Immunity (Psychology) Models with Immunity ignore the effects of the rule(s) in the brackets. Note that the model only ignores the effects of the rule itself unless the attack is also listed as being non-physical. The physical attack still causes damage as normal.
Immunity can also include Panic, Fear and Terror. If the majority of the models in a unit have the Immunity (Panic, Fear or Terror) rule, the unit ignores the effects of Panic, Fear or Terror and any such tests it would otherwise had to take.
Models that are Immune to all three above effects have Immunity (Psychology). This also includes automatically passing any Psychology tests they might need to take (such as many spell effects or special rules that would otherwise force a unit to take a Psychology test). However, they may never choose Flee! as a charge reaction (except when using Feigned Flight or Fire & Flee, unless they also have Frenzy).
Mixed Unit A Mixed Unit most often consist of two different Troop Types, with one or more handlers that drive the rest of the unit forward. The handler(s) may be deployed in the rear rank of the unit. Mixed Units cannot be joined by characters, unless specified.
If a Mixed unit is required to take a characteristic test, this is done using the characteristics of the unit itself, not the handlers. The only exception is LD tests, which are taken using the unit’s highest LD value. When the models in a unit with Mixed Unit have different M allowances, the handlers M value is ignored, unless they are the only models remaining. Any rules that the unit might have do not apply to the Handlers unless specified – ignore the handlers completely in those cases.
As long as the unit (but not the handlers) have a unit strength of 5 or more, any missile hits are resolved against the unit itself. At less than unit strength 5, the controlling player decides who is hit, but must allocate one hit on each model before they can add a second hit on a model; they must allocate two hits on each model before they can allocate a third, and so on. Hits from templates are resolved against the handlers as normal. In close combat, the handlers can only be attacked by models who are in base contact with them.
