Treemen Ancients

Such a unit is able to form up in Close Order.

A model with Flammable loses access to Regeneration saves whenever the wound stems from a Flaming attack.

• Timing: terrain crossing that is difficult or dangerous, and Dangerous Terrain tests
• Result:
• bearers take no Movement characteristic modifier from that terrain
• Dangerous Terrain tests: a bearer may re-roll each 1 (optional)

• Restriction: unit with a majority of Immune to Psychology models
• Result:
• Passes Fear, Panic and Terror tests automatically
• Cannot choose Flee as a charge reaction
• Leadership tests not named here are unaffected

• Restriction: Large Target (Large Targets)
• Result:
• Partial and full cover give it no benefit
• Line of sight to and from it passes across another unit, unless that unit is also a Large Target
• Shooting unit gets 1 additional rank firing at it

• Restriction: model or weapon with Magical Attacks
• Result: its attacks and hits are 'Magical' attacks
• All spells and all hits from magic items also count

• Restriction: model with Regeneration (X+), where X+ is its Regeneration value
• Timing: immediately after a Wound is lost, ahead of removing models at 0 Wounds
• Result: a "Regeneration save" roll of 1D6 (optional): on X+ the Wound comes back, but still counts toward the combat result
• Effects altering armour values do not touch the Regeneration value, unless stated otherwise.

• Restriction: a model with Stomp Attacks (X); X is often a dice roll
• Condition: the attacker touches the enemy in base contact
• Result: Resolving Stomp Attacks: carried out after every other attack in combat, Initiative 1 ones included
• They hit automatically.
• They use the attacker's unmodified Strength.

• Limits: only at this unit's first Break test of the battle; if not used then, it is lost
• Timing: this unit would make a Break test
• Result: skips it for an automatic Fall Back in Good Order (optional), even versus a winner with over double Unit Strength
• Stubborn does not spread to non-Stubborn units from a joining character
• Stubborn characters lose it inside non-Stubborn units

• Restriction: model with Terror
• Result: also causes Fear
• When a Terror-causing unit declares a charge, its target takes a Leadership test straight away; failing means it must Flee, passing means it chooses its charge reaction as usual. A target that cannot choose to Flee skips this test.
• When 1+ Terror-causing units are on the side that wins a combat: each unit on the losing side gets -1 to its Leadership characteristic for its Break test.
• Causing Fear gives no protection against the Fear of Terror-causing models. Models causing Terror are immune to Terror; a unit not causing it gains no immunity when a character that does joins it.

• Restriction: Character or unit with Tree Spirit
• Result:
• Such a character may not join a unit that lacks Tree Spirit
• Such a unit may be neither joined by, nor draw Leadership characteristic from, a character that lacks Tree Spirit
• Exception: it draws Leadership characteristic from a Tree Spirit friendly character, not fleeing, when inside that character's Command range

• Restriction: the falling model's own Strength characteristic is used for the damage
• Timing: the model's Wounds hit 0
• Select: winner of a roll-off decides which arc (front, flank or rear) the model topples towards
• Result:
• Units in base contact with it that lie in that arc: each suffers D6 hits, AP -1, at the model's Strength characteristic.
• Afterwards the model is taken off the table.

• Restriction: Model with Tree Whack
• Limits: Once per turn
• Timing: Combat phase
• Select: 1× model of an enemy unit in close combat with this model
• Result: One of this model's Attacks is spent on a 'Tree Whack' attack (optional); the target takes an Initiative test at once
• Test passed: nothing happens
• Test failed: D3 hits at this model's Strength characteristic; no armour save, Ward and Regeneration saves allowed

• Restriction: Wizard; special rule 'Lore of Athel Loren'
• Limits: 1× spell
• Select: A randomly generated spell, dropped through the normal discard
• Result: Pick a substitute (optional)
• Signature spell of the Lore of Magic chosen by the Wizard
• or Tree Singing, or Forest Walker, or Flock of Doom

• Timing: first round of combat
• Select: failed rolls To Hit versus a hatred enemy
• Result: re-roll them (optional)
• hated foes appear in brackets next to the name; 'all enemies' covers every enemy model

• Restriction: behemoth
• Select: target of its Stomp Attacks
• Result:
• monstrous creatures or behemoth: no bonus, being too huge to trample effectively
• any other target: Armour Piercing characteristic of -2
• Related: Behemoths

• Restriction: Lumbering models (heavy, with slow turning wheels or draft animals)
• Result:
• the model is deemed a Close Order formation and follows its rules, even if it is a single model in your army
• once it has moved, if it neither charged, marched nor fled, it may pivot on its centre, altering its facing by ≤90°
• it may not join any unit, and no character may join it
