Rules (5)
Poisoned Blood
Roll a D6 whenever the Vishkanya loses a Wound in Close Combat. On a 6, the model who inflicted the Wound suffers a Wound themselves.
Scouts
Before starting deployment, a unit with Scouts can choose to not deploy at the start of the battle. Scouts are set up after all other non-Scout units from both armies have been deployed, and do not count toward determining who finished deploying their army first. They can be set up either in their controlling player's deployment zone as normal, or anywhere on the battlefield more than 12" away from the enemy. If deployed in this second way, Scouts cannot declare a charge in the first turn if their side goes first.

Note that a character may only join a unit deploying with Scouts if they also have the same rule.

If both players' armies contain Scouts, players should roll off. The players then alternate deploying their scouting units one at a time, starting with the player who won the roll-off.
Natural Armour (6+)
The hide of some creatures forms a kind of natural armour that grants the model an armour save. The resulting armour save will be stated in brackets. Natural Armour can be combined with other armour as normal.
Hidden
Hidden models can choose to deploy "hidden" within another friendly ranked unit, either the unit it belongs to (determined in each army list) or in other separate units (the army book in question will state which units) – make a note of which unit is concealing the hidden model(s).

A hidden model is not placed on the table during deployment, but is revealed later during the game. If the concealing unit is wiped out or flees from the battlefield before the hidden model is revealed, the hidden model counts as a casualty. There is no other way a hidden model can be harmed before they are revealed.
Hidden models may be revealed at the beginning of any of your Movement phases, or at the start of any Close Combat phase. Declare that the unit contains a hidden model and place the model in the front rank of that unit, displacing models as you normally would if a character had joined the unit.
A model with this special rule cannot be your army General. Furthermore, other units can never use their Leadership value.
Poisoned Attacks
A model with Poisoned Attacks gains a +1 modifier to any To Wound rolls. Armour saves are modified by the Strength of the attack as normal.

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