Rules (11) Hunter's Strike If Karandras is held in Reserve, he automatically arrives at the start of the controlling player's second turn. When he arrives from Reserve, he can move on from any table edge. If Karandras joins a unit of Striking Scorpions during deployment, and no other characters join the unit, all models in that unit also benefit from this special rule. Fearless Units containing one or more models with the Fearless special rule automatically pass Pinning, Fear, Regroup tests and Morale checks, but cannot Go to Ground and cannot choose to fail a Morale check due to the Our Weapons Are Useless rule. If a unit has Gone to Ground and then gains the Fearless special rule, all the effects of Go to Ground are immediately cancelled. Eternal Warrior If a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved Wound from an attack that inflicts Instant Death, it only reduces its Wounds by 1, instead of automatically reducing its Wounds to 0. Independent Character Independent characters can join other units. They cannot, however, join units that contain vehicles or Monstrous Creatures. They can join other Independent Characters, though, to form a powerful multi-character unit! Independent Characters pass Look Out, Sir rolls on a 2+. A unit that contains one or more Independent Characters does not need a double 1 to Regroup if reduced to below 25% of its starting numbres, but instead tests as if it had at least 25% remaining.
Full details in BRB. Rule too long to copy verbatim. Fleet A unit composed entirely of models with this special rule can re-roll one or more of the dice when determining Run moves and charge ranges (such as a single D6 from a charge range roll, for example). Strength from Death Whenever a unit is completely destroyed within 7" of one or more non-vehicle units that consist only of models with this special rule, pick one of those units to make a Soulburst action. You cannot pick a unit that is locked in combat, Falling Back, or that has Gone to Ground. A unit making a Soulburst action can do one of the following, even if it has already done so in this turn:
* The unit can immediately move as if it were your Movement phase.
* The unit can immediately shoot (or Run or Turbo-boost) as if it were your Shooting Phase.
* The unit can immediately make a charge move as if it were your Charge sub-phase (if they do so, enemy units can fire Overwatch as if it were your Charge sub-phase). A unit that makes a charge in the Fight sub-phase does so at the end of the current Initiative step, and once they have charged, the Initiative steps continue to resolve as before (including for models in the charging unit).
A unit can only make a Soulburst action once per turn. 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. Stealth A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule counts its cover saves as being 1 point better than normal. Note that this means that a model with the Stealth special rule always has a cover save of at least 6+, even if it is in the open. This rule is often presented as Stealth (X) where X indicates a specific type of terrain, such as Stealth (Woods) or Stealth (Ruins). If this is the case, the unit only gains the benefit whilst it is in terrain of the specified type. Cover save bonuses from the Shrouded and Stealth special rules are cumulative (to amaximum of a 2+ cover save). Shadowstrike If a unit that consists entirely of models with this special rule infiltrates, it has the Shrouded special rule. If the unit shoots (including Overwatch) or fights in combat, it loses the Shrouded special rule. Night Vision A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule ignores the effects of Night Fighting. Move Through Cover A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule rolls an extra D6 when rolling to move through difficult terrain and is not slowed by charging through difficult terrain. In most circumstances, this will mean that, when moving, the unit rolls 3D6 and picks the highest roll. Furthermore, a model with the Move Through Cover special rule automatically passes Dangerous Terrain tests.
