Rulebook

The following rules apply to Monsters: Special Rules Monsters are subject to the following special rules: Stomp (D6), Swiftstride, Terror. Split Profile Ridden Monsters follow all the Split Profile rules for Cavalry. However, they may only have an armour save of a total of 2+ instead of the normal 1+. The riders can fire in 360 degrees around them, rather than only firing at targets within their front arc. This only applies to any missile weapons carried by the crew themselves, any missile weapons mounted on the Monster itself can only fire in the model's forward arc as normal. Any crew member that chooses to fire the mounted weapon cannot fire their own weapon in the same turn. Character Mount Some characters can ride Monsters. If a character has a ridden Monster, the whole model is treated as having the troop type Monster and thus follows all the rules for both characters and Monster models including the Split Profile rules above. A character on a ridden Monster cannot join other units. Unit Strength Monsters have a Unit Strength of double their original starting number of Wounds. Ridden Monsters add the number of riders to their Unit Strength. Line of Sight Monsters have a Line of Sight value of 5.

In most cases it will be fairly obvious which troop type category a model falls into, but as troop type is essentially an extension of the characteristic profile, you'll find that information in the relevant Warhammer Armies book. Most units in Warhammer conform to one of the following types. Characters In addition to their troop type, some models might also be noted as being characters. We're not going to worry about characters here, however – characters are such a powerful and important part of Warhammer that they have a chapter all to themselves later in the book. Complete Ranks There are multiple instances where the rules will mention a "complete rank of models". What constitutes as a complete rank of models varies for each troop type, and is specified for each of them in this chapter. Note that if the unit has an incomplete rear rank, but that rear rank still has the minimum number of required models according to its troop type, that rank still counts as being complete. Unit Strength & Line of Sight The values listed in this chapter are the default for each troop type. However, there may be some exceptions to this in the various Warhammer Armies book. Models and Base Sizes Each model should be mounted on a base to determine the width and depth of the unit. Each troop type has different generally approved base sizes, which are listed in each army book. In some cases, you might be using a model that requires a larger base than described. This is completely fine, as long as you try to keep it as close as possible to the normal approved base sizes. However, you may never have a base size that is smaller than the approved base sizes listed. Reference Chart Troop Type Min. Files for Rank Bonus Max.
