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.
| 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. | |

Changes and Updates
Initial Release
- Cataphract comes the Greek word Cataphractus, which means "fully enclosed." Historically, the Cataphracts were mounted, armored knights, but skorne merely borrowed the literal meaning, not the historical. The word Cetratus is latin for a soldier with a short shield. So these guys are "Fully enclosed knights with shields". Yes.
- Unit released in Primal Mk1 (2006)
- CA released in Forces of Hordes: Skorne (2010)
Lore
The cetrati embody perfect skorne discipline and fearless tenacity. A wall of these warriors charging across the field with their shields locked and their wicked polearms aimed forward will crush through lines of lesser infantry and bring down warbeasts. They steadfastly occupy strategic ground and then lock into formation, cutting down any enemy unfortunate enough to engage them. The very epitome of cataphract stoicism, strength, and martial prowess, Tyrant Vorkesh is veritable juggernaut of armored destruction. As Vorkesh cleaves through enemy after enemy, his deadly accuracy with his weapon, the Arm of Rahal, inspires the cataphracts around him to strike with the utmost skill and precision, while his sheer force of will shields them from enemy magic.
