Detachment Rule
Insurmountable Odds
When Hormagaunts, Termagants and other such expendable warrior organisms attack en masse they make up for their comparative fragility with sheer numbers. Coupled with the speed and ferocity of their onslaught - which only seems to increase as the prey try to gun the creatures down or drive them back - the gathered broods soon overrun even the most determined defenders.
Each time an enemy unit is selected to shoot, after that unit has finished making its attacks, if one or more models from one or more Endless Multitude units from your army were destroyed as a result of those attacks, each such unit can make a Surge move. To do so, roll one D6: that unit can be moved a distance in inches up to the result, but that unit must end that move as close as possible to the closest enemy unit (excluding AIRCRAFT). When doing so, those models can be moved within Engagement Range of enemy units. A unit cannot make a Surge move while it is Battle-shocked.
