Hatred

A model striking a hated foe in close combat re-rolls all failed To Hit rolls during the first round of combat -- this represents the unit venting its pent-up hatred upon the foe. After this initial blood-mad hacking, the impetus is considered to be spent -- the rest of the combat is fought normally. Sometimes a model will only Hate a specific foe; where this is the case, the type of foe will be expressed in the special rule. Where an army Hates a certain faction, they have Hatred against all models from that army book. Models with Hatred must also re-roll successful rolls to restrain from pursuit against enemies they have Hatred against. If a unit would gain Hatred in a round of close combat after the first for any reason, treat this as the first round of combat for that purpose.
