Keywords
Rules governing all Keywords in the game are listed here. They define the core abilities, rules, troop types and damage categories in the game. Keywords appear in the rules in CAPITALS to make it easy for you to spot them. A model or piece of Battlekit may have multiple Keywords.
Keywords have two benefits: they act as Tags and may confer an Effect. A Keyword that confers an Effect also acts as a Tag.
Tags: Keyword that is a Tag can be referred to by other rules. For example: a rule might say it applies only to ELITE models, meaning it would only apply to models that have the ELITE Keyword.
Effect: A Keyword that confers an Effect will include a special rule in its description. The special rule applies to all models that have the Keyword, or any model that has a piece of Battlekit that has that Keyword. For example: models armed with Ranged Weapons that have the ASSAULT Keyword can use them to make a Ranged Attack on the same turn that they make a Melee Attack.
