SPECIAL RULES

Allies 'til the End - Haldir treats both Aragorn and Théoden as a banner with a range of 6". Additionally, whilst within 6" of either Aragorn or Théoden, Haldir automatically passes all Courage Tests and may re-roll failed To Wound Rolls when making Strikes.

"Fall Back to the Keep!" - If this Army is Broken, friendly Warrior models gain a bonus of +1 to any Courage Tests they are required to take. Additionally, if this Army is Broken, friendly Warrior models within 6" of Théoden may re-roll failed Courage Tests.

"Give them a Volley" - Friendly models increase the range of their shooting attacks by 6", provided they have not moved that turn. This special rule does not apply to throwing weapons.
