Sentinel

In their Reactive role, Sentinels may gain +1 STK when performing an Attack.

Warrior

During their Strategic phase, a Warrior may shift to a Defensive Stance; the player indicates this by placing a Defensive Stance token next to the model. A Warrior in Defensive Stance has STK of 1 in its Active role and retains the default STK in its Reactive role (the same as if in Active role). The Defensive Stance lasts until the Warrior's next Strategic phase unless specified otherwise.

Glossary

Armor-Piercing

When making a Damage Roll for a Hit with this Trait you only add halved ARM value.

Crouched

The Hitbox of a Crouched model becomes the size and volume of its base. While in this state, the model's Speed

and Armor value is halved and its Attack Strike value becomes 1. Crouched models cannot make other models Engaged (state). During the movement step, a model in this state may only declare Walk or Idle. In the Active role, this state may be voluntarily canceled during the model's movement step. This state may also be canceled with a Dodge.

Engaged

During the movement step when in the Active role, an Engaged activated model may only declare Idle or Walk.

However, if it declares Walk, it can only move directly towards the enemy model that is causing the Engaged state. If a model is Engaged by more than one model, it must choose one of the enemy models causing the Engaged state when declaring the Walk action and it must move directly towards that enemy model. While Engaged, a model may declare only Melee Attack, Assist (targeting itself) or Dodge. A model ceases to be Engaged when it leaves the melee weapon reach of the enemy model, Disengages with a Dodge, or by rendering the enemy model into the Incapacitated, Petrified, Crouched or Dead state. While a model is Engaged, it automatically has LoS to all enemy models that are causing it to be Engaged, but cannot react against models outside of its Awareness.

Fearless

This model cannot become Panicked (State).

Incapacitated

When a model's HP reaches 0,

it becomes Incapacitated and immediately enters the Crouched State. The model retains all other States. An Incapacitated model cannot receive Activation Points and cannot perform Activations nor Reactions. (Note: If it had remaining Activation Points at the time when it became Incapacitated, it keeps them until the End Phase of that turn). This State is canceled if the model regains at least 1 HP. If a model enters the Incapacitated State due to an effect but has more than 0 HP, the State is canceled during the model's next Strategic Phase. When canceled, the model may voluntarily cancel Crouched. An incapacitated Leader cannot use Stratagems. An already Incapacitated model that would suffer another Wound automatically becomes Dead. Unless stated otherwise, it cannot use or benefit from any Skills, Traits, Upgrades, Items, etc., and is ignored for all impacts such as scoring in Quests and Ranged Friendly Fire. They are still hit by Attacks, like AoEs or Sweep Attacks.

Knockdown

A model that suffers a Hit with this Trait becomes Crouched (State). This trait does not affect models two or more Sizes larger than the attacker.

Sweep

On a successful Attack roll, all models within this model's LoS and Melee Reach suffer a Hit.

Two-Handed

A weapon with this Trait cannot be used in combination with an equipped Shield or another equipped Weapon.
