Kâhl model only. In the Fight phase, when a model in this unit is destroyed, if this unit has not been selected to fight this phase, roll one D6: on a 4+, do not remove that model from the battlefield; after this unit has fought, or at the end of the phase (whichever comes first), that model is removed from the battlefield.
