Giants are ungainly and frequently befuddled, as a consequence of which they often trip, stumble or fall down. They are especially prone to this if they've been raiding the local brewery. When a Giant falls over, this is bad news for everyone nearby as a falling Giant can easily squash anything it falls on.
A Giant must test to see whether it falls over if any of the following apply:
When it is beaten in close combat. Test once results are established but before taking Break test.
If it is fleeing the start of the Movement phase.
When it crosses an obstacle. Test when the obstacle is reached.
If the Giant decides to Jump Up and Down on an enemy. Test immediately beforehand.
To see if the Giant falls over roll a D6. If the dice roll is a 1, the Giant falls over. (A slain Giant falls over automatically.)
To determine which direction the Giant falls, roll a Scatter dice - the arrow indicates the direction in which the Giant falls. Place the Falling Giant template with its feet at the model's base and its head in the direction of the fall. Any models lying completely under the template are automatically hit. Any models partly covered are hit on a 4+.
A model hit by a falling Giant takes a Strength 6 hit causing D3 wounds. If the unit is in combat and the Giant has fallen over whilst attempting to Jump Up and Down, wounds inflicted by a falling Giant count towards the combat result.
A Giant that falls over automatically suffers 1 wound with no armour saves allowed. If the Giant is in combat then this wound counts towards the final combat result.
Once on the ground (you may lie the model down if you wish) a Giant may get up in his following Movement phase, but may not move that turn.
Whilst on the ground a Giant may not attack, but he can still defend himself after a fashion so the enemy must still roll to score hits on him. If forced to flee whilst on the ground the Giant is slain - the enemy swarm over him and cut him to pieces. If the Giant gets the opportunity to pursue his foes whilst he's on the ground he stands up instead. A Giant may attack on the turn it stands up.
