House rules

Added content that was missing from core rules, strongly inspired by Advanced rules.

Line of sight

• Friendly units do not block sight or movement.
• If more than half of the models in a unit are within range, then the entire unit may attack it.
• When taking more wounds than models in range, overflow is still passed to remaining models in that unit.
• If at least 25% of the unit's models are obscured, the unit gains +1 cover.
• If more than 50% of the unit's models are obscured, the unit gains +2 cover.
• Models within 2" of a window see trough it and receive +2 cover from enemies shooting through the window over 2" away.

Modifiers and Conditions

• Buffs and debuffs remain on a unit until the condition is met or the unit is shaken.
• If a units has both a -1 and +1 modifier, the modifiers cancel each other out and both are removed instantly.
• A shaken unit can't receive buffs and debuffs also triggers a Panic roll on that unit.
• +1/-1 Modifiers gives a +1/-1 modifier to shoot, +1/-1 modifier to hit, +1/-1 to morale tests, and +1/-1 modifier to defense. They are removed at the end of the round.

Casters

• Casters can cast any number of spells, not already cast, at any point during activation before melee.
• Each individual caster gains individual Mana (Spell Tokens).
• Rolling a 7 or more when casting a spell regains one mana spend and rolling a 1 or less causes Panic, after modifiers are applied.
• Each individual caster can also use their Mana to modify Casters within 24" success chance before casting spells.
  Each mana spend increases or decreases roll.

Balance adjustments

• Strider: When no difficult terrain is present, all models with Strider gain +1 to movement when moving.
• Multiple Melee: Similar to shooting each weapon may only target a single unit, but each unit may strike back with everything.

Game modes

Cumulative Objectives

• Each non shaken model may claim an objective within 3" if uncontested at the end of their activation.
• Uncontested claimed objectives generate 1 point at the end of round 1-3 and 2 points at the end of round 4.

---

Relic Hunt

• Each objective marker claimed uncontested is picked up by that unit at the end of their activation.
• A unit can only hold one objective and that objective is dropped when unit is shaken or routed.
• After 4 rounds have been played the game ends, and the player that controls most Objectives wins.

Command points (optional)

At the start of each turn, gain 1 Command point.
