Fall Over (Chaos Siege Giant)
URL Copied!

A Giant must test to see whether it falls over if any of the following apply:

  • When it is beaten in close combat. Test once results are established but before taking a Break test.

  • If it is fleeing at the start of the Movement phase.

  • When it crosses an obstacle. Test when the obstacle is reached.

  • If the Giant decides to Flail and Crush an enemy. Test immediately beforehand.

To see if a Giant falls over, roll a D6. If the dice roll is a 1, the Giant falls over. A slain Giant falls over automatically.

To determine in which direction the Giant falls, roll a scatter dice. Place the Fallen Giant template with its feet at the model's base and its head in the direction of the fall (if a 'Hit!' is rolled, the direction of the fall is determined by the small arrow on the Hit! symbol). The Fallen Giant template is a special shaped template, which otherwise uses all the template rules from the Warhammer rulebook (so any models lying completely or partially under it are automatically hit.

A model hit by a falling Giant takes a Strength 7 hit causing D3 wounds. If the unit is in combat and the Giant has fallen over whilst attempting to Flail and Crush, Wounds inflicted by a falling Giant count towards the combat result.

A Giant that falls over automatically suffers 1 Wound. If the Giant is in combat, then this Wound counts towards the combat resolution. Once on the ground (you may lie the model down if you wish) a Giant gets up in his following Movement phase, but may not move that turn.

Whilst on the ground, a Giant may not attack, but he can still defend himself so the enemy must still roll to score hits. If forced to flee whilst on the ground, the Giant is slain. If the Giant gets the opportunity to pursue his foes whilst on the ground, he stands up instead.

A Giant may attack in close combat as usual on the turn he stands up.
