-off. |
| Open Order:
A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt an Open Order formation. |
| Skirmishers:
A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Skirmish formation. |
