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.

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).

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.

Close Support
As long as Field Engineers remain within 3" of other friendly Infantry units with Iron Discipline, they have Ward save (4+) against enemy spells and missile attacks, and may Stand & Shoot against enemies charging their "parent" unit using the normal rules. They are otherwise completely normal units for the purposes of Movement and for determining Victory Points. All units of Field Engineers must deploy at the same time, just like War Machines. Unlike other War Machines, the Dragon's Breath and Hand Mortar may march.

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)

Strider
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.

Dodge (4+)
Models with this rule gain a Ward save against attacks in their front arc (including templates, Stomps and Impact Hits) as indicated in the brackets. This is cumulative with other sources of Dodge. This cannot be used against Magical Attacks that Hit automatically (such as spells or certain special rules), or that have Always Strikes First, nor can it be used if the model is subject to Always Strikes Last. Finally, Dodge cannot be used by mounted models, unless specified.

Emberstorm
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.

Emperor of Cathay
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).

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.

Expendable
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.

Explosive Ammunition
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.

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 (7)
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.

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.

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.

Hatred (Daemons of Chaos)
A model striking a hated foe in close combat re-rolls all failed To Hit rolls during the first round of combat. Sometimes a model will only Hate a specific foe. Where this is the case, the type of foe will be expressed in the brackets. In the case an enemy hates a certain faction, they have Hatred against all models from that army book. In addition, they must also re-roll successful rolls to restrain from pursuit against enemies they have Hatred against. If a unit would gain Hatred in a round of close combat after the first for any reason, treat this as the first round of combat for that purpose.

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.

Unbreakable
Models with this rule have Immunity (Psychology) and pass Break tests automatically. However, they may never choose Flee! as a charge reaction. Characters that are Unbreakable may only join units that are also Unbreakable, and characters that are not Unbreakable are not permitted to join units that are Unbreakable (even if a character is Unstable or was to become temporarily Unbreakable for some reason).

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.

Loremaster (Lore of Heavens)
A Wizard with Loremaster knows all the available spells from their chosen lore (limited by their Wizard level as normal). The lore in question is normally given in brackets as part of Loremaster. If a model knows spells from multiple Lores, then Loremaster only applies to one Lore of your choice.

A model with Magic Resistance gains a bonus to dispel enemy spells directly targeting it (not including templates that are placed on top of it) as well as a Ward save against damage caused by spells. This bonus is based on the number shown in brackets after Magic Resistance. Note that Magical Resistance does not offer protection against Miscasts. If a character with Magic Resistance joins a unit, all models in the unit benefit from the Magic Resistance as long as they are part of the unit. If a model or unit has two sets of Magic Resistance, the two combine to a maximum of Magic Resistance (3), unless specified.

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.

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. Unless otherwise stated, a model with this rule has both Poisoned shooting and close combat attacks (though any spells cast by the model or special attacks are unaffected).

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). 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.

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.

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".

Trickster
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).

War Drum
The War Drum acts as a Musician to all units within 12" (its effects are cumulative with normal musicians). In addition, any Art of War Stratagem tests may be re-rolled. If captured, the War Drum is worth 100 additional Victory Points, just like the Battle Standard.

War Wagon
Unlike other chariots, the War Wagon does not have Swiftstride or Impact Hits, and moves using the M value of the crew. It treats all terrain as Impassable. The crew counts as Infantry for the purposes of resolving their attacks.
