Burn it down!
Whenever a unit of Tarkans moves within 6" of a building or forest they may set it on fire

For the rest of the game, every unit within that building or forest will take D6 Flaming S 4 hits at the start of every turn for as long as they remain there.

Tarkans may also throw their torches 6" against war machines and chariots. Roll to Hit as if they were using a throwing weapon. War machines and chariots take D3 S 4 hits for every torch that hits.
Cowardly Despoilers
Units with this rule gain +1 To Hit in the first round of combat if they successfully charge an enemy in the rear or flank. However, if they are themselves charged at all, they suffer a -1 to their Combat Resolution bonus in the first round of combat instead. This rule applies to the Hobgoblins themselves, including any Hobgoblin character in the unit, but not to their wolves.
Treacherous Gits
Models with this rule must test for Treachery at the beginning of each of your turns. Roll a D6. If you roll 2 or more, the unit has passed the test and may fight normally. If the dice roll is 1 then the unit has been affected by Treachery.

To determine what the unit does roll a D6 and consult the Treacherous Gits Table. Note that you do not need to test if the Hobgoblins are already engaged in close combat, fleeing, have pursued a unit of the table or are waiting in Ambush.
Fast Cavalry
Vanguard
Fast Cavalry automatically have Vanguard.

Free Reform
Unless it charges, Fast Cavalry is allowed to reform twice during its move without losing any Movement; once before they move, and at the end of their move. The unit may do this even if it marches, provided that no model ends up moving a number of inches higher than double its Movement value.

Fire & Flee
A unit of Fast Cavalry armed with missile weapons can choose Fire and Flee as a charge reaction. If it chooses to do so, the unit will first fire upon the target following the rules for Stand & Shoot. After this, the unit makes a flee move. However, it may not use its Swiftstride if it does so, and the normal -1 To Hit penalty for moving and shooting still applies.

Feigned Flight
A unit of Fast Cavalry that chooses Flee or Fire & Flee as a charge reaction does not cause Panic from fleeing through friendly units and automatically rally in its next Compulsory Movement Phase (unless it is forced to Flee again from another source). In addition, it is then also free to move during the remaining moves part of the Movement phase. The unit is also free to shoot as normal (but always counts as having moved). Note that if the flee move of the Fast Cavalry does not take them beyond the charge reach of their enemies, the unit suffers casualties as normal.

Fire on the March
Fast Cavalry armed with missile weapons are experts at shooting from horseback and can therefore shoot during a turn in which they marched or reformed (providing their weapon doesn't have Move or Fire). However, the normal -1 To Hit penalty for moving and shooting still applies.

Characters
A character model that joins a unit of Fast Cavalry gains Fast Cavalry as long as they stay with the unit. Characters may only join Fast Cavalry with the same Troop Type as them.

Armour Saves
Units containing one or more models with a close combat armour save better than 5+ and/or barding cannot use Fast Cavalry.
Flaming Attacks
Models with Flaming Attacks cause Fear in War Beasts, Cavalry, Chariots and Flammable creatures. Any Panic test taken by any of these Troop Types from a Flaming Shooting Attack suffer -1 to their LD when taking the test.

Unless otherwise stated, a model with this special rule has both Flaming shooting and close combat attacks (though any spells cast by the model are unaffected, as are any attacks made with magic weapons they might be wielding).
