The Battle Standard Bearer
Choosing the Battle Standard Bearer
Some Characters can be upgraded to be the Battle Standard Bearer (BSB). This option will be noted under their unit entry in their respective Army Book. An army may only include a single Battle Standard Bearer (One per Army). The Battle Standard Bearer has the rule Hold Your Ground.
Hold Your Ground
A nonfleeing model with this rule gives “reroll failed Leadership Tests” to all friendly units within 12”. These units receive “reroll failed Leadership Tests” from the model with Hold Your Ground, and they may use this ability to reroll any failed Leadership Tests.
Magical Standard
If a Battle Standard Bearer has the option to buy Magical Items, it is allowed to purchase a Magical Standard. This Magical Standard may either be taken as part of the model’s Magical Items point limit, or it can be taken without any cost limitations (i.e. it could exceed the usual 50 points allowance for a Hero choice), but in this case the model cannot take any other Magical Items.
Their Flag is Down
When a Battle Standard Bearer is removed as a casualty while Engaged in Combat, the Battle Standard is considered captured by the opponent. When a Battle Standard Bearer Breaks from Combat, the Battle Standard is lost (along with the Hold your Ground rule and any Magical Standard) and the model bearing it loses all the effects of the Battle Standard, which is considered captured by the opponent
