Bat Swarms

• 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

• 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.

Such a unit is allowed to take up a Skirmish formation.

• Timing: start of the Combat phase
• Select: every enemy unit touching a bearer (base contact)
• Result: Strikes Last is gained by each such unit that fails a Leadership test it must take
• Duration: until the Combat phase ends

• Restriction: Swarms
• Result:
• a line of sight may be traced over a swarm as if nothing stood there
• when checking whether an enemy character may be targeted, swarms are ignored

• Restriction: Swarms
• Result: whatever happens to a swarm, it causes no Panic among friendly units

• 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"
