Special Rules
Horde Rule
Horde Rule gives a depleted unit a chance to return missing models before it carries out a command. Roll once for each missing model and return one for every result of 5 or higher.
How Horde Rule works
Horde Rule is an Asylumists army-package special rule.
Before resolving any command assigned to this unit, if this unit has fewer models than its starting number of models, roll one D6 for each missing model.
For each roll of 5+, return one model to the unit.
Place each returned model within 2 inches of at least one remaining model in this unit and not within 2 inches of any enemy model.
If a returned model cannot be placed legally, do not add that model to the unit.
Horde Rule resolves before the assigned command is carried out, including before a Rally command is resolved.
Returned models are added to the unit; they are not removed from another unit, do not count as healing Sustained Damage, and do not change any damage or removal timing unless another rule explicitly states otherwise.
Example
A unit or weapon with Horde Rule meets the rule's stated condition. Before resolving any command assigned to this unit, if this unit has fewer models than its starting number of models, roll one D6 for each missing model. Once those steps are complete, play continues normally.
