Kings of War Specal Rules

If this unit is given any order other than Halt in the Movement phase, any Ranged attacks with this rule that it makes are resolved with a -2 Moving modifier rather than the normal -1 Moving modifier.

In the Movement phase, after this unit has completed its order, this unit and all Friendly Core units within 6” of this unit immediately remove one point of damage previously suffered. Units can only be affected by a single source of Radiance of Life per Turn.

Friendly Core units within 6” of this unit have +n to their Wavering and Rout nerve value to a maximum of +2. This is cumulative if multiple units with Rallying are in range. For example, if a unit with a Ne stat of 13/15 is within 6” of a unit with Rallying (1), its Nerve stat is 14/16. If it moves out of the 6” range, its Nerve stat is 13/15 again. Only the Rout value of a Fearless unit is affected by Rallying.

When attacking an enemy unit with the Infantry, Heavy Infantry, Swarm or Cavalry unit type, a unit with this Special Rule gains (n) additional attacks on its profile until the end of the Turn.

Every time this unit receives a Movement order (including Halt), before doing anything else, roll a number of dice equal to the amount of damage currently on the unit. For every result of (n) or higher, the unit recovers one point of damage previously suffered.

The unit can only make ranged attacks if it received a Halt order in its previous Movement phase.

The unit can make a single At the Double or Advance order after set-up is finished but before the first Turn of the first Round begins. If moving At the Double as part of this order, the unit treats Obstacles and Difficult Terrain as Open Terrain during the Scout movement. If both armies have units with this rule, both players roll a single die each. The highest scorer decides who begins to move one of their Scout units first, then the players alternate until all Scout units have been moved. Players then roll to determine who takes the first Turn in Round one as normal.

If a unit is damaged by the ranged attacks of one or more units with this rule, add one to the subsequent Nerve test at the end of the Ranged phase. If an enemy unit is subject to both the Shattering and Dread special rules, the attacking player must choose to use either the Shattering or the Dread modifiers. Both cannot be applied against the same unit.

Once per game, this unit gains the Strider special rule until the end of the Turn.

When attacking an enemy unit with the Large Infantry, Monstrous Infantry, Large Cavalry, Monster or Titan unit types, a unit with this Special Rule gains (n) additional attacks on its profile until the end of the Turn.

All spells, both Friendly and Enemy, targeting this unit suffer a -1 to hit modifier. Note that rolls of natural unmodified 6s still always hit.

The unit does not suffer from the -1 Moving modifier when making Ranged attacks.

Enemy units making Ranged attacks against this unit suffer an additional -1 to hit modifier.

For each Friendly Core Infantry Regiment, Infantry Horde, Infantry Legion or unit with the Vermin keyword within 6”, increase the amount of dice rolled with Bane Chant, Fireball, Mind Fog and Weakness by 1 to a maximum bonus of +3.
Note: Base size cannot be increased beyond 75x75mm

All Melee hits inflicted by this unit have a +(n) modifier when rolling to damage. This bonus is in addition to the unit’s Crushing Strength (if any). However, the unit loses this bonus when Disordered and reduces this bonus by one when Hindered (to a minimum of zero).

The unit gains the Hex (2) spell. If this unit scores a hit with its Hex against an enemy Hero also carrying a Trickster's Wand, the enemy's Hex spell, granted by its Trickster's Wand, cannot be used for the remainder of the game.

This is the same as the Inspiring special rule, except that it has a range of 9”. Any rule that affects Inspiring also affects Very Inspiring. Ignore this modifier for the purposes of Inspiring - this special rule affects all units, except Inspiring (Self).

Whenever the unit rolls to damage, it must reroll all dice that score a natural, unmodified 1.

Instead of causing damage, if one or more hits are scored, the target unit has a -1 modifier when rolling to damage enemy units during their next turn (any rolls the unit makes of natural six will still cause damage, however). This effect only applies once - multiple castings on the same target have no effect.

Models with this special rule may add (n) to their charge range. This is added after Sp is doubled. For instance, a unit with a Sp stat of 4 and Wild Charge (2) can Charge units up to 10” away. In some instances, the (n) value may be a variable die roll (e.g. Wild Charge (D3)). In these cases, before issuing a Movement order to this unit, roll a D3. If this unit is then issued a Charge order, it may add the result in inches to its total Charge range.

Spell: Range 12", Friendly, CC If one or more hits are scored, for the rest of the turn the unit gains Crushing Strength
(+1). This effect only applies once multiple castings on the same target have no additional effect.

All attacks (Ranged and Melee) against the target unit’s front facing treat its defence as 6+.

If the unit’s attack hits the target, the target suffers a number of hits equal to the number in brackets, rather than a single hit. For example, if a unit suffers a hit from a Blast (D6+3) attack, it will suffer from four to nine hits rather than a single one. Once this is done, roll for damage as normal for all of the hits caused.

The unit may still make Ranged attacks even after receiving an At the Double Movement order.

When testing the Nerve of an enemy unit in Melee with one or more of your units with this rule, add the highest Brutal (n) value to the total rolled. If no value is specified, the unit has Brutal (1).
If an enemy unit is subject to both the Brutal and Dread special rules, the attacking player must choose which to use. Both cannot be applied against the same unit at the same time.

In the Movement phase, after this unit has completed its order, all Enemy units within 6” of this unit take an immediate point of damage. Units can only be damaged by a single source of Cloak of Death per Turn. No Nerve test is required for damage taken from a Cloak of Death.

All hits caused by Melee attacks from this unit have a +(n)
modifier when rolling to damage.
For example: when rolling to damage with a Melee attack that
has Crushing Strength (1), a roll of 4 would become a roll of 5.

Spell: 6", Enemy, CC Roll to damage as normal. If one or more points of damage are scored, choose either the caster or a single Friendly Core unit within 6" of the caster. Remove one point of damage from the chosen unit for each point of damage dealt to the target. If this is case into Melee, the target will not take a Nerve test at the end of the Ranged phase.

While within 6” of this unit, Enemy units have -1 to their Wavering and Rout Nerve values, in addition to any other modifiers that may apply. A unit can only be affected by a single source of Dread – multiple sources are not cumulative. If an Enemy unit is subject to both the Brutal and Dread special rules or the Shattering and Dread special rules, the attacking player must choose to use either the Brutal/Shattering or the Dread modifiers. Both cannot be applied against the same unit.

While attacking enemy Individuals in Melee, this unit doubles its number of Attacks.

The Brood Mother’s Drain Life spell can target and cause damage to Friendly Core units with the Expendable Keyword and when doing so, its Drain Life (n) value is doubled; afterward carry out the rest of the spell’s damage removal component as normal. Damage caused to Friendly units in this way does not trigger a Nerve test

Whenever the unit rolls to hit, it must re-roll all dice that score a natural, unmodified 1.

Melee attacks against the target unit’s front suffer an additional -1 to hit.

Spell: 12", Enemy Roll to damage the enemy as normal. Modifiers: Hits on a 5+ against units in Cover or with Stealthy.

The unit can move over anything and may pivot while above anything, as long as the flying unit's entire move ends clear of any units or Blocking Terrain. The unit does not suffer Hindered charges for moving over Difficult Terrain or Obstacles, unless it ends the move within or touching them. While Disordered, this unit cannot use the Fly special rule. In addition, if a unit with Fly also has the Nimble special rule, then the Nimble special rule is also lost while the unit is Disordered.

A unit with the Frozen special rule has -1 Sp until the end of its next turn, at which point the special rule is removed from the unit. No unit may have its speed reduced by more than -1 in a given turn due to having the Frozen special rule (although other modifiers may still apply). Frozen has no effect if the unit’s Sp is already 4 or below.

While Wavering, this unit may still declare a Counter Charge.

If a unit with this rule begins its turn Wavering, roll a die before declaring a Movement order (including Halt) for this unit. On a 3+ it shrugs off the effects of Wavering and is Disordered instead. Adjust any counters on the unit as required.

The unit fires in high arcs, hitting the target from the top, which means it does not suffer the -1 to hit modifier for enemy targets being in cover. Note that the firing unit does still need to have LoS to its target to fire at it.
