<h1><span class="mw-headline" id="Units_have_a_Leader_Model">Units have a Leader Model</span></h1>
<p>In short:
</p>
<ul><li> Leader models tell the unit what to do</li>
<li> The Leader is the Unit Commander</li>
<li> All other models must be in the Leader's command range ("In formation") to activate normally this turn</li></ul>
<p>Most leader models are equipped in the same way as the grunts in their units and typically have the same stats and rules.
</p><p><i>Sometimes</i> they have additional rules attached to them, however. In most instances, the leader model is field promoted when they are killed.
</p>
<ul><li> If a Leader model is <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Removed_from_Play" title="Removed from Play">Removed from Play</a>, they do <b>not</b> get field promoted.</li>
<li> This means that any special rules or equipment specific to the Leader model are lost.</li>
<li> You then choose another model in the unit to be the Unit Commander.
<ul><li> This model then determines which models are in formation or not...so choose wisely.</li></ul></li></ul>
<h1><span class="mw-headline" id="Units_Receive_Orders">Units Receive Orders</span></h1>
<p>The unit can receive orders from its Leader. Mostly, this is the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Press_Forward" title="Press Forward">Press Forward</a> order which allows a unit to run or charge.
</p><p>There are various other orders specific to particular units, such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shield_Wall" title="Shield Wall">Shield Wall</a>. When this is available, you will see the word "Order" in brackets on the unit's card.
</p><p>Some rules, such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Stationary" title="Stationary">Stationary</a> prevent models from giving orders while others such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Night_Howls" title="Night Howls">Night Howls</a> prevent models in a certain range from giving <i>or</i> receiving orders.
</p>
<ul><li> In that instance, models that would normally receive orders can only advance and make their basic melee attack.</li></ul>
<h1><span class="mw-headline" id="Grunts_and_Troopers">Grunts and Troopers</span></h1>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Troopers">Troopers</span></h2>
<p>All models in a unit are Troopers.
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Grunts">Grunts</span></h2>
<p>Most models in a unit are Grunts. For example, if you look at a <a href="/index.php?title=Winter_Guard_Infantry" title="Winter Guard Infantry">Winter Guard Infantry</a> card, you will see it gives options for <i>Leader and 5/9 Grunts</i>.
</p><p>The Grunts are the bog standard soldiers in the unit who aren't the Leader.
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="When_is_a_Trooper_not_a_Grunt.3F">When is a Trooper not a Grunt?</span></h2>
<ul><li> Named character models in a unit.
<ul><li> There are plenty of character units like this, such as the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Black_13th" title="Black 13th">Black 13th</a>.</li>
<li> There are some non-character units, such as the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Express_Team" title="Express Team">Express Team</a> - The Trollkin is specifically a <i>gunner</i>.</li></ul></li>
<li> When it's a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Weapon_Attachment" title="Weapon Attachment">Weapon Attachment</a>.</li>
<li> When it's an Officer or part of a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Command_Attachment" title="Command Attachment">Command Attachment</a>.</li></ul>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Why_is_this_important.2C_exactly.3F">Why is this important, exactly?</span></h2>
<ul><li> Field promotion.
<ul><li> If your unit Leader dies and there are no Grunts to Field Promote, you must pick one other model to be the Unit Commander.
<ul><li> A Weapon Attachment or Standard could end up being the Unit Commander.</li>
<li> Any sweet rules attached to the original Leader model are still gone.</li></ul></li></ul></li>
<li> Some spell effects, such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Revive" title="Revive">Revive</a> only bring Grunts back into play.
<ul><li> You can't bring any models with those sweet rules back into play.</li></ul></li></ul>
<h1><span class="mw-headline" id="Officers">Officers</span></h1>
<p>Officers are typically a Command Attachment option for a unit, either by themselves or with another model (such as a Sniper or Standard Bearer).
</p>
<ul><li> They take over the role of the Unit Commander while the Officer is alive.
<ul><li> Models in formation are measured from this model.</li>
<li> This model issues the orders.</li></ul></li>
<li> If this model dies, no other model is promoted to be the Officer.
<ul><li> The Unit Commander role will go back to the Leader model if he's still in play.</li>
<li> Any unused Once Per Game abilities are lost if they had not been used yet.</li>
<li> Any orders specific to the Officer are similarly not available.</li></ul></li></ul>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Granted_Abilities_vs_Tactics">Granted Abilities vs Tactics</span></h2>
<p>Some Officers will <i>Grant</i> its unit an ability while others will give them <i>Tactics</i>.
</p>
<ul><li> Rules that are <b>Granted</b> to the unit are lost when the model dies.</li>
<li> Rules that are <b>Tactics</b> remain regardless of whether the Officer is alive or not.</li></ul>
