Model Advantages and Abilities

Resistance-Blast	When this model suffers a blast damage roll, remove one die from the damage roll. No errata for Resistance-Blast (Create)
Flight	This model can fly. Interaction with terrain: Treat storm terrain as rough terrain while advancing. Treat all other non-impassable terrain as open terrain while advancing. Obstructions can be advanced through if the model has enough movement to move comletely past the obstruction. Obstructions can be moved onto if the obstructions are large enough to accomodate the flying model's base. Models without flight ignores the continuous effects from the following hazards, unless they become knocked down within the hazard: Acid Bath Burning Earth Interaction with other models Other models can be moved through if the flying model has enough movement to move completely past the other model. Interaction with power attacks Ignore intervening models when declaring the flying model's charge target. Do not stop its movement when it contacts an obstacle, obstruction, or another model while charging, slam power attacking, or trampling. Unintential movement is not advancing (pushes slams). This way, a model with flight can be slammed into an obstruction. Other effects While knocked down or stationary, this model loses Flight.   Errata-Razor Wall (2023-12-28) Question: Does a model with flight still take damage going over a razor wall? Answer: Yes. Explanation: Because Flight does not state a specific interaction with Razor Wall, and Razor Wall does not state any specific interaction with Flight, one can safely conclude that there are no special interactions. A model with Flight will suffer the damage point if it enters or ends its activation in the area of the wall template. Infernal Ruling: Unofficial Answer - PP Community forum
Alchemical Mask	This model does not suffer gas effects. When determining LOS or resolving attacks, this model ignores cloud effects and concealment granted from cloud effects. No errata for Alchemical Mask (Create)
Flying High	Ranged attacks targeting a model with Flying High suffer -3 RNG. Friendly models can advance through a model with Flying High if they have enough movement to move completely past its base. Models lose Flying High if they lose Flight. No errata for Flying High (Create)

Pistol	A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.   Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17) Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray? Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee. Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

• All models of a unit are Trooper models.

  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)

	Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
	Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
	Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.

Lore

Squads of Crucible Guard rocketmen streak across the skies, giving the Crucible Guard an edge against a more numerous foe. Rocketmen assault the flanks of an opposing force, picking off strategic targets with their carbines or dropping devastating gravity bombs into packed enemy formations. Able to fly over traditional defenses, rocketmen squads are tactically versatile soldiers unlike anything before seen in the modern militaries of the Iron Kingdoms.
