Breaking The Rules Moving & Falling: No Cheating Rules Same As M2E LOS Same From M2E, With Some Clarifications
When special rules directly contradict each other, rules that prevent something Changing location or being effected by a movement effect is considered to
take precedent over rules that allow something to happen. be moved (even if it moved 0”)
Moving vertically on climbable terrain has a rate of 1Mv per 1”
Models that ignore terrain while moving do not have to use any movement
STAT CARDS on vertical movement when walking up a climbable surface, only the
Model can never have a stat reduced below 0 horizontal part of the movement counts.
Charge removed A model falls if…
Walk changed to Move If it leaves base contact with all climbable terrain while moving vertically
Wounds changed into Health If it ends its movement without any of its base on terrain or the table
Height changed into Size A model that falls suffers damage equal to half the fall distance rounded
AP removed from the game; now models have Actions and a Bonus Action down in inches then may continue moving.
Moving towards or away from something clarifies you use the center of the
involved objects for reference (models, terrain, markers, ect).
Unless pushed, a model moving closer can move around impeding

Upgrades grant base benefit and additional benefit to minions
Unless pushed, a model moving away can move around impeding objects
Upgrades are unique by default and a crew may on have one copy of each. if it maximizes the distance between them, but it can never move in a
Upgrade Restrictions include way that decreases the distance it and the object
Plentiful (X) – Crew can have X copies of it
Restricted (Name) – Only indicated model(s) can take upgrade
Special (Name) – Only attaches via in game actions/abilities
PUSH & PLACE
Pushes cannot be horizontally broken up (must be straight line)
Pushes cannot include vertical movement (can change elevation via stairs)
FATE CARDS Pushes DO NOT ignore severe terrain
Max hand size is 6, if you go above this you must discard back down to 6
If a model begins or ends a place in terrain, it counts as having moved
Players choose order of discarded cards
through it
Players can look through discard pile now
MEASURING
Measuring between elevated model and non-elevated model is
Distance = (V – LS) + H
V = Vertical distance between bases
LS = Lower models Size
H = Horizontal distance between bases
Added term, Completely Within: all of base must be within the range
0” range means base to base contact
A model isn’t in base contact with itself

Concealment: Non-close attacks against a model with concealment puts the Charge – Model pushes its Mv and takes an attack action
attack action on a (-). Limited to once per turn and not while engaged
Clarification; if models base is overlapping terrain it is in the terrain The charge action doesn’t target a model, so it doesn’t need LoS
Change is a push so it can’t go up terrain
Terrain Traits and Clarifications Interact same as before but…
Blocking – If the height of this terrain is equal to or greater than the size of CANNOT declare if this model took the disengage action this activation
models trying to draw LoS, then the sight lines through it are blocked. CAN remove friendly scheme markers now
Climbable – Models cannot move through this terrain, but may stand on it or Concentration – Model gains Focused +1

Dense – LoS can be drawn in and out of it, but not through it Neither model can declare triggers
Destructible – Models within 1” of this terrain can take an action to remove “Damage” gains (+) for every other enemy model engaging it
it from the table. Models on the terrain when it is removed fall. Disengaging model cannot take interact actions this activation

Height X – used for LoS purposes and casts a shadow Actions Resolve in following Order:
Impassable – Models and markers cannot move through this terrain. Declare Action, Pay Costs, Declare Target, Perform Duel, Apply Results
Severe – all non-placing movement is halved while within severe terrain Special modifiers, costs, or targeting limitations are displaced in italics
Sloped – Models ignore vertical movement cost on sloped terrain Costs noted in italics must be paid or the action fails
Hills and Staircases specially noted that you can move up and down them as A model can’t reduce itself to 0 Health to pay a cost.
if it was just horizontal movement. Clarified if an action’s effects cannot be resolved they are ignored
Clarified that model is considered to be resolving an action during every part
of the resolve process. So you can’t push out of hazardous terrain with an
START PHASE (PASS TOKENS) action and then considered the action resolved outside of the terrain.
Both players can spend any number of SS to draw extra cards; once all SS are Effects (actions, abilities, triggers, ect) that generate new actions must be
spent both players draw 2 cards per SS spent; players must still discard completely resolved (including after resolving effects) before any new action
down to max hand size after doing so is taken

ENGAGEMENT AND FRIENDLY FIRE REPLACE
Interact actions CAN be taken if you are engaging an enemy, but aren’t being The Replace rules work as follows.
engaged by them 1) Place new model in base contact with the original. If the model can’t fit,
Targeting an engaging or engaged model with a projectile attack causes that models limit is hit, or it is buried, than it isn’t added to the game.
Friendly Fire 2) New models Health is set to the lower option of the original models Health
Friendly fire means attack and damage flips gain a negative or the new models maximum Health. If the replace heals the new model, it
happens now.
3) Conditions and summoning upgrades on the original model are attached
TOKENS to the new model. All other upgrades are removed from the game.
Tokens stay on a model for the rest of the game or until removed by an 4) If new and original model are in same crew, the new model becomes the

tokens.
5) Remove the original model from the game. If the new and original models
MARKERS (CREATE & PLACE) are not in the same crew, the original model is considered to be killed. No
effects occur from the original model being removed (points or markers).
The default size for a marker is 30mm unless noted otherwise

BLASTS
If a model has a blast on weak damage, the blast deals 1 damage BURY
Clarified that damage increases don’t affect blast damage Buried models activate, but can’t take actions
Controller of unbury effect places the model
Unburied models that can’t be placed as specified by the action are placed
AURAS AND PULSES by its owner in their starting deployment zone
Both extend their range in every direction from the model, including up and Buried models are killed when the game ends
down
Aura’s are not cumulative and a model is only affected by one of a specific
name ONCE PER EFFECTS
Clarification that once per effects only apply to that model and not other
models within the crew with the same ability
SHOCKWAVES Clarification that once per effects are independent of each other
Attacker places a 30mm marker within range and LOS
Marker creates a pulse equal to the Shockwave’s value. Any models touched
by marker or within the pulse suffer the effects of the attack. TIMING
Shockwaves ignore Cover and Concealment The General timing for resolving multiple effects is as follows.
Models are only affected by a single shockwave marker placed by the same Active player (or player with initiative if no active) chooses the order of
action resolution for their models unresolved effects.
Non-active player resolves their effects in the order of their choosing.
Any effects still left unresolved are now resolved by active player
SUMMONING
Unless specified otherwise, summoned models come into play in base Other time notes are

model can’t be placed, it is not added to the game Resolve the initiate effect first
The summoning crew must discard a pass token or if they don’t have one, Additional effects resolve in the order they are generated after any
the opposing crew gains a pass token. effects which had been previously generated are resolved.
The summoned model is considered to be a part of the crew of the model Abilities with word “After” only happen after the current effect is resolved
that summoned it.
CANNOT summon a non-minion model if it already exists in their crew
CANNOT summon a minion model if you are already at your max limit
for them (noted number on card or 3 if not noted)
Many summoning effects require an upgrade to be attached to the model
If you can’t attach the upgrade the summon doesn’t happen
