Purdy81 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi folks, Just played my first game in 17 years against my mate, who's never played before. anyway after getting home and reading through the rules things are starting to make sense after actually playing. However Im a bit confused about the universal special rules, example terminators have the relentless special rule p102 of C:SM which is fine I get that, but in the forums whilst reading up on lightning claws some people have mentioned giving there termiantor assault squads the "furious charge" special rule, apparently very good for claws, how do you equip these Special rules? do they have ponits costs? are certain rules specific for certain types? basically i dont get how you add these rules to my squads in the army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Rik Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Such rules only affect units that already have that rule, or if some other rule or event causes them to have such a rule - such as the Blood Angel's Red Thirst and Blood Rage, or if a model such as a Chaplain joins the unit, conferring new special rules to the unit while he is attached. You cannot "buy" a special rule for any given unit except in the rarest of circumstances, and then it will be explained within the unit's codex entry.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 As I said in my post, Black Templars and Dark Angels still have the ability to buy Veteran Skills, a.k.a. Special Rules for 3 points a model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
