Special Rule
Fly:

Except when following up or pursuing, a model with this special rule can choose to move by flying through the air, rather than moving across the ground as normal. When a model flies it uses a special ‘Fly Movement’ characteristic, shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (shown here as ‘X’). Models that choose to move by flying:

  • May move as normal (i.e. they may charge, march and manoeuvre as if moving on the ground), except that they are able to pass freely above other models, units and terrain features without any penalty, and they can march whilst within 8" of an enemy unit without first having to make a Leadership test.

  • May end their movement in terrain, but will suffer its effects if they do. They cannot end their movement 'on top' of impassable terrain or another unit, or within 1" of an enemy unit.

Models that can Fly must begin and end all their movement on the ground. A character with this special rule cannot join a unit without this special rule, and vice versa.

Necromantic Undead:

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.
Regeneration:

Immediately after a Wound is lost, but before models with zero Wounds remaining are removed from play, a model with this special rule may make a "Regeneration save" roll by rolling a D6 and comparing the result to its "Regeneration value", shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (shown here as "X+"). If the Regeneration save roll equals or exceeds the model’s Regeneration value, the lost Wound is recovered, but is still counted for the purposes of calculating the combat result. Rules that affect armour values do not affect Regeneration values unless stated otherwise.

Skirmishers:

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt a Skirmish formation.

Swiftstride:

A unit which consists entirely of models with this special rule increases its maximum possible charge range by 3" and, before making a Charge, Flee or Pursuit roll, may choose to apply a +D6 modifier to the result.
