Actions

When you Activate a model, you can take one or more ACTIONS with the model. You can take the ACTIONS in any order you choose. However, each type of ACTION can only be taken once per Activation unless otherwise stated in the rules. For example, you could Shoot, then Move, and then Dash with a model during its Activation, or Dash, then Charge, and then Fight, but you could not Shoot, then Dash, and then Shoot again.

Common Actions

Common ACTIONS that all models can take are listed below. In addition to these, some models can take ACTIONS that are described in their Warband Entry or in the special rules for a piece of Battlekit, a Glory Item, or a Campaign Skill that the model has. These ACTIONS can be taken when the model is Activated in addition to any of the common ACTIONS listed below, but each can still only be taken once per Activation.

Move or Charge or Retreat: You can take one of the following ACTIONS with a model:

Move: You can move your model a number of inches equal to its Movement Characteristic in any direction.
Charge: Pick an enemy model that is in the Line of Sight of your model and within 12" of it as the target of the charge. Then roll a dice, add the roll to your model’s Movement Characteristic, and move your model towards the target. You cannot take a Charge ACTION with a model that is already within 1" of an enemy model. A model cannot take a Shoot ACTION and a Charge ACTION in the same Activation, unless it uses a Weapon that has the ASSAULT keyword.
Retreat: A Retreat is a special type of move that is used when a model is within 1" of an enemy model and wishes to move away.

Dash: You can move your model a number of inches equal to its Movement Characteristic in any direction, but you must take a Risky Success Roll for the model first. If you Succeed you can move with the model (it cannot charge or retreat); if you fail, the model’s Activation ends. A Dash can be carried out in addition to, and either before or after a Move, Charge, or Retreat ACTION. For example, a model could Dash, then Shoot, and then Move.

Shoot: This ACTION allows you to make a Ranged Attack with the model.

Fight: This ACTION allows you to make a Melee Attack with the model.
