Base

Swarms are represented by a number of models mounted onto a single 40 x 40mm base. The exact number of models is not important, but there should be enough to convincingly fill the base. In most cases 5 models is sufficient. A swarm always consists of one type of creature - a swarm of frogs, ants, rats etc.

Combat

A swarm moves and fights as a large monster with 5 wounds and 5 attacks. If your force includes several Swarms of the same type they must congregate and fight together, forming a mass rather like a unit of troops.

Leadership

Swarms are immune to all psychology effects and never take Break tests if defeated in hand-to-hand combat. They will automatically pass any Leadership based test they are obliged to take. The Leadership value of 10 is therefore never used, but has been included for comparative purposes.
