Standard Bearer Combat Resolution Bonus If a unit includes a standard bearer, it adds +1 to its combat result.	Standard Bearer Combat Resolution Bonus If a unit includes a standard bearer, it adds +1 to its combat result.
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).

Fear A unit containing one or more Fear-causing models gains +1 to its Combat Resolution score. 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.

Armour Piercing (1) Wounds caused in close combat by this model inflict a negative armour save modifier as indicated by the number in the brackets, in addition to those for S. If a model has a weapon with the Armour Piercing rule, only attacks made or shots fired with the weapon are Armour Piercing. This rule is cumulative with other sources of Armour Piercing.

Flaming Attacks Models with Flaming Attacks cause Fear in War Beasts, Cavalry, Chariots and Flammable creatures. Any Panic test taken by any of these Troop Types from a Flaming Attack suffer -1 to their LD when taking the test. Unless otherwise stated, a model with this rule has both Flaming shooting and close combat attacks (though any spells cast by the model or special attacks are unaffected).

Vanguard After both sides have deployed all their other forces (including Scouts), but before the roll to see who gets the first turn is made, units containing only models with Vanguard can immediately make a move up to 6" (12" in case they move using Swiftstride) move regardless of their M value (they cannot march and are affected by terrain as normal). 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.

Backstabbers If a Hobgoblin infantry unit with Backstabbers is at least 10 models strong and successfully restrains itself from pursuing an enemy that has broken in close combat, it immediately causes D6 S 3 hits on the fleeing unit before it moves for every 10 full models in the Hobgoblin unit. Wounds from this attack are distributed as wounds from shooting attacks and may be saved normally.

Burn it down! 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.

Champion "Follow Me!" A unit that is accompanied by a champion may re-roll failed LD tests in the following scenarios: • Attempting to March when within 8" of enemy units. • Attempting to Redirect a Charge. • Reforming from Defeat after losing a round of close combat. • Restraining from Pursuit	Champion "Follow Me!"

Swiftstride When charging, units entirely made of models with Swiftstride and M 7 or higher roll 3D6, discard the lowest result, and add the result to their M value. When fleeing or pursuing, they roll 3D6, and discard the lowest result. When charging, units entirely made of models with Swiftstride and M 6 or lower roll 2D6, and add the result to their M value. When fleeing or pursuing, they roll 2D6. Swiftstride M6 or lower Charging: M + 2D6 Failed Charge: 2D6 Fleeing/Pursuing: 2D6 Swiftstride M7 or more Charging: M + 3D6 (discard the lowest) Failed Charge: 3D6 (discard the lowest) Fleeing/Pursuing: 3D6 (discard the lowest)	Swiftstride When charging, units entirely made of models with Swiftstride and M 7 or higher roll 3D6, discard the lowest result, and add the result to their M value.

Cowardly Despoilers 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. However, if they are themselves charged at all, they suffer a -1 to their Combat Resolution bonus in the first round of combat instead. This rule applies to the Hobgoblins themselves, including any Hobgoblin character in the unit, but not to their wolves.

Ded Shooty 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.

Dirty, Rotten, Sneaky 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.

Terror 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.	Terror Models that cause Terror also cause Fear. In addition, the following rules apply.

Fall Over 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 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. 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.	Fall Over A Giant must test to see whether it falls over if any of the following apply:  If it is beaten in close combat.

Fast Cavalry 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.	Fast Cavalry Vanguard Fast Cavalry automatically have Vanguard.

Fly (10) 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 Flyers always move on the ground when attempting to flee or pursue.	Fly (10) Flying models follow the rules for Skirmishers.

Frenzy Frenzied troops gain +1 A and Immunity (Psychology). Berserk Rage A unit that includes one or more Frenzied models can only choose Hold or Stand & Shoot as a charge reaction. If, during the Charge sub-phase, a unit that includes one or more Frenzied models could declare a charge, then it must do so unless a LD test is passed. If the LD test is failed, the Frenzied unit must declare a charge against the nearest viable enemy. A unit that includes one or more Frenzied models that attempts to restrain pursuit if it beats a foe in close combat suffer a LD modifier equal to the result they won the combat against that unit by. Losing Frenzy Frenzy can be lost. Models retain their Frenzy for the entire game unless beaten in combat.	Frenzy Frenzied troops gain +1 A and Immunity (Psychology).

General Inspiring Presence Providing that the General is not fleeing, all friendly units within 12" may use their LD instead of their own, unless specified. If your General has a Line of Sight value of 5 or more, then the range of their Inspiring Presence ability is increased by 6". If a unit taking a LD test has a modifier to its LD, this modifier still applies if the unit uses the General’s LD. If a unit is Steadfast, it may use the LD of the General for Break tests if it is higher than their own LD after applying all negative modifiers from combat resolution. Otherwise, they will use their own LD. Every army must have a General. If your army includes both Lords and Heroes, you must choose a Lord to be the army's General.

Giant Special Attacks To determine what happens in each Close Combat phase, pick a unit in base contact with the Giant and roll a D6 on one of the tables. Which table you use depends on the size of the Giant's victim. If no suitable target is in base contact, roll again on the chart until you get another result. Use the Man-sized Things Chart when fighting Infantry, Cavalry, War Beasts or Swarms. Use the Big Things Chart when fighting Monsters, Monstrous Beasts, Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry, Chariots, War Machines, and Shrines.

Immunity (Psychology) Models with Immunity ignore the effects of the rule(s) in the brackets. Note that the model only ignores the effects of the rule itself unless the attack is also listed as being non-physical. The physical attack still causes damage as normal. Immunity can also include Panic, Fear and Terror. If the majority of the models in a unit have the Immunity (Panic, Fear or Terror) rule, the unit ignores the effects of Panic, Fear or Terror and any such tests it would otherwise had to take. Models that are Immune to all three above effects have Immunity (Psychology). This also includes automatically passing any Psychology tests they might need to take (such as many spell effects or special rules that would otherwise force a unit to take a Psychology test).

Impact Hits (1) The number of Impact Hits is shown in brackets after the rule. If a creature is granted two sets of Impact Hits, use the highest set, rather than a total, before rolling. If a unit contains more than one model that inflicts a random amount of Impact Hits, always roll separately for each model. Impact Hits are only made on the turn the model makes a successful charge into close combat, and only against the unit the model has charged. Impact Hits are resolved at the very beginning of the close combat, before challenges are issued and attacks of any other kind are made. They hit a unit in base contact and are randomised as Automatic Hits. If the model is in base contact with more than one unit, randomise the Impact Hits between them as evenly as possible. If the model with Impact Hits is not in base contact with the enemy, no Impact Hits are inflicted. Impact Hits roll to wound using the S of the model making the Impact Hits. Any armour saves taken are done using the close combat value of the armour, and Parry saves may not be taken. Any Wounds caused by Impact Hits are counted towards combat resolution. Unless specified, any rules that apply to the model’s normal attacks do not apply to its Impact Hits.	Impact Hits (1) The number of Impact Hits is shown in brackets after the rule.

Any armour saves taken are done using the close combat value of the armour, and Parry saves may not be taken. Any Wounds caused by Impact Hits are counted towards combat resolution. Unless specified, any rules that apply to the model’s normal attacks do not apply to its Impact Hits.
Impact Hits (D3) The number of Impact Hits is shown in brackets after the rule. If a creature is granted two sets of Impact Hits, use the highest set, rather than a total, before rolling. If a unit contains more than one model that inflicts a random amount of Impact Hits, always roll separately for each model. Impact Hits are only made on the turn the model makes a successful charge into close combat, and only against the unit the model has charged. Impact Hits are resolved at the very beginning of the close combat, before challenges are issued and attacks of any other kind are made.

Killing Blow If a model with Killing Blow rolls a 6 to wound in close combat, they automatically slay their opponent – regardless of the number of wounds on the victim's profile. Armour saves and regeneration saves cannot be taken against a Killing Blow. Ward saves may be taken as normal. Killing Blow is only effective against Infantry, Cavalry and War beasts. Against other troop types, a successful Killing Blow only inflicts one Wound which Ignores Armour saves and Regeneration. Note that if a Killing Blow attack wounds automatically, then Killing Blow does not come into play. Unless otherwise specified, Killing Blow applies only to close combat attacks. For the purposes of combat resolution, successful Killing Blows score the same amount of Wounds as the slain model had remaining until the point of the Killing Blow was inflicted. Unless specified, Killing Blow only applies to the model's normal Close Combat attacks.

Release the Hounds At the start of any Movement phase, you may choose to release the Hobhounds. If you do so, the Hobhounds will form a separate unit from the Packmaster, and act independently from then on. Once the Hobhounds are released, they will be subject to Frenzy.

Mixed 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.

Multiple Shots (2) 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.

Musician "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.	Musician "Stand Fast!"

Poisoned Attacks A model with Poisoned Attacks gains a +1 modifier to any To Wound rolls. Armour saves are modified by the Strength of the attack as normal.
