Models with this rule always strike first in close combat, regardless of I. If a model with this rule is fighting an enemy with the same ability, the model with the higher I will strike first.

If Sceolan is included in your army, one Core Unit of your choice may deploy using Ambushers.
A unit with the Ambushers rule can choose to not deploy at the start of the battle. Instead, from Turn 2 onwards, the controlling player rolls a dice at the start of their turn for each unit of their Ambushers that have yet to arrive. On a 1 or 2, the Ambushers have been delayed – roll for them again next turn. On a 3 or more, the unit of Ambushers arrives, and will enter the board during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. If the Ambushers do not turn up for the entire game, they are assumed to have got lost, and are treated as having fled the battle for the purposes of determining the victor.
Arriving Ambushers enter the battlefield from any point on any battlefield edge, and move on using the rules for reinforcements. Note that a character may only join a unit deploying with Ambushers if they also have the same rule.
In addition, for every Core unit that deploys as Ambushers in your army, you are required to include at least one other Core Unit that is not Expendable (described later in this chapter) and that does not deploy using the Ambushers rule (for more information, see the Choosing Your Army chapter).

If the Unit Strength of all Fear-causing models is double or more, the Combat Resolution score is increased by +2. Note that the bonus from Fear is otherwise not cumulative for having multiple units with Fear involved in the same combat.
If the majority of the models in a unit cause Fear, they also gain Immunity (Fear), and thus the Combat Resolution bonus of their Fear-causing enemies is ignored for that unit.
At the start of each round of close combat in which they are fighting, models with this rule choose one of the following Animal Forms, the effect of which lasts until the end of that turn or until a new form is chosen. This is done before Impact Hits are resolved. All Alters in the same unit must choose the same form. Alters cannot choose the same Animal Forms in two consecutive rounds of combat.
Animated Constructs have Immunity (Poisoned Attacks) and Unbreakable. However, they may not march.
Units with this rule must roll a D6 and consult the animosity chart in the Charge sub-phase after all other charges have been declared, unless they have declared a charge, are already in combat, fleeing, or have less than 5 models.
Animosity is represented by an Animosity test. This test is taken in the Charge sub-phase after all normal charges has been declared during each of your turns, by every unit that is subject to Animosity, with the following restrictions:
• Units only test if they contain at least 5 models.
• Units that have declared a charge don't test.
• Units engaged in close combat don't test.
• Units garrisoning a building don't test.
• Units fleeing or currently off the battlefield don't test.
Roll a D6 for each eligible unit. If the dice roll is a 2 or more, the unit behaves normally this turn. If the roll is a 1, however, the unit has failed its Animosity test and must roll on the Animosity table and apply the result immediately.

A Slann Mage-Priest can choose to cast any magic missile or direct damage spell through an Arcane Vassal within 24" of him. If he does so, measure the spell's range from the Arcane Vassal and use that model's forward arc and line of sight for the purposes of casting the spell. If using an Arcane Vassal, a Slann Mage-Priest can cast magic missiles, even if his own unit is engaged in close combat (provided that the Arcane Vassal's is not). If a spell cast through an Arcane Vassal is miscast, the result of the miscast is applied to the Slann Mage-Priest, but the Arcane Vassal suffers a S 3 hit.
At the end of each friendly turn, nominate a Jungle Swarm unit within 6" of each Bastiladon with an Ark of Sotek and roll a D6. On a 4+, add one base to the Jungle Swarm unit.

If a Malfunction result is rolled, this only applies to the current and the next Artillery dice rolled (if this is the third Artillery dice rolled this turn, the first Artillery dice the next turn is wasted).

This cannot be used to move the Vanguard troops within 12" of the enemy. A Vanguard move does not count as moving for the purpose of shooting in the first turn.
If both players' armies contain Vanguard troops, players should roll off. The players then alternate moving their Vanguard units one at a time, starting with the player who won the roll-off.
Units that have made a Vanguard move cannot declare a charge in the first turn if their army goes first. This also includes charging in the Magic phase.
If a character is deployed as part of a unit with Vanguard, that unit can still make its Vanguard move if the character in question has Vanguard or is a model on foot. Otherwise the character’s presence prevents the unit from using Vanguard.

Thanquol has Ward Save (4+). For every wound Thanquol saves, one friendly model within 6" (owning player's choice) takes a wound instead. Normal saves apply. If no friendly model is within 6" the wound fails to deflect anywhere and is ignored.
The Sons of Manann gain +1 to Hit in the first round of close combat.
Priests of Ulric may channel power and dispel dice in the same manner as a Level 1 Wizard.
All models in a unit that contains an Anointed of Asuryan have the Immunity (Psychology) special rule and may re-roll Ward save results of 1.

At the start of the Amazon turn, the Avatar of Rigg may choose one of the Blessings to bestow. Each blessing affects all friendly units within 12", and lasts until the start of the next Amazon turn.
Priestesses of Shallya know three Prayers. Prayers are innate bound spells (power level 3). All Prayers are augment spells. In addition, the Priestess may channel Power and Dispel dice just like a Level 1 Wizard.
A Wizard that has this rule, and is within 6" of a forest, adds +1 to all attempts to cast and dispel spells.
Blessings of the Kami are innate bound spells (power level 4). All Blessings are augment spells with a range of 12". The effects of each Blessing lasts until the start of the next Nippon Magic Phase.
However, if a unit with an active Blessing flees for any reason, they immediately lose the Blessing and suffer D6 S 4 hits.
Whenever the Knights declare a charge, roll a D6. A roll of 1 means the Blinding Light cannot be used this charge. On a 2+, the enemy unit being charged are at -1 WS and BS for the duration of the turn.
Whenever the Knights declare a charge, roll a D6. A roll of 1 means the Blinding Light cannot be used this charge. On a 2+, there is enough sunlight for the Knights to dazzle their enemies as they charge. The enemy unit being charged are at -1 WS and BS for the duration of the turn.
Any enemy unit in base contact with one or more Frostheart Phoenixes suffers -1 to its S (to a minimum of 1). This has no effect on models with Immunity (Ice Attacks).
You may take 1-2 Bloated Corpses as a single Core choice.
Once the Carnosaur has inflicted an unsaved Wound, it immediately becomes subject to Frenzy. Furthermore, the Carnosaur never loses its Frenzy.
One use only. The Blood of Hashut can be used in close combat instead of attacking normally that turn. It targets a single model in base contact. The attack works on a 2+. If a 1 is rolled, the Blood of Hashut is wasted.
If the attack is successful, then D6 automatic hits are inflicted on the target. The To Wound score of these hits is always equal to the unmodified close combat armour save of the target (excluding Natural Armour). Attacks from the Blood of Hashut have Ignores Armour Saves, Flaming Attacks and Magical Attacks.
Whenever a unit of Norse makes a successful charge (including Pursuit and Overrun), the unit is subject to Frenzy in the following first round of close combat.

Lotl-Botl has Fear in any turn whenever he charges.
Keep a count of the number of times Skarr Bloodwrath kills an opponent in a challenge or kills a monster – this is referred to as the Blood Tally. If he is removed as a casualty as a result of anything other than Spawndom or Dark Apotheosis, mark his position with a counter. At the end of the turn, roll a D6 and add the current total of the Blood Tally. If the result is 1-3, this rule has no further effect. If the result is 4+, Skarr is reborn: place Skarr anywhere within 6” of the centre of the counter and at least 1" away from any unit and impassable terrain, then reset the Blood Tally to 0. If it is not possible to place Skarr, Skarr is not reborn. Skarr returns to play with D3 Wounds, and suffers no bonuses or penalties incurred from his former existence. For example, if Skarr was fleeing or affected by an augment or hex spell at the time of his death, the reborn model will not be. However, any bonuses or penalties conferred as a result of Skarr rolling on the Eye of the Gods table do remain in effect.
Slaughterpriests know two Prayers. Bloodfuelled Prayers are innate bound spells (Power Level 4). In addition, Slaughterpriests get +1 to cast for each unsaved Wound they caused in close combat in the previous turn.
If a model with Bloodgreed is on the winning side in a round of close combat it immediately gains Frenzy. If already Frenzied, then each time it is on the winning side of a round of close combat, the model gains an +1 Attack, up to a maximum of +3. These bonus Attacks are lost if the model loses its Frenzy. However, models with Bloodgreed cannot use Swiftstride when pursuing and overrunning.

You may take 1-2 Bolt Throwers as a single Special choice.

During the Remaining Moves sub-phase, models with this rule may drop a bomb unless they are fleeing or have declared a charge that turn. To make a Bombing Run, select one unengaged enemy unit that the Gyrobomber moved over in that turn and place the large 5" template anywhere over the target unit (but note that it cannot cover friendly models) and roll for scatter and damage as for a stone thrower. If a misfire is rolled, use the Bomb Misfire chart.
After resolving the damage caused by a grudge buster bomb, roll a D6. On a 4+, the bomb scatters D6" from where it first landed (a Hit! result remains in place). Place the small round (3") template on the new location and resolve damage using the profile above. It cannot bounce a third time.
To determine what happens in each Close Combat phase, pick a unit in base contact with the Bonegrinder Giant and roll a D6 on one of the tables. Which table you use depends on the size of the Bonegrinder Giant's victim. Use the Man-sized Things Chart when fighting Infantry, Cavalry, War Beasts or Swarms. Use the Big Things Chart when fighting monstrous beasts, monstrous infantry, monstrous cavalry, chariots and war machines. Use the Bigger Things Chart when fighting anything with

Breath of Change is a Breath Weapon. Any models hit must pass a T test or be removed from play with no saves of any kind allowed.
Shordemaire has a S 3 Breath Weapon with Ignores Armour Saves.
S 4, Flaming Attacks.
A model with a Breath Weapon can use it to make a special attack once per shooting or close combat phase. A model with two or more different Breath Weapons must choose which one they want to use. The form that this special attack takes depends on whether or not the creature is in close combat. In the event that a model has more than one Breath Weapon attack, it is permitted to attempt to use only one in a single turn.
However, after each Breath Weapon has been used the first time, roll a D6 before attempting to use it again in later rounds. On 4+, it may be used as normal. On a 1- 3, the model is literally out of breath, and cannot use its Breath Weapon this round. It may choose to attack normally in close combat instead.
Note that Breath Weapons are not physical attacks, and certain models may be Immune to the effects of some Breath Weapons. However, all Breath weapons have Ignore Cover.
Breath Weapon Shooting Attack
Provided the model is not in close combat, it can use its Breath Weapon during its Shooting phase. A Breath Weapon shooting attack can be made even if the model marched or reformed during the same turn, but it cannot be used as a Stand and Shoot charge reaction.
To perform the attack, place the flame template so that it lies entirely within the model's forward arc, with the narrow end touching the model's base, and so that it is not touching any friendly units or enemy units that are in close combat. All models that are even partially under the template are automatically hit, following the normal rules for the flame template.
Breath Weapon Close Combat Attack
If the model with this special rule is in close combat, it can use the Breath Weapon instead of using its normal attacks. A model that makes a breath weapon attack in this way inflicts 2D6 automatic hits (resolved like shooting) on a single enemy unit in base contact – if there is more than one enemy unit in base contact with the model, the controlling player chooses which enemy unit suffers the hits. Note that no single model in the target unit may be Hit more than once from the same breath weapon attack – any excess hits are ignored. As with breath weapon attacks made in the Shooting phase, the Strength and any special effects of the creature's Breath Weapon will be covered in its rules. Wounds caused by a Breath Weapon in close combat count towards combat resolution.
If a Flammable model is attacked with a Flaming Attack, all failed To Wound rolls made by the attackers may be re-rolled.
Once per turn, Takai Katsuyori may attempt to issue one of the following commands to a friendly unit within 12" that is not fleeing or in combat. This unit must take a LD test; if failed, the command has no effect this turn. If passed, the command works as intended.
If Ungrim is included in your army, one unit of Troll Slayers or Giant Slayers may be upgraded to the Brotherhood of Grimnir for 1 point per model. These Slayers have the Wards of Grimnir upgrade.
Ungrol must deploy with a unit of Ungors, and may never leave it. Ungrol and his unit may re-roll failed Primal Fury tests when in combat against units from the Empire, Bretonnia and Beastmen army books. However, Ungrol's unit may not use the Army General's LD, and no other characters may join the unit.
Any army that includes Bugman can upgrade a single unit of Rangers to be Bugman's Rangers. If this is done, Bugman must join the unit and cannot leave it. Bugman’s Rangers have S 4 and cost an additional +2 points per model.
The Herders may light the Bulls at the start of the Movement phase. When the Bulls are released, you may choose the direction in which they travel, and the point on the concealing unit from which they start. Fire Bulls move 3D6" using the rules for Random Movement.
After release, the Fire Bulls have Immunity (Psychology) and are treated as individual units from their Herders. In your subsequent turns they move in the Compulsory Moves sub-phase using Random Movement, but they always move in a random direction.
If the Fire Bulls' move would bring them into contact with another unit, then they move through rather than stopping. If the Fire Bulls' move would end within a unit, then they automatically move through it — place the Fire Bulls 1" beyond the unit, in the direction they were moving. When a unit of Fire Bulls moves through a unit (friend or foe), each Bull inflicts a S 5 hit with Flaming Attacks.
Any unit that moves into contact with the front arc of a unit of Fire Bulls suffers a S 5 hit for each Fire Bull in base contact. These are resolved like Impact Hits in the close combat phase if the Fire Bulls are charged, or immediately in case a unit flees through them.
When suffering casualties from shooting or magic, the Herders follow the rules for allocating hits on unit Champions. If the Herders are killed before they have released the bulls, the bulls are removed as casualties. Herders never count for the purposes of Victory Points.
Burlok's artificial arm gives him +1 Attack with S 6 in close combat.
Whenever a unit of Tarkans moves within 6" of a building or forest they may set it on fire
For the rest of the game, every unit within that building or forest will take D6 Flaming S 4 hits at the start of every turn for as long as they remain there.
Tarkans may also throw their torches 6" against war machines and chariots. Roll to Hit as if they were using a throwing weapon. War machines and chariots take D3 S 4 hits for every torch that hits.
The Inquisitor, and any unit joined by him, is subject to Hatred. In addition, when fighting Wizards, Undead, Chaos or Skaven, he may re-roll all failed rolls To Wound.
Scaarac has a Breath Weapon Attack with S 5 and Ignores Armour Saves.
From the second game turn onwards, at the start of each of your turns a T test must be made for each K'daai unit (roll once for each unit). If this is failed they suffer D3 Wounds with no save of any kind possible, distributed as per a shooting attack.
At the beginning of your turn, if the Hellcannon is not in combat, take a LD test. If the test is failed, the Hellcannon is then subject to Random Movement (3D6) until the beginning of the next turn, and must move towards the nearest enemy unit. If the Hellcannon would get destroyed as a result of it being Unstable, treat this as rolling a 1 on the misfire table.
At the beginning of your turn, if the Hellcannon is not in combat, take a LD test. If the test is failed, the Hellcannon to is then subject to Random Movement (3D6) until the beginning of the next turn, and must move towards the nearest enemy unit.

The Dread Maw has two additional Chomp Attacks. These Chomp Attacks have Killing Blow and Multiple Wounds (D6).
Hidden models can choose to deploy "hidden" within another friendly ranked unit, either the unit it belongs to (determined in each army list) or in other separate units (the army book in question will state which units) – make a note of which unit is concealing the hidden model(s).
A hidden model is not placed on the table during deployment, but is revealed later during the game. If the concealing unit is wiped out or flees from the battlefield before the hidden model is revealed, the hidden model counts as a casualty. There is no other way a hidden model can be harmed before they are revealed.
Hidden models may be revealed at the beginning of any of your Movement phases, or at the start of any Close Combat phase. Declare that the unit contains a hidden model and place the model in the front rank of that unit, displacing models as you normally would if a character had joined the unit.
A model with this special rule cannot be your army General. Furthermore, other units can never use their Leadership value.
Quick to Fire, Killing Blow
Quick to Fire. Multiple Shots (2).

The Chuck Wagon is placed in the second rank of a unit of Pantry Guards and must stay with the unit at all times.

If an enemy unit captures an unguarded Chuck Wagon, it is automatically destroyed, and gives the enemy an additional 100 Victory Points.
The Chuck Wagon gives all Halflings within 12" "Hold Your Ground!". If a Master Chef accompanies the Chuck Wagon by being in the same unit, the range is increased to 18". In addition, any unit accompanied by a Chuck Wagon is Stubborn.

All Corsair models always treat Sindibadu as the Army's General for all purposes, regardless of what character is actually the Army General.
This breath weapon works similarly to determining the effects of a cannon shot. The maximum range of the attack's target point is 12" away from the monster and may be treated just like a normal breath weapon. After the target point has been selected, roll the Artillery dice to create a line of effect for the blast travelling in a straight line away from the dragon (using the line template). A Misfire result should be re-rolled. Any model caught in the line of the blast suffers D3 wounds with a S equivalent to 10, minus the target's T score, with Ignores Armour saves and Magical Attacks.
A unit where the majority of the models have this rule can declare to use Counter-Charge as a charge reaction (including Frenzied units) if they are charged to the front by an enemy that is more than its M value away from the Norse unit.
Before the enemy roll their charge distance, the Norse unit must take a LD test. If failed, treat the charge reaction as a Hold. If passed, the Norse unit moves 2D3" forwards using Random Movement, but stopping within 1" of any enemy unit. They may also use any Quick to Fire weapons they might have before they move.
The enemy unit then rolls their charge distance and complete the charge as normal. If the charge is successful, then both units will count as charging in the ensuing combat phase.
Khargrim always counts as charging in the first round of close combat.
For every Close Combat Attack that fails To Hit against Malik, he may make an additional Attack back at that model.
Brother Valdemar and any unit he joins gains Immunity (Fear).

A unit of Fatemasters is considered to be a Level 2 Wizard that knows the spells Blue Fire of Tzeentch and Pink Fire of Tzeentch from the Lore of Tzeentch. This doesn’t prevent other friendly Wizards from knowing the same spells. Each time the unit casts a spell (or is targeted by a rule that affects a Wizard), you must nominate one Fatemaster or Doomsayer as the caster for the purposes of line of sight, range, etc. In the event of a Fatemasters unit rolling a miscast, do not roll on the Miscast table. Instead, the unit suffers D3 Wounds with no saves of any kind allowed.
If you have a Caskets of Souls on the table at the start of your Magic phase, you add D3 power dice to your pool. For each additional Casket, you may add an additional power dice.
Units with this rule gain +1 To Hit in the first round of combat if they successfully charge an enemy in the rear or flank.

Unlike other cavalry, Spider Riders do not have to dismount before assaulting a building, meaning the Giant Spiders are allowed to attack during the assault. Each Spider Rider and his mount count as a single model when determining the number of models that fight in a building assault. Note that Spider Riders still cannot garrison a building.

Models with Strider will normally have a subset of Strider that is mentioned in the brackets. The rule only applies in terrain of the specified type. Models with Strider treat that piece of terrain as open ground for the purposes of Movement, meaning they ignore any M penalties or Dangerous Terrain tests otherwise caused by it. Note that they still follow the rules for that terrain type in terms of combat.
Once during the battle, at the start of your turns, you can set up a Venom Thicket (see the Warhammer Rulebook) within 3" of Horticulous Slimux and more than 1" away from any other model or terrain feature.

As soon as a model with this rule is reduced to 1 Wound he gets a Ward save (3+) for the rest of the battle. This has no effect on attacks that would outright kill him before he is reduced to 1 Wound, like a spell or attack with Multiple Wounds. If he were to suffer multiple Wounds in a single phase, roll one save at a time (if he has any) for each Wound suffered until his Ward save takes effect.
If the Khemric Titan is slain by any means, all enemy units within 6" from suffer 2D6 S 2 hits which Ignores Armour saves.

A unit of Doomfire Warlocks is considered to be a Level 2 Wizard that knows the spells Soulblight and Doombolt. This doesn't stop other Wizards from knowing those same spells. The unit receives an additional +1 to cast for each rank of 5 or more models in the unit, after the first, to a maximum of +3. Each time the unit casts a spell, you must nominate one Master of Warlocks or Doomfire Warlock as the caster for the purposes of line of sight, range, etc. In the event that a Doomfire Warlock unit rolls a miscast, do not roll on the Miscast table. Instead, the unit suffers D3 Wounds with no armour saves allowed. If the unit is targeted by a rule that affects a Wizard, your opponent must choose one Master of Warlocks or Doomfire Warlock as the target.
If it is possible for a Rogue Idol to charge an enemy it must do so (however if multiple targets are within charge range, its player may pick which to attack). At the start of any turn that a Rogue Idol is not able to charge or is not already in combat, its player must roll a D6. On a roll of a 1 it must instead charge a friendly unit if one is available to charge, and a single round of combat is fought as normal, after which the Rogue Idol is pushed 1" back if the charged unit does not break. If no friendly units are available to charge the Rogue Idol may do nothing this turn.
Gorbad must be army's General, and he also has the "Hold Your Ground" ability like a Battle Standard. In addition, the range of Gorbad's Inspiring Presence and Hold Your Ground! Abilities is increased from 12" to 18". Note that you may not choose a separate Battle Standard in an army that includes Gorbad.

All models with Daemonic have Fear, Immunity (Poisoned Attacks, Psychology), Magical Attacks (including all weapons) and Ward save (5+) (except mounts). In addition, they are also subject to the following special rule:
Daemonic Instability: When a unit of Daemons loses a combat it must take a special kind of Break test called a Daemonic Instability test, instead of taking a normal Break test. To do this, use the following procedure:
1) Calculate combat result as normal and roll 2D6.
2) If the dice roll is a double 1 or double 6, something unexpected happens:
Double 1 Reality Blinks: All Wounds suffered by the unit this Close Combat phase, including any Wounds suffered by characters that have joined it, are restored, and any models removed as casualties in this phase immediately return to play in their earlier positions. Wounds restored in this manner still count as having been inflicted for the purposes of combat results.
Double 6 Banished! Remove the unit from play as a casualty.
3) Now (assuming the unit has not been wiped out when resolving a double 6) apply the difference in combat results as a penalty to the Daemons' LD characteristics. For every point by which the 2D6 roll exceeds this modified LD value, the unit suffers one additional Wound, with no saves of any kind allowed.
If characters are present in the unit, the controlling player first allocates Wounds to the unit (up to their current Wounds), then divides remaining Wounds as equally as possible amongst any characters. Once all Wounds have been allocated, the penalty to the Daemons' LD is discounted. They can, be rerolled if the battle standard is within 12", use the General's Inspiring Presence rule, and/or be tested on unmodified LD if the unit is Stubborn or Steadfast. If a Daemonic unit somehow is Unbreakable, it takes no Daemonic Instability test.
Models with this rule have Fear and Magical Attacks. In addition, models that are not mounts also have Immunity (Poisoned Attacks), Ward save (5+) (except mounts) and Unstable.
A Verminlord has Unstable and Ward Save (5+). In addition, it can never be the Army General.

Vangheist must include a unit of 10-30 Damned Crew which cost 12 points per model. He must join this unit and may never choose to leave it during the battle. The Damned Crew are equipped with two hand weapons and have Ethereal and Undead.
Models with this rule have Dodge (4+) against Close Combat attacks. In addition, at the start of each round of close combat, each unit with this special rule chooses one enemy unit in base contact. That unit gains no Rank Bonus and cannot make Parry saves this turn.
Wychwethyl can use the Dance of Doom instead of his normal Shadow Dances. If he does so, he gains +1 A for every enemy model in base contact with him.
Dechala may pick one of the following dances at the start of each round of close combat, the effect of which lasts until the end of that turn or until a new dance is chosen. She cannot choose the same dance in two consecutive rounds of combat.

In addition to Drycha's normal attacks, she can also make two types of special attacks with the Colony of Flitterfuries and the Swarm of Squirmlings.
For each successful To Hit roll by Syll, Esske may reroll one failed To Hit roll the same phase.
The Reaper causes D6+2 Impact hits.
Whenever a unit comprised wholly of models with this rule is required to take a Break Test, they may choose to do so using 3D6, discarding the highest dice. However, if this test is failed, you must remove the entire unit as a casualty. The enemy then cannot pursue or overrun, but may reform as normal.
A Death Shriek is a special attack that can be used against a single unit in the Shooting phase, even if the Terrorgheist has marched, charged, or is engaged in close combat. This attack has a range of 8" and needs line of sight to its target. If the Terrorgheist is engaged in combat, its Death Shriek may target a unit in base contact.
To resolve a Death Shriek, roll 2D6 and add the number of Wounds the Terrorgheist has left. For each point by which the result exceeds the target unit's LD, the target unit suffers 1 Wound with no armour saves allowed. A Death Shriek is a Magical Attack and Wounds suffered from it are distributed as from shooting.
If a Slayer is killed by normal Close Combat Attacks, it will immediately make a single Attack back against the unit or model that killed it before the Slayer is removed as a casualty.
Before rolling To Hit, nominate one of the Necrosphinx's Attacks to be made with the Decapitating Strike ability, and roll it separately. This special Attack strikes at S 10 and has Heroic Killing Blow.
Models with this rule do not suffer penalties To Hit for Moving and Shooting. In addition, when using ‘flee’ as a charge reaction, Hobgoblins may Stand & Shoot before making their flee move.

Roll a D6 for each Hit Jora suffers, on a 4+, Bjorn steps in to protect her; resolve the Hit against him instead. If Jora is slain, Bjorn becomes Frenzied and Unbreakable. If Bjorn is slain, then Jora becomes Unbreakable and Hates the unit that killed him.
A unit of Sisters of the Thorn is considered to be a Level 2 Wizard that knows the spells Shield of Thorns (Lore of Life) and Curse of Anraheir (Lore of Beasts). This doesn’t prevent other friendly Wizards from knowing the same spells. The unit receives an additional +1 to cast for each rank of 5 or more models it has, after the first, to a maximum of +3. Each time the unit casts a spell (or is targeted by a special rule that affects a Wizard), you must nominate one Sister or Handmaiden of the Thorn as the caster (or target) for the purposes of line of sight, range, etc. In the event of a Sisters of the Thorn unit rolling a miscast, do not roll on the Miscast table. Instead, the unit suffers D3 Wounds with no saves of any kind allowed.
You may not have more units of Deepwood Scouts than you have units of Glade Guard.
If Tyrion is your army's General, his Inspiring Presence has a range of 18".
Set up the stakes at the start of the game when the unit is deployed. Every model in the front rank has a stake base placed in front of it (these stakes must also be set up within the army's deployment zone).
Defensive Stakes are treated as Defended Obstacles, and remain on the table during the game. All Troop Types apart from Infantry and Swarms suffer D6 S 4 hits on the turn that they charge a unit behind Defensive stakes. In addition, enemy models in base contact with the Defensive Stakes suffer -1 to Hit in the first round of close combat. These rules only apply when fighting the unit’s front.
The Deff Creepers are a unit of Forest Goblin Spider Riders with Ambushers, Devastating Charge and Hatred (Empire). In addition, they cause Fear in any turn that they successfully charge into combat. Snagla must set up with this unit and may not leave it. No other character may join the unit.
Sigrun, and any unit of Shieldmaidens that she joins, has Stubborn.
Iron Daemons ignore terrain classified as Obstacles and do not suffer D6 wounds for moving through Dangerous Terrain, except Rivers and Marshland, which are treated as Impassable terrain.
A unit with an attached Warp. grinder is not deployed at the beginning of the game, but instead uses the following rules:
During deployment, but before Scouts, place a tunnel marker anywhere on the battlefield. The unit will then deploy like Ambushers. When the team emerges, roll a scatter dice and an artillery dice. If you roll a hit on the scatter dice, the marker stays in place; if you roll an arrow, move the marker the number of inches indicated by the artillery dice in the direction shown by the arrow. If the marker is moved off the tabletop, the team and its parent unit are considered lost; treat them as casualties. If you roll misfire, roll on the Warp-grinder Mishap chart.
Once the final position is established, place the Warpgrinder and its parent unit so both can touch the marker. If the marker is under a friendly unit or impassable terrain, place it next to the closest edge of the unit/terrain. They may face in any direction.
If the marker is under an enemy unit when the Warpgrinder and its parent unit emerges, the Warp-grinder and its parent unit are both considered to have charged. Place the attacking Skaven to the front of the enemy unit that is atop the marker.
The Warp-grinder fights in close combat using its crew's I, but not their Attack profile. Instead it uses the Weapon profile.
Prince Apophas cannot join any units, and he cannot be your army's General. When rolling to enter the table using the Entombed Beneath the Sands special, you may re-roll the Artillery dice.
Each enemy standard bearer that is removed as a result of a successful pursuit move or slain in combat by a unit of Bestigors adds +1 to their future Combat Resolution. If the unit flees for any reason, they will lose this bonus.
If Jaffar is in your army, he must be the General. All friendly units within 12" of Jaffar may re-roll failed Psychology tests as they are under his watchful eye. However, units that are outside his Inspiring Presence range suffer a -1 to their LD due to their unwillingness to fight for him.
Every friendly unit with a Caste within 12" of the Shaivi gains Frenzy.
When the Land Ship loses its last wound roll a D6. On a roll of a 1, it suffers the effects of the Abandon Ship! result on the Land Ship Calamity table and on a 6 the Boom! result. On any other roll, the Land Ship is removed as normal.

All units with Deva are subject to the following: Immunity (Psychology), Fear, Magical Attacks, Ward save (5+), Hatred (Daemons of Chaos).
When Devas lose a combat they must take a special kind of Break test called a Divine Corporeality test. In multiple combats, each Deva unit must test separately. Use the following procedure to take a Divine Corporeality test:
Calculate combat resolution as normal and roll 2D6. Compare the dice roll to the Devas' LD value, taking into account any modifiers for combat resolution. For each point the unit fails its Corporeality test by, the unit suffers one additional wound. No saves of any kind are allowed against these wounds, including Ward saves, regeneration, etc. If characters are present in the unit, the controlling player first allocates wounds to the unit (up to their current Wounds), then divides the remaining wounds as equally as possible amongst any characters.
Devas cannot use the General’s Inspiring Presence or the Battle Standard’s Hold Your Ground, but may use the LD of any Character with Deva within 12". Deva characters may not be Generals. In addition, units of Devas may never be joined by any characters without Deva.
Dibbukim are subject to Frenzy. They must always be placed in the front rank along the Command Group, but attacks may be allocated against them as if they were Characters.
If Borgio is reduced to zero wounds, roll a D6. On a 1-3, he is removed as a casualty as normal. On a 4+, he stands back up again with a single wound remaining. Note that this ability cannot be used against attacks that kill the model outright.
When the Colossal Squig's random movement brings it into contact with a unit, either friend or foe, it will attack it normally as if it were an enemy, and counts as charging that unit. This combat will continue until resolved normally.
At the start of the Chaos Dwarf turn, Acolytes of Hashut may select one of the Dirges to sing, the effects of which they benefit from until their next turn.
When it is their turn to attack, a unit with this rule may attempt to blind or distract the enemy once per close combat phase. Roll a D6; on a 4+ the distraction is successful. The enemy unit will then suffer -1 to their WS for the remainder of the turn. Roll the rest of your attacks as normal afterwards.
After each round of combat is fought, the Sneaky Gits may Fight in an Extra Rank each turn for as long as they are in combat with that enemy. So after one turn they fight in one additional rank, after two turns they fight in two additional ranks, and so on.
If the Thunderbarge is destroyed it scatters 3D6" in a random direction and then crashes to the ground. Place the large template with the hole under its final position. Any model touched by the template suffers a S 6 hit.
Janissaries have Immunity (Panic) and may roll 3D6, discarding the highest dice, when taking LD tests to Redirect Charges, Restrain Pursuit, March and Reform.
All enemy Wizards within 18" of an Infernal Enrapturess whose casting roll contains any double suffers a S 4 Hit for each double rolled.
The White Dwarf has Hidden. However, if the unit he is Hidden in is wiped out or flees then the White Dwarf will be revealed, and will stand his ground even though the rest of the unit may be fleeing or slain. Place the model in the middle of the front rank of the unit, then move/remove the rest of the unit as normal. The White Dwarf will then operative as a lone character as normal. The White Dwarf may never be the army's General, but units he joins may still use his LD once he is no longer Hidden.
Friendly units within 6" of a unit of Knights of the Black Rose suffer -1 to their LD.
Knights Encarmine cannot receive rank bonuses.
Quick to Fire weapons do not suffer the usual -1 To Hit penalty for moving and shooting. In addition, Quick to Fire weapons can always be used to Stand and Shoot against a charging enemy, even if that enemy would normally be too close for such a charge reaction to be declared.
Furthermore, Quick to Fire weapons may be used once per turn when declaring a charge (unless they are also Move or Fire), immediately after the enemy unit has declared their charge reaction (but before moving any units). If the enemy unit chose to Stand & Shoot or Fire & Flee, both units will fire at the same time. Quick to Fire weapons can be used this way even if the unit starts its charge outside their weapons' maximum range – the shooting is resolved normally assuming the enemy is just within maximum range of the shooting unit's shortest-ranged weapon. If the charge fails, for whatever reason, we assume that the chargers closed to within the weapons' maximum range first. Any shots fired in this manner suffer a -1 To Hit penalty.
Friendly units with Way of the Warrior and Wako Pirates treat each other as Desperate Allies.
Priestesses of Myrmidia may channel power and dispel dice in the same manner as Wizards.

The model can avoid the Drop Attack by passing an I test. If the model is successfully picked up, it is then either dropped to the ground, or it may be dropped over another unengaged enemy unit that the Roc moves over in that turn. That target unit immediately suffers D6 S 4 hits, distributed as Hits from shooting. The dropped model is automatically removed as a casualty with no saves allowed.
Once per game, during the Remaining Moves sub-phase, the unit may drop rocks unless they are fleeing or have declared a charge that turn. All models in a unit must drop rocks at the same time.
To drop rocks, select one unengaged enemy unit that the Terradons moved over in that turn. That target immediately suffers D3 S 4 hits for each Terradon in the unit, distributed as for shooting attacks.

A unit of Druid Neophytes is considered to be a Level 2 Wizard that knows the spells Awakening of the Wood and Shield of Thorns from the Lore of Life. This doesn't stop other Wizards from knowing those same spells. The unit receives an additional +1 to cast for For every 5 models of Druid Neophytes in the unit, to a maximum of +3. Each time the unit casts a spell, you must nominate one Druid Neophyte or Draidecht as the caster for the purposes of line of sight, range, etc. In the event that a Druid Neophyte unit rolls a miscast, do not roll on the Miscast table. Instead, the unit suffers D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour saves. If the unit is targeted by a rule that affects a Wizard, your opponent must choose one Druid Neophyte or Draidecht as the target.

You may equip Golgfag with magic items from the Warhammer Rulebook with a total points value that is equal to or less than the result.

The items chosen do not count against Golgfag's points value or the total points value of the army.

used against enemies that attack before the model with
Elven Grace.
Elven Longbows follow the rules for Longbows. All shots with these weapons have Armour Piercing (1).
Longbow. All shots with this weapon has Armour Piercing (1).
During the Movement phase, instead of moving normally or declaring a charge, the Phoenix may declare an Emberstorm attack. Draw a straight line up to 18" in length. Each model in the way of this line (determined as for a bouncing cannonball) suffers a S 5 hit with Flaming Attacks.
After these hits are resolved, place the Phoenix at the line's end point. If this leaves the Phoenix in contact with an enemy unit, then place the Phoenix in combat with the unit, using the line along which it moved to determine which facing of the enemy unit the Phoenix is attacking. If the Phoenix ends an Emberstorm attack in combat with an enemy unit then it is treated as having charged that unit.
Every model in base contact with a Fenhulk must take a Dangerous Terrain test as if they are moving through Marsh Terrain at the start of the first round of close combat, before Impact Hits are resolved.
Pu-Yi must be the army’s General. Units may use his Inspiring Presence if they are within 18" rather than the normal 12". In addition, the Emperor and the unit he is with gain Immunity (Psychology).
Any unit with Way of the Warrior joined by Empress Himiko becomes Unbreakable as long as she is in it. In addition, she benefits from a 3+ "Look Out, Sir!" roll in close combat.
Any fleeing friendly Arabyan unit within 12" of Layla will rally automatically. If she is killed, all friendly Arabyan units will get Hatred against the model or unit responsible for her death.
Any model, friend or foe, in base contact with Morathi at the start of each round of close combat must pass a LD test or suffer a -5 penalty to their WS (to a minimum of 1) until the end of the round. This does not affect attacks that do not roll To Hit (such as Impact Hits), nor does it affect models that have the Immunity (Psychology) special rule.
Should a Preyton be on the winning side of a close combat then in order to pursue its foe it must first pass a LD test. If this test is failed then it will not pursue and instead remains stationary. Enemy units within 12" and with line of sight to the Preyton must take a Panic test in the face of the beast's horrific display.
Magical Attacks. Ensorcelled hand weapons follow the rules for hand weapons in all respects.
Magical Attacks.
A unit with this ability has Ambushers, with the following exceptions.
When these units enter the battle in the Remaining Moves sub-phase, they do not move onto the board as reinforcements in the normal way. Instead, when a unit that is Entombed Beneath the Sands enters the battle, place a small marker (such as a coin) anywhere on the battlefield, but not in impassable terrain or within 1" of a deployed unit.
Roll a scatter dice and an artillery dice. If you roll a Hit on the scatter dice, the marker stays in place. If you roll an arrow, move the marker the number, in inches, indicated by the artillery dice in the direction shown. If the marker is under a friendly unit, impassable terrain or a building, place it 1" away from the closest edge of the unit/terrain.
Once the final position of the marker is established, place the emerging unit in a legal formation such that it touches the marker, facing any direction. If the marker is under an enemy unit, you may place your unit into base contact with the enemy unit in their front arc; your unit will counts as charging this turn.
If you roll a misfire, or if for any reason some of the models in the unit cannot be placed, then the unit does not emerge. Instead, remove the marker and roll on the Mishap table. If a unit emerges successfully, it may act normally this turn.
Only characters that have Entombed Beneath the Sands can be deployed within such units. If you have several units Entombed Beneath the Sands, then repeat this process, one unit at a time.
Up to one unit with the troop type war machine can be entrenched for each Master Engineer in the army. An entrenched war machine is treated as being in hard cover when shot at and any charging models suffer a -1 To Hit modifier in close combat. An entrenched war machine can be pivoted to fire, but if it moves in any other way, the entrenchment is lost. If the war machine is destroyed, the entrenchment is considered destroyed as well. A war machine can only be entrenched once.
Models that cause Terror also cause Fear. In addition, the following rules apply. Fear-causing models or models with Immunity (Fear) treat Terror-causing monsters as causing Fear, rather than Terror – this is an exception to the rule that makes Fear-causing creatures immune to Fear. Terror-causing models have Immunity (Fear/Terror).
Run for Your Lives!
If a Terror-causing creature declares a charge, the target unit must immediately take a Panic test. If the test is passed, all is well and the unit can declare charge reactions normally. If the test is failed, the unit must make a Flee! charge reaction. Note that, if the target unit is not allowed to take any charge reaction (if, for example, the Terror-causing unit charged as a result of a pursuit or a random move), then the target does not take this test.
If a unit wishes to declare a charge against an enemy that causes Terror, it must take a Psychology test to overcome its terror first. If the test is failed, it may not declare the charge against the Terror-causing unit, but may choose to declare a charge against another unit following the rules for Redirecting a Charge. If the Psychology test is passed, the unit may declare the charge as normal.
All normal Attacks made by a Khemrian Warsphinx with this upgrade have Poisoned Attacks.
Models with this rule have Hatred, but may re-roll failed To Hit rolls every round of close combat, not just the first.
Drycha has Hatred which applies in every round of close combat, not just the first.
If Lord Kroak joins a unit of Temple Guard, all models in the combined unit gain Unbreakable.
Chakax must always issue a challenge, and can never refuse one. When fighting in a challenge, Chakax re-rolls all failed rolls To Hit.
Ethereal creatures treat all terrain as open terrain for the purposes of movement. They may not finish their movement inside impassable terrain. They are never slowed by any special rule, spell or item that would otherwise reduce their movement or stop them from moving completely.
Models with rule have both Magical Attacks and Unstable. Ethereal models have a 2+ Ward Save against mundane attacks. However, they only have a 5+ Ward save against magical attacks. Ethereal creatures block line of sight normally and cannot see through anything that would block the line of sight of normal units. Characters that are not themselves Ethereal are not permitted to join units that are (even if they become temporarily Ethereal for some reason).
At the end of each combat Melandra is in, before Break tests are taken, she may choose to move out of combat. Place her anywhere within 1" of the enemy unit she was fighting. She may move as normal in her next turn.
At the start of each enemy turn (before any Stupidity tests are taken) you can nominate D3 enemy units that are within 18" of Greasus to have Stupidity for the remainder of the turn. This ability has no effect on units that have Immunity (Psychology).
At the beginning of the owning player's Magic phase, after the total number of power dice for that phase has been determined, roll all the power dice in the pool. If any of these dice roll a 6, a portion of the power it represents is siphoned into the Black Coach. Power dice that are 'siphoned' by the Black Coach in this fashion can be used in the Magic phase as normal, though keep a note of how many are siphoned in this way. If you have more than one Black Coach in your army, randomly determine which Black Coach gains each siphoned dice. Each dice increases that Black Coach's abilities for the rest of the game. All of the increases listed are cumulative.
During the Shooting phase, the Exalted Flamer can shoot either Pink Fire or Blue Fire. These do not have Move or Fire. If a misfire is rolled when resolving Pink Fire or Blue Fire, the Exalted Flamer suffers D6 S D6 hits with Flaming Attacks.
If you include Skweel Gnawtooth in your army, you must also include a unit of Giant Rats that he must join. After deploying Skweel into his unit, roll a D6 and consult the Exceptional Pack Chart to determine the pack's special attributes. The effects are for the entire pack but do not affect Skweel, Packmasters or Master Moulders. Skweel will never leave his special pack and may never join another unit.
Badruk has Killing Blow. In addition, he causes a Killing Blow on the To Wound roll of a 5+ rather than a 6.
Any friendly units within 6" of a unit of Knights of Sigmar's Blood may re-roll any failed Fear, Terror or Panic tests.
Ogglethorpe may empty these spices into any Hot Pot within 3" of him at the start of each Shooting phase. Each use of Exotic Spices increases the S of any hits taken from the Hot Pot by +1 for that shot.
Models with this rule do not cause Panic to friendly units that are not Expendable themselves. Characters may not join a unit with this rule, unless specified.
For every Core unit with Expendable rule in your army, you are required to include at least one other Core Unit without Expendable. For more information on this, see the Choosing Your Army chapter.
Each Snotling base can make a single shooting attack in its Shooting phases, and as a stand and shoot reaction. An Explodin' Spore is a Throwing Weapon, hitting automatically and Ignores Armour saves.
Instead of firing normally, a Dragon Cannon can fire Explosive Ammunition.
Place the centre of small template where the cannon ball lands, and resolve damage as if it were a Stone Thrower. No Bounce roll is made.
A Slaughterbrute with this upgrade gains +2 A with S 5.
Enemy models in base contact with the Great Unclean One at the start of any close combat phase suffer a Wound on the roll of a 5+ which Ignores Armour saves. This has no effect on Animated Constructs or Daemons of Nurgle.
Models with this rule can never refuse a challenge and, if possible, must always issue one. If there are several models with this rule involved in a combat, the controlling player chooses which will issue/accept the challenge.
In addition, if a model with this special rule kills an enemy character or destroys a non-Expendable unit in either close combat, with spells, or through charging/pursuing, immediately make a 2D6 roll on the Eye of the Gods table. If there is more than one character in the unit at the time of the destruction of the enemy unit through pursuit, each character gets to make a separate roll. Once the result of the roll has been determined, make a note on your army roster – that model now has that reward for the rest of the battle. A model can have several rewards, and it can even have the same reward multiple times. If, for any reason, a reward cannot be applied, the result is instead treated as a ‘The Eye Opens’ result. Note that the model itself must cause the last unsaved Wound on an enemy model to claim the kill. If an enemy model suffered multiple Wounds simultaneously, randomise between the sources to determine which caused the final Wound.
A Diestro must always issue and accept Challenges.
A unit of 5 or more Sisters of Sigmar follows the rules for Divine Power and Battle Prayers. For every additional 5 models in the unit, they may add +1 to their casting result.
Brother Valdemar and any unit he joins may re-roll failed Break tests.
The Fakir is placed at the back of the Snake Swarm unit as a separate model, and follows the rules for Champions, though he may not be challenged in Close Combat. If the Fakir is killed, the Snake Swarms in that unit will automatically flee off the table unless engaged in close combat, in which case they fight on as normal. Should the Snake Swarm later be unengaged, they will flee immediately using the rules above.
Skaw may use his 3 Falcons in addition to another missile weapon during the start of the Shooting phase. The Falcons can be directed against any enemy unit within line of sight, regardless of range. The enemy unit must take a WS test for each War Hawk targeting them; if failed, the unit takes a S 3 Hit.
In close combat, the birds give Skaw an additional 3 A that are resolved at WS 4, S 3 and I 4. These attacks no not benefit from any rules or items that Skaw might have.
Infantry models with this rule may deploy as Ambushers, and get +1 To Hit in close combat when attacking enemies in their flank or rear (excluding mounts). You may not have multiple Tribal Affiliations in the same army.
A Giant must test to see whether it falls over if any of the following apply:
If it is beaten in close combat. Test once results are established but before taking a Break test.
If it is fleeing at the start of the Movement phase.
When it crosses an obstacle. Test when the obstacle is reached.
If the Giant decides to Jump Up and Down on an enemy. Test immediately beforehand.
To see if a Giant falls over roll a D6. On a roll of 1, the Giant falls over. A slain Giant falls over automatically.
To determine in which direction the Giant falls, roll a scatter dice. Place the large template in base contact with the Giant in the direction of the scatter dice, measured from the centre of the Giant's base. A model hit by the falling Giant suffers 3D6 S 8 Hits that have Multiple Wounds (D6), though no single model may suffer more than 1 Hit – any excess Hits are ignored. If the unit is in combat and the Giant has fallen over whilst attempting to Jump Up and Down, wounds inflicted by a falling Giant count towards the combat result.
A Giant that falls over automatically suffers 1 wound. If the Giant is in combat then this wound counts towards combat resolution.
Once on the ground a Giant may get up in his following Movement phase, but may not move that turn. Whilst on the ground a Giant may not attack, but he can still defend himself after a fashion so the enemy must still roll to score hits on him. If forced to flee whilst on the ground the Giant is slain. If the Giant gets the opportunity to pursue his foes whilst he's on the ground he stands up instead. A Giant may attack in close combat as usual on the turn he stands up..

Place the small template in base contact with the Giant in the direction of the scatter dice, measured from the centre of the Giant's base. A model hit by the falling Giant suffers 2D6 S 6 Hits that have Multiple Wounds (D3), though no single model may suffer more than 1 Hit – any excess Hits are ignored. If the unit is in combat and the Giant has fallen over whilst attempting to Jump Up and Down, wounds inflicted by a falling Giant count towards the combat result.
A Giant that falls over automatically suffers 1 wound. If the Giant is in combat then this wound counts towards combat resolution.

A Giant may attack in close combat as usual on the turn he stands up.
When a Colossal Squig is removed as a casualty, every model in base contact with it suffers an automatic S 3 hit.
If Drycha is reduced to 1 Wound, she gains Frenzy. She automatically loses Frenzy if she is
healed back to her starting number of Wounds.
Vanguard
Fast Cavalry automatically have Vanguard.
Free Reform
Unless it charges, Fast Cavalry is allowed to reform twice during its move without losing any Movement; once before they move, and at the end of their move. The unit may do this even if it marches, provided that no model ends up moving a number of inches higher than double its Movement value.
Fire & Flee
A unit of Fast Cavalry armed with missile weapons can choose Fire & Flee as a charge reaction. If it chooses to do so, the unit will first fire upon the target following the rules for Stand & Shoot (this also counts as moving and shooting). After this, the unit makes a flee move. However, it may not use its Swiftstride if it does so.
Feigned Flight
A unit of Fast Cavalry that chooses Flee or Fire & Flee as a charge reaction does not cause Panic from fleeing through friendly units and may re-roll failed rally tests in its next Compulsory Movement Phase (unless it is forced to Flee again from another source). In addition, it is then also free to move during the remaining moves part of the Movement phase. The unit is also free to shoot as normal (but always counts as having moved). Note that if the flee move of the Fast Cavalry does not take them beyond the charge reach of their enemies, the unit suffers casualties as normal.
Fire on the March
Fast Cavalry armed with missile weapons are experts at shooting from horseback and can therefore shoot during a turn in which they marched or reformed (providing their weapon doesn't have Move or Fire). However, the normal -1 To Hit penalty for moving and shooting still applies.
Characters
A character model that joins a unit of Fast Cavalry gains Fast Cavalry as long as they stay with the unit. Characters may only join Fast Cavalry with the same Troop Type as them.
Armour Saves
Units containing one or more models with an unmodified close combat armour save better than 4+ cannot use Fast Cavalry.
When Gorduz is reduced to his last Wound, he gains Ward save (4+).
Conor has Ward save (3+) against all attacks except successful Killing Blows.
Should Ghorros be killed, all Beastmen units in the army receive a +1 bonus to their LD when taking Primal Fury tests.
Roll a D3 at the start of the game; this is the number of dice that Phytrion may re-roll of either To Hit, To Wound, Armour Saves or Ward Saves.
One friendly character with either the Knight's Vow, Questing Vow or the Grail Vow may be given the Favour of the Fay before the game starts but after deployment is finished. This model receives +1 To Hit in close combat. However, if the model loses the Blessing of the Lady, then both the Favoured model and the Fay Enchantress suffers a Wound with no saves allowed.
Ar-Ulric gets +1 to channel dice, may re-roll the power dice when casting his Prayers, and may add +1 to the result.
Khorgos Khul may re-roll failed rolls To Hit.
If Sigvald the Magnificent is required to roll on the Eye of the Gods table, do not roll any dice. Instead, he is always counted as having rolled the Dark Fury reward.
Rutger has Hatred (Warriors of Chaos). However, he also treats all models from Warhammer: Warriors of Chaos as causing Fear against him. If they already cause Fear, they now cause Terror instead.
Models with this rule treat models from Warhammer: High Elves, Dark Elves and Wood Elves rule as causing Fear against them.
Models with this rule treat models from Warhammer: High Elves, Dark Elves and Wood Elves as having Fear.
Each To Wound roll of 6 from the Kharibdyss regular Attacks results in that attack inflicting Multiple Wounds (D3).
When the Ammut causes a successful Killing Blow, it regains one Wound lost earlier in the battle.
If Tamurkhan is slain in close combat, a special possession attack is made against the model that delivered the final wound to Tamurkhan. If Tamurkhan's death occurs as a result of shooting or other means, the attack will be made against the nearest eligible model (friend or enemy) within 6". If multiple models fall into this category, Tamurkhan's player chooses which to attack.
Both players roll a D6 and add the WS value of their respective models. If the result is a draw, roll again until one side wins. If Tamurkhan's player wins, the victim is killed outright and their body is possessed. From then onwards, Tamurkhan takes over the victim model, which is detached from its unit and placed l" away from it. The model is now controlled by Tamurkhan's player for the rest of the game exactly as if it were their own character model. Only Infantry and Monstrous Infantry models are eligible to be possessed. Tamurkhan cannot take possession of a model with Animated Construct, Daemonic, Ethereal, Forest Spirit or Vampiric.
The characteristics of the new body possessed body uses the Possessor profile, but with the following changes: -1 M, +1 T, +1 W, -2 I. S and A is equal to the possessed model's stats. Note that any wounds they previously suffered are still in effect. So, for example, if a model has only one wound remaining when it is possessed, it now has two wounds including the +1 for the Possession modifier.
Tamurkhan now uses any weapons or armour the victim had (including magical types), discarding both his own and any other equipment the victim has. Likewise, any ability the victim had as a Wizard is lost. This includes any special rules the victim formerly used other than their unit type, Natural Armour and Regeneration.
If no eligible model is available or the possession attack fails, Tamurkhan is killed outright. Also,
Tamurkhan's power cannot save him if he is destroyed by an attack which causes a model to be slain outright rather than causing wounds.
Tyrion may re-roll any failed rolls to Hit in Close Combat.
In close combat, all attacks made by Powder Monkeys are resolved at S 4 with Armour Piercing (1).
If a friendly unit with the Mark of Khorne is within 3" of Vorgaroth and needs to take a Break test, you can say that Vorgaroth demands unwavering obedience. If you do so, the unit suffers D3 Wounds worth of models, but the unit will count as being Unbreakable for the rest of this phase. If you do not do so, and the Break test for that unit is failed, it suffers D6 Wounds worth of models (after the opponent has decided to pursue or not, but before rolling the flee distance).
Exmelin may be placed in the rear rank of any unit he joins. At the start of his turns, he can try to "tend to" the wounded of his unit. Roll a D3; this is the number of models previously slain during the battle that may be added back into the unit.
The Chimera gains +1 A.
A Dragon has a S 4 Breath Weapon with Flaming Attacks.
The Turtigon have a S 4 Breath Weapon with Flaming Attacks.
A Celestial Dragon has a S 3 Breath Weapon with Flaming Attacks.
A Celestial Dragon has a S 4 Breath Weapon with Flaming Attacks.
A War Hydra with this upgrade has a Breath Weapon with Flaming Attacks. The S of this attack is equal to the War Hydra's remaining Wounds.
If the Phoenix is slain, roll a D6. On a result of a 4+, the Phoenix remains in play with a single wound, and every model in base contact suffers a S 5 hit with Flaming Attacks.
A Khemrian Warsphinx with this upgrade has a S 4 Breath Weapon with Flaming Attacks.
The Templar Crusader and any unit he is with gain Hatred for as long as he remains in the unit.
If a unit has this rule then supporting attacks can be made by one more rank than normal for each number indicated in the bracket. This rule is cumulative with other sources of Fight in Extra Ranks.
All friendly units within 6" of a unit of Chekist may roll 3D6 for their Break tests and discard the highest result. If a friendly unit flees within 12" of a unit of Chekist, they may choose to open fire on that unit with their pistols. If they manage to cause a casualty, the unit will rally immediately after making their flee move.
Any Infantry unit joined by Lorenzo Lupo add +1 to their combat resolution bonus.
The Preyton gains Natual Armour (5+).
Models with this rule roll 3D6 for Panic and Break tests, discarding the highest dice rolled. You may not have multiple Tribal Affiliations in the same army.

You may take 1-2 Firethrowers as a single Special choice.
Belladamma gains +1 to cast and dispel. In addition, every time she suffers an unsaved Wound, roll a D6 if she is within 6" of one more friendly Dire Wolf units. On a 3+, the Wound is allocated to one model in that unit instead of her.
All units of Blood Knights within 12" of Prince Vhordrai may re-roll failed charge distance rolls.
Requires Two Hands. Strength Bonus (2).

Flaming Attacks. Multiple Shots (D6).
The Chimera gains a S 4 Breath Weapon which has Flaming Attacks.
This gives the Great Taurus a S 4 Breath Weapon with the Flaming Attacks.
A Pump Wagon fitted with flappas only has to take Dangerous Terrain tests if they end their move in Dangerous Terrain.
At the end of each round of close combat, Dexcessa can choose to disengage from the combat (before any Break tests are taken). If they do so, they may make a Random Move of 3D6", discarding the highest result. Dexcessa will stop within 1" of any units or impassable terrain, and may turn to face any direction of her choosing at the end of the move.
Flying models follow the rules for Skirmishers. However, they cannot use Feigned Flight, and if they have a Unit Strength above 2 and/or a close combat armour save better than 4+, they cannot use Vanguard.
Moving Flyers
Flight is represented by a swoop equal to the number in the brackets instead of using the model's normal M value. Note that any equipment or rules that affect the model's regular M will also affect its Fly move, unless specified. The flyer starts off on the ground, takes off, flies to where it wishes to go, and then lands. Flyers, therefore, begin and end their movement on the ground.
Units made up entirely of models that can fly can move or charge normally on the ground, using their M value, or instead choose to fly. A unit that flies can move over other units and terrain as it does so, treating the entire move as taking place over open ground. It may not finish the move on top of another unit or in impassable terrain. Models that Fly can make a flying charge over intervening units and terrain as long as they can draw Line of Sight to their target as normal. A unit that makes a flying charge does so using its Fly move as its M characteristic, using Swiftstride.
Flying March
A unit that is flying can march as normal, doubling its
flying move.
Flee and Pursue

Unstable units are Unbreakable, and suffer one extra Wound for every point they have lost of the round of combat by, with no saves of any kind permitted against these wounds. If an Unstable unit would normally be eligible to be Steadfast, they instead suffer 1 less Wound than they would normally do.
Unlike Unbreakable units, Unstable characters may join Unstable units. If an Unstable unit also contains Unstable characters, the controlling player first allocates wounds to the unit, then divides any remaining wounds (if any) as equally as possible amongst the characters.

All City Guard armed with Repeater Crossbows must be placed in the first ranks of the unit, with the City Guard armed with spears being placed in the following ranks. Models armed with Repeater Crossbows and shields cannot make Parry saves. Casualties are removed from the back as normal. Half the models in the unit (rounding down) must replace their spears with repeater crossbows. If shields are taken, they must be taken for the whole 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) must be deployed in the rear rank(s) of the unit, as centrally as possible. 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 special rules that the unit might have do not apply to the Handlers unless specified. Note that if the unit has Expendable, Swiftstride or Vanguard, this also applies to the Handlers.
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.
Unlike other units, each crew model may choose to allocate their missile attack at a different target if they wish. The crew also ignore the Move or Fire of any weapon they carry.
At the start of any phase, the War Wagon may elect to fortify itself by releasing the horses (remove these from the unit, keeping only the base of the War Wagon). If they choose to do so, the War Wagon cannot move for the rest of the game, and will be Unbreakable. For purposes of shooting, the Crew can fire all round.

A character must have the Blessed Spawning of Itzl in order to ride a Horned One.
Models on a Mournfang have a Unit Strength of 6.
Models with Random Movement do not have a M value, but rather a dice roll. This is the distance they move, charge, pursue, overrun and flee – they cannot march. If a model has Random Movement and Swiftstride, then Swiftstride is not used. Note that certain Random Movement rolls can result in the model having a M value higher than 10 – this is an exception to the usual maximum.
Models with Random Movement cannot declare charges, and are always moved in the Compulsory Moves sub-phase. When the model moves, first pivot it about its centre to face the direction in which you wish it to travel. Then, roll the dice shown in the Random Movement brackets. Finally, move the model directly forwards a number of inches equal to the total rolled by the dice. No other pivots can be made.
There's a chance that the model's peculiar movement will cause it to come into contact with an enemy, so measure the distance in a straight line before the model is moved. If the move is found to take the unit’s front arc into contact with an enemy, then it counts as charging, and this is resolved using the normal rules for charges and using the distance rolled as its charge range. Charge reactions cannot be declared against enemies with Random Movement.
If the random move brings the unit to within 1" of a friendly unit or impassable terrain, it stops immediately and cannot move further during that Movement phase.
If two or more models in a unit have the Random Movement, pivot the unit about its centre, then roll the dice only once to determine how for the unit moves. If models in the unit have a different Random Movement value, use the slowest for the entire unit.
A Random Move counts as a "normal" move for triggering a Dangerous Terrain test, unless the model is making a charge, pursuit or flee move, in which case it counts as a move of the appropriate type.
The weapon enables its wielder to fire several shots at a time, rather than a single shot. The number of shots the weapon can fire is stated in brackets. Such weapons can either fire once without penalty, or as many times as indicated in the bracket with a -1 To Hit penalty (in addition to any other modifiers To Hit). War Machines with this rule do not suffer -1 To Hit for firing Multiple Shots.
All models in the unit (excluding characters) must fire either single or Multiple Shots.

War Machines with this rule do not suffer -1 To Hit for firing Multiple Shots.
All models in the unit (excluding characters) must fire either single or Multiple Shots.
Each wound inflicted by an attack with Multiple Wounds (after saves) is multiplied into
more than one wound (remember that a model cannot suffer more wounds than it has on its profile). The exact number of wounds caused will normally be shown in brackets as part of the rule. If a model is granted two sets of Multiple Wounds (like D3 and D6), use only the highest set before rolling.
Where the number of Multiple Wounds is generated by a dice roll, roll a dice separately for each unsaved wound and use the total of all the dice rolled for the final number of wounds inflicted.
Unless otherwise specified, Multiple Wounds only apply to close combat attacks.

"Stand Fast!"
The side that has a musician in its front rank of one or more of its units wins any drawn close combat by 1, unless the opposing side has a musician also, in which case they cancel each other out.
"Form on Me!"
If a fleeing unit has a musician, it may re-roll its LD test whenever it attempts to rally. Fast Cavalry and Skirmishers that have fled using Feigned Flight automatically rallies.
Swift Reform
A unit that is not fleeing and not engaged in combat can make a swift reform during the Remaining Moves sub-phase if it has a musician. A swift reform is treated exactly like a reform manoeuvre, however the following exceptions apply:
A unit performing a swift reform may not change their formation by decreasing or increasing their ranks. The unit may only turn on the spot by pivoting like a lone model.
A unit that has made a swift reform can immediately make a full normal move, even though a reform would normally prevent it from doing so. Note that a unit that carries out a swift reform cannot march.
A unit that has made a swift reform can still shoot, although it will count as moving, whether or not it moves further after the reform has been completed. This means that it will suffer the -1 modifier for moving and firing, and will not be able to shoot Move or Fire weapons.
Skinks and Kroxigors must have the same Blessed Spawning.
While in his Beast form, Radukar may use this ability once per battle at the start of any of your Remaining Moves phases. If you do so, you can add 1 unit of up 2D6 Dire Wolves to your army. This unit enters the table following the rules for Reinforcements.

A unit of Bastethi is considered to be a Level 2 Wizard that knows the spells Djaf's Incantation of Cursed Blades and Ptra's Incantation of Righteous Smiting from the Lore of Nehekhara. This doesn't stop other Wizards from knowing those same spells. The unit receives an additional +1 to cast for each rank of 5 or more models in the unit, after the first, to a maximum of +3. Each time the unit casts a spell, you must nominate one Bastethi as the caster for the purposes of line of sight, range, etc. In the event that a Bastethi unit rolls a miscast, do not roll on the Miscast table. Instead, the unit suffers D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour saves. If the unit is targeted by a rule that affects a Wizard, your opponent must choose one Bastethi as the target.
When it is their turn to attack, roll a D6 for each model armed with nets. On a 2+, one enemy model in base contact is ensnared and suffers -1 Attack (both rider and mount) for the remainder of the close combat phase.
A unit of Night Goblins may be upgraded to include one or more models of Netters. This is represented by including one or more Netter models in the unit. Netters are equipped and may fight like the rest of the unit. At the start of each round of close combat, the Netters must attempt to entangle one of the units they are fighting in their front arc. Roll a D3 for each of the first three ranks of 5 or more models in your unit; the result is the number of enemy models has become entangled (distributed as hits from shooting, but only affecting models that are allowed to strike). However, for each natural 1 rolled on these dice, the Netters have managed to cast the nets amongst their own ranks and entangle a member of their own unit instead. A model that has been entangled suffers a -1 penalty to their A (this applies to both the rider and the mount) until the end of the close combat round.
If Atarus is included in your army; you gain a +1 bonus on the roll to decide who chooses to take the first turn.

A unit that contains one or more models with an Oath Stone can never choose to flee as a charge reaction, cannot be disrupted and, if any of its models are armed with hand weapon and shield, they can make Parry saves against attacks made to their flanks and rear. In addition, the presence of the stone with the unit confers Magic Resistance (1) as its runes act to absorb wild magic. Furthermore, a character with an Oath Stone must always accept a challenge (if your unit contains more than one character with an Oath Stone, you can choose which of them accepts the challenge). However, if a model on an Oathstone fails a Break Test, he is removed as a casualty as he fights to the very last.
Characters cannot join this unit.

Any Hobgoblin unit within 6" of Ghazak may re-roll the initial D6 for Treachery or Hobgoblin Animosity tests. In addition, if Ghazak Khan is your army's General, units of Hobgoblin Wolf Riders count as Core Units.

Models with Random Attacks do not have a normal number for their A characteristic, but rather a dice roll. Each time a model with this rule comes to strike blows, roll the indicated dice, adding any modifiers shown, to determine the number of attacks that the model will make, then roll to hit as normal. If a unit contains more than one model with this rule, always roll separately for each model.

Models with Random Movement do not have a M value, but rather a dice roll. This is the distance they move, charge, pursue, overrun and flee – they cannot march. If a model has Random Movement and Swiftstride, then Swiftstride is not used. Note that certain Random Movement rolls can result in the model having a M value higher than 10 – this is an exception to the usual maximum.
Models with Random Movement cannot declare charges, and are always moved in the Compulsory Moves sub-phase. When the model moves, first pivot it about its centre to face the direction in which you wish it to travel. Then, roll the dice shown in the Random Movement brackets. Finally, move the model directly forwards a number of inches equal to the total rolled by the dice. No other pivots can be made.
There's a chance that the model's peculiar movement will cause it to come into contact with an enemy, so measure the distance in a straight line before the model is moved. If the move is found to take the unit’s front arc into contact with an enemy, then it counts as charging, and this is resolved using the normal rules for charges and using the distance rolled as its charge range. Charge reactions cannot be declared against enemies with Random Movement.
If the random move brings the unit to within 1" of a friendly unit or impassable terrain, it stops immediately and cannot move further during that Movement phase.
If two or more models in a unit have the Random Movement, pivot the unit about its centre, then roll the dice only once to determine how for the unit moves. If models in the unit have a different Random Movement value, use the slowest for the entire unit.
A Random Move counts as a "normal" move for triggering a Dangerous Terrain test, unless the model is making a charge, pursuit or flee move, in which case it counts as a move of the appropriate type.

Only the Beekeepers are deployed on the battlefield initially. In the Shooting phase, the Beekeepers can decide to release the bees. The bags of bees can be thrown up to 8". Place the Bee swarms on the spot you wish to throw them to. This may take them into Close Combat with an enemy.
After the Bees have been released, they will move using Fly in a random direction as determined by the scatter dice. They will engage in combat with any unit they encounter, friend or foe, except other Bee Swarms and Beekeepers. If a Bee Swarm encounters a Beekeeper, they will come under the Halfling player's control and will fight as a normal unit from then on.
Fanatics must be released when an enemy unit comes to within 8" of the concealing unit's Line of Sight. The moving unit stops immediately (fliers land). Once the Fanatic's movement has been resolved, the unit can continue moving if the controlling player wishes, although chargers must complete their charge unless panicked. When a Fanatic is released, you may choose the direction in which it travels, and the point on the concealing unit from which it starts. Fanatics move 2D6" using the rules for Random Movement, measured from the base of its unit. After release, Fanatics are treated as individual units. In your subsequent turns they must move in the Compulsory Moves subphase using Random

At the start of the Remaining Moves sub-phase of your first turn, roll a D6 for each slumbering unit. On a roll of 1-2, nothing happens – roll again next turn. On a roll of 3-6, the unit awakens.

If a unit of Scorpions is charged, all crew will fight in close combat as if the enemy had charged multiple war machines at once. Casualties are always removed from one Scorpion at a time.
Before starting deployment, a unit with Scouts can choose to not deploy at the start of the battle. Scouts are set up after all other non-Scout units from both armies have been deployed, and do not count toward determining who finished deploying their army first.

Sheikh Yadosh rides on the Pay Cart rather than being deployed next to Mydas. He otherwise follows the rules for regular Money Lenders, except that the LD modifier is increased to +D3 rather than +1.
For every successful Parry save made by Sigrun, she immediately gets to make an additional Attack back against the model that struck the blow. This attack does not benefit from the effects of her weapon.
Shieldmaidens may re-roll failed Parry saves.
Shieldbearers should be placed on a 40x20mm base and add +2 to the Unit Strength of any model mounted on them.

Models with this rule may re-roll failed Parry saves.
All models with this rule gain an additional +1 to their armour save against missile attacks to their front and sides from their shields.
The Hunters of Sigmar must re-roll 6's when rolling To Wound and taking armour saves.
Tokudaira Ieyasu must be the army’s General. His Inspiring Presence is 18" rather than the normal 12". An army led by the Shogun ignores the restriction on not allowing multiple Clan Mons in the army.
Enemies attacking models with this rule suffer -1 To Hit in close combat. This only applies to Infantry units.
Multiple Shots (2) (Only applies in turns the model has not moved. Cannot be used as a charge reaction.). Volley Fire.

The Griffon gains +1 to its S in the turns it charges.
The Griffon gains +1 to its S in the turns it charges.
Once per magic phase the Khemric Titan can unleash a Bound spell.
The Juggernaut may never march. When charging, the Juggernaut can only do so in a straight line forward, with no wheeling allowed, and it does not use Swiftstride. Juggernauts cannot overrun or pursue in combat if they destroy or rout their foes.
The crew of the Juggernaut do not suffer penalties for moving and shooting. The Bull Centaur may only fight if the Juggernaut is engaged to its flank or rear. All enemy attacks are directed against the Juggernaut itself, and automatically hit in close combat.
When casting Battle Prayers, Bertha gains a +1 casting bonus to the result.
The Jabberslythe gains Ambushers.
Naestra’s close combat attacks receive a +1 bonus To Wound against models from the Forces of Destruction. Arahan’s close combat attacks receive a +1 bonus To Wound against models from the Forces of Order.
Models with this rule treat Goblins and Snotlings of all types as Expendable.
A Skald counts as a Musician, and may not be the army's General. At the start of the Norse turn, the Skald may choose one of the songs or tales to tell his unit. Each song can only be sung once per battle by the same Skald, and any unit can only be affected by it once per battle, and only one per turn. Each effect lasts until the start of the next Norse turn.
At the start of each of your turns, nominate a single enemy model within 18" of Araloth. That model takes a S 4 hit. If the Wound is unsaved, and the To Wound roll was a 6, the model suffers a -5 penalty to WS, BS, and I (to a minimum of 1) for the rest of the game. A model can only suffer this penalty once.
Skirmish Formation
Skirmishers are deployed in a 'loose' formation, where the models are not placed in base contact, but are positioned roughly 1/2" apart. The models in the unit must still face the same direction and the unit will still have a front, two flanks and a rear. All Skirmishers in a unit do not count as blocking each other’s Line of Sight (note that they still count as blocking Line of Sight for other units). As long as you can draw a Line of Sight from the front rank to the target, the second and subsequent ranks may fire too.
When moving Skirmishers, you should measure from the location of each model before it moves and place it anywhere within its M Allowance (or double its M Allowance if it is marching), except when there is a unit or impassable terrain in the way, the distance moved must include the distance required to move around these obstacles.
Skirmishers and Charging
If skirmishers declare a charge (or a charge reaction that does not involve fleeing) they tighten their loose formation into a 'normal' formation after the charge distance is rolled and the chargers are moved. This happens 'for free' at the moment both units move into base contact. The unit immediately forms up in base contact around the centremost model in the front rank (the Skirmishers' controlling player can choose which if the front rank has an even number of models) that is also in base contact with the enemy.
The number of ranks, files and the formation's facing do not alter as the Skirmishers tighten up – all that happens is that models that were previously spaced out are now in base contact with one another. This has the effect of rendering the Skirmishers' loose formation into a regular shape so that other units can fight them in the normal way.
If the Skirmishers are not in base contact with an enemy in the Remaining Moves sub-phase, the controlling player must move them apart so that they readopt their loose formation.
Vanguard
Skirmishers have Vanguard.
Free Reform
A unit of Skirmishers moves, wheels, marches and charges just like other troops. However, unless it charges, a skirmishing unit is allowed to reform twice during its move; once before they move, and at the end of their move. The unit may do this even if it marches, provided that no model ends up moving a number of inches higher than double its M value.
Feigned Flight
A unit of Skirmishers that chooses Flee as a charge reaction does not cause Panic from fleeing through friendly units and may re-roll failed rally tests in its next Compulsory Movement Phase (unless it is forced to Flee again from another source). In addition, it is
then also free to move during the remaining moves part of the Movement phase. The unit is also free to shoot as normal (but always counts as having moved). Note that if the flee move of the Skirmishers do not take them beyond the charge reach of their enemies, the unit suffers casualties as normal.
Remember that Feigned Flight does not apply to models with Fly.
Fire on the March
Skirmishers can shoot even if they marched or reformed earlier in the turn (providing their weapon doesn't have Move or Fire). However, the normal -1 To Hit penalty for moving and shooting still applies.
Light Troops
All shots aimed at a unit of two or more Skirmisher models with an individual Unit Strength of 2 or less suffer an additional -1 To Hit penalty. Skirmishers always counts as having zero ranks, and therefore cannot claim a rank bonus. In addition, they cannot be Steadfast regardless of their Unit Strength (unless they also have Stubborn).
Characters
A character model that joins a unit of Skirmishers gains Skirmisher as long as they stay with the unit. Characters may only join Skirmishers with the same Troop Type as them.
A model mounted on a Great Pox Rat is treated as an Infantry model for the purpose of 'Look Out, Sir!'.
The Brood Horror gains Armour Piercing (1) and Magical Attacks.
The Iron Daemon gains Impact Hits (2D6) and rolls 2D6 for the number of Impacts Hits with its Grind Attack. In addition, hits caused by the Skullcracker gain a +1 bonus on To Wound rolls against buildings and fortifications.
Skulltaker must always issue a challenge, or accept a challenge if one is offered.
This upgrade adds an additional effect to the catapult's Screaming Skulls. If a target unit takes a Panic test as a result of being hit by the Skulls of the Foe, then they must take the test with a -1 penalty to their LD.
If a unit of Screamers moves over one or more unengaged enemy units in the Remaining Moves sub-phase, choose one of those units – it suffers D3 S 4 attacks per Screamer. These attacks hit on a 4+ and are treated as shooting attacks.
Any unit accompanied by a frenzied Doombull or Gorebull is also subject to Frenzy.
Friendly units of Hobgoblins within 12" of Zhatan are exempt from Animosity. In addition, Zhatan causes Terror in all enemy units of Orcs, Goblins, Hobgoblins and Gnoblars.
Braugh begins the game with 12 slaves, these must form up with Braugh placed in the centre of the unit. Braugh benefits from "Look Out, Sir!" as long as there are at least 5 slaves in the unit. He may not voluntarily leave the unit under any circumstances. In addition, as long as Braugh is alive, all slaves have Regeneration (5+).
The Slavemaster is deployed in the rear rank of the unit, and may be the only model in the rear rank. He counts as a unit Champion in all respects. Take a LD test at the start of every one of his turns. If failed, the Slaves are refusing to follow his orders, and the unit will suffer D6 S 3 Hits as he restores order with the use of his whip.
In a turn that they successfully charge, models with this rule gains Strength Bonus (1).
Slayers always Wound on a To Wound roll of 4+, unless they would need a lower result. Use the Slayer's S to determine the armour save modifier for any successful Wounds.
If Ungrim is chosen as the General, Troll Slayers (but not Giant Slayers) are taken as Core units rather than Special units.
The Dread Maw gains a Breath weapon that forces any unit under the flame template to pass an I test or suffer -2" to their move for the next turn.
Enemy units do not receive combat result bonuses for attacking the flank or rear of models with this.
Enemies attempting to attack a Giant River Troll Hag in close combat suffer a -1 penalty to their To Hit rolls.
Armour Piercing (1). Multiple Shots (2) (Only applies in turns the model has not moved. Cannot be used to Stand and Shoot.).
If the To Hit roll for a shooting attack made by a Spear Chukka is a 1 (before any modifiers are applied), then it misfires. Roll on the Stone Thrower Misfire table and apply the result to the Spear Chukka.
If the To Hit roll for a shooting attack made by a Spear Chukka is a 1 (before any modifiers are applied), then it misfires. Roll on the Stone Thrower Misfire table and apply the result to the Spear Chukka.
If the To Hit roll for a shooting attack made by a Skewerslinger is a 1 (before any modifiers are applied), then it misfires. Roll on the Scraplauncher Misfire table and apply the result to the Skewerslinger.
Unless a Slave Ogre is present as a part of the war machine’s crew, after the Mortar has fired once, you must roll a 3+ on a D6 whenever you wish to fire it again. If this roll is failed, you may not fire this turn but may fire again normally next turn.
Weapons with Slow to Fire cannot be used to Stand and Shoot.
Shinobi and/or unit of Ninjas with Smoke Bombs may use them at the end of any Close Combat phase in which they take part. On a 4+, the unit may disengage the combat by making a flee move. If they do so, the enemy cannot pursue them and they will rally automatically in their next turn.
One per model only. If a model with Smoke Bombs breaks from combat before declaring to pursue, announce that the Smoke Bombs are being detonated. Any units pursuing this model roll one D6 less than normal this turn.
The riders of a this Monster does not count as Moving and Shooting.
The Werebeast gains Multiple Wounds (D3).
After each round of combat is fought, the Sneaky Gits gain Fight in Extra Rank (1) each turn for as long as they are in combat with that enemy. So after one turn they Fight in Extra Rank (1), after two turns they Fight in Extra Ranks (2) and so on.
At the start of the game, before deployment, roll a D6 for each enemy unit. On a roll of 6, that unit has been delayed. Affected units do not deploy as normal, but instead enter play as reinforcements in the Movement phase of their first turn.
A model with Sniper can make a special Sniper shot instead of shooting normally (though it can be used in combination with the Multiple Shots rule as normal). A Sniper shot suffers an additional -1 To Hit penalty, in addition to any other modifiers, but can be aimed with great precision. Unless making a Stand and Shoot charge reaction, a model making a Sniper shot can shoot at a different target from the one chosen by their unit. A hit from a Sniper shot is not distributed in the same manner as other shooting attacks. The Sniper can shoot at any model they can see, including characters within a unit. "Look Out Sir!" cannot be used. Sniper cannot be used when firing weapons that use a template.
You may take 1-2 Snotling Pump Wagons as a single Rare choice.
Sneaky Snufflers consist of a Night Goblin and a Snufflesquig mounted on the same base. They follow the split profile rules for Cavalry.
The unit may re-roll To Hit rolls of 1 with shooting and close combat attacks.

Models in base contact with one or more Fiends of Slaanesh suffer a -1 penalty to both WS and I. This has no effect on Daemons of Slaanesh.
Whenever a Chaos Dwarf with this rule suffers a Miscast during the game, after resolving the effects of the Miscast on them normally, they must pass a T test or suffer a Wound with no saves allowed.
This gives the Lammasu a S 3 Breath Weapon with Magical Attacks.
Magic Weapons lose all of their magical properties and are treated as a mundane weapon of the same type while the models remain in base contact with the Lammasu (including the rider of the Lammasu itself).
When a unit of Hellstriders of Slaanesh destroys an enemy unit in close combat, through charging or pursuit, they gain a bonus rule for the remainder of the game. The bonus gained depends on the number of units they have destroyed over the course of the battle, as described in the Soul Hunters Table. Note that the bonuses are cumulative and only affect the rider, not the mount.
As soon as Prince Apophas is placed on the tabletop, nominate one enemy character on the battlefield. Apophas re-rolls any failed To Hit and To Wound rolls against the chosen character.
Attacks made by Hexwraiths and Hellwraiths in close combat have Flaming Attacks and Ignores Armour saves.
Enemy Wizards within 24" of one or more Cygors must take a LD test at the beginning of the Magic phase. If the test is failed, any spell the wizard fails to reach the attempted casting value of will result in a miscast.
Hexwraiths and Hellwraiths can move through unengaged units (whether friendly or enemy) during the Remaining Moves sub-phase, but cannot end their movement within 1" of another unit.

Skink Cohorts may include a number of Kroxigor as upgrades to form a mixed unit. When a mixed unit deploys or reforms, these Kroxigor must be placed in the unit's second rank, displacing Skink models as necessary to the back rank. When deploying or reforming a mixed unit, the width of the unit's front rank cannot be less than that of its second rank. If no more Kroxigor can fit in the unit's second rank, place the remaining Kroxigor in subsequent ranks. If the unit's front rank is ever reduced so that its width is less than the width of the second rank, a Kroxigor must immediately move to the front rank (displacing rank and file models if necessary).
Whenever you are required to work out the mixed unit's frontage or ranks (and therefore supporting attacks and rank bonus) count as if the footprint of the entire mixed unit was filled with Skinks.
Unless otherwise stated, close combat attacks can only target Kroxigors within a mixed unit if an enemy model is either in base contact with a Kroxigor, or if an enemy model is in base contact with a Skink who is in turn in base contact with a Kroxigor. Stomps are always resolved against the Skinks (if all the Skinks are slain, any excess hits are lost). Missile and Impact Hits against a Skink Cohort that contains one or more Kroxigor are randomised by rolling a D6; on a 1-4, the hit is resolved against a Skink, on a 5-6 it is resolved against a Kroxigor. However, if a mixed unit of five or more models is hit by a bolt thrower, the shot always hits the closest non-character model to the bolt thrower. If this hit results in a casualty, resolve a hit against the next model in the bolt's path each time a casualty is caused.
Casualties are always taken from the rearmost rank of the appropriate model type. Skink models that are in base contact with a friendly Kroxigor model have Fear.
Strength Bonus (1), +1 I (Both, only in the turn the unit charges and only against the charged unit).
Fight in Extra Ranks (1). Strength Bonus (1), +1 I (Both, only if the unit got charged to its front by WB, Ca, MI, MB, MC, Ch and Mo).
You may take 1-2 Spear Chukka's as a single special choice.
At the start of each round of close combat, Aranessa may target one enemy model in base contact. Roll to Hit against the target; if successful, that model is ensnared and suffers -D3 to its Attacks this round.
Abominations do not attack in the same way as other creatures. Roll a D6 on the Close Combat Attacks Chart, when it is the Hell Pit Abomination's turn to attack to see what the mutated beast does.
A model mounted upon (or pulled by) a model with this rule gains Ethereal for the purposes of movement only. They do not suffer the movement penalty for being barded. Whilst a unit with this rule is joined by a character without the Spectral Steeds or Ethereal special rules, then it loses this special rule.
Whenever an enemy successfully casts a spell (including bound spells, etc.) place a counter next to the Blue Scribes. At the start of your next Magic phase, the Blue Scribes can make a channelling attempt for each counter. Once the Blue Scribes have attempted to channel, remove all counters from them.
The Hellcannon has a S 5 Breath Weapon. Any unit that suffers one or more casualties from Spew Ichor must take a Panic test with a -1 penalty to their LD.
The Hell Cannon has a Strength 5 Breath Weapon. Any unit that suffers one or more casualties from Spew Ichor must take a Panic test with a -1 penalty to their LD.
Forest Goblin Shamans may re-roll one dice when casting spells. However, any time they Miscast, they will also count as having failed a Stupidity test (if they survive).
The War Elephant gains Impact Hits (2D6). If the War Elephant Stampedes, it will inflict 2D6 Hits S 5 Hits on any unit it passes through.
The War Elephant causes D6 (2D6 for Royal Elephants) Impact Hits on the charge.
Each successful Hit in close combat by the War Elephant is multiplied into 2 Hits.
The War Elephant gains +1 S to its Attacks.
If a Pump Wagon has a spiky roller then all its Impact Hits have +1 S.
If Warlord Spinetail is in base contact with an enemy Infantry Character at the start of any close combat phase, he can attempt to throttle them with his tail. If he does, both you and your opponent roll a D6. If you roll the higher result, the enemy Character suffers one Wound which Ignores Armour Saves. If your result is at least double your opponent’s, that model suffers D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour Saves instead.
While a friendly Nehekharan Undead Wizard is within 12" of one or more Hierotitans adds +D3 to the casting result of each spell he attempts to cast (roll for the bonus each time).
At the beginning of each of his turns, Galrauch must take a LD test. If the test is passed, Galrauch is controlled as normal, but if the test is failed, the ancient spirit of the original Dragon surfaces again. Should this occur, Galrauch cannot move, cast spells or use his Breath Weapons. In the Close Combat phase, he directs half of his Attacks against himself as the two heads rip into each other. If Galrauch is already engaged in close combat, he can fight with his remaining Attacks as normal. The Wounds caused by Galrauch against himself are added to the enemy's score when working out the combat resolution.
Alberic, and any models in the same unit, may re-roll 1's to Hit in close combat.
At the beginning of your Magic phase, all units within 8" of Morghur must pass a LD test or suffer D6 S 4 Hits which Ignore Armour Saves. If one or more Wounds are inflicted, you may place a Chaos Spawn within 3" of the spot vacated, provided there is space, and you have the appropriate model available. When the Spawn appears it must be placed more than 1" away from other models.
Instead of moving normally, the unit can walk the spirit paths during the Remaining Moves subphase. Remove it from play, and set it up so that the centre of the unit is within any wood on the table.
A Guru does not follow the normal rules of Castes, but can join any unit he wishes. Rules that effect models with a Caste affect the Guru too. In addition, any unit with a Guru in it may re-roll failed LD tests.
Multiple Wounds(D3). Poisoned Attacks. Quick to Fire.
If a Fanatic's move would bring it into contact with another unit, then he moves through rather than stopping. If the Fanatic's move would end within a unit, then he automatically bounces through it – place the Fanatic model 1" beyond the unit, in the direction he was moving. When a Fanatic moves through any unit it inflicts D6 S 5 Armour Piercing (1) hits.
When a Pink Horror is slain in close combat (not removed as a result of Daemonic Instability). Roll a D6; on the result of 1-3, the Pink Horror will explode, inflicting an automatic S 3 on the unit that inflicted the Wound, distributed as a missile attack. On the roll of a 4-6, the Pink Horror will split into two Blue Horrors instead; replace the slain Pink Horror with two Blue Horror models at the back of the unit. If you do not have access to enough Blue Horrors, treat the result as having rolled a 1-3 instead. When resolving attacks against a unit with both Pink and Blue Horrors present, the Blue Horrors are targeted and removed as casualties first.
At the start of each of the Vampire player's turns and whenever Luthor suffers a Wound, roll a D6 to determine which personality is in control. Each effect lasts until a new result is generated from the split personality table.
For every wound caused on a Jabberslythe in close combat, the attacking unit immediately suffers a randomised S 5 hit.
The Squig Gobba may fire in the Shooting Phase as long as as least one Night Goblin Tender remains and it is not in close combat. When firing the Squig Gobba, roll 3D6 and consult the Squig Gobba Table.
If the unit flees, or if at any time there are only Squigs left alive in the unit with no Herders, the Squigs go wild, biting at anything nearby. All units within 2D6" (friend and foe) immediately take D6 S 5 hits. For every 5 Cave Squigs remaining when the Squigs Go Wild, add +1 to the number of hits caused. After damage is resolved, the Squig Herd is removed in its entirety.
The crew may move and fire with their handguns without suffering the additional -1 To Hit for mounted models.
The crew may move and fire with their handguns without suffering the additional -1 To Hit for mounted models.
If the majority of models in the unit has this rule and are garrisoning a building or fighting behind a defended obstacle, they may re-roll failed Break tests.
State Troops are trained to support and protect each other in battle. If an enemy unit declares a charge against a State Troop unit, and the State Troops do not flee as a charge reaction, then all unengaged State Troop units within 3" can make either a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action. These actions are declared immediately after their State Troops' charge reaction. If the charged State Troops unit does not get a charge reaction for any reason then the other State Troops units within range cannot make a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action.
Additionally, a State Troop unit can only declare one Support Fire action, one Stand and Shoot reaction or one Counter Charge action per turn.
• Support Fire: A State Troop unit can only declare a Support Fire action if at least one model in the unit is armed with a missile weapon and the range between the charging unit and the charged State Troops unit is greater than the charging unit's Movement characteristic.
If a Support Fire action is declared, the unit makes an immediate, out of sequence shooting attack, resolved as if it had just declared a Stand and Shoot charge reaction against the charging unit. All unsaved Wounds from the units' Stand and Shoot charge reaction and/or Support Fire actions, are combined when determining if the charging unit is required to take a Heavy Casualties Panic test.
• Counter Charge: If a Counter Charge action is declared, the unit makes an out of sequence move that is resolved as it had just declared a charge against the charging unit. This move is made after your opponent has moved all of his charging units, as long as one or more enemy units has successfully completed a charge against the charged State Troop unit. The enemy does not get to make any charge reactions against a Counter Charge, but otherwise all the normal charging rules and bonuses apply.
State Troops are trained to support and protect each other in battle. If an enemy unit declares a charge against a State Troop unit, and the State Troops do not flee as a charge reaction, then all unengaged State Troop units within 3" can make either a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action. These actions are declared immediately after their State Troops' charge reaction. If the charged State Troops unit does not get a charge reaction for any reason then the other State Troops units within range cannot make a Support Fire or a Counter Charge action.
Additionally, a State Troop unit can only declare one Support Fire action, one Stand and Shoot reaction or one Counter Charge action per turn.
• Support Fire: A State Troop unit can only declare a Support Fire action if at least one model in the unit is armed with a missile weapon and the range between the charging unit and the charged State Troops unit is greater than the charging unit's Movement characteristic.
If a Support Fire action is declared, the unit makes an immediate, out of sequence shooting attack, resolved as if it had just declared a Stand and Shoot charge reaction against the charging unit. All unsaved Wounds from the units' Stand and Shoot charge reaction and/or Support Fire actions, are combined when determining if the charging unit is required to take a Heavy Casualties Panic test.
• Counter Charge: If a Counter Charge action is declared, the unit makes an out of sequence move that is resolved as it had just declared a charge against the charging unit. This move is made after your opponent has moved all of his charging units, as long as one or more enemy units has successfully completed a charge against the charged State Troop unit. The enemy does not get to make any charge reactions against a Counter Charge, but otherwise all the normal charging rules and bonuses apply.
Once per friendly turn, at the start of any phase, Tretch can leave any unit he is with and make move of 2D6" as if it was the Remaining Moves phase.
By resting the musket on the crook of the Halberd, the Streltsi counts as firing from short range at targets within 12" rather than 4".
Units with Steady in the Ranks may Stand & Shoot as a charge reaction even if the enemy is within their M characteristics. In addition, the Kossars do not suffer the normal 1 penalty on their To Hit rolls for firing at a charging enemy.
The more Steam Points that are expended in the Steam Cannon, the greater its maximum range will be. If you choose not to expend any Steam Points in the Steam Cannon, or if the Steam Tank is in base contact with an enemy unit, you cannot fire it that turn.
If you expend a single Steam Point, the Steam Cannon can fire with a maximum range of 12". For each additional Steam Point you expend, the maximum range of the Steam Cannon is increased by 12". The Steam Cannon can only be fired directly ahead.
If the first artillery dice roll is a misfire, the Steam Cannon does not fire and the Steam Tank immediately loses D3 Wounds with no armour saves allowed. The Steam Cannon cannot fire grapeshot.
-2 I. Requires Two Hands. A Miner unit equipped with a steam drill can re-roll a failed arrival for Ambushers.
The more Steam Points you expend in the Steam Engine, the further the Steam Tank moves in the Movement phase. Declare how many Steam Points you will expend in the Steam Engine at the start of your Compulsory Moves sub-phase. If you choose not to expend any Steam Points in the Steam Engine, the Steam Tank's Movement will be 0 that turn and it cannot move at all. For each Steam Point you chose to expend, the Steam Tank's Random Movement increases by D6".
If the Steam Tank charges an enemy unit, it will inflict an additional D3 Impact Hits for each Steam Point expended in the Steam Engine that turn.
If the Steam Tank is in base contact with an enemy unit, it cannot move but can instead expend Steam Points in the Steam Engine to grind foes beneath its wheels in the close combat phase. Select one enemy unit in base contact – it immediately suffers D3 Impact Hits for each steam point expended in this way.
The more Steam Points you expend in the Steam Gun, the higher the pressure of the resultant gout of steam. If the Steam Tank is unengaged, declare how many Steam Points you will expend in the Steam Gun at the start of your Shooting phase. If the Steam Tank is engaged in close combat, declare how many Steam Points you will expend in the Steam Gun at the start of your Close Combat phase. In either case, if you choose not to expend any Steam Points in the Steam Gun, you cannot fire it that turn.
If only a single Steam Point is expended, the Steam Gun is treated as a S 2 Breath Weapon, which uses the Engineer Commander's I. The S of the Breath Weapon is increased by 1 for each additional Steam Point expended in the Steam Gun. The Steam Gun has a 360 degree arc of fire. Unlike other Breath Weapons, the Steam Gun can be used once each turn.
At the start of your turn, declare how many Steam Points your Steam Tank is generating – this can be any number between 0 and 5. After you have generated your Steam Points (if any), roll an artillery dice to see if the Steam Tank's boiler holds out. If the result is greater than the Steam Tank's current number of Wounds, or if you roll a misfire, roll a D3 and then, for each Steam Point the Steam Tank currently has, add 1 to the result and consult the Steam Boiler Mishap table.
You can expend Steam Points in three ways: through the Steam Engine, or Steam Weapons. You can expend up to 3 Steam Points in each of these categories, as long as you have enough Steam Points remaining. Any Steam Points left unused at the end of your turn are lost.
The Grudgebreaker follows the rules for Random Movement and Random Attacks. In order to determine the Movement and Attacks value of the Grudgebreaker, roll an Artillery dice rather than a set of D6's (roll separately for Movement and Attacks). Whenever you attempt to move or attack with the Grudgebreaker you may re-roll the Artillery dice if it didn't score a Misfire. If a Misfire is rolled, roll a D6 and consult the Grudgebreaker Incident Table. If a Misfire results on the re-roll it automatically causes a Clunk result.
A Steam Tank, and its crew, can shoot missile weapons with Move or Fire even if it moved in its Movement phase. In addition, a Steam Tank cannot overrun or pursue a fleeing enemy – it automatically restrains and is unable to perform combat reforms.

In addition, each successful Hit by a Thunderbird is multiplied into D3 Hits, though no individual model may be hit more than once.
The models in a unit of Stormfiends can be armed with a variety of different weapons. If they are, your opponent must make it clear which model they want to allocate their attacks to. Any excess wounds are carried over to the rest of the unit as normal in an order chosen by your opponent.
Bugman and any unit he joins have Immunity (Fear/Terror) as long as he remains with the unit.
At the start of your Movement phase, roll a D6 and consult the Strange and Confused Table.

Models with this rule gain a S bonus to all their close combat attacks (including Impact Hits and Stomps) equal to the number in the brackets in the first round of each new close combat they are involved in. Note that any attack made with a weapon that gives Strength Bonus only applies to attacks made with the weapon itself. This rule is cumulative with other sources of Strength Bonus.
Whenever a Priest of Ulric uses a Prayer, the Power level of the Prayer is increased by D3. Therefore the total Power level when using a Prayer will be 3+D3. For the purposes of dispelling Remains in Play Prayers in later turns, only the basic Power level of 3 is used.
Units with this rule add +1 to its LD if it has Unit Strength 10 or more, +2 LD if it has Unit
Strength 15 or more, and +3 LD if it has Unit Strength 20 or more. To calculate the LD of a unit with Strength in Numbers, first determine the unit's LD as normal and then add the LD
bonus of the unit to this value, up to a maximum LD of 10.
Note that a Skaven General confers his basic LD and then units modify it with their own Unit Strength. Any bonus from the Unit Strength of the General's unit is not passed on to units within his Inspiring Presence range.
Friendly units with Murderous Prowess in units within 6" of the Cauldron of Blood re-roll all failed To Wound rolls in close combat.
The Knights of the Black Bear gain Strength Bonus (1) on any turn that they charge.

Models with Strider will normally have a subset of Strider that is mentioned in the brackets. The rule only applies in terrain of the specified type. Models with Strider treat that piece of terrain as open ground for the purposes of Movement, meaning they ignore any M penalties or Dangerous Terrain tests otherwise caused by it. Note that they still follow the rules for that terrain type in terms of combat.

A model mounted on an Anvil of Doom can use each of the following bound spells once per friendly Magic Phase. In addition, it may use up to
4 Power Dice when attempting to cast each spell. The Anvil can pivot on the spot before casting, and the range of the bound spells is measured from the Anvil itself.
Any friendly Human unit within 8" of Lucrezzia Rally automatically during your Compulsory Movement phase. This does not affect any troops that have Immunity (Psychology).
Provided that they are not engaged in close combat, a unit that contains one or more models with Stupidity must take a LD test at the start of its Movement phase. If the test is passed, the unit will act normally this turn.
If the test is failed, it moves directly forwards using Random Movement (D6) in the Compulsory Movement sub-phase. The Stupid unit cannot take any further action that turn, so cannot declare charges or make a shooting attack. However, a unit that has failed a Stupidity test can still be forced to move, or perform any other action, by a spell, or other special rule/magic item.
Until they pass the Stupidity test again, models that have failed their Stupidity test have Immunity (Psychology) and Random Movement (D6), except that they can only move directly forwards. They cannot choose to do a combat reform or choose any other charge reaction except Hold. In addition, Wizards cannot attempt to cast/dispel or channel power dice or dispel dice.

A Hatamoto may be assigned to guard one friendly character model in your army (except other Hatamoto) at the start of the game. The same character may not be nominated by several Hatamoto. Whenever the nominated character suffers a Wound (before saves are taken) and the Hatamoto is in the same unit as them, roll a D6. On a 1, the Wound is resolved as normal, but on a 2+ the Wound is intercepted, and re-allocated to the Hatamoto. No more than one Wound can be re-allocated to each Hatamoto in each phase. Wounds in a challenge can't be reallocated.
If you have any Characters with My Will Be Done in your army, you must nominate one of them for the Tomb Herald to protect at the start of the game. The same character may not be nominated by several Tomb Heralds. Whenever the nominated character suffers a Wound (before saves are taken) and the Tomb Herald is in the same unit as him, roll a D6.

Wounds in a challenge can't be re-allocated.
Syreen’s Call is a special attack that can be used against a single enemy unit in the Shooting phase, even if the Syreen has marched, charged or is engaged in close combat. This attack has a range of 8" and needs line of sight to its target. If the Syreen is engaged in combat, her Syreen’s Call can only target an enemy unit in base contact.
To resolve a Syreen’s Call, the target unit must pass a LD test or suffer -3 to their LD until the start of the Syreen's next Shooting phase.
Any unit with this rule may roll 3D6 when taking tests to Rally, March, Reform and Redirect Charges and discard the highest result.
The model gains +1 A, though this attack does not gain any of the bonuses or penalties of other weapons the model might carry.
Sea Serpents get to make a Stomp Attack, except they only inflict 1 Hit.

In addition to its normal Impact Hits, the Tenderizer causes D3 Impact Hits at S 6 at the start of each round of close combat. These attacks have Multiple Wounds (D3). Note that this only applies when fighting to the Tenderizer's front.
Due to its constraints when pushing the Tenderizer forward, the Bull Centaur may only attack when fighting to the Tenderizer's flank or rear.
A Dread Saurian bearing the crystal known as the Eye of Tepok gains a Ward save (4+) against non-magical attacks.
A unit of Pikemen upgraded to Aventuro's may be combined with models of Rodeleros to deploy in a Tercio Formation at the start of the game. This will then be counted as a single unit for all purposes. The number of Rodeleros can range from a minimum of five models to a maximum of half the number of Aventuros (rounding up). The points cost of any Rodeleros counts towards the points total of the same unit of Aventuros they are purchased with. The Rodeleros may not purchase any additional options.
The forward ranks of a unit of Tercio are always made up of Rodeleros (as well as any Command Group models, which have the same equipment), and all Rodeleros must be placed as far forward as possible. The subsequent ranks are entirely made up of Aventuro Pikemen. In combat, all Aventuros that are eligible to make Supporting Attacks can do so as normal.
During the game, remove casualties from the back as normal. It is assumed that the pike-armed models step forward and discard their pikes to pick up the swords and shields of the fallen front rankers. Only when all Aventuros have been killed, can casualties be taken from the Rodeleros.
Units of Crossbowmen or Handgunners within 3" of a unit in Tercio Formation may lend them support fire if the Tercio is charged to its front. This works out like a normal Stand and Shoot reaction, except that they do not suffer -1 To Hit for shooting at a charging enemy.
Darahma follows all the rules for Devas, but is not subject to Divine Corporeality, and may be the army’s General and use Hold Your Ground.
Unless specified otherwise, the model that carries the battle standard cannot be the General.
Unlike normal standards, the battle standard is lost if the bearer is slain.
If a Battle Standard Bearer is in a unit, Refuses a Challenge and is subsequently moved to the rear of its unit, it loses Hold Your Ground until the end of the turn. Note, however, that if the Battle Standard Bearer has a magic standard its effects continue to apply as normal.
Combat Resolution Bonus
A battle standard adds +1 combat resolution in a close combat if it is in a friendly unit.
Hold your Ground!
Friendly models within 12" of the Battle Standard Bearer re-roll failed Panic and Break tests. This ability cannot be used if the Battle Standard Bearer is also fleeing.
If your Battle Standard Bearer has a Line of Sight value of 5 or more, then the range of their Hold Your Ground ability is increased by 6".
Whenever Radukar suffer an unsaved Wound, roll a D6; on a roll of 4+, he will transform into his Beast form for the remainder of the battle and will use those characteristics from then on (note that any Wounds previously suffered are not regained upon transforming).

If a Merchant Prince is included in your army, one Dogs of War unit (which is not a Regiment of Renown, character, monster or war machine) may increase its armour save by +1 or gain Armour Piercing (1). This costs +1 point per model for Infantry, and 2 points per model for other troop types. Alternatively, the unit may take a Magic Standard worth up to 50 points.
The Dread Saurian gains Flaming Attacks and causes 2D6 S 3 Flaming Impact Hits.
Models with this rule have Ward save (6+). This is increased to a Ward save (5+) against missile attacks. Models with the Grail Vow always have Ward save (5+).

On a 4+ he recovers to full wounds, and is placed where the model was originally slain, at least 1" away from any unit or Impassable Terrain.
At the start of each of your close combat phases, choose one friendly Daemon of Khorne unit within 12". The target unit may re-roll failed To Wound rolls of 1's until the start of your next close combat phase.
At the start of each of your turn, Cado can summon a spirit from the Court of the Lost. If he does so, pick one of the effects. That effect lasts until the start of your next turn.
If a model with the Curse is removed from play, then the enemy unit responsible, by inflicting the final wound for example, will immediately suffer D6 S 5 hits (if the model was a Lord) or D6 S 4 hits (if the model was a Hero). These Wounds are distributed as for shooting hits.
In close combat, any Wounds inflicted count towards the combat result. If more than one unit is responsible for the destruction of the model with the Curse (it is destroyed by the combat result in a multiple combat due to Unstable, for example), then all guilty units are affected. If the model is killed in a challenge, then only his opponent is cursed, and not the whole enemy unit.
In addition to the normal Tomb King's Curse, if Settra is killed by any means, then every enemy unit within 2D6" suffers 2D6 S 2 hits.

Eltharion and any unit he joins is subject to the Berserk Rage part of Frenzy.
If Karl Franz suffers a Wound (before armour saves are taken) and Ludwig Schwarzhelm is in the same unit, roll a D6. On a 1, the Wound is resolved as normal, but on a 2+ the Wound is intercepted and reallocated to Ludwig Schwarzhelm. If Karl Franz suffers more than one Wound simultaneously, randomise between them to determine which Ludwig attempts to intercept first.
No more than one Wound can be re-allocated to Ludwig Schwarzhelm in this way in each phase. Wounds suffered by the Emperor in a challenge cannot be re-allocated.
If Kurt Helborg joins a unit of Reiksguard Knights, his unit gains may re-roll failed Break tests for as long as he remains in the unit.
If you take Ludwig Schwarzhelm, he must be your army's Battle Standard Bearer. Ludwig Schwarzhelm can never be your army's General.
If a unit of Flagellants is in base contact with an enemy unit at the start of any Close Combat phase, the Flagellants may immediately sacrifice D3 Wounds worth of models. Casualties inflicted in this way are 'martyrs' and they do not count towards combat resolution.
If at least one model is removed as a martyr, the remaining models in the unit immediately gain one of the effects from the Martyr Table until the end of the current phase. The exact effect that applies will depend on the number of models removed as martyrs.
In addition, friendly units within 6" of Flagellants suffer -1 to their LD, except other Flagellants, Warrior Priests, Arch Lectors and Sisters of Sigmar.
At the start of each of the controlling player's Close Combat phases, the Masque must choose one dance to perform. These abilities target one enemy unit (which may be in combat). Each dance has a range of 12" and does not require line of sight. Until the end of the phase, the target suffers a penalty to the characteristic stated (to a minimum of 1).
If Borgut fights in a challenge, then at the beginning of the first Close Combat phase of the challenge, he can smash his thick Orc skull into the face of his opponent. This is in addition to his normal attacks, and is resolved before any other attacks in the challenge. If this attack inflicts an unsaved Wound, the target is reduced to WS 1 and gains Always Strike Last for the rest of the Close Combat phase. If this mighty 'eadbutt kills his opponent, Borgut can still make his remaining attacks to calculate overkill for the purposes of combat resolution.
Gorthor must be the Army General. Gorthor, and any unit he joins, may re-roll failed Psychology and Break tests.
Once per turn, Groth may re-roll a dice when casting a spell or when trying to dispel an enemy spell.
The First Division is a unit of Janissaries that may Move and Fire even if armed with handguns. However, if they do so, only the front rank may fire.

Ottokar must set up with this unit and may not leave it. No other character may join the unit.
Morathi adds an additional +2 to all her casting attempts, roll each time a spell is cast.
All friendly units with the Mark of Khorne within 12" of Valkia the Bloody re-roll failed Break tests. However, any friendly unit with the Mark of Khorne that flees whilst within 12" of Valkia the Bloody, for whatever reason, immediately suffers D6 S 6 hits.
If your army contains any Undead units, you must include at least one character that is a Wizard that uses the Lore of Necromancy.
Slain General
At the end of the phase in which the General is removed as a casualty, and at the start of every friendly turn thereafter, all friendly Undead units on the battlefield must take a LD test. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the LD test, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds are distributed as if from a shooting attack.
If, at the start of any of your turns following the death of the General, there is one or more friendly Wizard Character on the table who know spells from the Lore of Necromancy, no unit in the army needs to take this LD test while at least one of them remain.
Your army must include at least one Wizard that uses the Lore of Necromancy.
Slain General
At the end of the phase in which the General is removed as a casualty, and at the start of every friendly turn thereafter, all friendly Undead units on the battlefield must take a LD test. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the LD test, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds are distributed as if from a shooting attack.
If, at the start of any of your turns following the death of the General, there is one or more friendly Wizard Characters on the table who know spells from the Lore of Necromancy, no unit in the army needs to take this LD test while at least one of them remain.

Hobgobla Khan must always be the army's General. In addition, units of Kheshig must be taken as a Core choice.
Any non-Clan Pestilens unit with a model within 6" of Nurglitch is at -1 WS. Furthermore, any such model in base contact with Nurglitch at the end of any close combat phase automatically takes a S 4 hit which Ignores Armour saves, that counts towards combat resolution.
Repanse has Terror and Magic Resistance (3).
One enemy model, chosen by the Daemon player, is doomed to perish by Amon 'Chakai. All close combat and shooting attacks against this model will automatically hit. This lasts until the end of the battle, even if Amon 'Chakai is killed.
Bruckner cannot be the army's General. In addition, while fighting in a Challenge, Bruckner has Unbreakable.
Your army must include at least one Nehekharan Undead Wizard to be the army's Hierophant. If your army includes several Wizards, this will be the one with the highest Wizard Level. If two or more models have the highest Wizard Level, choose which of them will be the Hierophant. The Hierophant must use the Lore of Nehekhara.
The Hierophant, and all models in the same unit, have Regeneration (6+).
At the end of the phase in which the Hierophant is removed as a casualty, and at the start of every friendly turn thereafter, all friendly Undead units (except characters) on the battlefield must take a LD test. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the LD test, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds are distributed as if from a shooting attack.
If, at the start of any of your turns following the death of the Hierophant, there is one or more friendly Wizard Characters on the table who know spells from the Lore of Nehekhara, then one of these models may be designated the new Hierophant by passing a LD test. If passed, he becomes the new Hierophant following all the normal rules, and no unit in the army needs to take the LD test to avoid losing Wounds while he remains alive.
A Beastmen army containing Morghur must re-roll all successful Unruly tests.
The Hound of Khorne has Frenzy and Magic Resistance (2).
If Ghark is the army's General, Leadbelchers count as a Core choice and Grimhorn Rhinox Riders count as a Special choice.
At the start of each of your turns, one unit in within 12" of Khazek may be forced to take a Psychology test. If the test is failed the unit is overcome by the urge to slaughter in Khorne’s name, and they will gain Frenzy until the start of your next turn.
Models with the Knight's Vow have Immunity (Panic) caused by friendly models. In addition, they may only join units with the Knight's Vow.
Louen gains a Ward Save (4+) from the Blessing of the Lady. However, if he loses the Blessing, he will immediately lose a Wound with no saves allowed.
Any Cavalry unit with this rule may deploy in the Lance formation and/or reform into it during the game. A unit in Lance formation follow the rules for Ranks that apply to Monstrous Cavalry. In effect, if by any means a unit of Bretonnian Knights is formed into a unit three models wide, it is treated as being in Lance formation. Note that if a unit is ever wider than three models, it no longer counts as being in Lance formation. In addition to this, the unit may form a unit up to 5 ranks deep.
A wizard may be placed in the centre of the second rank of the Lance formation rather than the front rank, as the Knights form up protectively around her. Note that she remains fully in play even if she is not in the front rank (so the unit may use her LD, she may cast magic, etc.). If a second wizard joins the unit, she may be placed in the centre of the third rank. If the rank in front of the wizard ever falls below three models, she will move forward to take up the empty space. A Wizard in the second rank still counts as having line of sight for the purpose of casting spells.
On a turn that a unit in Lance Formation makes a successful charge, all models with this rule gain Fight in Extra Ranks (1), and every rider that gets to fight can make up to 3 Supporting Attacks rather than 1. In addition, they add their current Rank Bonus to the S of the Impact Hits they inflict. Finally, if the unit wins that round of combat, it also counts as having double their actual Unit Strength for the purpose of determining if the enemy unit is Steadfast or not.
At the start of each of your Shooting phases. Amanhotep may unleash the Light of Ptra from the Curse of Zandri. This is fired from the table edge of the Tomb Kings player's deployment zone.
Roll an Artillery dice to determine the number of hits caused. If a Misfire is rolled, the attack fails and you may not fire it the next Shooting phase.
At the start of every friendly turn, Marius Leitdorf must take a LD test on 3D6, discarding the lowest result. If passed, he behaves himself and acts normally this turn, otherwise roll a D6 and consult the Mad Count Table.
Skragrott can always choose to re-roll any number of dice when determining how far the template from the Curse of da Bad Moon spell moves.
Zombie units can be increased beyond their starting size by spells and effects that add models to an existing unit. In addition, when Zombie units are successfully targeted by the Invocation of Nehek spell from the Lore of the Vampires, they regain an extra D6 Wounds. However, they also suffer one more casualty than normal as a result of Unstable.
If Jubal Falk is included in your army, one unit of Handgunners may be upgraded to wear medium armour for +1 point per model.
The Palanquin of Constellations gives Tetto'eko a Ward save (5+) and Strider. Additionally, while they have the troop type Infantry, he is are never considered to be a ‘model on foot' for the purposes of spells, magic items and special rules. If Tetto'eko joins a unit Skink Cohorts whose front rank contains five or more models, he must be placed in the second rank, displacing other models if necessary. If the unit's front rank is ever reduced to four or fewer models, Tetto'eko must immediately move into the front rank (displacing models if necessary).
The Knight of the Perilous Lance has Parry (6+), even though he is mounted.
Nurglitch and Bilios are subject to Frenzy and Hatred. Such is the inspirational effect Nurglitch has on his army that no Clan Pestilens units will lose their Frenzy whilst Nurglitch is still alive.
Unlike normal chariots, the pay cart only inflicts D3 impact hits. The Paychest increases the radius of Mydas' "Hold Your Ground" by 6". The Pay Cart acts as a separate unit from Mydas and his bodyguards on the battlefield.
The Paymaster may be accompanied by a Paychest guarded by two Paychest Bodyguards which increases his Unit Strength by 2. This can be represented by either modelling the Paymaster with the Paychest and guards on a single base, or as a separate model placed in base contact with the Paymaster at all times (it may be placed in the second rank of a unit if you wish). The Paychest increases the radius of the Paymaster's "Hold Your Ground" by 6".
If the Paymaster is killed, all friendly units gain Hatred against the enemy unit or model that killed the Paymaster.
Models with the Peasant's Duty treat all friendly models with the Knight's Vow, the Questing Vow or the Grail Vow within 6" as having Inspiring Presence. Unit standards in units with the Peasant’s Duty do not confer any additional victory points if captured.
All attacks made by the Knight of the Perilous Lance have Ignores Armour Saves when charging.
Any Battle Prayers cast by a model who is mounted on the War Altar of Sigmar also target all friendly units within 6".
Models with the Questing's Vow have Immunity (Panic) caused by friendly models, may re-roll failed Psychology tests, and may only join units with the Knight's Vow or Questing Vow. In addition, they ignore I penalties from using great weapons in any turn that they charge, but they may not use any lance (unless specified).
Each of the two Ravens gives the Ravenswyrd an additional Attack that is resolved at WS 3 and S 3. These attacks do not benefit from any bonuses or Magic Weapons.
If the Ravenswyrd is wounded, roll a D6 for each wound suffered. On a 2+, the Ravenswyrd may ignore the wound and reduce his S, T or A by 1 instead. On a 1, one of his Ravens are slain instead. If both Ravens are killed then the Ravenswyrd will also die and is removed from the table.
In addition, roll a D6 at beginning of the Norse turn. On a roll of a 6 the Ravenswyrd may increase his S, T or A by 1. This increase may not take it above the Ravenwyrd's starting characteristics.
The Red Devils are a unit of Samurai Cavalry with an additional +1 S and Frenzy. Naomasa must set up with this unit and may not leave it.
If Sanada Naomasa is taken, then you must include a unit of Samurai Cavalry in the army, chosen at additional cost from the Core Units section of the army list. This unit must be
upgraded to Red Devils at a cost of 3 points per model and given spears. They may not take a Clan Mon.
Queek must always be accompanied by his Red Guard, and may join no other unit. The Red Guard are a unit of Stormvermin with an additional +1 S. Queek must deploy with this unit and may not leave it. No Grey Seers may join the unit.
Whenever a model with this rule kills one or more enemy models in close combat, roll a D6 at the end of the Close Combat phase. On the roll of a 5+, the model recovers a single Wound lost earlier in the battle. This does not work against models with Animated Construct, Daemonic, Forest Spirit.
Whenever Marianna kills one or more enemy models in close combat, roll a D6 at the end of the Close Combat phase. On the roll of a 5+, the model recovers a single Wound lost earlier in the battle. This does not work against models with Animated Construct, Daemonic, Forest Spirit or Vampiric.

At the start of each of your turns, roll 2D6 and add the current turn number. This is range of the reliquary's dark aura this turn in inches. All enemy units within range of the dark aura immediately take D6 hits, with a S equal to the current turn number, distributed as from shooting. Also, place a marker next to all friendly Undead units that were within range of the dark aura at the start of the turn. These units improve their Regeneration saves by one point until the start of their next turn, to a maximum of 4+. If they have no Regeneration save, they are treated as having Regeneration (6+) instead. Finally, if the 2D6 result was a double, then the fell energies prove too powerful; in addition to the usual effects, the Mortis Engine takes 1 Wound with no saves of any kind allowed. When the Mortis Engine suffers its last unsaved Wound, every unit within 12 plus the turn number in inches, friend or foe, must take 2D6 hits with a S equal to the current turn number. These hits are distributed as shooting.
If Kouran Darkhand is in a unit of Black Guard, he and all models in that unit have Unbreakable.
The Dread Saurian gains Ambushers deployment and add +1 to its M value. Models firing at it as part of a Stand & Shoot charge reaction must re-roll successful hits.
Ghorros must be deployed with a unit of Centigors, and may not leave it. His Centigor unit is comprised of his most able sons and has +1 WS. Such is his kin's devotion that Ghorros can always use the 'Look Out, Sir!' rule, provided there is at least one other Centigor in his unit still alive.
Lord Kroak's Wizard level can never be reduced to less than 1.
If Sehenesmet is the army's General all units of Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry, Monstrous Beasts or Monsters count as Core/Special units rather than Special/Rare units. However, all other Core/Special units will counts as Special/Rare units instead.
Once a game, Exmelin rolls a D6 when using Field Surgeon.
If your army includes Archaon, one unit of Varanguard may be upgraded to be the Swords of Chaos for +3 points per model. This unit has Hatred and Immunity (Psychology).
If Morghur is within 12" of a forest, all enemy units even partially within that forest suffer -1 to their LD.
Whilst Epidemius is alive, keep a count of all unsaved Wounds caused by Daemons of Nurgle (friend or foe) and by spells from the Lore of Nurgle.
At the start of each of your turns, consult the Tally of Pestilence table to determine the effect of the Tally of Pestilence. Note that these effects are cumulative. If Epidemius is killed, these effects are immediately lost.
The Throne of Power is treated in all regards as Shieldbearers, with these additions to represent its status and additional bearers: the Throne adds +4 to Thorgrim's W and gives him Unit Strength 5. In addition, the Throne increases the range of his Inspiring Presence rule to 18". If Thorgrim joins a unit, he does not benefit from the "Look Out Sir!" rule.
The Models receive +1 To Hit and To Wound (a roll of 1 still fails) if at least one enemy model in base contact with the unit has a higher WS or S characteristic (before modifiers for weapons).
All friendly models within Line of Sight of Synessa may use their LD. In addition, any spells that Synessa casts can be targeted at all enemies within Line of Sight, regardless of range.
Each Wound inflicted by Garagrim counts double towards that round's Combat Resolution. Against enemies with T 5 or higher, Garagrim causes Multiple Wounds (D6). However, Garagrim may never be the Army General.
Crom can choose to swap between fighting with a hand weapon and shield or two hand weapons at the start of each round of close combat.
If Crom uses a hand weapon and shield, his Parry save is increased to 4+.
If Crom uses two hand weapons, he gains +3 Attacks rather than +1.
In an army led by Orion, Wild Riders count as Core choice. An army led by Orion must include at least one unit of Wild Riders.
The Land Ship, lacking anything like the control of a Steam Tank has two modes of movement: slow and full power. The player must declare which they are using before the Land Ship is moved each turn.
Slow: The Land Ship may move up to 6" directly forward without penalty or risk, but may not charge.
Full Power: The Land Ship follows the rules for Random Movement (3D6). However, if you roll two or more 1's when determining the Land Ships Random Movement, something has gone disastrously wrong. Roll immediately on the Land Ship Calamity Chart and apply the result.

Khalil al-Zahir goes into battle carried by four trusted thronebearers. These are treated as a mount, and increases Khalil al-Zahir's Unit S to 5.
As Throt has three arms, he may use both his magic weapons at the same time.
Quick to Fire.
The Thunderbarge is armed with a cannon, which cannot fire grapeshot. The cannon can be fired even if the Thunderbarge marches. If the cannon misfires and roll a "Destroyed!" result, then the Thunderarge suffers D3 Wounds with no saves allowed, and the weapon may no longer be used for the remainder of the game. Other misfires are resolved as normal.
After its crew have attacked, a Khemrian Warsphinx may exchange all of its Attacks to make a single Thundercrush Attack (though it can still Stomp). Roll To Hit against the highest WS amongst the enemy models in base contact. If this Attack hits, place the small template anywhere so that it is touching the Khemrian Warsphinx's base. Any Infantry, War Beast or Swarm models that lie underneath the template (friend or foe) suffer a single S 3 hit. The model under the template's central hole instead suffers a single S 9 hit with Multiple Wounds (D3). Other troop types underneath the template are too big to be crushed, and don't suffer any hits.
Before rolling To Hit, nominate one of the Bastiladon's Attacks as the Thunderous Bludgeon (a different coloured dice works best). This Attack is resolved at S 10 and receives a +1 To Hit bonus against models in the creature's rear arc.
A Razorgor has Strength Bonus (1) in turns when it charges.
A Thundertusk has a Unit Strength of 12.
Twackwheezer Puffshrooms replace the Fanatic's normal S 5 Hits. All models Hit must pass a T test or suffer a Wound which Ignores Armour Saves. This has no effect on Animated Constructs. In addition, all models within 6" of a Fanatic with this upgrade count as being in soft cover.
In close combat Tehenhauin can make an extra D6 Attacks at I 1. These extra Attacks are always resolved at WS 2 and S 2 and have Poisoned Attacks.
The Squig Gobba cannot move after it has been deployed except pivoting on the spot. It may not pursue an enemy it defeats in combat. If the Squig Gobba breaks from combat, it is automatically destroyed.
Before the game starts, but after Scouts have been deployed, a Lustrian blot toad marker can be placed for each unit of Ripperdactyl Riders in your army. A single blot toad marker can be placed on any enemy unit on the tabletop, this marker remains throughout the battle.
When fighting in close combat against a unit with a blot toad marker, the Ripperdactyl's Frenzy grants it D3+1 extra Attacks, instead of just 1 (roll once for the whole unit) and the Ripperdactyls re-roll all failed To Hit rolls.
Models with this rule have Killing Blow and Magical Attacks.
In addition to the normal rules for the army battle standard, units of Undead within 12" of their battle standard suffer D3 Wounds less than they normally would due to Unstable, or following the death of the army's Hierophant.
In addition to the Toad Dragon's normal attacks, it may also make a single special lash attack with its tongue. This single attack may be inflicted against any enemy model in base contact with the Toad Dragon; it is a S 4 Poisoned attack with Always Strikes First. Should the victim survive, they suffer -1 to hit that round of combat.
As soon as the Hell Pit Abomination loses its last Wound, roll a D6 and check the Too Horrible to Die chart. If any of the Hell Pit Abomination's Wounds were lost to Flaming Attacks, the beast is dead and no roll on the chart is allowed.
Any time a Pump Wagon rolls two or more 1's for its movement, it will not move as normal. Re-roll the Random Movement distance (including the extra dice if you were 'pumping harder'), but this time the Pump Wagon will move in a random direction. If the re-rolled movement also includes two or more 1's, then the Pump Wagon has crashed – remove it as a casualty. Otherwise, all Random Movement rules apply, except that a Pump Wagon halted by a friendly unit will inflict 2D6 Impact Hits on the unit that blocks its move.
When attacking Wizards, or models with Daemonic, Undead or Vampiric in close combat, a Witch Hunter re-rolls failed rolls To Wound.
When attacking Wizards, or models with Daemonic, Undead or Vampiric in close combat, a Witch Hunter re-rolls failed rolls To Wound.
One use only. After attempting to cast a spell from the Lore of the Great Maw, a Butcher with a Tooth-Gnoblar may choose to sacrifice one to get +1 to his casting value.
At the start of each of your turns, Fenrir must take a LD test. If passed, Fenrir retains control over his mind and acts as normal this turn. If failed, he will automatically fail any Berserk Rage test he is required to make this turn, but he may also re-roll all failed rolls To Hit in close combat.
Any Daemon of Khorne whose unit is within 6" of a Herald on a Blood Throne of Khorne benefits from the Herald's locus, exactly as if it were in the same unit.
Any Daemon of Slaanesh whose unit is within 6" of a Herald on an Exalted Chariot of Slaanesh benefits from the Herald's locus, exactly as if it were in the same unit.
If Alarielle's makes a successful roll To Hit in close combat, that model is reduced to WS 1 for the remainder of that phase.
All of a model's mundane weapons may be coated with one type of toxin in addition to its Poisoned Attacks. These toxins have no additional effect against models that are immune to Poisoned Attacks.
If Alrik is in the army then Firedrakes, Firethrowers, Gyrocopters, Flame Cannons, Organ Guns, Thunderbarges and Grudgebreakers counts as 2 units for the purpose of duplicate choices that are allowed. In addition, your army cannot have more models of Thunderers than Quarrellers.
A Transmogrifying Gaze does not require a roll To Hit. Instead, when the unit shoots, roll an artillery dice for each Sepulchral Stalker in the unit and add the results together. The target suffers a number of automatic hits equal to the result. When rolling To Wound with these hits, substitute the target's T with its I value. If the target has several I values, always use the highest. Targets with no I value are immune to this attack. Finally, for each Misfire result rolled, the Sepulchral Stalkers suffer D3 automatic Wounds which Ignores Armour saves, as they catch glimpses of their own reflection in their foe's sword blades or polished shields.
Ignores Armour saves. Killing Blow. Magical Attacks. Multiple Shots (3). When rolling To Wound, substitute the target's T with its I value. This attack does not suffer any To Hit penalties.
After deployment but before the start of the battle, any unit of Sibyrian Hunters may elect to put traps in up to D3 terrain features such as woods or rock formations. If an enemy unit enter or are already in one of these terrain features, roll a D6. On a 2+, the trap is sprung. The enemy unit takes D6 S 3 hits with Armour Piercing (1). Each trap will only work once.
Enemy units that successfully charge a unit of Gnoblar Trappers' front must take 1 Dangerous Terrain test for each Trapper in the unit as soon as the charge is completed, to represent the various traps set in front of the unit.
A Waywatcher unit which is within a wood is automatically assumed to set traps around its positions. Any enemy charging the unit through the woods will activate the traps as soon as the enemy unit touches the wood. If the chargers are already inside the wood when the charge is declared the traps are activated as soon as the charge is declared. Roll a dice on the Waywatcher Trap Table to determine the type and effect of the trap.
Models with this rule must test for Treachery at the beginning of each of your turns. Roll a D6. If you roll 2 or more, the unit has passed the test and may fight normally. If the dice roll is 1 then the unit has been affected by Treachery.
To determine what the unit does roll a D6 and consult the Treacherous Gits Table. Note that you do not need to test if the Hobgoblins are already engaged in close combat, fleeing, have pursued a unit of the table or are waiting in Ambush.
At the start of each round of close combat in which they are fighting, models with this rule choose one of the Tree Aspects, the effect of which lasts until the end of that turn or until a new aspect is chosen. This is done before Impact Hits are resolved. All Dryads in the same unit must choose the same aspect. Dryads cannot choose the same Tree Aspects in two consecutive rounds of combat.
A model with this rule can choose to make a single Tree Whack in place of making his normal close combat attacks. If a model is making a Tree Whack, it must be declared before rolling To Hit.
To resolve a Tree Whack, nominate an enemy model in base contact. That model must pass an I test or suffer D6 Wounds with no armour saves allowed. A character with this rule may make a Tree Whack in a challenge.
Tretch can choose one unit of Clanrats or Stormvermin in your army to deploy as Ambushers. If so, Tretch must deploy with this unit. In addition, he and his unit re-roll all failed To Hit rolls when attacking in the flank or rear.
The Monkey King may never be the army’s General, and he may only join units of Monkey Warriors. Enemies within charge distance of him count as being subject to the Berserk Rage part of the Frenzy rule, unless they have Immunity (Psychology) (not including Frenzied models).
Any friendly Night Goblin unit that chooses to flee as a charge reaction and subsequently rallies at the beginning of its next turn may reform as normal, but is then also free to move during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. The unit is also free to shoot as normal (but it always counts as having moved).
After resolving Dorghar's normal Attacks, you may pick one of the following effects if at least one model was slain by those attacks:
Filth-spewer: Dorgar inflicts D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour Saves on one enemy unit in base contact.
Skull-gorger: If any of the slain models were Characters, Dorghar's Khornate head devours their skulls and Archaon heals D3 Wounds up to his starting value.
Spell-eater: If any of the slain models where Wizards, Dorghar's Tzeentchian head devours them, learning any spells they knew and passing them on to Archaon.
Tristan may use a lance even though he has the Questing Vow.
After attacking with Nazgharoth each close combat phase (before Stomps), you may pick one of the following effects. You may not choose the same effect in two consecutive rounds of combat.
Fires of Wrath: Nazgharoth uses a Breath Weapon Attack with S 4 and Flaming Attacks.
Furious Ruin: Nazgharoth rolls 2D6 with its Stomp Attack this phase.
Enraged Roar: All models in base contact with Nazgharoth must pass a T test or suffer 1 Wound with no saves allowed.
To determine what happens in each Close Combat phase, pick a unit in base contact with the Troll Hag and roll a D6 on one of the tables. Which table you use depends on the size of the Troll Hag's victim. If no suitable target is in base contact, roll again on the chart until you get another result. Use the Tiddlers chart when fighting Infantry, Cavalry, War Beasts or Swarms. Use the Whoppers chart when fighting Monsters, Monstrous Beasts, Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry, Chariots, War Machines, and Shrines.
Instead of attacking normally, the whole unit can choose to vomit on the enemy. Each model inflicts one automatic S 5 hit with no Armour saves allowed.
Instead of attacking normally, the whole unit can choose to vomit on the enemy. Each model inflicts one automatic S 5 hit which Ignores Armour Saves.
Queek must issue or accept a challenge if possible. When fighting in a challenge, Queek adds +1 to both his To Hit and To Wound dice rolls.
A unit with one or more Truffle Hounds must place them in the front rank of the unit along with any command group models and/or characters. They may be attacked separately from any other models in the unit.
The Truffle Hounds may be released in the Charge subphase of the Movement Phase, and do not need to test for Berserk Charge. The Truffle Hounds must then declare a charge as if they had failed their Berserk Rage test. After they have been released, they will automatically form their own unit of Skirmishers. From that point, they will keep having to declare charges as if they had failed their Berserk Rage whenever possible for the rest of the game.
Your opponent will only receive Victory Points for Truffle Hounds if the unit they were bought with is destroyed.
A unit that contains a model with Grinderfists, follows the rules for Ambushers. During deployment, but before Scouts are set up, place a tunnel marker anywhere on the battlefield that is not impassable terrain.
When the Stormfiends emerge, roll a scatter dice and an artillery dice. If you roll a hit on the scatter dice, the marker stays in place; if you roll an arrow, move the marker the number of inches indicated by the artillery dice in the direction shown by the arrow. If the marker is moved off the tabletop, the team and its parent unit are considered lost; treat them as casualties. If you roll a misfire, the unit is delayed and you will need to roll the scatter and artillery dice again for them next round.
Once the final position is established, place the Stormfiends so they touch the marker. If the marker is under a friendly unit or impassable terrain, place it next to the closest edge of the unit/terrain. They may face in any direction.
If the marker is under an enemy unit when the Stormfiends emerge, they count as charging. Place the attacking Stormfiends to the front of the enemy unit that is atop the marker.
The Dread Maw moves in exactly the same fashion as a creature with Fly. However, Tunnelers do not benefit from Swiftstride. Additionally, a Dread Maw has Always Strikes First on a turn in which it charges, and any unit charged by a Dread Maw does not gain any benefit from multiple ranks in the first round of combat.
A mount with this rule receives Strength Bonus (2) during the turn in which it charged into combat.
The Griffon gains an extra A.
The Griffon gains +1 A.
Choose which personality of the Cursed Ettin to be in control at the start of the game. At the end of any phase in which the Cursed Ettin has suffered a Wound, it must take a LD test. If passed, the Cursed Ettin retains its current personality, if failed the other takes over.
The effects of the two separate heads are:
The Betrayer: The Cursed Ettin has Hatred and Bitter Cruelty.
The Savage: The Cursed Ettin has +1 S, -1 WS, -1 LD, Frenzy.
Knights Encarmine may re-roll 1's when rolling to Hit in close combat.
Parry (6+). Requires Two Hands. +1 A.
Igor has Fight or Die, but affects all friendly units within 12" rather than the normal 6".
Malus Darkblade may unleash the power of Tz'arkan at the start of any friendly Movement phase. Once the Daemon is released, he cannot be bound back during the battle. If Malus releases Tz'arkan, the following rules apply for the rest of the game:
• Malus Darkblade immediately gains Frenzy and Ward Save (5+), but loses Elven Grace, Eternal Hatred and Murderous Prowess.
• Malus Darkblade gains +1 WS, +1 S, +2 T and +1 I. However, friendly units can no longer use his LD.
• Each time Malus Darkblade makes a To Hit roll of 1, a friendly model in base contact (of your choice) is struck by Malus attack instead. Roll to Wound as normal.
Gitilla, and any unit he is with, can choose to re-roll any Pursuit or Flee rolls they make.
Whilst Chakax is part of a combined unit that contains both a model on Mage-Priest Palanquin and Temple Guard, all models in the combined unit gain Unbreakable.
Enemy units in base contact with a model with this rule suffer -1 to their WS. This has no effect on Animated Constructs.
If, at the beginning of its Movement phase, a Slaughterbrute’s master has been slain (or if it started the game without a master), it is Unbound. An Unbound Slaughterbrute has Random Movement (2D6) and Frenzy. An Unbound Slaughterbrute can never lose its Frenzy, even if beaten in close combat. In addition, an Unbound Slaughterbrute cannot choose the direction it travels in. Instead, roll a scatter dice in the Compulsory Moves sub-phase and move the Unbound Slaughterbrute in the direction rolled (if a ‘Hit!’ is rolled, the Slaughterbrute moves straight forwards). If an Unbound Slaughterbrute moves into contact with the board edge, a building or impassable terrain, it instead stops 1" away.
Unlike other random movement, an Unbound Slaughterbrute can move into base contact with a friendly unit, in which case it will come to a stop and immediately inflict D6+2 S 7 hits on the unit. (If it comes into base contact with more than one unit, you must choose one to inflict hits on.) After resolving these hits, move the Slaughterbrute directly backwards 1", so that it is no longer in base contact with the unit.
Spite Revenants' Hatred applies in all rounds of combat, not just the first. In addition, enemy units in base contact with them must re-roll successful LD tests. This has no effect on units that have Immunity (Psychology).
When Minamoto Kenshin issues a challenge, the opponent cannot choose to refuse it. Furthermore, the Nippon player nominates which enemy character will accept the challenge.
Miners have Ambushers. In addition, instead of deploying like normal Ambushers, a Miner unit can choose to arrive anywhere on the battlefield from below.
During deployment, before Scouts are placed, place a tunnel marker anywhere on the battlefield. The unit will then deploy using Ambushers. When the unit emerges, roll a scatter dice and an artillery dice. If you roll a hit on the scatter dice, the marker stays in place; if you roll an arrow, move the marker the number of inches indicated by the artillery dice in the direction shown by the arrow. If the marker is moved off the tabletop, the Miners are considered lost; treat them as casualties. In case a Misfire is rolled, roll a D6 and consult the Underground Mishap table.
Once the final position is established, place the Miner unit so it can touch the marker. If the marker is under a friendly unit or impassable terrain, place it next to the closest edge of the unit/terrain. They may face in any direction.
If the marker is under an enemy unit when the Miners emerge, the Miners are considered to have charged. Place the attacking Dwarfs to the front of the enemy unit that is atop the marker.
If this model is slain, before removing it, every model within D6" suffers a S 5 Hit which Ignores Armour saves.
Khargrim may not join any units and can never be the army's general.
When a friendly Wizard within 6" of an Unholy Lodestone successfully casts Invocation of Nehek, they may re-roll a single D6 to determine how many Wounds are restored.
For every spell Malagor casts that is not dispelled he gets a cumulative +1 on subsequent casting attempts for the rest of the Magic phase.
At the beginning of the game, secretly roll a D3 and record the number. In the turn that corresponds to this number, Morrslieb is full. For the entire duration of that turn Moonclaw has a +2 bonus to his casting rolls. Furthermore, to represent his ability to call down a shower of warpstone meteors, he may make D3 shooting attacks resolved as if he were a stone thrower for that turn only (even if he moved or marched during the Movement phase). Any results of a misfire cause a single wound upon Moonclaw that cannot be saved by any means.
The Beastmaster and any Tigers and/or Panthers he has under his control must deploy together as a Skirmish unit.
The animals may be released either when declaring charges or when attempting to pursue a fleeing foe. When releasing the animals, they become a separate unit from the Beastmaster for all purposes.
The Beastmaster can decide how many animals he wants to release at any point, and previously released animals may return to the unit by moving within 1” from it unless it is engaged in Close Combat.
If their Beastmaster is killed, any unengaged animals will immediately flee the battlefield. Victory Points are scored individually for Beastmasters and animals.
If a Casket of Souls is destroyed, roll a D6 for every unit (friend or foe!) within 12" of the Casket before it is removed from play. On a roll of 4+, that unit immediately suffers D6 S 6 hits, distributed as for shooting. These are magical attacks, and no armour saves can be taken against them. After resolving the effects of Unleashed Souls, remove the Casket of Souls as normal.
Whenever a Swivel Gunner rolls a 1 to Hit when shooting, something has gone wrong with the firing mechanism. Roll another D6: On a 1, the Swivel Gunner suffers a S 4 hit.
Whenever a Swivel Gunner rolls a 1 to Hit when shooting, roll another D6: On a 1, the Swivel Gunner suffers a S 4 hit.
All models with this follow the Berserk Rage rules from Frenzy. In addition, if they are forced to charge as a result of a failed Berserk Rage test, they may re-roll failed charge distance results.
In the turn in which a Necrolith Colossus charges, every unsaved Wound that it inflicts in close combat immediately allows it to make an additional Attack, up to a maximum of +5 A. Note that these additional Attacks also benefit from the Unstoppable Assault rule, but Stomps do not.
This is a breath weapon attack and any model caught within its template is automatically hit and must take a T test at -1 of suffer a wound with Multiple Wounds (D3) and Ignores Armour saves.
Anytime a weapon that uses Unstable Ammunition scores a result of 1 on its roll To Hit, roll another dice. On a following roll of 1 the gun misfires and the firer suffers the hit himself.
A model with this upgrade has Devastating Charge.
All friendly models with a Caste may detract a D3 from the result of any LD test they are required to take within 12" of a Maharajah, or within 6" of a Rajah.
To fire the gun, nominate a visible target and determine how many shots are fired. To do this, roll a D6 and the Artillery Dice: the result is the number of shots fired.
If a Misfire is rolled, roll immediately on the Blackpowder Misfire table. If firing is completed without a misfire, and the target is within range, roll To Hit with all shots as normal, using the BS of the crew.
If your opponent's army roster contains one or more models from Warhammer: Dark Elves, models with this special rule re-roll all failed Panic tests and have Immunity (Fear).
At the start of each turn, you may declare which song Tristan is singing. The effects of that song last until the start of your next turn – you may then have Tristan continue singing the same song, or choose another. Tristan can only sing one song at once, and will cease singing immediately if he flees or is slain.
The Necrofex Colossus gains Regeneration (3+), but is also subject to the Berserk Rage part of Frenzy.
All models with Vampiric have Hatred against Marianna. In addition, Marianna counts as having Poisoned Attacks against models with Vampiric. However, she may never be the Army General.
Models with this special rule have Killing Blow rule against Vampiric models.
Models with Vampiric have Fear and Immunity (Psychology). In addition, models suffer -1 To Wound against them, unless they are using Magical Attacks or Flaming Attacks.

Models with Vampiric have Fear and Immunity (Psychology). In addition, models suffer -1 To Wound rolls against them, unless they are using Magical Attacks or Flaming Attacks.
The Chimera gains Poisoned Attacks.
When fighting MI, MB, MC or Mo; before rolling to hit, nominate one of the Arachnarok's attacks to be made with the Venom Surge, and roll it separately. This is a Poisoned Attack with Multiple Wounds (D6).
The Manticore gains an additional Attack that has Poisoned Attacks.
The Manticore gains an additional Attack that has Poisoned Attacks.
The Manticore gains an additional Attack that has Poisoned Attacks.
Skretch must include a unit of 20+ Verminous Crew which cost 5 points per model. He must join this unit and may never choose to leave it during the battle. The Verminous Crew are equipped with two hand weapons and have Undead.
If a Skaven player refuses a challenge, a Skaven character is placed in the back rank as normal and may not attack, but the unit may still use the model’s LD value or Hold Your Ground ability.
During the Shooting phase, the Infernal Enrapturess can play either Cacophonous Melody or Euphonic Blast. These are missile attacks.
All friendly units within 12" of the Sandglass have Magic Resistance (1). In addition, the Hourglass generates 1 Power dice and Dispel Dice in the Magic phase.

If a Warboss is your Army General, then once per game he may call a Waaagh! The Waaagh! may only be called if the Warboss first declares a charge, and must be announced immediately after making the charge declaration, before any charge reaction takes place. In the turn a Waaagh! is called, every combat involving Orcs (of any type) in the army adds +1 to its combat resolution for the rest of the player turn. The General himself, and any unit he joins, adds +D3 to their combat resolution instead. In addition, every unit that fails their Animosity test this turn add their rank bonus to the result rolled on the Animosity table.

However, no model may have a Ward save better than 4+ by combining multiple Ward saves regardless of source.
Note that does not stop single Ward saves from being used, such as a model having a listed 2+ or 3+ Ward save; the above limitation only applies to combining Ward saves.

If a number is rolled, centre the small round template where the shot first lands before the bounce, to represent the crackling and exploding ball of energy. The shot then bounces like a normal cannon ball.

This does allow users to roll more dice than is normally allowed by their level. A spell may be cast entirely with Warpstone Tokens if you wish.

Dervishes do not charge like normal units. Instead, declare the unit you wish to charge, resolve charge reactions and roll the charge distance as normal. Turn the Dervishes so they are facing the centre of the enemy unit, and then move the unit forward. If the charge is successful, the Dervishes do not stop once they reach the target but always move their full charge move (through the target unit), emerging on the other side and moving through multiple enemy units if they have enough Movement to do so (stopping within 1" of any friendly units). If they ever end their movement within an enemy unit, place the Dervishes 1" behind the enemy unit.
If they cannot be placed behind the enemy unit due to there not being enough space, they are removed as casualties after resolving their attacks. Any unit passed through in this manner takes D3 S 3 hits with Poisoned Attacks for every Dervish in the unit.
An enemy unit that charges a unit of Dervishes suffers D3 S 3 hits with Poisoned Attacks for each Dervish in base contact, resolved like Impact Hits. Combat is then resolved as normal.
In addition to its normal Impact Hits, the Whirlwind causes D6 Impact Hits at S 5 at the start of each round of close combat. Note that this only applies when fighting to the Whirlwind's front.
