Special Rules: Difference between revisions

This rule is used for all weapons that explode on impact with the target or otherwise inflict massive amounts of damage with a single hit.

 

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 individual does not have any flank or rear facing. Consequently, it is able to see, and therefore shoot and charge, all around.

* The individual can make any number of pivots around its centre as it moves, including At The Double!

* Enemies never double/treble their attacks when fighting the individual, including War Engines with the Individual special rule. Similarly, the individual does not double/treble its own attacks when attacking an enemy in the flank/rear. It does still treble its attacks against war engines, however.

* When shooting aginst the individual enemies suffer an additional -1 penalty on their rolls to hit.

* When charging the individual move into contact with it normally, but after making contact, turn the individual to face the front of one of the units you charged it with rather than individual to face the front of one of the units you charged it with rather than the other way around. In addition, if the individual is routed and the charger decides to advance D6” directly forward, it can make contact with another enemy unit. This is treated as a successful charge and the charger is lined up against the new enemy as normal and can immediately attack again! This rule represents the fact that an individual is often not enough to completely stop a charging unit in its tracks. Note that this rule applies to charging individuals as well.
