Daemonic Instability
Cannot join (or be joined by) models without this special rule. Automatically pass Fear, Pinning, and Morale tests.

When a unit with the Daemonic Instability special rule loses an assault, it takes a Daemonic Instability test at the Check Morale step of the Fight sub-phase. This uses the following procedure:

1) Take a Leadership test. if the dice roll is a double 1 or double 6, the Daemon's presence fluctuates:
  Double 1 - Reality Blinks: All Wounds suffered by the unit this phase are restored. Any models from this unit killed this phase return, in coherency, at least 1" from enemy models. If the returning modell's unit is locked in combat, the model Piles In.
  Double 6 - Banished!: Remove the entire unit from play as casualties. If locked in combat, the enemy consolidates. 

2) Now, if a double 1 or double 6 wasn't rolled, compare the roll to the Daemon's Leadership, including modifiers. For each point they fail by, the unit sufffers an additional Wound, with no saves of any kind.
Deep Strike
Deep Strike Mishap Table: D6 Roll

1: Terrible Accident! - The entire unit is destroyed!

2-3: Misplaced - Your opponent may deploy the unit anywhere on the table (excluding impassable terrain, but including difficult terrain, which of course counts as dangerous for Deep Striking units), in a valid Deep Strike formation, without rolling for scatter. Units embarked on a misplaced Transport can disembark during their Movement phase as normal.

4-6: Delayed - The unit is placed in Ongoing Reserves.
Infiltrate
Units that contain at least one model with this special rule are deployed last, after all other units (friend and foe) have been deployed. If both sides have Infiltrators, the players roll-off and the winner decides who goes first, then alternate deploying these units.

Infiltrators can be set up anywhere on the table that is more than 12" from any enemy unit, as long as no deployed enemy unit can draw line of sight to them. This includes in a building, as long as the building is more than 12" from any enemy unit. Alternatively, they can be set up anywhere on the table more than 18" from any enemy unit, even in plain sight.

If a unit with Infiltrate deploys inside a Dedicated Transport, they may Infiltrate along with their Transport. 

A unit that deploys using these rules cannot charge in their first turn. Having Infiltrate also confers the Outflank special rule to units of Infiltrators that are kept as Reserves.

If a unit has both the Infiltrate and Scout special rule, that unit can deploy as per the Infiltrate special rule and then redeploy as per the Scout special rule.
Swarms
If, when allocating Wounds to a unit with the Swarms special rule, two or more models could be chosen as the closest enemy, the closest enemy is always the model with the least number of Wounds. If a model with the Swarm special rule suffers an unsaved Wound from a Blast (any size) or Template weapon, each unsaved Wound is multiplied to two unsaved Wounds unless that Wound has the Instant Death special rule. However, a unit entirely composed of models with the Swarm special rule is not slowed by difficult terrain, but must test for Dangerous Terrain as normal.
