Last updated 9 August 2026

How Dismember works

Dismember triggers when all models in this unit kill every enemy model within 1 inch of every model in this unit during close combat.

When Dismember triggers, immediately move all models in this unit 2 inches in any direction.

If that movement brings this unit within 1 inch of another enemy unit, immediately resolve one additional round of melee.

Dismember cannot trigger more than one additional round of melee from the same close combat resolution unless another rule explicitly states otherwise.

Example

A unit or weapon with Dismember meets the rule's stated condition. Dismember triggers when all models in this unit kill every enemy model within 1 inch of every model in this unit during close combat. Once those steps are complete, play continues normally.
