If the Phoenix Lord is leading a squad of their Aspect, the whole squad becomes Fearless. Phoenix Lords cannot join Aspect Warrior squads not of their Aspect. Note that if a squad has two of the same Exarch power, they are not cumulative.

When the Night Fighting mission special rule is in use, such models may choose to re-roll the test to determine how far they can see, but must abide by the new result. Characters with this rule confer it onto any unit they join, as long as they are part of the unit. Units with this rule confer it onto any characters joining them, as long as they are part of the unit.

The model is immune to the effects of the Instant Death rule.

Fearless troops automatically pass all Morale and Pinning tests they are required to take, and will never fall back. They can however go to ground voluntarily. This special rule is gained by any independent character joining a fearless unit. However, as long as a fearless character stays with a unit that is not fearless, he loses this special rule. If a unit that is falling back suddenly gains this rule, it will automatically regroup at the beginning of its next Movement phase, regardless of all normal restrictions on regrouping.

Note: units with the Fearless ability are subject to the No Retreat! rule.

A unit with this rule may assault in the same turn in which it has run.

Independent characters follow the Movement rules for models of their type, be it infantry, jump infantry, bike, etc. In addition, independent characters can move through difficult terrain more quickly and safely than ordinary troops. All independent characters have the ‘move through cover’ and ‘skilled rider’ special rules. This advantage does not extend to any vehicles they may be travelling in.

Independent characters are allowed to join other units. They cannot, however, join vehicle squadrons (see the Vehicles section) and units that always consist of a single model (like most vehicles and monstrous creatures). They can join other independent characters though, to form a powerful multi-character unit!

The enemy may not make cover saves against shots from the Exarch, and the Exarch may re-roll any failed to wound rolls when shooting.

The Exarch may add +1 to the number of shots fired by his weapon (for example, Heavy 2 becomes Heavy 3). Fast Shot may not be used by an Exarch in the same turn as he used Crack Shot.
