Forsaken

A unit consisting of models with this special rule may adopt an Open Order formation.

A hand weapon carried by a model with this special rule has the Magical Attacks special rule and an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1.

Note that this special rule may only apply to a single, non-magical hand weapon and does not apply to a model's mount (should it have one). If the model is using two hand weapon or any other sort of weapon, this rule cease to apply.

During a turn in which it made a charge move of 3" or more, a model with this special rule gains a +1 modifier to its Attacks characteristic.

If the majority of the models in a unit are Immune to Psychology, the unit automatically passes any Fear, Panic or Terror tests it is required to make. However, if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, the unit cannot choose to Flee as a charge reaction.

Note that this special rule does not make a unit immune to any test made against Leadership not stated here.

If during the Declare Charges & Charge Reactions sub-phase of its turn, a unit that includes one or more Impetuous models is able to declare a charge, roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3, the unit must declare a charge. On a roll of 4+, the unit may act as normal.

A character with this special rule cannot be your General and cannot join a unit without this special rule. A unit with this special rule cannot be joined by a character without this special rule.

Models with this special rule do not have a normal Attacks characteristic. Instead, a dice roll is given (D3+1, for example). Each time a model with this special rule attacks in combat, roll the dice to determine the number of attacks it will make, then roll To Hit as normal. If a fighting rank contains more than one model with this special rule, roll separately for each, unless specified otherwise.

When this unit’s combat is chosen during Step 1.1 of any Choose & Fight Combat sub-phase, roll on the table below to determine which mutation it is currently afflicted with:

1-2 Venomous Fangs: With jaws distended, the Forsaken sink venomous fangs into their foes. Until the end of this Combat phase, the unit gains the Poisoned Attacks special rule.

3-4 Razor Talons: With talons like the blades of daggers, the Forsaken slash at their enemies. Until the end of this Combat phase, all of the unit’s attacks have an Armour Piercing characteristic of -2.

5-6 Decapitating Claws: With gigantic, snapping claws, the Forsaken dismember the enemy. Until the end of this Combat phase, the unit gains the Killing Blow special rule.

The first time this unit is required to make a Break test it may choose not to and will automatically Fall Back in Good Order instead, even if the Unit Strength of the winning side is more than twice that of the losing side. A unit that is not Stubborn does not become Stubborn when joined by a character that is. A Stubborn character cannot use this special rule whilst part of a unit that is not Stubborn.

A model with this special rule has a Ward save against any wound suffered. The armour value of this Ward save is shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (X+). In addition, a Wizard with this special rile may wear armour without penalty.
