(Fixed seemingly ALL special rules texts. Why was the rules text of the actual rule not posted? A lot of these weren't just from any older rulebook, they were just made up. Some of them (Immobile especially) were just flat out *wrong*. If you're going to expand on the meaning, POST THE ACTUAL RULE and *then* do that.)

Must deploy before all other units, ignores all units and terrain when moving/stopping, can’t seize objectives, and can’t be moved in contact with. May only use Advance actions, moving in a straight line by 30”-36” without turning.

May only use Advance actions, moving in a straight line by 30”-36” without turning. If it moves off-table, its activation ends, and it must be deployed on any table edge at the beginning of the next round. Units targeting this model get -12” range and -1 to hit rolls.

Ambush

This model may be kept in reserve instead of deploying. At the start of any round after the first, you may place the model anywhere, over 9” away from enemy units. If both players have Ambush, roll-off to see who goes first, and alternate deploying units. Units that deploy like this on the last round can’t seize or contest objective markers.

AP(X)

Targets get -X to Defense rolls when blocking hits.

Blast(X)

Each attack ignores cover and multiplies hits by X, but can’t deal more hits than models in the target unit.

Caster(X)

Gets X spell tokens at the beginning of each round, but can’t hold more than 6 tokens at once. At any point before attacking, spend as many tokens as the spell’s value to try casting one or more spells (only one try per spell). Roll one die, on 4+ resolve the effect on a target in line of sight. This model and other casters within 18” in line of sight may spend any number of tokens at the same time before rolling, to give the caster +1/-1 to the roll per token.

Counter
