<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?
So I've just started 40k and there are some comments I've seen in battle reports which are confusing - I must be missing something. I often see references to the Fearless rule and additional wounds to be allocated - except in the BRB I can't see anything about additional wounds. All it says is that Fearless units never fail morale/pinning tests. I know that the SM have a rule "No retreat" or something that does create additional wounds, but not sure how this relates to the Scarabs?

What am I missing?

No Retreat! is a general rule that relates to Fearless units. SM units take No Retreat! wounds instead of getting run down after a Sweeping Advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286879.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?
So If your opponent fails 1 save and you fail 3 saves, your fearless unit takes 2 wounds to represent that they just got beat in combat, and instead of turning and running they stand their ground recieving more damage.

This is the rule you're looking for. It's not Space Marine specific, it applies to all Fearless units and Space Marines caught in a sweeping advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286976.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?

Yep, that's what I read on the web. But where is that written? I can't find it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286982.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?

It's in the Morale section. Don't recall the page number off hand.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4286991.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?

First sentence of the 'No Retreat' rule

This.


A reference in the USR section might have been helpful GW.

ok, but i have the rule book that came with Black Reach (the small one) and No Retreat is not in the USR section. So, unless I actually have the space marine codex, how would I know that rule applied ? Sheesh, what other rules are generally applied that are in codexes I don't have?

You're misunderstanding.

No Retreat! is a rule in the BRB. And They Shall Know No Fear is the ability SMs have that references No Retreat!.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287042.page GMT Re:Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds? I edited to remove my dumb statement.

Apparently not fast enough.

Next time I will check in the Units section for the rule that says I can't disembark from a vehicle moving flat out.

BEFORE asking Dakka!

Thanks anyway]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287073.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287073.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?

It's in the main rule book, and the mini rule book. It is NOT a USR. It is in the Close combat section Morale.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287076.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds? BRB, unsure about the small one but I assume that has an index too, so I don't see why it wouldn't be there either.

Indexes are for life, not just for Christmas and that time where you discover it whilst reading your RB on the porcelain throne.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287384.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287384.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds?

Well, reading through the rules a couple times you would've seen the No Retreat! rules in the assault resolution section ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287458.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287458.page GMT Necron Scarabs - Fearless wounds? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449962/4287460.page GMT
