Army Special Rules

This section of the describes all the different units used in an Arabyan army, along with any rules necessary to use them in your games of Warhammer. Where a model has a special rule that is explained in the Warhammer rulebook, only the name of that rule is given. If a model has a special rule that is unique to it, that rule is detailed alongside its description. However, there are a number of commonly recurring ‘army special rules’ that apply to several Arabyan units, and these are detailed here.

Models with this rule add their combat resolution score to their Unit Strength value when determining if they are Steadfast. In addition, they roll 3D6 for any Break Tests taken in the first round of combat, and discard the highest dice.

Two hand weapons.

Immunity (Psychology), Poisoned Attacks, Skirmishers, Swiftstride, Whirling Dervish, Zealotry

Dervishes do not charge like normal units. Instead, declare the unit you wish to charge, resolve charge reactions and roll the charge distance as normal. Turn the Dervishes so they are facing the centre of the enemy unit, and then move the unit forward. If the charge is successful, the Dervishes do not stop once they reach the target but always move their full charge move (through the target unit), emerging on the other side and moving through multiple enemy units if they have enough Movement to do so (stopping within 1" of any friendly units). If they ever end their movement within an enemy unit, place the Dervishes 1" behind the enemy unit.

If they cannot be placed behind the enemy unit due to there not being enough space, they are removed as casualties after resolving their attacks. Any unit passed through in this manner takes D3 Strength 3 hits with the Poisoned Attacks special rule for every Dervish in the unit.

An enemy unit that charges a unit of Dervishes suffers D3 Strength 3 hits with the Poisoned Attacks special rule for each Dervish in base contact, resolved like Impact Hits. Combat is then resolved as normal.
