You may choose not to deploy this unit as normal. Instead the controlling player may choose to awaken the Sleeper at the start of any friendly Remaining Moves sub-phase: the Briar Beast is placed completely within any Forests feature on the table.
Before Deployment, after choosing Deployment Zones, an army that includes units with the Ambush special rule must state which of your units with this special rule will use it (starting with the player that picked the Deployment Zone).
Deploy your army as usual, but without deploying any of the Ambushing units. Starting from Game Turn 2, roll a dice for each Ambushing unit at the start of each of your Remaining Moves subphases. After you have rolled for all Ambushing units, each unit that rolled 3+, now enters the Battlefield from any table edge. Place the arriving unit with all of its back rank touching the Board Edge. Ambushing models are free to move in the Remaining Moves subphase, except that they may not March Move, and they must end this Movement Phase no more than twice their Movement value from the Board Edge. If an Ambushing unit has not entered the board (due to failing all its 3+ rolls) before the game ends, the unit counts as destroyed. An Ambushing Character may choose to be deployed within an Ambushing unit that it would normally be allowed to join (declare this when declaring which units are Ambushing). In that case the player rolls once for the combined unit. Until arriving on the Battlefield, Ambushing units cannot do any actions at all, and all items, rules, abilities etc. do not work while not on the Battlefield.
A unit with this rule follows the rules for Ambush with the following exception: instead of entering the Battlefield from a table edge, the unit enters the board from a location called the Underground Point.
To designate an Underground Point, the owning player selects any point on the Battlefield more than 3" away from enemy units and more than 1/2" away from Impassable Terrain. Roll aD6.On a result of 5+,the point stays where itis.
On any other result, move the point 2D6" in a random direction.
- If the Underground Point is located beneath an enemy unit, place the Ambushing unitin base contact with this enemy’s front facing instead (maximizing contact as normal). The arriving unit counts as having successfully charged, with no charge reaction allowed.
- Otherwise, the Underground Ambush unit is placed with the front of its first rank or back of its rear rank touching the Underground Point.
- If it is not possible to place the Ambushing unit for whatever reason,the Ambush is failed and the player must roll for Ambush again next turn.
The Overlord and all model parts in the same unit, except mounts, gain Hatred.
The range of spells cast by the Wizard is increased by 6", except for Aura spells which only increase in range by 3". Vortex spells, Bound Spells and spells with the type Caster or Caster’s unit are not affected. The Wizard may cast the Drain Magic Bound Spell.

Other models with the Front Rank rule have priority for being as far forward as possible.
The bearer gains Steady Aim (see Sea Guard core unit) and Weapon Master (may buy any number of mundane weapons). If the model is on foot, the model’s unit may perform a Combat Reform whenever it is successfully charged. This Combat Reform is performed after all charges against the model’s unit have been resolved, and follow the normal rules for Combat Reforms.
Dwarven Holds armies have a number of Ancient Grudges which confer certain bonuses when attacking specific enemies. The total number of Grudges held by a Dwarven Holds army is calculated in the following manner:
- One Grudge for each Dwarf King in the army.
- D3 Additional Grudges for each Dwarf King mounted on a War Throne.
- One Additional Grudge when facing opponents who field units from the Orcs and Goblins or The Vermin Swarm Armybooks.
For each Grudge held by a Dwarven Holds army,the player may choose one enemy model or unitto be the target ofthe Grudge;this choice is made after theDeployment Phase, and no enemy model or unit may be chosen more than once.All models in the Dwarven Holds army gain Hatred against a begrudged enemy.
When an enemy unit is begrudged, any model which joins that unit also becomes subjectto the Grudge for as long as it remains a part of the unit. However, if a single model is begrudged and joins a unit, the entire unit does not become subject to the Grudge. Characters (that are notthemselves the target of a Grudge)that have left a begrudged unit are no longer considered begrudged.
When charging a single model with Towering Presence or a single model with the Fly special rule, the Apex Predator gains a +2” modifier to its Charge Range.
If a Beast Lord with this upgrade is the General of the army, failed Ambush rolls for units with one or more models with Pack Tactics may be rerolled. Ambush rolls for such units must be made at the beginning of Game Turn 1 as long as the owning player does not have the first turn.

At the end of any phase in which the Hierophant is removed as a casualty, every unit in the army with one or more models with Dust to Dust must pass a Leadership Test or suffer a number of wounds equalto the amount by which the test was failed with no saves of any kind allowed. These wounds are distributed following the rules forUnstable, except that they can never be distributed to models that do not have DusttoDust. The number of wounds inflicted is reduced by 1 if the unit is receiving Hold Your Ground.
At the end of the Player Turn inwhich theHierophant was removed as a casualty, a new Hierophant may be selected.In order to do so, nominate an eligible Character who is a Wizard using Evocation. This Character is your new Hierophant.
At the start of each friendly Player Turn in which the army's Hierophant has been removed as a casualty (and no new Hierophant has been selected), every unit with the Dust to Dust special rule must once again pass a Leadership Test or suffer wounds as described above.
Any unit that suffers one or more unsaved wounds from a weapon with this rule will count all Terrain (including Open Terrain) as Dangerous Terrain (1) and must reroll to-hit rolls of '6'.

The Rakachit Technician can try to prevent it from shooting by taking and passing a Leadership Test. The Dreadmill can shot even if it is Engaged in Combat, is Fleeing or have Rallied in this Player Turn. It must always choose the closest unit as its target (Friend or Foe, the controlling player may choose if several units are equally close) even if it is outside of its Front Arc and/or outside Line of Sight, and even if the target is Engaged in Combat. Each of the three shots are resolved one at a time (measure which unit is the closest, and therefore the target, before resolving each shot).
Electric Discharge shots hit automatically, roll to determine Strength once for all shots in the same phase. If a natural ‘6’ is rolled for Strength the Dreadmill has misfired and must roll on the Volatile Table. However, if the Misfire occurs when the Dreadmill is Engaged in Combat, apply the Malfunction result instead of rolling on the table.

(If there are several War Machines within 3" of the Engineer, declare which one will receive the Engineer's benefits this Player Turn before firing it). If the War Machine uses a Flame Thrower Artillery Weapon, all D3 rolls for the number of hits the Flame Cannon scores on its target may be rerolled.
If this is used, you must either reroll all dice or none.
This rule cannot be used by a model that is Engaged in Combat.
A Field Artillery with this Rune adds +4 to any roll on the Misfire Table.
Once deployment has finished but before moving Vanguard and Scout units, a model with this rule may Entrench one

Before deploying an army that includes units with Scout, you must state which of your units with this special rule will use it, starting with the player that picked the Deployment Zone. Deploy your army as usual, but without deploying any of the Scouting units. These units are placed after all other non Scouting units have been deployed. They can either be deployed in your Deployment Zone, using the normal rules, or they can be deployed outside the Deployment Zone, but must be more than 18” away from any enemy units . This is decreased to 12” if the Scouting unit is deployed whole within a Forest, Ruin, Building, Field or Water Terrain Feature . Scouting units that are deployed outside their player’s Deployment Zone may not Declare Charges in the first Player Turn (if their side has the first turn). If both players have Scouting units, alternate deploying one unit at a time, starting with the player that finished deploying first .
Models with this special rule treat all Terrain as Open Terrain for movement purposes, but cannot end their
movement inside (or within 1" of) Impassable Terrain. Model parts with Ethereal gain Magical Attacks, and
non-mount model parts with Ethereal gain Ward Save (5+), which is increased to Ward Save (3+) against all attacks that are not Magical Attacks. Units including any non-mount R&F part with Ethereal can only be joined by Characters with Ethereal on a non-mount part.

Models with this special rule have Light Troops and Vanguard. If a unit consisting solely of models with Fast Cavalry voluntarily flees as a Charge Reaction and subsequently rallies the next friendly Player Turn, then the unit may move
and shoot during that Player Turn. The rallied unit may not charge and counts as having moved for the purpose of shooting. This rule cannot be applied if a unit fails to rally on the next friendly Player or involuntarily flees, such as a result of a failed Panic Test.
All enemy units in base contact with one or more models with this special rule suffer a 1 Leadership modifier. Models that are Immune to Psychology or that have Fear themselves are immune to the effects of Fear. At the start of each

(D3)"), roll one such Dice for each unsaved Wound with this special rule. The amount of Wounds that the attack is
multiplied into can never be higher than the Wounds Characteristic of the Target (excluding Wounds suffered
previously in the battle). For example, if a Multiple Wounds (D6) attack wounds a Troll (W3) and rolls a ‘5' for the
amount of Wounds, this is reduced to 3 Wounds.

In either case, the number of hits cannot exceed 5.
Some Penetrating attacks have a higher Strength and/or additional special rules stated in square brackets (such as Strength 3[6], [Multiple Wounds (D3)]). If so, a single hit from this attack uses the Strength value and special rules in brackets. The Bracketed values and special rules are not applied to any other hits.
The Infernal Engine may not Declare Charges, Pursuit or Overrun.
Models with this rule may perform a special shooting attack with the following profile: Range 12”, Strength 2, Armour Piercing (6), Multiple Shots (D6+1), Quick to Fire. When rolling To Wound, use the highest Initiative of the model as its Toughness.
Close Combat Attacks made by models with this special rule always wound on to-wound rolls of 4+ (or better if the model’s Strength allows it). When rolling for Charge Range, if the charged unit contains one or more models of the following Troop Types: Ridden Monsters, Monsters, Monstrous Beast, Monstrous Cavalry or Monstrous Infantry, models with this rule gain Swiftstride for this Charge Range roll. This does not apply to Pursuit moves.
Models with this special rule may join units as if they were Characters, even if they are not Characters and even if they are Large Targets, and follow the rules for Characters with regards to distributing hits. While joined to and moving with a unit consisting of 5 or more models (besides the War Platform itself) a model with the War Platform special rule may March even though its Troop Type would normally forbid it, for example if it is a Chariot. When joined to a unit, it must always be placed in the centre of the front rank, possibly pushing back models with the Front Rank rule, and must keep its position in the centre of the front rank at all times. If two positions are equally central (this is the case in a unit with an even number of models in the first rank), the War Platform can be placed in either of these positions. If the War Plattform cannot be placed in the centre of the the front rank (for example due to Mismatching bases or the front rank being too narrow), the model cannot join the unit. This means that a War Platform can never join a unit with Mismatching bases and that only a single War Platform can ever be in the same unit. Models with this rule lose Swiftstride.

If an attack with this special rule, or an attack from a model part with this special rule (both Shooting and Close Combat Attacks), rolls a successful hit with a tohit
roll of an unmodified '6', this hit automatically wounds with no to wound roll needed. Shooting Attacks that need a 7+ to hit (or more) can never benefit from Poisoned Attacks. If the Attack can be turned into more than one hit (such as for a hit with Penetrating or Area Attack), only a single hit (of attacker’s choice)
automatically wounds, all other hits must roll to wound as normal.

The first time a Fire Phoenix loses its last wound, the owner must roll a D6. On a roll of 5+ (or 3+ if this model is a Ridden Monster) place a marker centered on the centre of the model’s final position. If the roll fails then the model counts as a casualty. Otherwise, at the start of the remaining moves sub-phase in the next Player Turn, the owner places the Fire Phoenix model (including its rider if it had one) back onto the table. The center of the model must be placed within 3" of its marker and more than 1" away from other models and impassable terrain, facing any direction (if this is not possible, the Fire Phoenix cannot be returned and counts as a casualty). The returned model is the same model that left the game, including any and all ongoing effects (such as Remains in Play spells affecting the model), with the exception that it always returns with only 1 Wound left.
A model with this special rule is allowed to use non-template shooting weapons against an enemy unit in close combat with friendly units, of infantry, warbeasts or swarms, not containing any characters.

Models with Ricochet ignore the 1" Unit Spacing rule to other units.If aRicochet model contacts another unit(friend or foe), instead of charging, it continues to move in the same direction until it is 1" clear of this unit (and has reached at least its move distance). If this would cause it to contact or be within 1" of another unit, the Ricochet model keeps moving in the same direction, until it can be placed 1" away from all other units (and has reached at least its move distance). If a Ricochet model moved in this way ends its move within 1" of Impassable Terrain or outside the board edge, remove it as a casualty.
Any unit passed through by a Ricochet model and within the movement distance it rolled is hit by a Special Ranged Attack: it suffers X hits, where X is given in brackets. Units engaged in the same Combat are treated as a single unit for hit purposes. The owner of the Ricochet model distributes hits as evenly as possible between all units in the combat, then follows normal rules for distributing hits to models within each unit.
Other units cannot charge Ricochet models, but may charge, flee, pursue or move through them. Units that do so take X hits plus an additional D6 hits, and the Ricochet model is removed as a casualty.
All hits inflicted by Ricochet models are at the Strength of the model and gain Armour Piercing (1).
a) The Ricochet model cannot be placed 1" behind the pink unit, because the green unitistoo close. The model is thus moved through both unitsfollowing its original direction. Only the pink unit suffers the Ricochet hits asthe green unitis not within the rolled move distance.
b) After moving through units, the Ricochetmodel is placed within 1" of Impassable Terrain, and is thus removed as a casualty.

Skirmishing models are not placed in base to base contact with each other. Instead, models are placed with a 12.5mm distance between them. This gap is considered part of the unit for Line of Sight purposes, and will have the same Height as the largest fraction of the models in the unit. Other than this gap between models, units of Skirmishers follow the normal rules for forming units and therefore have a front, two flanks, a rear, can perform Supporting Attacks from the second rank, and so on . Skirmishing units can only be joined by Characters that have the same Troop Type as the unit. A Character which joins a unit of Skirmishers gains Skirmishers for as long as it remains with the unit.

Until released and moved out of their units, Mad Gits cannot be harmed or otherwise affected, or affect the game in any way. When Mad Gits are removed as casualties they do not cause Panic tests. They still move, act and are influenced by special rules independently like normal units (once released) and do not count towards the model count of the unit concealing them.

A War Machine is considered to be a single model with a single set of characteristics, defined as the following:
Toughness Use the machine’s Toughness against ranged attacks and crew’s Toughness against Close Combat attacks.
Wounds Use the machine’s Wounds.
Other characteristics and Armour and Saves Use the crew's Characteristics, Armour and other Saves.
War Machines have separate profiles for the machine and its crew members. Use the machine's Wound Characteristic in all cases. Use the machine's Toughness against ranged attacks. Use the crew's Characteristics for all other purposes. War Machines automatically fail any Characteristic tests except Leadership tests and cannot march or declare charges. If a War Machine fails a Panic Test, instead of fleeing it cannot shoot in its next Shooting Phase. When the model reaches zero Wounds, remove all parts of the combined model as a casualty. Characters can never join units of War Machines. When a unit charges a War Machine, follow the same rules as for normal Charge Moves, except that the charging unit can move into base contact anywhere (since all War Machines have round bases and thus don't have facings). War Machines, and units Engaged in combat with them, cannot make combat reforms. When fighting a War Machine in combat, do not allocate attacks as normal. Instead, at the start of each Round of Combat choose up to 6 models that are not in base contact with other enemies to fight (you must choose as many as possible). Chariots, Monstrous Cavalry, Monstrous Infantry and Monstrous Beasts count as 3 models each, while Monsters and Ridden Monsters count as 6 models each. The chosen models may then attack the War Machine as if they were in base contact, but no other attack can be directed at it, nor can the War Machine attack models outside the chosen party. Casualties among the chosen models are removed from the back of the unit as normal. Therefore if R&F models die before striking, the chosen party size does not reduce in size. Break tests are taken as normal. War Machines that break from combat are automatically destroyed.
Ward Saves are special saves, taken after failed Armour Saves. The value of the save will be stated in brackets. Ward Saves cannot be taken alongside Regeneration Saves (if a model has both, it must choose which one to use).

When using this ability, the spell range is measured using the Vortex Fiend model using its forward arc and Line of sight. Wizards may cast spells with the Type: Missile through a Vortex Fiend even when Engaged in Combat as long as the Vortex Fiend isn’t. If a spell cast through a Vortex Fiend causes a Miscast, the casting Wizard rolls on the Miscast Table as normal and the Vortex Fiend suffers 1 Strength MDU+2 hit.
