Special Rules

The BlessingModels with this Special Rule have Ward Save (6+). After all units are deployed, the player may declare that the

Kingdom of Equitaine army is praying before battle, which automatically concedes to the opponent the right to decide

who wins the roll for first turn. If an army has prayed, the Ward Save granted by The Blessing is increased to (5+)

against attacks with Strength 5 or greater. The effect of The Blessing is lost for any model that flees.

Lance FormationThis Special Rule can only be used when mounted. The model gains Fight in Extra Rank. When in a unit with 3 model

wide ranks and charging, models with this rule gain an additional instance of Fight in Extra Rank.

JoustingModels with this rule may switch to another weapon in the second round of combat after charging with a Lance.

TrampleThe model gains Stomp (1) in any turn during which it doesn't count as having charged. Only the mount can use this

attack.

BelovedThe model ignores all penalties for refusing a challenge and loses First in Rank when joined to a unit with at least one

Full Rank of models with the Lance Formation.

Oath of FealtyModels with this Special Rule have Inspiring Presence regardless of whether they are the General or not. However, only

models with the Insignificant Special Rule may receive this Inspiring Presence and its range is reduced to 6. Characters

and Champions with this rule causes their unit to lose The Blessing if they decline any challenge.

Questing OathModels with this Special Rule have Weapon Masters and

Multiple Wounds (2, Monstrous Beasts, Monstrous

Cavalry, Ridden Monsters, Monsters).

When taking a Panic or a Fear test, units comprised of a

majority of models with this rule roll 3D6 for their

Leadership tests and discard the highest.

Bastard Sword (counts as a Halberd).
