Some weapons are capable of breaching armour with a terrifying ease, whether by specially designed munitions, careful targeting or sheer brute power.

A branch of weaponry now commonplace among the ranks of the Legiones Astartes, bolt weapons are based on a robust Terran design, refined from the weapons used during the Emperor’s battles to conquer Old Earth. These brutally efficient weapons fire a caseless, self-propelled and mass reactive munition, more akin to a miniature rocket than a simple bullet and easily capable of eviscerating most foes against which the Space Marines of the Imperium find themselves matched. Such was the success of these weapons that they would eventually come to replace the more complex Martian weapons that had once dominated the arsenals of the Legiones Astartes.

This class of grenade contains only a small explosive charge, and is intended primarily to disorientate and distract the foe while closing on a fixed position.

Some warriors are skilled at moving over broken and tangled terrain.

Some troops employ a flexible battle stance, engaging the foe at close quarters one moment, before peeling off to strike with renewed vigour the next.

The greatest commanders of the Space Marine Legions are all but peerless in their strategic and tactical abilities. The genecraft of the Emperor that created them, honed by individual talent and the experience of countless battles, has sharpened their acumen to a preternatural degree.

• Rites of War: If a Detachment with the Legiones Astartes Faction includes at least one model with the Master of the Legion special rule then that Detachment may select a single Rite of War. Rites of War are presented in the Legiones Astartes Rites of War section.
• The Few and the Proud: An army may only include a maximum of one model with this special rule per 1,000 points. This counts across all Detachments of an army. Thus, an army that totals at least 1,000 points may include only a single model with the Master of the Legion special rule, and an army that totals at least 2,000 points may include up to two models with the Master of the Legion special rule, etc.
• Retinue: A model with this special rule may also include a Legion Command Squad, Legion Cataphractii Command Squad or Legion Tartaros Command Squad as part of the same Force Organisation slot as the model with the Master of the Legion special rule.

Whether pledged to the Emperor himself as the rightful leader of Mankind or to the dream of the Imperium that he intended to create, some warriors swore to fight and die for the Loyalist cause and no other.

The Wildfire Panoply

Fashioned to be as aesthetically pleasing as it was impregnable, the Khagan’s armour perfectly complemented his fast and uncompromising style of warfare, and bore a number of unique systems to improve his already unmatched reflexes.

The White Tiger Dao

This elegant weapon is styled in the manner of the weapons of the Chogorian hill tribes, yet its primitive exterior hides a plethora of technological marvels that allow the blade to part ceramite and plasteel with ease.

Storm’s Voice

An artisan pistol from the Dark Age of Technology gifted to the Khagan by the Emperor, Storm’s Voice stayed at Jaghatai’s side throughout the long years of the Great Crusade. Many a xenos tyrant or wayward human despot deemed unworthy of the Khan’s blade met their end engulfed by the searing lightning of Storm’s Voice, an end that many Traitors would eventually share during the wars of the Horus Heresy.

Bolstered by their ultimate faith in their goal, the crusader is tireless, sweeping from one foe to the next in a battle that never ends.

Some warriors are specially trained to bypass the most dangerous hazards of the battlefield, or adapted to ignore the dangers they present.

Jaghatai Khan was often underestimated by his foes, dismissed as an uncultured and ill-educated barbarian. Yet, he showed a grasp of mobile tactics, the ways of the nomadic tribes he had adopted as his own, that far exceeded any of his kin. Under his command the White Scars were a wild storm unleashed with a precision that allowed them to overcome any opponent.

The Sojutsu pattern voidbike is an early prototype jetbike that predates the more common Scimitar jetbike in use with the Legiones Astartes. During initial trials, its thrusters were capable of providing sufficient thrust to grant the bike limited periods of true flight, and even some manoeuvrability in deep space, and it was classed by the Logisticae Imperialis as an ultralight fighter craft instead of a jetbike. Jaghatai Khan retains a specially engineered version of this prototype vehicle for his own use, its enhanced thrusters capable of carrying the Primarch into battle with a swiftness that was the envy of the other warriors of his Legion.

• Two master-crafted heavy bolters.
• The Hammer of Wrath (2) and Firing Protocols (3) special rules.
• The Antigrav Sub-type.
• When upgraded to have a Sojutsu pattern voidbike, Jaghatai Khan Falls Back 3D6" instead of 2D6".
• When upgraded to have a Sojutsu pattern voidbike, Jaghatai Khan may join units that include models with the Cavalry Unit Type despite the usual restrictions, and any rules that target the Cavalry Unit Type are considered to affect Jaghatai Khan as if he had that Unit Type.
