Royal Herald

Each time this model suffers an unsaved wound from a Flaming Attack, your opponent may roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3, the flames quickly die down and this model escapes further harm. On a roll of 4+, the flames take hold and this model loses one additional Wound.

Note that excess wounds caused to a model will have no additional effect except in the case of a character that is part of a challenge, in which case this special rule counts for Overkill. Excess wounds do not ‘spill over’ onto other models in the unit.

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.

A Royal Herald that has been upgraded to be your Battle Standard Bearer replaces the “Hold Your Ground” rule given in the Warhammer: the Old World rulebook with the version given below:

“Hold Your Ground”: Friendly units within the Battle Standard Bearer’s Command range may re-roll any failed Leadership test. In addition, friendly units within the Battle Standard Bearer’s Command range reduce the number of Wounds lost due to the Unstable special rule by D3.

Note that this is not cumulative with the Indomitable (X) special rule (see page 153). If a unit is affected by both, use the highest value.

A model with this special rule cannot make a Regeneration save against a wound caused by a Flaming attack.

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.

Should a Monarch of Nehekhara model suffer a hit whilst within 3" of this model, you may choose to transfer that hit and all of its effects onto this model.

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.
