Black Coach

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

If this unit’s first charge of the game is successful (i.e., if the unit makes contact with the charge target), the charge target becomes Disrupted until the end of the Combat phase of that turn.

The number of Impact Hits caused varies from model to model, and will be shown in brackets after the name of this special rile. Often, this is determined by the roll of a dice.

Resolving Impact Hits: Impact Hits can only be made by a charging model that moved 3" or more and that is in base contact with the enemy. Impact hits are attacks made in combat that always strike at Initiative 10 (regardless of modifiers), and that hit automatically using the unmodified Strength characteristic of the model.

A unit with this special rule reduces the number of wounds suffered due to the Unstable special rule by the number shown in brackets (shown here as ‘X’).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest value for the entire unit. For example, if a character with Indomitable (2) joins a unit with Indomitable (1), the whole unit uses the character’s Indomitable (2) special rule.

Any attack made or hit caused by a model with this special rule, or made using a weapon with this special rule, is a ‘Magical’ attack.

Note that all spells are considered to have this special rule, as are any hits caused by magic items.

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.

A model with this special rule can make a 'Regeneration' save. The armour value of a Regeneration save is shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (X+). A Regeneration save can never be modified by the AP characteristic of a weapon and can be made in addition to an armour save and Ward save. However, any wounds saved by a Regeneration save are still counted for the purposes of calculating combat result.

Note that models with this special rule are often vulnerable to the Flaming Attacks or Magical Attacks special rules.

A Black Coach is not wholly corporeal. To represent this, a Black Coach may become ‘Incorporeal’ during the Command sub-phase of its turn, and will remain Incorporeal until your next Start of Turn sub-phase. Whilst Incorporeal, a Black Coach: • Loses the Impact Hits (D6+2) special rule.

• Gains the Ethereal and Fly (10) special rules.

Models with this special rule cause Terror. Models that cause Terror also cause Fear:

• When a unit that causes Terror declares a charge, the charge target must immediately make a Leadership test. If this test is failed, it must Flee. If this test is passed, it can declare its charge reaction normally.

• If the winning side of a combat includes one or more units that cause Terror, each unit that belongs to the losing side must apply a -1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic when making its Break test.

Note that if a charged unit cannot choose to Flee, it does not make this Leadership test.

Models with the Fear special rule Fear models that cause Terror. Models that cause Terror are immune to Terror. A unit that does not cause Terror does not become immune to Terror when joined by a character that does.
