| Close Order: Such a unit is able to form up in Close Order. |
Fly:
- Condition: not following up or pursuing
- Result: the model may fly (optional), using the 'Fly Movement' characteristic given in brackets (X)
- Moves like a ground model (charging, marching, manoeuvring), but sweep above anything on the table (models, units, scenery) at no penalty
- May march ≤8" from an enemy unit with no Leadership test
- May finish in terrain and suffers its effects; may not finish on top of an impassable feature or of a unit, nor ≤1" from an enemy unit
- A flying model starts and finishes all its movement on the ground
- A character with Fly cannot join a unit lacking it, nor the reverse
|
Indomitable (X):
- Limits: no stacking; with several models in a unit, the unit uses the best value (e.g. a character with Indomitable (2) joining Indomitable (1) gives the whole unit 2)
- Result: wounds from Unstable drop by X
|
Infested:
- Restriction: this model
- Timing: final Wound lost, model leaves play
- Result: D6 hits at Strength 2, AP −1 on each unit adjacent in base contact, friendly or enemy
|
Large Target:
- Restriction: Large Target (Large Targets)
- Result:
- Partial and full cover give it no benefit
- Line of sight to and from it passes across another unit, unless that unit is also a Large Target
- Shooting unit gets 1 additional rank firing at it
|
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
|
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.
|
Stomp Attacks:
- Restriction: a model with Stomp Attacks (X); X is often a dice roll
- Condition: the attacker touches the enemy in base contact
- Result: Resolving Stomp Attacks: carried out after every other attack in combat, Initiative 1 ones included
- They hit automatically.
- They use the attacker's unmodified Strength.
|
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).
|
Terror:
- Restriction: model with Terror
- Result: also causes Fear
- When a Terror-causing unit declares a charge, its target takes a Leadership test straight away; failing means it must Flee, passing means it chooses its charge reaction as usual. A target that cannot choose to Flee skips this test.
- When 1+ Terror-causing units are on the side that wins a combat: each unit on the losing side gets -1 to its Leadership characteristic for its Break test.
- Causing Fear gives no protection against the Fear of Terror-causing models. Models causing Terror are immune to Terror; a unit not causing it gains no immunity when a character that does joins it.
|
Wailing Dirge (X):
- Restriction: bearers of this special rule
- Limits: target Leadership cannot be brought under 2
- Select: enemy unit at ≤8”
- Result: may make a ‘Wailing Dirge’ attack, a Shooting attack with Magical Attacks
- Skips to hit and to wound; the target takes a Leadership test at −X to its Leadership characteristic (X = value in brackets)
- Failed test: target takes wounds equal to the failure margin; no armour or Regeneration saves, Ward saves work normally
- Lone character targets: allowed, normal Lone character targeting rules ignored
- Engaged in combat in the Shooting phase: may pick a unit touching its base, even when this model made a charge this turn
