| Curse of the Necropolis:
If a model with this special rule loses its last Wound to an enemy attack, the unit that made the attack must immediately make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, the enemy unit suffers D3 Strength 2 hits, each with an AP of -. |
| Khopesh:
A hand weapon carried by a model with this special rule has an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1. Note that this special rule only applies to a single, ordinary hand weapon and does not apply to a model’s mount (should it have one). If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, this special rule ceases to apply. |
| Arise!:
During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may attempt to resurrect the fallen (see page 154) by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, a single friendly unit that has the Nehekharan Undead special rule and is within 12" of this character recovers a number of lost Wounds. However, magically repairing gigantic undead constructs is much harder than raising skeletons from the sand. Therefore, how many Wounds are recovered depends upon the unit’s troop type and this character’s Level of Wizardry: • If the unit’s troop type is ‘regular infantry’, ‘heavy infantry’ or ‘swarms’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character‘s Level of Wizardry +D3. • If the unit’s troop type is ‘light cavalry’, ‘heavy cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character‘s Level of Wizardry +1. • If the unit’s troop type is ‘monstrous infantry’, ‘monstrous cavalry’ or ‘light chariot’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character‘s Level of Wizardry. • If the unit’s troop type is ‘heavy chariot’, ‘monstrous creature’, ‘behemoth’ or ‘war machine’, it recovers a single Wound. |
| Lore of Nehekhara:
A Wizard with the 'Lore of Nehekhara' special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or a spell from the 'Lore of Nehekhara'. |
| Indomitable:
A unit with this special rule reduces the number of wounds suffered due to the Unstable special rule by the number shown in brackets (shown here as ‘X’). Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest value for the entire unit. For example, if a character with Indomitable (2) joins a unit with Indomitable (1), the whole unit uses the character’s Indomitable (2) special rule. |
| From Beneath the Sands:
During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may choose a single friendly unit that has both the Nehekharan Undead and the Ambushers special rules, and that is currently held in reserve, and attempt to summon it by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership): • If this test is passed, the chosen unit is successfully summoned and can be placed on the battlefield anywhere completely within 12" of this model, but not within 6" of any enemy models. The unit cannot charge during this turn and counts as having moved for the purposes of shooting, but can otherwise act as normal. • If this test is failed, the Ambushers pay no heed to this model's summons and are delayed until their controlling player’s next turn at least. Note that Ambushers arrive automatically at the start of round five as usual. |
| Nehekharan Undead:
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. |
| Regeneration:
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. |
