Chaos Cultists

A unit with this special rule may be held in reserve rather than be deployed at the start of the game. From the beginning of round two onwards, roll a D6 during each of your Start of Turn sub-phases for each unit of Ambushers in your army that is held in reserve.

On a roll of 1-3, the unit is delayed until your next turn at least.  On a roll of 4+, the unit arrives, entering the battle as reinforcements during the Compulsory Moves sub-phase. The unit may be placed on any edge of the battlefield, chosen by its controlling player, but cannot be placed within 8" of an enemy model. If any Ambushers are still held in reserve by the start of round five, they arrive automatically.

Friendly units do not have to make a Panic test when this unit is destroyed or Breaks and flees from combat whilst within 6" of it. Nor do friendly units have to make a Panic test when fled through by this unit.

Models with the Mark of Chaos Undivided can re-roll any failed Fear, Panic or Terror tests.

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

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

If this unit is held in reserve, you may apply a +1 or -1 modifier to the result when rolling to determine if it arrives this turn as reinforcements or is delayed. In addition, a unit with this special rule must be placed more than 4" away from an enemy unit when arriving from reserve, rather than the usual 8".

Unless it is fleeing, a Warband gains a positive (+) modifier to its Leadership characteristic equal to its current Rank Bonus, up to a maximum of Leadership 10.However, a Warband cannot use this modifier to its Leadership should it ever choose to make a Restraint test or, if it is Impetuous, when testing to see if it must declare a charge or may act as normal. In addition, if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, it may re-roll its Charge roll.

Note that unless a character also has this special rule, their Leadership cannot be modified by this special rule. A Warband can use either its own modified Leadership, the modified Leadership of a Warband character, or the unmodified Leadership of a non-Warband character, whichever is the higher.
