Advanced Reaction

Retribution Strike

For the Ultramarines it was not enough to defy the enemy. Instead, the warriors of the XIIIth must know the enemy and predict its actions in order to make the perfect counter. A theoretical solution to each eventuality must be factored and every individual must be ready to implement it.

• It is not the target of the enemy Shooting Attack that triggered this Reaction.
• At least one Model in the Unit has Line of Sight to the enemy Unit that triggered this Reaction.
• It is eligible to make a Reaction.
• It is eligible to make a Shooting Attack.
• It is entirely composed of Models with the Ultramarines Trait.

1. Once the Reacting Unit has been selected, the Active Player must then resolve all remaining Steps of the Shooting Attack process as normal, up to the start of Step 11.
2. Before resolving Step 11, the Reactive Player makes a Shooting Attack with the Reacting Unit, targeting only the Target Unit.
3. Once this Shooting Attack has been completely resolved, including removing any Casualties, the Players must then finish resolving Step 11 of the original Shooting Attack that triggered the Reaction.

Additional Detachment

Primus Demi-Company

The Ultramarines deployed their forces in a variety of standardised formations. Each of these templated strike forces contained a flexible mix of units, each warrior well-briefed and drilled, knowing his role and objectives before their arrival on the battlefield.

Aflame (X)

Some weapons are wreathed in flame emitted from small projectors, or burn with otherworldly fire, stirring a primaeval aversion in even the boldest warriors.

Bitter Duty

Some warriors are marked by the dire weaponry they bear or the grim tactics in which they are trained. These dour cohorts are shunned by their brethren, whether out of respect for their burden or from fear of their rage.

Combi

Some weapons feature multiple weapons systems linked to the same trigger. Often each weapon will have a specific role, but in extremis, both can be fired simultaneously, blasting the foe with a variety of deadly munitions.

Firestorm

Many units within the Legion conduct warfare at pointblank distances, blasting their foes with a deluge of short ranged firepower.

Gun Emplacement

Mounted on a static cruciform carriage, this emplacement provides a stable firing platform for the armoured turret above.

Impact Reactive Doors

Many drop pods have doors or hatches designed to release via explosive bolts upon landing, either allowing their passengers to disembark as swiftly as possible or for built-in weaponry to be unleashed upon nearby foes.

Implacable Advance

The wargear of many Legiones Astartes warriors and war machines incorporates a variety of targeting and stabilisation systems, enabling larger weaponry to be brought to bear even at close ranges.

Medic (X)

Some specialists are trained in field medicine and carry specialist equipment, from a simple satchel of bandages and pain suppressants to the complex narthecium devices carried by Legion apothecaries. If able to tend to the injured in time, such warriors can he returned to the battle, enabling them to fight on.

Melta (X)

The beams of energy generated by melta weaponry dissipate over long ranges. When used at close quarters, however, their effect on armoured vehicles is devastating.

Orbital Assault Vehicle

Drop pods and other dedicated orbital assault vehicles are intended for one purpose only - to deliver warriors and equipment from orbiting spacecraft to battlefields on a planet’s surface. Once deployed they play little further part in the battle, serving only to support the onslaught of their passengers.

Overload (X)

Some weapons are almost as dangerous to the wielder as to the foe. Supercharged powerpacks can explode in combat or volatile munitions can jam or even detonate, all of which can prove deadly to those charged with deploying such weapons.

Rapid Tracking

Some weapons feature augmented motility and enhanced targeting systems, able to track and lock onto fast moving targets with ease.

Shot Selector

Some weapons are designed to feed from multiple small magazines loaded with specialist ammunition. The most common of these are the Tempest and Scorpius rounds commonly issued to Seeker Squads, but many other Legion forces may utilise even more esoteric and specialised ammunition.

• Panic (1)
• Breaching (4+)
• Suppressive (2)

Slow and Purposeful

Many warriors are steady hut sure, slow to advance but no less deadly for it.

Void Shields (X)

Some especially large vehicles are equipped with almost impenetrable shields of energy, akin to those used on Titan god-engines, relics from ancient times known as void shields.

Void Darts (Psychic Weapon)

Painstakingly crafted to sub-molecular tolerances and meeting the exacting specifications of each Vigilator, each of these masterworks of mechanical technology are calibrated to deliver hardened penetrator rounds with immeasurably little variance between the point of aim and the point of impact.

Breach the Veil (Psychic Power, Blessing)

Binding the denizens of the Warp to their will, the Esoterist breaches the fabric of reality, dragging their otherworldly allies onto the battlefield and setting them upon their foe.

1. Once the Focus has been decided, make a Manifestation Check.
2. If the Manifestation Check is successful, the Active Player can select one Unit from a Daemonic Manifestation Detachment from the same Army as the Focus that is in Reserves. Reserve Rolls made for that Unit are automatically successful for the duration of this Psychic Power.

Seal the Veil (Psychic Reaction, Curse)

Many Esoterists master the sealing ofxtheric energy and investigate any method of repelling the foul entities that spill from that realm, no matter how strange or ritualistic such arcane tricks might be.

1. Once the Focus and Target Unit have been decided, the Target Unit’s Controlling Player makes a Resistance Check for that Unit.
2. If the Resistance Check is failed, then the Target Unit cannot make a Set-Up Move of more than 1", and when a Charge Roll is made for that Unit in Step 5 of the Charge Procedure, the highest Dice is discarded instead of the lowest.

Unseen Bolt (Psychic Weapon)

A bolt of lightning summoned forth from the endless blue sky, this is the hallmark of the Stormseer’s power and a potent weapon against the enemies of the White Scars.

Call of the Wind (Psychic Power, Blessing)

Calling upon the ancient wisdom of the Chogorian shaman, a Stormseer can see the currents of the winds of the future, and speed his brethren along the swift path to victory.

1. Once the Focus and Target Unit have been decided, make a Manifestation Check.
2. If this Psychic Power is successfully Manifested, until the end of the Phase, the Target Unit cannot Rush, but the Movement Characteristic of each Model in the Target Unit is modified by a value equal to that Model’s Initiative Characteristic.
3. If the Manifestation Check fails then there is no further effect to the Target Unit.

Wrath of the Death Wolf (Psychic Weapon)

The Caster of Runes summons a storm from the cold hearth of Morkai and channels it into an icy blast which shatters its frozen victims.

Stormwrought (Psychic Reaction, Blessing)

Calling forth a sudden blizzard from the aether, the Caster of Runes shrouds his own from the enemy’s depredations.

1. Once the Focus and Target Unit have been decided, make a Manifestation Check.
2. If the Manifestation Check is successful, then all attacks made as part of a Shooting Attack made against the Target must be resolved as Snap Shots.
3. If the Manifestation Check fails then there is no further effect.

Augury Scanner

This energy scanning device pierces weather, camouflage and obscuring smoke, alerting the userand their squadmates to the concealed presence of enemy troops in the vicinity, allowing attacks to be directed more effectively.

Boarding Shield

Utilised primarily in boarding actions and Zone Mortalis operations, hoarding shields are bulkier than the similar combat shield, offering a measure of additional protection to the hearer and allowing them to form a formidable bulwark against enemy assault.

Cognis-signum

The cognis-signum is an advanced array of sensory devices, cogitator-assisted communications and telemetry arrays. Installed into a purpose-modified suit of armour, these enable the wearer to coordinate battlefield data with blinding speed.

Combat Shield

A combat shield is a wrist-mounted shield or buckler containing a small field generator that enables it to withstand great amounts of damage.

Command Vox Relay

These powerful omni-vox arrays allow those leaders fortunate enough to have access to such rare assets to carefully judge the flow of battle and maintain close watch over their troops, urging them onwards to victory.

• Until the end of this Turn, Models in that Unit gain the Line (1) Special Rule (and lose the Vanguard (X) Special Rule if they had it).
• Until the end of this Turn, Models in that Unit gain the Vanguard (1) Special Rule (and lose the Line (X) Special Rule if they had it).

Company Standard

Within each of the Legions, individual companies maintain their own standards or icons, listing the battle honours earned. Whenever that formation goes to war, this icon is displayed proudly at the forefront of their advance.

Cortex Controller

This device allows the wielder to witness the battlefield through the senses of the battle-automata under their command, and direct them accordingly.

Cyber-familiar

Utilised by Techmarines and the adepts of the Mechanicum, cyber-familiar is a term that encompasses a variety of semi-autonomous devices such as servo-skulls and other smaller drone units tied into the direct neural control of their operator. These are an extension of their master’s will and provide them with a host of additional senses and capabilities.

Dozer Blade

Dozer blades for the clearance of mines and other obstacles are a common feature of many armoured vehicles.

Frag Grenades

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.

Legion Standard

Each Legion maintains the military’ tradition of the battle standard. Be they a tattered flag that has weathered the shot and shell of a hundred battlefields, a burning steel standard, or a trophy rack bedecked with the heads of slain xenos, it is in the shadow of such icons that battles are won or lost.

Narthecium

The narthecium is a complex dispenser of wrist-mounted pressure-syringes. Filled with potent stimulants, these devices are intended to keep even the most horrifically injured Space Marines combat-capable.

Nuncio-vox

A nuncio-vox is a beacon and communications array that allows constant coordination with other elements of an army, allowing a commander a measure of control and the ability’ to direct their forces, even during the most chaotic battles.

Searchlights

Mounted ilium-beacons or simple electric torches, many vehicles mount some kind of portable light to aid in target identification and destruction in darkness and poor weather.

Servo-arm

Many mechanically-minded combatants take to the battlefield bearing additional mechanical arms mounted upon their armour, or even upon their body itself, to aid repairs to armoured vehicles.

Thermal Diffraction Field

Constructed by a series of armour-mounted generators, these layered energy shields diffuse heat energy around the bearer, protecting them from lethal energy strikes.

Vexilla

The humble vexilla displays the heraldry of a particular squad or officer, proclaiming not only its designation in the Legion but also its proud legacy in the annals of the Great Crusade.

Medic!

Some warriors specialise in battlefield triage and providing medical aid to their fellows, even under heavy fire. Such specialists are often identified by the variety of medical equipment they carry, from simple bindings and stim-packs, to complex arrays of piston-driven syringes dispensing unguents, serums and potent stimulants to keep their brethren combat-capable.

1. Once a Medic! Advanced Reaction has been declared, the Active Player continues resolving that Shooting Attack.
2. In Step 11 of that Shooting Attack, the Reactive Player may make one Recovery Test for each Model in the Target Unit that is allocated an Unsaved Wound - but no more than one Recovery Test may be made for any single Model. However, no Recovery Tests may be made for any Model in the Target Unit that has the Medic (X) Special Rule.

Shieldwall!

Many warriors go to battle carrying large protective shields, commonly issued when the fighting is expected to be conducted at close ranges, such as Zone Mortalis or breach storming engagements. With sufficient training, these warriors can form a moving bulwark, layering and overlapping such shields to provide protection against all hut the most determined attacks.

1. The Active Player continues to resolve this Shooting Attack as normal.
2. All Models in the Unit for which this Advanced Reaction is declared have their Toughness Characteristic modified by +1 for the duration of the Phase in which this Reaction was declared.

Smokescreen

Many troops and even vehicles are fitted with an array of deployable defensive measures, ranging from high-tech sensor disruptors, to chaff dispensers and even simple smoke grenade launchers. Despite their variety, all have the same simple purpose: to hide the users from the enemy.

1. The Active Player continues to resolve this Shooting Attack as normal.
2. All Models in the Unit for which this Reaction was declared gain a 5+ Shrouded Damage Mitigation Test against any wounds, Penetrating Hits or Glancing Hits inflicted during any Shooting Attack made in the same Phase in which this Reaction was declared.
