8 - Characteristic Profiles

The Characteristic Profiles of each unit entry contain the values of all of a unit's Global, Defensive, and Offensive Characteristics. Note that the values displayed here represent the models' unmodified Characteristic values, excluding any modifiers e.g. from Model Rules and equipment:

• For instance, in case of Armour, the Characteristic value displayed here represents the models' innate armour (granted e.g. from scales or a tough hide). Any armour from Armour Equipment, like Light Armour in the example above, will have to be added on top of the Armour value displayed in the Defensive Profile. In this example, the models will have an Armour of 3 (2 from the models' innate armour and 1 from their Light Armour), which will give them a 4+ Armour Save against attacks without any Armour Penetration (see ).

• The profile also displays the models' unmodified Strength and Armour Penetration. Any Strength and Armour Penetration modifiers, e.g. from weapons, will have to be added on top. In our example, the models' Close Combat Attacks will have a Strength value of 4 and an Armour Penetration value of 1, due to the innate Strength of 3 and the +1 Strength and Armour Penetration modifiers from the Halberds the models are equipped with.

9 - Model Rules

In this part of the unit entry, the unit's Model Rules are displayed:

• The Global Model Rules comprise the unit's Universal Rules (in alphabetical order).

• The Defensive Model Rules comprise the unit's Personal Protections and Armour Equipment. In case a unit has more than one Model Rule from these categories, Personal Protections will be listed first (in alphabetical order), followed by the unit's Armour Equipment (in alphabetical order).

• The Offensive Model Rules comprise the unit's Attack Attributes, Special Attacks, and weapons. In case a unit has more than one Model Rule from these categories, Attack Attributes and Special Attacks will be listed first (in alphabetical order), followed by the unit's weapons (in alphabetical order).

In some unit entries, you will notice certain Model Rules in bold, like Tin Man's Heart in the example above. Bold font is used here to highlight army-specific Model Rules that are defined in the unit entry.
