Model States

• A model may enter into a number of different States during a game.
• A model may be in more than one State at a time.
• Markers should be placed on a model or it’s profile card to clearly indicate a model’s State to the Opponent.

MODEL STATE	EFFECT
Berserk	Show + While a model has any Berserk Markers it gains the Aggressive trait and immediately gains an Impetuous Marker. This model must declare a Melee if in range of the nearest enemy model If not it must declare a Charge action if in range of the nearest enemy model Otherwise this model must declare a run action towards the nearest enemy model in the most direct route possible. If the model is unable to Target an Enemy due to a trait, Ki Feat or Unique Effect it may instead perform any action. During the End Phase remove all Berserk markers in play.
Bleeding	Show + If a model has Bleed Markers it is considered to be Bleeding. During the End Phase remove the highest value Bleed Marker; the model suffers a number of wounds equal to the removed Bleed Marker’s value. If the model still has three or more Bleed Markers, repeat the process, continuing to do so until the model has only 2 markers. If a Bleeding model Heals any of its marked wounds from its wound track by any means, remove all Bleed Markers from it. See also: Bleed
Blind	Show + If a model has a Blind Marker it cannot draw LoS outside of BtB and suffers a -1 Melee Pool modifier during Melee Exchanges. Blind models may not declare Run or Charge Actions. During the End Phase remove all Blind markers from each model with any Blind Markers. Models with Sixth Sense automatically have Immune [Blind]. FAQ Q. If a model with a Blind Marker is attacked are they always Surprised? A. No. If the attacking model ends its movement in BtB within the front arc of the target then the target is not surprised as it can draw line of sight to the attacker.
Controlled	Show + A Controlled model switches Warbands for a number of actions dependent on the number of Control Markers it has. Whilst Controlled the Controlling player may declare any action the model would normally be able to perform but may not spend Tokens or remove its Tokens. The model does generate Ki Tokens. For each Activation Counter removed from the model, also remove a Control Marker. If a model has only one Control Marker it cannot declare Complex Actions. As soon as all the Control Markers are removed the model returns to the original player’s Warband. While Controlled, if an effect applies further Control Markers, instead remove one marker for each Control Marker the effect would add.
Death Sentence	Show + When a friendly model Targets an enemy model with any Death Sentence Markers with a Ranged Attack or is involved in a Melee Exchange with a model with any Death Sentence Markers, it gains +1 Melee Pool, +1 Ranged Pool and +1 to Damage Rolls. During the Starting Phase, a model with a Death Sentence Marker may spend 3 Ki to remove one Death Sentence Marker from itself.
Diseased	Show + If a model has Disease Markers it is considered to be Diseased. During the Start Phase remove a Disease Marker and an Activation Counter. See also: Disease
Disguised	Show + While a model has a Disguise (X) Marker, Enemy models with a Ki Statistic of 1 or less cannot Target or voluntarily move into BtB with the Disguised model. If the enemy model has a Ki Statistic of 2 or greater, when making a Ranged Attack or Ki Feat against a Disguised model, once the attack or Feat has been determined to be in range, the Enemy model must make a Challenge (X) Ki Test. When attempting to move into BtB, determine if the model has enough movement to reach BtB and if so, make a Challenge (X) Ki Test. If the Enemy model is successful remove the Disguise Marker and resolve the action as normal. If unsuccessful its activation ends before any movement and it removes an Activation Counter as if it had completed the attempted action. If a Disguised model declares a Melee, Ranged, Charge or Scenario Actions; or participates in a Melee Exchange remove its Disguise Marker. While a model is Disguised enemy models may ignore its ZoC.

Frightened	Show + This model gains the Defensive trait and suffers a -1 Melee and Ranged Pool modifier. It may not declare Actions that would move it into BtB with Enemy models with the Fear trait. During the Main Phase Frightened models automatically fail Fear Tests. During the End Phase the model must retake the Fear Test with the same Challenge Number as it failed when entering the Frightened State, if successful remove all Frightened Markers. See also: Fear FAQ Q. If a model becomes Frightened due to an effect which does not require a Fear Test, such as Reiji Kinoko or Temo's Blowpipe, how do you determine the Challenge Number for retaking the test in the End Phase? A. The model does not need to retake the test as no test was ever made, and therefore no Challenge Number has been set. All Frightened markers acquired in this way are removed in the End Phase. Q. Which Traits are applied when retaking the Fear Test in the End Phase? A. Dread and Terror will not apply to the End Phase Fear Test. Cowardly and Bravery work as normal. Courage and Leadership too.
Held	Show + As long as a model is Held it gains the Defensive trait and cannot declare any Actions except Disengage, Ki Feats usable in Melee Exchanges or Stand Up. A Held model cannot move or be moved, except to change facing, and suffers a -1 Melee Pool. Remove the model’s Held Marker when: The Holding model is no longer in BtB with the Held model. The Holding model participates in a Melee Exchange with another model. Or the Held model has successfully Disengaged from the Holding model. A Model with the Intangible or Agile trait has Immune [Held]. Also See Intangible Agile
Immobilised	Show + When an Immobilised model declares a Melee, Run, Charge, Scenario Action, Stand Up, Heal, or any Action including Movement (including changing facing); before the Action, the model must make a Size (6) Challenge Test. If unsuccessful the model’s action is considered resolved. If successful the model removes all Immobilised markers and resolves its action as normal. An Immobilised model cannot declare the use of Special Attacks or Special Defences. A model can declare a Wait Action to remove all Immobilised Markers. Enemy models in BtB with an Immobilised model can declare Actions as if they were not in BtB. If an Immobilised model is moved by any other effect then remove all Immobilised Markers from it. Intangible models have Immune [Immobilised]. FAQ Q. The Immobilized state says to remove the state if the model is moved by any effect. Does this include attacking the model in melee from a direction that would cause them to turn and change facing? A. No. Turning to face as part of a melee exchange is not movement. Q. If a model goes Prone while Immobilised, does this remove the Immobilised state? A. No. Going Prone does not count as movement so the Immobilised state remains.
Impetuous	Show + As long as any model in a warband has an Impetuous Marker and any Activation Counters no models without an Impetuous Marker may Activate. Remove one Impetuous Marker when the model performs an action consuming any number of Activation Counters.
On Fire	Show + If a model has Fire Markers it is considered to be On Fire. During the End Phase remove the highest value Fire Marker, the model suffers a number of wounds equal to the removed Fire Marker’s value. These wounds ignore the Tough trait. If the model still has three or more Fire Markers, repeat the process, continuing to do so until the model has only 2 markers. A model with Fire Markers on its Profile Card, or a Friendly model in BtB, may take a Wait Action to remove two Fire Markers from the model. See also: Fire
Poisoned	Show + If a model has Poison Markers it is considered Poisoned. During the End Phase remove the highest value Poison Marker, the model suffers a number of wounds equal to the removed Poison Marker’s value. If the model still has three or more Poison Markers, repeat the process, continuing to do so until the model has only 2 markers. See also: Poison
Prone	Show + If a model is Prone it suffers a -1 Melee Pool modifier and does not block LoS. Enemy models may ignore a Prone model's ZoC and may choose not to be considered in BtB with them when declaring or performing their Actions, meaning the action choice is not restricted by being in BtB with the Prone model. Enemy models may choose not to be considered in BtB with them during a Melee Exchange with another model. Prone models are always the Attacker second in Melee Exchanges and may not benefit from Traits or effects that affect Initiative or use Special Abilities. The only Action a Prone model may declare is Stand Up. If a Prone model initiates a Melee Exchange through taking a Stand Up action it suffers -1 Melee Pool modifier for that Melee Exchange but initiative is not affected. Also see Jump Up FAQ Q. Can a model which is Prone provide assistance to another friendly model during a melee exchange? A. The enemy model may choose not to be considered in BtB contact with a Prone model, which would negate the ability to assist unless they choose to stay in BtB.
Reloading	Show + While a model has Reload Markers, it may not use any weapon with the Reload trait to make Ranged Attacks. A model may perform a Wait Action to remove 1 Reload Marker. See also: Ammo
Spirit Block	Show + If a model has a Spirit Block Marker it does not generate Ki Tokens during the Ki Generation step. At the end of the Ki Generation Step remove one Spirit Block Marker from each model with a Spirit Block marker.
Stunned	Show + If a model has a Stunned Marker it suffers a -1 Melee Pool and -1 Ranged Pool modifier. During the End Phase remove one Stunned Marker from each model with a Stunned Marker. An affected model may take a Wait Action to remove all Stunned Markers.
