Ganeshan

Ganeshans may re-roll failed rolls of 1 when rolling To Hit, To Wound, and when taking armour saves and Ward saves.

The number of Impact Hits is shown in brackets after the rule. If a creature is granted two sets of Impact Hits, use the highest set, rather than a total, before rolling. If a unit contains more than one model that inflicts a random amount of Impact Hits, always roll separately for each model.

Impact Hits are only made on the turn the model makes a successful charge into close combat, and only against the unit the model has charged. Impact Hits are resolved at the very beginning of the close combat, before challenges are issued and attacks of any other kind are made. They hit a unit in base contact and are randomised as Automatic Hits. If the model is in base contact with more than one unit, randomise the Impact Hits between them as evenly as possible. If the model with Impact Hits is not in base contact with the enemy, no Impact Hits are inflicted.

Impact Hits roll to wound using the S of the model making the Impact Hits. Any armour saves taken are done using the close combat value of the armour, and Parry saves may not be taken. Any Wounds caused by Impact Hits are counted towards combat resolution. 

Unless specified, any rules that apply to the model’s normal attacks do not apply to its Impact Hits.

All units with Deva are subject to the following: Immunity (Psychology), Fear, Magical Attacks, Ward save (5+), Hatred (Daemons of Chaos).

When Devas lose a combat they must take a special kind of Break test called a Divine Corporeality test. In multiple combats, each Deva unit must test separately. Use the following procedure to take a Divine Corporeality test:

Calculate combat resolution as normal and roll 2D6. Compare the dice roll to the Devas' LD value, taking into account any modifiers for combat resolution. For each point the unit fails its Corporeality test by, the unit suffers one additional wound. No saves of any kind are allowed against these wounds, including Ward saves, regeneration, etc. If characters are present in the unit, the controlling player first allocates wounds to the unit (up to their current Wounds), then divides the remaining wounds as equally as possible amongst any characters.

Devas cannot use the General’s Inspiring Presence or the Battle Standard’s Hold Your Ground, but may use the LD of any Character with Deva within 12". Deva characters may not be Generals. In addition, units of Devas may never be joined by any characters without Deva.

A unit containing one or more Fear-causing model gains +1 to their Combat Resolution bonus. If the Unit Strength of all Fear-causing models is double or more, the Combat Resolution bonus is increased to +2. Note that the bonus from Fear is otherwise not cumulative for having multiple units with the Fear special rule involved in the same combat.

If the majority of the models in a unit cause Fear, they also gain Immunity (Fear), and thus the Combat Resolution bonus is ignored for that unit.

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
