v1.3 September 2007


Abilities Some models may have additional abilities or skills to aid them in vanquishing their opponents. •

All points values listed are per model.

Acceptable Losses

Dexterity

A model with dexterity is a master of close combat and may reduce the use cost (UC) of all close combat weapons by 1 action (AC).

Dodge

6 points

A model with the acceptable losses ability may allow all friendly models within command (CO) range to fire on friendly units engaged in melee without making a command (CO) test. Unit Leaders, individuals and characters only.

Any unit that attacks a unit with the dodge ability will be at RA –1 and CC –1 to hit penalty on top of all other modifiers. This ability has no effect against any attack that uses a template.

Psionics with this ability may roll two dice when casting a psionic effect and choose one of the results to determine the success of the effect. Psionic users only.

2 points

Agile

Models with this ability may move across terrain obstacles such as walls and hedges without any movement penalty. The terrain obstacle must be no higher than 1½”.

Evade

12 points

A model with this ability can exhibit extreme luck during combat. There is a 50% chance that a model with the evade ability can negate a successful attack. Only models without any armour whatsoever may use this ability. This is due to the agility required to evade an attack.

1 point

Bloodlust

3 points

This unit has such quick reflexes so that they can quite often get out of the way of impending danger.

14 points

Adept

6 points

If the model is hit by a ranged or close combat attack, roll a D10, on a roll of 5 or less the model will not take any damage and can ignore the hit.

A model with this ability may make one additional 2” follow up move during close combat. This means the model may make up to two follow up moves instead of the normal one.

This ability may not be used if the model is hit by any weapon or psionic effect that uses a template to determine targets.

2 points

Determined

In addition, a model with the evade ability will automatically avoid a collision with a vehicle and will be moved to one side of the vehicles path.

Special attack mode: A model with this ability may re-roll any missed attacks in close combat. The second result will stand and may not be re-rolled again. Fumbles (a natural roll of 10) may not be re-rolled and still end any possible further attacks. However, if the model also has the unerring ability, a fumble is actually treated as a miss and so may be re-rolled using this ability. This ability may not be combined with a weapon with a rate of attack (RoA) greater than 1 or with any other special attack mode. Individuals and characters only.

www.WargamesUnlimited.com

Individuals and characters only.

Execution

7 points

A model with this ability may execute a friendly model within command (CO) range to automatically rally a panicked or terrified unit. The executed model must be a member of the target panicked or terrified unit. The execution ability requires the model to expend 4 actions (AC). No roll to hit or to damage is required. The target model is automatically removed as a casualty.

Page 2.3

v1.3 September 2007


3 points

Expert Landing

Models with jump packs and the expert landing ability may re-roll a failed landing. If the re-roll is failed, the model will go prone as normal.

Find Weakness

2 points per RoA

A model with the find weakness ability is expert at finding the soft spot in armour. Any close combat attacks that hit on a 1 or a 2 count as critical hits. Example : A Soul Stealer with a rate of attack (RoA) of 2 must pay 2 points per rate of attack for the find weakness ability. This will add an ad ditional 4 points to the model cost.

6 points

Great Leader

This character is an inspiration to his men, a born leader and a great tactician; he will inspire his men to do great things. Any unit with line of sight (LOS) to a model with this ability, can re-roll a failed morale test.

Only large and very large living models may use the hurl ability. The strength (ST) of the attack is resolved at the base strength (ST) of the model. This may be increased by customising the hurl ability to provide an additional ST+1 or ST+2 (see below). The model may make a ranged attack with the following profile.

Hurl (1”, ST+0) UC

Knock Prone

This counts as a ranged attack and so the model may use the run and shoot rules.

Hurl (Area Effect, ST)

6 points

A model with the hurl ability is capable making objects around it become deadly projectiles. By ripping up tree stumps, throwing rocks or anything else at hand, the creature can make savage and devastating attacks.


Page 2.4

v1.3 September 2007


Infiltrate

5 points

Some models are expert at advance deployment. Models with the infiltrate ability are deployed after all other units have been positioned. • •

Leap

7 points

A model with this ability may launch into the air using it's great strength. Models must have a base strength (ST) value of at least 6 to use the leap ability.

An infiltrating unit may not exceed six models. An infiltrating unit may not be positioned within 10” of an enemy unit or in line of sight (LOS).

Before rolling for the distance travelled, a direction must be selected. The distance travelled is D10+5” and requires that 5 actions (AC) be used. The full distance must be travelled.

If more than one player has infiltrating units, each player rolls a D10, the lowest result positions a unit first.

The leap may cross any intervening obstacles as long as they are no more than half the distance travelled in height ((D10+5”) ÷ 2). The leaping model may charge into close combat. If the leaping model lands on another model, the victim will take a hit at the leaping models basic strength (ST) value. If the victim survives, place the model at the edge of the leaping models base. Example : A Dozer Bull has moved using 7 actions and has 5 actions remaining. It elects to leap directly ahead towards an enemy unit. The Dozer Bull rolls a 4 on a D10. This is added to 5 to give a total distance of 9”. The Dozer Bull may leap over any intervening model that is no more than 4 ½ ” tall. Strength 6+ models only.

Mobility

Deaths Device painted by Chris Gilders (model © Dark Age Games)

Inspiring Leadership

Models with the mobility ability may move through rough terrain and obstacles at no movement penalty. This includes wooded areas and climbing over walls no higher then the height of the model. Models may still not cross impassable terrain.

9 points

Heroic leaders inspire their troops and can get exceptional deeds from the lowliest of soldiers. Any unit that is lead by a model with this ability may roll 2D10 when making a command (CO) test, and choose one dice as the result.

Parry

The model attempting to parry does so immediately after the attacking model has successfully hit and before any armour save is attempted.

2 points

Models with the jump up ability only use no actions (AC) when standing up from prone instead of the usual 3 actions (AC).


2 points

A model with this ability may attempt to deflect an incoming close combat attack.

In addition, should the unit fail a command (CO) test, the unit may roll 2D10 on the panic table and choose a single dice result.

Jump Up

4 points

Page 2.5

The parrying model must roll under the attackers dice roll to parry the blow. If the parry fails, the model is struck as normal. If the parry is successful, the attack is deflected and has no effect.

v1.3 September 2007


Only models with a CC value of 6 or more are able to take the parry ability. Models with the parry ability may attempt to parry an attack regardless of their weaponry, it is simply the models ability to deflect an incoming blow.

Poisonous Attack

Sacrifice

A model with the sacrifice ability may take all damage originally intended for another model. When damage is assigned to a target model, all damage may be redirected directly on a model with the sacrifice ability within 2”. The model to be sacrificed immediately takes the damage which may not be saved in any way. The originally targeted model takes no damage or effects of any damage whatsoever.

4 points

Special attack mode: A roll to hit of a natural 1, will automatically cause one wound without having to make a strength (ST) versus toughness (T) roll. Not only is the roll to hit a critical hit and thus negates any armour test, the target model automatically suffers one wound.

Blast weapons and teardrop template weapon damage may not be redirected onto a sacrificial model.

The use cost (UC) of a weapon or attack with the added poisonous ability is increased by 1 action (AC).

Example : An Arachnid Warrior bug is advancing on enemy positions accompanied by several Larvae bugs with the sacrifice ability. The Warrior bug is hit by a ranged attack. The Warrior fails its armour save and takes damage from the attack. A Larvae bug within 2” may take all of the damage originally intended for the Warrior bug. The Larvae bug may not save the damage and immediately takes the wound or wounds.

Poisonous attack has no effect against vehicles or machinery. This ability may not be combined with any other special attack mode.

Side Step Precise Strike

If the original attack has a rate of attack (RoA) greater than 1, only a single failed damage attempt may be re-rolled.

A large non-vehicle model with the side step ability may attempt to avoid a vehicle by passing a command (CO) test.

Stability

This ability may not be used with the sure shot ability.

Quick Move

4 points

6 points

The rapid move ability permits a model to spend 1 action (AC) to move 2”. Restrictions for crossing terrain features still apply.

Sure Shot

4 points

Special attack mode: This unit has been trained from infants to use ranged weaponry. A unit with this ability may re-roll any missed ranged attacks once per activation. A natural roll of 10 (a fumble) may not be re-rolled.

This ability is restricted to “appropriate” models such as models on horseback, motorcycles or other such appropriate models.


9 points

Models with the stability ability may never be knocked prone. Models with jump packs and the stability ability do not have to make a landing roll when using jump packs.

Models with the quick move may spend 1 action (AC) to move 1½”. Restrictions for crossing terrain features will still apply.

Rapid Move

1 points

Large living creatures have quicker reflexes than large vehicles and are thus able to attempt to avoid a collision with a vehicle.

5 points

A precise strike allows a model to re-roll a single damage dice. This ability may be used for close combat and ranged combat attacks.

3 points

Page 2.6

This ability may not be combined with any other special attack mode and it may not be used by weapons with a rate of attack (RoA) greater than one (1) or any heavy weapons.

v1.3 September 2007


4 points

Team Work

Models with this ability are expert at swarming over the enemy to bring them down. There is no limit to the combat assistance bonus in close combat. An attacking model gains CC+1 to hit and ST+1 for each other friendly model with the team work ability involved in the same combat.

Unshakeable

An unshakeable model or unit will not suffer the effects of suppressing fire. All models in the unit must have the unshakeable ability for it to be effective.

Unwavering 9 points

Tech

A model with the tech ability is able to use technological training and skill to open secure doors or achieve specific scenario objectives. To succeed in a task requiring the tech (or technician) ability, the model must expend 6 actions (AC) and pass a tech test by making an unmodified command (CO) test. The model may only attempt a single tech test per activation.

2 points

14 points

A model with this ability does not care about injuries to itself or others in it's unit. Any model with the unwavering ability is immune to any morale tests. If a model with the unwavering ability is required to take a morale test for any reason, it is assumed to automatically pass. A unit lead by a model with the unwavering ability benefits from effects of the ability.

One specialist model per unit or an individual.

This ability should only be used for models which would show no fear, such as heroic individuals or beasts of varying descriptions.

17 points

Unerring

A model with this ability rarely makes mistakes. Treat any close combat or ranged combat fumbles as misses. The model does not lose any remaining actions and may continue to attack assuming the model has remaining actions. Individuals and characters only.


Page 2.7

v1.3 September 2007


Traits In most cases, traits cannot be taught or learnt through training. Indeed, some are negative traits which can adversely affect a models performance during a game. • •

All points shown are per model. Where possible, traits should correspond to the models physical appearance.

A trait does not affect the maximum number of abilities a model can possess.

Aquatic

1 points Warrior Bug painted by Glenn Few (model © Ground Zero Games)

Models with this trait are at home in water and as such they may move through any water terrain features without a movement penalty.

Climb

2 points

Models with the climb ability may move straight up vertical surfaces. The distance travelled up still requires that 1 action be used for every inch or part thereof. Only “spider-like” multi-limbed models may have this ability.

Confused

-10% of points cost

This is a negative trait. A model with this trait is easily confused during combat. At the start of the models activation, roll a D10 - on a roll of 10, the model forgets what it should be doing and will not take any actions. This condition only applies if the model is not in close combat. If the model is in close combat, it does not have to make a confusion roll. Example : An ogre with a total cost of 100 points may have 10 points deducted if the confused trait was added to the model.

Devour

-2 points

This is a negative trait. Models with this negative ability will not use the follow up rule after killing an enemy in close combat. The model is too busy feeding on its victim. When the model is activated in a following turn, it may move normally.


Page 2.8

Fear (0) Fear (1) Fear (2)

7 points 11 points 18 points

Some creatures are so terrifying that they cause fear in their enemies. A model or unit wishing to charge a fear causing model must pass a command (CO) test before making a charge, or in response to being charged. The command test is made with a penalty denoted by the number in parenthesis. Fear causing models are not affected by fear causing models with a fear value equal to or lower than their own. Example : An infantryman wishing to charge a Warrior Bug with fear (1) must make a command (CO) test with a –1 penalty.

Flying

10 points

Models with the flying trait may spend 1 action (AC) to move 3”. No restrictions for crossing terrain features will apply to models using the flying ability. Models in flight are assumed to have an altitude equal to half the distance of the move for the purposes of a holding unit acquiring line of sight (LOS). Example : A model with the flying trait uses 6 actions (AC) to move 18”. The model reaches a height of half the movement distance, in this case 9 ½”, and any holding units with ranged weapons can elect to shoot if the flying model presents itself in line of sight.

v1.3 September 2007


Giant Strides

followed by a number in parenthesis with denotes the strength (ST) of the immunity.

Free

Very large biped models will take giant strides across the battlefield. A model with this ability may expend 1 action (AC) to move 2 ½”. The model may step over terrain that is knee height. Generally, knee height for a model may be calculated as one third (33%) the total height of the model.

Immunity (5) costs 7 points per wound. Immunity (6) costs 12 points per wound. Any attack with a strength (ST) equal to or less than the immunity (n) value has no effect against the model possessing the trait. Models may not have an immunity value of 7 or more. Immunity does not provide protection from simultaneous attacks or desperate measures. This trait is to be used on very large and tough models. Large models should be limited to a immunity value of 5.

Large Model

Free for large models

Large models by their very nature tend to be tougher than smaller models. Any large model gains a +1 bonus to its armour (AR) value for no additional points. Large models are immune to fear caused by smaller models.

Devout Titan painted by Chris Gilders (model © Armorcast from a Games Workshop © design)

Hesitate

-1 points

This is a negative trait. Models with this negative ability must pass a command (CO) test before they may use the follow up rule after killing an enemy in close combat. If the model does not pass the command test, it will not benefit from the 2” follow up rule.

Incorporeal

4 points

Incorporeal creatures can pass through solid objects as if they were not there. Incorporeal models may move through any models or terrain features, but may not end a move “inside” another model, unit or terrain feature.

Mutation

Points vary

Some creatures will be subject to varying degrees of physical mutations. Models may purchase mutations at the points value specified for each mutation. Points values are detailed on each mutation card. Models in the same unit do not all have to be afflicted with the same mutation. It is recommended that mutations are applied in direct relation to the model's physical appearance. Mutations will affect the model in a variety of ways and will be described in the mutation text along with any associated points cost.

“Ghost-like” models only.

Immunity (n)

Points vary

Some large models may simply not be affected by low powered attacks. The immunity trait is


Page 2.9

v1.3 September 2007


Points vary

Psionic Users

Masters of psionics are rare in some races and common in others. A psionics user is able to cast psionic effects which can be beneficial to friendly units and devastating to enemies. There are five levels of psionic user, from novice Neophytes to Grand Masters. User Neophyte Novice Seer Master Grand Master

Level 0 1 2 3 4

Points 3 8 12 20 32

A level 4 psionic user is very rare and only one will be present in an army at any one time.

Free

Small

A small model is more difficult to hit with ranged attacks and close combat attacks. Any model targeting a small model has an additional –1 penalty on its RA and CC values. Small models are generally under ¾” (19mm) in height or very slim.

Hydrissian Sentry Gun (model © Alpha Forge Games)

Stomp Attack

20 points

Very large models with legs may make stomp attacks against small and medium sized models within 1” of the stomping models feet. If a model declares a stomp attack, all models, friend or foe, within 1” of the stomping models feet take a single hit at the stomping models basic strength. The stomp attack has a use cost (UC) of 6 actions (AC) and is treated as a close combat attack. There should be a minimum model height of 7” (178mm) to use this ability. However, this may vary with model configuration and the length of the models legs. Models with legs of 4” (102mm) in length can utilise the stomp trait.


BIASI Madcat Ultra-titan (model © Armorcast from a © Wizkids design)

Tail Attack

4 points

Large creatures with tails may use them as a weapon in a melee. A tail attack requires 5 acti ons (AC) to be used. A tail attack starts directly to the center rear of the model and sweeps around in a 180 ° arc to the front of the model. When the tail attack is declared, the path of the tail (either to one side or the other of the model) is announced. The tail attack automatically strikes all models within 1” of the base of the model at a normal strength (ST). Armour saves may be taken as norm al.

Thick Skinned

5 points

Creatures with a naturally tough skin have an innate armour allowing them a save against attacks. Models with the thick skinned trait may attempt saving throws by rolling 2D10 against each attack and select one result.

Unstable

-15% of points cost

This is a negative trait. A model with this trait has a tenuous link to the corporeal world. There is a chance that the model will be summoned back to the void from where it came. At the start of the models activation, roll a D10 - on a roll of 10, the model vanishes and is removed from play. No battle points are awarded for models that are removed from play in this manner.

Page 2.10

v1.3 September 2007


Racial Traits

Hive Mind

A racial trait is specif ic to particular races.

Some species have a central controlling consciousness often referred to as a hive mind.

Racial traits do not cost any additional points. A racial trait does not affect the maximum number of abilities or other traits a model may possess. These are optional rules. When creating a force using any of the races listed here, you may choose not to use the racial trait characteristics.

Hive mind forces are immune to all morale tests. If a model with the hive mind trait is required to make a morale test, it is assumed to automatically pass the test. Hive mind models may never aim ranged attacks.

Brute

Reanimated / Undead

Large and brutish creatures such as Ogres and Dozers are not known for their subtlety. When charging into combat, a model with the Brute trait can make a single push attack for zero actions (AC) on top of all other actions (including the momentum attack).

The galactic undead have a number of special rules.

Actions (AC) gained for a free push attack may not be used for any other purpose.

Dwarven The Dwarf race is famous for its resilience and toughness. Dwarf models wearing any armour protection always have Resilience 2 for no additional points. Dwarf models gain +1 toughness (T) for no extra points cost. Due to their low center of gravity, Dwarf models are more resilient to being knocked prone. If a Dwarf model would normally be knocked prone by a weapon or weapon effect, roll a D10. On a roll of 5 or less, the Dwarf model is not knocked prone. Rank and file Dwarf models have a maximum of 8 actions. Unit leaders and individuals may have a maximum of 9 actions and characters may have a maximum of 11 actions.

Elven The Elven race are famed for their mastery of ranged weapons. All Elven models may reduce the use cost (UC) on all ranged attacks by –1 action (AC).

Rank and file models may have a maximum of 8 actions (AC). Re-animated models may never aim ranged attacks. Re-animated models are immune to the results of normal morale tests. If a model or unit suffers sufficient damage to require a command (CO) test, the test is still made as normal. If the command (CO) test is failed, do not roll on the morale table. Instead, the model or unit suffers one additional wound which cannot be saved in any way. Individual and character models can sacrifice two other re-animated or undead models within command (CO) range from their own force to recover 1 wound. The sacrifice of friendly models does not require any action points to be expended.

Swarming Creatures of a primitive or swarming nature operate on an instinctive level. Their basic intelligence is usually limited with the swarming masses often controlled by a hive queen. Models gain the team work ability for no extra points cost. All swarming models with a points cost of under 100 points each must also use the devour trait.

Rank and file Elven models have a maximum toughness (T) of 4.

One model, usually an individual of some description, may carry the army battle standard. These are the army colours and great courage and pride is felt by its presence. Any unit which has just failed a command (CO) test and also has a least one model within 20” and line of sight to the army battle standard, may reroll the command (CO) test with a CO+1 modifier.

8 points

Focal model . A communications specialist is responsible for keeping in touch with the force commander, be he on the battlefield or further away in a support location. A single communications specialist may be added to a unit. When a unit with a communications specialist declares a charge, the unit gains an additional 2 actions (AC) which must be used for movement. This ability may be used in conjunction with the quick move and rapid move abilities.

Distortion Field

7 points

Zone effect . A model with the tech ability may operate a distortion field generator to provide protection to a friendly unit within the tech models command (CO). The model with the distortion field generator may enable the field when he is activated. Activation of the field generator costs zero actions (AC). All models subsequently making ranged attacks at targets within a distortion field suffer an RA –2 penalty on top of all other modifiers whilst the field is active. No enemy ranged attacks may be made which would pass completely through the area affected by the distortion field. Enemy attacks must be targeted at models inside the distortion field zone and not beyond it.


Page 2.12

v1.3 September 2007


When the model controlling the distortion field is next activated, he may either deactivate the field or attempt to keep it operating. If he attempts to keep it operating, he must roll a 5 or less on a D10. If successful, the field remains active. If unsuccessful, the distortion field burns out and may not be used again. If the tech model is removed from play as a casualty, the distortion field effect is immediately lost. A zone effect may not overlap another friendly zone effect. If two zone effects should overlap, the controlling player must decide which is to be deactivated.

Enhanced Armour Save

Models with an enhanced armour save (EAS) may attempt saving throws by rolling 2D10 against each attack and select one result.

Grappling Line

1 point

Grappling lines may be used by models to assault buildings. A single model may carry a grappling line. Models do not suffer a movement penalty for carrying a grappling line. Not all of the models in a unit need be allocated a grappling line. A number of grappling lines may be assigned to a unit. The actual models do not need to be designated. Regardless of casualties, the grappling lines are assumed to be carried by the last surviving members of a unit.

Holographic Suit

5 points

Models may utilise a holographic suit, the effect of which is to make the wearers appearance shimmer. Models targeting uses of such equipment suffer an RA –2 and a CC –2 penalty on top of all other modifiers when attempting ranged or close combat attacks. If the wearer of the holographic suit is on hold (i.e. the models did not move during its previous activation), the target blends into its background even more and the ranged attack penalty is increased to RA –3. Models with a holographic suit may not have an armour (AR) value exceeding 3.

Jump Jets / Jet Packs

Some assault units and walkers are fitted with jump jets. These allow such units to make powered jumps over obstacles and even charge into close combat.

Enclosed Armour © Mike Wikan

Example : An assault warrior wearing armour (AR5) with an enhanced armour save (EAS) has been hit by two ranged attacks. The enhanced armour save (EAS) allows the warrior to attempt a save against both attacks by rolling 2D10 against each attack. On the first roll, the warrior gets a 4 and a 7. One of the dice rolls has saved against the attack and so no damage is inflicted. The second 2D10 are then rolled to attempt to save against the second attack.


8 points

A model fitted with j ump jets may expend 5 actions (AC) to move up to 15” reaching a height of half the distance actually travelled. A model will always expend 5 actions (AC) regardless of the distance moved. See the movement section for full rules on the use of jump jets and jet packs.

Make Smoke

3 points

A vehicle with the make smoke equipment upgrade may deposit two 3” smoke templates to the rear or sides of the vehicle anywhere during its movement.

The operator must be within command (CO) distance of weapon being fired. The operator does not require line of sight (LOS) to the remote weapon but the weapon must have normal line of sight (LOS) to any target models. A remote weapon may be m oved by the operator if the operator is in base to base contact with the weapon. The weapon is moved at half speed, being 2 actions (AC) to move the weapon 1”. If attacked in close combat, the weapon is automatically hit on a D10 roll of 9 or less, only a fumble will miss striking the weapon. The weapon cost is calculated as normal or a standard weapon can be taken from the heavy ranged weapons list.

Zone effect . A model with the tech ability may operate a shield generator to provide additional protection to a friendly unit. The model with the shield generator may enable the shield when he is activated. Activation of the shield generator costs zero actions (AC). All models within the tech models command (CO) range gain +3 to their armour (AR) value whilst the shield is active. No enemy ranged attacks may be made which would pass completely through the area affected by the shield generator. Enemy attacks must be targeted at models inside the shield generator zone.

Remote Spug Weapon by Chris Gilders (model © Spriggan Miniatures)

Example : A Spug drone is remotely controlling a shard cannon. The Spugs command (CO) value is 5 so the model must be no further than 5” from the remote weapon. The Spug can safely remain behind cover and operate the weapon. When the Spug operator is activated, he may fire the remote shard cannon using his own ranged attack (RA) value but checking line of sight (LOS) and distance from the remote weapon.

Scanner

4 points

Focal model . A single model in a unit may be equipped with a quantum resonance scanner. A scanner will allow enemy positions to be accurately determined.

When the model controlling the shield generator is next activated, he may either deactivate the shield or attempt to keep it operating. If he attempts to keep it operating, he must roll a 5 or less on a D10. If successful, the shield remains active. If unsuccessful, the shield generator burns out and may not be used again. If the tech model is removed from play as a casualty, the shield generator effect is lost at the end of the active models activation. A zone effect may not overlap another friendly zone effect. If two zone effects should overlap, the controlling player must decide which is to be deactivated.

Sniper Camouflage

7 points

Sniper upgrade. A sniper may utilise superior camouflage to avoid taking incoming fire. Models attempting to fire upon a target with sniper camouflage suffer from an additional RA –1 penalty on top of all other modifiers. A model may only have one Sniper upgrade.

Stasis Field Generator

15 points

A model with the tech ability m ay use a stasis field generator to suspend time for a short while in a limited area.

When the model controlling the stasis field generator is next activated, the stasis field will automatically deactivate. The stasis field may not be activated again until the tech models following activation as it must recharge. Once the stasis field has been deactivated, models released from its effect may be activated normally. No enemy ranged attacks may be made which would pass through the area affected by the zone effect, it is an impenetrable barrier.

8 points

Unit Standard

The model with a stasis field generator may enable the field when he is activated. Activation of the stasis field generator costs zero actions (AC).

Focal model . Although not usually necessary in technologically advanced combat units, some units still carry a standard or icon round which the soldiers may rally.

Once activated, all models within the tech models command (CO) range are frozen in place and may take no actions whatsoever.

A single unit standard or icon may be added to a unit.

Whilst the stasis field is operating, models inside the field may not be targeted by ranged attacks, the deviation of ranged attacks, close combat attacks or psionic effects. All models, friend or foe, within the field are effectively removed from the passage of time and anything that may effect them. All models inside the stasis field may not be activated until after the tech model has been activated and the field has been deactivated. Any other effects within or partially within the stasis field, such a smoke, residual damage or any other effect are also suspended for the duration of the stasis field.

A model with a unit standard may add +1 to a units command (CO) value when taking a morale test. If the army battle standard is present in a unit, then it replaces the unit standard. In other words, a unit may only ever have a single model with a standard.

Example : A Leviathon heavy tank armed with a battle cannon, a heavy machine gun and two missile launchers is hit by an EMP weapon. The tanks succeeds in its armour save but has its available actions (AC) reduced from 10 to 5. In addition, half of the weapon systems may not fire the next time the model is activated. The player controlling the Leviathon may choose which two weapons may be fired when the model is activated, he could for example fire the battle cannon and one missile launcher array.

Weapon Traits A weapon may select a single weapon trait. The weapon trait adjusts the weapon cost after the normal points cost calculation has been made.

Backfire

Points –25%

A weapon with the backfire trait suffers from poor construction and perhaps the desire to make a very loud noise when the weapon is fired. This may result in the firing model being knocked prone. On a fumbled ranged attack, the firing model is knocked prone but takes no damage.

When generating a profile for an electro magnetic pulse (EMP) weapon, the points value detailed above is used in place of the weapons strength (ST). The weapon counts as having a strength (ST) of 0 (zero).

One Shot Weapon

Points –50%

A one shot weapon is generally a large missile type munition. The weapon may be fired once per battle. The one shot weapon trait only applies to heavy support weapons.

Bulky

Points –25%

This weapon is crudely designed, bulky and difficult to manage for the user, or requires a long reload time. Because of this, its UC is increased by 1 action (AC) but the points cost is reduced by 25% (rounded up).

Electro Magnetic Pulse

25 points

A weapon that fires a special electro magnetic pulse (EMP) inflicts no damage against the target model. However, the nature of the attack may disrupt electrical and control systems and reduce the number of actions (AC) the model has available for its next activation. Only vehicle type models are affected by a electro magnetic pulse (EMP). Living models are not affected. If the target is hit by the attack, the model will lose half of its actions (AC) rounded down. The model may then attempt an armour save, if the save is failed, the remaining actions (AC) are lost. Vehicle models struck by an electro magnetic pulse (EMP) will also have their ranged attacks reduced by half (rounded down) if half their actions were reduced, and reduced to none if all of their actions were lost.


When fired, a fumbled attack results malfunction and the weapon being lost.

in

a

The points cost for the weapon is reduced by 50% (rounded up). All weapon profile points are calculated as normal before the 50% reduction is applied.

Residual Damage

Points vary

Some weapon effects are able to continue to damage their target after the first hit. For example, the weapon may be of a corrosive nature and so subsequently continue to eat into the target. When a target model is damaged by a weapon with the residual damage trait, place a single residual damage counter next to the model. Each time the model is subsequently activated, it will suffer another immediate strength (ST) 7 damage roll. There is no need to roll to hit and the target does not get an armour save, just the damage roll is made. Residual damage is a cumulative effect and several damage counters may be placed against a target model. The cost of residual damage is equal to half the strength points cost (rounded up).

Page 2.17

The marine is hit and has a counter placed next to it to signify that its actions (AC) are reduced to 4 the next time it is activated. The marine now gets to make an armour save to avoid taking any damage from the dissembler gun. The armour save is successful and the marine takes no additional damage.

Example : residual damage on a weapon with strength (ST) of 7 would cost 7 points. These points are added to the cost of the weapon and detailed as a special rule.

A target model can only lose half of its original actions (AC) regardless of how many times it is hit by a weapon with the shock effect. A shock effect may be added to a close combat or a ranged combat weapon but is limited to weapons with a rate of attack (RoA) of 1.

Snare

4 points

A ranged or close combat weapon capable of delivering a net-like or web-like effect may ensnare enemy models. Such an attack can be very effective against small and medium sized models. Spug Light Infantry with Shard Injector (model © Spriggan Miniatures)

A snare attack has no strength (ST) and will not inflict any damage against a targeted model. The snare trait may only be used with a rate of attack (RoA) of 1.

Shock Effect

24

3 points

A weapon with the shock effect delivers a debilitating blow against living models. Models hit by a weapon with shock effect lose half of their actions (AC) rounded down. Only living models of a small or medium size are affected by a shock effect. Large living models and vehicles are more resilient to its effects and are not affected.


The use cost (UC) for snare attack as a ranged attack or a close combat attack is 4 actions (AC). A model hit by a snare attack must roll equal to or under its base strength (ST) value to avoid the effect of being ensnared. No armour save is allowed and no damage roll is made. If the target model fails its strength (ST) roll, the model goes prone and is unable to make any ranged or close combat attacks until it is free of the snare effect. The ensnared model may attempt to break free the next time it is activated by rolling equal to or under its base strength (ST). An escape attempt requires the model to expend 3 actions (AC). Friendly models may give a +1 strength (ST) bonus if in base to base contact with the ensnared

In the above example, the snare points cost is added to the range cost to give the total points cost for the weapon. Example : A Nid Termagast armed with a web gun targets an enemy scout 18” away. The ranged attack hits the scout, but inflicts no damage. The scout must roll equal to or under its own strength (ST) to break free of the web. The scout fails the strength (ST) test and goes prone tangled in the web. When the scout is next activated, it may attempt to break free again by rolling under its own strength (ST). If successful, the scout may stand up for 3 actions (AC).

Example : A harvester armed with a close combat net attempts to snare an enemy model within 1”. The close combat attack hits the target model and the target must roll equal to or under its own strength (ST) to break free of the net. The target model succeeds the strength (ST) test and so the attack has no effect. The harvester has enough actions (AC) to make another net attack and hits the target again. This time, the target fails the strength (ST) test and is snared and goes prone. A basher armed with a massive club now moves in to combat with the prone target gaining an additional +1 to hit for a prone model.

Weapons that use templates may not use the twin-linked trait. Only weapons with a rate of attack (RoA) of 2 or more may use the twin linked weapon trait.

The twin-linked trait costs 4 points per rate of attack (RoA). Example : A Light Machine Gun with a rate of attack of 3 could have the twin-linked trait added for an additional 12 points.
