Skeleton Horsemen

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

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

Models with this special rule are ‘Undead’. Undead models cannot march (unless they have the Fly (X) special rule and choose to move by flying). In addition, all Undead models have the following universal special rules:

• Fear  • Immune to Psychology  • Unbreakable  • Unstable

A character with this special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice versa.

A model with this special rule can make a 'Regeneration' save. The armour value of a Regeneration save is shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (X+). A Regeneration save can never be modified by the AP characteristic of a weapon and can be made in addition to an armour save and Ward save. However, any wounds saved by a Regeneration save are still counted for the purposes of calculating combat result.

Note that models with this special rule are often vulnerable to the Flaming Attacks or Magical Attacks special rules.

A unit which consists entirely of models with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, when it makes a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, may apply a +D6 modifier to the result.

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.
