Chaos Giants

Large Targets do not benefit from partial or full cover. In addition, a unit can draw a line of sight to a Large Target over or through another unit, and vice versa, provided that unit is not also a Large Target. Finally, a unit that shoots at a Large Target can shoot with one additional rank. For example, a unit armed with crossbows can shoot with its first two ranks when shooting at a Large Target, or with its first three if also standing on a hill.

Instead of attacking normaly during the Combat phase or making a Giant Attack, a Giant that is engaged in combat with one or more units whose troop type is "regular infantry" or "heavy infantry" may choose to make a "Pick Up And…" attack, nominate an enemy unit of regular or heavy infantry that Giant is engaged in combat with. The unit must inmediatly make an Initiative test.

• If this test is failed, a victim in picked up by the Giant. What happen next does not bear thinking about, but whatever it is, a single model belong to the target unit is inmediatly removed from play as a casualty.

• If this test is passed, the warrior manage to duck and dodge away from the Giant´s grasping hands. No one is picked up an the attack has no effect.

  Next, roll a D6 - On a roll of 1-3, the Giant forget what it is doing and makes no further attacks.

• On a roll of 4+, the Giant attempts to pick up another enemy. The target unit must make another Initiative test.

  This continue until the Giant forget what it is doing and stops making attacks or until the target is destroyed.

  Enemy models removed from play are considered to have been removed from the fighting rank of the enemy unit.

If a unit with this special rule loses a round of combat, it is not required to make a Break test. Instead, it will automatically Give Ground as it is pushed back by the enemy. Characters that are not Unbreakable cannot join units that are, and vice versa.

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.

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

Resolving Stomp Attacks: Stomp Attacks can only be made by a model that is in base contact with the enemy. Stomp Attacks are attacks made in combat that must be made last, after all other attacks have been made, including attacks made at Initiative 1. They hit automatically and use the unmodified Strength of the model making them.

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

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.

When this model is reduced to zero Wounds, the winner of a roll-off chooses one of its arcs (front, flank or rear) for it to fall into. Any units that are within the chosen arc and in base contact with this model suffer D6 hits, each using the Strength characteristic of this model, with an AP of -1. Once these hits are resolved, this model is removed from play.
