| Rare Units are the most
powerful troops in the army, as well as those that are least in number. There
is a maximum number of Rare Units that can be fielded, and this varies with the size of
the army (see "Armies of Albion").
Famous companies of Dogs of War have on occasion fought
alongside the armies of Albion, such as the Giants of Albion. |

Unit Size: Each Giant counts as a single Rare Unit choice.
Weapons and Armour: Axe (hand weapon).
Options:
- A Giant may be equipped with light armour (+10 pts).
Special Rules:
Giants: Giants are large targets and cause Terror.
Giants treat obstacles like open ground, but are prone to falling. Roll a D6 if they
cross an obstacle or lose a round of combat. If you roll a 1 the Giant has fallen
and can squash those underneath. Use the Scatter dice to see which direction he
falls in, and the model itself as a template. Those underneath take a single S5 hit
which causes D3 wounds. Giants may not attack and are hit automatically in
hand-to-hand combat whilst on the ground. They are automatically killed if they
break from combat while on the ground. It takes a Giant one turn to stand up.
Giants also fall over when they die.
In close combat you must roll a dice each round to determine what the Giant
will do that turn. Against other large targets: on a roll of 1-3 Giants will Yell
and Bawl (Giant does not attack, but enemy automatically loses the fight by 2); on the
roll of a 4-6 they will 'Eadbutt (D6 S6 hits, randomized like missile fire for ridden
monsters). Against smaller opponents: Giants will Yell and Bawl on the roll of a
1-2, on the roll of a 3-4 they will Jump Up and Down (2D6 S6 hits on unit, randomized like
missile fire, but first test to fall over - see above) and on the roll of a 5-6 they will
Swing With Club (D6 S6 hits on unit, randomized like missile fire).
