**StevetheDestroyeOfWorlds**

I forget about Soul Trap basically any time I actually buy it for an archon

**thekerrick**

I cannot for the life of me remember the number of dice to roll and when to do it for

Running, Fleet, Crusader, and Moving through cover

**lliu**

I also forget how the Tyranid Prime ONLY gives bonus WS to Warriors. Once I joined him with a group of Hormagants, and the group was WS5. My opponent got creamed, but I feel sort of bad now.

**SYKOJAK**

Go to ground, usually because, I still need full movement 8n the following turn.

**Eldarain**

Hammer of Wrath and Fear. Morale occasionally.

This entire thread is a good advertisement for why more people need to buy Ritides' Modcubes:

**lliu**

I know. I bought like 3 boxes when the Kickstarter came out.

**MacPhail**

The Rhino Repair ability for Immobilized results. On the rare occasion that I remember it AND it works, I'm a very happy treadhead.

**Vankraken**

Soul Blaze and Fear tend to be forgotten. Both tend to rarely do anything and in the case of fear most things are immune to it.

**Loremaster Of Awesomeness**

To shoot with units that aren't op

**Vector Strike**

Stuff that happens at start of turn/movement phase (spyder scarab spawn, etheral aura)

**Crimson Devil**

Hit and Run

For some reason I have a psychological blind spot to it.

**godardc**

It's funny that so many different rules got forgotten.
For me, it is the "warlord trait" that my warlord has. I rarely use it.

**Galef**

I'm surprised about people forgetting Night Fight. As a Daemon player, I remember to roll that every game. I only "forget" when I pal Eldar (and no that isn't cheating since NF is only rolled if a player wants to roll it)

I always get excited when I remember Fear, then I immediately feel sad cuz I'm playing a Fearless or ATSKNF army. Or I'm playing against Tau that will hit on 5's anyway.

**Dakka Wolf**

I forget a lot of rules for my Wolf Priests.
I forget to declare preferred enemy unit type at the start of the game.
I forget he gets a 4++ save from his Wolf Amulet.
I forget he causes Fear.

**lliu**

I keep forgetting that my Nids fire at bonus BS when Overwatching, because of Synapse.

**commander dante**

That Legion Veterans have both Bolt Pistols AND Combat Blades, granting them +1 attack
(And is worth the points, as 160 for 10 gets you those AND veteran tactics, whereas a basic tactical squad is 150 points and is +2ppm for a Combat Blade)

**Buttery Commissar**

Usually Warp Storm table.

Night Fighting. Every fething time.

Oh jesus, it's been months since I last remembered.

**ZergSmasher**

I usually forget Soul Blaze and Fear (Fear is easy to forget since most stuff in the game doesn't care about it).

Today, inexcusably, I mostly forgot about my Tau Dawn Blade Contingent's good ability (that lets you reroll wounds/armor penetration against a chosen unit each turn). In my defense, it's the first time I've ever run a Dawn Blade, and I still won the game by a huge margin (my list was just way stronger than my opponent's).

**Klowny**

When I do run my wraiths I always forget they have rending, and get annoyed when they are so underwhelming haha

Forgot my destroyers have 2 wounds once, they died pretty quickly that game lol

Whenever I run a special character I almost always forget about their special rules for the first game or two haha. Never realise how good they are until a few games in haha

**the_scotsman**

Fear. Every damn time. And I play Harlequins soooooo....

Gotta remember to ask my opponents before they assault if they're spooked by my spoopy flying skimmers.

Harlequins: They're LSDelicious.

**ChiliPowderKeg**

Hammerhead squadrons have Fireteam

It's definitely saved a number of enemy vehicles

**Jacksmiles**

Fear, grenades, night fighting, to roll mysterious objectives (and to apply their effects when we do)

Also, I still have to be reminded sometimes that Swooping FMC aren't scoring. I'm getting better with it, I just have moments where I draw an objective that's linebreaker or secure objective x and get excited because a daemon prince is there, forgetting entirely that I swooped with it. Luckily my opponent remembers 95% of the time, and 3% of the time I realize before I draw more cards and take the point back. (Numbers totally arbitrary)

**Nightlord1987**

I often forget Warlord Traits. And the Drop Pods storm bolter.

And alot of folks where I play always start rolling for hits before I have decided whether to Jink or not.

Now, since I am both (an honest) Chaos player AND an ork player I often remind my Opponent about fear tests, challenges, soul blaze, and random allocation of wounds which for both my armies hurts alot!

**Galef**

I don't forget Soulblaze, I ignore it with extreme prejudice. It is the most worthless rule in 40K

**Slayer-Fan123**

Apparently Shriek is done on the highest LD and not majority. It hardly ever matters but it still hurts to know I've been using it wrong.

**lliu**

I fall to Chaos.

**TheCustomLime**

Smoke launchers. Almost all of my tanks have them but I rarely if ever remember they are an option let alone use them.

**Martel732**

It's almost always better to flat out than to pop smoke.

**WangoFett**

The Hamadrya (always forget this but never feel like I missed out on anything, just a complete waste of time and ink).

Night Fighting.

I often forget that a unit has gone to ground in a previous turn (but easily fixed with some reminder tokens).

Sabotaged Objectives.

(edit) Soul Blaze!

**Selym**

I have, on many an occasion, forgotten the movement phase.
Derpbrain to the rescue!
