Army Model Rules

Universal Rules Safety in Numbers Non-fleeing units comprised entirely of models with Safety in Numbers add their number of Full Ranks after the first one to their Discipline, up to a maximum of +3 and never above 10. Safety in Numbers cannot be used to modify the Discipline that is distributed by models with Commanding Presence (but the received Commanding Presence can be modified by Safety in Numbers). Furthermore, units comprised entirely of models with Safety in Numbers gain +1” to their Flee Distance rolls.

Callous The model is allowed to use Shooting Attacks and The Awakened Swarm (Hereditary Spell) against enemy units that are Engaged in Combat with friendly units, as long as all friendly units Engaged in the Combat are of Standard Size. All units Engaged in this Combat are ignored for Cover purposes. When a model with this rule targets an enemy unit Engaged in Combat with a Shooting Attack or with The Awakened Swarm , roll to hit as normal against the intended target. Each hit must then be randomised to see which unit it hits. Roll a D6 for each hit. On 3+ it hits the intended target; otherwise it hits a friendly unit Engaged in that Combat. If there are several friendly units involved in the Combat, randomise which one is hit.

State of Trance (X) The model’s unit gains Fearless . The model must be deployed in, and can only join, units that include at least one model from one of the unit entries stated in brackets (X). The model can never voluntarily leave its unit.

Brood’s Courage (X) When the model is within 6” of a unit that includes at least one model from one of the unit entries stated in brackets (X), it may use the Full Ranks of this unit for the purpose of calculating the Discipline modifier it gains from Safety in Numbers.

TagAlong If the model is within 3" of a non-fleeing unit with at least one Rat-at-Arms or Vermin Guard model, it gains Aegis (4+, against Ranged Attacks).

Honourless A Character with Honourless cannot be chosen by the enemy as the model that refuses a Duel.

Dark Shards One use only. A model can use each of its Dark Shards once per game. Declare usage just before the model is rolling a casting roll for a non-Bound Spell. Any Dispel Attempt made against this spell suffers -D3 to its dispel roll (roll this dice directly when using the Dark Shard). If a natural ‘1’ is rolled for this D3, the model using the Dark Shards suffers 1 hit with Toxic Attacks. This is an exception to the Casting and Dispelling Modifier rule (i.e. it is allowed to modify the dispel roll by more than -2).

Handlers The unit may perform Swift Reforms as if it had a Musician.

Weapons Plague Flail : Close Combat Weapon. Attacks made with a Plague Flail gain +2 Strength and +2 Armour Penetration. Unless using another weapon, the wielder of a Plague Flail suffers -1 Defensive Skill. In addition, the wielder gains Grind Attacks (1). This Grind Attack can be made as a Supporting Attack, is resolved at Initiative Step 10 (regardless of the wielder’s Agility), and has Toxic Attacks. This weapon cannot be enchanted with Weapon Enchantments from the Common Special Equipment. Meat Grinder : Close Combat Weapon. When using this weapon, the wielder gains Impact Hits (2D6) and Grind Attacks (2D6). These Impact Hits and Grind Attacks are resolved with Strength 4 and Armour Penetration 2.

Range 18", Shots (2D6)*2, Toxic Attacks, Magical Attacks, Volley Fire, Quick to Fire. If a Standard Size model equipped with a Globe Launcher is within 3" of a unit with at least one Rat-at-Arms or Vermin Guard model when shooting, it may draw Line of Sight to the target as if this unit was shooting instead of itself (i.e. the unit cannot be Fleeing, Shaken, or Engaged). The target must still be within range and in the Front Arc of the model shooting with the Globe Launcher. Naphtha Launcher : Volley Gun Artillery Weapon. 0-3 Weapons per Army. Range 18", Shot s 2D6, Str 5, AP 1, Multiple Wounds (D3), Flaming Attacks , Magical Attacks , Quick to Fire. This weapon ignores to-hit modifiers from Cover and Hard Target .

At the end of a phase in which a unit that consists entirely of models with Fly has suffered one or more hits from attacks with Lightning Attack, the unit suffers an additional D6 hits with Strength 4 and Armour Penetration 1.
