Dauntless Defenders At the start of the first battle round, select two objectives to be your foundations. Place a circular foundation marker in each one. When you draw a line from the closest part of one foundation marker to the closest part of the other, if any part of a model’s base (or any part of a model’s hull, for a model without a base) crosses that line, that model’s unit is said to be on your defensive line.
While an **IMPERIAL KNIGHTS** unit from your army is on your defensive line, that unit has the Against the Horde ability.
Sustained Hits This ability always takes the form **[SUSTAINED HITS X]**. Each time an attack made with a **[SUSTAINED HITS]** weapon results in a **critical hit**, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by **X**.
***Example:** An attack made with a **[SUSTAINED HITS 2]** weapon results in a **critical hit**. That attack therefore hits the target three times (once from the **critical hit**, and twice more from the **[SUSTAINED HITS 2]** ability).*
