Common rules
-
Mettle
This unit does not count as being Wounded by a failed Grit Check and instead receives the Disordered Condition (even if not normally able to be Disordered or if the hit would cause them to become Disordered anyway). If the unit is already Disordered, it is Wounded as normal.
-
The Quick and the Dead
Once per turn, unless Hunkered, this unit may declare they will use this rule against an enemy model’s Combat Action that declares them as the Initial Target (but before dice are rolled). This unit must make a Quick Check. Should they pass the Quick Check, all hits from that model’s Action against this unit are ignored and this unit becomes Hunkered. If this unit fails the Quick Check, then they are hit as normal. You may not use this rule against hits using Blast or Torrent templates.
-
Elite
The unit may choose to count the Guts bonus provided by Adventure Cards played during their Activation as being +1 Action Point instead of the actual bonus printed on the cards. Units with the ELITE skill automatically pass YELLER checks.
-
Target priority
This unit may only be targeted by a Shoot Action if they are the closest enemy unit in Line of Sight or if they are within 12” and Line of Sight.

Special rules
-
This unit adds +1 to Reserve Checks made for this Unit while it is held in Reserve.
-
The unit may ignore the first point of Piercing from attacks by Ranged Weapons. Weapons with a Piercing of -4 or greater ignore the Xenoshield Special Rule.
-
This unit may target different units with each die from their weapons Rate of Attack in a Shoot Action rather than having to resolve them against a single target unit. The unit does not need to spend an Action Point to use the Revolver Fan quality.
-
Any model in this unit may replace their Proton Disruptor and/or their Hyperbolt Launcher for an Artron Lance or Nadeon Shredder for +5 Points per weapon or a Proton Disruptor or a Hyperbolt Launcher for free. If a model with the Watcher Weapon Array has two or more weapons of the same type, they are treated as a single weapon however you add +1 to the ROA for each duplicate weapon. Example: A Locus Beta with a pair of Proton Disruptors uses them with a single weapon profile with a ROA of 3 instead of the usual 2.
