Range 30" Shots 1 Strength 4 Armour Penetration 1 Unwieldy
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.
Range 8″, Shots 2, FO Same as user, AP Same as user, Accurate, Quick to Fire
Successful Aegis saves taken against the attack must be rerolled.
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.
Attack Attribute - Shooting.
When using a Bow, the Shooting Attack gains Lethal Strike (against Beast) and Shots 2.
The attack may not be used if the attacking model has made an Advance Move, March Move, Reform or Pivot during
the current Player Turn.
Attack Attribute - Close Combat.
The model part gains +2 Agility. Close Combat Attacks made by the model part gain +1 Strength and +1 Armour Penetration.
The bearer's unit gains Hatred. Model parts with Harnessed are not affected. The model can cast the following three Bound Spells with Power Level (4/8) with Type: Caster’s Unit and Augment, and Duration: One Turn:
Ullor’s Blessing
The target gains Aegis (5+, againstMelee Attacks).
Sunna’s Blessing
The target gains Flaming Attacks. All enemy units in base contact with one or more targets of this spell, when the spell is cast, suffer D6 hits with Strength 4, Armour Penetration 1, Flaming Attacks, and Magical Attacks.
Volund’s Blessing
The target must reroll failed to-wound rolls with Melee Attacks.
Attacks & Weapons, Melee
Unsaved wounds caused by the attacks are multiplied into the value given in brackets (X). If the value is a dice (e.g. Multiple Wounds (D3)), roll one dice for each unsaved wound with Multiple Wounds. The amount of wounds that the attack is multiplied into can never be higher than the Health Points Characteristic of the target (excluding Health Points lost previously in the battle). For example, if a Multiple Wounds (D6) attack wounds a unit of Trolls (HP 3) and rolls a '5' for the multiplier, the number of unsaved wounds is reduced to 3, even if the Troll unit has already lost one or two Health Points previously in battle.
If Clipped Wings is stated after the X value in brackets, any unsaved wound caused by the attack against a model with Fly is multiplied into X+1 instead of X.
When a Character is joined to a unit in which at least one model has Bodyguard, that Character gains Stubborn. When Characters or Character types are stated in brackets, Bodyguard only works for the specified Characters or Character types.
During step 3 of the Magic Phase Sequence, each of the Active Player's models with Channel may add X Veil Tokens to the owner's Veil Token Pool. This Universal Rule is cumulative, adding X Veil Tokens of each independent instance of Channel to the model's total Channel value (so e.g. a model with Channel (1) and Channel (2) is treated like a model with Channel (3)).
Can be fired in two ways:
- As a Cannon Artillery Weapon: Range 72", Shots 1, Str 4[10], AP 0[10], Area Attack (1×5), [Multiple Wounds (D3+1, Clipped Wings)].
- As a Volley Gun Artillery Weapon: Range 12", Shots 2D6, Str 4, AP 4.
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.
If the attack wounds with a natural to-wound roll of 6+, its Armour Penetration is set to 10 and the target of the
attack cannot take a Regeneration save against it.
If more than half of a unit's models are Fearless, the unit automatically passes Panic Tests and Decimated Tests and cannot declare a Flee Charge Reaction (unless already Fleeing). Models that are Fearless are also immune to the effects of Fear.
When a unit composed entirely of models with Swiftstride rolls Charge Range, Flee Distance, Pursuit Distance or Overrun Distance, it rolls an additional D6 (normally this will lead to rolling 3D6) and discards the lowest D6 rolled.
A character with this rule grants the Destrian Discipline rule to any Parent Unit he joins where at least half of the models are equipped with spears or halberds.
A unit in which half or more models possess this rule will not be disrupted by enemy units in its βlank (it may be disrupted from the rear). It does not suffer a combat resolution penalty from being attacked in the rear either. If the general is present in the unit, then the unit may not be disrupted from the rear either.
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.
Up to one unit of Flagellants per army may count as Core (in addition to Sunna’s Fury).
Universal Rule.
When a model with Fanatical is killed by a Melee Attack during any Initiative Step of a Round of Combat it is fighting, remove it as a casualty only at the end of Initiative Step 0.
A unit consisting solely of models with Feigned Flight that voluntarily chooses to Flee as a Charge Reaction, and subsequently passes a Rally Test in its next Player Turn, doesn't become Shaken. Furthermore, the Reform that is made after Rallying in this case doesn't prevent the unit from moving nor from shooting (but it still counts as having moved for shooting purposes). This rule cannot be applied if a unit fails to rally on the next friendly Player Turn or involuntarily Flees, such as a result of a failed Panic Test or if it was already Fleeing when being charged.
Attack Attribute - Close Combat.
A Charging model part with Fire on Impact! using a Pistol, a Brace of Pistols, or a Repeater Pistol always strikes at Initiative Step 10, and has the Strength of its Close Combat Attacks set to 4 and their Armour Penetration set to 2 (regardless of the user's Agility, Strength, and Armour Penetration).
The model gains Light Troops and Swiftstride. Units composed entirely of models with Fly may make Flying Movements when performing a Move Chargers move, an Advance Move, or a March Move. When a unit makes a Flying Movement, substitute its models' Advance Rate with the first value given in brackets (X), and their March Rate with the second value given in brackets (Y). All modifiers to ground movement values are also applied to the flying values of a model. Units using Flying Movement ignore all Terrain Features and units during the Flying Movement (from their starting to their ending position), but must abide by the Unit Spacing rule at the end of the move (unless charging, when the normal exceptions to the Unit Spacing rule apply). They are still affected by the effects of the Terrain Features from which they take off and in which they land.
A unit with at least half its models with Frenzy cannot choose Flee as Charge Reaction, and when taking Discipline Tests, apply the following:
- If it is a Panic Test, Decimated Test or Fear Test: the unit gains +2 Discipline.
- If it is a Break Test, roll the test as normal.
- If it is anyother Discipline Test, the unit suffers -2Discipline.
At the start of the Charge Phase, each of your units with at least one model with Frenzy that could Declare a Charge against an enemy unit within the unit's Advance Rate +7" (using the lowest Advance Rate among the unit's models; if a model has more than 1 Advance Rate available, use the highest one) must take a Discipline Test, called a Frenzy Test. If the test is failed, the whole unit must Declare a Charge this Player Turn. Note that Characters are never forced to charge out of their units.
Universal Rule.
The model automatically passes Panic Tests caused by Terror.
Universal Rule.
Friendly units within 6" of the bearer gain Hatred.
Model parts with Harnessed are not affected.
All Blessings Bound Spells cast by the rider have Type: Aura and Range 6" (replace Type: Caster’s Unit).
The model can cast Unerring Strike from Divination as a Bound Spell with Power Level (4/8).
The model can draw Lines of Sight in any direction (i.e. it is not limited by the Front Arc) from any point on its base (remember that Charge Moves are limited by a single Wheel of no more than 90°, and that Stand and Shoot Charge Reactions can only be done against enemies in the Front Arc) and can always use Shooting Attacks from any rank (they are not limited to shooting from first and second rank).
Units with at least one R&F model with Skirmisher are formed into a skirmish formation. They are not placed in base to base contact with each other. Instead, models are placed with a 12.5 mm distance between them. This gap is considered part of the unit for Cover purposes, and will have the same Size as the models in the unit. Other than this gap between models, units with Skirmisher follow the normal rules for forming units and therefore have a Front, two Flanks, a Rear, can perform Supporting Attacks, and so on. Units in skirmish formation gain Hard Target and Light Troops, never block Line of Sight, and when units in skirmish formation would contribute to Hard Cover, they contribute to Soft Cover instead.
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 gains Fearless and its unit automatically passes all Break Tests. Characters with Unbreakable can only join units consisting entirely of models with Unbreakable. Units with one or more models with Unbreakable can only be joined by Characters with Unbreakable.
Universal Rule.
Inquisitors may join this unit and gain Unbreakable and Fearless while in the unit.
The model cannot Pursue, Declare Charges or Declare Flee as Charge Reaction. Characters can never join units with War Machines, and Characters with War Machine cannot join units at all.
When a War Machine fails a Panic Test, instead of Fleeing it is Shaken until the end of the next Player Turn. War Machines that fail a Break Test are automatically destroyed. War Machines and units Engaged in Combat with them cannot make Combat Reforms.
When a unit charges a War Machine, it can move into base contact by having its Front Facing contact any point of the War Machine's base (it must still maximise the number of models in base contact, see subsection II.1.A “Bases and Base Contact", page 4 and Figure 1 page 4). No Align Move is allowed. Ignore the War Machine's Facing, as it does not have any due to its round base.
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.
A Character with Orders may give a single Order to a Parent or Support Unit within 8". A General with Orders may instead give a single Order to a friendly Parent or Support Unit within the range of its Commanding Presence. Orders are given at the start of each friendly Player Turn. The effects of Orders apply immediately to the target unit and last until the end of the next Player Turn. A unit cannot receive the same Order more than once during the same turn. Only models of Standard Height are affected. The available Orders are listed below:
On The Double!
The target gains +1” Advance Rate and +4” March Rate.
Steady, Men!
Discipline Tests taken by the target are subject to Minimised Roll. A unit that receives this Order and passes a Rally Test doesn’t become Shaken, and the Reform that is made after Rallying doesn’t prevent the unit from moving and/or shooting (but it still counts as having moved for shooting purposes).
Ready! Aim! Fire!
The target gains Accurate.
Brace For Impact!
The target gains Fight in Extra Rank.
A unit is considered a Parent Unit if at least half of its models have this Universal Rule. Parent Units treat all Support Units as Insignificant. When a Parent Unit rolls successfully on a Charge Range roll against a non-fleeing enemy unit, before performing the Charge Move, any Support Units within 6" of the Parent Unit may perform a support charge. To do so, the Support Unit Declares a Charge against the same enemy unit. Apply all of the usual rules for charging for this out-of-sequence charge (such as Line of Sight, Front Arc, must roll for Charge Range, max one Wheel, etc.), with the exception that the enemy cannot choose a Charge Reaction other than Hold. For the purpose of Charge Moves, treat this as any other case of Multiple Charges. When calculating Combat Scores in the following Melee Phase, combine the Rank Bonus of both the Parent Unit and up to one Support Unit that performed a successful support charge (following all normal restrictions), up to a maximum of +6.
The model gains Tall and can never be joined or join a unit (unless it is a War Platform). A model with Towering Presence increases its Rally Around the Flag and Commanding Presence ranges by 6".
Universal Rule.
The unit is treated as Insignificant by Parent and Support Units.
Attack Attribute - Shooting.
The attack gains Multiple Wounds (D3), Lethal Strike, and must reroll failed to-wound rolls.
A unit is considered a Support Unit if at least half of its models have this Universal Rule. Support Units are treated as Insignificant by Parent Units.
Support Units within 6" of at least one Parent Unit gain Fight in Extra Rank and may use Shooting Attacks from the 3rd rank (in addition to the 1st and 2nd). If the Support Unit has at least one Full Rank, it counts as having the same number of Full Ranks as a Parent Unit within 6" for the purpose of being Steadfast.
During the opponent's Charge Phase, Support Units may perform one of the following actions:
1. Immediately after a Parent Unit within 6" voluntarily chooses a Charge Reaction, the Support Unit may Stand and Shoot as if the enemy had Declared a Charge against them in their current position (apply the normal rules for the Stand and Shoot Charge Reaction).
2. Immediately after all enemy units have completed their Charge Moves, Support Units within 6" of any Parent Unit that was successfully charged in this Phase may counter charge. To do so, choose one enemy unit that successfully charged the Parent Unit and Declare a Charge with the Support Unit. Apply all of the usual rules for charging for this out-of-sequence charge (such as Line of Sight, Front Arc, must roll Charge Range, max one Wheel, etc.). When calculating Combat Scores in the following Melee Phase, combine the Rank Bonus of both the Parent Unit and up to one Support Unit that performed a successful counter charge (following all normal restrictions), up to a maximum of +6.
Universal Rule.
Prelates may join this unit and gain Unbreakable and Fearless while in the unit.
