Skeleton Skirmishers

Units with this special rule never apply any modifiers to their rolls To Hit when shooting, regardless of the source of the modifier.

Friendly models whose troop type is ‘chariot’ can draw a line of sight over or through models with this special rule and can move through friendly units if they are in Skirmish formation and if the majority of models have this special rule. If the chariot’s move would result in it ending up ‘on top’ of a Chariot Runner, simply nudge the Chariot Runner aside, by the smallest amount possible, to make space for the chariot. Whilst in Skirmish formation units of Chariot Runners can treat friendly chariots that are within 1" of one or more of the unit’s models as a part of the unit for the purposes of unit coherency.

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.

Immediately after a Wound is lost, but before models with zero Wounds remaining are removed from play, a model with this special rule may make a "Regeneration save" roll by rolling a D6 and comparing the result to its "Regeneration value", shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (shown here as "X+"). If the Regeneration save roll equals or exceeds the model’s Regeneration value, the lost Wound is recovered, but is still counted for the purposes of calculating the combat result. Rules that affect armour values do not affect Regeneration values unless stated otherwise.

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

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. Units that make a Vanguard move cannot declare a charge during their first turn.
