Ragnarok

by Tim Korklewski

  LEAP

  This model may spend 1 AP to immediately move their SP in a straight line, ignoring Terrain Elements and intervening models. Alternatively, this model may spend 2 AP to Charge in a straight line, ignoring Terrain Elements and intervening models.

  OBSESSED

  After Deployment, choose an enemy model. The model with the Special Ability Obsessed receives +1 to all Attacks and ST versus the chosen enemy model.

  PATCH (X)

  While within range (x), this model may spend 1 AP to heal a friendly, non-living model for 1 HP. You cannot heal a model beyond its base HP. While a model with the Special Ability Patch is on the table, all friendly, non-living models reduced to 0 HP become Incapacitated and Prone. Unless a friendly, not Incapacitated, model with Patch is within range (x) of the Incapacitated, non-living model when the End Phase begins, remove the Incapacitated and Prone models from play.

  PHALANX

  This model gains +1 DF when in base-to-base contact with another friendly model. Additionally, this model may select one model with whom it is in base-to-base contact to also gain +1 DF for as long as it remains in base-to-base contact with the model who has the Special Ability Phalanx.

  PHASING

  All ST against a model with the Special Ability Phasing is at -2. Phasing models may move through any Terrain Elements and other models without penalty if their ending point is within view. Phasing models may not end their Movement within a Terrain Element with the Keyword Blocks LOS or with their base overlapping another model’s base.

  REACTIVE

  This model may re-roll their DR on a failed Clash roll. They must keep the second roll.

  REGENERATION

  When this model activates, it immediately heals 1 HP. This model may also spend AP to heal 1 HP per AP spent. It may not heal past its base HP. When reduced to 0 HP, this model does not die; rather, it is Incapacitated and suffers all the penalties of being Incapacitated. If a model with the Special Ability Regeneration ever regains HP while Incapacitated, it becomes Prone and must Stand, as usual. If this model suffers additional Damage while Incapacitated, it dies and is immediately removed from play.

  SNIPER

  This model may re-roll one failed RA per activation.

  STALWART

  When attacked in melee combat, this model gains +2 Size.

  STEADY

  When targeted by Push, Pull, or Knockdown, this model gains +2 Size.

  STEALTH

  After Deployment, deploy this model anywhere on the battlefield that is at least 12” away from an enemy model.

  STUBBORN

  Enemy models must re-roll successful Mind-based Attacks or effects against this model. They must keep the second roll.

  SUPERIOR CLIMBING

  All areas of a Terrain Element are Climbable for this model. This model does not suffer the usual hit bonuses to Climbing models and is not knocked Prone if it Falls while Climbing. When Falling, the Fall has -2 Height.

  SURE-FOOTED

  This model may move through Difficult terrain without penalty.

  TACTICIAN (X)

  This model can cause one other friendly model within range (x) who has not yet activated this Round to immediately activate following this model’s activation.

  TAUNT (X)

  Choose one enemy model with which this model has LOS that has not yet activated this Round. Spend 1 AP to roll Taunt (x) versus the enemy model’s MN. If you succeed, the chosen model suffers -2 MA and -2 RA against all friendly models but this one. If the Success Stage is 3 or more, the chosen model must spend all its AP to move its SP directly toward this model—or Charge, if within range. If the chosen model is within MR for any of its Attacks, it must spend any remaining AP to Attack this model.

  TEAMWORK

  Models with the Special Ability Teamwork gain an additional +1 MA and +1 ST when they gain the Overwhelm bonus.

  TELEPORT (X)

  Spend 1 AP to move this model up to (x) in a straight line. This model must have LOS to its ending point. During this Movement, this model does not suffer Free Strikes, cannot suffer reactions, and can ignore other models and Terrain Elements. This model cannot end its Movement with its base overlapping another models’ base or any Terrain Element with the Keywords Blocks LOS or Impassable.

  TERRIFYING (X)

  When within ML or MR of this model, or when Charging or being Charged by this model, enemy models must roll MN versus (x). If they fail, they gain a Terrified counter and receive -1 MA, -1 RA, and -1 DF. The Terrified counter remains until the End Phase.

  VULNERABLE (X)

  Treat all Damage from Status (x) as Lethal.

  WEAPON MASTER

  This model may re-roll one failed MA attempt per activation.

  ARCING FIRE

  A model can use another friendly model’s LOS to target an enemy with a Ranged Attack. Ranged Attacks made in this way suffer -1 RA.

  BLIND (X) (STATUS)

  On a successful hit, before you roll and Resolve Damage, roll Blind ST (x) versus the target’s MN. If you succeed, the target suffers -1 ML and -1 RN. Additionally, the target cannot use RA to target an enemy model more than 6” away for the rest of the Round.

  CUMBERSOME

  IMPALED (X) (STATUS)

  A model who suffers the Status Impaled cannot spend AP on SP-based actions or Special Abilities and is Prone for the purposes of Melee Attacks. While Impaled, the model must stay in base-to-base contact with the model (or Terrain Element or other object) that caused the Impaled Status, even if that model or object moves. When you activate an Impaled model, you must spend 1 AP to roll DR versus Impaled ST (x). You may spend additional AP to make further attempts to free the model. If you succeed, the model is free and may act as usual with any remaining AP. If you fail, the model suffers -1 HP of Damage and it remains Impaled if it is not removed from play.
