Special Rule
Necromantic Undead:
  • Restriction: a character with it cannot join units without it, and vice versa
  • Result:
  • Models count as ‘Undead’
  • No march, unless using Fly (X) to move
  • They also gain Fear, Immune to Psychology, Unbreakable and Unstable
Open Order:

Such a unit is allowed to take up an Open Order formation.

Regeneration:
  • Restriction: model with Regeneration (X+), where X+ is its Regeneration value
  • Timing: immediately after a Wound is lost, ahead of removing models at 0 Wounds
  • Result: a "Regeneration save" roll of 1D6 (optional): on X+ the Wound comes back, but still counts toward the combat result
  • Effects altering armour values do not touch the Regeneration value, unless stated otherwise.
Reserve Move:
  • Restriction: a unit where most models have Reserve Move
  • Timing: closing moments of the Shooting phase in its own turn, once all shooting resolves
  • Condition: it did not charge, march or flee earlier in the Movement phase
  • Result: a Reserve move (optional)
  • Handled as Basic Movement; manoeuvres work as usual, but no march.
Slavering Charge:
  • Condition: this model charged this turn
  • Result: Strength characteristic +1
Swiftstride:
  • Restriction: every model of the unit has Swiftstride
  • Result:
  • Charge range ceiling: 3" higher.
  • Prior to a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, the unit may add +D6 to that roll (optional).
Vanguard:
  • Timing: once deployment is finished
  • Result: each unit with Vanguard makes a Vanguard move (optional)
  • Moves per Basic Movement rules; may manoeuvre, may not march
  • Both armies have Vanguard units: roll-off, winner moves first, then sides alternate 1 unit at a time
  • A unit that made a Vanguard move may not declare a charge in its first turn
Undisciplined:
  • Restriction: unit with this rule
  • Result: the army's General cannot lend it Inspiring Presence, and a Battle Standard cannot lend it "Hold your Ground"
