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.

Aquatic
Aquatic models can move within any area of water on the battlefield as if it were open ground. They are still subject to any special effects that specific terrain may have.
The models can march, claim rank bonus and be steadfast even when in water. If every model in a unit is Aquatic, and the majority of the unit is within water terrain, enemies shooting at that unit suffer an additional -1 To Hit penalty.

Magical Attacks
All attacks made by spells and magic items are considered to be magical attacks, as are all attacks that are specifically noted as being magical attacks. Shots fired from magical items are also considered to be magical attacks, unless their description specifically states otherwise. Hits inflicted by rolls on the Miscast table are treated as magical attacks.
Note that spells are not physical attacks unless clearly specified.

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.

Blessings of the Kami
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.

Brilliant Tactician
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.

Hidden
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 (9)
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.

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.

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.

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.

Unstable
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.

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.

Mantlets
Units with mantlets must place them on separate bases in front of the unit. Every model in the front rank must have a mantlet base in front of it, which must also be set up within the army's deployment zone. A unit with mantlets gains a 4+ armour save against missile attacks to its front arc (except attacks that fire like a stone thrower). However, if the unit moves or reforms during the game, the mantlets are removed from play.

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.

Scouts
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. They can be set up either in their controlling player's deployment zone as normal, or anywhere on the battlefield more than 12" away from the enemy. If deployed in this second way, Scouts cannot declare a charge in the first turn if their side goes first.
Note that a character may only join a unit deploying with Scouts if they also have the same rule.
If both players' armies contain Scouts, players should roll off. The players then alternate deploying their scouting units one at a time, starting with the player who won the roll-off.

Skirmishers
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).

Skirmishers
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).

Stomp
A model with this rule can make a Stomp in addition to its other close combat attacks (including Breath Weapons). A Stomp has Always Strikes Last, and inflicts D6 (or D3 against lone Infantry models and skirmishers) automatic hits, at the model's Strength, on one enemy Infantry, War Beasts or Swarm unit in base contact with the model and are
randomised as Automatic Hits.
Unless specified, any rules that apply to the model’s normal attacks do not apply to its Stomps.

Strider (Forest)
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.

Sworn Bodyguard
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.

The Battle Standard Bearer
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".

Ward Save (4+)
The value of a ward save will always be shown in a model's entry in the relevant Warhammer Armies book. These work in the same way as armour saves, and may be combined with other Ward saves as normal. The key difference between ward saves and armour saves is that ward saves are never modified by the S of the attack. 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.
Sometimes a model has both an armour save and a Ward save. Where this is the case, the model takes its armour save as normal. If the armour save is failed (or modified to the point at which the model cannot pass it) then the model takes its Ward save.
Some models may be allowed to re-roll a Ward save from a specific source. In that case, the re-roll will only apply to that specific Ward save, and not the model's total Ward save.
