1/2
Heroic/Villainous Dog (Grade 1)The Heroic/Villainous Dog is unlike the animals available for Animal Handling. He is a character unto himsel
He sniffs out trouble, leaps into action, and almost never leaves a fallen comrade. Because the model is a Grad
you do not need to take Animal Handling in order to use him. He is also part of the Neutral Groups and so can
taken by either Heroes or Villains.
Also, unlike the Animals in the main rulebook, the Heroic/Villainous Dog can check out Encounter Markers. H
can determine if something is a trap or a clue, however he cannot do anything with the clue other than get his
owners attention.

Combat:
Leap Attack: Models with this ability leap at their target when charging into close combat. If a model
is charging into combat, they can choose this attack instead of a normal attack. The attack is rolled
normally, but instead of damage being calculated, the models take a comparative BW test. If the

attacking model wins this test, then the defender is moved back 2 and placed on the ground Prone. If
the defending model wins this test, it is only moved back 1. The attacker can, in either case, choose
whether to go back into base contact with the defender after it has been moved.
Predator (+X): Similar to Martial Arts and Pugilist, this skill gives animals a higher Shiv score.
Other Skills:
Keen Senses (+X): This skill is similar to Streetwise in that it allows models with it to determinewhether an encounter marker is a clue, a dud, or a trap. However, it also has an additional feature. It
raises the BR for the model by the increment purchased for any test to determine what an encounter
marker is.
