Classes

Sentinel

In their Reactive role, Sentinels may gain +1 STK when performing an Attack.

Warrior

During their Strategic phase, a Warrior may shift to a Defensive Stance; the player indicates this by placing a Defensive Stance token next to the model. A Warrior in Defensive Stance has STK of 1 in its Active role and retains the default STK in its Reactive role (the same as if in Active role). The Defensive Stance lasts until the Warrior's next Strategic phase unless specified otherwise.

Traits

This model is immune to the Surprise Attack Trait. This model's Front arc extends to 360°. This model does not have a Back arc.

Watchful

This model receives a double amount of Activation Points in its Reactive role.

Skills

Impede

When this model declares an Attack of Opportunity with a Melee Attack against a non-Engaged model, that model's Movement ends at the point where the Attack of Opportunity is performed. If Attack of Opportunity was a Melee Attack, the target also becomes Engaged immediately.
