Structures represent fortifications, large and immobile artillery, sacred shrines, and other fixed positions that lend support to an army on the battlefield. They are a model that can be added to your army.


<h1>Recap for Newbies</h1>
None. The official rules are short and sweet.

From page 85 of the 2020.02 edition of the core rules.
 Model Type 
Structures are independent models and are not warrior models.
 Fixed Position 
A structure cannot be moved or placed and has no Normal Movement. A structure is never affected by the rule of least disturbance. Because it has no Normal Movement, a structure cannot aim.
A structure cannot become <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Knocked_down" title="Knocked down">knocked down</a> or be made <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Stationary" title="Stationary">stationary</a>. A structure never suffers <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Blind" title="Blind">Blind</a>.
A structure cannot make free strikes.
A structure is automatically hit by melee attacks. A structure never gains the DEF bonus from concealment, cover, or elevation. A structure cannot gain <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Incorporeal" title="Incorporeal">Incorporeal</a> or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Stealth" title="Stealth">Stealth</a> . A model can never gain a back strike bonus against a structure. A structure cannot be affected by <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Grievous_Wounds" title="Grievous Wounds">Grievous Wounds</a>.
 Ranged Attacks While in Melee 
A structure can make ranged attacks while in melee.

<h3>Huge-Based models</h3>

<dl><dd> Fields of Fire
<dl><dd> Page 37 A huge-based model’s front arc is marked on its base. Its front arc is further divided into two 90° fields of fire. These fields of fire determine which models a huge-based model can target with its weapons, depending on the location of those weapons. Weapons located on a huge-based model’s left side (L) can be used to target only models in its left field of fire, and weapons located on its right side (R) can be used to target only models in its right field of fire. Weapons with locations “S,” “H,” or “—” can be used to target models in either field of fire. If any part of a model’s base is on the line separating the left and right fields of fire, the model is considered to be in both fields of fire.</dd></dl></dd></dl>

<ul><li> The main differences between structures and the other huge bases are:
<ul><li> Structures can't aim.</li>
<li> Structures can't forfeit their Normal Movement (because they have none). If they're hit by an effect that makes the target "forfeit either Normal Movement or Combat Action as it's controller chooses" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Stranglehold" title="Stranglehold">Stranglehold</a>) then the structure must forfeit its Combat Action. </li>
<li> Unlike Colossals and Gargantuans, your opponent can <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Take_control" title="Take control">take control</a> of your structure. There are very few such abilities that work on this model type, though.</li></ul></li></ul>
Huge Base (<a class="external text" href="../index2a4a.html?title=Template:RC_Huge_Base&action=edit" rel="nofollow">Edit</a>)

<ul><li> You can draw LOS from your Left arc to a target in your Right arc (and vice versa). <a href="File_LOS_Oddity2.html" title="File:LOS Oddity2.jpg">See also this diagram</a></li>
<li> Huge-based models get bonus distance if they do a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Power_Attack:_Slam" title="Power Attack: Slam">Power Attack: Slam</a> or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Power_Attack:_Power_Strike" title="Power Attack: Power Strike">Power Attack: Power Strike</a>. </li></ul>
<dl><dd> But this bonus doesn't apply to slams triggered by normal attacks (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Critical_Smite" title="Critical Smite">Critical Smite</a> or the <a href="/index.php?title=Hurricane" title="Hurricane">Hurricane</a>'s Thunder Charge ability).</dd></dl>
