Caelysian Pantheon

Callous

Health Point losses of the model that are caused by friendly models are ignored for Panic (including units destroyed due to attacks from friendly models). The model may use Shooting Attacks against enemy units Engaged in Combat, with the following rules and restrictions: • Friendly units Engaged in this Combat are ignored for Cover purposes (but not for drawing Line of Sight). • Roll to hit as normal against the intended target. Immediately after determining the number of hits, roll a D6 for each hit. On a roll of 4+, the hit is distributed onto a randomly chosen friendly unit Engaged with the original target. Otherwise, proceed as normal.

Whispering Bell

R&F models in friendly units within 12" of the Sacred Platform gain Aegis (6+); Gigantic models and Constructs are not affected.

Sicarran Smugglers

The unit may start the game in Tunnel Reserve. Ambush rolls of units consisting entirely of models with Sicarran Smugglers may be rerolled. This overrides the restriction of rules and abilities not working while the model is off the board.

Mishap

The model suffers a Mishap when it rolls a natural '1' for the type of roll described in brackets (X). If X is Misfirequot;, the model suffers a Mishap instead of suffering effects from Misfire. A roll resulting in a Mishap can never be rerolled and an attack resulting in a Mishap is always lost.

If the Trial and Terror shooting mode was used, the model's unit suffers 2 hits that wound automatically with Armour Penetration 2 instead.

Dire Rats

Endless Tide

Universal Rule.
The model cannot declare any Charges, and other units cannot declare any Charges against the model. The model and other units ignore each other regarding the Unit Spacing rule for all movement and can touch and move through one another during any movement (note that this includes Ambush and that this means that the model can be placed in base contact with other units when Summoned). The model never blocks Line of Sight (remember that this also affects Cover as it can never contribute to Hard Cover).
When the model touches another unit, the model is immediately removed as a casualty, and the other unit immediately suffers 3D6 hits with Strength 2 and Armour Penetration 1. If several units are touched simultaneously, the Active Player chooses which unit suffers the hits. If the model was removed due to another unit moving into contact with it, that unit suffers an additional 2D6 hits.

Imperator

While within range of the model’s Commanding Presence, other friendly units gain Fearless and Unstable and the number of Health Point losses ignored due to Life is Cheap is decreased by 2.

Without Number

If this option is taken for any model in the army, then all models in the army that can take it must take it. When the model is removed as a casualty, place it in a Reinforcement Pool next to the Battlefield. At any time, you may remove 40 models from this Reinforcement Pool and place one of the following Summoned units in Tunnel Reserve: • 25 Vermin Legionaries with a Champion, a Musician, a Standard Bearer with Eagle Standard, and Without Number. The unit loses Scoring. The unit may take Shield and Spear. • 40 Vermin Slaves with a Musician and Without Number.

• 1–2 Oops: Change the target of the spell or Shooting Attack being rolled for to the nearest other friendly unit (to the model making the attack. This unit does not ned to be within Line of Sight or Range.).
• 3–4 Room for Improvement: The model’s unit suffers D6 hits with Str 4 AP 1.
• 5–6 Glorious Success!: No additional effect.

Also add this D6 to the Failed Charge distance. • Immediately after choosing to perform a March Move, gain +D6" March Rate. The effects last until the end of the phase. Immediately before a model is removed as a casualty from the unit, the model inflicts D6 hits with Strength 4, Armour Penetration 0 and Flaming Attacks on all other units within 6" of the model's unit.. These hits are considered Special Attacks.

Phalanx

While the model's unit is in Line Formation, the model must reroll natural to-wound rolls of '1' with its Close Combat Attacks.

Unlimited Power!

A player can only use up to 4 Tunnel Markers

Tunnel Reserve

Certain units have the ability to either enter or start the game in Tunnel Reserve. Units in Tunnel Reserve follow the rules for Ambush, with the following differences:
• Instead of entering the Battlefield from a Board Edge, the owner chooses a friendly Tunnel Marker. Place the unit within 3″ of the centre of this marker. No model can be placed with its centre farther away from the centre of the chosen marker than its March Rate. If this is not possible for any friendly marker on the Battlefield, the unit cannot enter the Battlefield during this Player Turn. Roll again in the next friendly Player Turn.
• A unit that enters the Battlefield from Tunnel Reserve cannot perform any Advance Moves, March Moves, or Reforms in the same Movement Phase. The unit counts as having performed a March Move during the Player Turn it arrives on the Battlefield for the purpose of shooting.
• A unit that enters the Battlefield from Tunnel Reserve in Game Turn 5 or 6 loses Scoring.
• A unit that enters Tunnel Reserve and does not return to the Battlefield before the end of the game counts as destroyed.
