A model may attack with two weapons that have the Pistol special rule.

During step 3 of any shooting attack, a player may choose to have a model under their control make attacks with two weapons rather than on if both weapons have the Pistol special rule.

With a Weapon that has the Breaching(X) special rule, there is a chance that a wound test may result in the wound ignoring armor saves.

When any wound test is made for an attack with the Breaching(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching(X) special rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that wound test, that wound becomes a Breaching Wound. 

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP characteristic of 2 regardless of the characteristics of the weapon used to make the attack.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast(X) special rule.  hits inflicted by weapons with the Blast(X) special rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflitc Hits on specific models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

With a Weapon that has the Breaching(X) special rule, there is a chance that a wound test may result in the wound ignoring armor saves.

When any wound test is made for an attack with the Breaching(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching(X) special rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that wound test, that wound becomes a Breaching Wound. 

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP characteristic of 2 regardless of the characteristics of the weapon used to make the attack.

Weapons with the Ordinance(X) special rule double the value of a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Ordinance(X) special rule, a modifier of x2 is applied to a characteristic if the model with the weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling player's previous movement phase ( if that characteristic is AP, then AP is instead changed to AP 2 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Ordinance(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the x2 modifier.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Stun(X) special rule, have a chance of inflicting the Stunned status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more hits on a target unit, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the Stunned status and if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this rule is applied as a negative modifier to the Cool Characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule, the modifiers do not stack.  Instead use only the greatest modifier.

Weapons with the Ordinance(X) special rule double the value of a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Ordinance(X) special rule, a modifier of x2 is applied to a characteristic if the model with the weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling player's previous movement phase ( if that characteristic is AP, then AP is instead changed to AP 2 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Ordinance(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the x2 modifier.

A Weapon with this Special Rule may be used to attack Target Units out of Line of Sight.

If a unit for which a shooting attack is made includes any models with one or more weapons with this Special Rule, then in Step 2 of the Shooting Attack process they may ignore the restriction on requiring Line of Sight to a Target unit.  If a Player uses this Special Rule to declare a Shooting Attack on a unit that the attacking unit cannot draw Line of Sight to, then in Step 3 of the Shooting Attack process that Player may only declare attacks with Weapons that have this Special Rule.

If a weapon with this special rule and the Blast(X) special rule is used to attack a unit without Line of Sight to that unit, then no Hit Test is made and an Indirect Scatter Roll must be made for the Blast Marker placed as part of the attack.  If such a weapon makes more than a single attack then a separate Indirect Scatter Roll is made for each attack.  When making an Indirect Scatter Roll for such an attack, the number of Dice rolled alongside the Scatter Dice is determined by the value of X for the Weapon with the Barrage(X) special rule, the value of these Dice is then totalled to find the distance the attack scatters.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful.

When any wound test is made for an attack with the Breaching(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching(X) special rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that wound test, that wound becomes a Breaching Wound. 

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP characteristic of 2 regardless of the characteristics of the weapon used to make the attack.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Pinning(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting the Pinned status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in that unit gain the Pinned Status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the cool characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead only use the greatest modifier.

A Weapon with this Special Rule may be used to attack Target Units out of Line of Sight.

If a unit for which a shooting attack is made includes any models with one or more weapons with this Special Rule, then in Step 2 of the Shooting Attack process they may ignore the restriction on requiring Line of Sight to a Target unit.  If a Player uses this Special Rule to declare a Shooting Attack on a unit that the attacking unit cannot draw Line of Sight to, then in Step 3 of the Shooting Attack process that Player may only declare attacks with Weapons that have this Special Rule.

If a weapon with this special rule and the Blast(X) special rule is used to attack a unit without Line of Sight to that unit, then no Hit Test is made and an Indirect Scatter Roll must be made for the Blast Marker placed as part of the attack.  If such a weapon makes more than a single attack then a separate Indirect Scatter Roll is made for each attack.  When making an Indirect Scatter Roll for such an attack, the number of Dice rolled alongside the Scatter Dice is determined by the value of X for the Weapon with the Barrage(X) special rule, the value of these Dice is then totalled to find the distance the attack scatters.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

With a Weapon that has the Breaching(X) special rule, there is a chance that a wound test may result in the wound ignoring armor saves.

When any wound test is made for an attack with the Breaching(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching(X) special rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that wound test, that wound becomes a Breaching Wound. 

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP characteristic of 2 regardless of the characteristics of the weapon used to make the attack.

Weapons with this special rule are better able to utilize it for intercepting new arrivals on the battlefield.

Each time a model makes a shooting attack as part of the Intercept Advanced Reaction, its controlling player can select a weapon with this special rule for that shooting attack, even if it is not a defensive weapon.

Attacks made with the Skyfire special rule ignore penalties when attacking flyers.

A hit test made for a weapon with the Skyfire special rule ignores any rule that would require attacks made targeting an enemy unit that contains any models with the flyer sub-type to be made as snap shots.  Instead such an attack makes a normal hit test using the ballistic skill of the attacking model.  This includes attacks made as part of any reaction.  A unit that includes models with any tactical status may not benefit from the effects of this special rule.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast(X) special rule.  hits inflicted by weapons with the Blast(X) special rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflitc Hits on specific models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

Weapons with the Ordinance(X) special rule double the value of a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Ordinance(X) special rule, a modifier of x2 is applied to a characteristic if the model with the weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling player's previous movement phase ( if that characteristic is AP, then AP is instead changed to AP 2 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Ordinance(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the x2 modifier.

A weapon with the Armourbane special rule counts Glancing Hits as Penetrating Hits. 

When making Armor Penetration Tests for an attack with this Special rule, a result that is equal to, or greater than, the target Armor Value inflicts a Penetrating Hit.  A weapon with this Special rule can never inflict a Glancing Hit, and any Rule that would force them to do so instead inflicts a Penetrating Hit.

Weapons with the Ordinance(X) special rule double the value of a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Ordinance(X) special rule, a modifier of x2 is applied to a characteristic if the model with the weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling player's previous movement phase ( if that characteristic is AP, then AP is instead changed to AP 2 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Ordinance(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the x2 modifier.

A weapon with the Armourbane special rule counts Glancing Hits as Penetrating Hits. 

When making Armor Penetration Tests for an attack with this Special rule, a result that is equal to, or greater than, the target Armor Value inflicts a Penetrating Hit.  A weapon with this Special rule can never inflict a Glancing Hit, and any Rule that would force them to do so instead inflicts a Penetrating Hit.

Weapons with this special rule may inflict hits on the models making shooting attacks with them.

When the controlling player declares that attacks will be made for a model using a weapon or profile that has the Overload(X) special rule, any hit tests made for those attacks that result in a number that is equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had, before any modifiers are applied to the roll, are Misfires.

For weapons that do not make Hit Tests, such as weapons with the Template special rule, instead roll a number of dice equal to the Firepower Characteristic of the weapon used to make the attack after the attack has been declared and the number of models hit is determined.  Each dice that results in a number equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had creates a Misfire.  This does not affect the number of hits on the target unit created by this attack.

For each Misfire, the unit for which the hit tests were made for suffer a Hit.  These hits must form a new fire group or strike group, referred to as the Misfire Group.

Once the current shooting attack and any reactions triggered by it have been fully resolved, the Misfire Group must be resolved.  A Misfire Group is resolved int he same way as any other fire group or strike group, using the profile of the weapon used for the fire group or strike group it was created from.  Wounds, Glancing Hits, or Penetrating Hits from this Misfire Group are allocated by the controlling player, and must be allocated to a model that made attacks as part of the fire group or strike group that generated the Misfire Group.  If a hit from a Misfire Group is generate by an attack made by a model with the vehicle type, then it is resolved against the lowest armor value from all of the model's facings.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

A model may attack with two weapons that have the Pistol special rule.

During step 3 of any shooting attack, a player may choose to have a model under their control make attacks with two weapons rather than on if both weapons have the Pistol special rule.

Attacks made with the Precision(X) special rule are allocated by the attacking player, not the defender.

When any hit test is made for an attack with the Precision(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Precision(X) special rule, then if a hit is inflicted by that roll, that hit becomes a Precision Hit.

These Precision Hits must form a separate fire group or strike group.  Wound tests are mad as normal for the Precision Hits and cause Precision Wounds.  In step 8 of the Shooting Attack process or Step 7 of the Initiative Step sequence, when selecting a target model for a fire group or strike group that is made up of Precision Wounds, the target model is not selected using the normal rules.  Instead the attacking player chooses which model in the target unit will be the target model, and may select any model that is part of that unit.

Note that models engaged in a challenge cannot use this special rule to allocate hits to any model other than the enemy model that is engaged in the same challenge and that any attacks which are made as Snap Shots, or for weapons or attacks that have either the Blast(X), Barrage(X), Template or Reaping Blow(X) special rules, may never trigger the Precision(X) special rule no matter what the result of the hit test is.

Weapons with this special rule gain one optional additional special rule when used to attack.

When a shooting attack is made that includes one or more weapons with this special rule, at the start of step 3 of the shooting attack procedure, the attacking player can select one of the following special rules for all weapons with this special rule to gain until the end of the shooting attack:

Weapons with the Heavy(X) special rule gain a +1 to a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Heavy(X) special rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a characteristic if the model with that weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling players previous movement phase.  If the characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one step ( see rules for modifying saves and AP on page 168 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

With a Weapon that has the Breaching(X) special rule, there is a chance that a wound test may result in the wound ignoring armor saves.

When any wound test is made for an attack with the Breaching(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching(X) special rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that wound test, that wound becomes a Breaching Wound. 

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP characteristic of 2 regardless of the characteristics of the weapon used to make the attack.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Pinning(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting the Pinned status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in that unit gain the Pinned Status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the cool characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead only use the greatest modifier.

Attacks made with the Precision(X) special rule are allocated by the attacking player, not the defender.

When any hit test is made for an attack with the Precision(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Precision(X) special rule, then if a hit is inflicted by that roll, that hit becomes a Precision Hit.

These Precision Hits must form a separate fire group or strike group.  Wound tests are mad as normal for the Precision Hits and cause Precision Wounds.  In step 8 of the Shooting Attack process or Step 7 of the Initiative Step sequence, when selecting a target model for a fire group or strike group that is made up of Precision Wounds, the target model is not selected using the normal rules.  Instead the attacking player chooses which model in the target unit will be the target model, and may select any model that is part of that unit.

Note that models engaged in a challenge cannot use this special rule to allocate hits to any model other than the enemy model that is engaged in the same challenge and that any attacks which are made as Snap Shots, or for weapons or attacks that have either the Blast(X), Barrage(X), Template or Reaping Blow(X) special rules, may never trigger the Precision(X) special rule no matter what the result of the hit test is.

Weapons with the Heavy(X) special rule gain a +1 to a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Heavy(X) special rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a characteristic if the model with that weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling players previous movement phase.  If the characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one step ( see rules for modifying saves and AP on page 168 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

Weapons with the Heavy(X) special rule gain a +1 to a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Heavy(X) special rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a characteristic if the model with that weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling players previous movement phase.  If the characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one step ( see rules for modifying saves and AP on page 168 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Suppressive(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting the Suppressed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more hits on a target unit, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed all models in the unit gain the Suppressed status, and if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this rule is applied as a negative modifier to the Cool Characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use only the greatest modifier.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Suppressive(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting the Suppressed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more hits on a target unit, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed all models in the unit gain the Suppressed status, and if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this rule is applied as a negative modifier to the Cool Characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use only the greatest modifier.

A weapon with this special rule can fire multiple profiles simultaneously.

Each time a model makes a shooting attack with a weapon profile with this special rule, the controlling player can select another profile from the same weapon with this special rule and make attacks with it as part of the same shooting attack.  Note that if that profile also has the Limited(X) special rule, this does not allow it to be selected to make attacks more than the number of times equal to the value of X on that special rule.

Weapons and attacks with the Template special rule use the Flame Template to determine how many models they hit.

When making attacks for a weapon or other effect that has the Template special rule, or otherwise uses a Template, not hit tests are made for the attack.  Instead when directed to make hit tests for such an attack, a single template is placed to determine how many hits are generated.  A template must be placed so that its narrow end is touching the base of the model, the edge of the model's hull ( if it has the vehicle type ) or other point being used to make the attack, and so that no part of the template covers or touches a friendly model's base, hull, or otherwise would inflict hits on a friendly model.  Within these restrictions, the player making the attack may place the template in an orientation of their choosing as long as tat least one model from the original target unit remains under the template.  If the template cannot be placed under these restrictions, such as if it cannot be placed without covering or touching friendly models, then no attack may be made.

Once the template has been placed a number of hits using the profile of the weapon or effect are inflicted on the target unit equal to the number of models touched or covered by the template.  If the weapon or attack has a firepower characteristic greater than 1 then only a single template template is placed, but the number of hits inflicted per model touched or covered by the template is equal to the firepower characteristic of the attack or weapon.  If more than one enemy unit has models that are touched or covered by the template in its final position, then hits are inflicted on all such units as noted above.  Hits on units other than the original target form a new fire group that must be placed to one side and used to resolve a separate shooting attack on the additional target unit once all attacks and fire groups from the original shooting attack have been fully resolved.  When resolving armor penetration tests for hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule, the position of the model that was used to make the attack is used to determine which armor facing is used ( see page 220 ).

Note that rules require a Template to be placed in base contact with the model being used to make the attack, but this model is not counted as having been hit by the attack and does not stop the attack from being made.  However, this only applies to the individual model being used to make the attack, not to other models in the same unit.

Weapons with this special rule will have their range characteristic as Template.  This does not count as a value of 0 or -.  If a rule requires a number for the range characteristic ( other than for making attacks which must be conduced using the rules noted above) then all weapons and attacks with this special rule are considered to have a range characteristic of 8.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Panic(X) special Rule have a chance of inflicting the routed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Leadership Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the routed status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the leadership characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use on the greatest modifier.

A weapon with the Limited(X) special rule can only be used to attack a limited number of times per battle.

A weapon with the Limited(X) special rule may only be used to make attacks as part of a shooting attack or combat a number of times equal to the value of X attached to the specific variant of the special rule.  Each time it is used to make attacks, the firepower characteristic or attacks modifier characteristic of the weapon is not modified by this special rule, only the number of times it may be selected in a given battle.

A weapon with this special rule can fire multiple profiles simultaneously.

Each time a model makes a shooting attack with a weapon profile with this special rule, the controlling player can select another profile from the same weapon with this special rule and make attacks with it as part of the same shooting attack.  Note that if that profile also has the Limited(X) special rule, this does not allow it to be selected to make attacks more than the number of times equal to the value of X on that special rule.

A weapon with this special rule can fire multiple profiles simultaneously.

Each time a model makes a shooting attack with a weapon profile with this special rule, the controlling player can select another profile from the same weapon with this special rule and make attacks with it as part of the same shooting attack.  Note that if that profile also has the Limited(X) special rule, this does not allow it to be selected to make attacks more than the number of times equal to the value of X on that special rule.

This special rule increases the amount of damage against vehicles when shooting attacks are made within a specific range.

If at least one model in a unit with the vehicle type that is targeted by a shooting attack made by a model using a weapon with this special rule is within a range equal to or less than the value specified by X, that attack has the Armourbane special rule and the damage of  Penetrating Hits caused by that attack is doubled.

A weapon with the Limited(X) special rule can only be used to attack a limited number of times per battle.

With a Weapon that has the Breaching(X) special rule, there is a chance that a wound test may result in the wound ignoring armor saves.

When any wound test is made for an attack with the Breaching(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching(X) special rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that wound test, that wound becomes a Breaching Wound. 

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP characteristic of 2 regardless of the characteristics of the weapon used to make the attack.

Unsaved wounds inflicted by attacks with the Deflagrate(X) special rule can cause additional hits.

At the end of step 9 of the shooting attack process for any fire group or strike group that includes weapons with the Deflagrate(X) special rule, create a new fire group or strike group that must then be selected in stet 10 and resolved.  This new fire group or strike group includes a number of hits equal to the number of unsaved wounds caused by the fire group or strike group that triggered its creation.  These hits all have a strength equal to the value of X attached to the variant of the Deflagrate(X) special rule possessed by weapons in the preceding fire group or strike group, an AP of '-', a damage of 1, and no special rules.

A weapon with the Limited(X) special rule can only be used to attack a limited number of times per battle.

A weapon with the Limited(X) special rule may only be used to make attacks as part of a shooting attack or combat a number of times equal to the value of X attached to the specific variant of the special rule.  Each time it is used to make attacks, the firepower characteristic or attacks modifier characteristic of the weapon is not modified by this special rule, only the number of times it may be selected in a given battle.

Weapons with this special rule may inflict hits on the models making shooting attacks with them.

When the controlling player declares that attacks will be made for a model using a weapon or profile that has the Overload(X) special rule, any hit tests made for those attacks that result in a number that is equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had, before any modifiers are applied to the roll, are Misfires.

For weapons that do not make Hit Tests, such as weapons with the Template special rule, instead roll a number of dice equal to the Firepower Characteristic of the weapon used to make the attack after the attack has been declared and the number of models hit is determined.  Each dice that results in a number equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had creates a Misfire.  This does not affect the number of hits on the target unit created by this attack.

For each Misfire, the unit for which the hit tests were made for suffer a Hit.  These hits must form a new fire group or strike group, referred to as the Misfire Group.

Once the current shooting attack and any reactions triggered by it have been fully resolved, the Misfire Group must be resolved.  A Misfire Group is resolved int he same way as any other fire group or strike group, using the profile of the weapon used for the fire group or strike group it was created from.  Wounds, Glancing Hits, or Penetrating Hits from this Misfire Group are allocated by the controlling player, and must be allocated to a model that made attacks as part of the fire group or strike group that generated the Misfire Group.  If a hit from a Misfire Group is generate by an attack made by a model with the vehicle type, then it is resolved against the lowest armor value from all of the model's facings.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

A weapon with this special rule can fire multiple profiles simultaneously.

Each time a model makes a shooting attack with a weapon profile with this special rule, the controlling player can select another profile from the same weapon with this special rule and make attacks with it as part of the same shooting attack.  Note that if that profile also has the Limited(X) special rule, this does not allow it to be selected to make attacks more than the number of times equal to the value of X on that special rule.

Weapons with the Heavy(X) special rule gain a +1 to a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Heavy(X) special rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a characteristic if the model with that weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling players previous movement phase.  If the characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one step ( see rules for modifying saves and AP on page 168 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast(X) special rule.  hits inflicted by weapons with the Blast(X) special rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflitc Hits on specific models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

For weapons that do not make Hit Tests, such as weapons with the Template special rule, instead roll a number of dice equal to the Firepower Characteristic of the weapon used to make the attack after the attack has been declared and the number of models hit is determined.  Each dice that results in a number equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had creates a Misfire.  This does not affect the number of hits on the target unit created by this attack.

For each Misfire, the unit for which the hit tests were made for suffer a Hit.  These hits must form a new fire group or strike group, referred to as the Misfire Group.

Once the current shooting attack and any reactions triggered by it have been fully resolved, the Misfire Group must be resolved.  A Misfire Group is resolved int he same way as any other fire group or strike group, using the profile of the weapon used for the fire group or strike group it was created from.  Wounds, Glancing Hits, or Penetrating Hits from this Misfire Group are allocated by the controlling player, and must be allocated to a model that made attacks as part of the fire group or strike group that generated the Misfire Group.  If a hit from a Misfire Group is generate by an attack made by a model with the vehicle type, then it is resolved against the lowest armor value from all of the model's facings.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

A model may attack with two weapons that have the Pistol special rule.

During step 3 of any shooting attack, a player may choose to have a model under their control make attacks with two weapons rather than on if both weapons have the Pistol special rule.

Weapons with this special rule may inflict hits on the models making shooting attacks with them.

When the controlling player declares that attacks will be made for a model using a weapon or profile that has the Overload(X) special rule, any hit tests made for those attacks that result in a number that is equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had, before any modifiers are applied to the roll, are Misfires.

For weapons that do not make Hit Tests, such as weapons with the Template special rule, instead roll a number of dice equal to the Firepower Characteristic of the weapon used to make the attack after the attack has been declared and the number of models hit is determined.  Each dice that results in a number equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had creates a Misfire.  This does not affect the number of hits on the target unit created by this attack.

For each Misfire, the unit for which the hit tests were made for suffer a Hit.  These hits must form a new fire group or strike group, referred to as the Misfire Group.

Once the current shooting attack and any reactions triggered by it have been fully resolved, the Misfire Group must be resolved.  A Misfire Group is resolved int he same way as any other fire group or strike group, using the profile of the weapon used for the fire group or strike group it was created from.  Wounds, Glancing Hits, or Penetrating Hits from this Misfire Group are allocated by the controlling player, and must be allocated to a model that made attacks as part of the fire group or strike group that generated the Misfire Group.  If a hit from a Misfire Group is generate by an attack made by a model with the vehicle type, then it is resolved against the lowest armor value from all of the model's facings.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

Weapons with this special rule may inflict hits on the models making shooting attacks with them.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

Weapons with the Heavy(X) special rule gain a +1 to a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Heavy(X) special rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a characteristic if the model with that weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling players previous movement phase.  If the characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one step ( see rules for modifying saves and AP on page 168 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

Weapons with this special rule may inflict hits on the models making shooting attacks with them.

When the controlling player declares that attacks will be made for a model using a weapon or profile that has the Overload(X) special rule, any hit tests made for those attacks that result in a number that is equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had, before any modifiers are applied to the roll, are Misfires.

For weapons that do not make Hit Tests, such as weapons with the Template special rule, instead roll a number of dice equal to the Firepower Characteristic of the weapon used to make the attack after the attack has been declared and the number of models hit is determined.  Each dice that results in a number equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had creates a Misfire.  This does not affect the number of hits on the target unit created by this attack.

For each Misfire, the unit for which the hit tests were made for suffer a Hit.  These hits must form a new fire group or strike group, referred to as the Misfire Group.

Once the current shooting attack and any reactions triggered by it have been fully resolved, the Misfire Group must be resolved.  A Misfire Group is resolved int he same way as any other fire group or strike group, using the profile of the weapon used for the fire group or strike group it was created from.  Wounds, Glancing Hits, or Penetrating Hits from this Misfire Group are allocated by the controlling player, and must be allocated to a model that made attacks as part of the fire group or strike group that generated the Misfire Group.  If a hit from a Misfire Group is generate by an attack made by a model with the vehicle type, then it is resolved against the lowest armor value from all of the model's facings.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

Weapons with this special rule may inflict hits on the models making shooting attacks with them.

When the controlling player declares that attacks will be made for a model using a weapon or profile that has the Overload(X) special rule, any hit tests made for those attacks that result in a number that is equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had, before any modifiers are applied to the roll, are Misfires.

Once the current shooting attack and any reactions triggered by it have been fully resolved, the Misfire Group must be resolved.  A Misfire Group is resolved int he same way as any other fire group or strike group, using the profile of the weapon used for the fire group or strike group it was created from.  Wounds, Glancing Hits, or Penetrating Hits from this Misfire Group are allocated by the controlling player, and must be allocated to a model that made attacks as part of the fire group or strike group that generated the Misfire Group.  If a hit from a Misfire Group is generate by an attack made by a model with the vehicle type, then it is resolved against the lowest armor value from all of the model's facings.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast(X) special rule.  hits inflicted by weapons with the Blast(X) special rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflitc Hits on specific models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

A weapon with the Limited(X) special rule can only be used to attack a limited number of times per battle.

A weapon with the Limited(X) special rule may only be used to make attacks as part of a shooting attack or combat a number of times equal to the value of X attached to the specific variant of the special rule.  Each time it is used to make attacks, the firepower characteristic or attacks modifier characteristic of the weapon is not modified by this special rule, only the number of times it may be selected in a given battle.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast(X) special rule.  hits inflicted by weapons with the Blast(X) special rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflitc Hits on specific models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

Weapons with the Ordinance(X) special rule double the value of a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Ordinance(X) special rule, a modifier of x2 is applied to a characteristic if the model with the weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling player's previous movement phase ( if that characteristic is AP, then AP is instead changed to AP 2 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Ordinance(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the x2 modifier.

A weapon with the Armourbane special rule counts Glancing Hits as Penetrating Hits. 

When making Armor Penetration Tests for an attack with this Special rule, a result that is equal to, or greater than, the target Armor Value inflicts a Penetrating Hit.  A weapon with this Special rule can never inflict a Glancing Hit, and any Rule that would force them to do so instead inflicts a Penetrating Hit.

Weapons and attacks with the Template special rule use the Flame Template to determine how many models they hit.

When making attacks for a weapon or other effect that has the Template special rule, or otherwise uses a Template, not hit tests are made for the attack.  Instead when directed to make hit tests for such an attack, a single template is placed to determine how many hits are generated.  A template must be placed so that its narrow end is touching the base of the model, the edge of the model's hull ( if it has the vehicle type ) or other point being used to make the attack, and so that no part of the template covers or touches a friendly model's base, hull, or otherwise would inflict hits on a friendly model.  Within these restrictions, the player making the attack may place the template in an orientation of their choosing as long as tat least one model from the original target unit remains under the template.  If the template cannot be placed under these restrictions, such as if it cannot be placed without covering or touching friendly models, then no attack may be made.

Once the template has been placed a number of hits using the profile of the weapon or effect are inflicted on the target unit equal to the number of models touched or covered by the template.  If the weapon or attack has a firepower characteristic greater than 1 then only a single template template is placed, but the number of hits inflicted per model touched or covered by the template is equal to the firepower characteristic of the attack or weapon.  If more than one enemy unit has models that are touched or covered by the template in its final position, then hits are inflicted on all such units as noted above.  Hits on units other than the original target form a new fire group that must be placed to one side and used to resolve a separate shooting attack on the additional target unit once all attacks and fire groups from the original shooting attack have been fully resolved.  When resolving armor penetration tests for hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule, the position of the model that was used to make the attack is used to determine which armor facing is used ( see page 220 ).

Note that rules require a Template to be placed in base contact with the model being used to make the attack, but this model is not counted as having been hit by the attack and does not stop the attack from being made.  However, this only applies to the individual model being used to make the attack, not to other models in the same unit.

Weapons with this special rule will have their range characteristic as Template.  This does not count as a value of 0 or -.  If a rule requires a number for the range characteristic ( other than for making attacks which must be conduced using the rules noted above) then all weapons and attacks with this special rule are considered to have a range characteristic of 8.

A model may attack with two weapons that have the Pistol special rule.

During step 3 of any shooting attack, a player may choose to have a model under their control make attacks with two weapons rather than on if both weapons have the Pistol special rule.

Weapons and attacks with the Template special rule use the Flame Template to determine how many models they hit.

When making attacks for a weapon or other effect that has the Template special rule, or otherwise uses a Template, not hit tests are made for the attack.  Instead when directed to make hit tests for such an attack, a single template is placed to determine how many hits are generated.  A template must be placed so that its narrow end is touching the base of the model, the edge of the model's hull ( if it has the vehicle type ) or other point being used to make the attack, and so that no part of the template covers or touches a friendly model's base, hull, or otherwise would inflict hits on a friendly model.  Within these restrictions, the player making the attack may place the template in an orientation of their choosing as long as tat least one model from the original target unit remains under the template.  If the template cannot be placed under these restrictions, such as if it cannot be placed without covering or touching friendly models, then no attack may be made.

Once the template has been placed a number of hits using the profile of the weapon or effect are inflicted on the target unit equal to the number of models touched or covered by the template.  If the weapon or attack has a firepower characteristic greater than 1 then only a single template template is placed, but the number of hits inflicted per model touched or covered by the template is equal to the firepower characteristic of the attack or weapon.  If more than one enemy unit has models that are touched or covered by the template in its final position, then hits are inflicted on all such units as noted above.  Hits on units other than the original target form a new fire group that must be placed to one side and used to resolve a separate shooting attack on the additional target unit once all attacks and fire groups from the original shooting attack have been fully resolved.  When resolving armor penetration tests for hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule, the position of the model that was used to make the attack is used to determine which armor facing is used ( see page 220 ).

Weapons and other attacks that have the Panic(X) special Rule have a chance of inflicting the routed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Leadership Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the routed status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the leadership characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use on the greatest modifier.

Weapons and attacks with the Template special rule use the Flame Template to determine how many models they hit.

When making attacks for a weapon or other effect that has the Template special rule, or otherwise uses a Template, not hit tests are made for the attack.  Instead when directed to make hit tests for such an attack, a single template is placed to determine how many hits are generated.  A template must be placed so that its narrow end is touching the base of the model, the edge of the model's hull ( if it has the vehicle type ) or other point being used to make the attack, and so that no part of the template covers or touches a friendly model's base, hull, or otherwise would inflict hits on a friendly model.  Within these restrictions, the player making the attack may place the template in an orientation of their choosing as long as tat least one model from the original target unit remains under the template.  If the template cannot be placed under these restrictions, such as if it cannot be placed without covering or touching friendly models, then no attack may be made.

Once the template has been placed a number of hits using the profile of the weapon or effect are inflicted on the target unit equal to the number of models touched or covered by the template.  If the weapon or attack has a firepower characteristic greater than 1 then only a single template template is placed, but the number of hits inflicted per model touched or covered by the template is equal to the firepower characteristic of the attack or weapon.  If more than one enemy unit has models that are touched or covered by the template in its final position, then hits are inflicted on all such units as noted above.  Hits on units other than the original target form a new fire group that must be placed to one side and used to resolve a separate shooting attack on the additional target unit once all attacks and fire groups from the original shooting attack have been fully resolved.  When resolving armor penetration tests for hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule, the position of the model that was used to make the attack is used to determine which armor facing is used ( see page 220 ).

Weapons and other attacks that have the Panic(X) special Rule have a chance of inflicting the routed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Leadership Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the routed status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the leadership characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use on the greatest modifier.

Weapons and attacks with the Template special rule use the Flame Template to determine how many models they hit.

When making attacks for a weapon or other effect that has the Template special rule, or otherwise uses a Template, not hit tests are made for the attack.  Instead when directed to make hit tests for such an attack, a single template is placed to determine how many hits are generated.  A template must be placed so that its narrow end is touching the base of the model, the edge of the model's hull ( if it has the vehicle type ) or other point being used to make the attack, and so that no part of the template covers or touches a friendly model's base, hull, or otherwise would inflict hits on a friendly model.  Within these restrictions, the player making the attack may place the template in an orientation of their choosing as long as tat least one model from the original target unit remains under the template.  If the template cannot be placed under these restrictions, such as if it cannot be placed without covering or touching friendly models, then no attack may be made.

Once the template has been placed a number of hits using the profile of the weapon or effect are inflicted on the target unit equal to the number of models touched or covered by the template.  If the weapon or attack has a firepower characteristic greater than 1 then only a single template template is placed, but the number of hits inflicted per model touched or covered by the template is equal to the firepower characteristic of the attack or weapon.  If more than one enemy unit has models that are touched or covered by the template in its final position, then hits are inflicted on all such units as noted above.  Hits on units other than the original target form a new fire group that must be placed to one side and used to resolve a separate shooting attack on the additional target unit once all attacks and fire groups from the original shooting attack have been fully resolved.  When resolving armor penetration tests for hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule, the position of the model that was used to make the attack is used to determine which armor facing is used ( see page 220 ).

Weapons and other attacks that have the Panic(X) special Rule have a chance of inflicting the routed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Leadership Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the routed status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the leadership characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use on the greatest modifier.

Weapons and attacks with the Template special rule use the Flame Template to determine how many models they hit.

When making attacks for a weapon or other effect that has the Template special rule, or otherwise uses a Template, not hit tests are made for the attack.  Instead when directed to make hit tests for such an attack, a single template is placed to determine how many hits are generated.  A template must be placed so that its narrow end is touching the base of the model, the edge of the model's hull ( if it has the vehicle type ) or other point being used to make the attack, and so that no part of the template covers or touches a friendly model's base, hull, or otherwise would inflict hits on a friendly model.  Within these restrictions, the player making the attack may place the template in an orientation of their choosing as long as tat least one model from the original target unit remains under the template.  If the template cannot be placed under these restrictions, such as if it cannot be placed without covering or touching friendly models, then no attack may be made.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Leadership Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the routed status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the leadership characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use on the greatest modifier.

Weapons and attacks with the Template special rule use the Flame Template to determine how many models they hit.

When making attacks for a weapon or other effect that has the Template special rule, or otherwise uses a Template, not hit tests are made for the attack.  Instead when directed to make hit tests for such an attack, a single template is placed to determine how many hits are generated.  A template must be placed so that its narrow end is touching the base of the model, the edge of the model's hull ( if it has the vehicle type ) or other point being used to make the attack, and so that no part of the template covers or touches a friendly model's base, hull, or otherwise would inflict hits on a friendly model.  Within these restrictions, the player making the attack may place the template in an orientation of their choosing as long as tat least one model from the original target unit remains under the template.  If the template cannot be placed under these restrictions, such as if it cannot be placed without covering or touching friendly models, then no attack may be made.

Once the template has been placed a number of hits using the profile of the weapon or effect are inflicted on the target unit equal to the number of models touched or covered by the template.  If the weapon or attack has a firepower characteristic greater than 1 then only a single template template is placed, but the number of hits inflicted per model touched or covered by the template is equal to the firepower characteristic of the attack or weapon.  If more than one enemy unit has models that are touched or covered by the template in its final position, then hits are inflicted on all such units as noted above.  Hits on units other than the original target form a new fire group that must be placed to one side and used to resolve a separate shooting attack on the additional target unit once all attacks and fire groups from the original shooting attack have been fully resolved.  When resolving armor penetration tests for hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule, the position of the model that was used to make the attack is used to determine which armor facing is used ( see page 220 ).

Note that rules require a Template to be placed in base contact with the model being used to make the attack, but this model is not counted as having been hit by the attack and does not stop the attack from being made.  However, this only applies to the individual model being used to make the attack, not to other models in the same unit.

Weapons with this special rule will have their range characteristic as Template.  This does not count as a value of 0 or -.  If a rule requires a number for the range characteristic ( other than for making attacks which must be conduced using the rules noted above) then all weapons and attacks with this special rule are considered to have a range characteristic of 8.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Panic(X) special Rule have a chance of inflicting the routed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Leadership Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the routed status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the leadership characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use on the greatest modifier.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast(X) special rule.  hits inflicted by weapons with the Blast(X) special rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflitc Hits on specific models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

With a Weapon that has the Breaching(X) special rule, there is a chance that a wound test may result in the wound ignoring armor saves.

When any wound test is made for an attack with the Breaching(X) special rule, if the result of the dice roll, before any modifiers are applied, is equal to or greater than the value of X attached to this variant of the Breaching(X) special rule, then if a wound is inflicted by that wound test, that wound becomes a Breaching Wound. 

A Breaching Wound is always treated as having an AP characteristic of 2 regardless of the characteristics of the weapon used to make the attack.

Weapons with the Shock(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting statuses on vehicles even if it does not penetrate their armor.

When making a hit test for a weapon with this special rule against a target unit that includes any models with the vehicle type or walker type, the result of the hit test before any modifiers are applied must be checked.  If any hit test for a weapon with the Shock(X) special rule results in a 5 or 6 before any modifiers are applied, then all models with the vehicle type or walker type in the target unit gain a status at the end of step 11 of the shooting attack process or step 10 of the initiative step process.  The status gained is indicated by the value of X attached to that variant of the Shock(X) special rule.  If the model already has the the stated status or that attack would apply the status multiple times there is no additional effect and this special rule never causes a model to lose wounds or hull points.  Hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule must still have wound tests or armor penetration tests made for them, and are not discarded if they trigger this special rule.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Pinning(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting the Pinned status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more wounds on a target unit, regardless of whether any damage is inflicted, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in that unit gain the Pinned Status, if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this special rule is applied as a negative modifier to the cool characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead only use the greatest modifier.

Weapons with the Heavy(X) special rule gain a +1 to a characteristic when stationary.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Heavy(X) special rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a characteristic if the model with that weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling players previous movement phase.  If the characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one step ( see rules for modifying saves and AP on page 168 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

A Weapon with this Special Rule may be used to attack Target Units out of Line of Sight.

If a unit for which a shooting attack is made includes any models with one or more weapons with this Special Rule, then in Step 2 of the Shooting Attack process they may ignore the restriction on requiring Line of Sight to a Target unit.  If a Player uses this Special Rule to declare a Shooting Attack on a unit that the attacking unit cannot draw Line of Sight to, then in Step 3 of the Shooting Attack process that Player may only declare attacks with Weapons that have this Special Rule.

If a weapon with this special rule and the Blast(X) special rule is used to attack a unit without Line of Sight to that unit, then no Hit Test is made and an Indirect Scatter Roll must be made for the Blast Marker placed as part of the attack.  If such a weapon makes more than a single attack then a separate Indirect Scatter Roll is made for each attack.  When making an Indirect Scatter Roll for such an attack, the number of Dice rolled alongside the Scatter Dice is determined by the value of X for the Weapon with the Barrage(X) special rule, the value of these Dice is then totalled to find the distance the attack scatters.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Suppressive(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting the Suppressed status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more hits on a target unit, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed all models in the unit gain the Suppressed status, and if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this rule is applied as a negative modifier to the Cool Characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule the modifiers do not stack.  Instead, use only the greatest modifier.

Weapons with the Shock(X) special rule have a chance of inflicting statuses on vehicles even if it does not penetrate their armor.

When making a hit test for a weapon with this special rule against a target unit that includes any models with the vehicle type or walker type, the result of the hit test before any modifiers are applied must be checked.  If any hit test for a weapon with the Shock(X) special rule results in a 5 or 6 before any modifiers are applied, then all models with the vehicle type or walker type in the target unit gain a status at the end of step 11 of the shooting attack process or step 10 of the initiative step process.  The status gained is indicated by the value of X attached to that variant of the Shock(X) special rule.  If the model already has the the stated status or that attack would apply the status multiple times there is no additional effect and this special rule never causes a model to lose wounds or hull points.  Hits inflicted by a weapon with this special rule must still have wound tests or armor penetration tests made for them, and are not discarded if they trigger this special rule.

Weapons with this special rule may inflict hits on the models making shooting attacks with them.

When the controlling player declares that attacks will be made for a model using a weapon or profile that has the Overload(X) special rule, any hit tests made for those attacks that result in a number that is equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had, before any modifiers are applied to the roll, are Misfires.

For weapons that do not make Hit Tests, such as weapons with the Template special rule, instead roll a number of dice equal to the Firepower Characteristic of the weapon used to make the attack after the attack has been declared and the number of models hit is determined.  Each dice that results in a number equal to or less than the value of X attached to the variant of the Overload(X) special rule that the weapon had creates a Misfire.  This does not affect the number of hits on the target unit created by this attack.

For each Misfire, the unit for which the hit tests were made for suffer a Hit.  These hits must form a new fire group or strike group, referred to as the Misfire Group.

Once the current shooting attack and any reactions triggered by it have been fully resolved, the Misfire Group must be resolved.  A Misfire Group is resolved int he same way as any other fire group or strike group, using the profile of the weapon used for the fire group or strike group it was created from.  Wounds, Glancing Hits, or Penetrating Hits from this Misfire Group are allocated by the controlling player, and must be allocated to a model that made attacks as part of the fire group or strike group that generated the Misfire Group.  If a hit from a Misfire Group is generate by an attack made by a model with the vehicle type, then it is resolved against the lowest armor value from all of the model's facings.

Hits, Wounds or Casualties inflicted upon a unit as a result of this special rule do not cause Leadership or Cool Checks, and hits inflicted as part of a Misfire Group do not trigger any special rules that take effect as a result of a certain value on a hit test.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

Hits can be scored on both friendly and enemy Units by attacks using the Blast(X) special rule.  hits inflicted by weapons with the Blast(X) special rule are allocated in the same manner as other Hits, regardless of which actual models were under the Blast Marker and the Blast Marker may not be used to inflitc Hits on specific models.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

If a Fire Group includes multiple attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule, do not place multiple Blast markers.  A single Blast Marker is placed using the rules detailed above, and a Hit Test is made for each attack in that Fire Group.  For each successful Hit Test, one Hit is inflicted for each model from the target unit that is fully or partially under the Blast Marker.  If any Hit Tests are unsuccessful then, after any Hits made by successful Hit Tests are counted, a single Scatter Roll is made for the Blast Marker, regardless of the total number of unsuccessful Hit Tests.  For each Hit Test that was unsuccessful, one Hit is inflicted ona. unit for each Model from that Unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker after the Scatter Roll has been resolved.

Weapons and other attacks that have the Stun(X) special rule, have a chance of inflicting the Stunned status on the target unit.

If a shooting attack made for a weapon or model with this special rule inflicts one or more hits on a target unit, that target unit must make a Cool Check in the morale sub-phase of the same player turn.  If this check is failed then all models in the unit gain the Stunned status and if the check is passed then there is no further effect.  The value of X attached to this rule is applied as a negative modifier to the Cool Characteristic of models in the target unit when making checks caused by an attack with this special rule.  If the attack includes multiple weapons with different versions of this special rule, the modifiers do not stack.  Instead use only the greatest modifier.

A weapon with the Armourbane special rule counts Glancing Hits as Penetrating Hits. 

When making Armor Penetration Tests for an attack with this Special rule, a result that is equal to, or greater than, the target Armor Value inflicts a Penetrating Hit.  A weapon with this Special rule can never inflict a Glancing Hit, and any Rule that would force them to do so instead inflicts a Penetrating Hit.

When making a shooting attack with a weapon that has the Heavy(X) special rule, a modifier of +1 is added to a characteristic if the model with that weapon is part of a unit that remained stationary in the controlling players previous movement phase.  If the characteristic listed is AP, then instead it improves the AP by one step ( see rules for modifying saves and AP on page 168 ).  The value of X in the specific variant of the Heavy(X) special rule determines which characteristic gains the +1 modifier.

Attacks made with the Blast(X) special rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.

When making attacks with a weapon that has the Blast(X) special rule, before any Hit Tests are made, a Blast Marker must first be placed to determine how many Hits may be inflicted by the attack.  The player making the attack must place the Blast Marker indicated in brackets as part of the Special Rule so that the hole in the middle is entirely over the base of any one Model in the Target Unit.  Once the Blast Marker has been placed, the Player making the attack must make a Hit Test for the attack, and each model from the target unit that is fully fully or partially under the Blast Marker will suffer 1 Hit if the Hit Test is successful. 

If the Hit Test is unsuccessful then o Hits are inflicted and the player making the attack must make a Scatter Roll for the Blast Marker ( see the Rules for Scatter on page 187 ).  Once a Scatter Roll has been made for the Blast Marker and it has been moved, on Hit is inflicted on a unit for each model from that unit that is wholly or partially covered by the Blast Marker.

A Weapon with this Special Rule may be used to attack Target Units out of Line of Sight.

If a unit for which a shooting attack is made includes any models with one or more weapons with this Special Rule, then in Step 2 of the Shooting Attack process they may ignore the restriction on requiring Line of Sight to a Target unit.  If a Player uses this Special Rule to declare a Shooting Attack on a unit that the attacking unit cannot draw Line of Sight to, then in Step 3 of the Shooting Attack process that Player may only declare attacks with Weapons that have this Special Rule.

If a weapon with this special rule and the Blast(X) special rule is used to attack a unit without Line of Sight to that unit, then no Hit Test is made and an Indirect Scatter Roll must be made for the Blast Marker placed as part of the attack.  If such a weapon makes more than a single attack then a separate Indirect Scatter Roll is made for each attack.  When making an Indirect Scatter Roll for such an attack, the number of Dice rolled alongside the Scatter Dice is determined by the value of X for the Weapon with the Barrage(X) special rule, the value of these Dice is then totalled to find the distance the attack scatters.
