Distracting
Close Combat Attacks allocated towards a model with Distracting suffer a -1 to-hit modifier. This to-hit modifier cannot be combined with any other negative to-hit modifiers.

- Knows 2 spells.
- Can select from the Learned Spells 1, 2, 3, and 4 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army.
The Wizard gains Channel (1) and selects its spells as described in Spell Selection.
Universal Rule.
The Ranger and any friendly unit he has joined may reroll failed to-wound rolls against units with Large or Gigantic Size. This applies only to Shooting Attacks made with Shortbows and Bows.
Model parts with Harnessed cannot make Supporting Attacks and cannot use Weapons. Shooting Weapons carried by model parts with Harnessed can be used by other model parts of the same model (as long as they do not have Harnessed or Inanimate). A model with with at least one model part with Harnessed is considered to be mounted.
Units in base contact with one or more enemy models with Fear suffer -1 Discipline. At the start of each Round of Combat, such units must take a Discipline Test, called a Fear Test. If this test is failed, the models in the unit are Shaken until the end of the Round of Combat. Models that have Fear themselves are immune to the effects of Fear.
- Knows 1 spell.
- Can select between the Learned Spell 1 of its chosen Path and the Hereditary Spell of its army.

.
Range 24″, Shots 1, Str 4, AP 2, Unwieldy
If the attack hits with a natural to-hit roll of '6', the attack causes two hits instead of one.
Successful Aegis saves taken against the attack must be rerolled.
The attack doesn't have any special effects. However, it interacts with other rules, such as Otherworldly. Model parts
with Magical Attacks apply it also to their Special Attacks (such as Stomp Attacks, Impact Hits and Breath Attack).
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.
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.
The model ́s Discipline value cannot be lower than 6 when taking any kind of Discipline Tests regardless of negative modifiers. (e.g negative Combat Score).
In Shooting Phase and Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction the crew can draw a Line of Sight in 360º from any point of the Tabor's Wagon base. Additonally, the Crew and mounted artillery weapon ignore the to-hit modifier for Moving and Shooting in the Shooting Phase.
Universal Rule
The model causes Terror instead of Fear when charging
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.
Units with at least one model with Scoring are considered to be Scoring Units, which are used for winning Secondary Objectives (see section XVI.2 “Scoring Secondary Objectives", page 67). Every army needs a few Scoring units to be able to complete Secondary Objectives, which is why units with Scoring are marked in the Army Books with a special pennant icon:
Scoring can be lost during the game:
- A unit that is Fleeing loses Scoring for as long as it if Fleeing.
- An Ambushing unit that enters the Battlefield on Game Turn 4 or later loses Scoring.
- A unit that has performed a Post-Combat Reform loses Scoring until the start of the following Player Turn.
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.
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.
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 automatically passes Dangerous Terrain Tests taken due to Terrain.
If more than half of a unit's models have Strider, the unit never loses their Steadfast or Rank Bonus due to Terrain.
Sometimes Strider is linked to a specific type of Terrain, stated in brackets.
In this case, models with Strider are considered Striders only when interacting with such type of Terrain.
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.
At step 8 of the Pre-Game Sequence (after Spell Selection) an army that includes units with Scout must state which of its units with Scout will use it, starting with the player that picked the Deployment Zone. Deploy your army as usual, but without deploying any of the Scouting units. These units are placed after all other non-Scouting units have been deployed. They can either be deployed in your Deployment Zone, using the normal rules, or they can be deployed outside the Deployment Zone, but must be more than 18" away from any enemy units. This is decreased to 12" if the Scouting unit is deployed entirely within a Forest, Ruins, Field, Building, or Water Terrain Feature. Scouting units that are deployed outside their player's Deployment Zone may not Declare Charges in the first Player Turn (if their side has the first turn). If both players have Scouting units, alternate deploying one unit at a time, starting with the player that finished deploying first.
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.
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.
Units consisting entirely of models with Fleet of Hoof may reroll pursuit, overrun and fleeing rolls.
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.
Models with this rule cannot use neither the General's Commanding Presence nor Battle Standard Bearer's Rally Around the Flag rule.
Attacks made with this weapon always have armour Piercing 10 and Multiple Wounds (D3).
If an enemy model receives an unsaved wound from attack made by Frostbite, it will receive an additional D3 automatic hits with Strengh 6, Armour Piercing 10 at initiative 0 step of combat.
Any enemy units within 6 ́ ́ of one or more model with this rule suffer -1 Offensive Skill, -1 Defensive Skill and -1 Agility. When this model is removed as a casualty, its Frozen Heart explodes and all enemy units in basecontact suffer an additional -3 Offensive Skill, -3 Defensive Skill and -3 Agility. This effect lasts for one turn.
Universal Rule.
Any unit of Cossacks or Plastoons joined by Ranger gains Feigned Flight and Vanguard.
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.
Inanimate - Melee
Model parts with Inanimate cannot make Close Combat Attacks and cannot use Shooting Weapons. Shooting Weapons carried by model parts with Inanimate can be used by other model parts of the same model (as long as they do not have Harnessed or Inanimate).
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 unit automatically passes all Panic Tests caused by Terror. Additionally, all shooting attacks made with Bow against models with Large or Gigantic size gets +1 to wound and Multiple Wounds (2)
Enemy units in base contact with one or more Flock of Hawks suffer -1 Offensive Skill and -1 Defensive skill
Friendly infantry units within 6'' of the Tabor Wagon receive the Hard Target rule
