Cities of Sigmar – Gotrek Gurnisson
•REGIMENT OF RENOWN•
Gotrek Gurnisson
Gotrek Gurnisson hails from a world lost to legend. After a great shame befell him, he swore an oath to meet an honourable death in battle – but with his warrior skill and the unwelcome favour of the fallen god Grimnir, no foe has yet proven equal to the task. Cantankerous, surly and stubborn to a fault, Gotrek is ever travelling across the realms in search of battle. For a worthy cause, he might lend his axe for a time; still, allies are wise to keep out of the Slayer’s business, if they know what’s good for them. | ||

18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect. Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.15.3 Pile-in Moves
Some abilities, such as FIGHT abilities, allow a unit to make a short move called a pile-in move to get into a better position for combat. To do so:If your unit is in combat: Pick an enemy unit your unit is in combat with to be the target of the pile-in move. Each model in your unit can move up to 3". That move can pass through the combat ranges of any enemy units, but each model must end that move no further from the target unit. At the end of the move, your unit must still be in combat with all units that it was in combat with at the start of the move.
If your unit is not in combat: Each model in your unit can move 3" in any direction. That move can pass through and end within the combat ranges of any enemy units.

13.1 Fight Abilities
Abilities with the FIGHT keyword follow a different sequence to other abilities. When the players are using Combat Phase
abilities as described in 13.0, they cannot use FIGHT abilities.After the players have finished using
Combat Phase
abilities that are not FIGHT abilities, they must alternate picking 1 eligible unit to use a FIGHT ability, starting with the active player. Each unit in combat must use a FIGHT ability if it is able to.Once a player has no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, the other player continues to pick units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability, one after another, until there are no more units that are eligible to use a FIGHT ability.

Addenda: fought
Add the following definition:
‘fought: A unit has fought if it used any FIGHT abilities in the same turn.’
‘fought: A unit has fought if it used any FIGHT abilities in the same turn.’
19.0 Strike-first and Strike-last
If there are any STRIKE-FIRST units in combat after any non-FIGHT combat phase abilities have been used, other units cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability until those units have been picked to use a FIGHT ability. After all those STRIKE-FIRST units have fought, the active player picks the next unit to fight.If there are any STRIKE-LAST units in combat, they cannot be picked to use a FIGHT ability if there are any units in combat that do not have STRIKE-LAST and have not yet used a FIGHT ability.
If a unit has STRIKE-FIRST and STRIKE-LAST, treat it as if it had neither.
| There may be situations when a unit that has STRIKE-FIRST is not in combat at the start of the phase, but because of moves such as pile-in moves, it is ‘pulled into combat’ later in the phase. In such cases, STRIKE-FIRST has no effect on that unit because it was not in combat at the start of the phase. Abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST or STRIKE-LAST constraints, so you could not pick a unit with STRIKE-LAST to fight immediately after a unit with STRIKE-FIRST. | ||
FAQ / Errata
FAQ
| Q: | Can I use an ability that allows a friendly unit that does not have STRIKE-FIRST to fight immediately after a friendly unit that has STRIKE-FIRST if there are one or more enemy units with STRIKE-FIRST that have not yet been picked to fight? |
| A: | No. As mentioned in the sidebar next to 19.0, abilities that allow a unit to use a FIGHT ability immediately after another unit do not override the STRIKE-FIRST constraints, so you cannot pick a unit that does not have STRIKE-FIRST to fight until all other units that have STRIKE-FIRST have fought. |
| Q: | If a friendly unit is the only unit that has STRIKE-FIRST on the battlefield and it has an ability that allows a friendly unit to fight immediately after it, in what order would units be picked to fight? |
| A: | If you are the active player, the unit that has STRIKE-FIRST would fight first, then you could use the ability to allow another friendly unit to fight immediately after it, and then you would pick the next unit to fight (i.e. three friendly units would fight back to back). If your opponent is the active player, the unit that has STRIKE-FIRST would fight first, you could still use the ability to allow another friendly unit to fight, and then your opponent would pick the next unit to fight. |
| Q: | In the combat phase, if all eligible non-STRIKE‑LAST units have used a FIGHT ability, which player gets to pick the first STRIKE-LAST unit to fight? |
| A: | The alternating sequence of picking units to use a FIGHT ability would continue and so the player who did not pick the last non-STRIKE-LAST unit would get to pick the first eligible STRIKE-LAST unit in their army to use a FIGHT ability. |

3.5 Regiments of Renown
In addition to creating your own regiments, you can also spend points to include 1 Regiment of Renown. Regiments of Renown are pre-built regiments, each with their own special abilities. The rules for each Regiment of Renown will specify which factions can include it. A unit in a Regiment of Renown cannot be your general even if it is a WARMASTER.- You cannot include more than one Regiment of Renown in your army unless otherwise specified in the notes column of that regiment’s battle profile.
- Units in a Regiment of Renown cannot use (but can be picked as the target of, if otherwise eligible) any faction rules from the faction they are allied into, including enhancements and lores.
- If an ability allows you to set up a replacement unit (Core Rules, 24.2) for a unit in a Regiment of Renown, that unit also counts as being part of that Regiment of Renown.
