Special Rules

Follow normal rules as other gangs with the following exceptions:

• Articles of Faith
• Devout Masses,
• Redemptionist Juve (Zealot):
  • Counts as a Juve (Specialist) for the purpose of not triggering Nerve tests to other friendly fighters when Seriously Injured or taken Out of Action. Other Juve (Specialists) must still take Nerve tests as normal.
• Juve (Promotion):
  • Any Juve can be promoted to Redemptionist Ganger (Specialist).
  • Only Cawdor Juves can be promoted to Cawdor Ganger (Specialist).
• Death of a Leader: If a fighter is promoted to new Leader's type will depend on the successor's type:
  • Cawdor: Cawdor or Redemptionist.
  • Redemptionist: Redemptionist.
• Pious (Cawdor): Can re-roll Rally tests if the result is 2 (before modifiers).
• Fanatical (Redemptionist): Can re-roll Nerve tests if the result is 2 (before modifiers).
• Corrupted/Infected (Chaos, Genestealer Cult): Cannot generate or use Faith dice.

note

The distinction between 'Cawdor' and 'Redemptionist' is only used for the purposes of Piety/Fanatical and alignment, all fighters are otherwise considered 'Cawdor'.

Wargear: Ridge Walker.

Special Rules: Gang Fighter (Prospect), Tools of the Trade, Promotion (Cawdor Firebrand or Redemptionist Deacon), Born in the Saddle, Hot-headed, Fast Learner, Pious.

Promotion (Cawdor Firebrand or Redemptionist Deacon)

If, during the Downtime phase of a campaign, this fighter has gained five or more Advancements, this fighter may be promoted to become either a Cawdor Firebrand or a Redemptionist Deacon as the controlling player wishes.

When a fighter is promoted in this way, they will from now on count as a Cawdor Firebrand or a Redemptionist Deacon for the purposes of determining which equipment and skill sets they can access. Their existing characteristics do not change, but they will lose the Promotion (Cawdor Firebrand or Redemptionist Deacon), Born in the Saddle, Hot-headed, Fast Learner and Pious special rules and gain all the special rules associated with a Cawdor Firebrand or a Redemptionist Deacon, as appropriate.

Note that when a fighter is promoted in this way (especially when promoted to become a Redemptionist Deacon), an appropriate model should be used to represent their new category and type.

Born in the Saddle

This fighter is more comfortable on their mount than onfoot and would never be without it. Their Ridge Walker must be included on every Fighter card for this fighter.

Hot-headed

Fighters with this special rule have much to prove and often act on impulse alone, hoping to impress their superiors. Consequently, older and wiser fighters expect them to be short-lived. Should a fighter with this special rule be Seriously Injured or be taken Out of Action, friendly fighters that are within 3" do not have to take a Nerve test, unless they also have this special rule.

Fast Learner

During Campaign play, when this fighter gains a characteristic Advancement, they do not need to spend an additional 2 XP if the characteristic being improved has already been improved. In other words, this fighter may improve a characteristic any number of times (up to the maximum) for the basic XP cost shown each time.

Pious

A devout member of House Cawdor, this fighter adheres closely to the teachings of the Redemption, whilst dutifully denying the path of the fanatic. In addition, if this fighter rolls a natural double 1 on their Cool check when making a Rally test, they may immediately re-roll that Cool check.
