Blessed Steel
The model part gains +2 Agility. Close Combat Attacks made by the model part gain +1 Strength and +1 Armour Penetration.
The model part gains +2 Agility. Close Combat Attacks made by the model part gain +1 Strength and +1 Armour Penetration.
Friendly units within 6" of the model gain Distracting. The model can cast Perception of Strength (Cosmology) as a Bound Spell with Power Level (4/8).
Successful Aegis saves taken against the attack must be rerolled.
A model part with Grind Attacks resolves these attacks at its own Agility. It must choose an enemy unit in base
contact with it. The chosen enemy unit suffers a number of hits equal to the value stated in brackets (X). These hits
are resolved with the model part’s own Strength and Armour Penetration.
If a model has both Grind Attacks and Impact Hits
, it may only use one of these rules in the same Round of Combat
(its controlling player may choose which). When several model parts in the same unit have Grind Attacks and when
X is a random number (e.g. Grind Attacks (2D3)), roll for the number of hits separately for each model part.
At Initiative Step 10, a charging model part with Impact Hits must choose an enemy unit that is in base contact with the attacking model's Front Facing. This unit suffers a number of hits equal to the value stated in brackets (X). These hits are resolved with the attacking model part's Strength and Armour Penetration.
If a model has both Grind Attacks and Impact Hits, it may only use one of these rules in the same Round of Combat (its controlling player may choose which). In multipart models, only model parts that also have Harnessed or Inanimate can use their Impact Hits. When several models in the same unit have Impact Hits, and when X is a random number (e.g. Impact Hits (D6)), roll for the number of hits separately for each model part.
Units within 8″ of one or more friendly models with Aura of Power gain +2 Def and +2 Off. Model parts with Mount are not affected. The model can cast its chosen spell as a Bound Spell (5+).
After Deployment (including units with Scout), models with Vanguard may perform a 12" move. The move is performed as an Advance Move in the Movement Phase, including any actions and restrictions the unit would normally have (such as Wheeling, Reforming, joining units, leaving units and so on). The 12" distance is used instead of the unit's Advance Rate and March Rate. This move cannot be used to move within 12" of enemy units. This is decreased to 6" for enemy units which have either Scouted or Vanguarded. Units that have moved in this way may not Declare Charges in the first Player Turn (if their side has the first turn). If both players have units with Vanguard, alternate moving units one at a time, starting with the player that finished deploying last. Instead of moving a unit, a player may declare to not move any more Vanguarding units.
When using a Bow, the Shooting Attack gains Lethal Strike (against Beast) and Shots 2.
Attack Attribute – Shooting.
Attacks made with a Bow gain Lethal Strike (towards Height 5) and Zeal (towards Height 5).
A Character with Orders may give a single Order to a Parent or Support Unit within 8". A General with Orders may instead give a single Order to a friendly Parent or Support Unit within the range of its Commanding Presence. Orders are given at the start of each friendly Player Turn, and their effects last until the end of the next Player Turn. A unit cannot receive the same Order more than once during the same Player Turn. Only models of Standard Height are affected. The available Orders are listed below: Brace For Impact! The target gains Fight in Extra Rank. On The Double! The target gains +1" Advance Rate and +4" March Rate. Ready! Aim! Fire! The target gains Accurate. Steady, Men! Discipline Tests taken by the target are subject to Minimised Roll. A unit that receives this Order and passes a Rally Test doesn't become Shaken, and the Reform that is made after Rallying doesn't prevent the unit from moving and/or shooting (but it still counts as having moved for shooting purposes). d
The model's unit gains Hatred. Model parts with Harnessed are not affected. The model can cast the following three Bound Spells with Power Level (4/8), Type: Caster's Unit and Augment, and Duration: One Turn. Ullor's Blessing The target gains Aegis (5+, against Melee Attacks). Sunna's Blessing The target gains Flaming Attacks. All enemy units in base contact with one or more targets of this spell when the spell is cast suffer D6 hits with Strength 4, Armour Penetration 1, Flaming Attacks, and Magical Attacks. Volund's Blessing The target's failed to-wound rolls with Melee Attacks must be rerolled.
Universal Rule.
The model’s Health Points are set to 8, and its base size is changed to 75×100 mm. The roll for the number of hits from its Stomp Attacks is subject to Maximised Roll.
Universal Rule.
The model gains Battle Focus, Fearless, and Fanatical (see Flagellants unit).
Attacks & Weapons, Melee
Unsaved wounds caused by the attacks are multiplied into the value given in brackets (X). If the value is a dice (e.g. Multiple Wounds (D3)), roll one dice for each unsaved wound with Multiple Wounds. The amount of wounds that the attack is multiplied into can never be higher than the Health Points Characteristic of the target (excluding Health Points lost previously in the battle). For example, if a Multiple Wounds (D6) attack wounds a unit of Trolls (HP 3) and rolls a '5' for the multiplier, the number of unsaved wounds is reduced to 3, even if the Troll unit has already lost one or two Health Points previously in battle.
If Clipped Wings is stated after the X value in brackets, any unsaved wound caused by the attack against a model with Fly is multiplied into X+1 instead of X.
When a Character is joined to a unit in which at least one model has Bodyguard, that Character gains Stubborn. When Characters or Character types are stated in brackets, Bodyguard only works for the specified Characters or Character types.
During step 3 of the Magic Phase Sequence, each of the Active Player's models with Channel may add X Veil Tokens to the owner's Veil Token Pool. This Universal Rule is cumulative, adding X Veil Tokens of each independent instance of Channel to the model's total Channel value (so e.g. a model with Channel (1) and Channel (2) is treated like a model with Channel (3)).
Attacks & Weapons, Melee
A charging model part with Devastating Charge, or using a weapon with Devastating Charge, gains the Model Rules
and Characteristic modifiers stated in brackets. For example, a charging model part with Devastating Charge (+1
Strength, Poison Attacks) gains +1 Strength and Poison Attacks when it is charging. This rule is cumulative: a model
part with several instances of Devastating Charge applies all Attack Attributes and Characteristics modifiers from all
of them when charging.
The model gains +1 Defensive Skill, and the Knight gains +1 Offensive Skill, +1 Strength, and +1 Armour Penetration. Knightly Orders cannot take Great Weapons.
If the attack wounds with a natural to-wound roll of 6+, its Armour Penetration is set to 10 and the target of the
attack cannot take a Regeneration save against it.
If more than half of a unit's models are Fearless, the unit automatically passes Panic Tests and Decimated Tests and cannot declare a Flee Charge Reaction (unless already Fleeing). Models that are Fearless are also immune to the effects of Fear.
When a unit composed entirely of models with Swiftstride rolls Charge Range, Flee Distance, Pursuit Distance or Overrun Distance, it rolls an additional D6 (normally this will lead to rolling 3D6) and discards the lowest D6 rolled.
The model may choose not to move despite having Random Movement, and its Pursuit and Overrun Distance in the Melee Phase are always 0". Before moving in the Movement Phase, the model may choose to replace its Random Movement (4D3") with Random Movement (5D3") until the end of the Movement Phase. If so, the Steam Cannon cannot be used during this Player Turn.
A unit with at least one model with Stubborn ignores any Combat Score penalties to its Discipline when taking Break Tests or Combat Reform Discipline Tests.
Once per Shooting Phase, an unengaged Engineer may select a single War Machine within 6″ that has not fired yet to gain the following effects:
- Replace the Aim of one of the War Machine's Artillery Weapons with the value given in brackets (X+).
- You may reroll the roll on the Misfire Table.
- You may reroll the dice (all of them or none) for determining the number of hits of a Flamethrower Artillery Weapon.
The model gains Fear and is immune to the effects of Terror. When a unit with one or more models with Terror Declares a Charge, its target must take a Panic Test. If the test is failed, the target of the charge must declare a Flee Charge Reaction, if able to do so.
When the model is joined to a unit of Knightly Orders, the unit gains Fearless, and if the model is the General, the R&F models in the unit also gain Parent Unit.
When a model with Fanatical is killed by a Melee Attack during any Initiative Step of a Round of Combat it is fighting, remove it as a casualty only at the end of Initiative Step 0.
A unit consisting solely of models with Feigned Flight that voluntarily chooses to Flee as a Charge Reaction, and subsequently passes a Rally Test in its next Player Turn, doesn't become Shaken. Furthermore, the Reform that is made after Rallying in this case doesn't prevent the unit from moving nor from shooting (but it still counts as having moved for shooting purposes). This rule cannot be applied if a unit fails to rally on the next friendly Player Turn or involuntarily Flees, such as a result of a failed Panic Test or if it was already Fleeing when being charged.
A Charging model part with Fire on Impact! using a Pistol, a Brace of Pistols, or a Repeater Pistol always strikes at Initiative Step 10, and the Strength of its Close Combat Attacks is set to 4 and their Armour Penetration is set to 2 (regardless of the user's Agility, Strength, and Armour Penetration).
The model gains Light Troops and Swiftstride. Units composed entirely of models with Fly may make Flying Movements when performing a Move Chargers move, an Advance Move, or a March Move. When a unit makes a Flying Movement, substitute its models' Advance Rate with the first value given in brackets (X), and their March Rate with the second value given in brackets (Y). All modifiers to ground movement values are also applied to the flying values of a model. Units using Flying Movement ignore all Terrain Features and units during the Flying Movement (from their starting to their ending position), but must abide by the Unit Spacing rule at the end of the move (unless charging, when the normal exceptions to the Unit Spacing rule apply). They are still affected by the effects of the Terrain Features from which they take off and in which they land.
Friendly units within 6" of the model gain Lightning Reflexes. The model can cast Ice and Fire (Cosmology) as a Bound Spell with Power Level (4/8).
At the start of the Charge Phase, each of your nonFleeing units with at least one model with Frenzy that is unengaged, does not contain any Shaken models, and has an enemy unit inside its Front Arc within the unit’s Advance Rate +7″ must take a Discipline Test, called a Frenzy Test. If the test is failed, the whole unit must declare a Charge this Player Turn if possible.
Frenzy Tests and Restrain Pursuit Tests taken by units with at least one model with Frenzy are subject to Maximised Roll.
If there are different Advance Rates available in the unit, the Advance Rate used for the Frenzy Test and for the Charge Range is determined as follows:
• If a model has more than one Advance Rate (e.g. due to Fly), the model must use the Advance Rate that has the highest chance of completing the Charge.
• If a unit contains models with different Advance Rates, the unit must use the highest Advance Rate that all models in the unit can use (which will usually be the lowest Advance Rate in the unit).
For example, a model with Advance Rate 2″ and Fly (8″, 16″) must use the Advance Rate from Fly. And if a Character in a Combined Unit has Advance Rate 4″ while the R&F models have 6″, the Combined Unit must use Advance Rate 4″. Note that when a unit is forced to declare a Charge due to a failed Frenzy Test, it is not forced to Charge the enemy unit that triggered the Frenzy Test.
Universal Rule.
The model gains Support Unit.
The model may give two Orders per turn instead of one.
A unit is considered a Parent Unit if at least half of its models have this Universal Rule. Parent Units treat all Support Units as Insignificant. Immediately after a Parent Unit passes a Charge Range roll against a non-Fleeing enemy unit in the Charge Phase, before performing the Charge Move, any Support Units within 8" of the Parent Unit may perform a Support Charge. To do so, the whole Support Unit declares a Charge against the same enemy unit. Apply all of the usual rules for Charging for this out-of-sequence Charge (such as Line of Sight, Front Arc, must roll for Charge Range, max. one Wheel, etc.), with the exception that the enemy cannot choose a Charge Reaction other than Hold. For the purpose of Charge Moves, treat this as any other case of Combined Charges. When calculating Combat Scores in the following Melee Phase, combine the Rank Bonus of both the Parent Unit and up to one Support Unit that performed a successful Support Charge (following all normal restrictions), up to a maximum of +6.
Friendly units within 6" of the model gain Hatred. Model parts with Harnessed are not affected. For Bound Spells from Blessings cast by the rider, Type: Caster's Unit is replaced with Type: 6" Aura. The model can cast Unerring Strike (Divination) as a Bound Spell with Power Level (4/8).
The model can draw Lines of Sight in any direction (i.e. it is not limited by the Front Arc) from any point on its base (remember that Charge Moves are limited by a single Wheel of no more than 90°, and that Stand and Shoot Charge Reactions can only be done against enemies in the Front Arc) and can always use Shooting Attacks from any rank (they are not limited to shooting from first and second rank).
Units with at least one R&F model with Skirmisher are formed into a skirmish formation. They are not placed in base to base contact with each other. Instead, models are placed with a 12.5 mm distance between them. This gap is considered part of the unit for Cover purposes, and will have the same Size as the models in the unit. Other than this gap between models, units with Skirmisher follow the normal rules for forming units and therefore have a Front, two Flanks, a Rear, can perform Supporting Attacks, and so on. Units in skirmish formation gain Hard Target and Light Troops, never block Line of Sight, and when units in skirmish formation would contribute to Hard Cover, they contribute to Soft Cover instead.
The model part gains +1 Attack Value, is equipped with a Hand Weapon enchanted with The Light of Sonnstahl, and may only take up to 50 pts of Special Items.
The model gains Hard Target (1) and Skirmisher.
The model cannot be the General.
Units composed entirely of models with Light Troops are allowed to make any number of Reforms when performing Advance Moves or March Moves. They are allowed to shoot even if they Marched or Reformed. No model can end its movement with its centre further away than its March Rate from its starting position, around any obstructions (including the Unit Spacing rule). This means that when checking the distance travelled by a model, check the path the model would have taken if it was alone, with the exception that the unit as a whole cannot break the Unit Spacing rule while performing the move. If a model performed any action during the movement (such as a Sweeping Attack), the distance moved is counted from its starting position to the point on the Battlefield where it performed that action and then to its final position.
If more than half the models in a unit have Light Troops, the unit always counts as having 0 Full Ranks. Characters with Light Troops that are joined to units with one or more models without Light Troops, lose this rule for as long as they remain with the unit. An Infantry Character joined to an Infantry unit with both Light Troops and the same Size as the Character gains Light Troops for as long as it remains with the unit.
The Master Artificer may give the Order Ready! Aim! Fire! to a Parent Unit or Support Unit it has joined.
Universal Rule.
The model may give two Orders per turn instead of one.
The unit cannot Declare Charges and cannot move normally (Advance, March, Reform) in the Movement Phase (which also means they cannot perform Magical Moves). The model loses Swiftstride (and can never gain it), but always charges, Flees, Pursues and Overruns the distance stated in brackets.
In the Movement Phase, at the end of step 2 of the the it with Random Movement moves using the rules for Pursuing units, except that they can freely choose which direction to rotate towards before rolling the Pursuit Distance, cannot move off the Board Edge and only take Dangerous Terrain Tests if they actually charge an enemy unit (they still test as normal when Fleeing, Pursuing a Broken enemy or Overrunning).
Whenever a unit with Random Movement needs a March Rate (e.g. when Post-Combat Reforming), use the potential maximum value of X as its March Rate.
Characters with Random Movement can only join units with Random Movement (by moving into contact with them during the Movement Phase or by being deployed inside), and units with Random Movement can only be joined by Characters with Random Movement. Units with Random Movement cannot enter Buildings. If a unit has several sets of Random Movement, use the one with the lowest average (in case of a tie, you may choose which version to use). A model with Random Movement cannot move in the same phase as it arrives on the Battlefield as Reinforcement (Dawn Assault) or Ambusher.
The attack gains Lethal Strike, Multiple Wounds (D3), and must reroll failed to-wound rolls.
Attack Attribute – Close Combat.
Whenever the model loses a Health Point, it gains +1 Attack Value. Whenever it gains a Health Point, it suffers −1 Attack Value.
The unit is treated as Insignificant by Parent and Support Units.
Name Aim Range Shots Str AP Attack Attributes
Steam Cannon 3+ 36″ 1 5 2 Area Attack (1×5), Artillery, Direct Hit (D3+1), Unwieldy (1)
A unit is considered a Support Unit if at least half of its models have this Universal Rule. Support Units are treated as Insignificant by Parent Units. Support Units within 8" of at least one Parent Unit gain Fight in Extra Rank and may use Shooting Attacks from the third rank (in addition to the first and second). If the Support Unit has at least one Full Rank, it counts as having the same number of Full Ranks as a Parent Unit within 8" for the purpose of being Steadfast if it has fewer Full Ranks than the Parent Unit. During the opponent's Charge Phase, Support Units may perform one of the following actions: 1. Immediately after an unengaged Parent Unit within 8" declares a Charge Reaction other than a mandatory Flee Charge Reaction, the Support Unit may Stand and Shoot as if the enemy had declared a Charge against them in their current position (apply the normal rules for the Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction). 2. Immediately after all enemy units have completed their Charge Moves, Support Units within 8" of any Parent Unit that was successfully Charged in this phase may Counter Charge. To do so, choose one enemy unit that successfully Charged the Parent Unit and declare a Charge with the whole Support Unit. Apply all the usual rules for Charging for this out-of-sequence Charge (such as Line of Sight, Front Arc, must roll for Charge Range, max. one Wheel, etc.). When calculating Combat Scores in the following Melee Phase, combine the Rank Bonus of both the Parent Unit and up to one Support Unit that performed a successful Counter Charge (following all normal restrictions), up to a maximum of +6.
Prelates may join the unit and gain Fearless and Unbreakable while joined to the unit.
