Blood Knights

• Restriction: model with this rule, for its hand weapon
• Result: weapon gets Magical Attacks; its Armour Piercing characteristic is −1

Such a unit is able to form up in Close Order.

• Restriction: a unit consisting only of models with Counter Charge
• Timing: an enemy unit of troop type 'cavalry', 'chariot' or 'monster' charges it into the front arc
• Condition: it is neither fleeing nor already engaged in combat
• Result: may declare the 'Counter Charge' charge reaction (optional)
• Distance between units < Movement characteristic of the charger: too late, so it must Hold or Flee
• Otherwise: pivot about its centre to face the charger's centre, then advance D3+1" straight at it; both units count as having charged this turn
• 1× per turn however many chargers; after all charges are declared, the inactive player picks the charger to answer and Holds against the others

• Restriction: any model with this rule
• Result:
• Every model with this rule ignores the death of the army's Master of the Dead
• They and their mounts may march normally, unless joined to a unit without this rule
• A Vampire Count or Vampire Thrall Wizard with this rule suffers no penalty for armour or for a shield; IE: Cast and Dispel as Normal

• Restriction: unit with First Charge
• Limits: 1× per battle, on its opening charge
• Result:
• Disrupted: the charge target, expiring when the Combat phase of the same turn finishes
• Only applies if the charging unit touches that target (checked once)

A model with Flammable loses access to Regeneration saves whenever the wound stems from a Flaming attack.

• 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

• Restriction: Blood Knights unit
• Result: every model may issue and accept challenges as a character does
• Result: refusal impossible: once a challenge is made that one of its models could accept, one of them accepts

• 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

• 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.

• 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).

• Condition: a cavalry model can make a supporting attack
• Result: the rider alone attacks; the mount does not (a rider reaches over a comrade, a mount cannot)
