Bloodthirster

Models that cause Terror also cause Fear. In addition,
the following rules apply. Fear-causing models or
models with Immunity (Fear) treat Terror-causing
monsters as causing Fear, rather than Terror – this is an
exception to the rule that makes Fear-causing creatures
immune to Fear. Terror-causing models have the
Immunity (Fear/Terror) special rule.

Run for Your Lives!
If a Terror-causing creature declares a charge, the target unit must immediately take a Panic test. If the test is passed, all is well and the unit can declare charge reactions normally. If the test is failed, the unit must make a Flee! charge reaction. Note that, if the target unit is not allowed to take any charge reaction (if, for example, the Terror-causing unit charged as a result of a pursuit or a random move), then the target does not take this test.

If a unit wishes to declare a charge against an enemy that causes Terror, it must take a Psychology test to overcome its terror first. If the test is failed, it may not declare the charge against the Terror-causing unit, but may choose to declare a charge against another unit following the rules for Redirecting a Charge. If the Psychology test is passed, the unit may declare the charge as normal.

The model can make a Stomp in addition to its other close combat attacks. A Stomp has Always Strikes Last, and inflicts D6 (or D3 against lone Infantry models and skirmishers) automatic hits, at the model's S, on one enemy Infantry, War Beasts or Swarm unit in base contact with the model.

When charging, units entirely made of models with Swiftstride and M 7 or higher roll 3D6, discard the lowest result, and add the result to their M value. When fleeing or pursuing, they roll 3D6, rather than 2D6.

When charging, units entirely made of models with Swiftstride and M 6 or lower roll 2D6, and add the result to their M value. Whenfleeing or pursuing, they roll 3D6, and discard the lowest result.

Swiftstride has no effect on models using a M value lower than 4.

Swiftstride M6 or lower
Charging: M + 2D6
Failed Charge: 2D6
Fleeing/Pursuing: 3D6 (discard the lowest)

Swiftstride M7 or more
Charging: M + 3D6 (discard the lowest)
Failed Charge: 3D6 (discard the lowest)
Fleeing/Pursuing: 3D6

A model with Magic Resistance gains a bonus to dispel enemy spells directly targeting it (not including templates that are placed on top of it) as well as a Ward save against damage caused by spells. This bonus is based on the number shown in brackets after Magic Resistance.

If a character with Magic Resistance joins a unit, all models in the unit benefit from the Magic Resistance as long as they are part of the unit. If a model or unit has two sets of Magic Resistance, the two combine to a maximum of Magic Resistance (3), unless specified.

If a model with Killing Blow rolls a 6 to wound in close combat, they automatically slay their opponent – regardless of the number of wounds on the victim's profile. Armour saves and regeneration saves cannot be taken against a Killing Blow. Ward saves may be taken as normal.

Killing Blow is only effective against Infantry, Cavalry and War beasts. Against Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry and Monsters, a successful Killing Blow only inflicts one Wound which Ignores Armour saves. Against other troop types, it has no effect.

Note that if a Killing Blow attack wounds automatically, then Killing Blow does not come into play. Unless otherwise specified, Killing Blow applies only to close combat attacks.

For the purposes of combat resolution, successful Killing Blows score the same amount of Wounds as the slain model had remaining until the point of the Killing Blow was inflicted.

Unless specified, Killing Blow only applies to the model's normal Close Combat attacks.

All models with Daemonic have Fear, Immunity (Poisoned Attacks, Psychology), Magical Attacks (including all weapons) and Ward save (5+) (except mounts). In addition, they are also subject to the following special rule:

Daemonic Instability: When a unit of Daemons loses a combat it must take a special kind of Break test called a Daemonic Instability test, instead of taking a normal Break test. To do this, use the following procedure:

1) Calculate combat result as normal and roll 2D6.

2) If the dice roll is a double 1 or double 6, something unexpected happens:

Double 1 Reality Blinks: All Wounds suffered by the unit this Close Combat phase, including any Wounds suffered by characters that have joined it, are restored, and any models removed as casualties in this phase immediately return to play in their earlier positions. Wounds restored in this manner still count as having been inflicted for the purposes of combat results.

Double 6 Banished! Remove the unit from play as a casualty.

3) Now (assuming the unit has not been wiped out when resolving a double 6) apply the difference in combat results as a penalty to the Daemons' LD characteristics. For every point by which the 2D6 roll exceeds this modified LD value, the unit suffers one additional Wound, with no saves of any kind allowed.

If characters are present in the unit, the controlling player first allocates Wounds to the unit (up to their current Wounds), then divides remaining Wounds as equally as possible amongst any characters. Once all Wounds have been allocated, the penalty to the Daemons' LD is discounted. They can, be rerolled if the battle standard is within 12", use the General's Inspiring Presence rule, and/or be tested on unmodified LD if the unit is Stubborn or Steadfast. If a Daemonic unit somehow is Unbreakable, it takes no Daemonic Instability test.

All Daemons of Khorne within 12" of a Bloodthirster may re-roll 1's To Wound and gain Fight in Extra Ranks (1).

Daemons of Khorne have Hatred (Daemons of Slaanesh) and Magic Resistance (1) and Strength Bonus (1).

They treat Daemons of Tzeentch and Nurgle as Suspicious Allies, and Daemons of Slaanesh as Desperate Allies.

Flying units consisting of more than one model have Skirmishers.

Moving Flyers
Flight is represented by a swoop equal to the number in the brackets instead of using the model's normal M value. Note that any equipment or rules that affect the model's regular M will also affect its Fly move, unless specified. The flyer starts off on the ground, takes off, flies to where it wishes to go, and then lands. Flyers, therefore, begin and end their movement on the ground.

Units made up entirely of models that can fly can move or charge normally on the ground, using their M value, or instead choose to fly. A unit that flies can move over other units and terrain as it does so, treating the entire move as taking place over open ground. It may not finish the move on top of another unit or in impassable terrain. Models that Fly can make a flying charge over intervening units and terrain as long as they can draw Line of Sight to their target as normal. A unit that makes a flying charge does so using its Fly move as its M characteristic, using Swiftstride.

Flying March
A unit that is flying can march as normal, doubling its
flying move.

Flee and Pursue
Flyers always move on the ground when attempting to
flee or pursue.
